Newton Crumley and Kemp
Wolverton, local pilots, took
off at dawn but after two
hours search of the district
were unable to report seeing
any trace of q grounded plane.
De Longs plane was last seen
by Pilot Crumley after both had
taken off from here, De Long with
the children and Crumley with Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Stinton, promi-
nent Mountain City rangers. Claude
Womack, father of Ruth, is a re-
sort owner there.
The four members of the Stinton
family and Ruth Womack had been
here for the funeral Saturday of
julie Stinton. II, a son. The youth
had been flown here previously from
Mountain City by Crumley for
treatment of pneumonia.
Flying Erratic Course.
AIluIlley SdlQ Lie bOIlB . I)ldltS was
flying an cratic course when 1t
struck the mists after leaving North
Fork. He thought he saw it swerye
from the course before the rlists
blotted the plane from Crumley's
vision.
A mist still hung over the district
early today and impeded the search
by air.
At noon, De Long and the three
children had been missing approx
mately 20 hours.
If their plane had cracked up in
the mountainous country between
North Fork and Mountain City and
they miraculously had escaped in
jury, it was feared here the sub-zero
temperature would cause their deaths.
There are few shelters in the re-
gion.
Believed Buried in Snow
De Long had been a transport pi-
lot between Elko and Mountain City
for several months.
The searchers were forced to use
in Flooding through the
deep snowdrifts. Automobile travel
between North Fork and Mountain
City was blocked. Roads south of
North. Fork we're hazardous.
Deep ravines andecanyons, filled
with many feet of snow, cover the
area. Officials believed from Pilot
Crumley's failure to see any dark
object on the snow that De Longs
plane crashed into a drifteand prob
ably will remain hidden Until the
spring thaws.
: The snow-covered ravines and in
tense cold and the hilly terrain of
the districtzmade the search diff

Waking and sleeping, the tuber-
cular little gangSter keeps at his
hand a vial of nitroglycerin powerful
enough to wreck a building or kill

to die himself, carrying attackers
with him, rather than be captured.
Postal inspectors admitted today
that they know of Touhy's' deter
mination and that it is a factor in
all their plans to end his 20-year
career as safe cracker, auto thief,

Brother in Prison
NTouhy is one gangster who has a
genuine claim to the "toughnesS" in
whichsl1 ilk takes pride Suffering
from advanced consumption-under
world reports say he expects death
from hemorrhage at any moment
The still is as arrogant as on the
day when he stuck his face within
inches of that of Alphonse (Scarface
AID Capone and told him
you get yourself and your goril-
las out of my territory-and stay
out-or I'll send you out of here feet
first"
The Touhys sold bootleg beer and
collected tribute from gamblers.
Roger, elder of the brothers, went
to prison last year on 99-year
sence for kidnapping John (Jake the
Barber) Factor
Hamilton Also Hunted
Tommy, now somewhere near 40
years old, began crime as a safe
cracker 20 years ago. Police say he
is one of the best workmen in the
line. DESPITE his feet, inches of
height and frail physique, Touhy
held his own in his early career as
labor muscle man, the toughest of
rackets. Almost single handed he ex-
tracted thousands of dollars of
tribute from labor unions and their
employers alike.
Police have heard that he has or
gained shattered bits Of the John
Dillinger gang and his own former
followers. Joseph Burns, former
Dillinger gang gangster captured
here last week, was questioned four
days in an attempt to turn up
Touhy and John Hamilton, Dillin-
gers lieutenant. The inquisitors
learned nothing but did not aban-
don their theory.

HAUPTMANN AID
PLOT IS Barred
FictionaI Account of Trial
Sent Panel Casts Doubt
on KIDNAPPING.
Bu United Press

PENNINGTON, N. j., Dec. "a
Safeguards to assure a fair and i'm
partial trial for Bruno Hauptmann
we're considered today by state Off
Gals. The prosecution charged that
"a malicious and deliberate attempt"
had been made to tamper with the
jury panel.
A booklet mailed to veniremen
aroused New Jersey authorities and
led TO postal inspectors being mott
fed. the literature, mailed from
Chicago, described a fictitious case
which closely paralleled the kidnap-
ing of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh'S
infant son. It set forth that the
defendant was acquitted and at
tempted to prove that the kidnapped
infant Strayed from home, was killed
by wild animals and was not kid
naped.
Anthony M. Hauck Jr., Hunterdon
County prosecutor, said the pamph-
let was deliberate attempt to dis
tort the states case and that it
might land somebody else in cell
along with Hauptmann."
The defense was not suspected.
The prosecutor planned a confer
ence with state officials today or
Wednesday,. Attorney General David
T. Wilentz, who is directing the
states case, declined to intimate
what steps might be taken. The
question Of calling a new panel of
$50 for the trial was believed under
consideration by authorities.
The booklet sent to veniremen was
copyrighted by Mary Belle Spencer,
who conducts .as4conf1dential news
syndicate at Chicago. Mrs Spencer,
lawyer, saidytshe had mo idea"

this Office several times asking for
our intervention, interviewed our
attorneys and submitted aff1davits.
They requested us to have an i'm
partial comm, 5tee, in whom the
public would have confidence, go
into the charges made by them
and issue a public statement.
Full Investigation Rejected
1--WE agreed to do so if the COM
mittee also investigated charges
previously submitted to US by the
industrial Union. We urged
Michael Intrator. one of your men,
bers who was spokesman for the
group, to get the consent of your
union to such an investigation. He
expressed his doubts, apparently
because of our desire to investigate
the charges on both sides. He and
his group evidently were primarily
interested only in our investigat-
AA15 WAL SCo OAOlAS4lb Wy JCul luClll~
bers. When our proposal for in
vestigating both sides of the con-
fiict came to nothing, we wrote the
Industrial Union under date Of
September 18th that we had to
abandon the plan, to which they
had assented.
upon publication of that letter
by the Industrial Union, we r.
ceived a letter from members of
your Joint Council under date Of
October 9Th, copy of which we en-
close. The writers protest that
instead of investigating their
charges we entered into negotia-
tons with the N. T. w. I. u We
did nothing Of the sort. We already
had received charges from that
union, and it was plainly fair only
to deal with both sides. The writ
ers of that letter are in error in
stating that we failed to notify
them as individuals or the union
a. an. organization The proposal
fer the investigation of all charges
was put before Mr.. Intrator in
June. A personal interview with
our Mr. Wirin shows that he was
doubtful of its acceptance by his
group or the union. Mr.. Intrator
did not further reply"

Stating that the Needle Trades
Workers Industrial Union has
ample proof that the Furriers Joint
Council of New York hired gang
sters and gorillas to beat up and
cut up members of the N.T.WI.U.
the union again declared yesterday
that i. is at all times ready to be
Investigated for its activities.
This statement was made in con-
nection with a release that has been
issued to the press by the American
Civil Liberties Union, which has
been approached by both unions to
conduct such an investigation.
The N.T.W.I.U. charged that the
Lovestoneites together with t h {
Joint Council have raised com
plants about alleged use of gang
S er methods used by the Industrial
Union in order to cover up theil
hiring of gorillaS and gangsters.
The press release of the AC.L.U
follows in part:
Sweeping charges by the Fur
riers' Joint Council of New York
that the American Civil Liberties
Union had encouraged gangsterism
in the fur industry are wholly
baseless,' according to a letter sent
this morning by Roger N. Baldwin,
director of the A.CL.U. to Isidor
Cohen, manager of the Joint Coun-
Gil.
Citizens Inquiry Offered.
1.-THE Civil Liberties Union an
swered Mr.. Cohen's statement that
the Joint Council had never off
cially or unofficially' approached
the A.CL.U. regarding alleged acts
of terrorism in the labor union
fights in the fur market by sub
hitting a copy of letter received
from members of the Joint Council.
The A.CL.U. also asserted that las
spring delegations of members of
the Joint Council had come to the
office of the A,CL.U. and had re-
uuested that an impartial commit
tee go into charges made by them
and issue a public statement"
Explaining the functions and
character of the A. G. L. u, the
release continues:
"The Civil Liberties Union plays
no favorites. We defend the rights
of all without discrimination. Our
offer to aid upon request in coun-
teractlng the long continued VOL
ence in the fur industry stands, and
under the auspices of committee
of distinguished citizens to whom
neither your union nor anyone else
could take exception as unfair.
I'm denying that your union has
ever appealed to the Civil Liber-
ties Union for aid In counteract-
ing violent attacks on your mem
bers," Mr.. Baldwin wrote, you
evidently rely on a pure techni-
cality. The appeal was made to
us by a group of your own mem

Urges RedVOte
HOfbauer, Nominee for
Court Post, Tells of
Role of Party

An urgent appeal to all metal and
machine construction workers to
vote for the candidates of the Com
munist Party on election day was
made yesterday by Leo Hofbauer,
the Party's nominee for Justice of
he New York Supreme Court in
the First Judicial District
Hofbauer, one Of the leaders Of
the Steel and Metal Workers In
dustrial Union, has been working in
the industry for over IS years.
"As metal and machinery
worker" he stated, involved in the
day to day struggles of the industry,
both at the bench and in the or
ganiZation Of the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union, appeal
to all metal and machinery workers
in the silver and holloware, novelty,
display fixture and figure, the wire
goods, iron and bronze and allied
indus ries to vote in this years
election for the only working class
party, the Communist Party.
"The Communist Party is the
only political party that fights for
the demands of the workers, hourly,
daily, weekly, and throughout the
whole year, which fights for all OPP
pressed workers, Negro people,
native and foreign-born workers,
and is carrying on this fight into
the election campaign.
Thousands of workers employed
in the above mentioned trades Of
the metal industry were engaged in
strike struggles during the pas
year. AS a result of these strikes,
most Of which were successful, the
workers received wage increases, in
many cases as high as fifteen dol
lars per week.
"In these strikes the Communists
among the strikers and among the
members of the S eel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union were al
ways in the first ranks. The Com
munists always showed the way to
be followed, gave advice and were
helpful in getting higher wages,
shorter hours and better working
conditions for all the workers.
THE Communist Party proved in
deeds and in actions that it fights
for the workers all year around. A
vote by the workers for the Com
munist candidates means further
blows to the bosses"
