| is possibility the District could use
| temporarily some of the buildings al
ready existing in this area to take care
of municipal agencies that have to
move In the near future.

that it was possible to repair the cooler
here and that they could finish the re-
pairs today Capt. Albin Ahrenberg
was informed, however, that the weather
outlook toward Greenland was unfavor-
able.
Postponement of the departure Of the
Swedish aviators on the third lap of
their flight from Stockholm to New

had to adopt the expedient of pouring
coffee into the cooler when returning
from their last attempt.

it was first thought they were headed

Capt Ahrenberg had planned to start
for Ivigtut some time during the day.

STATE WOULD TRY AGENT.

INTERNATIONAL FALLS, MINI.
June IL (P.-The State of Minnesota
indicated today through David Hurl-
burt. Koochiching County, attorney. IL
would resist efforts of the Federal Gov
ernment to take from its hands the case
of E. j. White. border patrolman. who
killed Henry Virkula.
White is held on charge of second
degree manslaughter, while a many
sided investigation is under way BY
State and Federal authorities.
Three reports were before authorities
today. one holding the shooting of the
Big Falls confectioner justified, another
saying the killing was "unwarranted'
and third characterizing it as "cul-
pably negligent act"
I'm most of these cases the Federal
authorities succeed in taking the juris-
diction from the State court" Hurlburt
said. I'VE will resist all such efforts in
this case and fight 1t to the last.
IF the court at the preliminary hear
ing set for Monday holds that there is
case will come up during the October
term of the District Court.
"I shall ask a grand jury investiga-
ton at the proper time because White
can only be tried under a grand jury
indictment"
Hurlburt said he was satisfied the
evidence in the case shows culpable
negligence on the part of the customs
patrolman.
This case is not only case against
a customs patrolman who did not use
his head and acted without any kind OF
Justification" he continued, "it is
against an intolerable system employed
by these men in the enforcement OF
prohibition. The anger of the people
of this community Is directed against
the system rather than against an in
dividual. They do not want to be sub
jected to possible assassination when
they travel on their own roads.
"They will insist that this system
through the case of the State against
White, be put on trial In our own
courts"
Border patrolmen, in a report to the
customs ONCE at Duluth, held thai
White was justified when he opened
fire on Virkula's car as the latter drove
along the highway with his wife anc
two children.
Henry A. Roberts, special agent foi
the Treasury Department, reported his
belief that the shooting was wholly
unjustified and unwarranted." anc
