TRUCK HUACKED;;
TWO MEN VANISH
Said to Have Stopped in
D. c. Saturday Night.
G-Men Investigate.
BY the Associated Press.


UNION. N. j., July 12.-An inter-
state truck hijacking and the dis
appearance of two men aboard caused
Federal Bureau Of Investigation agents
to join police today in an attempt
to solve the mystery.
The hijacking was disclosed after a
truck and trailer had been found
abandoned yesterday. A check-up by
police showed the vehicle belonged
to the Roadway Express Co. Of New
ark and that q $4,000 cargo of
cigarettes was missing.
Neither the owner, Morris Levine
OF Brooklyn, nor the driver, Patrick
Fitzpatrick Of New York. has been
found and Police Chief Jacob Denk
said the case had some appearances
of . kidnapping" F. B. I. agents
refused to comment.
The truck, police learned, left Alex
andria. Va. with its cargo Saturday
and stopped in Washington. D. c.,
that night. It's destination was New
Brunswick, but it never reached that
city.
Police called in the F. B. I. be-
cause the truck carried Interstate
Commerce Commission plates and was
operating in interstate commerce.
Radio Patrolman Edward Miller
said the Windshield had been smashed
and that the roof Of the trailer had
been sawed open, apparently to per-
nit the hijackers to unload the cargo
without disturbing the burglar alarm
attached to locks on the rear doors.
The drivers wrist watch and wallet
were found in the cab. The trucks
sides had been daubed with green
paint, which covered the company's
name.

The Wrangell sentinel., 1938-09-09

In contrast to the wildly enthus- iastic greeting accorded Robert Tay- Tor, talented movie star. at all other ports of call on his visit to south eastern Alaska last week, Wrangell fans received him quietly, although the wharf was lined with admirers, who waited patiently while his boat was doeked. The greater part of the passengers had gone ashore before Taylor, accompanied by his friend, Don Miloe, Hollywood writer, came down the gangplank.
 Men of great wealth, national importance and distinction pass through Wrangell on various boats all summer long without causing a ripple of excitement except, per haps to federal employees whose sup erior officers are coming through but to Robert Taylor was accorded an interest and thrilled expectation by persons in all walks of life, fal beyond that shown to any other wis. itor here in many years.
 Radio and news reports had tolt that a milling crowd of Vancouver fans watched young Taylor leav' for the north aboard the Princess Louise on the night of August 31st Hundreds stood on the dock befor' the liner sailed, throwing on tn deck anything, shoes or scraps O wood on which the movie acto smaId writs his nama and tass. hack

Under date of July 7th, l sent out a letter to all the Republican l Precinct Committeeman and Women in which l said that during the
 month of August the Republican candidates would charter a boat and make a campaign trip around the
 First Division of Alaska stopping
 at all the precincts. l regret to say
 now that such a trip has not been
 possible. The Republican candidates are all working people, and August and early September is the busy sea son for most of them. Some of them cannot afford the expense of such a
 trip. Each candidate is doing his best to make a campaign under the circumstances. We are using the mails, the newspapers and the radio. and the candidates who are able to do so will get around to some of the precincts
 All the Republican Party's can didates are sacrificing their own time and their own money in this campaign. They have no Postmaster General, no Secretary of the Inter- for, nor even a common Delegate to Congress, touring Alaska on govern ment time and at government ex- pense to build them up. They have no Presidential coat tail to ride to office on. Perhaps they are pre- sumptuous and bold for daring to oppose the New Deal candidates and the New Deal political machine.
 But real Americans have never counted the numbers nor the size of the enemy where American prin-. ciples of Equality. Liberty and Jus tiee are in danger of loss or in-I fringement. Real Americans regard less of the odds against them, will battle as long as free speech is left in this Country to restore the in-I iiYidual freedom We enjoyed beforel the New Deal came along with op-I pressiYe laws, rules and regulations to enslaYe us; debts and taxes toI eat up our substance; labor dis -urbances to interfere with ourl property and employment; Propa- 5anda to regulate our very thoughts md a political machine that has rammanyized America.

Ketchikan fans put on even a more vociferous exhibition of their admiration and in their effort to get glimpse of the star thronged the dock holding up traffic and making it impossible for him to have but short time to see the town.
 It was getting dark when the Louise called in port southbound at Wrangell Tuesday night. Taylor, ac- companied by Miloe, made his way up town and the fans, with the ex- ception of a group of youngsters, followed quietly and allowed h!m to visit the curio stores in peace.
 Those who met Robert Taylor were delighted to find that off the screen he is all and more than they had hoped for. The only surprise oc casioned was that he seems taller in pictures. Tn all other respects ht is better than his pictures. His voice is his greatest asset and that losei in sound transmission. No publicit, seeker, he courteously met all wh' approached him.
 He spoke of the scenic beauty o the Alaska trip, the good weathe that had prevailed with the excep tion of few hours one day, an' said he made the trip to get littl rest between pictures. but plans t come back some day for a long | tour of the Territory.
