THE NOME NUGGET

At the first electrical exposition held in this city over forty years ago, Nikola Tesla maneuvered and blew up a model submarine in tank by radio. There soon followed a score of German, Am erican, English and French inventors who showed how engine-driven vehicles, torpedoes and ships could be steered by radio waves with never man on board. Both the British and American Navies ships under full steam in the same way and used them for target practice.
 Whether or not the new German bomber is as destructive as the Germans claim, it manifests a trend which goes back to the introduction of cannon. Ig- nite gunpowder and chemical energy is released The mechanization of war. therefore, begins with artillery. Every improvement in mechanical engineering has been applied in battle. Troops are carried to the front in trains Tractors have taken the place of horses, and steam engines the place of sails on battleships and cruisers. Now we have tanks, jeeps trucks, planes-all engine-driven so that battles are fought by machines as well as by men, And the machines have become more and more automatic until at last a stage has been reached when the crew less bomber, remotely controlleds can be launched against an enemy. Who knows but some day, if war is not abolished battles may be fought simply by more or less automatic machines?s
 We have not yet reached the stage of military and naval evolution, but we are not far from it when a battleship is re. duced to helplessness if turrets can no longer be turned or her steering-gear ia crippled or if Germany finds it impossi- ble to launch enough planes to ward off an attack on Berlin The writers of TO- mantle scientific fiction have been tell ing us for years that wars will be blood less because machines will do all the fighting, and the radio-controlled devices of the war lend some color to their fancieS.-(New York Times).

NATIVES BAG
 LARGE NUMBER OF WOLVES

The following reports on the killing of wolves in this section of the Territory have been pre- sented by the Nome office of the Wildlife Service.
 Sig Wien Northern Activities 1 103 wolves have been trapped and shot this winter by Shung- nak Natives, according to advices by Pilot Sig Wien. Nearly all were killed in the area between Kobuk and Colville rivers, where i great numbers of wolves are preying on caribou. These wolves could easily, in a single year, kill more caribou than the total shot by Alaska hunters.
 Wolves kill caribou and rein deer in three main ways: CD by outright killing, for sport and food; @ by constantly chasing the animals. which gradually starve from insufficient chance to feed; t3) by driving mothers away from their lawns during fawning season, which results in lawns starving.
 Reindeer are now being herded constantly on northern ranges, so wolves have left the herds to hunt caribou.
 Bill Munz Bags Another
 A large, black male wolf was shot yesterday by Bill Munz. 10 miles east of Pilgrim Springs. Munz landed and shot the animal with 30-30 carbine
 The grey wolf shot with buck shot by Grant Jackson Sunday was female, the second bagged by him this season. Grant handles shotgun expertly, and is fast learning the technique of staying ruining wolves from planes flying 80 miles per hour.
 A total of 13 wolves have been shot from planes piloted by Bill Munz this season.

 At present writing, the Repub- 1ican nominees are as follows: Grigsby holds the lead in the Second Division only, while Man. ders takes the other three Divi- sions to cinch the nomination for Delegate. Since there was no com petition on the ticket for other Territorial offices, except repre- sentative, here are the standings in that section for the Second Di- vision: Baker, Taylor, Bell, Bayne Seiffert, in the order named
 The Democratic ticket went little different: Thus we have Bartlett over Roden and Ziegler, for Delegate; Rivers wins over Drager; Smith easily takes it from Metcalf, but for Second Division representatives, there is a closer contest. Walsh, Porter and Ander- son lead the ticket, with Bess Cross taking fourth place on the ticket over w. E. Mcdonald by only one vote, with Madsen and Castel out of the running.

THE CREWLESS BOMBER

Like all the secret weapons of which we have heard since the outbreak of war, the radio-controlled bomber of the Germans turns out to be no secret at all. It is nothing but an enlargement of the German winged, radio-controlled rocket bomb described by Mir. Churchill last year Like other secret weapons it has not fulfilled expectations by reducing Allied military forces to helplessness.

usually brought back an opinion
of Just one segment of China: the

military man, the poorly equipped

She characterized the business

Hearty Applause

NEW YORK-The favorable re-
port on legislation for a permanent
FEPc, made yesterday by the
House Committee on Labor, was
applauded by the National Fedora
ton for Constitutional Liberties in
a statement today. This bi-parti-
san support of legislation to make
the FEPC a permanent agency is
an encouraging indication that both
major parties intend to fulfill their
election campaign pledges on this
issue to the nation" stated George
Marshall, Chairman of NFCL, to-
day. There is no question about
the overwhelming public support
for permanent FEPC," said Mr..
Marshall, "and the American peo-
pie now expect the House Rules
Committee to schedule this legis-
lation for immediate consideration,
debate and vote in the House"
In letters sent simultaneously to
House and Senate majority and
minority party leaders, the NFCL
urged that the legislation for a per-
manent FEPC which has made
steady forward progress in both
the Senate and House, now be
brought to vote without further de-
lay.
The NFCL has sent an appeal to
more than three thousand national
and community leaders to express
once again to Senator's and Con-
gressmen their support for passage
OF this legislation to make the
FEPC permanent.
