INTERIOR CITY REQUESTING AID
 OF J. s. BUREAU
REC. Asked to Purchase Bonds Issued for
 Fairbanks School
(spscial corra.pondencel

WASHINGTON, April 24.-A wire from the Fairbanks City Council requested Delegate Dimond to ap- peal to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in the hope that the corporation would purchase S5$0, 900 worth of the S98,000 bond issue which Fairbanks proposes to use to build a school to replace the one destroyed by fire early in the morning of December 4. The mat ter was immediately taken up with R. F. c. officials, but it was learned that the terms of the R. F. c. act prohibits the organiza- ton from making loans of any character on public projects where the money to pay for them comes from taxation.
 However, Senator Wagner of New York has introduced a bill which is now in committee, provid- ing. that municipal projects shall not have to be self f-liquidating in order to obtain R. F. C. funds. Or ficials of the R. F. c. were of tha opinion that Ii this legislation i passes the Fairbanks projecS might properly come within it's scope This will probably not be of much assistance where the need is for carly start of construction.
 Employees of the Alaska Read Commission who were improperly placed on the civil service regis l ter and who have encountered de- lays in securing refunds of the amounts they had paid in toward pensions, are now receiving thei1 cheeks. Several letters were writ ten to the Delegate urging him to expedite the matter. The facts were placed before the Civil Service Commission and the Interior De- partment, with the result that il was promised the checks would bs sent out in time to connect with the April 29 steamship.
 
 A caller at the Delegates offics during the past week was Colonel w. L. Stevenson, who is thorough ly entitled to call himself a scur- dough. Col. Stevenson, now man. aging director of the Canadian E&- ploration Syndicate, big mining concern, was first in Alaska in 1887

Treasury NeIUs Leak
Is Believed PLHQQed

Leaks in the Treasury which
permitted the American gold price
from day to day to be announced
to European financial interests
before it should have reached
them, have now been completely
plugged, it is believed. A new
system has been devised for de-
termining the figure and making
it public, and this plan is ex-
pected to be completely successful.
Treasury officials are not con-
vinced that there was any leak
during the past week, but about
ten days ago, they say, there ap-
peared to be convincing evidence
that the figures were getting out
prematurely.

PITTSBURGH, Dec. II 0.N.S0
Two airmail pilots early today
saved themselves by "bailing out"
when their mail and express
planes fell during a binding bliz-
zard raging over Western Penn
sylvania.
Both planes belonged to the
Transcontinental Western Air Ex-
press. One ship, en- route from
Los Angeles, fell in the vicinity OF
Portage. The other crashed near
Roaring Springs.
Dean Burford, Of Columbus,
Ohio, took the parachute route

wings caused his plane to plunge
to earth near Portage. The other
pilot, H. G. Andrews, of Newark,
N. j., floated to the ground when
ice on the carburetor crippled his
engine.
Both fliers were unhurt. Search
was begun for the wrecked planes.

The Lindbergh kidnapping case
will be solved if determination
and grim, vigorous Federal and
police action mean anything.
Certainly, as far as the Depart
ment of Justice is concerned, the
case will never be closed.
Never Marked "ClOsed"
When it is placed in the mac
tive files the perpetrator OF the
nations worst crime" will have
answered in full the demands OF
the law.
No greater challenge has ever
been hurled at the United States
Government. No greater contest
of intelligence against criminal
cunning has never been engaged
in by the agents of the Depart
ment Of Justice. And it is ira
ditional with them that the case
is never marked "closed" until
the defendant is brought before
the court.
All Over the World
Equally determined that this
case will never be closed until the
arrest is made are the authorl-
ties of New Jersey and New York,
Not for one moment has their
investigation let up, nor will 1t
until the culprit is in hand.
Ever since the world startling
flash went out "Lindbergh baby
kidnapped" the most intensive,
far reaching investigation that
man has known has been going
on, day after day. night after
night. all over the United States
and in other countries.
Experts Hard At Work
There is not a police depart
ment, no matter how large or
small, in any State which has not
at some time worked on this case.
Thousands of people have been
questioned, thousands Of places
searched. Fingerprint experts,
handwriting experts, crytograph-
ers and others have spent weeks
and months in painstaking, patient
labor.
The solution to many other
crimes has been found incidentally
and in the course of this inquiry
Good people, the country over
have privately sought to aid in
apprehending the guilty party.
Even many individuals confined
in the prisons of the country have
wanted to help.
In tOmOrrOw'S and succeeding
articles the investigation Of thi.
case will be revealed in detail.
