Portland, Ore, Oct. 4.-P)-Alleged
Communistic activities in Portland

Communism.
The Portland investigation was
brought ABOUT through the efforts
of r. P. Borl1am. district immigration
director. Recently several alleged
Communists were arrested here and
Bonham's investiga ion Of their &C
Invites led him to believe the stu
alton warranted study by the COM

ceedings and several of the others,
who proved themselves citizens, were
held for prosecution under the state

this dolomite district after several
weeks of Alpine sports, leaving be-
hind him records of mountain climb
ing equalled by few if any OF the
crowned heads in history.
Albert, with his guides, brothers

six cloud piercing peaks-Brenta sum-
init, East Brenta wall. Lower Castle,
Refuge Cross, Lower Brenta, and Low
Tower.
During the climb of Brenta's sum-
nit, which is IL 1000 feet high, Albert
performed an heroic feat for which
he has received the sincere thanks OF
his guides.
AS he stood on a rock jutting from
q perpendicular side of the mountain.

rock was giving way. Albert moved
quickly to another rock but with great
presence of mind continued to sup
port the tumbling rock with his breast
and hands, lest 1t should fall on the

Only when the guides had moved
out of the way did Albert release the
rock which plunged into the valley
below. Sne@t44 AN
