American Physicians
jailed in Vienna
Take Appeals
Brothers Here Ask Stute
Department to Assist
Mount Rainier Man

Two American physicians-Dr
Oscar Lavine, 80, of Mount Rainier
Md, and DR.. Michael George Albert
Of New York-have appealed prison
sentences imposed in Vienna for
violation Of the German currency
laws, the American consulate In
Vienna reported today.
DR.. Lavine's three brothers also
have asked the State Department to
aid him.
John Morgan, American consul,
and Theodore J. Hohenthal, vice
consul, attended the trial.
DR.. Harold H. Lavine, Leonard
Lavine and Isadore Lavine, an at
torney, all of whom reside in Mount
Rainier, made the plea to the State
Department to intercede in their
brothers behalf.
DR.. Lavine. a graduate of George
Washington University, who was do
ing advanced study of medicine in
Vienna when arrested, was given
months imprisonment without hard
labor and fined 10000 marks
$24, ,0O0-or, alternatively, two
months extra imprisonment.
Another Convicted Also.
DR.. Albert, who was in Vienna on q
similar mission, was convicted along
with DR.. Lavine and was sentenced
to one years imprisonment at hard
labor plus a fine of 10000 marks
or, alternatively, two months extra
imprisonment
An Associated Press dispatch said
that in both cases time already
spent in prison will be deducted
from the sentences. In DR.. Albert S
case this would be nearly four
months. The two were arrested
about August Is, but DR.. Lavine
later was released on $4,000 bond.
Both men reserved the right to ap-
peal.
Exast nature of the charges
against DR.. Albert and DR.. LAvine
was not disclosed during the months
they were detained. Following theip
arrest it was said the public prose-
cutor would have to determine
whether they would be tried in
court or released after paying fines
usually imposed for minor currency
o1enses.
The two defendants were trans
ferred from police headquarters at
Vienna a week after their arrest
and were taken to the Criminal
Court.
It was reported then that they
were well treated and officials of the
State Department in Washington
said they were keeping in close
touch with both cases.

dents pleading for word as to Pre- mier Hepburn's fate and where abouts
 Some services offered bonuses to the first flash" and other services pressed aircraft into the hunt.
 PAA Was To Search
 When word that the Hepburn party was missing was first re-" ceived on the Outside, J. T. Trippe, President of Pan-American Air ways, in New York. personally in- structed Joe Crosson, Manager of Pacific Alaska Airways, to organ ize an air search, sparing no effort to be of assistance in helping to To- cate the missing Canadian private plane with the Premier aboard.
 Trippe also advised Crosson to cancel or modify any PAA schedule of flight to the extent necessary be- tween Whitehorse and Juneau.
 Had Joe Crosson been needed in the search, that famed pilot would have brought into the hunt many years of experience in the North and an intimate knowledge of the section.
 Crosson was in Fairbanks today, and prepared to take off when the word came out that Hepburn was safe.
 In Juneau, news service represen- tatives were reused out of bed early this morning by rush" telegrams to find Hepburn"
 NEG Broadcast
 The National Broadcastjng Cor poration went to real expense in at tempting to scoop the world with Hepburns own verbal story of what had happened, by enlisting KINY cooperation in Juneau and charter ing Alaska Air Transports Lock heed for rush flight to Carcross.
 Taking an Empire reporter along, c. B. Arnold, Manager of KINY and " l. Kraft, Construction En- gineer for the station, left Juneau at 11:15 this morning for Carcross with authority, it was said, to broadcast Hepburn's and his com panions' stories through the radio telephone hookup of Simmons plans. The broadcast was to be picked up here by KINY and then rebroadcaset again to San Francisco and the NBS network
 Forty miles out of Juneau, going up the Taku River, Shell Simmons, Pilot, was told by radio that Hep burn and party had left Carcross. for Skagway. Turning back to Ju- neau on receipt of that news, wea- ther reports of rough seas in Skag- ways harbor kept the party here, although plans were to intercept the Premier at Skagway.
 Late this afternoon. just before press time, Shell Simmons was to take off again in the Alaska Air ! Transport Lockheed with KINY Manager c. B. Arnold and Con- struction Engineer V. I. Kraft in an attempt to land on Lower Lake ! Dewey at Skagway and gain an interview for NEG with Premier Hepburn
 Weather reports from Skagway indicated waters in the harbor were too rough for landing, necessitating the landing in the towns reservoir
 It is said that if Shell succeeds i in putting his plane down on the reservoir, it will be the first time that feat has ever been accom- plished
 Shell said before taking off: T think I can put you down there, ! but I don't know if I can take off"

CzechosIovukion Drumu

The entire world is watching with tense interest
the drama being enacted in Czechoslovaka, the
tiny republic created by treaties of the last World War
This information, facts about the country, its pop
ulation and the dispute compiled by the Associated
Press may be of Interest,"
The Country: Czechoslovakia was formed De-
tober &C. 1918 from parts of Bohemia Moravia Silesa
Slovaka and Ruthenia which before the under
the Austro- Hungarian empire.
Population: $4,000 900 including nearly 5000, 900
Czechosovaks, $500, 900 Sudeten Germans named
live smaller groups Of Poles Magyars Ruthenians and
other minorites.
Area: $4,000 square miles. The Sudeten Germans
live in perhaps 1-2Oth of this area but the Sudeten
regions form the border with Germany.
The Dispute: The Sudeten Germans wanted to
become part of Austria at the end of the World War
Now extremists among them want to join Germany.
The formal demand of the Sudeten German party is
for independence in local government at least. The
Sudetens claim the Czechoslovaks have not fulfilled
World War treaty pledges to protect interests of the
German speaking minority.
The Czechoslovak government vows it is willing
to grant all reasonable demands 1t has offered to
tablsh local cantonal governments. Three would be
German-domnated and include about 20000 900 of the
$500 600 Sudetens The Czechoslovak government
fused to renquish control of foreign affairs financial
and military policy
The Czechoslovak government has made every con-
appetite of the god Hitler to her independence
and her well beloved freedom.
She stands alone, the one remaining democracy
in Europe about to be stripped and torn apart Eng
land and France, bound by treaty to to her aid
in event she attacked, have forsaken her because
they are not prepared to fight.
Czechoslovaka is stark tragedy.

Duront Buy Now" Week

Next week September 26-October /, has been de-
signated as "Durant Buy Now for Better Business
Week.
It is well know fact that sales create jobs When
goods are moving fast there plenty OF jobs Tor
everyone Comes halt in sales and everything comes
to q standstill.
The cycle of buying is like revolving wheel You
make purchase today from your grocer and tomorrow
he buys suit of clothes from you; your trade with
every local business is direct aid to the rail-
road that employs you When sales stop business houses
cease to buy. The railroads decline in business
men are off, People lose their purchasing power
AS long as we able bodied we should buy to the
best of our ability the things need and want and
thus part in keeping the channels OF trade ac
tive; in effect keeping jobs safe.
If every citizen of Durant able to buy the things
he needs and wants would go into the various loca!
stores and supply himself would be such revival
of business as we have not in long time. Every
business house and individual would feel its results
And we'd have prosperous thriving town.
During the next week we hope our readers will heed
the BUY Now and supply their needs for the
winter. Sales make jobs. BY helping your neighbor
you help yourself

Legion Advertises State

Word comes from the west coast that Mississippis
delegation to the national convention of the American
Legion again stole the show this year as they did last
year in Ney York. We quote:
Public acclaim of the Mississippi floats and musical
units so great that at many points the entire line
forced to to halt admirers closed in on the
Magnolia State delegation High Legion officials
termed Mississppis triumph being greater than
New York.
LOS Angeles newspapers and radio stations,
red full page spreads and hour-ong programs devoted
solely to Mississippi floats drum majors, bands loco
motives, and marching delegations, freely admitting
that again Mississippi had stolen the show.
We are glad that the Mississippi unit of the Amer
Legion had the honor for the second consecutive
year to lead the long parade which took full day to
pass in review This honor achieved because the
unit received the highest percentage of enrolment
in the United States
1t will take many instances of advertising
like this before Mississippi will have the entire world
informed of her progress. 1t will take time but
progressive citizen of the state will stop until the story
is told.
