UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Norfolk, Va, April 29-Develop-
ments were expected today in the
negotiation of John Hughes Curtis
with a group of men representing
themselves to the kidnapers OF
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.
Curtis and Lieut. George L. Rich
ard, navy flyer, left Norfolk yes
terday afternoon by airplane Tor
an unknown destination. They had
not returned early today.
Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage,
U. S. N, retired, brought into the
negotiations because he brought
Lindbergh back from his Paris
flight in the cruiser Memphis, an
nounced at midnight that he had
talked to Lindbergh at Hopewell by
long distance telephone.
The Very Rev Harold Dobson-
Peacuck dean of Christ's Episco-
pal church also brought in as
Lindbergh contact because he was
dean of the cathedral at Mexico
City when Lindbergh few there and
met his wife, Anne Morrow. dis
appeared from his home during the
afternoon and was gone seven
hours.
The motor yacht Maroon lay at
the submarine base at the Norfolk
navy yard. She had been fueled and
provisioned since Wednesday.
The various activities, coupled
with the Marcon's long and unex-
pected idleness, seemed to indicate
clearly an unfavorable turn, If only
a brief one, in Curtis negotia-
tons, they have seemed approach
ing climatic stage at frequent
intervals since March 8, when he
first was approached by an ennis
sary of the kidnaper.
1t was certain that Curtis ex-
pected to make another cruise in
the Maroon Wednesday. He tele-
phoned Lindbergh on his arrival
from the last Cruise, of 4 IL days,
and awaited a message from the
kilnaping group, making an appoint
ment for another contact by water.
The Marcon's departure was
postponed from hour to hour I'M
til Wednesday night. and then it
was said that the yacht probably
would put out yesterday. Instead
Curtis and Richards few away.
Usually on such flights they have
gone to Hopewell to see Lindbehgh.
Unless Curtis telephoned Bor-
rage last night from some other
point. and gave him message to
be relayed to Lindbergh by pro-
tected navy yard telephone, little
significance seemed attached to
Burrage's conversation with Lind
bergh.
Burrage himself announced the
conversation at midnight, he has
given, as official spokesman, al
most no news recently of the ac-
tivities of Curtis, the only man who
has contact with the claimants to
possession of the baby.

Alaska Bear Sanctuary

NlQOnQ OOQ1 OQ11OIuQu
 The Juneau Chamber of Con- nlerce protests the move to es- tGblish a brown bear sanctuary o:1 Admiralty and Chichagof is lands, or either of them.
 Without taking the bear by the tail, the Post-Intelligencer, always eager to help Alaska and Alaskans in their aspirations, here gives some of the argu- ments advanced by the Juneau Chamber:
 The two islands contain some 1872 billion board feet of spruce and hemlock, or 1712 per cent of such timber in Southeastern Alaska. The area proposed to be set aside will produce 15O,OOO,O00 feet of timber crop each year in perpetuity, enough to make 660 tons of neWsprint paper daily
 Twelve hundred people find livelihood on the islands now, where there are now located eight large salmon canneries, three producing gold mines, twelve such mines in process of development, one small coal mine, two sawmills, four logging concerns, four fur farms and fifteen or twenty homesteaders.
 The chamber points out that development, none too far ad- vanced in the North as it is, would receive a serious blow if the resources of these two is- lands were to be locked up in . government preserve or national park.
 It Is claimed further that brown and grizzly bears have 7,718 square miles of territory already set aside as sanctuary by the federal government, and that this is ample natural range to assure their preservation.

"The great age and consequent
absence Of organic material from
this formation lead to the con-
cluslon that the oil originates in
younger formations which lie be-
meath these oil formations. Such
conditions could only be brought
about by overthrust fauIting and
from this It Is concluded that the
Sage Greek structure very prob
albly rests on top Of the great
Lewis overthrust fault which ex-|
tends for many hundreds Of miles

Rocky Mountains and has a throw
In places Of at least eight miles

Beneath this fault lie great
thicknesses OF younger strata
ranging in age from early Pal
eozoic to late MezozoIc. The OIL
undoubtedly originates in one or
more OF these formations and
judging from the character OF
the oil and from a knowledge Of
adjacent oil fields, the most
likely one is the Fernie shale.
This formation outcrOps in the
Flathead valley, a few miles to
the west. and is thought to be
the source Of most Of the oil in
the Alberta fields
1T is evident from the above
facts that the most probable
place OF finding a commercial
flow Of oil is at or near, the

enter the basal Kootenai IN q
short distance or whether it
still has many hundred feet to
go is now up 20 the driIl to
determine, since there are no
nearby exposures to guide ge-
ologists.
Much Interest
Outcome Of the well is Of
tremendous interest TO five
groups.
First are the Blackfeet In
dams, whose reservation hol-
dings surround the well.
Next comes the Milk River
Petroleum Company, holder Of
the leases on which the well is
drilling.
Fulton Interested
Next comes W. M. Fulton,
pioneer independent who start
ed the wen, and those associat-
ed with him, who have a parti-
cipating interest il thousands
of acres near the well. Fulton
and associates spent a fortune
in putting the 16-inch hole
down to 1900 feet, where the
operation was taken over by
a Sheldon-Burden rotary
Also interested are the Tex /
as and Hannah-P Porter Compan-
les. The Texas Company has
leased acreage on the struc-
ture and on adjoining folds.
The Hannah-Porter company, I
original Ieasors Of the struc-
-ure, holds the largest block
If acreage in the field, with
he exception Of the group
which is financing continue
ion Of the well.
Many Others
Aside from these, scattering
eases and royalties on the
tructure are held by numer-
,us individuals.

TRAFFIC DUTIES
EDUCATE SCOUTS
ON MOTOR LAWS

Ell Centros newly recruited
traffic force, consisting of various
Boy Scout organizations which
Saturday night direct downtown
traffic, today was pictured as ali
item of public service in the drab
routine of the police department.
j. Sterling Oswalt, chief of po-
lice, this morning explained that
the primary object of securing the
services of the scouts lies not in
traffic direction, but in a cam
paign to educate these youths, who
in a few years will constitute a
part of the motoring public, to the
details and necessity of traffic
regulations.
I'm a matter of a few years
these boys will be driving cars
Oswalt said, "and as the result
of the experience they are abb
tanning now they will be better
and more careful drivers"
The idea of allowing the scouts
to direct traffic on Saturday night
originated with Oswalt several
years ago. 1t has been branded
as one of the most beneficial
methods yet found to educate the
youth of Ell Centro relative to OBJ
legations of motorists in traffic.

RENEW EFFORTS
TOWARD CONTACT
WITH KLDNAPERS

HOPEWELL, N. j., April %. U.P)
efforts to negotiate with
the kidnapers of Col. Charles A.
son were indicated to-
day following a mysterious trip by
the flyer and the arrival of a man
believed to be Dean H. Dobson-
Peacock, of Norfolk.
The flyers journey, which may
have taken him as far as Milford
Conn.,, ended shortly before mid
night. He was alone in his car as
it speeded along Featherbed road
leading to his Sourland mountain
home.
Earlier in the day several motor
cars bearing New Jersey licenses,
stopped in Milford. Two men be-
lieved to be Colonel Lindbergh and
Col. H. Norman Schwartzkopf, state
police head, were in one car.
No explanation or denial con-
corning the Connecticut trip was
made by Schwartzkopf.
The man believed to be one of
the Norfolk negotiators arrived
soon after Lindbergh returned
home. Two men were in the car
which belonged to Edmond j.
Bruce, Elmira, N. Y, friend of
John Hughes Curtis, colleague of
Dean Dobson-Peacock.
The minister was known to have
left Norfolk yesterday and it was
understood there that he was US
ing the name Pearson. A plane
passenger booked as Pearson"
landed at the Newark airport and
entered motor car, presumably to
be driven to New York.
State police reported running
down several false clews, one of
an infant who resembled the Lind
bergh baby, but made no progress
IN the search.

FOREMAN FOUND
NOT GUILTY OF
LABOR CHARGE

Richard Fawke, foremen of plas-
terers at the United Artists theatre
now under construction here, this
morning was declared not guilty
of a charge of violation of section
one of act Abb of the California
statutes. The decision was made
by Judge I. Mayfield in justice
court.
Carl Greeley, a local plasterer,
filed the complaint against FaWke,
charging that while Fawke en-
ployed him at the union wage
scale of SO a day, it was with the
understanding that he return So
daily to the foreman.
The case was heard yesterday
afternoon and excited considerable
interest and comment at the court
house. Decision was rendered this
morning.
In explaining his decision, Judge
Mayfield said he could discover
but one parallel case in California
law. The case went to the state
supreme court, said the judge,
which upheld the contention that
the law should not interfere in
contracts between employer and
employee.

PLEA OF GUILTY
ENTERED BY TWO
In HOLDUP CASE
Third Member OF Trio
Due Here Tonight From
Phoenix.

A. B. Bridges and Clay Crawford
two members of a recently arrested
robber trio, today entered pleas of
guilty in superior court, while Buck
Horton, third member of the group,
was expected back from Phoenix,
scene of his arrest, in custody of
Harold Gillett, sheriff's investiga-
tor, tonight.
Both Bridges and Crawford en-
tered applications for probation, the
latter in the face of advice from
Tom Sharp, Investigator for the
district attorney, that the court
legally cannot grant probation in
his case, since he used revolver
in holdup last Saturday night.
Both applications will be heard
April 30.
Probation may be granted
Bridges, at the discretion of Judge
Vaughn N. Thompson, since he did
not have a gun when the trio held
up Mrs. Bridges and three men
companions south of Holtville, tax
ing SO and an automobile.
Horton may be taken into justice
court for arraignhent either to-
morrow or Monday morning. Wheth-
er he will waive a preliminary
hearing and follow the example of
his asserted accomplices by plead
ing guilty in superior court is not
known.
Horton is the only one of the
trio who has not confessed to a
part in the Saturday night robbery.
Bridges confession, the first OBJ
tanned, resulted in the arrest later
of both Crawford and Horton.
Crawford confessed to Sharp that
he was implicated not only in the
robbery of Mrs. Bridges and her
companions, but had taken part in
sevreal other recent Imperial VAL
ley robberies. He implicated Hor-
ton in these other robberies, but
asserted Bridges had no hand in
them.
