Roy and Cass Mathews Un- doubtedly Lost Lives
 Tn Ocean

Like doomed men about to die, Roy Mathews, B, and his brother, Cass. 23, Lituya Bay trappers, ate a hearty meal last October 26, load ed their small boat with most of their worldly goods and pushed off into the Pacific never to be heard from again.
 This is the story brought back to Juneau last night by the relief expedition which left here 10 days ago to seek them in the storm bound country of Lituya. The search party, Capt. Tom Smith and his vessel, Yakobi, Game Warden Douglas Gray, Jack IMcDaniels and Elliott Fremming, reported no trace of the missing trappers, the only clues be- ing a diary kept by Roy Mathews and few articles left at their perm anent base, Three-Mile Camp, three miles north, up the beach, from the entrance to Lituya.
 SeUTCH fOuT DuyS
 Four days in the area by the search party convinced them, they reported, that the Mathews brothers had lost their lives while attempting to make their way in their small 16-foot boat back into Lituya Bay.
 According to best information they, could piece together, Warden Gray said, the two young men, who had been left with their supplies on the west spit inside the entrance to Lituya by Capt. Tom Smith last September l, had decided to move their base up the beach. They first moved to what they called Mile-and- a-Half Camp. From that point they were able to get up creek in there small boat, thus avoiding the open ocean. to Three Mile Camp which they apparently made their perm anent base. Storms came on, the traplines they had put out failed to produce fur and the food. of which they thought they had ample supply, began to run low. In October they decided to make it back to Lit- uya, Gray and Capt. Smith believe, where they hoped to get larger

WASHINGTON, April 2l. - Notes on statesmanship:
 Just-around- -the-corner note: Ul- timately the country may become confident and prosperous by a pro- cess of elimination. A year ago pros perity was held back by the court plan. Now that's out of the way Then it was the wage-hour bill. And that seems to be canned for a while The taxes on undiStributed profits and capital gains held us back but now the Senate has taken the first step toward eliminating them. More recently the reorgani- zation bill was responsible. But Con- gress has put that away. Soon nothing will stand in the way ex- cept those darn adverse economic influences.
 Emphasis note: The Department of Justice building, with it's steel and glass corridors, is as quiet as a tomb. Yet in one corridor, where G-man Hoover teaches stealth to up-country policemen, is this sign. Quiet please. School in session. 7

 James Stevens, son of Henry Ste vens, had left the house only fif- teen minutes before. Hearing the shot, and seeing the terrified young ster rush from the house crying for help, Stevens entered to find baby Clara shot,
