|HICKSON SUSPECTS
|LL|TERATE CLAN
Psychologist Thinks Kidnaper
May Be Found in Jersey
Cranberry Boys.
By the Associated Press.

PITTSBURGH, March "a sugges-
ton that the kidnapped Lindbergh baby
may be found among the "Pineys" in
the cranberry boys Of New Jersey was
made last night by DR.. William J. Hick-
son, former Chicago psychologist.
DR.. Hickson, visiting relatives in Pitts
burgh, recalled an extensive study he
made of the "Pineys."
II worked for Is months for Vine
land, N. j., institution for the feeble
minded" DR.. Hickson said.
AN area about rs miles square part
of it near the home from which the
Lindbergh baby was stolen, contains
about 400 or 500 weak-minded descend
ants of a clan which has persisted
from Revolutionary times.
1.-The Pineys live by cranberry pick
ing, stealing and assorted minor crimi-
nalities. They are illiterate and suffer
from mental illnesses"
These, the psychologist believes, are
the type who would perpetrate the dar-
ing kidnapping which has brought into
play the full resources of the law and
has aroused the sympathy of the Nation
DR.. Hickson says he found the Pineys
unhealthy in mind and body, living
without the law precarious, makeshift
existence in the pine woods.

Baby Liked Rough
Play, Lindbergh's
Butler Reveals
Declares He Wishes He
Could Get His Hands
on Kidnapers.
BY the Associated Press.

HOPEWELL, N. j., March 3.-Ollie
Wakeley, butler-chauffeur for the Lind
berghs, expertly balanced an armload
of sandwiches and coffee for the State
troopers yesterday and declared with a
Scotch burr that he'd like to get his
hands on the one who stole the baby.
His young face was lined with worry,
and he seemed to welcome an oppor-
tunity to talk with somebody about the
case.
MY wife was so crazy about that
baby" he said, that she's been in a
terrible state ever since this happened.
Sometimes I used to be afraid the
colonel would object to the way she
fused around the little boy. The col
onel always insisted that the boy should
not be idolized He used to tell me to
forget that the little fellow was Col.
Lindbergh's son-just to treat him like
any other baby.
THE baby was very intelligent. He
liked his father to play with him, too.
And the colonel used to roughhouse
him and push him over on the floor"
Then Wakeley seemed to realize that
he was talking to a reporter.
"I can't say any more. My job Is
valuable" he declared, and hurried
away.

The announcement that the Alaska Juneau will pay dividends at the rate of per cent on the par value against per cent at the present time is assurance of the stability of this great property. Its earnings fully justify the increase. In spite of the larger dividend the company will continue to add to its growing surplus which is already large enough to take care of planned developments.
 The Alaska Juneau plans to increase its tonnage and the value of it's recoveries at date not distant That will mean the expenditure of a considerable portion of its surplus in this community and in- creased employment in the course of time.

Radio meteorographs are the newest devices for bringing down to earth information on atmospheric conditions high above the clouds. Several of these instruments have just been calibrated by the United States Weather Bureau and sent to Alaska for use in obtaining facts for the Second Internationa Polar Year which started August 1.
 radio meteorograph consists of automatic temperature and pressure recording device and a compact radio sending apparatus It is attached to balloon for release at any desired point As the balloon rises the changes in barometric pres sure and in temperature a metal finger to move across various contact points thus transmitting radio signals. The observer on the ground below picks up these signals with a receiving set and from calibratons of the instrument previously made determines the corresponding temperatures and heights
 In thickly settled areas instruments that auto- natcaly record atmospheric changes on tracing paper are often sent up in balloons. Attached to parachute and bearing tag asking that they be returned to the nearest Weather Bureau station, they stand good chance of being recovered. In the uninhabited polar regions, however. they are
