Eskimosof
 Barrow in
 War Effort

1 FAIRBANKS, Alaska What good for the geese in Manhattan is good for the ganders way up at Barrow.
 Which is simply an unpoetic way of expressing that the Eskimo population on the most northerly shores of Uncle Sam's domain are in this war as deep as the chief air raid warden in Times Square. Three residents of the village 325 miles north of Arctic Circle are in Fairbanks, two of them watch ing life in Fairbanks from a den- lists chair, the third recuperating from a rendezvous he kept with a surgeons scalpel.
 Which, again, tells a story in it. self-there is neither dentist nor doctor in Barrow's 24-bed Office of Indian Affairs hospital. Democracy Defined
 The Barrow visitors are Mrs. Howard Burkher, instructor in the Office of Indian Affairs school; Miss Clara Kaufmann, hospital nurse; and Corporal James Truly, U. S. Signal Corps radio operator. Corporal Truly is recovering from an appendectomy at the Ladd Field hospital
 Perhaps more than any previous experience under the wing of the big eagle in Washington, this war and Selective Service have defined democracy for her Eskimo neigh bors, in the opinion of Mrs. Burk- her.
 Conscription has taught the Els kimos that they may march on even terms in the same ranks with their white foster-cousins. Pearl Harbor proved that, as civilians, they are entitled, and anxious, to rub shoulders with their fairer- skinned compatriots in the protec- tion of their own bleak, barren but their own-front yard.
 Wartime Precautions
 Since December 2, Mrs. Burkher said, nightly blackouts have been effective in the Eskimo community Twenty y-four- hour volunteer guard has been maintained, with each shift, whites among the greater number of natives, standing six hour turn at distributed intervals.
 To make the plan clearer for the Eskimos large peg-board was constructed. Each peg represents volunteer guard Each hole sym bolizes an assigned post. When an Eskimo leaves the village, tenn porarily, for a hunting foray on the tundra back country, he pulls his peg. Upon his return the peg is crammed back in the hole
 Civilian Detense Staff
 Sergeant Stanley Morgan, the man behind the dot-dash of the '
 Alaska Communications System at Barrow the past 13 years, is chief of Civilian Defense in his village. His lieutenants are Douglas John son, U S. Reindeer Service, and Delwyn Rasmussen, government Meatherman, instructors of the rifle unit; Howard Burkher, prin- cipal of Barrow's five teacher school, chief air raid warden; the Reverend Fred George Klerekoper, Presbyterian missionary, fire chief; and Mildred Keaton, hardy, dog mushing angel of the Arctic first aid chairman

GERALD SMITH
 SEEKS TO BE
 COP. SENATOR
By BRANDT RIDGWAY United Press Stan COrrespOndent)

NOWAVGU EEGsS Gk4M GNEkCNAp0AA1GhASy
 Lansing, Mich, Aug. 3l-(UP)- Gerald l.. K. Smith, famed former Huey P. Long aide in Louisiana, has returned to the Republican party and Is seeking tl,e Republican nom- nation for Uri.ed States Senator in Michigan or a platform calling for tires for everyone now.
 The sDetroit radio orator and chairman of the committee of one million has strong opposition, how ever, in Circuit Judge Homer Fer guson. the Detroit one-man grand jury, and Elton R. Eaton, militant weekly newspaper published from Plymouth, Detroit suburb.
 Ferguson, who has taken leave of absence from the bench, spent two and-a-half years Investigating Detroit and Wayne countys alleged $10O,O0O,O0O vice rackets. He in- dicted a former mayor, high police officials, county officers and more than 400 others, many of whom al- ready have begun serving prison terms. Ferguson decided to run after he had convinced himself that in seeking a United States office he would not violate a provision in the state constitution that prohibits circuit judges from seeking any of flee other than judicial during their incumbency.
 Hoffman Has Opposition
 Michigan Democrats have no con- tests for statewide offices. U. s. Senator Prentiss M. Brown, CO., author of the price control bill, was unpoposed for re-nomination as was Governor Murray D. Van Wagoner.
 Southwestern Michigan republi- cans were staging a congressional primary that was expected to attract national attention.
 Rep. Clare E. Hoffman, outspok- en anti-new dealer from Allegan, Mich, will have two opponents in the Republican primary for re- nomination to represent the 4th (southwest) Michigan congressional district.
 Although labor groups and the Michigan Young Republicans or ganization have called for Hoffman's defeat, there was difficulty in get ting candidates to oppose him. He has been unopposed in two previous Republican primaries. His district is mostly rural.
 Hammond Enters Primary
 State Sen. J. T. Hammond, Ben- ton Harbor attorney and active in the Young Republican organization, announced his candidacy at the last minute although he made 1t clear he wanted to return to the Michi- gan senate In the state senate he himself as a hard worker and an expert on insurance and unemployment compensation matters. Benjamin J. Burton, of South Haven, an unknown in state | politics, announced his opposition to Hoffman before Hammond made up his mind.
 Two Democrats seek the right to oppose Hoffman in the November election, but neither was believed to be a threat because the voting ill the 4th Michigan congressional dis trict usually is about to l Re- publican.
 Rep. Bartel J. Jonkman, of Grand Rapids, was in a four-corn- cred primary race for the Republi- can fifth congressional nomination and Rep. Paul Shafer, of Ba tile Creek, had two opponents in the third district.
 Six Republican Congressmen were in the primary, includ- ing Rep. Albert J. Engel, of Muske- gon, who gained national attention when he uncovered wastes in Army | camp construction as result of 8 hitch ?hiking tour.
