AIR SEARCH
 |S MADE FOR
 LOST BOMBER

HAMILTON, Bermuda, Nov. IT, R-The biggest peacetime air res cue search in history was under way today for a lost B-29 bomber which ran out of fuel and crash landed in the sea somewhere near Bermuda yesterday. Twenty US. ailmen were aboard. None were from the Pacific Northwest.
 Nearly 100 Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard planes from bases all along the Atlantic seatoard criss-crossed above Bermuda's sur rounding waters hoping for a sight of the stricken bomber or bobbing liferafts.
 First search patrols yesterday afternoon were fruitless.
 The last word from the Super fortress, whose navigation instru- ments failed on flight to Eng land, was a radio message: Going to ditch in five minutes"
 AIter that message yesterday morning US. Coast Guard vessels heard weak sos signals-spuring hopes that the crewmen had taken to rubber life rafts equipped with automatic wireless distress sig nalers.
 The plane, part of a B-29 group enroute to England from March Air Base, California, lost it's way when it's radio navigation equip ment failed and it encountered bad weather. US. officials at Kindley Air Base here thought it probably went down 150 miles southwest oi northeast of Bermuda.

The W ashington Merry Go Round

 LOS ANGELES-It looks like Jimmy Roosevelt is definitely con- ing into his own.
 Once callow youth, flound- ering under the weight of a fa- nous name, Jimmy dealt with al most anybody who came along. At one time he was the political pal of Mayor James Curley of Boston Another time his life insurance sales to Georgie Washington Hill of the American Tobacco Company didn't help the Roosevelt family.
 However, Jimmie is 42 now, and the years have done something to him. He has excellent political judgment. He is careful about friends. And most important of all he is now able to chart straight political course. Jimmy knows what he wants and goes after it.
 One of the most interesting de- velopments about Jimmy Roosevelt is the group of youngsters around him. It is reminiscent of the young Democrats of his fathers day, the young people who would fight and die politically to defend the name of Roosevelt. Those young Demo- crats of 1883 have now put on age, in some cases mould and crust But new generation has come along in california and their adoration of Jimmy Roosevelt is probably greater than that once given his father.
 Jimmie is amazingly popular in California. When he goes into a restaurant, a political meeting or any place where people gather the

BUSINESS. CENSUS NEAR COMPLETION,
 CHAMBER I5 TOLD

Alaska's first business census will be completed at the end of next week, and preliminary reports from the findings will be released shortly after January l.
 This news was given to the Chamber of Commerce at its noon meeting today in the Baranof Hotel by Gene H. Harris, Supervisor ot the Bureau of Census area which includes Alaska.
 He has besn meeting with Bu- reau of Census officials and rep lesentatives of Territorial office, to plan for the population census which will begin next spring.
 He pointed out the unusual pros lems posed by Alaskas great area, saying that business census emu meration had to be carried out by mail in remote areas because Of high cost of reaching outlying business establishments.
 Some of the mailed forms have net yet heen returned, he said. He ''lamed this to some extent on the fact that merchants do not realize that the forms are kept confidential ". the Bureau of Census and fear that information included by them n the forms will be used against them. H
 Information received is confi- dential and can't be used for tax purposes" he said.
 He was enthusiastic about the cooperation promised by Territorial and Federal officials in carrying out the population census. :
 He said that Alaska Native Serv- ice officials have promised that ANS teachers will be available fol use as census-takers. Fish anc Wildlife Service, Territorial Depart ment of Education, Alaska Nationa Guard, and Alaska's Highway Patrol have promised cooperation as well, he said.
 Preliminary report stating the population of the United State. and its possessions will be delivered to President Truman December 1 1850, Harris declared. Final report will not be published until at least IS months after that time, he said
 THREE NOMINATIONS

Benecke were added to the list of six already nominated. Election will be held December S., with further nomina- tions from the floor being accepted at the Chamber meeting December l.
 Resolutions adopted by the Asso- ciated Boards of Tra6e of British Columbia at their annual conven- ton in August and of interest to the Chambers of Commerce of Southeast Alaska were read by Chamber Secretary Herb Rowland

AIR MERGERS WANTED HERE, SAYS JONES

SEATTLE, Nov. 17-lR-In a stop over here on his way to Alaska Harold A. Jones of the Civil Aero nautics Board said the board wants coordinated air route pattern de- Jeloped in the Territory by a series )f mergers as soon as possible.
 But we want merger plans of ntra-Alaskan carriers to come from thc companies,7 Jones ex- olained. We want the certiticated carriers in the Territory to pro- 'ose the arrangements for con ,oiidation and improvement of the
 oute system there."
 Jones said, however, that if the
 ir' lines flying routes within
 Alaska do not propose a coori- hated pattern by merger, the CAE will take steps to smooth out the route situation in the Territory"
 Jones, a Republican member O.. the board, is enroute to Juneau, Anchorage and Fairbanks to meet with representatives of intra- Alaska scheduled air carriers.
 CONSOLIDATION TALK
 Aviation leaders have heard yumors for weeks that the CAB plans to insist on consolidation ot certain Alaskan carriers to elimi- nate weak links in the Territory'S air-route pattern.
 The Board realizes that avia- eion in Alaska is in a different category than aviation in the United States" Jones explained Up there, it's the primary means of communication and travel.
 "Too, commercial aviation has defense and territorial-deyelopment implications" the CAB otticia. said.
 Jones explained that over tho ears a system of conflicting routes md regulations has grown ur -lound intra-Alaskan carriers. Al present., several of the smaller Alaskan air lines are in precarious financial positions, Jones said.
 The CAB official plans to fino put during his Alaska visit if car- 'iers there are entitled to mort mail pay. Mail pay for all of the -ntra- Alaskan carriers at present .otals about s1,5o0,O0O a year.
 Tt will take the CAB years to straighten out the Alaska situa- tion," Jones declared. But we tnow development of aviation in Alaska is important, and we're oing to devote the time necessary to the project"
 Jones said, incidentally, that the examiners report on he extra service to Alaska case is expected to te made public this Several lines are seeking oute extensions into Seattle and other Pacific Coast and Middle West cities.

GIRL SCOUTS GET VALUABLE CAMP
 SITE AT TAX SALE
I ee Hdrbor Property Among 21 Parcels in
 School Dist. Auction

| through the consideration of other bidders at the delinquent tax sale ,his morning, the Douglas Girl Scout Council now owns one of the most desirable camp sites in the channel area. Like the other | 20 parcels of property and mining claims which went on the block today, the tract is subject to being redeemed within two years.
 The instant the former cannery site near Tee Harbor was put up for auction, Girl Scout Council Member Ed A. Peyton jumped up
 I'd offered $1O0, explaining that he and Ed Neilsen made the hid on behalf of the Girl Scouts.
 Although others were known to 1e there to bid on the property, no competing offer was made. h. ormed persons say the tract is ex- tremely valuable, and would have ~lought far higher sum had bid ders not been so cooperative. It includes 9.24 acres.
 The long finger of the property is on the west side of the north nlet above Tee Harbor, facing the mainland and running generally .arallel to the Eagle River Road its protected beach promises fine swimming, and, from the higher port.on of the land, there is a sweeping view across Favorite Channel. The tract, described as J.S. Survey BIT, follows the beach ne for about l,60O feet
 Its gravel beach should make a inc playground as well as swim aing and boating area. and a rark,ing stream runs through tht property. Moreover, Tee Harbor residents say there are no mos
 uitoes!
 The land is about 1000 feet from tho main road. and it is under stood that, should the proposed Girl Scout camp be built, the Scout Council will ask for construction of a side road directly to it. No use has been made of the land for more than 20 years.
 Taxes and accrued costs against he property formerly owned by he Int ternational Fisheries mounted to $l1.79.
 Attorney Robert Boochever rep ..esented the Juneau Independent School District as auctioneer, for the sale of property on which taxes were delinquent. This was the first ,uch sale, and they are to be held annually.
 Taxes for 1949 are held against Il properties and claims sold to- lay, ard all sales are subject to ting redeemed by the previous ,wners. An owner may claim re- -.smption by paying the purchaser he purchase price, plus IS percent CT annum and any other taxes !ad ty the purchaser on the .aoperty.
 If such redemption is not made within two years, the new owners will receive title.
