MRS. A. HELLENTHAL, MOTHER OF JUNEAU
 FAMILY, DIES IN EAST

Mrs. A. Hellenthal mother of John A. Hellenthal and Theodore Hellenthal of Juneau, and J u d g e Simon Hellenthal of Valdez, died today at her home in Holland Michigan, according to word re- ceived in Juneau today.
 Mrs. Hellenthal, who was 82 years old, had been suffering from cold for the last two weeks, and due to her age had failed to overcome it.
 With her at the time of her death were Miss Gertrude Helen thai, of Chicago, and her daughter, and Walter Hellenthal, son who lives in Michigan.
 Judge Hellenthal now on a float ing court cruise aboard the U. s. c. c. cutter Haida, and Theodore Hellenthal, in Seattle on a vaca- tion, have been notified of their mothers death.
 Mrs. Hellenthal had visited in Juneau several times since her sons came to Alaska, and has many friends here. Her last trip North was made three years ago when she and her daughter spent several weeks visiting other members of her family in Juneau.
 In spite of her advanced age, Mrs. Hellenthal had been leading a busy and active life, interested in her family and friends. Though she had not been well during the past winter, her illness preceding her passing was brief and her death comes as a shock to those in Juneau who were among her friends.

At the time of the bombing there were 37 Americans at the University.

UNION TROUBLES

Pacific Maritime Federation Delegates March Out
 of Convention

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June g. Leaders of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific are fighting to re- store unity after walkout of dele gates when two of twelve voting members went out the the door dur ing the convention now being held.
 Unions called a mass meeting of all San Francisco maritime work CTS as a strategy move, it is said, to win support of Federation rank and file membership of the unions whose leaders bolted the convention because of what was termed an in- sistence upon CIO utilization.
 After withdrawal of four delegates of the independent Sailors Union of the Pacific. two delegates of the Masters, Mates and Pilots Union withdrew.
 This action was taken after the San Francisco local of the Masters, Mates and Pilots voted officially to quit the Federation.
 The Masters, Mates and Pilots Union is an affiliate with the Found ing Unions Federation. The MMP local declared they were severing connections with the Maritime Fed eration of the Pacific because of a refusal of the convention to seat delegates from the AFL longshore- mems union.
 With voting ranks at the conven- ton thinned, Federation leaders moved to open the door to the GIG Alaska Cannery Workers Union, and Shipwrights, Joiners and Caulkers
 Immediate action was delayed be- cause bylaws require a favorable vote by three of the Federation's four Councils

RELIEF MONEY. IN TERRITORY IS
 NOW EXHAUSTED
Negotiations Being Made for Loans to Garry Over
 Until Legislature

The $133,0O0 set aside by the last Territorial Legislature for the re- lief of destitutio3 and further re- lief of needy and indigent has been exhausted and relief payments for the present by the Public Welfare office have been discontinued, it was announced today.
 Gov. John w. Troy, Chairman of the Board of Public Welfare, said today that negotiations were being made with the banks for loans up to $50,000 to care for relief until the Legislature meets again in January The relief demand has fallen off since seasonal employ ment started and it is not expected to be heavy during the summer months. The Welfare office said that actually there were only $50 on the relief rolls in the Territory during May. However, earlier in the spring and during the winter figures mounted to from 1000 to 1900 Juneau with around 250 has the largest demand.
 A total of $193000 was originally appropriatev, by the Legislature for relief. Of this amount, the extra ordinary session set aside $65,000 for school bus transportation, leaving $133,O00. A sum of $403,00 was ap- propriated for old age allowance but no part of this money can be used for direct relief.
 Another source of relief is $5,000 quarterly which is distributed through the four Federal courts of Alaska. This money comes from the Alaska Fund which is made up of business licenses taxes collected in the Territory outside of incorpor- ated cities This fund is apportioned for roads, schools and relief, 10 per- cent being allotted for the latter
 The relief problem at the present time is not unsurmountable, the Governor said, adding that he was satisfied the Welfare Board would be able to care for the situation with the money obtained from the banks.

 $l0,000Ransom

MIAMI, Fla, June 9.-The body of kidnapped five-year- old James Bailey Cash, IT,, was found three minutes after midnight today, a mile from his home at Princeton and inn mediately further search was called off.
 With the gruesOme discOv- cry, Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation agents disclosed they had recovered nearly all of the $1O,0OO ransom money and had a written confession from a suspect that he had collected the ransom.
 The prisoner, Franklin Pierce Mccall, 21, truck driver and son of a minister, was a former tenant in the Cash apartment house.
 Makes Confession
 J. Edgar Hoover, Director of the FBI, announced that Mccall has confessed to writ ing three ransom notes and collecting the money from the kidnapped boys father on a lonely road under glare of headlights. Mccall is said, however, not to have made any admission as to further participation in the crime.
 Sheriff D. c. Colwan said Mccall, without any show of emotion, led him, together with Hoover and a squad of agents, to a dense thicket where the body of the boy had been left without any effort at burial.
 Body Is Found
 Little remained but the skeleton of the little boy and fragments of pajamas the five-year- towhead wore when seized from his bed on May 28 Insects and hot weather are responsible for only the skele- ton remaining.
 It was Mccall who drew Cash's attention to the third ransom note, two nights after the abduction, say ing he had found 1t on the floor of Cash's apartment, and that the abductor had apparently slipped it under the door
 Mccall joined with a volunteer posse at the very outset of the search, hunting for clues over the very ground where the body of the boy and the ransom money was found
