FATRBANKS, Alaska, August 18.— Eskimos who reported hearing en- gines along the Northern Alaska Coast “four or five days ago,” fur- nished the first definite clues today in the hunt for the missing Soviet trans-Polar plane. Natives, gathered at remote Barter Island to trade, told Pilot Bob Ran- dall yesterday they heard the roar of engines and when they could sight no boat, decided it must have been an airplane. Barter Island is on the 144th meridian, 300 miles east of Barrow. The search was halted from here yes- terday by stormy weather. East of 148th Meridian. The spot is 175 miles east of the 148th meridian, along which the six airmen planned to fly on a 4,000-mile hop across the North Pole from Moscow. Randall, who is flying a plane ghartered by the Soviet embassy Washington, reported from the noise heard by the “might have been the Russian plane None of the natives told of seeing the plane. Randall, flying through murky clouds, covered the coast line between Herschel Island to Point Barrow, Alaska's northernmost tip, a distance of over 450 miles. He said he landed “wherever I could find a native to talk to.” Mattern Awaits Clearing Weather. Awaiting clearing weather here to resume searching was Jimmy Mat- tern, noted American fiyer, Also ready to take off for Northern Alasmka was Joe Crosson, veteran Alaskan aviator. The heavy weather apparently was general along the Arctic rim. From Moscow came reports fog delayed Pilot Zadkoff and other Soviet air- men heading into the Arctic from Siberia. While United States Signal Corps reported hearing no more transmis- sions on the lost plane’s wave length, the Flight Committee in Moscow said it had heard faint radio signals, so vague they could not be understood, and concluded its statement with a cryptic: “Listening continues.” Barter Island was named in 1826 by white traders who found the Eskimos congregated there from hun- dreds of miles around to barter their furs, ivory and other possessions.

Six Democrats joined 10 Repub- | licans in voting against confirmation The Democrats were: Burke, Byrd of Virginia, Copeland of New York, Gerry of Rhode Island, Glass of Vir-| ginia and King of Utah. Three Republicans, on the other hand, supported Black: Capper of Kansas and Frazier and Nye of North Dakota. Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland and Senator Norris, Inde- pendent, of Nebraska were paired, the former opposing confirmation and the latter supporting it. Among Democrats who were not registered on the vote were Senators Bailey of North Carolina, McCarran of Nevada, Maloney of Connecticut Walsh of Massachusetts, and Wheeler of Montana. Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho, who voted for Black in the sub- committee and full committee and against the Bridges motion to recom- mit the nomination, finally voted against confirmation. It was Borah's appeal to the Senate to ignore the Klan issue raised by Sen- ator Copeland that brought Burke to his feet with the statement about witnesses to Black’s membership. Borah, who voted against confirma- tion because he contends there is no legal vacancy, retorted: publican, of Oregon. premely “There never has been one jota of evidence that Senator Black was a member of the Klan.” The Alabaman, he said, had de- nied—in a private conversation before | Senator Hugo L.

Senator Norris, independent, of Nebraska informed his colleagues to- day that he was “greatly grieved” at the “bitter, unreasonable and some- times malicious attacks” made on Sen- ator Black of Alabama prior to his confirmation as Supreme Court justice. In a telegram to Chairman Ashurst of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Norris praised Black's “superior abil- ity and undaunted courage, which are seldom equaled, or surpassed.” The message was sent from Waupaca, Wis., where the Nebraskan is resting after an illness. Expressing regret that he could not participate in the confirmation de- bate, Norris said that his “long and pefsonal acquaintange” with Black had “given me a true insight into his charaeter.” “His nomination to that great tribunal expresses the wish and hope of the struggling citizen asking only for justice for all alike,” the telegram read. “The scales of justice in his hands will bring renewed hope to millions of our common people throughout the country, and his namination meets wigh the hearty approval of a vast majority of our people. ““He is a worthy representative of the common people. He understands their hopes and ambitions, and their liberties in his hands will be safe.” MRS. GALVIN IS DEAD RITES TO BE IN TEXAS Services for Native of Germany Will Be Held Friday in Cleburne.

CITIZENS’ UNIT FAVORS DISTRICT CRIME CLINIC A crime clinic for the District, pro- posed by Police Court Judge Edward M. Curran, was indorsed Monday night by the Lincoln Citizens' Association, meeting in Liberty Baptist Church, Twenty-third and H streets. Progress reports were made on the survey of the housing sitvation in the Lincoln section, conducted by the as- sociation for the Alley Dwelling Au- thority. The group also decided to launch a slum-clearance drive with reports to be made periodically to District officials. A resoiution to change the name of the organization to the Lincoln Civic Association was adopted. Election of officers will be held September 20 Judge Curran will be invited to speak at that time on crime and his pro- posed crime clinic, it was announced. Coffee Burning Defended.

The Senate restricted dwell- ing costs to $1,000 a room or $4,000 a unit The House Banking Committee, how- ever, decided the cost should be the average for similar private construc- tion, but in no event more than $5,000 a unit. Some Representatives pre- ferred the lower Senate figure. The House scrap over the appropria- tion bill prevented a meeting yesterday of a Senate-House committee trying to work out a compromise on a Sugar- control bill. A presidential veto has been threatened unless a restriction on refined sugar imports from Hawaii| and Puerto Rico is modified. Doughton Orders Caucus. Representative Doughton, Democrat, of North Carolina ordered a call for a | caucus of House Democrats tomorrow | night on the wage-and-hour bill. Pro- ponents of the measure hope to put sufficient pressure on Rules Committee members to loosen their death grip on it. President Roosevelt said at yester- day’s press conference it was a bit pre- mature to assert he had conceded its demise for this session. Speaking privately, leaders and some members of a steer- ing committee that forced the caucus said they saw no possibility that the Democratic meeting would melt the Rules Committee’s opposition. On the farm front, Representative Johnson, Democrat, of Texas Was sign- ing up House members on a petition to urge the President to authorize crop loans of 10 cents a pound on cotton: | IF YOU have outstanding bills which you would like to consolidate to reduce your monthly payments, or if you require ad- ditional funds for any helpful purpose, you may obtain the money from our Bank.
