JAIL BREAK AT SITkA
 BUT MAN RE(ApTURED

James Carpenter, 29, of Sitka, was arrested there yesterday and charged with breaking jail an1 with robbery. Carpenter escaped the Sitka City Jaii following his arrest on the robbery charge. Ac- cording to U s. Marshal William T. Mahoney, he was re-arrested by Special Deputy U. s. Marshal who was replacing Deputy Mar shal Rogers while the latter was on hunting trip.
 Carpenter was just recently re- leased from the Federal Peniten- tiary at McNeil Island, Wash, ac- cording to Mahoney. He had been sent there in 1944 to serve a five year term for l940 burglary con- viction. The original sentence carried suspension which was re- voked in 1944. The Marshal is checking with the penitentiary to learn If Carpenter was on parole. He said Carpenter had been con- victed eight times during the past ten years on various counts.

FIVE KILLED IN CRASH
 OF BOMBER
Graft Hits Mountain, Bursts Into Flames Two Men
 Aboard, Survivors,

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 14.-tR- Five men were killed last night in the flaming crash of a B-29 Sup erfortress on Mount Spokane, but two enlisted men survived the &C., cident when the tail section of the plane was knocked loose by trees just before the plane plowed into the ground.
 The two men are Tech. Sgt Mar shall F. Fine, who suffered a probable neck fracture and cuts, and Sgt. Truman w. Haley, who had cuts and lacerations. The condition of both was described as good.
 Three deputy sheriffs suffered severe facial burns two hours af- ter the crash when an explosion roared out from the still burning bomber.
 Frank J. Dunton, Superintendent of Mt. Spokane State Park, said a terrific snoWstorm was raging on the mountain at the time of the accident He said the ship struck about 800 feet from the top of Bald Knob. a promontory on the mountain. The tail section land- ed 300 feet away from the rest of the ship.
 He said the plane caromed along the mountainside and came to a stop only 100 feet from where John Linder, accompanied by Tom Kin sler, was operating a snow blow along the park roads. If the plane had plunged 100 feet farther, he said, it would have hit the two men.
 The two, he said, were scared to death."
 Dunton quoted the two survivors as saying the plane was flying on instruments when it crashed. The ship was from the Spokane Army airfield and was on a routine train ing flight.
 The two men were carried out through 30 inches of snow and then taken to the Mt. Spokane lodge by truck to await arrival of the ambulance
 Dunton said the ship burned violently after the crash and quot ed the two enlisted men as say- ing it had 5000 gallons of gaso- line aboard"
 Two of the more Seriously in- jured deputy sheriffs, M. B.. Mitchell and Dave Keppel, were removed immediately to a Spokane hospital for treatment The third deputy, Robert Browning, remained on the job for time to make pho tographs of the crash.

New York Concern Plans 10 (utTimber Per (onfrad;; To
 Go 10 Courfs If Necessary

NEW YORK, Nov l4.-lR-Rich- ard G. Green, attorney for the Timber Development Corp, said to- day the concern planned to go ahead with it's contract to purchase 20,0OO,000 worth of timber from two Alaskan Indian villages.
 Asked for comment on Forest Service statement in Washington yesterday that the agency would go into the courts if necessary te block the deal. Green said.
 We believe the Indians title tc the timber lands is better thar that of the government. We'll fight it out on that basis. As far as we are concerned, our deal stands"
 c. M. Granger, assistant chief of the Forest Service, said yesterday the Indians would not be permit ted to cut the timber because the Service relieves they have no right to sell it.
 The Service does not believe a l945 ruling Secretary of the Inter- fer Harold L. Ickes that the Indians had established possessory rights to some 300,000 acres of land gives them possession of it, Granger add ed
 The government agency, under recent legislation, is planning to sell the timber rights in the Ton gass National Forest in Alaska to firms wishing to establish large pulp mills there.
 Green asserted flor many years the Indians in this country have been robbed of valuable lands with timber, o!l and other resources. New a group has come along and dealt fairly with them, giving them a contract to make some money out of property that we believe rightfully belongs to them
 The contract calls for the timber to be cut by the Indians and deliv- cred over a five-year period.

BOYLE EXPLAINS
 WHY TERRITORY
 E MONEY SHORT

Responding to many inquiries over the Territory's financial plight, Territorial Auditor Frank A. Boyle today issued partial explanation of the shortage of funds in the Territorial Treasury He said that incoming revenues were consider ably less than had been anticipated by the 18th Legislature and are in- sufficient to meet authorized ex- penses.
 Monthly expenses, said Boyle, amount to $70000 for salaries, S50,- 900 for teachers in Territorially administered schools and approxi- mately S135,000 per month for pay ments to independent and incor- porated school districts for salaries to teachers and other expenses.
 This is total of S255,000 per month which does not include nor nal administrative and overhead expenses and travelling expenses of all government offices. It also excludes the health and welfare program which also brings on a severe drain on the Treasury.
 No accurate estimate can be made of other expenses, Boyle ex- plained, because of the Territorial Board of Administration freeze order which ordered all expenses held down. There is no rule to gauge these expenses which pro- bably run, at the very least, an ad- ditional $50,000 per month.

Big Russian Fishing Fleet Is 0uffiifed, Maybe 10 Operate
 In Waters of Nonh Pacific

SEATTLE, Nov. l4-tR-Rep. Thor Tollefson (R-Wash, chair man of a Congressional Deep Seas Fishing Committee, submitted to Secretary of State Marshall today list of Russian fishing vessels refitted under lend lease at cost in excess of 21 million dollars, the Post-Intelligencer said in a dis patch from its Washington, D. C.. bureau.
 The Congressman then asked about the fleet, the dispatch said:
 ''Is it active in those waters of the Pacific to which our own in dustries rightfully look for a share in developing?
 "Is the Russian fleet active in the Boring Sea area, which has been aditionally American fishing grounds?"
 Tollefson is chairman of the Deep Sea Fisheries subcommittee of the House Merchant Marine and Fisheries committee His com munication listed the names of 18 large craft refitted, and the yards and cost of the work of each, and said that five other smaller ones had also been fitted out, the dispatch said.
 They form the nucleus of one of the most modern and best equipped fishing fleets in the world" he wrote.
 The gross tonnage of most of the cannery and refrigerator vessels in- dividually was about 5000 to 4,000 tons, with the largest having a gross tonnage of 10,079 tons, his communication said.
 He also said he had learned there had been great activity" on the part of the Russians on the north east coast of Siberia, and asked for what purpose it might be.

 War Contracts

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. R- Maj. Gen. Bennett E. Meyers dis closed he has asked for a court martial after Senate investigators developed testimony today that 31,- 053,O00 of wartime contracts went to a firm in which he once ac- knowledged financial interest and later said was owned by friends.
 T..ese developments came in quick succession at the Senate War In- vestigating Committees inquiry into financial affairs of Meyers, war time Air Force Purchasing Officer ::
 Lawrence D. Bell, President of Bell Aircraft Corp, testified his firm awarded $l.o53,000 of subcon- tracts to the Aviation Electric Con- pany, Dayton. Ohio. He said Meyers told him it was owned by his (Meyer's) friends.
 Oliver P. Echols, retired Majoi General and General Meyers i'm mediate superior for many years testified that Meyers told him about 1940" that he owned stock in the electrical company but either had or would dispose of it then.

 The retired general said he made the request to w. Stuart Syming- ton, Secretary of the new separate Air Forces and General Carl Spaatz, Air Force head, two or three months ago.

 MEETS WITH
 LOYALTY BD.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA. = R- President Truman declared today that "disloyal and subversive" em- ployees must be removed from the Federal payroll, but promised that no one will be the object of witch hunt"
 In a statement after his first meeting with the new Loyalty Re- view Board. the President said:
 "Rumor, gossip, or suspicion will not be sufficient to lead to the dis missal of any employee for disloy- alty"
 He added
 They are not being spied upon they are not being restricted in their activities. They have nothing to fear from the loyalty program, since every effort has been made to guarantee full protection to those who are suspected of disloyalty."

The W ashingt ion Merry Go Round
by DSGW PEARSON

Aboard The Friendship Train This train of freight cars which pulled out of Los Angeles recently enroute to New York and Europe represents something basic and im- portant in the American system. Its symbol of the participation of the average American in the for eign policy of his country
 For a long time, foreign policy has been something ethereal and distant which the man in Bakers field or San Bernardino could do absolutely nothing about. He had to leave it to ambassadors abroad, the State Department and the Senate
 All he could do was vote to kick out the Senators and the President who let the country in for a bad foreign policy. But that takes time and in the interim lot of people have stood on the sidelines, feeling helpless, futile, frustrated.

WARRENIS CANDIDATE,
 PRESIDENT
Calf. Governor Throws Hat Into Ring-Iwo
 Reservations

SACRAMENTO, Nov 14.-tR- Governor Earl Warren, only chief executive of California ever to be elected as the nominee of both the Republican and Democratic parties, was a candidate for the Republican nomination for Presi- dent today.
 Warren entered the race with only two reservations. He will not make an active personal campaign and he will not seek delegates in other states.
 Under the circumstances, he told a press conference, he is willing to have his name presented by the California delegation at the Re- publican convention as a candi- date. Further, he told news men. he hopes the California voters will approve the delegation pledged to him.
 Nobody in authority, he said, has proposed to him that he take a second place on the ballot and he would not be interested" in the Vice Presidential nomination if it were rendered.
 Warren's decision had been fore cast except that some of his close associates believed he would not so quickly make up his mind on the question of permitting his name to be entered in the Presidential primaries of other states.
 When he made his announcement however, he had resolved this ques- ton and reached a decision not to compete in other primaries.
 Warren declined to elaborate his reasons but associates said his de- cision was based upon the belief his best prospects of obtaining the nomination rested on the chance he might emerge as the compromise candidate-as a result of dead lock in the convention balloting- and that this possibility would be enhanced if he had not antagonized other candidates by competing with them in their own states.
 A resolution adopted by the Re- publican State Central Committee declared Warren possessed "all at tributes which command respect and confidence, and is eminently fitted in character and accomplish ment, in experience and capacity to fill the high office of President. y
