NEW OFFICERS
 AND CREW NOW . ON NTALLApooSA
Captain N. C. Ricketts to Have Nearly Entire
 New Staff

The U. S. Coast Guard Cutter Tallapoosa returned to her home base at the Juneau Government dock at T o'clock last night, nearly two days earlier than her new Cap tain. Lieutenant Commander N. G. Ricketts had expected. We had such beautiful weather all the way up the inside passage that we did, mt slow down or stop as we had planned we might" said the Cap tain this morning.
 Several ather new officers are aboard the vessel, and before the end of the year practically the en- tire commissioned personnel will probably be new, as all of the vet erans have completed three years or more on this station and are in line for transfer
 Imlay Transferred
 Lieut.. Miles Inlay returned as executive officer, but is expecting to go south Monday on the Yukon, having been transferred to St. Pet ersburg, Florida, to command the catser Nemesis, sister ship to the cutter Cyane now at Ketchikan.
 Lieut.. H. F. Stoffi, navigating of ficer. will act as Executive Officer when Lieut.. Inlay leaves, and un- til Lieut.. c. A. A. Anderson returns from the States where he is now on vacation until November. Lieut.. Anderson is Chief Engineer, but acted as Executive Officer under Lieut.. Inlay when Commander Brown left last winter, and is ex- pected to again act in the double capacitlty for a time. Lieut.. Stoffi is expected to transfer some time after November.
 Dr. So1Dder Aboard
 Assistant Surgeon w. D. SoWder, United States Public Health Service, is aboard the vessel in place of Dr. J. P. Mayer, who is now stationed at the Marine Hospital in Seattle
 Ensign w. M. Peel has resigned and the resignation has been ac- cepted as of November l. He plans to enter business for himself ir Portland, Oregon.
 Ensign J. E. Richey, who grad. uated from the Coast Guard Ac- ademy at New London, Connecticut this year, is another newcomer on board the cutter.
 More Changes Probable
 There will probably be three o1 four new officers before the end o1 the year, to replace present shortage or forthcoming transfers" said Capt. Ricketts. So I naturally intend to become as familiar as possible with the district before the remaining veterans of this station have gone" Machinist A. L. Fin negan is acting Chief Engineer in the absence of Lieut. Anderson. J R. Harris, Pay Clerk. is on leave At least third of the enlisted personnel of 62 is also new, many of them recently enlisted as ap- prentice seamen.
 Remain Here Two Weeks
 Unless some emergency call is re- ceived, the Tallapoosa will probably remain tied at the local dock for the next two weeks. The crew this morning started work cleaning boil
 
 CTS, and it is the plan of the cap- tain to get in rifle practice during the present stay if possible.
 Lieut. Comdr. and Mrs. Ricketts will take house here in the next few days Mrs. Ricketts and their three children are now staying al the Gastineau.
 Here For First Time

BERLIN, Sept. II. = Hermann Reischle, Nazi Agricultural leader today contrasted the ruthless ex- ploitation. of Soviet Russian peas- ants for the benefit of Jewish para sites," with what he said were Hit ler's constructive efforts on behalf Iof the German farmers.
 The campaign appears to be lead ing systematically to practical ac- ton and it is believed in some wide- ly official circles that a definite step is imminent. Some sugges- tions are advanced that as the re- suit of the campaign, Germany may withdraw the German Ambassador from Moscow because Soviet Rus sia is trying to get Jews to go there.
 Some quarters linked Germany and Italy in a predicted crusade toward establishing an information al bloc opposing the Red Govern mental practices.

LEAGUE DOUBTS SANCTIONS.
Council Invites Germany to Partici-
pate in Locarno Talks.

pate in Locarno Talks.
GENEVA, March 10 LP).-Brisith
Foreign Secretary Anthony Edens
address to the House of Commons,
setting forth a conciliatory British
stand IN the Locarno pact crisis,
created an impression in League of
Nations quarters today that apphca-
tion of sanctions against Germany
was unlikely
League officials attributed great i'm
portance to Eden's declaration yes
terday that Britain would march
with France and Belgium" If Ger
many violated her frontiers, but saw
tacit warning that Britain would
not approve drastic action for Ger
many's occupation of the demilitar-
lied Rhineland.
This impression was strengthened,
League authorities said, by Edens
statement that Britain was not dis
posed to reject summarily Hitler's pro-
posals for new security system after
he broke the Locarno pact and Ver-
sailles treaty Saturday by sending his
troops to the left bank of the Rhine.
The League Council invited Ger
many to participate in an examination
OF the Locarno dispute at Fridays ses-
sion, called to hear the French and
Belgian appeals against the German
action.
League sources looked eagerly to the
capitals of Europe-particular Paris
where representatives of signatories to
the Locarno pact were meeting-for
further indications of what might now
take the place of the old security sys-
tenn.
