LaRue And Booth
Return Trip To
Barrow, Pictures
Dr. LaRue and Pilot Booth in the
Waco pontoon plane which took off
from Nome last Thursday afternoon
following receipt of the information
telling of the death of Wiley Post
and Will Rogers, returned from Bar
row yesterday afternoon, after ob
taining pictures, both still and
movie.
They flew from Nome to Kotzebue
and thence to Barrow, returning to
the lagoon where the Post plane was
wrecked, after refueling at Barrow.
Fog forced them to remain with the
Eskimos who witnessed the crash of
Post and Rogers, for three days.
The story of the crash as told to
Dr. LaRue and Pilot Booth was sub
stantially the same as was reported
last week, from Barrow. They sta
ted that the plane wras still lying
where it had crashed and that noth
ing had been salvaged from it ex
cept the personal belongings of the
two men.
They flew from Kotzebue to Nome
yesterday. This was their first
flight to Barrow, and they expect to
return up the Yukon River to Fair
banks as soon as weather permits.
Both Dr. LaRue and Pilot Booth
stated that there were several val
uable parts of the Lockheed Orion
Sirius which could be salvaged, but
that so far nothing had been done.
They were also told at Barrow
that a Canadian vessel was aground
about twenty or thirty miles East
of Point Barrow and was attempt
ing to get some vessel to come and
pull her off into deep water, but
that as far as they could find out,
no vessel was enroute to her.

Solons Studying A
New Plan For The
Control Of Booze
TREASURY REGULATIONS TO
REPLACE FACA RULES EX
PECTED FROM CONGRESS
(Bv The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21, — Con
gress will be asked to give to the
treasury power to license distillers
and regulate liquor imports in the
belief of those who hold that the
Supreme Court decision on NIRA
calls for new regulations for the liq
uor traffic.
Officials concede that federal con
trol, except for the modicum of
supervision maintained by the bur
eau of internal revenue for tax
purposes, has broken down. They
acknowledge that the supreme
court decision brings danger of a
return of the liquor traffic to the
position that it was in before pro
hibition.
At the same time James M. Dor
an, administrator of the distilled
spirits institute, announced that on
the basis of pledges from compa
nies representing about 90 percent
of the nation’s distilling volume,
he could assure the country that
present standards of hours for la
bor, advertising, labeling and com
mercial transactions would be main
tained.
New Control Methods Sought
Federal officials were seeking new
methods of controlling the liquor
industry throughout the nation, pre
viously limited through codes under
the authority of the federal alcohol
control administration. ,
