CHIEF 0USTED,
 FIREMEN QUIT
SunCOOk, New Hampshire, Is Without Fire PrOtec.
 tiOn; Political Game

Suncook, N. H.. April 7.-(UP)- All eighteen of Suncook's volunteer firemen were on strike today in pro- test against the busting of their yet- eran chief. The walkout left this industrial town of 2700 inhabitants without fire protection except for the bucket brigade which citizens prepared to organize should the siren sound from atop the fire sta- ton. Of course any such emergency also would bring aid from Concord, seven miles away, and from Allens- town, just across the Suncook river.
 It was action taken at last months town meeting that led to the strike. A republican was elected to the board of selectmen, giving the g. o. p. 8 two-to-one majority. Previously democrats had controlled the board.
 Old Chief Ousted
 Walter E. Edmonds, who had been fire chief for some 20 years and who was said to have demo- cratic leanings, was busted by the selectmen last night. AS his success sor the board appointed Chester Robinson, a republican who has been a member of the private fire department of the local mill where he is chief electrician. Charging that the selectmen were making a poll tical football of Edmonds, the de- posed chiefs Is loyal laddies re- moved their belongings from the fire station lockers and went home deaf to any alarms that might be turned in. They would chase no more fires at $1 per fire until Ed monds was reinstated, they chorused
 They Are Adamant
 The two republicans controlling the board of selectmen remained adamant, insisting that the $1 1,500-a- year plum represented by the chiefs job should go to Robinson. Should sn alarm sound while the strike ia iii progress, citizens doubtless would man Suncook'S lone piece of apparatus-a motorized chemical and take places in the bucket lines Only a couple of months ago, when fire swept a dwelling on Pembroke Hill where there were no hydrants, a bucket brigade was used.

 For vice-president he has chosen one George Potgetter of Steamboat Rock, Ia. He said he has offered Father Charles Coughlin, Detroit radio priest, a job in his cabinet, UuL TLGIlcI NOubLhAA Auo AiVV AC piled. But Harry won't be discour- aged. He campaigned for President Roosevelt four years ago, but said he's disappointed the way things turned out. Harry's blue eyes gleamed as he leaned luxuriously against a tank car to talk over his plans.
 Everyone is fed up with the re- publican and democratic parties" Harry said. This country needs a new party"
 Harry has no use for the su- preme court. He said it's only a mouthpiece for Wall Street, and he intends to prove 1t.
 He has confined his campaigning to Britt, Steamboat Rock and Grinnell, Ia, go far, but plans to branch out into other states as soon as the Iowa convention is over.

CHINA MAKES
 BIG PROTEST

Nanking, China, April 7-fUP)-- China has protested vigorously to Russia against the Russian-outer Mongolian Mutual Assistance treaty as . violation of Chinese sovereign ty, the foreign office announced to- day. China will not recognize the treaty in any circumstances. 1t was said. The protest is based on Rus sia's agreement in 1924 to recognize outer Mongolia as an integral part of China. The protest was designed in part to refute charges that Chinas silence about the mutual aS- sistance treaty indicated secret Russian Chinese understanding against Japan and it's foster state Aanchukuo.
