How will rellrl work be dona, by whom and under what financial arrangement? Some clue were aeen In the arrangement with the depart ment of agriculture whereby the American Red Croaa ran obtain aome aurplua fooda at about half the market coat. Government atepa to make loans on gruln callable on demund for any emergency, thereby giving It con trol over large supplies, also were cited, along with recent British purchases of 3U.000.0U0 buahela of Canadian wheat, enough for three months' nor mal aupply.

Tribal Ceremonies Install Kudanake As Alaskan Chief WRANCiKLL, Alaska, June 3 (U.P.i A 76-year-old Presbyterian became Chief Shake of the Wrangell Indian Tuesday as native drums throbbed under the tallest totem pole In Alaska. Elevation of aged and wrin kled Kudiinuke, titular head of the tribe since 1010, was wit nessed by hundreds from neigh boring clons. who arrived in war canoes bearing 30 braves each. White tourists came here In coast guard cutters, steamers and airplanes to view the age. old ritual. Abstains In contrast to his hard drink ing predecessors, who kept American and Russian settlers on edge, Kudanke abstains from liquor. Otherwiso Tuesday s ceremonies were much, the same a they were a century ago. Brave were clad in blanket hand-woven from mountain goat hair. Weird musk Jiid most of their paint-streaked faces as they re-enacted tribal dances and burial ceremonies. Younger Indians from British Columbia and southern Alaska competed in traditional nativo sports. Kudanake ascendancy would hove come sooner hod not the last chief's widow, Mory Shak.s, fought unceasingly to prevent his elevation. She died in 1037. Metronymic Under tribal customs, succes sion to the post of Chief Shakes 1 mutronymlc through the fe male side of the family rather than from eldest son to eldest son. Alary Shakes sought to abrogate this custom In favor of her son, George. The tribal elders, however. recognized Kudanake' rights as the ion of the lister of old Chief Shake. By remaining aloof from court battle over the chief property, and by paying tho chief funeral expenses In 1916, Kudanake made his as cendancy a matter of time. Special Invitations for the ceremonies were sent to Presi dent Roosevelt, Secretory of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and other federal officials. Kudan- ako pointed out that, the "white chief" made possible, at gov. crnmcnt cost, the reconstruction of the original Shakes home on Shakes Island. The president was represented by Territorlol Gov. Ernest Gruening. who heard the new chief pledge his tribe anew as "Americans, which we are proud to be." White men spoke at a feast given for 230 special guests. Kudanake will rule over 2000 Indians, members of the Tllngct tribe which covers a large area of southeastern Alaska. AWAY FROM IT ALL ATCHISON.
