introduced by Repres e n tiv G
Harvey Smith at behest of the peo-
pie Of Cordoya, the memorial was
passed and sent to the Senate two
weeks ago Considering it pretty
long winded and dull the Senate
voted to table it.
Cordovans went to work on Sena-
tor Holman, who drew up SINH
lar motion of his own and obtained
unanimous consent to introduce it
under suspension of the rules, as
the last day for introduction of
memorials had passed.
Two days later the Senator from
Seward asked to withdraw the
measure, having belatedly received
from Cordova telegram compli-
menting him for having tabled the
Smith memorial
Saturday, the Senator moved to
take from the table the original
measure. The obliging Senate did.
by vote of seven to one.
The next move is being awaited
breathlessly.

SALVAGERS ARE
OFF FOR CARGO
ON PATTERSON
Party Of Four Leave Today
in Plane for Scene
of Wreck

Showed in amid several hundred
pounds of grub and miscellaneous
equipment including a steel hoist,
the Howard Hayes and Anthony
Thomas salvage expedition left this
forenoon at 1915 O'Clock in the
AAT Lockheed headed for the
beached motorship Patterson near
Cape Fairweather.
In the party besides Hayes are
Conrad Luft and Eddie Martin.
Organized to remove valuable
EQUIPMENT from the wrecked Pat
terson. which went ashore last Dec
ember II, the group will endeavor
to transfer cargo aboard the ship
and transport it to safety for the
insurance money involved
Tentative plan of the party is
to have pilot Shell Simmons land
in -Four Mile Greek which borders
The wreck scene. If this is not fea-
sible the plane will drop down on
Lituya Bay, 80 miles west of the
site and the expedition members
will hike in.
With grub enough for three weeks
the party of four expect to have suf-
ficient time to lower valuable items
onto the shore from the Patterson
and later float them out by raft &c
a vessel standing off shore.
This is the second jaunt to The
scene for Hayes and Thomas a.
they made a quick survey of the
proposition from the gasboat Sultar
last month.
According to Hayes, there is APP
proximately $4,000 of freight ano
machinery for salvage on the YES
sell BY arrangement with the insur-
ance companies rs per cent of the
proceeds from the sale of this mer-
chandise is retained by the salvage
party.
Most of the valuable cargo con-
sists of hospital equipment origin
ally destined for the Anchorage
Hospital in the process of construc-
ton at the time of the accident
The gasboat Sultan under Charles
Smith is scheduled to proceed to the
scene sometime this month with adj
diticnal supplies if needed and also
to take aboard any of the Patter-
son contents which may be available
for shipment at that time.
