 Stormy Weather
 On the route from Ketchikan Lon Cope had reported stormy weather during the latter half of his trip from Petersburg to here. Radio schedules were maintained on a basis of five-minute intervals.
 Five minutes previous to Cope's last message Pilot Shell Simmons of the Alaska Air Transport here took off from Juneau for Ketchikan with load of passengers after es- tablishing flying conditions relayed indirectly to his station here from Cope.
 At 2:15 o'clock, Simmons was ap- proximately in the vicinity from which Cope was last heard. He did not see the plane. At. point off Point Arden he ran into a heavy squall which forced him to turn westward and fly down Seymour i Canal on the inside of Glass Pen ! insula. Proceeding on to Ketchf- kan he landed there at 4:l0 O. clock, reporting heavy tail wind i throughout the flight.
 He is endeavoring today to take off from the latter city to aid in the search but is being held there by unfavorable weather.
 Tony Schwamm of Petersburg Airways will fly to assist in the search as soon as weather lifts.
 A ground searching party left Ju- neau this morning trailing rumor of motors heard over the south end Of Douglas Island by two high school youths, Oswald Osborne and Bud Fields early yesterday after noon
 The boys, hiking between Thane and DuPont, heard the engines at a time approximated by Oswald as being l:2O in the afternoon.
 Members of the land party equipped with skis are Ln Liston, Ralph Moreau. Ralph Merrill. Bert Caro, Ernie Parsons, Jay Williams, and Irv Noble, No word had been received from them at late hour today.
 Cope had opportunity to travel nearly five minutes between 2:15 o'clock when he was last heard, and 2;20 o'clock when he was scheduled to be heard again. Where this would place him is a question of wind and speed but every foot of waterline will be searched and land parties will go out to cover the various islands and other land bodies.

 IN BLOODY HARLAN
Restrict Company Police, Civil Liberties Men
 Say in Report

WASHINGTON. Feb 13. - The Senate Civil Liberties Committee today recommended legislation to stop labor spying and restrict the activities of company police.
 The Committee, headed by Sena- tor LaFollette, was sharply criti- cal of the activities of police em- ployed by the Republic Steel Cor poration and Harlan County, Ky, Coal Operators Association.
 The Committee said experiences in Harlan County industrial com munities and where Republic oper- ates indicate clearly that where private police systems are used as instruments of anti-union policy they abridge and violate civil hber- ties of workers and other individu- als and violate the rights of labor guaranteed by Federal statutes. The result is bloodshed causing the loss of life and injury to persons, de- struction of property and endanger- ing of public safety"

Burning Books in China
John Hix

order seems to have been worded
something like this:
"All people in the country must
give up their books, except those
which are about farming, medicine,
drugs or magic"
Men were sent from house to
house by public officers and gathered
books which dealt with other sub
jects than those named. Then the
books were taken to certain places
and burned.
The chief loss was in books Of his
tory. Hundreds Of volumes which
told about past emperors were fed
to the flames.
Happily, some persons in China
hid the history books they owned.
If they had not kept such books the
Chinese would know little about
their country in early times.
Shih Huang I'll was emperor for
36 years. Soon after his death a
revolt broke out against the So
called second emperor" who took
his place. The second emperor was
slain and the House of Han came
into power. Emperors of the House
of Han let the people bring out their
hidden books.
