HARVEY STARLIN0 BACK FROM FIELD
 TRIP IN FAR NORTH

Harvey Starring, supervisor of Arts and Crafts for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. has returned to Ju- neau after a 75-day field trip to the north.
 MT. Starling's journey covered an area from Nome to stations on the Seward Peninsula and from Kotze- bue to Barro4. Travelling was very difficult much Of the time, due to extremely bad weather Through lack of plane transportation, he was delayed three weeks in Fairbanks, while enroute to Nome Heavy snows throughout the north, follow ed by strong wrnds causing drifts, made it nearly impossible at times for pilots to land their planes. To cover the Eskimo villages along the Arctic coast, it was often necessary for MT. Starling to travel by dog team. One of these sled journeys toox more than a week, during which time the temperature dropped to 30 degrees below zero with 25 mile wind blowing con- stantly.
 Clothes worn on the trip consist ed of pants made of dog skin, muk- luks, reindeer gauntlets and heavy parka. At several villages along the way he dined on dried founder and "quak' Qrozen reindeer meat) having become accustomed to it during his former six years stay in the north.
 Since each Eskimo village has a school supervised by the Bureau, accommodations were always avail able, and had it not been for the changeable weather, MT. Starling would have been quite comfortable most of the time. One night the temperature was 30 below when we retired" the supervisor reports, but by morning it had risen to g above. Such extremes cause great fatigue to the human body"
 Many interesting experiences oc- cured on the trip. At one time while flying over the tundra, they sighted a herd of reindeer sur rounded by gang of wolves. Up on reaching the nearest town, the incident was reported and Eskimo hunters were dispatched to kill as many of the wolves as possible.
 All in all the trip proved to be most satisfactory, MT. Starling states, but I am indeed glad tc be back in Juneau and enjoying the comforts of civilization

DEFECTS In
AMERICAN SYSTEM
URGES FASCISM

Gary, Ind (ILNS.) Norm n
Thomas, Socialist candidate for Pres
ident, warned here against rise of
Fascism because of defects in the
American economic and political sys-
TEN.
Thomas, speaking at Socialist
rally, asserted that the platforms of
both major parties presented no pos
sibility of solving the real issue faced
by this country He cited the SINH
larities between republican and dem
ocratic platforms on peace, and said
that the people would have no chance
to participate in the postwar world.
Actually said Thomas, "it is
doubtful if the American people, in
spite of the election, will have much
more to say directly about the peace
and the postwar world organization
than the people of Russia or even
China"
Thomas added that other undemo-
cratic features in American life were
the method of electing Presidents

STAND BY!
Ry RUTH TAYLOR

Production has slowed down since
the rumors of the break in Germany.
Now Pm not saying that the ru
mors aren't true. l don't know all
the facts-and neither do you. But l
do know that we can't win war
without weapons. | also know enough
about human psychology to know that
nothing will help the Nazis keep on
fighting more than slowing up on
our part.
/ am not saying that labor is slack
ening in its efforts. There are plenty
of other factors involved - including
the weather. Labor has done an ex-
cellent job. I've seen the figures and
I've heard people who know what
they're talking about say SO.
But what labor has done has moth
ing to do with the present emergency.
Nor have the derelictions of anyone
else-even the weather man.
We are right smack in the middle
of an emergency. More arms are
needed, not manana but P. d. @. 1t
is the sons and brothers of the work
ers who are fighting in France, in
Italy, in the South Pacific. 1t is the
sons and brothers of the workers who
are flying over Germany with their
loads Of bombs.
Now is the time they need help.
Not yesterday or tomorrow 1t is to-
day. They must have help After they
have been supplied is time enough to
apportion blame, fight for rights and
get things set SO those who return
will have good jobs at fair wages and
under good conditions.
Every days delay means the death
of more of our own young men. Have
you seen the length of the casualty
lists? SO many lives given in the
cause of freedom!
The workers of America can speed
the day Of victory The line of sup
plies must not break. | know the
spirit of labor. | know the workers
will not fail.
But the need is now stand by!

N. Y.C. OF COMMERCE
MAKES ATTACK
ON VINO PLAN

New York City (ILNS).-In an in
terim report, the Chamber of Com
merce of New York state vigorously
criticizes the War Manpower Commits
sion's controlled referral plan requir-
ing the hiring of most men employees
through the U. S. Employment Serv-
ice.
The report advises employers that
they need not regard the plan as COM
pulsory and should consider the pen
alties cited in conjunction with it as
Having no legal basis"
The program, as put into effect by
order of VINO Chairman Paul V. Nc
Mutt July L, it is pointed out in the
report, has no specific statutory au-
thority from Congress. The report
adds that legal research has failed
to find any laws granting such author
ity.
"In fact, only the vague War Pow
ers Act gave the slightest foundation
for such an assumption of authority, y
the report says.
1t goes on to assert that New York
City is in non-critical area and it's
labor situation is reasonably salts
factory"
"The War Manpower Commission
appears to think that it's controlled re-
ferral plan may enable the U. S. En-
ployment Service to move many en-
ployes from New York to critical
areas, but there are serious obstacles
in trying to persuade employees to
move from non-critical areas to cities
in which the labor situation is crit
ical," the report adds.
among those are lack of housing
and unwillingness to leave their
homes"
1t is pointed out that the statement,
which represents only the opinion of
the committee until acted upon by the
chamber as whole, concurs in the
position taken by the board of direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States.
