Blendtrudas IS still being detained without bonds at police headquarters. although the authorities believe that the evidence. against him is mostly cir cumstantiai. The only positive mos tive that Blendtrudas could have had in making un attempt to mur- der his nelghbors was his recent quarrel with Mrs Kvietkus over a tree cutting incident.
 Blendtrudas denies shooting either Mrs Kvietkus or her hus- band. The police have followed clues to various parts of the state but have yet to find any informa- ton which will shed light on the double attempt at murder.

 ANCHORAGE BASE

Lighting upon Resurrection Bay
 as softly and deftly as a falling
 feather, then toddling up onto the beach like a duck, an am- phibian plane of the Alaskan Air ways, with Chief Pilot Matt A. Nieminen at the controls, and
 Karl K. Katz, manager of the
 Anchorage base, as passenger, came out of the sun this morning
 for a brief visit.
 And thereby, Mir. Katz kept a promise; that upon assuming his new duties, one of the first things he would do would be to pay this city an air-visit; and he did. He said Tt was one of my pleasures to make my first call here. My faith in Alaska aviation is such that I am willing to forego my 25 years of railroad transportation experience and devote my entire time to my new duties
 Mrs. Katz and three children will arrive from Seattle in the very near future, he said, to make their home with him at Anchorage.
 Of importance to Seward is the announcement made by MT. Katz that Elwyn Swetmann, of the Seward Drug Company, has been appointed local representative It is the hope of the officials that local business will be such that it will become necessary to base a plane here permanently. With this In view, Katz and Nieminen, fol- lowing the arrival from the South of the Admiral Watson, intended to make a trip of investigation of the several lakes and other places III this area, points where business may be developed The first of these flights will be to Cooper,s Landing and Russian River. The Westward district will also be flown, out of Seward, with this purpose in mind.
 A second important announce ment is that Robert Ellis pilot with the Alaska Washington Air ways, who has been based at Ju- neau since that organization was affected. will join the Alaskan Airways staff before or on Sep- tember l, with Anchorage as his base.
