OPA Relaxes Rule On Selling Autos
SPECIAL TYPES AVAILABLE
WASHINGTON — Regulations, under which 1 per
cent of the new passenger cars now held in a govern
ment pool as the result of Rationing Order No. 2-A
may be released for general sale under restrictions,
were issued by the Office of Price Administration.
The pool is made up of new cars which were not
shipped by the manufacturers prior to Jan. 16 to an
agency other than one controlled by the maker.
The cars affected by the amendment are those which
the OPA may determine will not serve the purposes
for which the pool was created. The amendment also
provides for the removal of pool stickers erroneously
attached to non-pool automobiles.
As a condition to release of a car from the pool, the
OPA may require the dealer or manufacturer to put
another new car into the pool as a substitute. Even
after an automobile is released, it still may not be sold
except to the holder of, a certificate issued by a local
rationing board.
Among the cars which the OPA will consider releas
ing from the pool under the new amendment are these:
1. Cars ordered on or before Jan. 1, 1942, by agen
cies of Federal, State, local or foreign governments or
by the American Red Cross.
2. Automobiles specially built, painted or equipped
on order of specific buyers.
3. Automobiles with list price above $2,000.
4. Automobiles manufactured priorto March 2, 1942,
for experimental purposes.
5. Automobiles which on or before Jan. 16 were in
the hands of or in transit to a manufacturer’s branch
engaged primarily in selling cars at retail, or were
consigned, invoiced or billed to an agency not con
trolled by the manufacturer.
6. Automobiles on which registration had been ef
fected or applied for prior to Jan. 1 and for which ra
tioning certificates were given under Rationing Order
No. 2.
Hearing On Coughlin’s Paper Set
WASHINGTON — Postmaster General Frank C.
Walker today ordered a hearing held to determine
whether or not “Social Justice,” a weekly newspaper,
founded in Royal Oak, Michigan, by the Rev. Charles
E. Coughlin should be barred from the mails for al
leged seditious statements.
Sixth Columnists
President Roosevelt, in a recent interview, came up
with a new label—sixth columnists. These, he elab
orated, were gossips and defeatists who spread rumors
planted by enemy agents—including newspapers and
newspapermen.
For a long time we have believed that there are
many newspapers in America which are abusing the
privilege of freedom of the press, sabotaging this na
tion’s war effort and morale. On the other hand, we
also believe that the American public is able to see
through these publications for what they are—with
the help of the loyal American press which we be
lieve forms the majority of American newspapers.
One of the most notorious abusers of a democratic
press is Father Charles Coughlin’s “Social Justice.”
January 5, almost a month after war was declared,
Coughlin’s paper said:
“Japan is almost barren of natural resources. Her
people are prolific. Is there not another law, mightier
than the ‘Atlantic Charter’ which permits a people to
expand to unused territories? Is it not true that ‘the
earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof?’ ”
Father Coughlin forgot to go into the details' of
slaughter and carnage through which the Japanese are
“expanding.” We also question that the Japanese are
exyanding to unused territories.
Then there is the “Crusading White Shirts,” pub
lished at Cattanooga, Tenn., by George W. Christians,
which said after Pearl Harbor: “Now we are to give
up our lives for the delusion of grandeur of a merci
less monster, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Some neck
—for a rope!”
There are other such sheets, all, we believe scorned
by the vast majority of the American people but nev
ertheless delighted in by our Abis enemies. Even to
suffer these obnoxious publications, however, even in
war times, is a cheap price to pay for the freedom of
the press.

CRAZY FOX ATTACKS
NOME DOGS; WOLVES
MENACE COUNTRY
A red fox, berserk with what
appeared to be a form of rabies,
made his home beneath Gus
Viera s house several days ago.
It attacked one of Gus’ half
grown pups several times. After
chasing it down to Rowe’s barn,
Gus shot it, then returned home
and shot the infected pup.
Gus is keeping his dogs chain
ed and under close observation
to watch developments. A dog
usually dies within two weeks
after being attacked by a mad
dog or wolf.
Three or four years ago, Igloo
Natives reported that foxes, froth
ng at the mouth and heedless
of danger, ocasionally attacked
their dogs at hunting camps. The
dogs invariably died. Frank
Whaley’s thoroughbred, wirehair
terror succumbed to a mad fox’s
bite several months ago.
Wolves have gotten infected
with this fatal malady. A mod
wolf attacked a native hunter
| just outside his tent near Nor
vik during January. A fierce
“fight to the death” ensued. The
hunter ripped his knife from his
belt and plunged it into the
beast’s s de repeatedly. The wolf
tore savagely at the man’s face,
throat and scalf, tearing the
scalp nearly off. This caused the
hunter to swoon, whereupon the
animai staggered down the trail
to be shot a short time later by
aonther hunter. The injured Na
tive was given “‘first aid” treat
ment by Margaret Swanson, com
petent Noorvik teacher, and is
now recovering after further
treatments at the Kotzebue hos
pital.
According to the Reindeer Ser
vice, wolves commenced enter
ing the coast reindeer ranges,
from Barrow to Cook’s Inlet, in
alarming numbers about 1938.
The Natives had gotten out of
the habit of herding the reindeer
constantly, as the animals had in
creased rapidly without, natural
! enemies. Reindeer owners were
helpless to meet the new wolf
menace. The Reindeer Service re
quested funds to stimulate con
stant herding, and urged that
the Bureau of Biological Survey
commence an effective predator
. control program.
In 1939, a small amount of mon
; ey was allotted to the Reindeer
! Service to stimulate reindeer
i herding. Herding programs are
| now organized on the Barrow,
j Wainwright, Point Hope, Kiv
alina, Noatak, Shungnak, Sela
wik, Escholtz Bay, Buckland,
Golovin, Unalakleet, St. Michael,
Akuluruk, Nelson Island, Nak
nek and Kwinhagak ranges.
Herding on the Igloo, Shishmaref
and Deering ranges is financed
by funds derived from shipping
cargoes of reindeer products to
the New York market. This year,
the Reindeer Service was allott
ed only $6790 to encourage herd
ing within the whole reindeer
country. By effecting savings in
other allotments ,it secured au
