HEROIC MEASURES NEEDED
The fact that money paid by Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh has
turned up from an East River savings bank indicates that despite the
precautions taken to identify the money, the appeal for assistance of
the authorities fell upon some deaf ears.
In the rush of daily business, it is excusable if tradespeople fail to
scan each bill in search of the serial numbers advertised. But it does
not seem reasonable that a bank should allow it to pass the counter and
not immediately seek to identify the passer and thus offer a clue to the j
dastards who filched the flower from Colonel Lindbergh’s home.
With the power of the United States Army and Navy at its dis
posal. it might not be a bad suggestion for its employment, regardless
of the drastic steps that might be taken, such as martial law and a
general search, which would be preferable to the Navy’s employment in
an effort to enforce the farsical prohibition law.
The history of the development of nations discloses that at times
heroic measures must be taken if institutions are to survive and anarchy
not reign. A declaration of martial law, a search by soldiers of every
rat-hole of the gangsters regardless of their rank or influence would
only disconcert the criminal and not of tend the innocent. No ship on
the ocean would object to scrutiny, or would international complica
tions ensue, because the Lindberghs represent the highest type of man
and woman— a symbol of all nations for youth. Thus, the kidnapping i
of the baby becomes an international loss, as shown by the expressions .
of the nations of the world.
We are at war, not dealing with sporadic criminality of the ordinary
type. Maybe if the criminals of the large cities were rounded up, notice l
served upon them that for each day the child is missing one will be
shot, as a hostage, would produce the child overnight.
There are some things they do better in darkest Russia than in ,
criminal America.
Alaska is finding many able critics of governmental ownership and
operation in the States. Frank M. Patterson, writing in the Nation’s
Business, shows where a reported profit to a governmentally sponsored
waterways enterprise or $65,177 turns out to be what would be a deficit
of $953,600 if all charges were fixed as under private ownership.
Downtin Juneau they are having a squabble over the painting in the )
Capitol building. As far as one can judge by reports, it seems that the !
paint splashers rushed through to finish before their paint gave out. j
We’ve got to relieve this national tension. Even the 12-year-old
editors of the Chitina Herald are turning muck-rakers.

The annual school session of
three days at the Lawing Ranger
Station for employees and guard
ians of the Chugach National For
est convenes May 1, announces Dis
trict Ranger Wm. Sherman, who
left today for his Kenai Lake sum
mer headquarters.
Among those who will attend the
three-day school will be Ted Han
sen, fire warden; O. Pendleton,
guard at Lawing; Jas. Pendleton,
guard at Girdwood; K. I. Seymore,
guard at Hope; Jake Blanc, trail
boss, and Harry Morrin, trail boss.
Accompanied by Mr. Merritt,
head of Alaska national forest ad
ministration, who arrived on the
SS Yukon from his Juneau head
quarters, Ranger Sherman will
make a week’s inspection of this
area of the local forest.
Owing to the slash in appropria
tions this year, it will be impossi
ble to even contemplate new work,
it. was said. Last year $550,000 was
available for new work but this
year the appropriation is but $140,
000, barely sufficient to continue
maintenance on the existing ap
proximate 140 miles of trails, and
continuance of projects previously
begun.
