AIDE Manninen of Winton is Ian
gushing in the Lake County Jail al
Two Harbors awaiting grand jury in
|vestigation on the charge of having
threatened the life of Matt West with
a gun on Sunday evening.
West is the caretaker at Weigen's re-
sort on Eastwood and Manninen visited
him on Sunday evening. West was in
the act of shaving and when finished
Manninen invited him outside stating
that he had a drink hidden in the
bushes.
On arrival at the spot where the
drink was to have been hidden, Manni-
men reached into the bushes and pull
ed out a rifle and told West that now
he had him. He pulled the trigger but
their was no shell in the gun. West
started into the woods nearby while
Manninen pumping the gun without
exploding the shells in the excitement of
seeing West get away.
West made his way to Winton where
he swore out complaint against Man
ninen and he was charged with attemp-
ted murder. Sheriff Nelson of Lake
County came up to make the arrest and
upon arrival pressed Chief Warden
William into service to assist him in
finding Manninen.
They found Manninen and O. Chicago

Memorial Scholarship

Memory Of Former Dean to

for Scholarship.
MEDAL TO BE GIVEN
Student Award Will Mark
Highest Rating During
College Work.

On Friday morning the Junior College
met to dedicate the Santo Memorial
Scholarship Award which win be given
each year to the college sophomore who
has earned the highest rating during
the two years Of college attendance The
recipient of this award must demon
strate, in addition to high scholarship
achievement, general all around ability
and development, but scholarship viii
be the foundation.
The assembly was the first Of the
annual Santo Memorial services which
win be held each year during the last
weeks of school The award viii be In
the form Of medal and perhaps later,
as The scholarship fund grows, there
will be a financial award. This recog-
milton is the highest to be given in the
school system and will only be given
to students who have shown consist
emily high scholastic achievements.
Due to the fact that former Dean
Santo stressed, above all things, high
excellence in college work, it was
thought fitting that his memory be per-
petuated through affiliating his name
with movement in which he has long
been associated and active. The assem-
bly, program was as follows:

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The Heron Lake News says
that it was formerly the opinion
that it was better for a man to
be in business for himself than
to work for someone else but
during the depression this has
changed. The lucky ones now
are those on a salary basis and
who have been able to hang on
to their job. Any man in bust
ness will tell you that this is
no joke as all he has left for
his share in the book accounts
while the help got the cash.

Minnesota has seven candi-
dates for U. S. Senator; 6S for
congress; eight for governor ;
ten for lietenant governor; four
for secretary of state; four for
state treasurer; eight for attor-
ney general; four for railroad
and warehouse commissioner,
and six for associate justice of
the supreme court. The state
has 119 candidates for eighteen
jobs. There will be 101 candi-
dates who will feel unlucky and
abused after election.

thought that something should
be done about it. The figures

Bingham
Sees No War
AtPreSent
international News Service

The seriousness of the European
situation today caused Robert w.
Bingham, American Ambassador to
Great Britain, to interrupt the
brief holiday at his home in Ken
lucky to confer here with President
Roosevelt and the State Depart
ment.
1t was understood that a decision
would be reached following his
conference with the President
whether he would return immedi-
ately to London or return to Louis
vile for the remainder of his holi-
day. He said:
81 do not believe there is any
immediate danger of a general
war in Europe. The situation is
dangerous and trying, but the
most hopeful element is that the
fact that none of the govern
ments themselves want war at
the present time"
Bingham, who was a luncheon
guest at the White House, said he
had come here from his home in
Louisville, KY, in order to see the
President before the latter left
for his fishing trip in Florida
waters.

u. 5. NEUTRAL
STANDARDIZED
International News Service

AntefnaIlOnaI news service
The situation in Europe today
is graver than it was in 1914, but
whatever happens the American
course is to be one Of neutrality
and aloofnesS.
Senator Key Pittman, chairman
of the Senate Foreign Relations
committee. made this observation
today to International News SerV-
ice in an interview. He said:
81 regard the situation over
there far graver than it was in
1914. But this country is in an
entirely different pOSitiOn-nOt
only because of the neutrality
act, but because of the broad
implications in that act.
This is the first time in his
tory that any country has taken
such a firm stand on this queS'
ton of neutrality.
"The implications from the
act are that the Congress of the
United States is determined to
keep out of any foreign war,
not of our own making.
"The embargo on arms, am
munitiOn and implements of war
is, after all, the most important
thing in the act. Those were
the only things always recOg-
nized in international law as
cOntraband. There never was
any great complaint on the part
of Germany during the World
War over food and other similar
shipments. The chief bitterness
was that we supplied arms, am
munitiOn and implements of
war.
"And now, in case of any
foreign trouble, there would be
no arms exported from our
shores"

Sarraut Flags Hitler Reputation
OF Treaty ''Freely Entered''

must maintain in vain that the
FrancO-SOviet treaty is directed
against Germany. The text
shows its only object is assist
ance against an aggresSOr state
and is not aimed at Germany,
since the two contracting par
ties renew their undertaking to
follow on toward conclusion of
a wider treaty in which their
assistance would be ensured to
Germany if the latter should
be attacked"
Sarraut denied France had
promised more to Russia than she
would owe as a member of the
League. 1t was incorrect to say,
he stated, that France took upon
herself alone the right to decide
who was an aggreSor.
1t was enough, said the premier.
for the League Council to recog-
nize an aggressor for this appre-
citation to be binding upon France.
Moreover, he stated, France could
not act in a maner contrary to
the appreciation of the guarantorS
of the Locarno pact.

followed except on Inauguration
of new government.
Sarraut referred to the Locarno
pact by stating:
"The conclusion of this pact
justified the most ardent hopes
for peace. In a memorandum
handed to the signatOry govern
mentS and then in a speech by
Chancellor Hitler before the
ReichStag, the government of
the Reich attempted to justify
an act which no nation could
admit as long as there exists
an international law which is
incompatible with the doctrines
of force, tending to place fait
accOmpli above respects for en-
gagementS freely entered into"
Regarding the grave issue Of
French security, which for genera
tions has been the keystone of
French foreign policy, Sarraut
declared violation of the demill-
tarized zone touched our own Sc.
curity, but more gravely it af-
fectS the future of European
peace, the organization of collec-
tive security, and the League OF
Nations"
Calls Action Brutal
Sarraut was bitter regarding
the legal aspects of the Hitler
coup. He said:
"TO the French request to
Hitler to define the basis of con-
verSatiOns to be held, we were
answered by reputation of a
treaty freely negotiated and the
sudden, brutal reOccupatiOn of
the demilitariZed zone.
France is always ready to
submit any wrongs imputed to
her to international arbitration.

TEETH TAKEN
TOO EARLY

Juniors buck teeth, ugly as they
are, are not entirely Juniors fault
because he sucked his thumb as a
baby. More often than not
Juniors parents are to blame for
having his baby teeth extracted
too early.
This was the substance of a re-
port by DR.. George A. Anderson,
of the Baltimore College of Dental
Surgery and the Dental School
of the University of Maryland, ad-
dressing the Five State Post Grad
uate Dental Clinic of 1000 den
lists at the Wardman Park Hotel
today.
Of 200 cases of crooked teeth
studied. DR.. Anderson said, so per
cent were found to have been
caused by too early extraction of
baby teeth, and only Is per cent
caused by habits of the child.
Parents wait too long before
taking children to the dentist, DR..
Anderson pointed out, Stressing
the necessity of bringing the child
to the dentist before the age of six.
MalformationS in the mouth of
a child of three can be readily
corrected. Later than that the
task is more difficult.
DR.. Anderson was inclined to
minimize the evils of the teething
ring, as an aid to tooth cutting,
except as it was germ-beaI-
instrument.
DR.. Vernon J. Lohr and DR.. Ed
mond j. Bottazzi were to address
the dentists later today.

At the same time neutral OBJ
servers agree any sanctions, no
matter how feeble, could have
such consequences to German
pride that their imposition would
greatly heighten the already grave
danger of war.
Any way they look at it now the
French see the future blacker

Rhineland before negotiations be

Then came Premier Paul Van Zee,

retary Eden, who hurried over from
London after making Britain's
statement of policy in the House

All the principals arrived alone,

A crowd of more than 500
anxious faces gathered outside
the foreign office to watch the
diplomats assemble, and disap,

METZ, France. March 10
G.N.SO IA pilot who apparently
lost his way in the dusk was
believed responsible today for a
mild German airplane" scare
that sent French planes aloft in
a futile search over the village
of Waldwisse on the frontier.
No sign of the plane was seen,
and the story of one WaldwiSse
resident that he had seen
Swastika on the plane was dis
counted because it was semi-dark
at the time.
