Henderson told officers that his
home was in Yakima and that he
lived in tourist park near the Ter
race Heights bridge. He said he
had been in a CCC camp in Idaho
at one time, but was not now con-

fathers rifle and traded it for the
small revolver he used in the hold
up.
Richter Wins Praise
Yakima officers who examined
the sedan stolen by Henderson said
that one of the bullets which struck
the car missed hitting the occupants
by a few inches. They praised
Sheriff Richter for capturing the
young bandit. He not only had to
drive at high speed on the slippery

has been conducting his produce
business alone.
Mr.. Gleason had been the only
cash buyer of produce operating in
this section for the past two years

British admiralty reported SO ships
sunk in the week ending April %, the
largest in any week since the unre-
stricted submarine warfare began.
Britains papers were alarmed over
the. report, and the seriousness of the
crisis is suggested in the autobio-
graphy of j. r. Clynes, who was war
time food controller:
Britain was slowly turning the tide
at the fronts, but if food riots had de-
veloped at home, our armies would
have to sue ANONYMOUSLY for peace at
any price.
when I took up my new appoint
ment food troubles were very near :.
Before the war, our merchant SER
vice totalled about 10 million tons.
When I became food controller, only
about 5 million tons remained in the
service of carrying foodstuffs.
Gas I sat through the long, nerve
wracking days in my office, dealing
with whirling lists of figures, meeting
populations from great business or
CARNATIONS, or trying to soothe angry
Labour representatives who came
breathing threats of deadly strikes
that would have brought Britain to
her knees before Germanys might
las if keeping time with this dread
full rhythm, a tape-machine in the
next room licked away with madden
ing stolidity 1t recorded nothing but
the sinking of food ships -.
"The time came when it seemed
that the Allies could not build fast
enough, and we thought we had lost
the war because the shipyards were
being beaten by the submarines.
I'm this sore strait we took the
desperate decision of weakening our
hard-pressed armies in France, despite
the frantic opposition of the generals,
who prophesized a German break
through at any moment.
Thousands of ship-yard men were
raced back from the 'front.'.
Before the Germans realized that
they could break through, fresh, half
trained levies had been hurried out
from England
A Copenhagen dispatch said that
widespread strikes in Hamburg, Ber-
lin and Leipzig had forced the SUI
spension of the food card system for
the day. From Turkey came news
that sugar had reached SIS a pound,
coffee SO a pound tea Sc a pound,
with other food articles at cores
ponding prices.
