DOGS BEAT PLANE
AND SAVE VILLAGE

1t was stranded on top of a fence
in a snowdrift yesterday.
Although nearly all its food was
gone and a new snowstorm was add
ing to the difficulty of rescue work,
the sporting spirit still ran high in
Detour, while rescuerS sought to
reach the town.
All able bodied inhabitants gath
cred around one or another Of the
towns four radio sets and listened
to reports of progress Of reScuers.
Citizens wagered their last cans
of peas and beans on the airplane
or the dog team-the new or the
old. The stiffest poker game
Michigan lumber camp ever saw
had lower stakes than those precious
cans of food-until the dog team
arrived with more food.
Even now the village is far from
saved from privation. A hundred
pounds of supplies will not last
long. There was still hope, however,
that the airplane might get through
with more food, and more dog
teams, it was hoped, would attempt
to muSh in.

(By Telephone to the United press)

DETOUR, Mich, March 16-
Primitive transportation beat the
most modern of methods today in
the race to bring supplies to Detour,
isolated nearly three weeks by
snow drifts.
A dog team driven by DR.. John
F. Deadman arrived here early, with
100 pounds of food and medical
supplies. The village has been with
out medicine and almost without
food for days.
The dog team won an easy victory
over an army airplane which had
been en- route to Detour by easy
stages for two days.
A snowmobile, another modern We
hicles for combating snowdrifts,
also had failed to reach the village.

tributcd only $1,000 to the Re
publican committee between 1921
and 1924, although committee rec
ords showed $4,000 in contributions.
Miss Nellie O'Connor, secretary to
Percy B. Eckhart, who is in the
West Indies. said she could find no
records of any contribution by Eek
hart to the Republican committee,
although records showed a $1,000 in
1921, 1922 or 1928.
B. A. Eckhart, fatherf of Percy
B., bought $4,000 of the missing Lib
erty bonds, Miss Flora Johnson, his
secretary, testified Thursday.
Ralph Sollitt, assistant to Will
Hays in the 1920 campaign, said
he had no part in the drive to pay
the deficit left by that campaign.
L. E. Block, chairman of the
board Of the Inland Steel Company,
and Alfred Mulliken, manufacturer,
testified to donations and said they
received no securities in return. Both
insisted they knew nothing of the
Liberty bonds.
G. T. Davis, "confidentially asso-
ciated" with John w. Scott, de-
partment store executive, appeared
for Scott, who was i'll. He said Scott
had no records of compaign contri-

$1,000 in 1923 and 1924. He knew
nothing about Liberty bonds.

HID DONATIONS,
PR0BERS TOLD
Treasures of Democrats
and G. @. P. Reached
Understandings
BY C. C. NICOLET

CHICAGO, March 16-An un-
official understanding" between
treaSurers Of the Republican and
Democratic national committees not
to file reports of 1923 contributions
to their parties was revealed today
by two former secretaries to the late
Fred w. Upham, tes.itying before
the Senate Teapot Dome Committee
Both secretaries, Ira HipsIey and
A. v Leonard, testified before the
committee in Washington without
revealing the understanding.
Upham, then treasurer Of the Re
publican committee, ard Wilbur c.
Marsh, Democratic treasurer, were
good friends and often met in Chi
cago While both were laising funds
to pay off party deficits.
Contributors Testify
Marsh told Upham in 1928. it was
testified, that he did not believe the
law required a statement of cam
paign contributions in 1928 and that
since he expected large donations"
he did not want to make the records
public.
Upham thereupon also decided not
to file records for the year, the sec
rotary said.
It was in 1923 that Upham was
trying to get rid of 100000 in Lib
erty bonds which came from Harry
F. Sinclair.
More contributors to Republican
funds testified today to their gifts
in 1924, and denied receiving Lib
erty bonds in return.
The name of Col. Robert w.
Stewart, chairman of the beard of
the Standard Oil Company of Indi-
ana, was brought into the hearing.
William j. GiIkes, assistant cash
ier of the Continental National
Bank, submitted records of a spe-
cial account started by Stewart
during the vital years 1922, 1923
and 1924.
Stewards Name Brought In
Gilkes did not know of any de-
post by Stewart of 100000 in the
form of Liberty bonds to any &C
count III 1922 or 1924; nor, he said
did the bank records show any
sale of bonds by Stewart.

Hoover Assured of
Double Edged War
Sword by Senator's

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-With
the announcement that Senator
Swanson, democratic member of the
foreign relations committee, would
not urge any change in the Kellogg
pact to OUTLAW" war and the fact
that he was completely silent on the
cruiser bill, it is very probable that
both these measures, despite the
apparent contradiction b twe.e n
them, will be seen thru congress
without even weak opposition, and
will be useful imperialist instru-
ments for Hoover to grasp and
WELD before the world.
1t was at first suspected that
Swanson. who makes some preten-
sions at liberalism" would attempt
to make a reservation on the Mon
roe Doctrine in relation to the Kel-
lOgg pact, but even this impotent
threat has now been removed. The
15-cruiser bill is assured success by
recent agreement between SEN
ators Hale and Borah, who pledge
to support both measures and offer
no resistance to either.

What the government will do next

seems to be the intention of the

will keep the new militant union

fail, as the union is going ahead and

ATTACK AGAINST
MIN ERS' union
LONG PLOTTED
If Reactionaries Want
Fight, They'll Get 1t
(By a Worker Correspondent

(By q Worker Correspondent
PITTSBURGH, Pa. '(Bv MaiD -
The government in their attempt to
assist the operators and financial
powers of the Pittsburgh district
got setback when Judge McVick-
ers refused to Jail Comrade Dorothy
Ross, the bookkeeper in the Coal
Miner office, and Pat Toohey, ma
tional secretary of the National
Miners Union, on charge of con-
tempt of court, on the application
of Attorney Meyers and his two as
sistants, acting for the U. S. in the
Pittsburgh Federal Court.
Third Attempt.
This is the third attempt of the
financial interests to secure
the books of the National Miners
Relief. The first attempt was made
by a government inspector in the
post office here by the name of
Craighead, who raided the Pitts
burgh office of the relief, but was
baked by attorney Ellenbogen, act
ing for the National Miners Relief,
who went into court and had the
writ abrogated. Baked here, they
then went to Erie, Penn, and tried
to get the federal grand jury to
issue new writ, but on the applica-
ton CT attorney Ellenbogen, the
writ was again refused.
During the trial, this time, it was
brought out by attorney Ellenbogen
and Bonsall, the former acting for
the International Labor Defense,
and the latter for the Civil Liberties
Union, that the National Miners
Relief had closed its office in the
Pittsburgh district and had taken
its books and equipment out of
Pittsburgh to some point unknown,
but that an agreement had been en-
tered into with the National Miners
Union, to have one of its force take
care of the incoming mail and send
out receipts and bank the money
for the relief office, until the affairs
were completely liquidated. This of
course made the National Miners
Union only an agent of the relief
and it was only in this capacity that
the bookkeeper acted when she re-
ceived and opened the mail and
banked the money under orders from
Vincent Komenavich, who was the
treasurer of the National Miners
Relief.
Unsuccessful.
The attorneys for the United
States tried unsuccessfully to have
the court reverse the law of servant
