They were not found. Both trappers were reported to have left Ketchikan latesin Novem- ber, Coast Guard héadquarters here said today. Clifford Durgan was reported to have left Ketchikan November 28 aboard his troller, the 31A207, to trap on Kuiu and Kupreanof Is- lands. His mother, who asked Coast Guard aid in finding him, said she had received no word from him since. The searching aircraft also look- ed for Richard Melang, who left Ketchikan November 26 aboard the mailboat Discoverer. Melang went ashore from the |Discovcrer at Cape Pole the same | ‘day. He had an 11-foot skiff with an outboard motor and was to trap in the Coronation Island area and report to his brother in Ketchi- kan by radio from either Cape Polv} or Cape Decision at two week m-| tervals, He failed to report, Const‘ Guard officials were told. Coast Guard spokesmen said thati {information from Warrea Cove| was that Melang had left Cape Pole for Coronation Isiand during| the specific land allotments weuld open land outside to settlement and thus hasten development of Alaska. Opponents argue that assignments of large tracts of land to native ownership would hinder settlement of the Territory. NAIL FILES USED ON CASH FIRM DOORS, POLICE DISCOVER BOSTON, Jan. 23—(M—Detectives investigating a $1,500,000 raid on Brink’s armored vaults expressed the belief today,K that the bandits used nail files or penknives to open six doors to the cashier's cage. They switched their theory that the gunmen used a pass key or master key after Special Officer Arthur Ahern opened a half dozen locks with a fingernail file and penknife. The demonstration was given last night on new locks installed at the company’s raided garage vaults. Ahern said, however, that the old locks could have been opened just as easily. Ahern tried his experiment after ing into the building. “The test of locks became a farce after a while,” Ahern said, “we were all able to open them-—all six doors.” THe demonstration was given shortly before three carloads of detectives swarmed into a garage to examine a steel-gray canteen truck—the same color as Brink's trucks.

Porter ana Meiancer took off from Anchorage before noon Fri- day, leaving earlier than planned in order to avoid a forecasted fog. They took the trip in easy stages, overnighting in Cordova, from where they took off Saturday. Al- most to Cape Spencer, they ran into a serious snow squall, so turned back and overnighted at Yakutat. The Juneauites landed here yes- terday after a trip they described as fine, although there was quite a bit of wind.

MONEY FROM 'MARCH OF DIMES' IS KEPT | WITHIN TERRITORY Mrs. John McCormick, member of the Alaska Crippled Children’s Association, today explained dis- tribution of funds which will be raised through the “March of Dimes” tag day sale Friday. During past years, she said, funds | have been handled by various com- munities in various ways with nro general accounting of the funds. Now, however, the funds are turned over to the Department of Health. Fifty percent is kept in the Territory which amount is matched dollar for dollar with fed- eral funds, and then turned over to the ACCA and handled by its treasurer who is under bond. In the past nearly $3,000 has been entrusted to ACCA which uses the money for hospitalization, kraces, shoes, ete., for Alaska polio victims. The United States bought Alaska from Russia for $7,200,000 in 1867.
