MOSCOW, Nov. 18-P)-Soviet
geographers back from four years
exploration of the coolest place on
earth-the Yakutsk region in
Siberia-today reported vast gold
fields, precious s. ones and
valuable minerals were under the
frozen soil 1000 miles north of
Manchuria.
The explorers told strange tales
of the little known land where the
temperature dropped to "a degrees

Lowest ever recorded near the
earth's surface by Soviet observers
only to rise to 95 degrees above
zero in the same region during the
summer. BUT even the summer
heat thaws the earth only on the

Geographer Dimitri M. Kolosov
told the Moscow News that gold
fields along the Lena river, al

most important in the world, arc
capable Of great expansion. Min

ILLINOIS PHONE
GIRLS TO STRIKE

CHICAGO, Nov. .18-W.R)-Ap
proximately $500 telephone opera
tors of the Illinois Bell Telephone
Company will strike at a. M, TO-
morrow in demand for increased
wages, E. R. Hackett, union at
torney, announced tonight.
The strike, involving women
only, was called for tomorrow
after a breakdown of negotiations
between the company and the IL
linois Telephone and Traffic OPP
orators Union.
Hackett said the strike would
cripple telephone communications
throughout Illinois and in Lake ano
Porter counties, Indiana, and at
feet long distance calls IN many
sections of the country.
He said Ernest Weaver, regional
director of the National Fedora
ton of Telephone Workers, had
sent kilograms to affiliates in Al
cities requesting that they not
accept long distance calls from
Illinois Bell telephone. These at
filiates, he said, are located in
such cities as Cleveland, Detroit,
st. Louis, Washington and Balti'
mroe. New York City would not
be affected, he asid.
Hackett said telephone service
within Chicago would not be af-
fected directly. However, he said.
his union will picket Chicago ex'
changes, increasing picket strength
every four hours, and that the
union expected Chicago telephone
employees would sympathize with
its strike. All suburban calls from
Chicago and long distance calls in
Illinois will be affected, he said.
One hundred and sixteen COM
munities in Illinois will be in
volved.
Mediation attempts by the U. S
Cancellation Service failed last
night. The Cancellation Service
stepped into the picture after Bel
Telephone employees had voted D.,

1916 TURKEY SUPPLY
SHOULD GIVE NATION
5POUNDS PER CAPITA

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. -(P)-
Turkey available at Thanksgiving
should add up to five pounds for
everybody in the nation, not count
ing stuffing and gravy, Secretary
of Agriculture Anderson said to-
day.
The turkey crop, he explained
during a broadcast NBC), is u
per cent above last year and the
Army and Navy are not taking as
many as expected.
AS for the general fod situation,
he stressed these four points:
1.-The United States has suf-
ficient food to feed its people ade-
quately, and still can help take the
edge off of starvation in iberat'
ed countries.
1.-THE United States is making
the largest single contribution to-
wards supplementing the food sup
plies of members of the United
Nations but we are not doing the
whole job Other countries are help
ing out.
3.-"By far the largest part OF
the food we are now sending abroad
is going to nations who are paying
for it.
4.-"The United States and its
Allies made the greatest sacrifice
of lives in all history to keep thei1
freedom and to win the opportunity
for a lasting peace. American food
by helping to rout hunger and un
rest, can be one of the most power
full forces in the world for clinching
that great victory into a lasting
peace"
