SI, (AP) The Lindbergh monoplane progressed another notch toward Nemuro 'today at the end of a towrope After having been stranded alnce early Wednesday because of fog and motor trouble off Koto! Island, the "black hole" of the Kurlle archla pcl&go, Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh were forced to accept the aid of the government steamship shlmushlru In getting thai helpless plane to an an chorage safer than the wild little Island 410 nllea northeast of here. Messages told of the towing of the plane from Ketol to Muioton bay, 16 miles to the southwest on Shl mushlru Island, where Colonel Lind bergh again went to work on the stubborn motor. . Darkness finally forced him to atop. . The motor still resisted hi efforts to put It In shape for the rest of the flight here, Worst Esporlence, . Incidentally, the colonel, who never haa said much about the perils of hts famous solo flight from New York to Paris in May, 1937. disclosed that his first night afloat In his plane In the treacherous currants off Ketol was "the worst I have aver experi enced - ' I Mr. Lindbergh shared that experl-' perlenoe with him. They re m a Ined j throughout the night In the cramped j, quarters of the plane, fev hundrt feat from the .rooky snores wnicn doubtless would have ground their plane to places had It got within reach., , . , . .,.-' t , Thursday .night, their second at Ketol', also furnished Its quota of terrors, but the Shlmuslru Maru. having arrived early that morning, was standing by. The ship towed the plane to another anchorage off the Island and the towllne parted sev eral times. On one oocaslon the plane narrowly escaped disaster on the rocks, . .. . -' Mend tap Mechanics, At Colonel Lindbergh's request, the department of communications' an nounced that Japanese mechanics were to start from Tokyo tonight to aid Id repairs to the big monoplane at Muroton bay. However; this seem ed at varlanoe with, the filer's per sonal message, which appeared to In dicate the motor trouble was not of serious nature. Wtvy) he would sk the aid of Japanese mechanics was not clear here, Lindbergh's two days of anxiety at Ketol was said to have been more for the safety of his plane than for Mrs. Lindbergh and -himself. : This was relieved by the arrival at Muro ton bay, which la a perfect harbor. Messages Indicated the colonel was hopeful of repairing the motor alone and possibly of getting started for Nemuro Saturday or Sunday. As an emergency measure, however, he ask ed the communications department to send mechanics to Nemuro to wait further orders In the event he Is unable to make the repairs with out help. , Plane Undamaged. The towing to Muroton bay was completed without mishap, the being calm. Aa tar a was known; the plane was not damaged.

Previous dispatches from the Shl mushlru Maru to the department of communications Indicated the trou ble was In the plane'a carburetor, which tailed to vaporise gasoline, probably on account of exceaslve moisture., . . That motor trouble was not the only reason for the Lindberghs' ac ceptance of the Shlmushlru Mum's tow, however, was generally acknowl edged here. Heavy toga continued to enshroud the central Kurlles today and the sea were roughening, i .

(4 1- ' STORY 1 (Oontlnoed From Page One) Very naturally they rejected this pro posal. v,-.',.. "The wage reduction sought would have placed the Med!ord printers on the lowest wage scale of any ot the SI local unions In the Northwest, and below the wagea prevailing In the In dustry In the United states and Can ada. "Aalde from the wage reduction, the 'open ahop demand meant that the union printers must sever their union connections, and sacrifice all old age pension, mortuary benefits and entrance to the printers' home for the aged and sick.

In addition, Indirect costs estimat ed to run Into the hundreds of mil lions were noted, even where actual figures were unavailable. Ooldtftwalte H. Dorr, and S. P. Simpson, of the New York bar, who engineered the study for the commis sion, asserted these figures were but fragmentary. It was "wholly Im possible," they added, to make an accurate estimate of the total eco nomic coat ot criminality In the United States. . It was pointed out that the limita tions of time and funds had balked even an estimate upon such huge levies as those extracted by organized bootlegging, extortion, racketeering, thefts of uninsured property, fraudu lent bankruptcies, bucketahops, and confidence games, ranging from t,ie sale of "gold, bricks" to fixing rights and races. ' , -However, the findings actually set down In statistical form were said by tho entire commission to "strikingly com Inn the ecaurhoy of the general belief that crime Imposes a tremen dous economic tburden on the com-, mutiny." - ; , - "It should not require the drama tic effect of some lump-sum total figure,'; the commission said, "to emphasize the Imparlance and neces sity, from a-purely economic stand point, ot dealing adequately with the problem of preventing crime and controlling the criminal." Nevertheless, Vie 11 members made clear they did not advocate a reduc tion In the cost of crime through slicing the cost of law enforcement agencies. The -commission asserted these costs were "of less economic importance than the losses inflicted by the criminal, so that It Is much more Important from an economic standpoint to Increase the efficiency or tne administration of criminal Justice than to decrease Its cost." The commission recommended t,hat "nationwide thorough and scientific studies of racketeering and organized extortion should be made. . ('- Broken windows glased by Trow bridge Cabinet Works.
