0y the Associated Press.
TOXIC. September 27.-The for
elgn Office has announced that
Mamoru Shigemitsu, Ambassador to
MOSCOW, shortly would protest to the
Soviet Government against alleged
mStreatment OF japanese workmen in
the Russian half of Sakhalin Island
A foreign office statement declared
10 such workmen had been arrested
and that Soviet authorities had vio-
lated the RuSso-Japanese agreement
concerning Sakhalin.
That island is owned half by japan
and half by the Soviet Union, but the
agreement gives Japanese interests
the right to exploit Oil resources in
the Russian, or northern, part of the
island.
The statement declared that Rus
sian officials had prevented the entry
OF additional japanese into the oil
fields and had interfered with the
promised development. 1t continued:
This illegal attitude has been caus-
Ing serious unrest among japanese
workmen, causing an increasing num-
Der to apply for permission to return
to Japan"

| ~ school of leaping porpoise
They follow the ship for miles,
leaping high in the air, somersault-
ing, and having what appears to be
very happy time.
Their arched backs and triangular
dorsal fms are often exposed to sight.
These great fish are always ready to
follow the ocean liners because much
food is tossed overheard, and it Is
easier to pick it from the water than
make the effort to hunt for 1t. So
even the porpoises are not above easy
living.
The porpoise is about six feet long.
It is dark above and white below. This
protective coloring is most important
to the hunter. Above, when looking
down upon him, his color blends well
with the water; below, to the smaller
or even larger fsh he presents no tell
tale colors.
Porpoises are voracious creatures,
always looking TO-: salmon and mack
erel. Their cruel mouths are pro-
vided with rs pairs Of teeth in each
jaw.
They hunt in herds, and as they
swim together with even strokt :, keep
ing up the same pace with even the
fastest steamers, the businesslike
hunters look like great demons Of the
deep, which, in fact, they are.

Brain Twiizzlers
BY PROF. ]. d. FLINT.

"A DExTROUS pickpocket and jewel
thief was once faced with a
predicament which almost landed him
in the penitentiary shortly after his
greatest robbery, instead of some years
later as the case finally worked out.
He had succeeded in eluding highway
police who were on his trail and had
taken to flight on foot through 4
heavily wooded section Of the coun-
try. With him he had nothing but
. pistol and three 5-pound packages
OF jewels. He came upon q canyon
across which was a small bridge. This
bridge had = warning posted that only
200 pounds weight could be borne
by the bridge. The robber weighed
168 pounds in his clothing and he
didn't dare take a chance of having
the bridge give way beneath him.
How did he get across the bridge in
one trip without leaving anything be-
hind him?

two of them started a fight as
they left the hall and two parti-

pulling hair.

FRENCH VIOLENCE
SAID ANTI-FASCIST
MURDER REPRISAL

PARIS, June IA. - (UP) -
Eighty French leftists, apparently
emaged by the gang" murders
of the anti-Fascist Roselli broth
ers, yesterday boarded the Italian
steamer Cellina at Marseilles and
took off a prisoner en- route to
ItaJk, presumably to be banished
to the prison island of Lipari.
The prisoner, Leonardo Morel-
Ii, described as an ardent anti
Fascist deported from Panama,
was removed to hills behind Mar
seilles and French authorities said
they were unable to find him.
Police saw link between the
"kidnaping" of Morelli and the
killing of Carlo and Nello Roselli,
Italian anti-Fascist exiles.
The Roselli brothers, found
stabbed to death in a forest near
Bagnoles, were said by their COM
patriots to have been killed by
agents of the dreaded "Ovra,"
MusSolini'S secret police.
When the Cellmi put in at Mar
Seilles, emoute from Vancouver,
B. c., to Genoa, Morelli was held
in a guarded cabin.
Dock workers, going aboard the
Cellini to unload cargo, overpow-
cred Morelli's guard, smashed in
the door of the cabin and freed
MOrell.

A large gathering turned out
to hear NJ. +. Wollner, intclna-

Thursday night. The Charlotte

cital that might well have opened

Bach's famous Chaconne proved
the supplcness of Mr.. Wolner's
excellent bow arm. In his Span

ing and great strength of feeling.
The Legend and Polonnaise Bril-
lante, both by Wianiawskl served
to inspire the audience in demand

The Charlotte News referred
after the concert to Mr.. Woll-
ner's fluent bow, calling from
his instrument strains of extra
ordinary beauty. His playing was

adding greatly to the success
were the accompaniments ably

Up there under the stars, everything. even
the airliner's speed, had been deceitfully quiet

the radio beams whipping and swinging
