AUST. 5CHILLlNG.
 HDEvALUED; RUN
 ON VIENNA STORES

VIENNA, Nov. 21.-tRL Some Venna stores barred their doors today as Austrians went on a last minute spending spree to get rid Of their schillings before the gov- ernment's devaluation of the schill- ing goes into effect.
 The manager of Kaufhaus Ger gross, largest department store in Vienna, said his shelves would be stripped within 48 hours. T can't afford to buy anything at the prices wholesalers are now asking, and I can't afford not tc sell at the prices people are offer. ing" he said.
 The new currency reform bill calling for a 66 percent devalua tion of all outstanding schillings was passed by parliament las night, 161 to 4, as an act agains blackmarketing. (The commercial exchange rate has been 9.86 to tn, dollar, which made the schillin, worth roughly 10 cents).

Eskimo Furs Beiier Than Gold Weather Combat (Ioihinq

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-tR- The Navy admitted today that the furs of the primitive Eskimo are still superior to Army and Navy cold weather combat cloth- ing.
 It. Comdr. James w. Hagggard of the Navy Supply Corps explain ed why at meeting of civilian scientists with naval research ex- perts:
 "1o keep warm, men must wear layers of cloth, and in so doing perspire at the least provocation. The Eskimos' clothing fits more loosely, allows for free circulation and provides maximum warmth ,
 Haggard said it obviously is i'm possible to produce enough furs to outfit an Army and Navy, so the Armed Services are workin, or substitutes.
 "The use of fibre glass and other plastics," he said, seems tc present some promise of success"

 Sub Aretit
Stefansson Claims Soviet Pioneering Could Be
 Matched by America

SEATTLE, Nov. 2l.--R-Soviet Union colonization of the Arctic and sub-Arctic has peopled that area of Russia with a population many times greater than Alaska, Vilhjalmur Stefansson, explorer and scientist, said today.
 One of their planned industrial towns completed during the war, he told an interviewer, has a population of 10000 persons, more than the permanent white popu- lation of Alaska.
 We could populate our own North if we could recover our pioneering spirit"
 The Soviet Union, instead oi making secret of its Polar ex- pansion, has widely publicized it in technical and scientific journals he said. He interprets it as colon- ization for it's own sake, to provide self-sustaining communities which will support more and more colon- ists.
 However, what the Soviets are doing in peacetime is also the best possible preparation for war time" he added.
 Visiting here to gather notes for his Encyclopedia Arctica" on which he is working, Stefansson said he found it comparatively simple te collect information he needs abou Soviet trends in the north.
 The Soviets mail us their scien tific publications and we translat, them" he said That's all ther is to it. Sometimes, there is ever an English summary following tn Russian text"
 His book, planned to run fiv, million words, will be the first O it's kind and should be completed by 1949, he said.
 Tt is hoped that it will answer any question that an intelligent person could ask about the Arc. tic or the sub-Arctic," he said.

 DEFENDERS BY AIR

FAIRBANKS. Alaska Nov. 2i- isolated Alaska air base supplied entirely by air, success fully withstood five-day attack" by an invasion force of Alaska com mand troops in the first large scale winter maneuvers ~of Exercise Yu- kon, base headquarters reported to- day.
 Temperatures dropped to 26 below zero during the activities at the Galena air field on the Yukon Riv- CT, 375 air miles from the Big Delta operating base.
 The 250 men of the 23rd Infan- try Regiment of the Second Divi- sion were under command of Capt Earl Acuff, wartime officer of the Alaska Scouts. They were trans ported to Galena by a 18th Air Force troop carrier group after an intelligence report" of an ap- preaching invasion force.
 Throughout the five day maneu- yer, which was watched by 10 ob- servers from the Army's Research and Development Board, the de- lenders of the air strip were sup piled by fleet of C-82 packet planes. The supply planes had to evado P-80 jet fighters to reach the Galena area.
 The Galena air field was an emer- gency stop-over point in wartime for lend-lease planes ferried to Si- beria by Russian pilots.
