ALI BABA IN BARN FINDS
 HIDDEN LOOT
Prohibition Squad Hunts Concealed Valve 0pen-
 ing Vault Spirits Found

GUTHRIE, Okla, Nov l.-R-A dry squad in the prohibition state of Oklahoma played Ali Baba for six hours near here last night be- fore finding the "open sesame to a fabulous bootlegger's cave loaded with $53 900 worth of illicit alcoholic treasure.
 The charm was a hidden valve that moved a concealed hydraulic lift in the straf-littered floor of leased barn. The shaft led to a l0-foot deep, 20-by-4o foot ce- ment vault.
 Inside were 496 cases of whis- key worth S4.50 a pint at current Oklahoma bootleg prices, officers said. In addition, there was lavish conveyor system, air com pressors, and set of books.
 The discovery cleared up pug zling point for farmer N. c. Miller, who leased the barn to another man.
 T always wondered why he wanted to spend S4,200 for con- crete floor in that barn." he told the dry squad.

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-tPl-The Post Intelligencer said today that a Washington, D. c. report that a erollD of American capitalists have banded together to purchase the provincially- y-owned Pacific Great Eastern Railway ill British Colum- bia and extend it to Alaska was an old story.
 The paper said that substantial lv the same Alaska and British Columbia development plan had been made public in its columns two years ago and again last March II when the group was curtly re- fused an option on the railway pro- peltv by the British Columbia gov ernment."
 The Wasnington, D. C., report quoted Marshall Ramsey Dlges, Washington attorney for the group, as saying that he hoped within 30 days to announce definite plans, along with the names of his back ers.'
 The Post t-Intelligencer said that the group it referred to was a Del aWare corporation called the Can adian- American Railroad and De- velopment Company and that it had for several years been putting out ''ieelers' and making tentative ap- breaches to the British Columbia government.
 Their plan, the paper said, con- templates expenditure of S20o,O00,- = COO for extention of the railroad to the Peace River country in north eastern British Columbia, and later to Alaska, and for development of coal and agricultural lands in the Peace River country.
 The company has never been able to persuade the British Colum- bia Cabinet. and particularly Pre- mier John Hart, that it is finan- cially ahle to do the things 1t says it can do," the -Intelligencer said.
 The attitude of the provincial government has also consistently been that Canada ought to be de- Yeloped by Canadians,

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON - The most bi- zarre charge of American treason in the history of the war is grad ually unfolding before investigators of the War and Justice Depart mentS.
 Douglas Chandler, who broadcast against his country from Germany, has now been given life sentence. Ezra Pound, the bearded poet who broadcast from Italy. has been locked up in the St. Elizabeths booby hatch. Axis Sally IS still in the custody of the U. S. Army in Germany.
 But meanwhile Lt Martin James Morti of St. Louis, who did sort of Rudolph Hess in reverse, land ing behind enemy lines in Italy, and becoming a member of the elite Nazi SS corps, is still in the U. s. Army.
 His case, for some strange reason, has been bottled up in the War and Justice Departments for months. But now. two years after the war, it is finally being reviewed by highest officials,
 Army records show that It. Mcnti, an Air Corps flier, deserted the U. s. Air Corps 126 Replace ment Battalion, Karachi, India on Oct 2, 1944, hitch-hiking by plane to Italy He then stole P-38 fighter plane, Oct 13,1944. at Pom igliani, and came down behind the enemy lines. When later court mar tialed, Monti claimed that he was shot down. However, investigation after the court-martial showed that he landed voluntarily, and when captured by the Germans told them that he was fighting on the wrong side of the war and wanted to join them.

Metal Skeleton Left; Wings Are Crun1pled
Results of Atomic Bomb Explosions Far Reaching;
 Scientist Makes Statement

, PASADENA. Calf, Nov 1.-'R' Laboratory tests with corn py California Institute Of Technology scientists indicate that radio activity from the two atomic bomb explosions in Japan may re- suit in inheritable defects produc- ing human deformities for the next 1000 years, says Dr. Ernest G. Anderson, Diologist and Pro lessor of Genetics.
 Dr. Anderson. in an interview, announced that the tests were made at the institutes plant genetics garden with corn grown from seeds exposed to last year s Bikini Operations Crossroads. Al though it is impossible to conduct experiments with humans, the same biological laws apply to them as apply to, corn" he said.
 These tests, he said, were the first laboratory confirmation of the theory that atomic bomb ex- posture can lead to inheritable de- fects and revealed that exposure to radioactivity disturbs chromoSomal genes, the inheritance factors in cell tissue.
 Affected genes and chromosomes in some Japanese people may re- suit in the birth of morons, crip- pies and deformed progeny in future generations" said Dr. An derson, adding that the mutations (changes)s did not appear in the first corn plantings, but were of a recessive nature, appearing in the second generation of the plants.

NEW ANGLE, RATE CASE
 TESTIMONY
Violation of Interim Ship ping Agreement
 Charged

SEATTLE, Nov. 1.-tR-A trade route dispute between two Seattle steamship lines was introduced into the Alaska freight rate hearing case yesterday.
 Attorneys for the Alaska Trans portation Company and the North land Transportation Company de- bated admissihility of testimony concerning a separate case in which Alaska Transportation has protest ed that the Northland Company violated" the interim shipping agreement.
 The Alaska Transportation Com pany, in August filed a complaint with the Maritime Commission charging Northland with unauthor- ized" sailings of the freighters Square Sinnet and Sailors Splice on diverted runs to ports in Prince William Sound and OK Inlet.
 Following rate testimony by of- ficials of all three lines, Albert E. Stephan, counsel for Alaska Trans portation Company, sought today to crcss- ss-examine the Northlands gen cral manager, William Semar, over the two protested voyages.
 Objections by Northland attor-, neys, Stanley B. Long and Ira Ew- CTS. to entry of such testimony in- to the rate case records were then upheld by examiner c. w. Robin sen.
 h. other testimony, J. D. Nelson, Alaska Steamship freight traffic manager, testified that excessive cargo pilferage losses" have cut into freight revenues by nearly three percent.

Wreekdge Reported Sedf- tered Far and Wide-
 Burned, Exploded

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Nov 1.-tP A deep snow blanket near the top of Mount Tamgas. on Annette Is- land. hampered seafchers seeking today to recover bodies oi IS per sons killed when a Pan American World Airways plane plowed into the peak last Sunday
 Eight Coast Guardsmen, led by Lieut.. Comdr. F. s. Schreiber, reached the wreckage late yester- day and messaged they had found four bodies, with no survivors. The plane had apparently partly burned and exploded, scattering wreckage far and wide. With improved visi- hility. search planes found the spot earlier yesterday.
 Poss bIe Crash Cause
 A possible cause of the crash was advanced by William L. Baker. edi- tor and publisher of the Ketchikan Chronicle, who said he believed the 3,6l0 foot elevation listed for the peak on charts was incorrect. Ba- ker voiced h.s theory after accom- panying search planes on their flights around Mt. Tamgas. Baker said the altimeter of the Coast Guard plane in which he was living showed 3,400 feet at the level of the wreckage and that the sum- init locmed several hundred feet above, apparently at 4,000 or 4,lo0 feet The crash scene was about six miles from the Annette air field.
 Radio Beam Wavered
 Several pilots had also reported that the Annette Island airport ra- dio beam was wavering Sunday afternoon at the time of the crash, he said. Neither Civil Aeronautics Administration officials nor Coast Guard officers would comment.
 The plane. flown by Capt. Ali N. Mcnsen. veteran pilot, found ex- treme air turbulence over Annette, his last message said and he plan ned to fly on to Juneau.
 Monsen, however, had flown years in the Alaska service and knew the Southeast Alaska terrain well, other fliers said
