 BOTTLENECK TO
 BE PREVENTED
CA to Emphasize Training of Instructors in War;
 ious Flying Schools

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is - By emphasizing the training of in- structors for civilian and military pilot training schools during the Fall program now beginning, the Civil AeronauticS Administration will help to prevent the threatening bcttleneck ir instructor production, officials believe.
 The need for production of more instructors arose when the Army and Navy decided to step up their pilot production from 12.000 to 30.- 900 year, Administrator Donald H. Connolly said, in announcing that the emphasis in the Fall program will be on advanced training.
 If an instructor bottleneck were allowed to develop, Uncle Sam would find would-be pilots lined up at each field, awaiting their turn with the all too few instructors. and the CAA program would then not be able to feed into the military ser vices young flying school graduates who are currently joining up at the rate of more than 1000 a month
 There will be about 500 college and 100 non-college centers partici- pating in the Fall program. Re duction of the elementary scholar ships has imposed a reduction in the number of flight contractors for the Fall to about 520 In the sec ondary courses. about POO colleges and 200 flight contractors will be engaged. The cross country and instructor courses will be given by about 135 flight contractors.

LARGE RE ! N DEE R
 BUTCHERINC
Teller Herds Go 10 Market in Siates at Less ihan
 Beef Prices

A large-scale butchering of rein deer for expert was finished at t. Teller Plant last week Approxi mately 6O,0oO pounds were shipped in cold storage on the s. s. Bering. The Sutherland will transport the balance, about 65.000 pounds.
 The total product has been sold by the Association of Teller Unit Herds to the nglo-American Cor poration. Of New York City. It will be supplied to the speciality meat trade of the United States. Prices which were obtained were not re- vealed, but they are understood to be the highest procured since 1922.
 Reindeer in the Teller area were in top condition this year, and an- imals were carefully selected for butchering. Butcher stock was killed in the most humane manner. by using pithed with quick knife thrust to the brain. Carcasses were immediately hung to bleed, then were carefully skinned, washed, and hung to coOl. After being frozen they were wrapped in white tubing and burlap meat sacks. Livers, hearts, and tongues were frozen in blocks, which were then wrapped similar to carcasses.
 Native Assc iation
 The Association of Teller Unit Herds is a marketing and herding organization, the members of which are the Teller, Iglco, Inland, Wales, 5hishmaref. Espenberg, and Dser- ing native reindeer companies. The Reindeer Service and the Ass3cia- ticn cooperate closely in all phases of reindeer work. Receipts from sales of reindeer products are used on all ranges used by members Of the Association.
 This is the area from which the Reindeer Service moved $500 rein deer to the Kotzebue region this past winter The ranges between Deering and Teller contain more reindeer than the available forage can feed permanently, due to this factor and to excellent butchering and shipping facilities at Teller, it is a logical point from which to ship Shipments, except of by-pro- duets, should not be made from most other areas, as the safe annual harvest of reindeer is needed by their Native owners for home use.
 Cheaper Than Beef
 The Reindeer Service states that Nome merchants can now procure almost any quantity of choice, wrapped, reindeer meat by ship ment from Teller at prices below the Seattle wholesale cost of the poorest grade of beef. The U. S.. Army has expressed much interest in reeirdeer meat as one important source of food for the whole popula- ton in emergency.
 The Reindeer Services Unit Manager, Sam $. Kendrick, super vised the Teller butchering for the Government. Jerry Kaloke, effici ent manager for the Association, directed the entire labor crew of mere than 3 skillful Eskimo rein Geer men and women.

expansion. Should the Bolshevists
increase in strength, Toxic is likely
to sit very tight and avoid trouble

The Berlin and Moscow COM
muniques throw little light on the
progress of the fighting, and prob
ably aren't calculated to do so. From
this we can take 1t that nothing
decisive has happened.
The Russian official spokesman.
Vice Foreign Commissar Lozovsky,
declares in the graphic language
which he has been employing that
the "blitzkrieg is a washout," that
the Reds are holding their line from
the Arctic to the Black Sea. and
that the Nazis are up against an
other Verdun. The Germans waste
few words in claiming that while
their drive has been slowed down
by heavy resistance and bad
weather. their program is proceeding
satisfactorily.
The important fact to note in all
this is that the German invasion
has been retarded and that there
apparently has been no vital break
through the Red line recently. Be-
yond that we shall be we'll advised
to wait for further indications be-
fore making up our minds what the
outcome of this greatest battle OF
all time is going to be.
Battle of determination.
One other grim point emerges
from sthis bloody conflict. 1t is in.
creasingly apparent that this is M
ordinary passage at arms, but q
battle Of determination is proceed
ing.
The Nazis began their conquest

the Red Army. And ever since the

Evening star., 1941-07-28
By DEWITT MACKENZIE.

The Russo-German war, which
enters its sixth week with the Boil
shevists not only holding the line
against the hitherto invincible Nazi
fighting machine but finding
strength for counterattacks, is in
creasingly a mighty factor in the
Allied expectations of victory.
Six weeks ago the world in gen.
eral wasn't inclined to dispute the
Nazi boast that they would be in
Moscow by this time. The tradi-
ton was rapidly growing that the
German Army couldn't be stopped.
Now, however, each day that the
Reds hold that heaving, straining
line is a golden one for the Allies.
The Muscovites are bleeding the
Hitlerites as Britain couldn't have
hoped to do for months to come.
Time Costly to Hitler.
Time is adding rapidly to the
vast amount of energy which Hitler
is expending in man power, mate
riasl and equipments matter of
incalculable Importance. And 1t
increases the likelihood that rapidly
approaching winter will overtake
the NaziS on the bleak plains of
Russia and kill all chances for the
quick conquest on which the Fueh-
rer was banking.
Dispatches from Turkey reiterate
in greater detail the reported Ger
man plan to offer Britain peace as
soon as a quick Nazi victory had
been achieved over Russia. Hitler
would make the Allies large conces-
sions, providing he was recognized
as master of the continent of
Europe. But this plan, which prob
ably loomed large in Berlin six
weeks ago, now must seem like a
dim cloud on the far distant
| horizon.
Then there is another aspect Of
the world turmoil which is being
greatly influenced by the fierce
Russian resistance. That is the
japanese program Of expansion.
There can be small doubt that the
Nipponese will be largely governed
in their further moves by the out
come Of the great battle now being
Waged in Western Russia.
No Decision Reached Yet.
If the Nazis break the Red opposi-
ton and surge forward to victory,
