The Picking man, found in Pleis- tocene caves of China, and from whom this pioneer stock may have sprung, almost certainly existed a quarter of million years ago. This ties in with the prevailing suppoSition that the first Ameri- can was a Mongoloid invader.
 Even this has been disputed, trough not too successfully, be- cause the published theory that America originated it's own hu- man life seems to have died with the author of it. This student took us down to the other end of the Americas for his proof, contending that human life sprang from hte pampas of Patagonia. While this idea appears to have supporters at the present time, nevertheless there is belief that some of the humans found in the lower Argen- tine might date back to the Pleis- tocene.
 It's all very confusing to the layman and may not be so clear even to the experts, but in so far as the records show, no human skeletal remains have been found in American Pleistocene deposits.
 We can go a step further: no anthropoid ape fossil has been found here. That is why Alaska's vast deposits of frozen muck are important. Not only may now un- known species of animals come to light, but there is always the pos sibility that the red letter day will arrive when Americas number one citizen may be found resting in his icy shroud.

are the mammoths, maStodons and the giant elk moose, and with them they took the fierce smilodon, or saber-tooth tiger, and the carrion- eating dire wolf.
 Did man live here when all this was going on?
 We'll, they though they had the answer to that one when the skull of a mammoth calf was brought HUNTING-3 ............ ............ ,........ out of the ice at Fairbanks with an object like a jadeite axhead lodged in the lower jawbone. Ii was finally concluded that no hu- man hand had delivered the lethal blow, that the young mammoth had instead fallen onto a ledge.
 But this was negative evidence; it didn't prove anything. The search still goes on, based on in- teresting, if conflicting, theories.
 One eminent anthropologist de- nies the existence of the Ice Age man in America, holding firmly to the tenet that the forefathers of all our native tribes came across to us from Asia by way of the Aleutians at a much later date using the islands as stepping stones from one hemisphere to the other. This top-ranking authority has an imposing collection of Aleut num- mics and low-browed skulls to back up his contentious. He's a hard man to argue with. But it cannot be denied that there have been persistent reports of Ameri- can Indian culture fully as early as the Aleutian migration.
 They're still searching for the mysterious Folsom man whose dis tinctive weapons and other arti- facts were found in New Mexico. These have given rise to another theory: namely, that immigration to Alaska from Siberia might have taken place anywhere from eight to twelve thousand years ago.

the miner swung his nozzle in an- other direction whenever he spot ted new creature showing up in the ice.
 Following this bit of co-opera- tion, no scientist ever had better equipment at his command for re- moval of overburden-such equip ment as thawing devices, scrapers and giant electric dredges with chains of buckets reaching a hun dred feet down into the earth.
 It took the incentive of gold to warrant such extensive equipment scientists are notoriously poor but at any rate the mounds of re- covered bones grew to astonishing proportions. They were hauled away by the truckloads.
 Not only bones, but bits and patches of hide, hair and tendons were recovered. Mammoths and regal bison were among the com moner types found, although it wasn't long before the antlers and skulls of giant elk-moose, caribou, musk oxen, horses and bears came to light.
 Then came mastodon, which is like mammoth but with differ ent type molars, -toothed tiger big as a grizzly bear with six-inch fangs used in stabbing it's prey to death, and an enormous cat that could chase any African lion off the weld. One of the queer est finds was the great dire wolf.
 Smaller animals were harder to pick up because they got lost in the silt, but enough parts were re- covered to show that this million years-old game field had it's full quota of foxes, lynxes, squirrels and other rodents.
 Life in the Alaska Pleistocene period was a strange blending of animal forms, some of them soon to succumb to the grim decree that only the fittest may survive. Gone

Hunting Ground
 Of l,OOO,OOO B C.
By FRANK DuFRESNE
Condensed from Golfers June 2, 1945, issue.

ooiiC e, iofo, iSouc.
 It was midsummer in the Arctic. The Eskimo Napauk and I had come a long way to visit this re- mote spot on the bleak shore line of Kotzebue Sound, in northwest ern Alaska.
 Just above the swirl of the surf, we had been exploring for teeth and bone fragments of Pleistocene creatures. The spreading horns of an extinct bovine had already been balanced across the Eskimo's kayak and padded out to the schooner.
 A fossilized molar the size and weight of cobblestone had been dug out of the sand, and I was prying at thighbone big as a small tree trunk, when Napauk's gaze suddenly riveted on a spot above the thudding water.
 "No use diggum any more," he said. Here comes a whole one"
 It looked just like that at first. It looked like a curiously deflated elephant in the very act of break ing through the walls of it's icy prison. Two enormous tusks of stovepipe diameter, curled back against themselves like giant fish hooks, hung suspended in the air.
 Part of huge skull was in sight. A poised foreleg gave the impression that this long-dead beast was probing cautiously for a foothold before taking another step.
 You caught your breath in the wonder of it! Here was a woody mammoth-something out of legend. It just didn't exist any more. It belonged to another age. Yet here it was, moving out into the sunlight of today.
 There wasn't much to be done about it. For one thing, we had no way of scaling the slippery white wall, and there was little we could accomplish if we succeeded in reaching the animal.
 We could only keep our rare discovery under observation dur ing the short summer; see it pro- ject farther out like mounted specimen on the mantelpiece as the ice melted away from it; watch it collapse gradually for lack of support, and see pieces of it come toppling into the sea. We gathered handfuls of long dark hair; picked up chunks with flesh and hide still attached to the bone.
 On the Alaska side of Bering Sea, the news of the discovery of Ice Age creatures filtered into Nome largely in the form of com plaints from the gold miners.
 To begin with, it was trouble enough to cut down through hundred feet of frozen muck in order to reach the gold-bearing gravels on bedrock. Streams of snow water gathered in ditches dug around the mountain slopes were led down into the valley through flexible canvas hose, and i shot through tapering nozzles to , thaw and wash away the overly , ing debris. But when the sluice ;

carry IucIIl lIOIIl tIle pllS. AIlu over the whole area was the pene- trating odor of decaying flesh thawed and shredded by the giant hydraulic nozzles.
 But it was in the Fairbanks re- zion that paleontologists really hit the packpot. Here in central Alas ka, gold mining was conducted on grand scale and by newly dis covered wrinkles that permitted extensive areas to be stripped of endless tons of muck and ice.
 It was here, far below the pres ent earth's surface, that one of the greatest game fields of all time was laid bare. The miners found a setting that obviously had swarmed with wild life. They found abundant remains not only of mammoths and bison, but also of horses and camels and giant cats.
 Contemporaneous with a long list of vanished species were prac- tically all of our existing forms. Both in numbers and variety, the Pleistocene life excelled anything left on the continent today.
 Only in the heart of darkest Af- rica may living man hope to see its equal. Actually, what we have in America today is only a rem nant of that which occurred before the glaciers moved down from the polar regions to blanket the top half of the New World.
 Not once, but probably four times, the ice advanced upon America. Originating in Canada, 1t reached roughly down to a line drawn from New York through Cincinnati to St. Louis, then it swung sharply northward to near the Canadian border and west to Seattle.
 Mountain valleys as far down as mid-California were covered. Greenland got such a heavy dose of glaciers that it hasn't recovered from the shock yet; geologically, it is still in the Ice Age.
 When did it all happen? Prob ably a million years ago, and it lasted to within twenty-five to eighty thousand years of the pres ent time.
 There are two reasons why Alaska is such a good hunting ground for long-dead animals, and why it may hold the key to many questions, including that puzzling one about when man first made his appearance in this country.
 In the first place, Alaska forms one end of land bridge that once connected America with Asia across Boring Strait.
 Another good reason why Ice Age fauna is so easy to find in Alaska is that excellent cold stor- age is provided in many, but not all, parts of the Territory.
 All you have to do on wide of the tundra to find solid ice is scrape away the matted roots of dwarf vegetation with your hands. There is your ice, nore than hundred feet thick, ,overing thousands of square miles

thing in this world is not so much
where we stand as in what direc-
ton we are moving.
Where we go wrong. in our own
lives, in Dur national lives, in our
everyday responsibilities is in not
trueing out actions to a high en-
ough motive. We act on experience
not on principle. We compromise
not with things, but with our own
beliefs. with Jul own conscience.
We dodge responsibilities, we ev-
ade issues and the truth eludes us
because of Ill own weaknesses.
Here's an example. We say that
one of the great principles in
American life is the denial of alb
solute sovereignty. Is it? Or, ra-
Their, is it put into effect? Just
try denying the absolute sover-
eighty in efficient organizations
and see how far you get. Did you
ever try not going along with the
boys?'
What we should have said was
that this is a motive power. and
then try to put it into practice.
All life proceeds from beliefs
of some kind. The question is not
shall we have beliefs? But what
beliefs have we? Are they a vital
part of our every day life? Are
we better for our beliefs? Do they

DEER FINDING
 FOOD PROBLEM
 TOUGH, REPORT

Reports brought back by the Fish ond Wildlife patrol vessel Grizzly Bear, indicate that feeding of deer this winter may soon become neces- sary in some areas of Southeast Alaska, due to the low-lying heavy snowfall.
 Capt. Sandy Mattson of the Griz- zly Bear reported sighting some scattered groups of very thin deer during a patrol just completed by his craft: though, deer in most places were still quite fat, it was added.
 It is reported that one trapper, believed to be operating on Admir- atty Island, had recently arrived in Juneau with tales of finding the carcasses of eight young deer, dead of starvation, along his trapline Game officials discount that report though conceding that feed is likely very scarce in higher reaches.

 fo33 10 MAKE NEW WEAPON OF ATTACK

TOKYO. Jan. 15.--Japan began, as early as 1883, experimenting with wind borne, bomb-carrying balloons to attack the United States, Allied headquarters announced today.
 The Japanese originally planned to release the balloons from submarines off the west coast of the American mainland, headquarters added, but by the time they became practical Japan lacked sufficient seapower to penetrate deep into the Eastern Pacific
 So homeland launching sites were used.
 Headquarters, in review of addi- tional information about the balloon said the record flight was made in January, 1945-across the ocean in l,38 days. It was recorded in Tokyo by radio signaling equipment car- ried by the balloon.
 The slowest trip required 3:09 days.
