Snowplows have worked for days to

said. HE was near a crisis so pre-

The wind and snow blocked the road
behind me.
1T was four days before snowplows
could buck to within mile of. the farm

farmers set up a relay in which they
passed the medicine to each other to
carry it over the mile of deep snow

passed papers through a sliding panel
while committee agent, arrived with

The records were handed to Jefferson

After taking them home, Peterson
said, he returned the papers to w. H.

He did not bring back his personal
papers. he said, adding that some of
them had been destroyed.
Peterson said he was directed by
Clark to remain at home few days
after the subpoena was served in order
to receive telephone calls there, instead
Of at the office.
Finally, Peterson hazarded the guess
that he was at home less than two
weeks, during which he was visited
by Clark, Shoemack, Pugmie, Mason,
all officials Of the Detroit Office, and
two clerks.

was prompted by q discovery that

VALENCIA, February IL C4Y.-In-

shells into the village of Alboraya,
only two and a half miles north of

The bombardment started at 1:40
am. and lasted half hour. No cas-
ualties had been reported to Valencia
at mid-morning, although it was
known only slight damage was caused.
Most of the shells fell harmlessly on
the beach.
There were no signs of panic as
the citizens needed the alarm sirens
and hid in bombproof shelters. The
sound Of the firing was heard plainly
in Valencia, leading at first to the
belief another attack was being made
on the seat of the Socialist govern
ment.
