Investigate Lobby

On Public Utilities Hold

CHARGES LOBBY
House Committee Plans On
Investigation Into Lobby
Charges Made House
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 3, — While
the Roosevelt forces in the senate
offered to compromise on the death ,
sentence for public utilities holding
companies, the House Committee
prepared to start next Monday on
a broad inquiry into “lobbying”,
for and against the provision.
The lobby investigation was touch
ed off by the accusation of Repre-1
sentative Brewster of Maine, who j
said that Thomas Corcoran, R. F. C.
attorney and author of the utilities
bill, threatened to halt the power
project in Maine if Brewster voted j
against the death sentence advocated
by President Roosevelt. The in- j
quiry is expected to provide some
hot clashes between legislators. [
SUBMERGED AIRPLANE
BEN EASLEY IS FOUND;
SEARCHING FOR BODY
A telegram to the U. S. C. G. Northland today from the
U. S. Commissioner Walter Dowd at Kotzebue contained
the information that the Curtis Robin plane of the Roust
Airways, piloted by Ben Easley was found Tuesday by Arc
hie Ferguson, about 1,000 feet off shore near the Cape Blos
som Shoals, approximately twelve miles south of Kotzebue.
Archie Ferguson was out in his power boat in the fog
which enveloped Kotzebue Sound, looking around for the
S. S. Baldwin of the Arctic Transport Co. of Nome, which
was due at Kotzebue. He sighted the plane partly sub
merged and inspected it, poking around in the cabin, but
finding no trace of Pilot Easley.
He dragged the plane about fifty feet from shore and
searched again but could find no sign of a body. Tuesday
night and early this morning Paul Davidovics in a motor
boat searched for the body, returning to Kotzebue with no
sign of it having been seen.
Pilot Easley left Nome Monday for Candle. From Can
dle he proceeded north enroute to Kotzebue to pick up a
passenger and return him to Candle. The plane never ar
rived at Kotzebue.
The search was continued today for the body of Pilot
Easley. Pilot Frank Whaley and Harry Nelson of the
Roust Airways took off immediately upon receipt of the
news in Nome, in the Travelair plane of the company. They
are it is understood, to continue the search by air and water.
When found, one door and a window were open on the
plane, but no other details were received as to what shape
the plane was in—whether it was badly cracked up or had
merely mushroomed into the ocean.
Pilot Ben Easley first came to Nome and Candle winter
before last and in company with Tom Roust of Candle help
ed organize the Roust Airways, later the same winter being
joined by Harry Nelson and Pilot Frank Whaley. Ben
Easley went outside during last winter and returned again
early this spring, recommencing flying the Curtis Robin
plane based at Candle.
Mrs. Easley and child were outgoing passengers on one
of the last boats last fall, and it was reported that they were
due to come to Nome on the second sailing and join Mi.
Easley up North.
The cause of the plane crash was not explained, but
Monday and Tuesday’s weather reports stated that a heavy
fog obliterated the entire region from Deering to Kotzebue,
and it is possible that the plane crashed into the water in
the fog, without the pilot knowing he was so close to water.
However, no definite cause can be established until further
details are received.

Cuban Government Claims
Agitation Instead of Open
Investigation Is Motive
(By The Associated Press)
HAVANA, July 3, — The Cuban
government clamped seventeen Am
ericans into a detention camp this
morning, thwarting their plans to
investigate indications of the “com
plete destruction of civil liberties in
Cuba”.
Clifford Odets, liberal playwright
and chairman of the commission to
investigate social and labor condi
tions, said that their project had
been upset, and that they were in
doubt as to what recourse to take.
The police said late today that the
entire party would probably be de
ported, as the government consid
ered the commission to be more of
an agitation than an open investi
gation, and therefore they were
deemed undesirable aliens.
Lighthouse Tender

Keepers’long Vigil
Lighthouse Tender Carrying
Supplies for Station Now
On Way to U. S. Posts
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, July 3, — The
Tender “Cedar” is steaming toward
Bering Sea today from Seattle with
another year’s provisions for nine
lonely Americans who keep three of
the remotest light houses in the
world, maintained by the United
States, and also three of the keep
ers who are returning to their work
after a year’s vacation in the states.
The vessel’s first stop will be at
Ketchikan.
During the next five weeks the
tender will visit a score of untend
ed lights and then provision the man
ned stations at Scotch Cape, Cape
Sarichef and Cape Hinehinbrook in
Prince William Sound. The wives
of the lighthouse keepers were not
allowed to accompany the tender.
Down near Altoona, Kan., a brid
ge bears the following inscription:
“Are you Prepared to Meet Your
God? What Will You Do When You
Die?”
Some enterprising advertising man
must have happened along recently,
for beneath appears this new sign:
“Use Unguentine for Burns.”
DAVID LLOYD GEORGE
ATTACKS THE POWER
OPPOSING NEW DEAL
(By The Associated Press)
LONDON, July 3—David Lloyd George, war-time
premier, cited the “powerful interest” which were fighting
President Roosevelt’s New Deal, as illustrative of the kind
of opposition his own New Deal must face in Great Britain.
“Interests against us are very powerful. They are
fighting Roosevelt in America, now, because he is trying to
emancipate the country from the grip of high finance.
You’ll find exactly the same kind of interests here and un
less we organize a counter pressure they will triumph here,
as they have done elsewhere.
Lloyd George’s, diplomatic and economic knowledge
is accredited one of the most uptodate in the world, caused
a commotion of surprise by coming forward with such a
blunt statement—an almost collaboration of the attack
'which President Roosevelt is carrying on in the United
States, exemplified by his recent “Tax Wealth Program.”
Whether Lloyd George and the Pvesid~etfs»f'the United
States have carried on discussions through diplomatic chan
nels concerning the New Deal begun in the United Kingdom
since the resignation of Ramsey MacDonald, in unknown.

could not recall having any record
showing her birth, or the name of
