to make use Of the natural resources
the fish, game, furs and timber
which abound. She has tried for
years to get them to plant gardens
and grow vegetables during the brief
Labrador summer.
Mrs. Paddon and the handful Of
young men and women who staff
the Grenfell station raise quite
crop of green things every year,
starting them in hothouSes before
the snow is gone. The Grenfell
center also boasts a dairy herd-the
only cows in Labrador-and the
loneliest horse in the world; the
only horse north of the Strait of
Belle Isle. They wanted me to in

have a bitter, revengeful person.
ality. He bites and kicks and is
desperately unhappy.
To Mrs. Paddon, the Eskimos and
Indians-who are mostly a mixture
of both, with some white thrown
in-are the finest, most generous,
most charitable human beings in
the world. But they simply cannot
be taught to think of tomorrow.
They are hunters, and fishermen,
and trappers. At the Yale School,
their sons and daughters are given
grammar and high school educa-
tions, on the theory that this will
influence the whole culture Of the
country, and doubtless it does. But
it is slow process.
No one knows what the effect of
introducing huge air bases and daily
air travel into the land will be. I
found most of the young Eskimo
boys alert, friendly, and desirous
OF getting out, somehow, into the
white mans country to the south.
They have never seen automobiles,
but they are quite familiar with
airplanes and snowmobiles, and the
white mans motion pictures. now
being shown in Labrador for the
first time, have profound effect on
them. One lad educated at the Yale
School went away and became q
pilot in the r. c. A. F. and Is now
fghting overseas. He is a living
legend through the length and
breadth of Labrador.
There is some tendency toward
resentment, among r. C. A. r. men
and the Canadians, who came into

Suffice it to say that the journey in

and hazardous travel of the trip
including dog team, snowmobile and
not least-a leaky canvas canoe

British-on their honeymoon in

with only a couple of winters on the

establish a well-equipped hospital
here, and the Yale School for Eskimo
children, which now has so boarders
and nearly 400 day students.
In contrast to the R. c. A. F. lads

Roundup Made
in New York City

NEW YORK. July 9-(R-
Fast-moving FBI agents bent on
wiping out the German-Ameri-
can Bund rounded up 81 addi-
tional members in the metropoli-
tan area last night for total of
III Bundist arrests throughout
the nation in two days.
The new prisoners were seized
as dangerous enemy aliens and
were removed to Ellis Island to
await hearings by alien enemy
boards that could result in in
ternment for the war duration.
Meanwhile some of the origi-
nal 20 indicte d Tuesday on
charges ranging from espionage
to evasion of the Selective Serv-
ice and alien registration acts
were arraigned and held in bail
as high as $4,000. Pleas of inno-
cent were entered by all but one
of those heard yesterday.
Among those pleading inno-
cent was Gerhard Wil-h e m
Kunze, former national Bund
leader, who was captured in
Mexico and now is held at Hart
ford, Conn, under $50, 900 ,bail
on a charge of espionage. Also
held at Hartford in $500 bail
was Wilbur V. Keegan, former
Bund counsel who had offices at
Teaneck, N. j.
The indictments against Kee-
gan and rs of the % others ar
rested Tuesday charge conspir-
acy to evade the Selective Serv-
ice Act, conspiracy to counsel
Bund members to resist service
in the u. S. armed forces or
conspiracy to conc e a Bupd

all aliens. In the case of Kunze,
espionage also is charged.
In New York, seven of those
under indictment, inc u d ing
Gustav Elmer, Bund national
treasurer, pleaded innocent be-
fore Federal Judge George Swee-
ney and were held in bonds to-
falling S85, 900.
An eighth, John August Grill,

ney postponed his sentencing I'M

Studies Reveal GuoyuIe
as Most Promising Plant
However. Substantial Yields Connot
be Expected in Immediate Future
grown this summer to plant at

grown this summer to plant at
least $4,000 acres next winter.
Loren G.. Polhamus, rubber
specialist of the bureau of plant
industry, emphasized, however,
that substantial yields of guayule
rubber cannot be expected in the
immediate future. At least 600,-
600 acres would be required to
provide a sixth of the nations
normal needs.
Polhamus, asserting consider
able attention had been given
lately to the possibilities of Cryp-
tostegia, tropical vine of the
milkweed family found in Mex
leo nd other Latin-American
countries, said it had been claim
ed by those interested in this
plant that it would produce rub
Der much more quickly than
Guayule. He added, however,
that the department was not yet
ready to recommend extensive
paintings of Cryptostegia be-
cause no practical method of ex-
tracing rubber from the plant
had been found.
Nevertheless, the department
is planting several test tracts of
this plant in Florida, Mexico,
Haiti and Cuba to ascertain pro-
duction problems and be pre-
pared to inaugurate a CONNER
cial program in the event en-
gineers and chemists should find
an extraction method.
Polhamus said lack of an ex-
traction method also was holding
up the Goldenrod as a source Of
rubber.
The department has planted
about 500 pounds of Russian
Dandelion in nurseries in north
ern states to test its adaptability
to climate in this country.
Officials said the department
believed that development Of the
rubber tree culture in tropical
America offered the best hope
for Tong term supplies of rub
Der, at costs which are competi.
tive with those of rubber pro-
duced anywhere in the world.

After many months of intense
investigating and experimenting,
agriculture department plant
specialist and engineers have
about concluded that there is no
quick, easy source of natural
rubber to replace supplies cut
off by the war.
Departmental It u d i have
been directed at such rubber

Most promising of these, in
