MAN WITH GUN
 BELIEVED TO BE
 PETER CH|LBERG
Body Found at Foot of
 Tree with Top of Head Blown Away
REVOLVER IDENTIFIED
 BY MORT TRUESDELL
Inquest Is Being Held by United States Commis-
 sioner Mullen

One of the most baffling mysteries of the past few years in Southeast Alaska was believed solved today with the finding of a body near the first bridge in Gold Creek Basin, which has been tentatively identified as the body of Peter Chilberg, who disappeared in Juneau on July 9, last year.
 The body was found by Pete Pecovich and Henry Kuchen about 200 feet up the hill on the west side of the road a hundred yards beyond the bridge in the little basin. The body was in a sitting position against a small tree. A A caliber Colts single action revolver was in one hand across the knees. The revolver was identified this afternoon by Mort TruesdelI as one he sold to Chilberg on the day he disappeared. Keys to Chilberg's house on Gastineau Avenue were also found on the body.
 Skull Blown Off
 The top of the skull was blown away as by shot, according to Charles W. Carter, undertaken who took care of the body. The gun was too badly rusted to tell wheth- CT shot had been fired from it or not.
 At the time of Chilbergs disap- pearance many groups of people. including the Boy Scout troop, searched the woods in the vicinity of Juneau, but all their efforts were unsuccessful
 Chilberg, who was 30 years of age and long time resident ot Juneau, purchased the gun from Truesdell, saying he wanted it for a short prospecting trip. The gun was filled with cartridges and Truesdell gave him six more, but Chilberg refused to take full box.
 Suspicious Aroused
 After Chilberg left Truesdells store, Truesdell became suspicious that he wanted the gun for suicid- al purposes, and told Chief of Police Davis and the search was started, but Chilberg was never seen again.
 An inquest is being held this afternoon at o'clock by United States Commissioner J. F. Mullen.

GAS PURCHASING
PASSEDBY |CKES
Plan to Prevent Market COL
lapse Also Blow at
Illegal Oil.
BY the Associated Pres

BY the Associated Press.
A plan intended to prevent threat
ened collapse of the wholesale gasoline
market and at the same time to clamp
the lid down more tightly on illegal
petroleum production was approved
today by Secretary Ickes.
Brought forward by the industry
and recommended by its Planning and
Coordination Committee, the proposal
provides for purchase Of surplus gaso-
line by major oil companies in the
entire area east of the Rocky Noun
tains.
Most of the gasoline will be obtained
from small, independent refiners.
Significance Of Step.
Oil circles considered this to be one
of the most significant steps yet taken
in the joint campaign for Government
and private enterprise to restore
stability to the $4,000, 900, 900 in
dustry.
Regarded in informed quarters as
an alternative to price fixing, the plan,
the Oil Administration said, is ex-
pected to bring more effective relief
from low refinery prices which have
been depressed by huge gasoline stocks
in storage and the dumping of gaso-
line made from hot" or illegally
produced oil.
Holders of excess gasoline are to
sign agreements not to process any oil
produced Illegally in return for a
chance to dispose of their surplus.
Ickes has been told that purchases
probably will begin at once and that
they should reach about !, ZOO 900 bar
rels in the first month. They may
continue at around 1,258,000 a month
for several months.
Points of Agreement.
The plan stipulates that refiners
and producers whose gasoline will be
bought must agree:
Not to produce, purchase, transport
or process crude oil beyond allowables
established to balance production with
demand.
Not to produce more gasoline than
the monthly quota fixed under the oil
code.
To comply with all code provisions.
To make all reports required by the
OIL Administration and other Federal
and State agencies and to keep their
books and records open for inspection.

CHICAGO BUS STRIKE
DECLARED ILLEGAL
Walkout Fails to Abide by Union
Rules, Says Head of Firm
That Lost Blue Eagle.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September 10.-J. A.
Ritchie, president of the Chicago
Motor Coach Co., yesterday said the
strike of bus drivers, called more than
three weeks ago, was not in accord
with rules of the international union,
in a letter to William D. Mahon, De-
troit, union president.
Only the president of the interna-
tional union or the. Executive Board
has authority to call a strike, Ritchie
stated, and the walkout of Chicago
bus drivers was called by local au-
thorities, he said.
In addition, Ritchie charged drivers
of his company had no right to belong
to the union in that the unions char
ter provides membership only for
street railway transportation bus
drivers employed in connection with
the operation of street cars"
The strike, called shortly before
the bus company's Blue Eagle was
taken by the N. r. A., has resulted
in violence and injuries to several
hundred. No decline in business has
resulted, the company has asserted.
