 TRIP EAST; TO
 RETURN IN MAY

Enroute to New York to begin the work of classifying and identifying specimens of fossil remains unearth- ed in the interior this summer, John B. Dorsh, Field Man for the Prick Laboratories, American Museum of Natural History. sailed for Seattle on the Northland.
 Dorsh will return to Alaska next May to continue his work begun three years ago in that field. Next summer he expects to work on the Upper Panama, where it has been rumored there are extensive deposits of stone artifact specimens. Tn ad- dition to geology and paleontology, Dorsh's work next year will include considerable inve $ t igation in the field of archaeology. A
 Previously, Dorsh has taken ad- vantage of large dredging and fyd- raulic mining operations to assist in the uncovering of specimens, usually found at depths of from 10 to 100 feet below the surface, but next year he will conduct his own excavations. sf&

Pilot Simmons Held Up a Cordova by Unpre-
 cedented Weather

Fred R. Lucas, Warden, Alaska Peninsula District, Bureau of Fish cries, and John Blythe, EZRA of- ficial, arrived at 5:30 pm. yester- day aboard the Alaska Air Trans port Patco flown by Sheldon Sim mons, from a trip to Cordova and Bristol Bay.
 Pilot Simmons reported that he was held at Cordoya for three days as a result of unprecedented cold weather. Eyak Lake at Cordova is completely frozen over in October for the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Simmons was unable to take off from the lake as the plane was retarded by breaking through the thin ice to below the necessary speed. It was thought that within a few days the ice would be- come thick enough to support the plane and takeoff could be man aged from the surface. After waiting three days only four inches of ice had formed which was not sufficient The plane was placed on skids and dragged by tractor to salt water where no further difficulty was ex- perienced.
 weather conditions were as gooo as can be expected at this time ol year and aside from the difficulty at Eyak Lake, which was very un- usual, we didn't have any trouble.
 Shortly after noon today Simmons took off for Skagway, returning al 2:30 pm. with Fire Chief V. W Mulvihill, who was passenger from Juneau to Skagway on the Yukor F. iday. Simmons reported that the bay at Skagway is frozen and the temperature is down to zero. Ht forced his plane through the ice as near the shore as possible and g channel was cut from the shore to the plane to allow a small boat tt put Mulvihill aboard the Patco.

CROPSTIS IS HERE;FLICHT
 IS THRILLER

I'm glad got here-I'm tired oi picking ice,7 said Charles Gropstis pilot of the BelIanca seaplane owned by the Treadwell- ll-Yukon Mine at Mayo, Y. T., which carries Livingston Wernecke. Consulting Geologist and Manager of the Treadwell- Yukon Mine, on several trips each year between San Francisco and interior Yukon Territory
 Gropstis arrived here at pm yesterday from Whitehorse after a trip which he described as lots of fun and excellent experience"
 When his plane left the water already covered with soft foe ice at Whitehorse his rudder was use less from freezing, his controls were almost useless as result of newly formed ice, his propeller was deeply encrusted with ice from flying spray and his pontoons were loaded down with two or three hundred pounds of ice.
 Fast Maneuvering
 It required about twice the effort to manage the controls, Gropstis said. and fast maneuvering was im- possible. Shortly after leaving White horse the ice which had formed on the propeller blades loosened and was thrown off, several pieces striking fcrcibly against the pontoons, which however, were not damaged. Inner sion in the salt waters of Gastineau Channel soon freed the pontoons oi their load of ice, and the Bellanca plane was hauled from the water tc the PAA float.
 Sudden Cold Wave
 Gropstis stated that a sudden cold wave reached Mayo last week. Last Monday the temperature was 10 de grees above zero, the following day it dropped to 12 below, and Wednes- day, the day Gropstis left Mayo, il was 30 below. The plane which had been partially beached in a lake at Mayo, had to be picked loose from the shore ice and a runway broken to open water. The plane was forced down by weather at lower Lake Le- Barge Wednesday night, but went on to Whitehorse Thursday where it remained until yesterday morn ing.
 Fly to San Francisco
 Wernecke remained at Whitehorse and will travel by train, with ths baggage of both men, to Skagway where Gropstis will pick him up to- morrow. They had almost decided to remove the wings and ship the plane from Whitehorse, but Gropstis managed to get the ship off tht water so the trip to the States will now be made by plane. Questioned about forced landings between Whitehorse and Juneau Gropstis said, T didn't dare land ay stabilizer was stuck. I got ur to 170O0 feet and did't have any trouble" Gropstis insists that there was no danger and that the flight was "a lot of fun.

HARMONY EVIDENT
 AMONG DEMOCRATS

Naugatuck, April 23-Harmony reigned at the meeting of the democratic town committee last night, according to reports con- corning the session which lasted O long time. Plans for the coming campaign were discussed and op- timism reigned. Frank T. Green who was recently reelected chair man presided.
 Party organization was discussed as were also means for financing the coming campaign. No rally dates were set but 1t Is expected these will be chosen next Monday at another session of the commit tee.
 Members of the committee wish to clear up the point of whether or not the party is entitled to one more nominee for the position of baliff. They named four at the party convention and the republi- cans named four. It is believed nine are chosen in the election. Be- cause 1t was the winning party at the last spring election, democrats believe they should get the oppor- tunity of naming one more. They nominated five last year. The name of Robert Hughes was suggested as bailiff, if this opportunity arises
 Any breaches caused by the par ty convention seem to have healed over somewhat, on the surface at least, and party members feo' hopeful for victory at the polls on May 9th.
