LONDON, Jan. Is n.N.s).The
British Colonial Office has instructed
its representatives in Iraq to make
every possible effort to apprehend
the Wahabi tribesmen responsible
for the murder OF the Rev. Henry
A. BiIkerd, an American missionary.
1t was announced today.
CoIonial-office officials believe that
Iraq's recent action in breaking off
relations with Great Britain has
prompted acts OF violence by the
Wahabis.
The colonial office maintains that,
while Great Britain exercises
mandate over Iraq. the murder took
place in territory over which the
Government Of the kingdom Of
Iraq is responsible.
It was stated by colonial office
authorities that they were doing
everything possible"

which have done so much for our in

For example. up in Alaska I discov-
cred that a group of Navy aviators are
making an aerial Photographic mosaic
map of Alaska for the Department of
Agriculture and the Department Of In
terror. This map has already more
than justified what it Is costing. 1t
has discovered two lakes in Alaska the
very existence of which had not here
tofore been even suspected. Both of these
lakes have great hydroelectric pow
er development possibilities. More than
that, this Photographic mosaic map Of
Alaska has revolutionized timber cruis-
ing methods. The photographs made
from the air are so clear and distinct
that the individual trees can be identi-
fed. Bankers have told me that on

FORESTRY SERVICE
FEARS DISASTER
Fires in Idaho and Montana
Said to Be Worst
in 10 Years.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The forest-fire situation in Montana
and Idaho was regarded today by the
forest service as verging on disaster.
The district forester at Missoula,
Mont, reported today that fires in
Northern Idaho and Southern Montana
were the worst in 10 years and that con-
hope for control except in rains.
Weather reports, forestry officials said.
indicated but little relief from this
source within the immediate future.
Fires on the Kankisu, Pend Oreille.
Selway, Blackfeet, F1athead and Lewis
and Clark National Forests were spread
ing rapidly, the report said, with a
strong gale blowing the flames along
in the face Of the combined efforts of
400 firefighters.
One fire alone, the forester advised,
present was covering approximately U.s.
900 acres. New fires on the Bitterroot,
Lolo and Adbaroka have spread to a
large size In a short time.
Offsetting the ominous reports from
Idaho Montana region were reports
from Portland. Greg, saying that the
situation in Oregon and Washington had
improved. Encouraging reports also
had been received from sections of Cali
fornia where large fires have been
burning.
In the three bad fire districts. the
forest service reported, nearly $500. 900
has been spent in fighting fire during
the past 10 days, and nearly $1,000. 900
since July l. Fire-control forces have
been strained to the utmost in having
to fight more than 5000 separate fires

Patrclmen captured an alien and two
boatmen as they landed within three
miles of the City Hall recently. The for
eigner admitted to Mr.. Zurbrick that a
representative of the smuggling ring
had approached him in Innsbruck, Aus
tria, several months ago.
He said he was brought into Canada
as an agricultural laborer, but that he
came direct to Windsor. After paying
his fare he was loaded into a rowboat
equipped with runners for crossing ice
foes. The alien was deported and the
boatsmen have been sent to Leaven-

natives of CzechoSlovakia, where the
smuggling rings are said to be strongly
represented.

sometimes sent to his death by the
