COLOR QUESTION BOTHERS
BOARDS, NOT UNCLE SAM
So far as Uncle Sam and the
Selective Service Act are con
cerned there are only two races
— white and Negro, for draft
classification purposes.
Radiograms to this effect were
setn to draft boards throughout
the Territory, many of which
had been confused by the termin
ology of the Territory's first
draft quota specifications, which
, called only for "whites,” Judson
L. Brown, Territorial procure
ment officer for the Selective Ser
I vice Board, said:
Indians, Eskimos, Orientals
| and all other persons who are
not Negroes are classified as
“whites” by the Selective Ser
vice Act Judson explained. Many
local boards misunderstood the
classification and inquired why
members of other races should
not be called.
WEATHER FORCAST
Increasing S. E. winds reach
, ing velocities of 30-35 m ph. Ber
ing Sea expected to become some
what more turblent particularly
in the vicinity of Nome. Cloudy
and continued rain. Not much
change in temperature tonight.

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 22 (News
Miner) — A radio message from
Tetlin, 200 miles southeasterly
from Fairbanks reports that Miss
T ucille Wright, nurse for the U.
S. Indian Bureau Service, disap
| peared in that vicinity Monday
afternoon during a terrific snow
storm. She bad been to the
Boundary airfield and was re
turning to her temporary head
quarter- at Moose Creek.
A search was conducted thru
[ out the night and was still in
progress yesterday but no tracks
or other clues to her where
abouts were found. It is under
stood that some freighter planes
carrying supplies from fields are
in the vicinity. U. S. Marshal
Joe McDonald, here, is planning
to send one or more planes from
here but a thick snowstorm is
keeping all planes grounded to
day.
Miss Wright is a World War
veteran nurse.
Miss Wright was located at
Nome some seven years ago in
the capacity of traveling nurse
for the Indian Bureau. From
Nome she was sent to Kotzebue
in the same capacity.
