CONFESSION OBTAINED
 FROM KIDNAPERS

NEW YORK, Nov. The dis trict attorneys office announced murder charges will be pressed against four alleged members of the "kidnap syndicate" who are accused of the staying of Arthur Fried, White Plains business man, and the Kidnapping of two Brooklyn residents, who were re leased after ransom payments.
 Officials announced part of a human jaWbone and several teeth still intact were found by police digging in the basement of Ukranian Hall an East Side social establishment, where one of the kidnapers said Fried's body was cremated in a furnace.
 The discovery started a police investigation into the possibility that an additional victim may have fallen prey of the gang. Medical examiners said the jaw bone was that of a person who died recently.
 Fried was kidnapped last Dec eanber 4 and killed four days later.
 
 The confession said that Jos eph Stephen Sacoda, 28, recently sent to Sing Sing for violation of parole, shot Fried to death as he sat bound and gagged in a chair in the basement of the headquar- ters of the gang.
 Assistant District Attorney Joseph Rosenblum said confes- sions were obtained after an all night session of questioning from Demetrius Gula, 30; William Jacknis, 27; John Virga, 34; and

City Council Meets

All members present except KrohloW.
 Minutes of previous meeting not read due to pressure of time in order to allow members of the Council to attend Health Meeting.
 Communication read from Commandant L. C. Covell, U. S. C. G., advising that the same eff ficient service would be main tained in northern Boring Sea waters, even though the North land was withdrawn from ser vice.
 Monthly reports were read from Chief Laws on Police and Fire Department activities. Also monthly report from Ida Spren- ger, Territorial Health nurse.
 Mrs. Emily Boucher and Mrs. L. E. Rynning appeared in be- half of the Home Arts Club of Nome, requesting cooperation from the City by way of permls- sion to prepare a children's play ground on the site of the present school grounds. They advised that their organization had al ready spent considerable over $lOO in graveling part of these grounds and planned to continue improving the property in the way of further graveling, install ing standard playground equip ment, preparing a baseball dia- mond, etc, if the City would take the responsibility of supervising of the grounds when same was completed. The Council accepted the offer of the Home Arts Club and expressed deep appreciation for the work already done by that organization, and further assured the delegation that the City would be responsible for the supervision of the equipment when installed.
 Ed. Anderson, chairman of the Health and Relief Committee, re- ported that he had prepared room in the City Hall for the Health Nurse and had incurred an expense of more than $100.00 for same. This was approved by the Council.
 Bills in the approximate amount of $2,500 were approved for payment. Part of which was $129200 being second payment on the Fire Department tractor.
 MT A. Polet, who was present, suggested that a committee from the Council meet with him Che, being Second Division member of the Alaska Planning CounciD and outline program of gener- al improvements for the city. He would in turn recommend same to his Board and he felt certain he could get a government loan on 50-50 basis for said improve ments.
 Some discussion was had on ideas advanced in favor of city manager plan. g
 There being no further buSi- ness of importance the Council adjourned until Nov. 28th.

The political campaign this
year is developing into a crusade.
The small business men Of the state
as well as the large industrial lead
ers and manufacturers, are rapidly
awakening to the danger of the road
now being taken by the so-called
new dealers" Recently at Aber-
deem approximately 500 small bus
mess men gathered and voiced
their protest against the present
trend of political affairs
There is no question in anyone's
mind, from the governor down, but
that the welfare Of the state today
rests entirely in the hands Of the
people who pay the taxes The small
business man should be the most
vitality interested person in his
community He must become po-
litical conscious and active. In the
long run, it will mean increased
business for him.

LET THE K1DD1Es HELP

We are wondering how many par
ents around Kennewick take their
children into consideration when
they start in making their annual
garden. Somehow many Of us for
get, as we grow older, the things
that gave us happiness in our
younger years. Parents quickly lose
sight of the thrill they used to get
out of a few garden seed and a
few feet of soil entrusted to their
care. Yet, when reminded of it,
they are as quick to realize that
their own children would find the
same privilege equally as thrilling.
So why not, if you have not already
done so, set aside a few packets OF
seed and a certain spot in the gar
den plot for the children. Let them
feel that they, too, are doing some
thing to share the responsibility of
providing the dining table with life
sustaining food? It isn't expensive,
it is far from being waste of
time and anyone who knows the
thrill that comes to a child permit
ted to have hand in garden-mak-

News forecasts regarding rural

apt to be recorded in many sections.

IT'S RELATIVE

NSA~~-~e>
Last week we unwittingly COM
mited an objectionable sin. Over
a very good picture Of an unusually
fine looking group, the K. n. S.
graduating class, we printed In the
headline the word youngsters"
thereby MORALLY insulting the en-
tire group From their standpoint
they are not youngsters, but fun
grown citizens, and it IS good that
they feel that way-now. Later they
will look back at these days and
wonder at their seeming youth.
Youth and age are relative, we have
found out, and it continually
amazes us to note the youth Of each
class as it graduates from our high
school To us they seem to be get
ting younger each year while our
age remains the same To them un-
doubtedly we are in an age that Is
about ready to be put upon the
shelf, doddering oldsters so old
fashioned as to be quite unaware Of
the rapidly moving panorama whiz-
ling by our grayed and bowed heads.
Anyhow, we apologize to the new

ling up its fists to start out and
lick the world.
