Bulletin Refers to Terrorism Of
 City Government"

Two attempts to organize the un- employed at city hall having failed, plans are being made for q mass meeting. Friday evening. February :. at Ukrainian hall at which, it Is announced, an effort will be made to unite workers in support Of the following program:-
 Abolition Of child labor; no cvic- ton Of unemployed workers for non payment ot rent: use of municipal buildings as shelter for workers without homes; special taxation Of corporations and large incomes for unemployment relief: workers government; abolition oc speed up;' scven-hour day and five-day week.
 A few weeks ago, two representa- tiNes of the Communist league har- anGucd as group of several hundred iobless men in city hall. urging them to a more militant demand for W.rk control Of industry and the govern mcnt, and for return of inc profits on the fruits of their labor. The meeting broke up when the ire or the crowd was raised by criticism Of the United government, and the speakers left the building to avoid violence.
 Saturday morning, John Vincent of the Trade Union Unity league came here in an effort 10 organize the job seekers and was promptly taken to headquarters hy Policeman Delbcrt Ncley. There he was advis- cd of the limitations allowed and warned that no oVcrstcpping Of bounds would be permitted. Follow ing his release, the following state mcnt was issued by him
 "Dcspitc the efforts of the bosses and their city government 10 inter- fcrc with the efforts of inc Nradc Union Unity league in it's attempt 10 organize the unemployed and fight for unemployment relief, we will go ahead with our organization work. The terrorism the city government has launched against us by the ar rest of our representative will hu. serve 10 expose the city adminstra- tion as the handmaid Of the mauu- facturcrs. As one of the mayors secretaries put it: The mayor called together all the manufacturers and employment agents, to discuss how to relieve the unemployment SitUa- ton, but they told him, That's your hard luck"
 The workers can understand that when the mayor calls together the manufacturers, it is not to discuss the problems of the workers but how to increase the profits of the mamI- lecturers by moro speed and lay offs.
 The workers enthusiastically re- ccivcd our representative and our program of unemployment relief. lt was this enthusiastic response of the workers that scared the EosS's gov ernment at city hall so that they called the policc.'

 The Mayans, on the ether hand, have a detailed history extending back, probably to the beginning of the Christian era. Their empire dourished far to the south of the Aztec realm, in the Yucatan penin- sula and to the south. and was Of much higher order. They built eA !. tensivc cites cf cut stone, main tained paved highways. had an amazingly accurate calendar and q system of writing which has becn partially dcciphcred by modern scholars.

Political Patronage Charge Soon
 Brings Stern Denial From Hoover

Washington, Jan. 2 P}-A stern Iy Worded denial came quickly from the White House last night after Jouett Shousc chairman of the democratic national executive con- mittee, had charged President Hoover with compiling information on government employees for the purpose of bringing patronage in- fluence to bear against rccalcitrant members of congress.
 Such phrases as democratic pro- paganda bureau' and mot an item of truth nor basis of fact" were mingled in the reply of the White House, issued through Walter New ton, one of ,Mr, Hoover's sccrc- tarics.
 The democratic statement said that Mr. Hoover had sent cards to all departments Ito be filled out by every cmploye giving d full picture of the history of his employment This, he said, was difficult to cX- plain on any non- political hypothc- sis"

Nrcckagc Found


 Seattle, Jan. v (P>-Half the mys- tery of the disappearance on No- vembcr Of Carl Bon Eiclson and Earl Borland was solved today with discovery of their wrecked plane in an icy lagoon 90-milcs southeast of North Cape, Siberia, The bodies of the two aviators were not found in the WrcckaGc and the fact kept alive bare hope that they may still be alive.
 The note of optimism was cx- trcmcly faint, however, as cXpcri- cnced flcrs said they believed the plane struck with such force as to kill the aviators and throw them from the ship. It was pointed out that snow might have concealed the bodies from Pilots Joe Crosson and Harold Gillian, who found the wreck Saturday.
 Crosson and Gillian took off again yesterday from the fur trading ship Nanuk, icebound at North Cape, for the scene of the wreck. Eielson and Borland were attempting a flight from Alaska to the Nanuk when they crashed. They had removed one load of passengers and furs and were re- turning for q second.
 Dog Teams Used
 With CroSSan and Gillian were a representative of the Russian Trad ing company and sailor from the Nanuk, owned by the Swenson Trad : ing company. Dog teams preceded the plane and will join in search for the missing flicrs.
 Crosson first 10 sight the Eielson plane signalled 10 Gillian and the two fliers brought their machines down near the wreck.
 The condition of the plane. Cros- son said, indicated that both it's oc- cupants were killed in the landing, but he and Gillian were unable in trace Of the bodies.
 One wing of the Eiclson -Borland plane was crumplcd in landing, while tho motor was torn out of the craft and was found 100 feet from the fusclagc. The tail was broken.
 Those who were on route 10 the wreck were to clear away the snow and make a thorough search for the bodies of the missing men. Because Of sloWncss of communications at this season of the year in the north it was not expected that the men engaged in the search would be able to report their progress for some time.
 Parents still Hopeful
 Only the parents Of Borland, among relatives of the two airmcn, appeared to retain hope that the ari- ators may have escaped alive. Ab- sence of skis from the plane and the fact that the two were reported to have been equipped with para chutes was the principal basis for their hope.
 Provisions in the plane were un- touched, circumstance which ap- parently confirmed the belief that Borland and Eielson were killed.
 First news of discovery of the plane WAS received in radio mes sage to the Seattle Times yesterday from Marion SWenSon, l1-year-old daughter of Olaf SWenson, owner or the Nanuk and head of the tradln6 company which bears his name. MISS Swcnson, a Seattle high school stu dent, has been marooncd on the Nanuk, the only woman aboard since early last autumn.
 The two-month search for Eielson and Borland, both experienced Arc tic aviators, has been an epic of hcroism and patience under the most adverse weather at the command oi the northland.
 Plane Turned Back
 When the two took off from Nome, Alaska, for the Nanuk they

were accompanied in another plane by Frank Dorbandt. Dorbandt turn- ed back to Teller, Alaska. when vis- ibility became poor, but Eielson flew on into the storm.
 It was nine days before Dorbandt was able to get into the air again and poor visibility then kept him from reaching the Nanuk.
 Little fear was felt for the miss ing fliers immediately, for they car ried ample provisions. gasoline steve and clothing and emergency shelters designed to withstand Arc tic temperatures. Dog team drivers and natives searched the country around the Nanuk but it was Dcccm- Der l9 before Crosson and Gillian flew to North Cape to join the hunt.
 A dozen other planes gathered at Nome and Teller to aid in the search but were defeated in their object by the weather and accidents. During their attempts to reach Siberia, Cap tain Pat Reid, Canadian pilot, and Mechanics William Hughes and Jim Hutchinson were forced down in a severe snowstorm near Norton Sound, Alaska. Almost q week Of de lay in the search for Eielson and Borland was occasioned while planes secured the country for the Cana dans The three arrived at Jnalal- feet after making emergency repairs to a damaged wing.
 Russia Aids in Hunt
 Russian trappers and avldtors were ordered to aid in the search by the Soviet government, upon unof- ficial appeal from Washington, but they also were hampered by the sc we're Siberian storms.
 Eielson was noted for his work with aerial exploration expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic. He piloted the plane of Sir Hubert Will kins on it's l,00O-mile flight over the top of the world and on his flights across the southern ice cap.
