PLANES IN SEARCH
PLEAS FOR AID BEFORE SNOW
WILL COVER UP TRACES
OF THE WRECKAGE
KETCHIKAN, Nov. 12. (A5)—Hop
ing to concentrate the search for
the Renahan party which has been
missing since October 28 pilot Eck
man, who arrived here, wired na
val authorities an urgent plea to
press American government ships
into the search to aid private in
terests and the Canadian govern
ment planes.
Pilot Eckmann says it is imper
ative that a search be made of
the territory adjacent to Lucy Is
land immediately before the ar
rival of the snow which would
cover up traces of the wreckage in
case Renahan came down on land.
The Renahan plane was last
seen passing over Lucy Island.
Eckmann says he has covered
3,00n miles but has only scratched
the country.
Although Eckmann is now bas
ing at Prince Rupert he believes
that the search must be conduct
ed from Alaskan waters in the In
ure.

TERRITORIAL AND FEDERAL
FACILITIES ASKED TO
SEARCH
The search for Captain Charles
Emsweiler, navigator of Alaskan
| waters for many years, may be on.
! The Gateway has asked Governor
Parks to start search for the well
known old timer who may be mar
oone don some desolate beach be
tween Kodiak and Seward, or
whose frozen body may be thrown
up by the angry waves. The Coast
Guard Cutter Haida, now patroll
ing the waters of the North Al
aska Gulf to protect the halibut
men as the season closes has al
so been asked to render assistance.
Captain Charles Emsweiler is
well and favorably known all along
the coast. For more than thirty
years he has been cruising up and
down these treacherous waters and
should know ever; nook and cran
ny*- For a long time he was as
sociated with “Wild BMP DeWitt j
of this citv and the two made many
trios together.
Emsweiler is repored to have left
Kodiak in n gasboat on September ;
17 for Seward. Since that time no
word has been heard of him. His,
"'■‘lends over there thought he had
nvh horn whi! at the some ,
t>■ mo Vi1 ‘rieuds here thought he
we still in Kodi"'
It is of course possible that he j
may have put in on some business
of his own, but the feeling here 4s
that he is either lost or marooned.j
The Gateway has wired Governor
Parks asking that something be ,
done towards instituting search. 1
and is expecting word from Ter
ritorial headquarters. In the mean- |
time the U. S. Signal Corps is try
ing to get in touch wih the govern- :
ment boat to notify them of the
danger thought to exist.

SYSTEM
GENEVA, Nov., 12, (/P)—The
formidable character of the
problem of limiting land war
materials was emphasized when
a wide difference of opinion rose
among the nations delegates to
the preparatory disarmament
conference.
The differences appeared to de
crease prospects of reaching an
agreement on this important is
sue and drafting of the general
disarmament treaty of the Amer
ican proposal leaving the United
States free to employ her own
method by direct limitation while
permitting others to use the
budgetary system, i
This proposal was discourag
ed by Japan whch was supported
to some degree by France, Bel
g ium a n d Norway.
The debate disclosed that Jap
an wanted neither direct nor
the budgetary system. Russia, on
the other extreme, wanted a
combination of both. Others di
vided their approval.
The French d' let
Mansion, defended th
s a y ing t in a t i111h o ug i. i
P .meet yet it was the only prac
ticable method establishing a
maximum lor land armaments
and direct limitations. The
Frenchmen said in would be
practicable only for those coun
