Soviet custom dictates that such sentences must be carried out within 24 hours. The swift-moving military trial was deemed by foreign observers as probably the most important ol the Soviet Union's treason trials since it disclosed disaffection in the army's topmost ranks. Previous trials, which sent a total of 29 men to firing squads; were concerned with charges the defendants plotted with Leon Trotsky for the overthrow of the Soviet regime. It was generally understood the unnamed foreign power the newly sentenced men aided was eithei Germany or Japan. The death sentence was passed against these men in addition to Marshal Tukhachevsky: General Kazimirovitch V.

Miller announced today. Higher Stack, Too Complete modernization of the unit is a special feature. Hand firing of the boiler attached to the new turbine will be eliminated by an automatic stoker.

Seek Unknown Early Inscription on Lapp Hut Inspires Hunt A rctic Explorer Records By ROGER D.

GREENK NEW YORK, June 12, A quest for records left by an unknown American explorer, one of first white men to penetrate "ar Into the Arctic circle, was announced today by Arnold Haver- ee, 34-ytar-old leader of an cx- tedition which plans to explore apland this summer. "Nobody seems to know who the American was," Haverlee said, prior to his departure on the S. S. leorglc to join other members of he expedition at Tronhoim, Nor- rvay. "I was exploring the Arctic erritory several years ago, and about 100 miles north of the Arctic ircle I found a c-ibin an inscription which has puzzled me ever since." The inscription, scratched on a rock, read: Lfliiffhorn, of America, July 23, 1787." "The curious thing," said Haver lee, "is that he dated tho inscription nearly two years before George Washington's inauguration as the first president of tho United States and two months before the Constitution was ratified." The expedition, which will leave Tronhelm, Norway, about July 10, also will study present-day conditions among the mountain Lapps inhabiting the far north territories of Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

Clifford Manlove, 19-year-old Purdue University student and a former resident of Wood River, today described the miraculous escape of himself and a classmate when the airplane in which they were riding came down on an island in the Missouri river after the propeller had broken. Although the plane was damaged, and the motor was buried in the sand on the Island, both Manlove and Carl P. Lohr, 19, of St. Louis, who was piloting the craft, escaped Injury. Manlove and Lohr were flying from Lafayette, to Lambert field, near St.

Louis. There Manlove was to bo met by his parents, Mr, and Mrs. Clifford Manlove, and accompany them to their honw at Cape Girardeau, Mo. The Manlove family formerly resided in Wood River. Up 800 Feet "We were over the -Missouri river, just about at the railroad and highway bridges, when we heard a pounding.

We saw the propeller fly off. We were up about 800 feet, going at about 90 miles an hour. "We had intended going to Lamburt field, and had radioed ahead for landing inr 1 ructions. When it appeared we couid not make it across the river, without the propeller, Carl sought a landing on the island in the Missouri river, east of the bridges. On the Island we could see high trees, some undergrowth with smaller tr os, and a sandy stretch.

Carl tried for the sandy stretch. "Carl did a fine bit of landing, and brought the plane down in the undergrowth we couldn't quite make the sandy stretch." A doctor and from the Bellefontaine 'Missouri, saw the plane go down, and were ready to give aid. "A fisherman who lives on the island took us in a rowboat to the mainland, and there the doctor ami nurses met us, but we had been lucky enough to escape injury an-i did not require the services they kindly offered," said Manlove. Belong To Flying Club Manlove and Lohr are members of a flying club of 15 at Purdue and the plane is the property of the club, with all 15 members having a share in the owner ship. Lohr has a pilot's license.

The plane, said Manlove, is a year-old craft of the cruiser type, with a cruiser speed of 100 miles an hour, and a top speed of 120 ilM an hour. It is a two-passenger craft, with a motor. A new propeller had been installed on the plane, and the bolts had loosened, then had sheared off, causing loss of the propeller and making necessary the forced landing. When the piano landed, the engine was buried in the sand, the fusiiagc was torn, the landing gear was torn off, and the bottom was damaged. The plane is still on tfn island and, because the river has risen since the accident, the job ot recovering the plane has been made more difficult.

Manlove said the loss of the pro peller came so unexpectedly that "of course 1 was frightened a He said Lohr "kept his head" and did an excellent job in bringing down tho plane. Manlove is completing his freshman year at Purdue and loft today for Lafayette. Ho visited his uncle, Joe Nolan, at East Alton. Friend of Heiress Mme. Anna Kupryonova, daughter of a Russian nobleman executed during the revolution, was next to the last person to see Mrs.

The hoped-for contact apparently had not been established today, but Parsons, going about his farm duties quietly, still was doggedly of a mind to give the kidnapers a chance.

Price of gasoline in Alton has dropped.

Service statjon proprietors generally have slashed off a half-cent on each gallon sold, a similar cut. in price having been made by tho major wholesale companies.

Walkins said he was "sure there are at least 10,000 men out" at the Cambria plant, but Bethlehem officials said the mill was operating according to schedule. The plant employs approximately 15,000. An estimated 73,000 men had ben idle before calling of the Cambria strike.
