played his spade J, with the feel

and might by some slight chance
set up a trick in his partners

his partner later captured a trick

have fallen under North's two top

Being able to win one trick in

swung around broadside so that
the camera was offered an unob-
structed view. and we saw an awe
inspiring sight: on the screen was
the tortuous black funnel of a
tornado, twisting and weaving its
way slowly, inexorably along.
In some confusing manner the
black cloud. instead Of diminishing
in size as the powerful engine
pulled the ship directly away from
it, was growing steadily closer to
the tail of the ship.
It was some seconds before we
realized what was happening, un.
til someone cried out hoarSely,
my God! He's being drawn into
it tail first!"
And as we watched, the fabric
whipped off the tail surfaces and
disappeared. A moment later the
skeleton of the rudder followed,
and the last thing we saw on the
screen was a moment of intense
blackness, followed by a binding
flash.
With that film ended the last
trace of Jerry Baxter. By some
queer quirk of the tornado not a
vestige of the plane or its ill-fated
pilot, other than the camera, has
ever been recovered.

~ the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt transmitted to
Congress yesterday program for the
.long-range development Of Alaska.
Regional planning formed the back
bone OF the plan. drafted by the Ma
tional Resources Committee at the re-
quest Of Congress.
Other recommendations included
the simpliflcation Of the territorial
Governmental and taxation systems.
construction OF roads and trails, ex-
pansion OF the air service, protection Of
the salmon fisheries and Improvement
Of labor conditions.
Long Time Problems"
The committee held regional plan
ming essential to orderly development
because it would be "a long time prob
lem and plans would have to change
to suit changing social conditions"
1t added studies disclosed national
interest did not demand forced de-
velopment of Alaska. nor was there
an imperative need for a costly de-
fense program.
There is no pressure of population,
lack Of raw materials or trade in the
United States that demand exceptional
measures" it wrote.
Farm Development Waits.
The committee also discounted the
future Of Alaska as an agricultural
Country-at least until more indus
tries developed. In the latter cate
CORY, the committee saw possibilities
for pulp and paper mills.
The committee stressed need for
better communication and transport
systems, but did not recommend the
building of railroads and first-class
highways for anticipated future needs
prior to the formulation Of general
plans for the development Of the
territory"
