Thursday, the Senate Subcommit- tee on Appropriations held a hear ing on the appropriation for work of the Geological Survey in Alaska. Dr. w. C. Mendenhall, director of the Geological Survey and for many years chief of the Alaska Division of the Survey, explained the work that the Survey is doing in Alaska and how inadequate the appropriations of the past several years have been to properly carry on the work to- wards completion. Dr. Mendenhall emphasized the fact that only about one half of Alaska has been mapped and that the increased knowledge of the Territory made available to the public through the mapping service is an aid to practically every ser vice, industry and individual that is developing Alaska.
 John w. Finch, director of the Bureau of Mines, also spoke at the hearing, showing what is being ac complished by that bureau. Dele gate Dimond endorsed the work of the Bureau of Mines in Alaska part icularly with respect to mine safety. The Delegate strongly urged that the Bureaus service should not be with drawn from Alaska as is contem- plated
 It is believed that the Subcommit- tee is quite in sympathy with the work being done as some of it's mem bers are virtually interested in the mining development in their own states. Among those present at the hearing were the following: Sen ators, Carl Hayden of Arizona, Ava B. Adams of Colrado and Joseph

cluded, "if a majority of voters want
a certain change in government they
are entitled to it under the Consti-
tuition. And if they can't get it by

Senator White drew attention to
provision of the bill that would
give county election commissioners
power to decide which parties should
be ruled of the ballot, charging that
so much power was bound to be
abused.

pearance of tail.

Plaget's Disease Victim
Doctors say Mr.. Booklet is a vic
tim of Plaget'S diSease-an affliction
resulting from pituitary and thy
roid gland disorder-which some
tins turns its victims into beings
Subhuman in appearance.
Mr.. Booklet was stricken eight
years ago. He was only three inches
short of being six feet tall. Now he
is less than five feet in height. He
has shrunk at the rate of more than
three-quarterS of an inch each year
and still is shrinking.
His neck has almost completely
disappeared and his huge head rests
almost upon his shoulders, so that
his chin rubs against his chest. His
ribs, instead of being in their nor
NAL position, rests upon his legs and
are bowed forward in distinct arcs.
Head Continues to Grow
While Mr.. Booklet is shrinking in
height, his head is growing larger.
Eight years ago he wore an Or
binary sized hat-71s. The last
time he bought a hat it was size 814.
Mr.. Booklet told the United Press
he has been examined several times
by medical men, but that none has
offered any hope of escaping the
slow and painful death to which he
has become reconcied.
I'm only waiting to die" he said.
A grim smile swept over his gro
teSque countenance. Il have moth
ing else to look forward to-
Mr.. Booklet was born of German
parents in Cincinnati, and was the
youngest of IL children. His
brothers and sisters are all normal.
Eight Tortured Years
Until he was stricken eight years
ago he was engaged in commercial
art work in Cincinnati. First indi-
cations of the disease came when
he suffered pains in his head and
spine, he said.
Later, when he moved to Chicago,
the pains became worse, and he ap-
peared to the Northwestern Univer-
sity Medical School, where the mall
ady was first diagnosed as Plaget's
disease. He was informed there was
no known cure.
Then followed the awful years
during which he watched his pain
wracked body become misshapen
and ape-like in appearance.

Political observers are beginning

They believe the minority saw

ORDER SEARCH
FOR RELATIVE
OF SLAIN BOY
Police Suspect Revenge as
Motive in Murder of
YOungSter.
By United Press

By United Press
YPSILANTI, Mich, March g.
State police, investigating re-
venge motive in the brutal Staying
of Richard Streicher Jr., 7, this aft
ernoon ordered a search for a rela-
tive with whom the boys parents
had quarreled.
The relative was not named, but
Capt Donald S. Leonard of the De-
troit Office of the state police said
that he had learned in "a round
about way that the family had had
some trouble with this man when
he tried to force some money from
them"
Meantime, bloodstains found in a
deserted shed a mile from the slain
boys home, were being Examined
by university of Michigan labora-
tories at Ann Arbor to determine
whether they were human or ami
NAL bloodstains.
Three Wounds in Heart
The building had been used as
barn, and it was possible the
blood was that of an animal, Capt.
Leonard said. Boards were ripped
from the floor and sent to the uni
verSity.
Three of the IA stab wounds on
the boys body penetrated the heaAt
and any one of them would have
been fatal, DR.. Stacy Towards au-
topSy showed.
According to marks left on the
body, police estimated the weapon
used to inf1ict the wounds was a
double-edged dagger, about one-half
inch wide and four to five inches
long.
Degenerate Is Suspected
The killer was of mature strength
and was believed by DR.. Howard to
be degenerate or some one mott
waited by hatred or desire for re-
venge."
The slain child left the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard
Streicher, who are prominent To-
cally, Thursday afternoon and his
body was not discovered until late
yesterday when two schoolboys
found it pushed back under a foot
bridge crossing Huron River.
Because a partial letter "Y" had
been formed on the youths chest by
cuts, the theory that it might have
been a sacrifice killing of some re-
ligious cult was first advanced.
