6 OR E STRIKES OUT AT RELIEF UNDER NEW DEAL
G. O. P. Candidate Chief Speaker at Convention
 Banquet Saturday Night

Striking out at the handling of relief by the New Deal and against the taxation of surpluses, Lester O. Gore, Republican candidate for Del egate to Congress, was the principal speaker before the Republican ban- quet Saturday night in the Dream land at Douglas MT. Gore declared he was not talking about the Demo- crats but the New Dealers which, he said, were entirely different.
 The speaker told his listeners, about 150 of them, that relief was baly managed by the present Ad- ministration and that there is great waste and extravaganza. He sharply attacked what he termed taxing of surpluses," because, he stated, that it is out of surpluses prosperity must come MT. Gore charged the taxing of surpluses was retarding recovery rather than bringing it about.
 Despite the fact that but a few hours hence the convention was to be split wide open, MT. Gore pleaded for harmony and urged unity in "electing the entire ticket this fall"
 Other speakers were Clyde Ellis and J. Lindley Greene, of Anchor age MT. Ellis substituted for Harry Mccain, Republican candidate for Attorney General who was reported indisposed during the dinner hour, but showed up for the convention session later and took part in the trump convention. MT. Ellis said he had visions of electing the entire ticket.
 If we fight as hard for our can didates as we have at this conven- ton. we will elect the entire ticket" he declared.
 MT. Green told some of the history of the Republican party, and at one point when he was discussing AL exander Hamilton. the chair of Karl Theile collapsed on the floor talk ing the gentleman from Wrangell with it. The amusing incident tend ed to relieve the tension which was evident on all sides. MT. Green told of some of the good records of the party and called on all the delegates

 Order of a sort is restored, and up from behind the piano emerge the faces of MT. White, MT. Arnold and peace-maker H. L. Faulkner.

They are trying to catch the Temporary Chairman in pebble and move in, but he is sitting tight under the guiding hand of the old political war horse, Albert White. MT. White has previously announced Senator Borah has told him to car ry on,' and MT. Borah can never say his instructions are not being carried out to the letter. MT. White not only has the Republican con- vention in his vest pocket, but it is very evident he will be a delegate to the national convention, as will Mrs. White, if she chooses to go.
 In these words, MT. White has ex- plained his views on the matter:
 Fight Ouer Patronage
 This is just fight over patron age. These special interests here al- ready have eliminated MT. Rasmus- on. the National Committeeman, and now they want to eliminate me. These gentlemen say they are not going to support the party if I re- main. We'll, I have message in my pocket from Senator Borah to the Republicans of Alaska to carry on. We'll carry on, whether these gentlemen want to go along or not. We've called two caucuses of First Division delegates and this minor ity has failed to attend. Now they come in here and use these tactics because they are trying to oust me"
 MT White told them a great deal more. The record probably will show that he talked for perhaps IS min utes and there seemed to be no ques- tion of his position when he con- cluded. Somebody, it appeared to be Mir. Robertson, wanted to hear the minutes of those caucuses. MT. White had MT. Foster read the min utes. They revealed that IS persons representing 57 votes were present

 SEATTLE PLANE
Almoslino's Craft Sighted Overturned by Shel-

WRECKED AIR VESSEL
 LOCATED BY SEE EARCHER
Flier and Bride Later Found Taken to Ketchi-
 kan by Cyane

Albert AlmoSlino and his bride of two weeks, missing since they left Seattle a week ago last Sat- urday enroute to Ketchikan, were .aken to Ketchikan yester y aboard the United States Coast Guard cutter Cyane, after their wrecked plane had been found in Princess Bay on Revillagigedo Island by Pilot Sheldon Simmons of the Alaska Air Transport of Juneau. who directed the Coast Guard vessel to the scene of the accident.
 Pilot Simmons, accompanied by his flight mechanic, Wilfred Lund eft Juneau at 4 o'clock yesterday morning to search for the missing Curtis Robin monoplane flown by Almoslino. Arriving at Ketchikan at 7:15 am, Pilot Simmons inn mediately contacted the U. s. Coast Guard patrol boat Alert, and ar ranged a search schedule with Capt Hans Hansen, commander.
 Up Behm Canal
 Believing that the missing plane was somewhere in Behm Canal, despite the fact that the area had been searched by the Coast Guard vessel, Simmons flew from Ketchi- kan to Foggy Point. near Tree PoInt, the last place the missing pl a ne was reported seen, and searched the mainland side of Behm Canal around the east, north and a portion of the west coast of Revillagigedo Island to Bushy Bay, where at noon he again contacted the Alert, which had proceeded north from Ketchikan along the west coast of the island
 Finds Wrecked Plane
 After Pilot Simmons had re- plenished his fuel tanks from sup plies of gasoline aboard the Alert, and had eaten a nasty lunch, he again took off and retraced his previous route, along Behm Canal, searching the island side of the channel Snow flurries limited visi- bility to about quater of mile and Pilot Simmons was forced to follow every indentation of the coast line. Near the center of Princess Bay the wrecked plane was dis covered floating about fifty feet from the shore in the sheltered water behind point of land ex- tending into the bay. The plane had turned over and only the pom toons were visible.
 Searches Cabin
 Alighting near the wrecked plane, at about 2::30 pm. Simmons taxied alongside and lashed his own plane to the wreckage. Accompanied by his flight mechanic, Lund, and E. Lovgren. Weather Observer at Ket- chikan, who boarded the Simmons plane at Ketchikan to assist in the search, Simmons clambered aboard the pontoons of the wrecked plane, and after removing his cloth ing, succeeded in forcing open one of the doors of the submerged cabin and searched the enclosed space beneath the water, but found no evidence of it's former occupants.
 Shortly after o'clock Simmons .ook off on the return trip to ketchikan. Arriving there 20 min ltes later, he found that the Coast

VICTIMS PLANE WRECK
 FOUND ALIVE
Are Rescued from Lonely Beach on Behm Canal
 by C. C. Cyane
WAN AND WEAK, ARE
 TAKEN TO HOSPITAL
Tell of Existence for One Week Without Food,
 Only Ice Water

KETCHIKAN Alaska, April I3.- From their beds in the hospital here, Pilot Albert Almoslino and his bride of two weeks recounted how they spent one week on the beach without food and fire after i their plane was wrecked in Behm Canal week ago yesterday on the flight from Seattle to Ketchikan.
 Their wrecked plane was found yesterday afternoon by Sheldon Simmons of Juneau and the ship wrecked fliers were later found by the Coast Guard cutter Cyane when the latter craft went to the scene to salvage the seaplane.
 Both the pilot and his wife were tattered and worn but neither seriously injured.
 Rescue Party
 Get my wife" were the first words Almoslino shouted to his rescuers
 The Cyane shore party found Mrs. Almoslino in a rough lean-to and carried her to a small boat, thence to the Cyane.
 Weak and wan, she smiled as she tucked at her hair apologetical- ly and said "Oh, must be dirty"
 Pilot Almoslino told of despair yesterday afternoon when Pilot Sheldon Simmons discovered the plane, maneuvered around and then flew away. Almoslino said Sim mons, unless he had a glass, could not have seen himS one mile away, on the beach, waving a white shirt. Almoslino said he saw Simmons working in the cabin of the over turned craft and undoubtedly though he and his wife had been drowned.
 Ready to Die
 We were both ready to die to- gether," said Almoslino, when we saw the plane take off from the wreckage"
 The two described the arrival of the Cyane at the scene and then finally the calls made by Almoslino being answered from the Coast Guarder and then their rescue.
 On arrival here the pilot and his : bride were taken to the hospital for treatment from exposure and badly lacerated feet. Both were shoeless and Mrs. Almoslino had only one stocking. The two went six days without food and slept in soggy clothing after the plane overturned, landing in the choppy bay where they sought shelter from the storm.
 Last Monday, the day after strik- ing the water. they swan ashore but were unable to save the rifle they had aboard. They did not save any of their emergency food. LOvGREN PRAISES SIMMONS
 A radio night letter was received by Pilot Simmons this morning from c. L. Lovgren, Chief Operator at the Ketchikan Signal Corps, who accompanied Simmons on the flight The radiogram said:

CAN HE O6lJlShN Oo4N- VENTION FIRING LINE AT DOUGLAS, l A. M, EASTER MORNING, APRIL 12-In this early morning hour of the Resurrection Day, the Republican party of All aska finds itself split wide open from Point Barrow to Dixon En- trance. Only the credentials com- mittee at the national convention in Cleveland in June can decide who's who and even that group may have difficulty in healing one of the worst wounds that the Grand Old Party has ever experienced in this far northern territory
 The flood waters of dissension have come pouring down from the snow-capped hills, innundating the party of Hoover and Lincoln, and as the torrent rages on, one man is seen left aboard the raft, calming clinging to the party standard in the teeth of the gale. He is Territor- ial Chairman Albert White. The protege of Senator William E. Bor- ah is still riding the old craft down toward the tempest of fall elections. Badly battered in the turmoil but still bearing up in his support is the Alaska Native Brotherhood, rep resented by Cyril Zuboff, and the Juneau-Douglas Young Republi- can Club. In the final hours before the debacle, MT. zuboff had deliy- cred his ultimatum: If this con- vention does not support the one man in the Republican party who has fought for the Indians in AL aska, Albert White, we, the origin al Alaskans, will support George Grigsby for delegate to Congress. , MT. Grigsby has been reported as probable candidate as an inde- pendent.
 Gore and Mccain There
 Lester o. Gore, the party's duly filed candidate for Delegate, is at convention hall and has been plead ing the cause of the minority or an- ti-White faction, as has Harry Mo Cain, who is seeking the party's support for the office of Attorney General.
 Not in a life time will an obser- vor at political conventions find a more entertaining spectacle than this the Republican convention of AL aska. Here sublimity has given way to rancor in the extreme, and har- mony, a word inadvertently used by several speakers in the course of the sessions which began last Turs- day morning in this Douglas I O. O. P. hall, has become something found only in the dictionary and in the Democratic party. Like the arenas of ancient Rome, this has become the scene of political carnage The fine standard which supported the large globe at the roster lies shattered on the convention floor and from the ear of Republican Chieftain White a little stream of blood is trickling. It's badge of vic tory for he has just blocked out w. c. Arnold of Ketchikan, one of the minority leaders, in as fine a piece of football tactics as ever graced any gridiron. MT. Arnold. with mass encouragement, had assumed to take over the convention when Temper ary Chairman E. E. Engstrom step- ped down for a moment from the chair. But the majority leader was not to be outfoxed and boldly he dove in, flanked by one of his lieut. enants, Henry Benson, an equally nimble-footed young man who grab
