Is Found Torn
 By Wolves
Story of Tragic Battle with Knife Written in Scat
 tered Bones

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov. l3.-- Christ Kolby, local trapper missing since last spring, was torn to pieces by wolves at Thorne Lake on Prince of Wales Island, according to a searching prty which returned here last night.
 Searchers said Kolbys knife was missing from his holster on his belt, which showed he had used 1t in self defense.
 "At first we wondered why a fully loaded .375 Magnum revolver was still in his holster" searchers said, but upon examination, it was found the handspring of the gun was bro- ken, which it is surmised Kolby must have known.
 Searchers for Kolby's remaining clothes and skull about 50 feet from his coat and knife with the bones of one arm about IS feet from shore in three feet of water.
 Leg and other bones were found within radius of about 75 feet or so in the woods.
 Searchers were unable to find Kolby's boots or shoes. His cloth ing showed he had literally been torn to pieces.

LONDON, Nov. 13.-The reported execution of the former German Crown Prince Frederic Wilhelm by the Nazis is linked in efforts of the Nazi police to solve the attempt ed assassination of Hitler last week in a Munich beer parlor.

Communist Secretary Tells What Would Become of
 American Life

NEW YORK, Nov. 13 = Earl Browder, General Secretary of the Communist party, expanded today on a reference in Boston last week to what he called Americas ripe ness for quick transition to social ism.
 He said he had not been deal ing with the question of how to effect the transition but rather of showing the American people it would be the desirable road
 Opposition political parties, which he said were usually put out of business, probably would meet the same fate as the 13 non-Commun- ist parties which survived the rev. olution in Russia, said Browder.
 They disappeared from the po- litical scene one by one as they took up arms against the Govern ment," he said
 Schools Would Change
 The educational system would follow Communist ideologies before it is adjusted to the needs of the people instead of the capitalists, Browder explained.
 Religion would be purged of most of it's present leaders and teachings in religious institutions which were shown in public debate as not social menace to the new system would survive.
 Industry, national economy, prop erty and profits would be taken over by the Government and ex- banded rapidly.
 The press, Browder said, "is a great industry and therefore it is impossible to think of it continu- ing as it is"
