NEW YORK, Nov., 29, (JP)—
The strange creature found im
bedded in ice near Valdez may be
one of the “smaller whales,”
Curator Bernard Brown of the
American Museum of Natural
History said.
He does not believe it as old
as thought by W. J. McDonald,
1 Chugach National Forest offi
cial who was sent to investi
; gate the reputed prehistoric ani
mal, although he said it is un
doubtedly of considerable anti
quity.
From the description given to
him Brown is convinced it is
some marine creature; perhaps
one as yet unclassified.

NOT TELLING THE
ATTEMPTING TO INTIMIDATE
ANTI-SOVIETS IN THE
LAND OF RUSSIA
|
MOSCOW, Nov., 29, (/?)—The
trial and execution of Sacco and
Vanzetti in Boston came out of
the files of Russian newspapers
which to interminable
columns .. papers which
have beei unvoting huge space
to the trial of the 8 engineers
charged with treason.
The newspaper Izvestia said:
| “Of course Soviet justice can not
be compared with the bourgeois
I justice which executed Sacco and
Vanzetti in spite of the docu
J mental proof of their innocence.”
This was the general toner of
long editorials on the news ac
counts of the trial.
All the defendants confessed
in overwhelming details of con
spiring with European diplomats.
They offered no defense nor
asked any leniency.
Yet N. B. Krilenko, fiery pros
ecutor, subjected them to a .roa
dless cross-examination and call
ed additonai witnesses even tho
the government had already ob
tained sufficient evidence for
the judges decision.
This, newspapers said, was to
impress on the Soviet multitudes
the heinous crime committed.
The papers s id foreign news
papers were not us ng the true
facts of the trial but attempt
ing to show it a frame-up to in
. timidate anti-Soviets in Russia.
CO TO GREAT SIS
Tourist travel has entered the
realm of big businness, taking
rank with the country’s most im
portant industries.
This fact is indicated by a re
port just received by the Auto
mobile Club of Washington from
the Department of Commerce
showing that the stupendous sum
of $3,000,000,000 is spent annually
on vacation travel by the Ameri
can people.
This vast sum is too large to be
contemplated in the abstract, the
Automobile Club advises, pointing
out by comparison the tourist
business is equal to the gigantic
iron and steel industry of this
country. It is 11 per cent greater
than the clothing industry and is
’51 per cent greater than the oil
production in the United States.
