Portuguese Revolt
Ends Bloodlessly
LISBON, Portugal, Oct. 11. (TP)
Portugal was reported calm today
after a short-lived bloodless sol
dier revolt in the north that led
the Salazar government to alert
troops and cut telephone commun
ications out of Lisbon.
A communique last night said
a regular army officer, a group of
f non-commissioned officers and 70
soldiers participating in the up
rising had surrendered without a
fight. It added “there is complete
calm throughout Portugal.”
Lisbon heard reports that a
young officer had dashed into a
cavalry barracks at Monte Pre
dralva near Oporto, some 175
miles north of the capital, and,
shouting for soldiers to join “a
march to glory to conquer free
dom,” had led four or five score
of them southward toward this
city.”
Republican guardsmen (mili
tarized police) stopped the march
ers near Coimbra, about 75 miles
south of Oporto and induced them
to give themselves up, the reports
said.
Meanwhile, however, the gov
ernment of Premier Dr. Antonio
de Oliveira Salazar, in power
since 1933, had ordered all troops
and police and the Portuguese le
gion of anti-Communist volunteers
to barracks and suspended com
munications of Lisbon with north
ern and southern Portugal and
foreign capitals.

quick.

REINDEER SERVICE
SHIPS SURPLUS DEER
Doug Johnson, superintendent
for the Reindeer Service who has
been busy for four and a half
months at Nunivak Island round
ing up and slaughtering the sur
plus deer returned Monday eve
ning on the Pan American.
Mr. Johnson states that there
are forty tons of Reindeer on the
North Star for the Nome market.
The SS. Square Knot took several
tons to the States and a capacity
load will be on the southbound
North Star for Aklutna, Sitka,
Wrangell Institute and the Juneau
hospital.
Early in July, Jack Connors of
the Wildlife Department flew over
the island for six hours and was
only able to see signs of about
2,000 deer and musk-ox. It was
felt that some disaster had oc
curred and the reindeer had been
lost, either by drifting out to sea
on the ice of possibly by starvation
due to lack of food.
However the round-up and ac
tual count revealed 12,000 deer on
the island.
Approximately 4,000 were pro
cessed for shipment and the hides
were salted and shipped to San
Francisco for processing.
When tanned the hides will be
returned to the Native Arts and
Crafts department, at Nome and
one hundred skins for St. Law
rence Island.
The Reindeer Service will have
for sale around 400 skins, suitable
for heavy parkas and sleeping
bags.
Many officials called on the is
land during the summer and in
cluded Alfred D. Edgar, agricul
tural engineer from Ft. Collins,
Coio., who studied soil samples,
lichens and sedges; D. A. Savage,
from the U. S. Range Station of
the Bureau of Plants Industry,
Woodward, Okla., interested in
animal diseases; I. M. C. Ander
I
san, from the Farm Security Ad
ministration from Anchorage, in
terested in the process of slaugh
tering; Dr. M. Lantis, of the Arc
tic Institute, Washington, D. C.,
who studied the Nunivak Eskimo
from a psychological stand; Don
C. Foster, general supervisor of
the Alaska Native Service and L.
C. Peters, director of Native Re
sources from Juneau.
Mr. Johnson stated that his de
partment is particularly inter
ested in seeing that Nunivak Is
land is not overgrazed, hence the
large quantity of deer killed this
year.

Emma Gelhiier (above) of Rich
