1t is powered with a 425 horsepower
Wasp motor, it has a cruising speed
Of 1875 miles per hour and its equip

ton developed by the Northwest

pair shop in the Pacific Northwest"
Graham Is Mechanic
Gordon Graham, who will have
charge of all repair work for Will
bur Irving, Inc, and the Alaska Air
Transport, started work early this
morning on a "20-hour service
check of the Lockheed Vega. A
complete check of mechanical equip
ment at the end of each twenty

ment board includes blind flying
panel, and navigation instruments
and aids similar to those used on
the largest airliners in the States.
Radio Installation
The new radio equipment now
being installed in the Fairchild in
cludes the very latest type PAA
transmitter and receiver, particu-
larly adapted to long distance COM
munication under conditions pee
uliar to Alaska, with selection of
four wave bands, one of which, 500
kilocycles, is used by ships at sea
and by U. S. Army Signal Corps
stations. In addition to the IA radio
stations operated by the PAA, all
of whom are in constant communi-
cation with PAA planes in the air,
receiving position reports at regular
intervals, the radio equipment will
enable its pilot to communicate with
Coast Guard vessels and Signal
Corps stations, many of W hi C n
maintain constant watch.
Direct Starter
Another mechanical improvement
is a direct starter, considered greatly
superior to the old type inertia
starter, which was installed in the
Fairchild at PAA shops in Browns
vile, Texas.
Shortly after the arrival of the
Fairchild plane from Seattle yes
terday, Pilot Bob Ellis, local PAA
representative, took off at the con-
trolls of the plane for ten-minute

u. 5. BOY CLUBS
SEENASCHECK
ON CHAIR
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN


OSSINING, N. Y, Nov. 80
U.N.S0.-Sing Sing prisons
deathhouse is crowded with
doomed killers.
Twenty-three men are waiting
to die in the electric chair.
Nine Of them are still too young
to vote!
Discussing this situation, War
den Lewis e. Lawes, one Of
Americas foremost penologistS,
today declared he favors a Fed
eral Government board which
would supervise the activities of
the various boys clubs which he
says are now making progress,
but whose work should be CO
ordinated."
Multiple Crimes, Cause
Warden Lawes said one reason
so many are waiting to die is
that there has not been an exc.
cution in Sing Sing since last Au'
gust. Another reason is multiple
crimes of those doomed
were caught for one murder, sew
eral for another.
One Of the doomed criminals is
James Sullivan, 17-year-old New
York boy. In sentencing Sulli.
van, Judge Brancato called at.
tention to the fact that nine of
the ten persons convicted of first,
degree murder in the past year
have killed their victims during
the commission Of robberies. Said
warden LaweS:
"These young fellows are
moral imbeciles. They haven't
the judgment or the control Of
the older and hardened crimi-
nal. Usually they are members
Of some neighbOrhOOd gang"
Urges Boys Clubs
Warden Lawes feels that, with
the deathhouse occupants showing
up as younger men than formerly
the solution involves national con,
troll Of the problem which would
cut across State lines.
He praised such organizations as
the Boy Scouts of America, the
Boys Clubs, the Boys Athletic
League, and so forth. saying they
have cut down crimes of violence
in certain neighborhoods, but he
thought the whole problem should
be under the supervision of a
Government board so that crimes
could be more effectively check
mated.
