 ARE SOLELY BLAMED Resentment Expr essed to Work on Ceaseless
 Fabrications

MOSCOW, Sept. 4.-Russia today warned Japan that the Soviet Gov ernment considers continuation of the present situation on the Soviet Manchoukuan border as being in- tolerable and exceeding dangerous to: the cause of peace.
 The Soviet Government proposes an immediate establishment of a mixed Soviet-Japanese- -Manchouku- an Commission to inquire into the many incidents on the desolate frontier.
 The Soviet Government pointed out that the Japanese consented of ficially to the establishment of such a commission last February and contends the delay at the creation of such a commission is entirely Tokyo's fault.
 The Soviet Government also an- nounces to the world that it pro- tests to the alleged ceaseless fabri- cation by Japanese -Manchoukuan attempts to place on Russia re- sponsibility for possible aggrava- tion of the situation.

ELECTS DELEGATES TO

Alaska Department Endors- es Plan for Pioneers
 Memorial

Four former Alaskans, now liv- ing Outside but members of Alaska Legion Posts, were elected delegates to the National Convention of the American Legion which convenes in Cleveland September 21 at the third day session of the Department of Alaska here today.
 They are: J. F. Conner of Cor dova Post. Dr. Royal Fitch of Val deg Post, Herbert Frawley of the Juneau Post and the latter's Past President, and Dr. Walla Tate of the Seldovia Post.
 The delegation was authorized to admit to membership in the dele gation other eligible Alaska Le- gionnaires who may be attending the convention.
 At the brief business session, a resolution presented by Past De- partment Commander Filler Han- sen endorsing the plan for a monu- ment to the memory of Alaska pioneers was unanimously adopted. The Past Commander in comment. ing on the plan said that consid- erable interest already had been shown in the proposal in the Ter ritory and 1t probably would come up at the forthcoming Legislature in January.
 "Sitka has been suggested for the monment," Hansen said, but I don't care where it is. But I do believe that it is the least we can do for those noble pioneer men and women who came to this country in the early days and stayed to make this Territory the great coun- try that it is."
 Invitation from Mayor H. E. Brown of Anchorage, to hold the 1937 convention in that city was received by the convention, and it is probable that Anchorage will be so honored next year as present plans point to the probable election of Sidney c. Raynor of Anchorage as Department Commander next year. He is now First Vice. Com mander. Mildred Culver of An- chorage also was elected President of the Department Auxiliary this morning,
 An invitation also was received from James L. Galen, President of the Mckinley Tourist and Trans portation Company, to hold the 1887 convention in Mckinley Na- tional Park.

 FOR DEMOCRATS
Entire Campaign Party Civ. en Great Welcome in
 Southeast Cities

After leaving the Democratic campaign party, which he has transported throughout Southeast Alaska, consisting of Delegate An thony J. Dimond, Attorney Gen. eral James s. Truitt, Auditor Frank A. Boyle Senator Norman R. Wal ker, and Capt. James V. Davis, in Ketchikan yesterday, Alex Holden, manager and chief pilot of the Ma rine Airways, arrived in Juneau this morning with the company's Bellanca and declared.
 Everywhere spontaneous and en- thusiastic receptions greeted the Democratic candidate group, which included Delegate Dimond, Attorney General Truitt, Territorial Auditor Boyle, Senator Norman R. Walker, and House of Representative can didates Capt. James V. Davis, and J. P Anderson.
 Judging from the receptions and the crowd that attended the meet ings every indication points to a strong Democratic victory in South east Alaska" Holden said.
 "At all the places visited, all of the candidates talked at public meetings, each one advocating the voting of the straight Democratic ticket and stating the reasons why this action on the part of the voters was necessary for the continued pro- gress and development of the Ter ritory, under friendly and har- monious administration. Formal meetings at Klawock and Hyda- burg had not been planned, but upon arrival there the citizens want ed to hear the candidates and in- sisted they remain long enough to get the people together for a gen. eral meeting"
 A good schedule was maintained 1 throughout the trip, Manager Hol- den, who piloted the campaign plane, said.

REMAINS OF $ CARRIED FROM
 PLANE WRECK
Are Wrapped in Canvas on Lake Side, Then Flown
 to Anchorage
INSTANT DEATH TOOK PLACE, DOCTOR SAYS
Solution of Disaste May Hinge on Contents of
 Camera

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Sept. A. Rescue parties recovered the bodies of the six victims of the plane crash on a mountain ridge on Kenai Peninsula and carried them over hacked out, scrubby wood trail from the scene to the small lake in the Shilak Lake district.
 All six bodies were returned to the beach by 3 o'clock Thursday afternoon, wrapped in canvas by sorrowing airmen comrades and hardy woodsmen, placed aboard waiting planes and brought here.
 Bodies Mangled
 Dr. A. s. Walkowski, in the party which recovered the bodies from the wrecked plane, said all were badly mangled but the six persons had died instantly.
 Pilot Steve Mills was the only one wearing a safety belt, which had been pulled from the sockets.
 The motor had been pushed back into the cabin by the force of the crash.
 Possible Solution
 The solution of the crash may hinge on the contents of a camera found open and in good condition. It is believed the plane may have been flying low so those aboard could take pictures of herds of wild sheep and goats.
 Caught in Air Pocket
 The plane possibly was caught in an air pocket.
 pr. Walkowski said the plano crashed at about 3,8co-foot level. The bodies of the six victims are in the morgue here today.
 The victims of the crash are: Pilot Steve Mills, veteran flier; MT. and Mrs. George Markle, Mir. and Mrs Lawrence Davis and Augustus Tick, all of Anchorage.
 Mills, Markle and Tick were World War veterans.
