| After nearly weeks visit in Juneau during which cordiality was the keynote of all entertainment, both formal and informal, and fine weather contributed it's share to the pleasure of all, the Aircraft Squadrons, Base Force, United States Navy with the flagship U. s. s. Wright we're prepared to leave for the Westward at 10 o'clock this morning. Departure was delayed by weather reports from Icy Straits and Cordova stating that those districts were blanketed with fog, and they plan to leave as soon as more favorable flying conditions are reported.
 The week of entertainment for the Navy was wound up over the weekend by a variety of events, including dances, baseball and bas- ketball games, U. s. s. Wright band concerts, special church services, house parties both in town and at country homes along the highway and, as the finale, the delightful reception held aboard the U. s. s. Wright Sunday afternoon by Ad- miral A. w. Johnson and officers of the squadrons returning the hospitality, of their Juneau friends. l Open Air Concert
 Hundreds of people heard the final open air concert given by the U. s. s. Wright band on Sat- urday evening in front of the First National Bank on Front Street after which the majority attended the farewell navy dance at the Mandarin Ball Room.

 One of the most enjoyable func- tions held here for sometime was the reception aboard the U. S. S.

Senate Banking Committee Cites Big Investment
 Concerns

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Meth- ods used by American investment bankers in selling billions of dol lars worth of securities now al- most valueless. are described by the Senate Banking Committee as "scandalous and shocking, and at time violative of the most ele- mentary principles of business eth ics."
 One big flaw which the com mittee found amongst the results of it's stock market and banking investigation was that bankers frequently didn't have a decent regard" for their investors inter- ests.
 Another Soon
 A third installment of the Bank ing Committees report will be made public next week, and it, with previous chapters, will be used as a basis for further legis- lation when Congress meets in January.
 The report cited J. P. Morgan and Company, Kuhn-Loeb Com pany, National City Company, Dil- lon-Read Company, and other big investment organizations, and said that the investment banker did nothing to curb the speculative boom.
 It also censured the selling of securities to a preferred list in order to extend influence and control over individuals in high places"

DiIIinger "HeIpers"
Face Indictment

ST. PAUL, Mimi. April ~
0N.SJ.-Heartened by new clues,
Federal operatives and police in

Cities today for John Dillinger
and his band of thugs and robbers,
convinced by fresh developments
that capture Of the gang may be
0Harninent.

bis first lieutenant, John Hamil-

j, s. AND SOVIET
DEBT PARLEY
NEARS END
Surprise Visit to Capital Of
Russian Diplomat Seen
Speeding Settlement
BY International News Service


Discussions with soviet Russia
for a settlement Of the American
debt and damage claims have
taken a favorable turn.
Although early last week the
situation had reached such a seri-
GUS stage that the newly estab-
lished friendly relations with Mos
COW were considered in danger of
becoming strained the belief pre-
walls today in authoritative quar-
ters that prospects are much
brighter for an early settlement
of the debt question.
The discussions have advanced
to the stage where an important
White House development may be
expected within a few days.
Pays Surprise Visit
The improved outlook followed
the surprise visit here of Eugene
Roubinin, chief of the third west
ern division of the Soviet foreign
office. Although Mr.. Roubinin
has not conferred with officials
of this Government on the debt
situation, it was shortly after his
arrival that Ambassador Troyan-
ovsky requested the interview with
the President and developments
occurred which led to a more
hopeful outlook in American
circles.
Moscow's apparent change of
attitude followed blunt warnings
by this Government that no
credits would be extended to
finance the development of trade
with Russia until the debt issue
was settled.
Called Undue Pressure
At first the Soviets expressed
surprise that the debt and damage
claims question was being linked
with the question of trade de-
velopment and Moscow news
papers criticized what they termed
undue pressure.
However, it now is believed
that Moscow realizes this Gov
ernment was serious when it said
there would be no credits until
the debt issue was settled.
Sources in close touch with the
situation are inclined to believe
there may be speedy settle
ment and that the export-import
bank for Russia soon will be
able to start functioning.

By THOMAS F. CULLEN
ST. PAUL, April q GN.S0.
Unfair charges of "bungling" the
manhunt for the notorious killer,
John Dillinger, and his murderous
henchmen. have been hurled
against agents of the Department
of Justice and whines from police
officials have been heard alleging
that those agents have not taken
them into their confidence.
In my opinion, the police of the
Nation would do much better to
keep quiet about Federal activi-
ties when the agents of the United
States have been courageously try.
ing to do a job upon which the
police of many States and cities
have woefully fallen down.
State Police Lax
Dillinger has been a Federal
fugitive only since he escaped
from the Crown Point GndO jail
with a wooden gum" and since
that time the Federal men have
been the only ones who have even
come close to getting him.
He was in Los Angeles and ap-
parently the police there were un.
able to find him, and later when
he was accidently caught by Tue
son, Ariz., police the State of In
diana was unable to hold him.
Indiana, Illinois and Michigan
have had their chance to take him
as well as Ohio, Wisconsin and
Minnesota.
know from my experience that
the police are jealous of the
achievements of the Department
of Justice and that they resent the
Federal men solving crimes and
arreSting fugitives when they
have failed in the same cases.
Police Should Wake Up
If Dillinger is caught it will
be by these agents because they
are the only organization which
has been working "a hours a day
in the search.
I believe that the time has
come for the police of the nation
to wake up, stop talking and go
to work.
If they take lesson from the
Federal men they will do this
and by their own efforts earn
some of the public admiration
which the Federal men have
worked to acquire.
