ablaze and coated With ice.
 Reports from Southeast Alaska last night indicates one or both of the planes may have circled over the small fishing villages of Kla- wock and Craig, on Prince of Wales Island some 60 miles west of Ketchi- kan. Time of the labored dronings of the plane or planes was estab- lished as about an hour before the final distress messages from the missing ship.
 Prince of Wales Island is about 100 miles north of the Queen Char lotte area where the plane is be- lieved to have ditched
 Capt. Harold L. Barry, 30, of Hillsboro, H., was the pilot.
 More Details
 The tragic crash of search plane killed eight men today just as off cials announced two slender clues in the widespread hunt for a big B-36 bomber that vanished off the wild British Columbia coast with IT aboard.
 The search plane, a B-29, crashed and burned near Great Falls, Mont. Seven crewmen escaped.
 One clue in the B-36 hunt was ominous; the other faintly hopeful. Both were of uncertain importance. Search headquarters announced a Navy plane sighted a large oil slick yesterday in Hecate Strait in Queen Charlotte Sound. This is the general area where the B-36 messaged be- fore midnight Monday it was com ing down with an engine afire and wings iced.
 At least six vessels were dis patched to investigate. But officials said the oil slick was in shipping lane where such traces are common, and there was a strong possibility this one was caused by vessel. The Coast Guard said another pilot had sighted an oil slick around a boat in the same general search area earlier yesterday. M
 Wireless Signal
 The other clue was a wireless sig nal heard for an hour and half after the B-36 made it's last radio contact.
 Col. Cecil Scott. spokesman at Carswell Air Force Base at Fort Worth. Tex, where the big plane was bound on training flight from Alaska, said the signal was "a con- tinuous tone-as though somebody had tied down the key of wire less set"
 Search officials at McChord Air Force Base, Wash, declining to be quoted by name, expressed the opinion crewmen of the B-36 may have locked the wireless key in closed position, put the plane on automatic pilot and then bailed out.
 They said that if this was cone the plane could have flown a con- siderable time, giving out the signal, before it finally crashed.

Goose Not DeVoiee Of Iron Curtain, FW5
 Band Return Shows

Indications that the Black Brant goose, thought to winter behind the Iron Curtain after spending the summer months in Alaska, were dispelled today-to a minor eX- tent-by return of a band from San Louis Obispo, Calf
 The Fish and Wildlife Service last summer banded 382 of the honkers in the Yukon Kuskokwim area. The birds were believed to have gone southeasterly rather than westerly when the snows fell, but the return of the lone band-only one so far-indicates perhaps they winter in California, after circling eastward.
 The goose was banded by Davis L. Spencer, Wildlife investigator on July 30, ard was shot November l8.
 The information was one Of sev- eral dozen reports received by Ur- ban c. Nelson, leader of federal aid to wildlife in Juneau, from the, Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel, Md, where all band infor- nation is gathered.
 A return was received from Neb- raska on a pintail duck banded in the Colville River area of the Arctic coast this summer, first such work done that far north. Nelson banded 35 pintails last July, and the return is the first received on the small "sampling" of bands. The duck was shot November 13. | Most returns are in regard to pintails banded in the Iditarod- Innoka Rivers area, all of which came from California.
 Papa Goose
 A nine-year-old Lesser Snow goose was shot November 6 in Tule Lake, Calf. after carrying 3 band since July IT, 1940, which was applied to hlm on the MIG Kenzie River Delta by c. E. Gill; ham, who preceded Nelson with the Service.
 These geese are known as hearty flyers, able to make California from the Delta area with only one CT two stops for rest. The hunter was Carl Fahle of Red Bluffs, Calf.
 Five cackling geese, banded in the Yukon -Kuskokwim area, were shot in Oregon last season, the re- ports show They were banded by Spencer and Edward F. Chatelain.
 A copy of the report is sent to the hunter who reports the shoot ing and sends in the band, one copy goes to the state or province where the hird was felled, another to the bander and another to the Wildlife Service office in the area concerned.

FLYING TOOTH
 RULERS SOAR:
 PATIENTS ROAR

The Alaska Native Services large and diversified operations uncovered a new one this week with the arrival in Juneau of a team of flying den- tists.
 Usually, it's the patients that fly but the situation is reversed in this case according to Dr. James T Googe, head of the Services medical division.
 Dr. Parvin Murray and Miss Georgianna Smith, his assistant are completing a trip to three na- tive schools in Southeast Alaska the first such dental work done since 1942.
 They visited the Plus x Mission in Skagway. the Haines House and the ANS school in Klukwan.
 Their regular base of operations is at Mt. Edgecumbe School and hospital. They left there January Is with drills, polishers and the things which make 'em scream, and they managed to treat hundreds of would-be toothaches and to drop many suggestions on the care of teeth.
 According to ANS officials, it is next to impossible to establish den- tai facilities available to all in Alaska, but it is possible to make trips to isolated communities, offer ing dental care and education on care of teeth.
 The Alaska Department of Health maintains a similar service, with several ships and barges which carry medical and dental facilities to out lying communities in the same man. ner, making regular Voyages to give care to those unable to visit large center to have work done.

 In Washington observers said the interesting part of the new treaty is what it does not say, rather than what is committed to paper.
 The published agreements are si- lent on reported Chinese desires for planes and ships to send against Nationalist held FormoSa
 Cuts U. S. Policy
 The published version appears to be an attempt to cut the ground from under any American policy toward China based on hope of conflict of Soviet Chinese interest over North China, and particularly Manchuria.
 Diplomatic authorities in Wash ington are convinced the docu- ment made public do not repre- sent the extent of agreement reach ed Tn the long talks DeUWeeH fllue Minister Stalin and Red China's leader Mao tZe-Tu1g.
 In Tokyo observers expressed sur prise ever the comparatively small loan Russia is making her new ally. It is only fraction of the amount China needs for machinery and supplies to rebuild her war shattered industries.
 Chinese Nationalists on Formo- sa said secret terms of the new treaty provide that Chinese Com munists take the leadership of Communist aggression in southeast Asia and Russia is to get secret naval and air bases in China.

Kefauver Convinced
Al Capone's Power
Lives After Him
Syndicate Operating In
Chicago and Elsewhere,
Crime Prober Believes
BY the Assoeioted Press

CHICAGO, Oct. T. Senator
Kefauver declared today his in
vestigators have found that Al
Capone's power did not die with
him in 1947.
I'VE think we have found strong
evidence that the Capone syndi-
cate is still operating here and
in other parts of the country,
the chairman of the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee said in
a recess of the Chicago phase of
his inquiry into Nationwide
crime.
There is evidence of gangsters
muscling into legitimate busi-
nesses, and of political ties be-
tween gangsters and politicians of
both parties" the Senator added
"Scarface Al' Capone lorded
over Chicago's underworld in the
freebooting, free-shooting prohibi-
ton era of the 1920s and 1930s,
Unlike many who got in his way
of hijacking, alky-cooking, boot
Logging, vice and gambling, Ca
pone died in bed. Disease did
what hired thugs couldn't ac-
complish.
Convinced Malta Exists.
Since Thursday Senator Ke-
fauver and his staff of crime hun
ters have been holding secret hear
ings in the Federal Building. For
a great part his subpoena list is
roll call of old Capone mob.
His questioning of two Los An
geles figures today, he said, con-
vinced him there is a Malta in
operation at present. The Malta
is an o-Sicilian born secret
society of loose organization that
specializes in extortion and deals
out it's own punishments.
The Senator said John RoSselli,
Hollywood movie producer, once
sent to prison for shaking down
movie moguls, and John Dragna,
a Sicilian alien now of Los Angeles,
both told them they know people
in the Malta.

Mystery Explosion
StirsLynchburq
BY the Associated Pres,

LYNCHBURG. Va, Oct. IA
nigh altitude thunderstorm of un-
usual violence was given as the
possible explanation for a mys-
ferrous explosion above this city
tonight at $50 o'clock.
The blast caused near conster-
nation. Police and newspaper
sWltchboards were flooded with
calls but the point of explosion
could not be located at midnieht
George Kornbrust, Weather Bu-
reau employe at Preston Glenn
Airport, reported that at the exact
moment of a sharp blast he had
been peering at the overcast with
his wife looking for stars,
Il saw the overcast light up he
said, followed by a thunderous
crash. A few minutes later I saw
lesser flashes and it seemed to me
a high electrical disturbance Of
unusual proportions must be 60

In seeking an explanation, some
suggested there might have been
an explosion along the big natural
gas pipeline being laid from Texas
to New York. However, State po-
lice discounted this.
DIR. John G. Mahan, a biologist
at Lynchburg College, said there
might have been a minor earth
quake but thought it unlikely.
Second, he said it might have been
q meteorite. Such body GER
talnly would have produced a
shock, he said. The tremor, he
thought, came from within the
earth, not in the air.
