CIVIL WAR BANK
 ACCOUNT FOUGHT
$2OO Deposit Has Increas- ed to $500; Man Says
 Father Owned It

Providence, R. T., Feb. 25.-(UP) Superior Judge Patrick P. CTran's decision was awaited today in the case of 8 Brockton, Mass, steam filter who claimed $3SOO-the prin- cipal and interest of a $200 bank ac- count started 30 years ago.
 William Lawrence Connolly, 61, brought his family and a handwrit- ing expert to court to prove he was heir to the account he contends was left by his father, 8 Civil War pen- Sioner of Fall River, Mass.
 In June 1859 a man entered the Providence institution for savings and started an account by deposit- ing $100 in the name Lawrence Connolly, 70 Charles street" In May 1860 he deopsited another $100. That was his last appearance.
 A half century later the account that had grown with interest to $1700.20 went into the states general treasury for lack of a claimant. An other 32 years elapsed before Will liam Lawrence Connolly made his claim of being the depositor's son.
 William l.. Drummond, New Ro- chelle, N. r., handwriting expert testified the signature on the ac- count and on the pension vouchers of Lawrence Connolly were the same.
 Asst. Atty.-Gen. Guillaume L. Parent opposed the claim, contend ing the signature comparison incon- elusive and that evidence that Will liam Connelly's father once lived in Providence before going to war was largely hearSay.

 Mrs. MacFadyen is the widow ot John Martin Graham, Baltimore financier, who died in 1919. She was believed to be at one of her Palm Springs homes.

TWO NAVAL SCOUT
 BOMBERS LOST
Officials Say 2 Machines May Have Locked Toe
 gether, Crashed

San Diego, Cal, Feb. 25.-(UP)- Ships and planes searched today for two missing naval scout bombers as fears grew that they had locked to- gether in flight and crashed into the | Pacific.
 Officials at North Island naval station here announced that the ships had been missing, since last night and refused to comment fur ther. A spokesman added, how ever, that the light bombers were land planes, not equipped for sea landings, and carried two men each "a pilot and radio operator. Names of the crewmen were not an- nounced.
 The search began through last nights intermittent rain and heavy mist after two youths near Carls- bad, Cal, 30 miles north of here, called Oceanside police with 8 re- port that they had seen a plane power dive into the surf, with its motor wide open".
 The sea was rough, they said, but between swells they could see flares for almost an hour. William Carey, night desk sergeant of the Oceanside police, said that two investigators he sent to the shore also reported flares still burning an hour after the reported time of the crash.
 Whether the flares were lighted after a forced landing or were dumped from the plane before it crashed was not known.
 "As far as I know there's only one plane down around here. unless two of them went down locked to- getller," Carey said.

 Censorship of Event
 Circumstances of the death of one of the worlds greatest medical scien- tistS were obScured by censorship, but it was revealed that he was on a war mission. Dean c. J. Macken- zie, acting president of the National Research Council, said at Ottowa, Ont, that Sir Frederick was engaged in work "as great, if not as spectacu- lar, as his discovery of insulin," which is saving the lives of countless thou sands of diabetics throughout the world.
 "The story can't be told now, but 1t will be great story after the war;" Mackenzie said.
 Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie King told the House of Commons at Ottawa that Sir Frederick was Ion a mission of the highest national and scientific importance"
 Research in Poison Gas
 Sir Frederick was known to have been doing research in poison gas, as we'll as in problems connected with air fighting, such as the pre- vention of air sicknes, overcoming the spells of unconsciousnss that pilots suffer in bringing their planes out of power dives, and use of heart palliatives for high altitude flying.
 Government circles in Ottawa un- Gerstood that Sir Frederick had found a way virtually to nullify any use of poison gas by Germans in their eX- pected spring attack on the British Isles and that he was speeding there to put it into practice. It was as- stunned that his formula was known to others, and was not lost with his deatta.
 Dean Mackenzi said British re- searchers had visited Canada recent ly in connection with Sir Frederick's work and that many valuable ideas" had been exchanged.
 Trip a Quick One
 Macknzie said Sir Frederick'S trip was to have been "a quick one-a month or six weeks"
 Killed with Sir Frederick were the planes navigator, William Bird of England, and William Snailham of Bedford, N. s.
 Air searchers sighted the planes wreckage in 8 snow bank near the settlement of APO persons, and as- certained from message written in the snow that at least one of the planes occupants survived. Planes equipped with skis quickly reached the scene and sent out first details of the accident. The three men were said to have been killed instantly.
