bandits, armed with machine guns.
held up the Lincoln branch of the
Puget Sound National Bank here at
10 o'clock this morning and escaped
with between three and four thou

Frank Freihage, a market EN-
ployee, was slugged, receiving a Sc

tered the bank to make a deposit
just as the bandits we're making
their getaway.
The robbers locked Is men in the
bank vault and then hurriedly
scooped up all the available cash
they could find.
Boldly Planned
That the robbery was boldly
planned was shown by the fact that
the bandits had chosen a time when
most of the city's police force, and
most of the residents, were down
in the main part of the city watch
ing the daffodil festival parade thai
was being held.
First holding up Howard Bous-
quet, taxi driver, the bandits bound
him and left him at an isolated
spot a short distance from ths
bank, using his cab for making theil
getaway They later abandoned
the cab, along with a barrel con-
tanning $500 in silver on the tide
flats at the opposite side of town
Shots Fired
After the robbery, Bank Manager
G. w. Greening said the first he
knew of the hold-up was when q
tall, six-foot man walked into his
office and fired several shots into
the floor at his feet.
This is the same bank that was
held up last January Is by Robert
Meyer, a 17-year-old high school,
student who was wounded in the
arm by Greening during the hold
up but escaped, to be captured later
IN Spokane hospital. Meyer es-
capped with $3,012 which was nearly
all recovered when he was captured

CRITICIZE HULL
over ATTITUDE
JAPAN INVASION
Wants Secretary Of State
to Take Firm Stand on
Alaska Fishing

SEATTLE, April 10. - Salmon
packing interests and American fish
ermen are criticizing Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull's statement min
imizing the probability of japanese
fishermen invading the North Pa
cific waters.
Bert McGovern, salmon broker,
said Secretary Hull should not be
content with beliefs. This is a
serious situation. He should take
a firm stand that the japanese
should agree to stay entirely out OF
the northern grounds
Are Now Invading
Louis Mostad, Secretary of the
Alaska Fishermen's Union criticized
Secretary Hull as impossible and
indecisive. We know the japanese
are already invading the waters,
have invaded them before and are
planning to invade them this year
with a fleet of fishing vessels and
floating canneries. The entire in
dustry will crumble unless Secretary
Hull does not change his ideas"
Hull's Position
Secretary Hull, in letters to
Western Congressman, made pub
lie yesterday, said he does not ex-
pect Japan to invade the tradi-
tional American fishing grounds
off the Alaska coast without due
consideration of United States in
terests.
The Secretary of State also dis
counts the expressed fears that
the japanese, by unrestricted fish
ing, would destroy the salmon in
dustry that the United States and
Canada sought to preserve by the
expenditure of millions of dollars
for conservation.

MERRY ROMANCE AT LOEW'S POLL
Loretta Young and Tyrone Power Are CO-Starred in
 "SecOnd Honeymoon

Acclaimed by increasing numbers of fans with each new picture as the most exciting sweethearts of the screen, Tyrone Power and Lo- retta Young are co-starred again in Twentieth Century-FoX's "Second Honeymoon" coming tomorrow to the Loew Poll tileater for Q four.day engagement.
 Already hailed as the Inerriest, marry romance of the year, the film is said to be their perfect picture together. Their love is news again, but this time they mean 1t with ell their hearts.
 Love at first sight Is romantic enough, Tyrone and Loretta agree, but love at second sight. We'll They fall for each other twice in this gay hit. After parting in Reno, they meet accidentally under a thrilling Miami moon and kiss ifn- pulsively, to find they have fallen ln love all over again.
 Having left Tyrone because he was mad, irresponsible and gave her no sense of security, Loretta finds she wants him back for the same reasons. But a honeymoon renewed is not so easily accomplished as @ honeymoon "Reno'd", especially when Loretta's second husband IS considered. Played by Lyle Talbot, he is @ common garden-variety of spouse out.bloomed by the hardy perennial that is Tyrone's and Lo- retta's love.
 There are others, also, who have @ say in the matter. There is Stu art Erwin, who is crazy about pretty Marjorie Weaver and, as Q corsci- entious gentleman's gentleman,

wants his employer, Tyrone, to enter into similar state of bliss. There are Claire Trevor and J. Edward Bromberg, 8 sophisticated couple carelessly throwing interesting little monkeyWrenches into the not-too- smoothly running machinery-of matrimony.
 The whole trouble starts, however, when Husband Number One and Husband Number Two try to become friends. Tyrone arranges a "prog. ging" expedition, new pastime of spear fishing at night under power- ful searchlights, and the entire party Is invited.
 It is this expedition that proves to Loretta that her divorce was a mistake. But when she sets about to rectify 1t, she finds Tyrone ape parently must interested in Marjorie Weaver. The misunderstanding is caused by Miss Viewers constant efforts to be near Stuart Erwin, who in turn is always near Tyrone. It requires an exciting, swiftly paced climax of these events to result in the only proper solution.
 "Second Honeymoon" marks the fourth appearance of Tyrone and Loretta together on the screen.
 At the outset of the film career that was to bring him in an ircred- ibly short time to topnotch prom thence, Tyrone was cast in roc mantle role opposite Loretta in Ladies in Love-" the sensational film co-starring Janet daynor, Lo- retta and Constance Bennett.
 Next came Cafe Metropole," a brilliant comedy, which cast him as @ penniless adventurer just out of Q swanky Eastern university. Tyrone makes gay and romantic love to Lo- retta in this film.
 Following this hit the pair were reunited in Love is News, 6 new kind of "eternal triangle" story with Don Ameche co-starred. The bltthe spirit and gaiety of this romantic comedy definitely established Tyrone
