|EIELSON WRECKED
BY wind, IS BELIEF
Captain Olaf Swenson Gives
Version; Airmen Disagree,
However

Juneau. Alaska. Feb. 27.-R-Cap-
tain Olaf Swenson, head Of the Sven
son Fur Trading company. believes
the airplane crash in which Carl Ben
Eielson and Earl Borland lost their
lives while flying from Teller, Alaska,
to North Cape, Siberia, Nov. 9, last.
was caused by q gust of wind which
plunged the ship to the ground while
Eielson was attempting to make a
landing.
Airmen Tho have examined the
wreckage disagree with Captain
Swenson's version. The flyers said
Eielson evidently believed himself at
a safe altitude when his ship struck.
The altimeter registered 1000 feet
when found and the scattered wreck
age indicated to them that the ship
was travelling much faster than land
ing speed.
Captain Swenson said he believed
Eielson was trying to land and that
his ship was wrecked when a gust OF
wind caught q wing, forcing the
plane down.
Captain Swenson, who is en- route
to Seattle and his daughter, Marion
Seattle high school girl, were on the
i-e-bound fur trading vessel Nanuk
at North Cape at the time of tn, mis-
hap. Eielson and Borland were en-
route to the Nanuk when their plane
crashed. The Swensons recently flew
from North Cape to Fairbanks. They
boarded a ship at Seward.

Younger Rockefeller
Denies Father Takes
Initiative in Policies

New York, Feb. 27.-R-John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., today issued a state
ment denying reports that his faith
er was directing an "oil trade war;"
II must emphatically deny" he
said. "the statements that father has
again taken the initiative in debating
oil policies and that it was he who
directed standard (oil) interests to
order q cut in the price of Texas and
mid-continent crude oil.
Naturally my father continues to
be interested in anything pertaining
to the oil industry, to the develop
ment Of which he gave so many years
Of his early life. However, since his
retirement from business. more than
a quarter Of a century ago. he has
had nothing to do with the operation
or management of any oil company
o. other business, much less the de-
termination Of. oil policies whether
in relation to prices or anything else"
Neither my father nor l." Mr..
Rockefeller added, knew anything
about the recent cut in crude oil
prices until We read Of it in the public
press. The oil companies in which
we are interested are managed and
their business policies determined by
their officers and directors, and not
by their stockholders"

Toward Limitation
Remains Unchanged

Paris, Feb. 27.-R)-The attitude Of
the French government concerning
limitations Of naval ornaments Is I'M
changed and will remain so until a
new government comes into power,
naval circles learned today.
This attitude was made known fol-
lowing persistent reports from Lon
don and New York Of z combined
Anglo-American effort to reduce the
French tonnage demands. from some
724,0O0 to about 5000 tons.
Even should q new government be
formed eventually by parties Of the

that it will be impossible for It to
recede any from the figures laid down
in the original French naval memoir

FARMERS TO REPAIR.
ROADS This Spring
AS BAD SPOTS SHOW
Highway Department Adopts
a New Policy; Harrows Will
Smooth Rough Surfaces

Hundreds Of farmers living along
North Dakota's main highways, will
have an opportunity this spring to do
q little work for cash under a policy
announced here by Governor George
F. Shafer as chairman Of the state
highway department.
Anticipating trouble inkeeping roads
in passable condition until they dry
up later in the spring, 1t was decided
at a conference between the governor
and r. q. Plomascn, highway MAIN
tenance engineer. to ask farmers
along main roads to assist in the
work.
They will be asked to fill the bad
spots with new earth and to smooth
the surface by dragging a harrow over
1t. A harrow isn't the most effective
road maintaining machine but used
at the right time it may prove more
effective than q well designed grader
used at the wrong time. engineers
point out. At any rate the system
will be given a trial.
The cost will be paid from the de-
partment's maintenance budget and
there is a bare possibility that the
budget may have to be increased in
order to provide for this and other
unusual work which probably must be
done this spring.
Reports received at the highway de-
partment are that snowplows have
swept considerable metal from the
highways, metal being a general term
used to designate gravel or any other
kind of surfacing material.
In some places where snowplows
have been used the roads have be-
come bitches, since the snowwater
accumulates in the road. The passage
Of vehicles then mixes the gravel with
the earth in the grade and much OF
its efficiency as a surfacing material
is lost.
AS a result it is considered probable
that the department may have to do
more surfacing than originally was
planned. This would not only eat
up the maintenance fund and make
additional money necessary for that
purpose but would reduce the funds
available for new construction.

HAB|TUALC CRIMINAL
LAW FOUND PUZZLE
BY SUPREME court
Fargo Mans Appeal From Pro-
hibition Conviction Re-
veals Queer Proviso

Joe Malusky, former Fargoan, is
about to achieve a fame Of which
he never dreamed. Or maybe it is
just notoriety.
At any rate, Joe is about to get his
name in the lawbooks as the man on
whose behalf the supreme court in
terpreted one Of the most puzzling
sentences placed in North Dakota's
criminal law for many years.
The statute in question is North
Dakota,s habitual criminal law,
enacted at the 1927 legislative session.
It provides. in brief. that q criminal
thrice convicted of a felony may be
sentenced to the p~enitentiary for
twice the maximum term permitted
by law for the penalty of which he
was last convicted. II convicted of
four felonieS he may be sentenced to
prison for life.
That much is plain and the statute
provides the method to be followed in
determining whether a man has been
convicted more than once and per-
mits a separate trial on the habitual
charge. If that were all 1t would be
relatively simple.
But the legislature tackled on an
other and final section and this is the
n which is puzzling the supreme
court in Malusky's ase Or rather,
since the court doesn't advertise its
perplexities, it is assumed to be puz-
cling the court. The section reads:
The question Is what felonies, II
any, do not involve moral t~urpitude,
and the supreme court Is expected to
examine closely into the apparent
legislative intent before 1t hands
down q decision. Malusky's counsel
contends that it does not apply to Of
lenses against the prohibition law, Of
which his client was convicted.
The record shows that Malusky was
convicted Of violating the prohibition
law and sentenced to a year and six
months in prison on April "a. 1929.
Later it vas found that he had been
convicted twice before and was
brought back and sentenced again,
this time to four years or twice the
maximum sentence permitted by law.
The court Is expected to decide the
case in the near future.
