vigil, wives of five crewmen
aboard the crashed B-29 “Clob
bered Turkey” waited hopefully
this morning for word that the
four known survivors had been
identified.
Since the heartening report was
received late Saturday that four of
the eight men aboard the super
fortress had been sighted along
side their wrecked craft 95 miles
north of Nome the five women
have scercely budged from their
telephones.
Authorities at the air forces’
Ladd Field here have promised
they will be the first to know the
fate of the other four members of
the crew and condition of the sur
vivors.
Three rescuers already know,
but have been unable fo report to
planes cii-cling overhead. They1
are Capt. Aiken Mays, air forces
doctor from the Nome base, and1
two paratroopers who dropped to!
the side of the cnxmpled B-29 Sat-1
urday night. A radio taken with
them and another ’chuted down
Sunday have failed to function.
Harrowing as the weekehd wait
has been for the five wives, it has
been brightened by the new hope
kindled after four days of anguish. ]
Their grief began Christmas Eve'
when the Clobbered Turkey fail
ed to i*eturn from a long l'ange
training flight.
Twice before Mrs. Euiah Arnett
has suffered the tension of know
ing her husband’s life was in dan
ger. Lt. Vern H. Arnett, pilot of
the ill-fated superfortress, was at
the controls of the B-29 ‘‘Kee
Bird” which was forced down in
northern Greenland last February, i
Two months earlier another B-29
he was piloting crashed and burn
ed at Ladd Field, but all of the
crew escaped unharmed.

Govt. Gamblers
Being Published
WASHINGTON, (/P) — Officials
of the agriculture department said
Saturday they hope to include in
their next public listing of com
modity traders the names of 71
federal, state and local jobholders
who have been speculating in
wheat. It may be ready this week.
A new list of 1,240 persons ac
tive in wheat futures in Chicago
on April 30, 1946, was made avail
able Friday night, but like the 711 :
names given out earlier in the
week it provided no sensation for
Congressional investigators.
Out of the total of 1,951 names
the only one recognizecf as a gov- i
ernment official has been Edwin
W. Pauley, special assistant to the
secretary of the army, who al
ready had disclosed his trading ac
tivities at a hearing of the Senate
appropriations committee.
Pauley said he had something
thing less than a million dollars in
, commodities when he took the
| government job but was disposing
* of his holdings, as he had agreed
1 to do.
Pauley’s name was on a list of
big traders as of Oct. 31, 1946, and
Oct. 1, 1947, which was made pub
lic last Monday. Reporters scan
ning Friday night’s tabulation of
names for government officials
drew a blank. Only four traders,
all small, gave Washington addres
ses. One was a navy lieutenant
commander with 10,000 bushels.
WASHINGTON, OP)—Secretary
of agriculture Anderson today re
leased a list of 99 public officials,

tion 2 of the Intercoastal Shipping
Act, 1933; and that no violation
of law by any of the other re
spondents is shown.”
On the basis of figures for 1946,
the examiner has stated the net in

who he said, were speculating in
grain last September. The list in
cluded a Gen. W. H. Graham and
Gov. H. B. Maw of Utah.
Graham was reported to have
held 30,000 bushels of wheat on
the "long” side of the market and
20,000 bushels on the short side on
September 17.
He also was reported to have
sold 10,000 bushels on September
19.
Governor Maw was listed as
having held 5,000 bushels on the
long side of the market on Sep
tember 17 and to have sold the
| same amount on September 18.
Those on the “long” side of the
market believe prices will go
higher and accordingly buy grain
for future delivery. Those on the
“short” side believe prices will go
down. They sell for future deliv
ery, hoping to gain by a price de
cline.
