 Yost contends that the popular demand for short wave service and development of the art does not yet warrant taking it out of the experimental class.
 Licenses have been issued to 10 companies for experimental relay stations, and 23 out of 27 channels available for such service have been assigned.
 Westinghouse has been experi- menting in short wave and relay broadcasting since 1922. The ex- pense of operating the relay sta- tion from 1924 to 1880. excluding program costs. was approximately S400.000. During l930 it's trans mitters operated an average of 405 hours month.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska. March IT Pilot Art Hines and Game War den Sam O. White are preparing to hop off to search the upper Yukon Valley for Pilot Fred Moller who has been unreported from any three points for which he was bound since leaving here March g.
 Fears concerning Moller's safety are increasingly hourly following a dispatch from Circle saving a plane was heard headed in the direction of Charley River last week. There has been no report since then.
 Moller should have landed at one of the Yukon River communities within short time after having been heard at Circle.
 Trouble of some kind has almost certainly overtaken him unless he decided to continue direct to the Kobuk country where he is inter ested in mining. This is held. how ever, to be slim possibility as he had cargo for Eagle.

der mysterious circumstances in southeast Alaska. Albert Anderson of the gasboat Ceylon was reported missing near Kindergarten Bay in October; John Wickstrom disappear ed from his boat near Ketehikan and was never heard from. John Marshal, a fish buyer of Ketchikan, was found murdered on his boat.
 It was the murder of Marshall that aroused the authorities to ac- tion. The Department of Justice sent a special agent to Ketehikan, and he has been conducting an in- quiry for several weeks. It is be- lieved that Davis, one of the missing men, was the man who notified the authorities that there was some thing wrong on Marshars boat, the Phoenix, the evening the murder and robbery took place, and Deputy OaswelI is working on the theory that the disappearance of Farrow and Davis is the outcome of disputes over the division of the loot from Marshal's boat, according to ad- vices from Ketchikan.
 Anderson Known Here
 Both Anderson and Lanthorn are we'll known in Wmngell. Anderson is a fisherman and trapper, operat- ing a seine boat during the salmon season. He worked for the Lake Bay cannery last season, and it is reported that he came in from fish ing several times with a badly lac erated face, supposedly the result of some argument with Farrow, who was fishing with him, and who is said to have been a professional fighter in the States.
 Lantohrn is an oldtimer in the north, and spent many years in the Interior. He was watchman at the Santa Ana cannery for several years and was stream watchman at Sal mon Bay during the past season.
