is comparatively vacant, and the
reserved seats in the mezzanine
floor and lower grand stand are
comparatively vacant.

clouds in the offing. The ground
keepers are removing the tarpaulin
covering. The sun came out only

the first ball. There is a bare pos
sibility that the usual opening fes

which includes the march of the
players, etc.
. The sun came out; holders of re
serve seats are now coming in fast.
Coach Fletcher of the Yankees and
Captain English, of the Cubs, are
handing their lineups to the Um
pires.
Opening festivities have been
dispensed with and the Yankees

MOVE PICIFIC FLEET
TOKIO, Sept., 28,—Japan intends
to drop a gentle hint to Washing
ton that the withdrawal of part of
the great American Fleet, now
concentrated in the Pacific, would
go a long way towards allaying the
growing suspicion, among its peo
ple, that the United States is pre
paring to make war against them
This almost unprecedented step
was decided on after an almost un
ceasing press campaign against the
United States for the past month
in which the Japanese newspap
ers have spread stories of Ameri
can spy operations, reinforcements
of American aviation units in the
Philippines, and other tales that
have excited the public greatly.

JAPANESE ADMIRAL'S
VISIT AMERICA IS OFF
TOKIO, Sept. 27, —Strong oppo
sition unexpectedly developed here
to the trip of Vice Admiral Kich
isabura Nomura, who was plan
ning to make a visit to the United
States and it now appears possible
the trip will be abandoned.
Nomura, member of the supreme
Naval council, intended his visit as
a “Good will” mission. He proposed
among other things, to hint to
official Washington, that with
drawal of the American fleet from
the Pacific Ocean would do much
toward removing the suspicion
prevalent among the Japanese
people that the United States is
preparing for war.

PREFER TOIL, HMDS
MOSCOW, , Sept. 27, — Soviet
Russia is faced with a serious
shortage of physicians, scientists,
teachers and authors because the
Communist youth would rather

LATE BULLETIN
In a long distance telephone to
The Gateway at 3:20 this after
noon from Anchorage, it was re
ported that no sign of Atty. H. F.
Morton and Pilot Arthur Woodley
had yet been found. While a strong
wind is blowing, nevertheless a
number of planes soared into the
air to conduct further search and
at the time of phoning, Pilot Lon
Cope was winging his way over
the Knik Glacier area where flares
were seen Sunday and Monday
nights by three people. Pilot Mills
is on the upper Inlet ^searching
while at Nenana Pilots A1 Monson,
Matt Nieminen and Joe Crosson
are held to the ground by bad
weather. It was also said that An
chorage, as a whole, is gravely
concerned over the long absence

FLARES SEEN NEAR
KNIK GLAGER: NUY
ANCHORAGE, Sept- 28, —Special
to The Gateway—Pilot . Arthur
Woodley, brother of the late Father
George Woodley who lost his life
a year ago while sheep hunting in
the Chickaloon district, and who
left Anchorage Sunday afternoon
for Fairbanks in Woodley’s Deisel
powered Catholic Mission Bellansa
pontoon plane, are still missing.
The average flying time between
Anchorage and Fairbanks is three
hours.
The plane was seen over Talkeet
na and at Mile 275, on the Alaska
Railroad, flying at an elevation of
about 500 feet and heading into a
snow storm.
Search by plane from Anchor
age Monday was without results.
Two planes left Fairbanks Tuesday
morning to continue the search but
were driven back by storms. Two
more planes stood by at Anchor
age all day Tuesday waiting for the
weather to clear, but to no avail.
Pilot Woodley carried no provis
ions other than a small amount of
hard-tack and both men were
jloorly clad to withstand winter
I weather. The region where the
plane was last seen is rugged and
mountainous and contains few
places where pontoon-equipped
planes could land.
Deputy U. S. Marshal H. I. Sta
ser of, Anchorage, and U. S. Mar
shal Lynn Smith of Fairbanks,
are coordinating the search from
both ends. It is reported that Sta
ser has heard from three sources
that flares were seen in the direct
ion of Knik glacier, the headwaters
of Matanuska river, Sunday and
Monday nights.
Woodley often flew over the
place where his brother met death
which is in the same direction the
flares are reported to have been
seen.
IINEHSINESS FELT KT
HUGE HIESBIt
, EHING, ffl MEN
Not a word had been heard from
the missing Atty. Harry F. Morton
and Pilot Arthur Woodley, of An
chorage, up to 10 o‘clock Tuesday
■night, according to Broadcast Sta
tion KFQD, at Anchorage. The
men took off from Anchorage Sun
day for Fairbanks in a pontoon
plane and vanished into oblivion.
Announcer J. P. Hannon said last
night that Pilot Matt Nieminen,
of the P. A. A., had taken off one
hour before Morton and Woodley
for Fairbanks and had arrived al
right but he reported the going
was stormy.
Considerable uneasiness was felt
throughout Anchorage last night,
“J. P.” announced. A Star plane,
with Chas. Diamond as observer,
cruised north as far as Curry with
out picking up a clue as to the
whereabouts of the lost plane and
occupants. Diamond is a close
friend of Woodley.
A McGee Airways plane stood on
the line on the Anchorage field all
day awaiting favorable weather
which failed to clear sufficiently
to take-off. All other planes were
likewise grounded Tuesday.
Marshal Lynn Smith of Fair
banks believes the plane was forced
down in the vicinity between Healy
and Broad Pass. Weather permit
