GALLUP. n. NJ, Sept. 5
G.N.S.).-The missing T. A. 7.
liner City of San Francisco
was reported definitely To-
Gated in a group of cedar hills,
u miles west of Zuni Pueblo.
Air and ground searchers had
been diverted from more westerly
points to- that area which is As miles
southwest of here. according to
leaders of land posse.
Hope for Eight Slim
There is little hope among the
searchers that any of the five
passengers and her crew of three
men remaining on the plane are
still alive.
Zuni Indians Tuesday saw what
they described to c. H. Kelsey.
agent of the Zuni reservation, as
the air liner. flying low and ap.
parentiy in distress over the hills.
Planes In Search
Twenty-four searching planes
from Winslow, Ariz., flew over this
district early today. A number of
the planes had been redirected
southwark to search the new area.
Kelsey declared it improbable the
Indians had mistaken the air liner.
At the time the Zunis saw it. no
other ship but the T. A. T. plane
was known to be within many
miles of Gallup or Zuni, Kelsey
said.
Five hundred Zuni and Nava 10
tribesmen were ready to start a
new search.
Ambulances Sent
from here to Houck, Ariz.. late
yesterday on a report the air.liner
had been seen on the ground 10
miles north of there had been moved
to Zuni Pueblo this morning.
The City of San Francisco was
last definitely seen five miles west
of Fort Defiance. Ariz., at 11:45
a. m. Tuesday.
Fifty Miles Away
This is almost so miles nearly due
north of the place on the Arizona
New Mexico line, where the Zuni
Reservation search was in progress
today.
The terrific storm into which
Pilot Joe Stone had driven the air
liner apparently had thrust the ship
first north and then 40 miles south
of the regular r. A. T. airway,
paralleling the Santa Fe railroad.

learned that the defendant is
being closely watched by alien
lists for. the prosecution.
Three famous alientists have
had her under observation since the
fatal automobile crash in which Joe
Rokumoto. a japanese. was killed,
at the order of District Attorney
Fits.
The district attorneys office. 1t
was learned last night, ordered the
secret observation so that the State
may be prepared to thwart last
resort defense of the Pantages law
yers.
A possible defense, the State
fears. might be that Mrs. Pantages.
wife of the millionaire theater man.
who himself faces trial on the
charges of 17.year-old Eunice Prin-
gle, is in such a mental condition.

is not responsible for her actton-at

This mental condition, it Is ex-
pected to be contended IL necessary

to her physical condition and her
age.
Defense lawyers are ready to call
number of physicians to testify
not alone to her physical condition
but the, state of her mind, 1T has

in court yesterday that the defense
would revolve around the following
points:

the time of the crash, as the State
charges.
Was No Malice

part and that malice must be proved

JERUSALEM, Sept. n.N.sO.-
Portions of Palestine were again
reported in a state of bloody chaos
today as the result of renewed con.
flicts between Arabs and Jews in
widely separated sections of the
Holy Land.
Ihe peaceful respite of the last
few days was brought to a sudden
end when Moslems attacked the
Jewish colony of Kfar Tabor, at the
foot of Mount Tabor. A short while
later, Arab hordes were reported
active in the vicinity of GAIA.
British troops were rushed to both
places to quell the disturbances. A
full check-up of casualties has not
yet been made. but it Is reported
many Arabs were killed when the
British troops opened fire at GAIA.
The new attacks came almost stimuli
taneouSly with distribution in the
streets of Jerusalem of an infIam-
matory pamphlet, calling upon the
Moslems of the world TO rise up and
exterminate the Jews from the Holy
Land.
The proclamation, signed by a
committee which wants war" urged
Arabs to destroy Jewish houses and
other property and take all neces-
sary steps to drive the Hebrews out
Of Palestine.
While the new attacks are not so
serious as those which characterized
the outbreak of the Arab uprising,
a large number of casualties are re-
ported. British troops arrived dt

started, and more than a score OF
Arabs were moved down bv British

5 U.N.S.).-BefOre a jury
from the rank and file of the
provincial working class, the
State today sketched the assas-
Sination of Police Chief o. +.

1t was the States corpus delicSi
in its murder and conspiracy case
against Fred Erwin Beal, leader of
the Gastonia textile strike. and ms
is codefendants. The self-.ermah
"cIass war" prisoners are alleged
10 have conspired in the slaying Of
the chief in a police raid on Gas
tonia strike headquarters last June.
Doctor Comes First
The first of the prosecution's ist
of some $50 witnesses was DIR. n.
r. Mcconnell. Gastonia physician,
who had pronounced Aderholt dea a.
At this juncture the spectators
were brought TO attention when the
prosecution placed a wax figure al
Aderholt before the bench.
Defense attorneys were quick
with their objections and Judge
NJ. V. BarnhiH ordered the exhibit
removed.
Then the stained clothing Of Ader-
holt was held before DR.. Mcconnell
for him to identify.
The death of Aderholt, DR.. Nc
Connell declared, was produced by
Is wounds in the right chest. There
was not single shot wound on the
front of his chest" the witness said.
Strict Rule Expected
Early in the stage of evidence.
Judge M. v. Barnhill, is expected to
determine the course of the trial
with an ultimate ruling on the in
election OF communism and athesim
into the procedure.
Several preliminary rulings have
been interpreted to mean that he
will exclude all issues which he re-
CARDS as superfluous.
Yet so far-through the arraign-
ment at Gastonia and the week S

the case came on a change of venue

ism" have echoed through the ma
neuvers of counsel with such fire.

among the hundreds of spectators.
Jurors All. Young
That the defense anticipates such
Daytonian outburst has been
clearly indicated. During the jury
drawing completed yesterday 1t re
jected every venireman who pro
fessed the purported radical doctrines
of the defendants would bias his judg
ment of the evidence.
Because of its 1853 peremptoa'y
challenges. which was almost triple
the States number. the defense, as
Judge Barnhill pointed out in crisi
cizing the North Carolina jury sys
tenn was enabled to chose a Jury
which virtually met its own qualttl
cations.
The jury is composed of men under
40 and not a few just past voting
age. They look almost az youth1ul
as the defendants.

land.poor farmers. three tradesmen

No Spies Needed

If Mabel Walker willebrandt's shopping activities

the subject of governmental spying that ladys official
life will not have been lived in vain.
The whole Atlanta prison incident indefensible
Mrs. Willebrandt had federal court hold mock

about it and protested.
Congress plans to rebuke Mrs. Wiebrandt. But
when 1t has done that. its task only will be begun
Mrs. Willebrandt is among many such offenders
The hands of congress itself not clean in this
respect
Gradually, for years, a system of governmental es-
ponage has been built up in all departments of our

women on the government pay roll for the pur-
pose of shopping and sneaking and getting some
thing" somebody else. We have investigators and
inspectors Intelligence men" and plain clothes men,
undercover agents and a secret service
We have federal officials setting traps to catch

tray them as bootleggers worming their way into
social clubs establishing speakeases. We have under

on to acts just across the border of the law.
We have thousands of agents throughout the land

Rockefeller VS.. Stewart

Now that the government has failed to make
Colonel Robert w. Stewart pay for part in the
torious Continental Trading oil deal with Sinclair,
John D. Rockefeller Jr is trying again to salvage the
industrys reputation by getting rid of Stewart We
wish him luck.
Rockefeller has written his fellow stockholders in
the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, asking them
to join with him and others in preventing at the
next annual meeting the reelection of Stewart as
chairman.
Though Stewart last February, while under state
investigation promised Rockefeller to resign if the
stockholders desired it, he later deed Rockefeller and
reelection. 1t will be recalled that Stewart
acquitted by District of Columbia jury last Novem-
Der on acharge of perjury Before the Senate Teapot
Dome committee, despite the fact that he swore to
the committee that he did not profit from the Con-
tinental bonds, of which later found in his
possession.
Only heroic methods of self -purglng can re-
establish the oil industry in the confidence of the
American people 1t not do better than begin with
such offenders Sinclair and Stewart
