 of the child had been reported before it was received.
 No Contact With Kidnaper.
 H. M. Bolcom, insurance man who has been with Weyerhaeuser since the Kidnapping, insisted there had been no contact with the "Egoist."
 ''If the family had made a con- tact would have heard about it." He said. I'm in a position to know.
 There is absolutely nothing new Nothing cheering. The outlook is pretty gloomy
 Bolcom refused to identify two strange men and 8 boy who were admitted to the Weyerhaeuser resi- dence last night, refusing even to admit their presence.
 George was abducted Friday noon, and thus the five-day limit passed yesterday.
 Another Mystery Trip.
 Weyerhaeuser and J. Roadman Titcomb, who has played the "Jafse" role, made a long auto mobile trip yesterday, apparently in an effort to keep a tryst with the abductor, but returned hours later, plainly disheartened.
 It was believed they had carried the ransom money. They were not followed and when they returned the anguished father hurried into his home by rear door while Titcomb dashed through line of reporters to the front door.
 Police investigated, alt hough they doubted it's importance, the story of Dick Dietrich, 22, a mes senger, who said he was stopped by three young men who tried to force him to take a message to the Wey- erhaeuser home.
 Dietrich said the men, young and looking like college gradu- ates," forced him to the curb, jumped out of their car and in- sisted he carry note to the Weyer- haeusers. He refused, and when they drove away, hurried to police. He was unable to catch the license number of their car, but did note that it was from Seattle.
 Federal Agents Ready.
 With passage of the headline set for payment of the ransom, de- partment of justice agents were ready to tip into the case from all angles. In deference to the wishes of the family they have held off somewhat, making it possible for ransom negotiations to be car ried on. Now, however. they are expected to go to work in earnest.
 Mrs Weyerhaeuser and Georges brother and two sisters, apparent ly had been provided with body guards. No member of the family left the house unaccompanied.
 Federal agents were reported seeking Alvin Karpis, Harry Camp bell and a third unnamed gangster These men were understood to have driven into Seattle May 19 or 20. In Campbell's sedan. which was registered in California last year under his own name.

 Judge Lindsey denied a divorce to both Emerson and his wife and gave Mrs. Emerson's parents, MT and Mrs. Edward l.. Scholtz. GUS tody of their three minor children. He also held Mrs. Sewell guiltless of participation in the asserted wife trading episode.

 Diplomatic rumors are as un- reliable as any other type, but friends of Ambassador Bill Bullitt at Moscow report that the young negotiator of Russian-American recognition would like to be trans- ferred to the embassy at Paris.
 Bullitt doesn't get along very well with Foreign Commissioner Litvinov. That's hardly surpris- ing. In the abortive trade-debt negotiations following recognition. Litvinov insisted that the Soviet government had been promised a large cash loan from this country.
 Bullitt and Roosevelt-the only other persons present at the time of the verbal agreement as allaged by Litvinov-denied that.

 Cafe Slash Defeated
 Senator Culhane's amendment sutting down the fees for cafes from $1,50o to $1.00 was defeated. The bill passed in the senate must now go to the house and according to general belief many more amendments will be tackled on. If any new amendments are adop- ted in the house it means that the bill will be thrown back once more to the senate.
 Approved Changes
 Principal approved changes made during the first late night session in 20 years, included re- stricting permits for sale of liquor by the drink to one of each 1000 population; prohibiting sales on Sundays; confining package stores and drug stores to sales by the package: and allowing grocery stores to sell beer by the bottle.
 Cafe permits were set at $1,500 and package store and drug store licenses at &260.

Inasmuch as each side practically accused the other of bearing false witness, feeling grew strained.
 The behind -the-door explanation among American diplomats is that Russia, soon after recognition, be- came much less worried over pros- poets of war with Japan and se- riously concerned over the threats of Hitler in Germany.
 This change called for an infor- mai alliance with France rather than the previously planned rap prochement with the United States --ani is credited with causing Lit vinov's change of front.
 Reports continue that Ambass- dor Jesse Straus at Paris will re- sing. Bullitt. a millionaire, could afford to take the job.

 Many officials here also credit an inside story which says Japan is the bug under the chip in Italy's current war. preparations against Ethiopia.
 England, alarmed by expanding Japanese cotton operations in that African empire, is supposed to have influenced Mussolini-at least to the extent of looking benevo- lently upon his plans.
 Japanese cotton raised in Abys- sinia competes directly with Egyp- tian cotton and London has no relish for Japanese intrusion in- to its sphere of influence around the Suez Canal. (This story Is easier to hear here than to con- firm.)

Review Conditions Alaska Published
 In A N. Y. Paper

The New York Times of January 20 published the following article on Alaska by R E Baumgartner of Juneau:
 Within the last few years there has been considerable speculation among political scholars and statesmen as l to the likelihood of some of our out lying territories being admitted to the Union as states Puerto Rico. Hawaii and Alaska are the three most interested subjects of this his torical conversation:
 On March 30 1867 William H Sew ard for the United States and Edward Stoeckl for the Car of Russia con cluded the negotiation which result ed in the sale of Alaska by the Rus sian Government to the United Stat es for the sum of $7,20O,00O. Small as that expenditure was, a great amount of calumny and misery was heaped upon the shoulders of the great secretary of state and other members of Lincoln'S administration. Alaska was branded with derisive and malicious epithets that cling to it even to this day.
 For thirty years after the purchase of '67, Alaska's population excepting for its semi-civilized Indian tribes and Eskimos was negligible. Then the beginning of activity in the fish ing industry on a commercial scale brought it a civil form of govern ment in 1884 In 1912 crude form of Territorial government was esta- blished in Alaska for the increased but still only semi-permanent popu- lation scattered throughout the Ter ritory after the great stampedes to
