Fog hanging low over the rugged peak of Riding Mountain this morning balked efforts of two of three search planes continuing the concentrated hunt for young Mike Sawchyn, flier now lost for nine days.

The third plane, the Mld Cana dian Airwayi Cessna, piloted by Jack Herrlot, made Its scheduled three hour flight, skirting the north boundary of the park and air combing the Valley River Indian reserve country, even winging west to the Duck Mountain forest reserve. The Cessna's efforts have been financially aided by The Tribune. The ship was the first to reach the search base at Dauphin and will continue the hunt today with further assistance from The Tribune.

Weather Improves The Avian, from Brandon, was still at the Dauphin landing field when the Waco roared back to the base. It had been scheduled to wing over the park but because of the fog that forced the government plane to return, did lot take off. Both Waco and Avian, the latter piloted by Cecil Leech, were warmed up early this afternoon to make another attempt. The fog had lifted and weather turned much more favorable for flying.

Parties of R.C.M.P.. on foot and by snowmobile, left Dauphin this morning to visit farms north of the Dauphin Yorkton highway In hopes of gaining new Information that may lead to discovery of Sawchyn' whereabouts. They returned at noon with no encouraging report but, after a brief rest and some food, slogged out again this afternoon to take up the search on the ground. Fruitless Effort While the Waco was grounded Wednesday afternoon because of lack of fuel, the Cessna flew far east to Ochre River and cruised over a wide area in the sector where farmers had reported seeing Sawchyn last Wednesday, the day of his disappearance.

Protests against "the abnormal number of deaths among young pilots of the Royal Air Force undergoing training will be made by members of parliament when the House of Commons resumes sittings. Last year 153 airmen were killed In 93 accidents and this year already a young Canadian, Acting Pilot Officer Howard Graham Clitheroe, of Toronto, heads what Is feared to be another death roll of training casualties.

Deaths in 1936 numbered only 96. Heads ot the air force itself are4 protesting against the rush tactics In training that cause disasters. Inexperienced Pilots Air Marshal Sir W. G. Mitchell says "inexperienced pilots are turned out In 10 months and put Into squadrons where they fly high speed machines.

There is a shortage of technical Instruments for bad weather flying and that Is due to the difficulty of getting production to keep pace with the demand." However, he declared the incidence of accidents was not alarming when it was considered that the R.A.F. more than doubled lis flying mileage in 1937 as compared to 1935, and that hundreds of the npwest machines continually were entering service.

At Sifton, the boy's home, farmers and townsmen alike, were contributing today to a collection fund which will help enable the search planes to carry on. All were giving generously to prolong the search and to prevent the ever looming possibility that the planes will have to abandon their efforts because of lack of money for fuel. New reports were received this morning from the Gilbert Plains district where it was said that farmers had actually seen the Sawchyn plane and made out the let tering on Its bright red fuselage Wednesday.

FRANCO'S ARMY IS DECIMATED IN FIERCE FIGHTING Barrage by Artillery Cuts Down Advancing Force On Snowy Plain REBEL CASUALTIES ARE SET AT 10,000 Reinforcements Hurried Into Teruel Fray But Forced To Retreat (By Ha vat (Frtnch Ntwt Agency) WITH GOVERNMENT FORCES ON THE TERUEL FRONT, Jan.

6. Huge Spanish insurgent forces, seeking to recapture Teruel, faced disaster today after government artillery had cut their communications west and north of the town with severe artillery attacks Wednesday. Government forces held mastery of the strategic Muela de Teruel heights, dominating the city from the southwest. In the snow blanketed Sierra Corbalan, about five miles north of the town, government lines remained intact after violent Insurgent attacks were shattered by artillery. From a vantage point on the Corbalan heights, the correspondent witnessed some of the deadliest fighting of the civil war, waged in knee deep snow and fog at temperatures hovering near tero.

Fighting comparable in scope and ferocity to Great War engage ments raged without ceasing dur ing 24 hours as General Franco's troops fell upon government forces In supreme efforts to recapture the city. Uncounted hundreds of Insurgent fighting men were cut down in storms of shells and bullets. Insurgent and Government aerial bombing and strafing operations added to violence of the combat The government declared today the Battle of Teruel had cost the Insurgents more than 10.000 casualties and heavy losses of war materials. A communique said about 3.000 Insurgents were killed, about 6.000 wounded and several thousand taken prisoner during the three weeks of fighting in frigid weather. Armaments reported captured by the government Included 4,800 rifles, 211 machine guns, 97 mortars, 30 field guns, 300 trucks and thousands of boxes of ammunition.

Early in the morning the Insurgents attempted a strong surprise attack against the Corbalan mountain positions. From a hill position near Con cud, the correspondent witnessed the development of the attack and its disastrous culmination. The Insurgent Navaree and Teirco brigades advanced bravely through snow, unaware they were In the direct line of fire of heavy and light artillery hidden behind snowbanks. It was about 8 o'clock when they came within good firing range and the hidden artillery batteries opened up. Effects were frightful.

Shells exploded In the Insurgent ranks, sending bodies flying skyward amid chunks of earth and clouds of snow. Relentlessly the Government artillery intensified the barrages. Finally the Insurgents began to waver and fall back, leaving the ground littered with dead. Reinforcements hurried Into the fray, but they were obliged to withdraw to the positions originally held by the Insurgents. Well disciplined, well armed Government troops of General Sebastian Pozas wrote another dark chapter for the Insurgents when the latter attacked in the sectors southwest of Teruel.

B. Graham in city police court today. Because of his long record, he was sentenced to two years in Stony Mountain penitentiary. When Magistrate Graham asked Trottler if he had anything to say before sentence, the youth started a resume of his life. "My father and mother were divorced when I was two years old.

My father ouHU me up as best he could itt I missed a mother's influence. When I was 15 years old I was sent to the pen for four years." (Here the magistrate queried him as to the truth of the statement but allowed him to continue.) Learned Wrong Things "In the penitentiary I learned a lot of things I shouldn't. I went straight for some time after getting out. Then I met up with a woman and started using drugs. That has been my downfall ever since.

This time I Intend to go straight If you'll be as lenient to me as possible." Mr. Graham said "I have to think of the interests of the public. Besides, you have too many previous convictions against you. Two years." So the dark haired, pale young man will return to Stony Mountain. For a man cf 25 years of age, Trottler has an amazing list of crimes on his record sheet.

Reason he was sent to the penitentiary at the age of 15 was that he was Incorrigible and could not be kept at the home for juveniles, according to a detective official. He was shot in the hip by a farmer some years ago while escaping after a crime In the country. The burglary charge which Trot tier admitted Wednesday was in connection with a break in last month at the premises of Mrs. Kate O'Reilly, 12 Lee Court. Two watches and a manicure case, valued at $50, were stolen.

Trot tier was identified by Mrs. O'Reilly as the man she saw leaving her suite the night of the theft.

G. L. McNaughton, president of the research council at Ottawa, who Insisted the researchers are giving a large part of their attention to western problems. General McNaughton's statement came as a counterblast to Mr. Davidson's suggestion Tuesday, before the Young Men's section of the Bcsrd of Trade, that the council was unduly Influenced by eastern industry and political interests.

Ncc enough was being done to solve the problem of balance pro duction in the west Today Davidson amplified his stand. "It may be the desire of the research council to do things for the west but they are not being done "There Is a vast number of Items among agricultural surpluses wastes and organic materials in the west to which the research council could turn its attention, but not enough heed is paid to them. The research council itself suggested avenues of research along these lines in 1932, but nothing has been done since. "The simple fact Is that we in the west are entitled to a bigger share of the work being done oy the council. It is an organization supposed to help toward a balanced national production not merely to aid eastern manufacturers, practical though that work may be." Mr.

Davidson said that in 1923 public spirited citizens here proposed to form a Manitoba Research Institute to work in close relation with the National Research council. The principal objects of the Manitoba organization would be to discover natural resources and develop use of by products In mineral, timber, fur, game, fish and other industries; to Improve methods In farming: to assist In developing better methods in manufacturing, and to work for abolition of diseases and pests In animal and plant life. Because of the depression, financial aid from the Manitoba government for establishing the Manitoba Research Institute was not forthcoming. The feeling today was that the time had come to establish the institute. "What we want to form is an organization which knows western problems at first hand and ran work in co operation with the National Research council." 79 C0R GRAND NATIONAL LONDON, Jan.

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Female Whose Financial Acumen Doubted Male tactlessness and female sensitiveness were the underlying causes of a squabble which threatened to develop into a major battle between the sexes at the inaugural meeting of the 1938 Winnipeg Public School board, Wednesday night.

Gtrria Queen Hughes, fail Ing to persuade Mr. Cuddy to de rline the nomination, suggested that the "second term" tradition mad" it almost imperative for the board to re elect Mrs. Maclennan.

I Even when Mrs. Maclennan her self inquired If chivalry weie dead, i the males remained adamant. Mr. Cuddy got the chairmanship, the other men feeling that when the board's problems were of a financial nature it was a man's job. It was this implication that they were incapable of dealing with money matters which really got under the women'f skins, and It was more than they could beat whin the proposed personnel of the flnam commiltre wns found to be entirely mule.

Kung toured European capitals enlisting credit and munitions. General Ho Ying China, minister of war, veteran of the 1911 and 1913 revolutions and a graduate ot the Japanese military college, was named chief of the general staff. Officials insisted the government had enough money and arms for a long struggle. The Chinese government reorganization included establishment of six new boards and enlargement of the advisory council for national defense to a membership of 75. Left wing elements of the Kuo mlntang, national party, and lead ers of the Eighth Route Commun ist party were given some places on the council.

Excluding the October, which made its initial appearance today, the market closed with a big advance of 314 to 414 cents, with May wheat at $1.28. Export business confirmed In the early stages was small, but last minute reports indicated that around 500,000 bushels had been worked, along with fair sales of U.S. hard wheat and 1 dark Northern wheat.
