from the third senatorial district to
fill the uRexpired term of the late
Frank Bancroft, Democrat. Ralph
Wine of near Woodside is filed for
commissioner from the third Levy
Court district, which is nip and
tuck between the two parties, and
Samuel L. Conwell of Dover, for
commissioner from the first Levy
Court district, which occasionally
has gone Republican. There was
no filing for commissioner from the
second Levy Court district, which
has been a Democratic stronghold.
This is left to be filed by the coun-
ty committee. There is also still
some doubt about the fourth SEN
atorial district, which includes the
second Levy Court district, and
has been strongly Democratic. The
committee may fill out the party's
senatorial slate in this district.
Hold-over county officers chosen in
the by-election for four-year terms
are: Enoch Y. Williams, Dover, re-
corder of deeds; John Merritt Hurd
of Willow Grove, clerk of the Or
phans' Court and register in Chan
Gerry, and John ]. Hurd, receiver of
taxes and county treasurer.

OILY TIId SdlihCIy W OPCIdtS
Welcome news has come to
Smyrna in the announcement
the old John H. Hoffecker
Tomato Cannery is to be run
again. A lease has been eff
fected by which the Apte
Brothers Company, operators
of a factory chain, will take
over the Hoffecker Cannery
and run it this season. The
Apte Brothers have their
main office at Miami, Florida,
with a branch in New York
City. They operate a chain
of factories in four states and
are experienced Gamers. In
taking hold Of the Hoffecker
plant in Smyrna they have let
it be known they want to en-
ploy all home labor and pay
our local farmers the highest
cash market price for their to-
matoes. This means that in
operating their Smyrna plant
will put considerable money in
circulation here, news that
will be welcome not only to
our farmers, but to Smyrna
merchants and business men.
The Hoffecker plant has been
practically idle since the death
of Walter o. Hoffecker and

the loss of this old home in
dustry greatly. Now that it
is to be operated by a sub
stantial, going concern, Smyr-
ma business interests are
pleased.

from northern markets have also
been received by the brokers that
many of the peaches had failed to

RISK OF FIRE,
 JUNEAU AREA,
 IS VERY HIGH
Forest Service Office Gives Warning Stop
 Burning Debris

The Forest Service office an- nounces that the fire hazard in the Juneau area is now very high. All burning of debris is prohibited for the duration of the present dry spell except under special permit from the Forest Service. A fire pa- trol of the Glacier Highway is being put into operation today for the re- mainder of the danger period.
 These are very unusual conditions for Alaska and the risk is especially high as the population is not at all fire conscious" Hearty coop eration is urgently requested by all users of forest areas.
 Attention is also called to Ter ritorial laws holding private prop erty owners liable for costs and damages resulting from fires spreading to National Forest Land.
 The Forest Service will appreci- ate having any uncontrolled fire re- ported at once.

PARIS, June 6.-Socialist Pre- mier Leon Blumb went before the French Parliament today with a New Deal program intended to re- vive business relieve farmers and satisfy demands of labor and also peace for all Europe through col- lective security.
 Premier Blum in announcing his foreign policy said nearly one mil lion workers are striking in the nation.
 One of the first acts of the new Premier was to replace Jean Tan nery as Governor of the Bank of France. The move is interpreted as the first step in the program to change control of the bank.
 Premier Blum stalked out of the Chamber of Deputies under an up- roarious barrage of invectives which suspended the Chambers session. The demonstration reached its height when Xavier Valat, Right ist, shouted. This is the first time Gallic Roman country mas ever been governed by a Jew"

LANDON SUPPORTERS
 MAKE THEIR CLAIMS
Knox Campaign Manager Says Man Will Show
 Them at Cleveland

CLEVELAND, Ohio, June G. Flat refusal of United States Sena- tor Arthur H. Vandenberg, of Michigan, to accept the Republican Vice. Presidential nomination, today overshadowed a series of vigorous objections here to the claims of Landon supporters
 An Associated Press dispatch re- ceived here from Was in gt n, states Senator Vandenberg said he will be of greater service in active labors on the Senate floor than silent on the rostrum" It is said here Senator Vanden- berg will be placed in nomination for the Presidency although he has taken the position that he wants to be an innocent bystander."
 Claims Are Made
 Landon supporters raised the claims today that their delegate strength will be 400 on the first bal lot, within 102 of enough to nom- mate.
 Edward Hayes, Knox campaign manager, claims Knox will poll 230 up to 261 on the first ballot. Hayes said Landon will be unable to carry Illinois, even if he has to apologize for his having supported the New Deal"
 Leaders of the Stop Landon" movement, according to the Cleve- land News, are said to be rallying around the former Illinois Cover nor. Frank Lawden, a man all could support"
 The leaders opposed to Landon have sent telegrams to all favor ite son delegations now on the way here urging them to stand pat for their candidates on the first ballot.
 More Politics
 Late this afternoon reports were circulated that the names of Glenn Frank, President of the University VI W ioIOiioAi, ollo alCO OCliatOA Vandenberg are under considera- tion for Presidential nomination but other reports said this was only in the event Lowden is unavailable
 Denials that any such action is forthcoming came from the camps of Knox and Borah although nothing more was said than that they are making common battle against Landon and still fighting for their own candidates.
 Has Elm Guessing
 Much debate has arisen over the announcement from Washington by Senator Vandenberg that he is not candidate for the Vice. Presidential nomination. The state ment is taken to mean that he will shift from Landon.

 l feel it absolutely essential that our auto driving regulations should be enforced and I see no better way of enforcing them than to first ap- peal to everyone's pride and sense Of safety when driving.
 It should be as indispensably nec- essary for each and every one oi us to always try to drive carefully as sunshine is indispensable to plants.

TO DIVE FROM
 BRIDGE AT 3

At 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Chuck Dominy will dive from the Douglas Bridge. Dominy spent sev- eral hours today in the vicinity of the bridge, studying tidal condi- tions and evidence of snags, which have been reported there.
 Although not entirely satisfied with the conditions, Chuck said that he will dive from the exact middle of the big structure, mark ing the first time such leap has been attempted.
 News Reels of Dive
 Leonard Delano, representing the International Newsreel Service, will record the event, from boat under the bridge. The U. s. Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa will have boat standing by to pick up the young man after the exhibition.
 Dominy, who is making the stunt from a purely amateur standpoint, wished it understood that he is re- ceiving no remuneration of any kind. He is doing it merely for the distinction of being the first, and at the urgent request of his friends here who recognize him as a diver of merit.
 Official Alaska Road Commission records show the bridge to be ap- proximately 60 feet over the water at mean tide. Dominy has chosen 3 o'clock as best for tidal reasons.
