HOPES FADING FOR LOCATING
 LOST AIRMEN
Elements Conspire to De feat Search Parties
 by Air and Sea

HONOLULU, T. H., Dec. "A roaring wind today blew out all but the faintest hopes that Capt. Charles T. P. Ulm and his two missing companions still lived.
 Rain, rough weather and low visibility conspired with the wind to leave little possibility that a Japanese fishing craft had picked up the aviators.
 Capt. Ulm, with George Little john, copilot, and J. L. Skilling, navigator, hopped off from Oak land, Cal, last Monday afternoon for Honolulu, enroute to Australia, in the plane Star of Australia, on preliminary flight, routing a proposed air service from the Unit ed States to Australia.
 Early Tuesday morning, off the Hawaiian Coast, sos calls were picked up that the craft was forced down upon the Pacific, gas ex- hausted, and off the course. Army and Navy planes and surface boats took up the search but all attempts to find the aviators have been un- successful.

SALMON CREEK OVER PL ANT
 TO BE REBUILT
Expenditure of $l00,0 ,000 Is Outlined by Gen.
 Manager Metzgar

Work on the rebuilding of the second Salmon Creek power plant which will involve the expenditure of approximately $100,000 is now underway at Salmon Creek, L. H Metzgar, General Manager of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co.,. said today.
 At present a crew is working clearing out the right for the Hume which will carry the water to the hydro-electric equip ment.
 we expect to do the major part of the construction during the spring and summer" MT. Metzgar said. However we will keep as much work going on the project during the winter as the weather permits. According to the plans we have laid out the plant will be ready and in operation early next fall"
 More Electric Power
 Through this additional unit, MT Metzgar estimates that the new unit, when completed and put into operation, will add approximately 1900 kilowatts to the present sup ply of electric current, which is about 2,500 horsepower. The addi' tional power is necessary for ths increased demand in the Alaska Juneau operation, particularly 1T reference to the new hoisting ar rangement, and the development and increased operation resulting from the purchase of the former Alaska Gastineau properties, in. cluding the Perseverance.
 With the new addition the Alas ka Juneau will have a total of sis power units. These are one plant at Annex Creek, one at Nugge' Creek. one at Sheep Creek, one or Douglas Island, and the old ane new plants at Salmon Creek.
 Fire Proof Building
 A fire-proof building will house the new Salmon Creek plant, anc the project also includes the erec- ton of two miles of Hume.
 When questioned regarding what work was being done on the recent ly acquired Alaska Gastineau prop critics, MT. Metzgar said that in. tensive work was going on in tun. nelling, linking up the present A. J workings with the old Perse' verance grounds. Two tunnels art being driven on two different lev. els, and a raise is being made < connect with old levels of the Per. severance. All this work is rapidly linking this important part of tht recently purchased properties tt the workings of the present Alas ka Juneau mine operations.

GENEVA, Dec. 7.-(Copyright by Associated Press, 1934)-A flat threat of war against any nation seeking to violate the alliance of Yugoslavia, CzechO- slOvakia and R u m nj Ia, was made to the world today by Foreign Minister Dr. Edward Benes, of Czech0slovakia, who is regarded as the most respOn- sible member in the organiza- ticn of the alliance of the Lit tic Entente.
 Dr. Benes told the Leagues Council, which is making every effort to settle the present Hungarian YugosIavia quarrel over the formers alleged har- boring of the assassins of King Alexander, that if any one strikes a blow at the unity of the Little Entente, war will result.

Refugees Continue toReach Homeland, Expelled
 from Yugoslavia

SZEGED, Hungary, Dec. :. -(Copyright by The Ass0ciat- ed Press, 1934 After inter mittent forays across the from tier into Hungary, Serbian troops attached to the Yugo- sIav Army have retired tenn porarily, relieving the highly dangerous situation.
 As the forces remain only a short distance from the from tier however, their presence is source of great anxiety to Hungary.
 MIDNIGHT RAID
 A Hungarian news agency said an organization of armed men made midnight raids on evacuated Hungarian homes in Yugoslavia, carrying off valu- ables.
 The Serb detachment entered Hungary only three miles from here and challenged the Hun garian border force to fight. Only strong disciplinary action by Hungarian officers prevent ed battle.
 The situation is tense.
 City Prepared
 Hungarian officials said they did not believe an attack on the city was contemplated, but if it came, the city was prepared.
 The streets are crowded with sol- diers.
 Szeged is the second to Budapest in population and the capital is only 90 miles away.
 Indignation is at fever pitch in the border villages.
 Threats Shouted

COST CHARGED FILA BORROWER
 IS EXPLAINED
Detailed Statement Is Is- sued for Benefit of
 General Public

At the request of J. J. Connors, general chairman of the Juneau Better Homes Campaign, and the chairmen of his various commit tees, the following analization of the cost of borrowing the money for remodeling was prepared by Curtis Shattuck, a member of the Publicity Committee, working in conjunction with Harry I. Lucas, Executive Assistant of the local Federal Housing Act organiza- ton.
 Considerable m i u d erstanding has prevailed in regards to the dis count charged on loans and the following is printed to give full in- formation and attempt to clear up any misunderstanding.
 Cost To Borrower
 Probably the least understood section of the Federal Housing Act is that pertaining to the cost charged the borrower for the use of the money lent him by finan- cial institutions.
 The misunderstanding that has arisen is due largely, without doubt, to the fact that many persons be- lieve the words Interest" and Discount" mean the same thing as applied to charges made on loans that are being paid back ny the borrower on monthly install ments.
 This is erroneous. Interest charg- es .on loans being repaid monthly are based on the balance due the lender between one payment and the next. Another way of stating this is to say that interest charges take into account the diminishing amount of the loan. Discount charges usually do not. They are based on the full amount of the original loan, and the charge IS made for the full period over which the loan will run, without regard for the diminishing amount of the loan.
 Here Is Example
 On loan of $1,00O for three years, for example, being repaid in 36 equal installments, with inter- est at 8 per cent added to each in- stallment, the payment at the end of the first month will be s27.77 on the principle, plus one months
