The NAACP took issue with a
vicious article in the National Real
Estate Journal, August, 1914, which
was written by George Miller, pres
ident OF Miller Homes, Detroit. The
article stated that Detroit is
the hot-bed OF communism" It ac-
cused the activity Of the FPHA Of
being communiStic in attempting TO
build Negro housing in areas where
such housing was unwanted. The
NAACP letter was written by Clos

Miller further declared I'VE who

Charging the building and real
estate ftaternities with the respon-
slbllity of carrying the torch in the
solution OF the Negro problem,
Miller insulted the Negro race by
saying the Negro. more than any

all sounded good too; but then we in Alaska think that there is nothing as wild free, forlorn somewhat sad and dreary, per- haps soul rendering as the howl of the sled dogs, whether he be malemute' or husky, half wolf or half coyote, there is something about the sleigh dog that gives one the feeling of the sLure of the North-the Call of the Wild.
 Yes, and the prospectors, in their black Stetson hats, rough checked shirts, stagged-off Sagi- naw pants and Cippewa boots, and the trappers with their par kas, mukluks or unconscious, many of them squaw men or "klootch" men, give this fair land the color, the power, the rush and crash of the real frontier.
 The. squawmen have done more to bring the white mans civili- zation into the backwoods than all the missionaries, soldiers, po- lice or bootleggers put together. He is the ambassador between hte two races.

cookers or rat terriers, become the common dog of our towns. What tourist would want to see such a band of mongrels when he had been reading about the fierce Alaska sleigh dogs. Look ing around he would see none.
 And the Alaskans themselves dressed as people in Seattle, Omaha or Milwaukee. We of Alaska should do as the people of the western states do. They put on Frontier Days, Round-ups, Stampedes or Rodeos to keep the spirit of the West.
 Why should we not keep the spirit of the North alive for after the war we will have to settle down to mining, logging, fishing and the tourist trade once more.

WHERE THE SLEIGH
 DOGS HOWL
By George Jennings Gale

Once friend told me that the sweetest music of his boyhood was the byaing of pack of 'beagles on a cold frosty morning back in good old Ohio. While another claimed that the music
The Nome nugget., 1944-12-04

of his soul was the sound of the coon hounds on a hot trail way up in the Great Smoky Moun- tains of eastern Tennessee, while sitting around the camp fire, fry ing side meat and listening to the long, lanky mountaineers with their long muzzle-loading rifles, home-spun clothes and rugged cowhide boots all went to make up the local color of the moun- tains.
 I listened to these men and it

berserk. Perhaps the god Of jewels-if
there is such a deity-wanted TO make
amends for his earlier mistake.
If so, he acted with. the caprice
typical of lesser immortals, for his
next gift had this strange property:
though ii assured its wearer of the
appearance and spirit of youth-long
beyond the allotted time of both-it
proved to be barrier to welded bliss.
Love she could have, in abundance;
marriage to her loved one-never. Or
so ii appears from the lives of the
necklaces three most distinguished
owners.
Ninon de Lenclos, who inspired so
many famous French men Of letters

that she might have been a Muse,
was the first. Hers was beauty of
such extraordinary durability that in
her late SOS she was still attracting
admirers.
But the courtier, who had had the
Woodworking pearls strung for her
and was the only man she ever really
wanted to wed, was killed in duel.
Her legatees sold the necklace,
which, after the French Revolution,
was purchased by Lord Nelson After
adding to it a second, matching row
of pearls, he presented the result, as
a royal gift, to his great love, Lady
Hamilton. Though the battle of Ira
falgar effectually prevented their
marriage, her beauty, like Ninon's,
fingered on long after the tragedy.
The Countess de Salverte's expert
ence has duplicated the experiences
of her eminent predecessors. In her
seventies now, she is still strikingly
beautiful. But she never managed TO
marry the man who gave her the
necklace and whom she loved above
all others.
He was the Duke of Orleans. After
years of unhappy marriage to the
III liz
was finally able to arrange for an
annulment. Three days before il was
granted he died.
Meanwhile, the other necklace had
been keeping up its ominouS per-
Torrance, though not so spectacularly
as under Louis XIV and his son.
Working down through the years, it
has helped to blight the careers of
three queens, Marie Antoinette and
the wives of Charles X and Louis
Philippe.
After whirl with the mistresses of
Prince Antonio de Bourbon Orleans,
to whom ii had been entrusted by his
kinsman, the King of Spain, il landed
ANONYMOUSLY in a Paris pawnshop.
Baron Maurice de RothSchild res
cued it from there and was rewarded
with the loss of about 350,OO0,OO0
francs in property, confiscated when
he quit France.
II is impossible, of course, to pre-
dict how the necklaces will behave in
this country.
Maybe the powers attributed to
them are exhausted by this time. Or
maybe they will finally get together
and cancel each other out.

The Pacific Area

WASHINGTON. - Cru m mn N
AVENCER torpedo bombers and
WILDCAT fighter planes, which
are union made are widening their
scope of operations in the war
against the Axis. Recently these
union made planes played an inn
portant part in the sinking of a
German U-boat, the Navy Depart
ment has announced.
The underseas raider was first
sighted by the pilot of an AVENGER.
The submarine was surfaced at the
time but submerged before it could
be attacked. Other planes from the
carrier and destroyers of the Atlantic
convoy task force were summoned to
the scene and the chase was on that
ended in the destruction of the u
boat u hours later. Over 200 depth
charges we're dropped during the
fight.
A destroyer established contact
with the undersea craft a few hours
later and damaged it with a depth

charge but the elusive sub again
got away. WILDCATS again sighted
the U-bOat, which submerged be-
fore it could be attacked. De-
strOyers were brought to the scene
but the sub had escaped.
The next morning an AVENGER
spotted moving oil slick and sum-
moned destroyers. A depth charge at
tack was launched in the area, and
the sub was blasted to the surface.
AVENGERS and WILDCATS came
in for the kill, strafng the disabled
U-boat while destroyers poured shells
into the sinking craft. A few minutes
later the German raider settled be-
meath the waves of the Atlantic.
AVENGERS and WILDCATS, &C.
cOrding to the Navy, are playing an
important part in the war against
submarines in the Atlantic, operat-
ing from escort carriers, while
other union built AVENGERS and
WILDCATS are engaged in knock
ing Jap planes from the skies in

CONNECTICUT FEDERATION
SUPPORTS SUBSIDIES

The Connecticut Federation of
Labor is overwhelmingly in favor
of subsidies, and our delegation
i'm the House of Representatives
knows it.
Anyone who says that the State
Federation is opposed to subsidies
is guilty of misrepresentation, and
does not speak for Connecticut la
Dor.
Resolutions determine the pol
lev of the State Federation, and
here is the resolution unanimously
passed at the last convention of
the Connecticut Federation of La
Dor:
ssResoIved, that the Connecticut
Federation of Labor heartily en-
dorses the action of the executive
council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which issued
warning that prices must be rolled
back through subsidies, otherwise
labor will insist that the Little
Steel Formula be done away with.
The Executive Council has point
ed out that food prices have ad-
vanced from 500 TO 2OO%o, while
workers wages are frozen; and
the Council has voted its support
of the plan for subsidies in order
to roll back prices and avoid in
fiation. President William Green,
serving as spokesman for organ
lied labor, has served warning on
the nation that rollback must be
accomplished in the near future.
ssBe 1t Therefore Resolved,
That this Convention of the Con-
necticut Federation of Labor here
by endorses the American Fedora
ton of Labor's campaign for the
rollback of prices through subsi-
dies: and that the State Fedora
tion's delegate to the national con-
vention of the American Fedora
ton of Labor is hereby instructed
to work and vote for this plan if il
is presented to the national con-
ventiOn by the executive council
of the ALL.

TRANSMISSION of poisoned
news to our fighters overseas drew
an attack this week from John
Chamberlain, author and column
list. who, though he is on the staff
of the New York "Times," differs
sharply with that papers bitter
anti-labor policy.
1.-THE boys in the foxholes have
supposedly gotten the idea that
the people back home are :
quitting work or striking whenever
they please he said. s'But if this
idea has reached Naples, Algiers,
and New Guinea, how did it get
there? Why are the soldiers being
fed such SANDER? Why aren't they
getting the whole truth?
ssThe fact is our war production
has been fantastic; it has pumped
war material to the ends of the
earth as fast as we could build
ships to carry it; it has resulted in
a surplus of aluminium, steel, cop
per and whatnot. y The rank
and file of labor have, with few
exceptions, been backing the at
tack ever since Pearl Harbor."
1.-THE only thing needed to
bridge the gap between the SOL
der and civilian worlds are just
policies i'm Washington, includ-
ing a just news policy that will
result in truthful reporting of
home front affairs to the boys
in foxhOles."
Topmost 'sbrass hats" have them
selves been at least partly respOn-
sible for the falsehoods sent to
soldiers overseas. One of the lead
ing offenders has been Secretary
of War Henry L. StimsOn, who, i'm

caused $4,000 man-day losses in

pie about the thousands upon
