A' 1 I OAKLAND TRIBUNE, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 15, 1933 FANCY HELMETS NO HELP 0. S. SHIPS ID BE SENT HERE Famous Dog Driver Bucks Alaska Storm to Carry a Message to Santa Claus STATE LEGION 'HEAD ILL BE GUEST HERE the Arctic blizzard sweeps across the desolate plains. Think of him-As he sleeps, rolled in his blankets on the snow, hi husky dogs in a ring about hifn, and the Aurora Boreelis snapping and flaring in the night skies, where the big, cold star seem to come so close to earth. One feels that he can almost reach Out A hand and pluck them.

Let hope the blizzard Will soon blow itself out, so that our brave Eskimo messenger may proceed in safety toward his unknown goal. NO WORD EXPECTED It may be days and days before we receive further word from Iglulik, because his course is bearing him far to the east of the usual hinterland trails. There's one possible chance for a message, if not from him, at least about him. Strung outl along the hinterland fasTnfSSes aire severol lone trappers, whoseMrap lines swing in circles of 20 or 30 miles from their cabins. One of them may chance to come on Iglulik, or to cross his trail, as he makes the round of his trap lines and then the message may filter down through to Nome and finally reach Oakland.

Tuesday, with luck, our intrepid messenger will be well on his way toward the home of Santa Claus-if there really is a Santa Claus and it Iglulik can find where he lives. Watch this column tomorrow and Tuesday. If there's even a single word of new, we'll tell you all about it The steel-plumed helmets of "officers" of Khaki Shirt, self-styled Facist organization which desires to install President Roosevelt as a "dictator," didn't impress Philadelphia police, who raided their head quarters And seized gunl and ammunition. Art J. Smith (in center with cjuh), commander-ih-rhief, disappeared during the raids.

Other members, seeking th President, wfr prevented by police from entering A. P. photo. Iglullk has left to find Santa Claus. That's thej trilling news for East-bay boys arid girls today.

As The Tribune's special correspondent and his team of huskies disappeared In a jgray and stormy dawn out of Nome, Alaska, and headed northeast toward the interior. Iglulik, one of Alaska's most famed dog. drivers and' mushers. will buck hundreds of miles of lone trails on his mission to find Santa Claus, all because a little girl called Alice tnld The Tribune editor her chum didn't believe there really was a Santa Claus. The editor declared he'd settle the matter one way or the other by actually producing Santa Claus, his sled and his Alaskan reindeer, in broad daylight, for Eastbay boys And girls to see him with their very own eyes.

So on Friday the editor wired Iglulik. Eskimo dog-drivef, who is said to know every mile of the Alaskan hinterland. "Go and find Santa Claus." Reminds you of the famous message years ago to H. M. Stanley, "Go to Africa and find doesn't it? I'LL FIND HIM OR' Yesterday Iglulik wired.

"Leaving at dawn; I'll find Santa Claus or I won't come back alive." Today, long before Eastbay boys and girls were out of their snug blankets, Iglulik and his husky dogs were far beyond Nome, in the midst of the first whirling, lashing blizzard of the northern Winter. Without a word, Iglulik disappeared, but here's a press dispatch from Nome about him: "Nome, Alaska. "Ont of worst blizzard raging between Kugarok and Keewalln, on Hood Hope Ray. today staggered Nogarok, Eskimo mall driver, with his exhausted dogs, carrying seven sacks of mail from interior points. "Nogarok reported passing on the trail, Iklulik.

famed Eskimo mtisher, and his crack team, heading northeast. When Nogarok asked Iglulik why he was pointed far Into the desolate interior, and running into the teeth of the storm, Iglulik only laughed and said, "I am going to find Santa Claus for Eaatbay boyg and girls." "Nogarok told his slory to officials here, and begged that a fast dog team be sent nut to ratch Iglulik if possible, because he was sure his friend had gone crazy. Officials declared there wasn't a team In all Alaska could ratch up with Iglulik's dogs, and that he must take hs chance." Well, that's the big news for today, boys and girls. Somewhere in the desolate wastes our very own messenger to Santa Claus is pushing further and further toward his unknown goal. PROGRESS SLOW Even with his crack team, he can't, make more than twenty to thirty miles a day against that awful blizzard.

Thf whirling snow will be feet deep, and hell have to run ahead to "break trail" for his dogs. Think or him tonight, as you roll into your Warm beds, crouched over his tiny lamp, conking his supper of bacon and bannock as (Jhaillatix Will sBe Speaker At Metifi Tupsrlay in Veteran Memorial Hall Homer L.
