Trotzky Is kept In Prance, It waa

PORTLAND, Ore.. Dec. 27. (AP)
The United States attorney's office
revealed today, upon word from Wash
ington, D. C, that indictments had
been returned against E. C. Solinsky.
discharged superintendent of Crater
Lake national park, and two subordi
nates, accused of payroll manipula
tions. The three men were secretly In
dicted by the federal grand Jury. Two
of them. Arnold R. Edwin, former
park paymaster, and I. H. (Ike) Da
vidson, former superintendent . of
park construction, are under arrest,
but Solinsky, believed to be some
where In northern California, has not
yet been taken Into custody.
Hugh L. Biggs, deputy United States
attorney here, said a six months' In
vestigation led to the discovery of
what he described aa "wholesale em
bezzlement" (ln the administering of
park funds.
David Hon i held In Jail hara In
lieu of 1000 ball. Edwin gave $1500
ball In Medford, Biggs aald.
Attorney Biggs said his Investiga
tion had disclosed that $2600 In false
paychecks had been, cashed at the
park.
Solinsky became superintendent of
Crater Lake park In 1020 and waa
discharged last May. He was In the
park service for many years.
Carl C. Donaugh, United State at
torney, aald that ten days' search for
Solinsky In northern California where
he was last known to have been, have
been fruitless. He has In the past
few weeks been buying cedar for a
pencil company.
"There Is a possibility that he went
Into the hills again on a buying
trip," Donaugh said, "and he may
have been trapped In some remote
sector by the heavy snowfalls."
Has Much Evidence.
Deputy Attorney Biggs said he has
a bulky sheaf of evidence against the
accused man. Investigation Indicated,
he said, that number of workmen
were carried on the park payroll after
they had been discharged, and that
the pay-checks Issued after their dis
charge were cashed by Solinsky and
his aides.
Biggs said Edwin had admitted de
talis of the alleged conspiracy. On
one occasion, It was stated, the entire
sum stipulated In a wood-cutting con
tract was paid, but the work was only
partly completed.
The contractor was forced to re
turn the sum for the unfinished part
of the contract to Edwin for Solin
sky. Biggs said he was told that when
Investigators began to check Irregu
larities in the park, Solinsky ordered
Edwin to borrow nearly 300, which
was the sum obtained from the con
tractor, and place It In a Medford
vault of the park management, to
make It appear the contract accounts
were In order.
Rnat Unauthorised.
Davidson was drawn Into the caac.
Biggs said, when he waa ordered to
construct a boat for use on Crater
Late. The boat had not been auth
orized by the national park bureau,
Davidson waa aald to have revealed,
but Solinsky told him authorisation
was a mere formality and that David
son was to be reimbursed for about
$800 of his own money used In build
ing the craft. When the authoriza
tion was not forthcoming, Blgge said
Davidson stated. Solinsky told him
the only way he could get his money
back was by falsely attesting payrolls.
