Aalesund. Norway, April T.

They thought the judg- ment day had come when the first great wave, roared through the villages and struck their little homes. It immersed the power plant and plunged the valley into darkness.
 Cries of drowning persons, groans of victims. buried in debri. of houses. continued until there came a second wave, which swal- lowed up many who were calling from windows for help.
 The pastor of the tiny church a, Tafjord-the larger of the villaGs. with population of 200-said to a United Press correspondents:

REPUBLICANS IN
 MUCH TROUBLE
 OVER CHAIRMAN
Three COrnered Battle Is Still in VieW-WOmen
 in the Argument

Slowly, surely and very quietly the local republicans are preparing for the battle over the position o1 chairman of the s. o. p. town com. mittee that is to come early this fall. Although the date is quite g distance away as yet 1t Is known definitely that the local ward chair men have held one secret meeting and, in addition, certain other groups throughout the city havt sat down and discussed the question of who will be the party head here in the event that Town Chairman T. E. Conway is deposed.
 That the fight will be a three sided one is the general opinion now. Attorney Conway is a candi- date for reelection as town chair man. It is a widely known fact that ex-Alderman John w. Jaeger would take the post if the party asked him to. And in the back ground it is reported candidate satisfactory to the Pape-Cooney combine is being groomed.
 Chairman is Puzzle
 The question of the town chair manship, rather than organization, appears to be the most important matter up for discussion among the republicans of the city at the present time. that is, as far as the men are concerned.
 On the other hand the Water. bury Women's Republican clut will sponsor a. meeting of g.o.p women of this city and surround. ing towns at the home of Mrs Alice Dow on Monday. Major Ed ward L.. White. formerly of Wa terbury, and Mrs Frances L. Roth, both of New Haven, will be the speakers. Mrs Roth is head of the New Haven domestic relations court.
 One of the subjects to be brought, possibly, will be the com- ing congressional campaign. The club will back Congressman D. w. Goss for renomination and reelec- tion and the women of New Haven and Litchfield counties attending
