 ARE EXHIBITED

 The film opened with Berlin street scenes, while the commentator made such comments as Nowhere does the visitor see starvation or hunger, 'The Fascist dictatorship which. .. has shocked world democracies," |" "Goebbels, the fanatic" and whip ped 65,000,000 people into a nation of one mind, one will, one objective expansion"
 Other scenes showed signs barring Jews from towns, parks and bench es; Nazi swastikas emblazoned on church fronts; censorship of mails; the death of a communist under the guillotine; and the interior of the Krupp armament works.
 GlOrify Maxi State
 "Everything must be used to glori- fy the Na1 state and its dema- gogues, Adolf Hitler" said the com- mentator.
 A picture of Hitler caused the greatest outburst. Shouts of "Heil Hitler" came from a small group of Nazi sympathizerS on one side of the aisle. Opponents across the way replied with boos and cries of Shut up," Down with Hitler" and "Phoo- ey".
 More cheers and jeers arose with the showing of Hitler and Premier Mussolini of Italy reviewing Ger man troops.
 Developments
 The film was shown here after these developments:
 Warner Brothers, having the right to exhibit it in more than 200 theaters throughout the country, re- served exercising that right until it saw what was the reaction; Baron Manfred von Killinger, German consul general in San Francisco, de- nounced it as unfair; Chicago police censors rescinded an earlier ban, and termed it not objection able; Fritz Kuhn, head of the Ger man-American Volksbund, threat ened to seek an injunction to bar its showing; Chairman Key Pitt man of the U. s. senate foreign re- lations committee viewed it at a private showing, and declared that every man, woman and child in this country should see it."

SIX-DAY STRIKE
 HAS BEEN ENDED

Portland, Ore, Jan. 21.-(UP).- Hot metal bubbled in composing room pots and phones jingled in the city rooms today as three Portland newspapers prepared to resume pub- lication after settlement of six day strike of typographers.
 The Morning Oregonian rushed through a Friday morning edition to bring to Portland's 350,000 resi- dents their first local, national and international news, except for brief radio bulletins, since the Sunday morning bulldog" editions, printed the Saturday before when members of the International Typographical union went on strike.
 The Portland Journal and the News-Telegram prepared for eve ming editions. The typographers had called the strike after failure to reach an agreement with the pub fishers on a seven-hour day and on compromise seven and one-quarter hour day. The contract is based on five-day week.

comment" Hoover snapped. Charles Mattson, 10, was Kidnapped from his parents home in Tacoma, Wash, and his mutilated body was found before his parents could pay the demanded ransom. His brother and sister, who saw the kidnaper, were taken to San Francisco Monday by federal agents to view finders Whether they identified him or failed to is known only to them and the federal agents.
 Bodies In Dug-Out
 The bodies were found in a mis- erable dug-out near Spooller, in far northern Wisconsin. There on Oc- tober 10 finders put bullet through the bain of Ross, the white-haired, old man whom he had seized Sep tember 25, and held in captivity under conditions Hoover described as dirty, atrocious."
 finders shot Gray, his partner III crime, at the same time after knocking him into the dug-out dur ing an argument.
 Ross and Gray were killed two days after the $50,000 ransom was tossed to finders from a speeding motorcycle near Rockford, Ill.
 When the party returned here, a G-Man dragged finders at the end of a chain which was shackled tightly around his waist. finders pulled the brim of his felt hat over his piercing dark eyes as he entered the room where newsmen awaited Hoover, and shuffled into an inner office without looking to right nor left.
 Had Map of Tragedy
 we never could have tound the bodies or the money without his as- sistance." Hoover smiled. He threw off a lumberman's cap, unouttonea his sheerskin lined coat ana tnruS' his lumberjatk boots under a oesA: From his pocket he took a smear ol penciled notes and a map.
 Then with the air of school master, pointing out landmarks on the map with his pencil, he began filling in the story behind two days and nights of melodramatic secrecy on the part of federal agents.
 He showed no sign of fatigue, although he began, "let's make it snappy - I've been up two days and nights"
 finders and Gray. he said, took their elderly victim first to hide out near Emily, Minn., in Crow Wing County, 120 miles from St. Paul. This, he said, apparently occurred the day after the kidnap- ing.

MISSIONARIES
 ARE HANDICAPPED

Shanghai, Jan. 21-(UP)-Amer. ican missionaries are seeking to ad- wise President Roosevelt of difficult ties which they complain they have met in seeking to continue their work in Japanese occupied terri- tory, it was learned today. A group of the missionaries, 1t was learned seeked conference with Paul V. McNutt, American high commits sioner to the Philippines, who is con- ferring here with Admiral Harry E.. Yarnell, American fleet commander, on his way to Washington to report on Japanese infiltration into the Philippines.
 The missionaries want to ask Mo- Mutt to advise the president of their situation, it was understood, and it was expected that if they saw the high commissioner they would com- plain of alleged Japanese troop en- croachments on mission properties
 The missionaries complain of difficulty of obtaining passes to re- turn to their posts in some areas. It was indicated that the difficult is not general but is met in individual military areas, apparently depend- ing on the attitude of the Japanese officer in command.

 No Funds for Help
 Again referring to his recomlnen- datiolls to centralize control of de- partmental financing, the control- Ter said:

 He admitted the plan would "ef- feet saving" but could not say how much.
 It was understood that If the plan were agreeable to the gover- nor he could recommend Budget Director Benjamin P. Whitaker inc form all departments to put 1t into effect.

 Used Much Munitions
 The nationalists concentrated their greatest strength, using "the greatest amount of war material ever used on any front in Spain" in the battle for Mount Muleton, according to the government.
 Mount Muleton, about three miles north of Teruel, has been an ob- jective of both layalists and nation alists for many days. It guards the main highway and the Alfambra river valley to the north.
 Occupation of the mount cuts of direct communication between the loyalists and Catalonia. The insur- gents had fortified it heavily before the loyalists offensive in mid-De- cember.
 BOmbardment Fails
 From Zaragoza, nationalists field headquarters, United Press staff correspondent John Degandt report ed that loyalist artillery batteries were bombarding the nationalist rear guard position to divert att tention from the battle the mount. Nationalist officers said that the bombardment failed and that loy- alists made no attempt to follow it up with an attack.
 One nationalist solumn in the vicinity of Muleton, the nationalists said, "is advancing toward the cen- ter of Teruel without great effort" !" Was Bloody Struggle Reports from the battlefield in- dicated that the struggle for Mount Muleton was the bloodieSt of any since the loyalists opened tehir sur prise counter offensive in Decem- Der which wrecked the plans of Generalissimo Francisco Franco fol "big push" on the Aragon front.
 According to government reports more than 100 airplanes of both sides participated in the battle. The loyalists claimed to have shot down 10 ships, two of them heavy bomb CTS, losing only two pursuit planes. Two loyalist planes were said to have collided but the pilots para chuted safely to the ground.
 The nationalists clamed to have taken 400 loyalists prisoners and to have brought down seven loyalist planes. In addition, zaragoza re- ported, "the enemy suffered heavy losses"

ROYALTIES ARE
 TAX EXEMPTED

Hartford, Conn, Jan. 2l.-(UP)- Royalties paid for the use of a patent, for mining leases and paid in accordance with terms of oil and gas leases "are a form of rental" and therefore exempted from taxa tion under the state corporation business tax, Attorney General Charles J. Mclaughlin ruled today.
 His opinion, issued at request of State Tax Commissioner William H. Hackett, said the Connecticut law closely follows that of the federal corporation income tax statute which provises deductions for rentals re- ceived from property or leases to which the taxpayer has no title.

I26 Acres PLOlUed
In -Four Hours

Northfield- quickest job of plow-
ing ever completed in Grant county was
done recently on the Louis Steger farm
two miles southwest of Norcross when
126 acres of field were plowed in about
four hours. The work was done by "a
tractors belonging to neighbors of Mr..
Steger, who is i'll at hospital in Fergus
Falls. The blowing started about $3.50
A. M. and was completed before 1900
P. M, in spite of about a half hours
delay while pictures of the group were
taken by a local paper. The "a tractors
were a great sight as they circled the
fields, replacing the brown stubble with
black blowing as though by magic.
Each round of the tractors along the
half mile fields turned over from Is to
Is acres of field. All the business men
of Norcross contributed toward the
purchase of the tractor fuel and it is
estimated that $4,000 worth of farm
equipment was used in the blowing.

Beans GrOuU by the Foot.

Askov-Did you ever see a bean %
inches long? Well, Martin o. Andersen,
local farmer, brought half of his New
Guinea bean crop into the village for
display and it weighed about four
pounds and measured % inches long
No, the narrators of this tale isn't
imagining things, for many local folks
saw the unusual sight as it hung in
the window of a gasoline station for
display purposes. Mr.. Andersen raised
two of these oddities. The other one
being smaller, they fried it and ate it,
but nary a taste-the taste must have
gone into it's enormous size. What
next! We always knew beans to come
by the pound, peck or bushel, but never
by the foot.

STATE GUIDE
OUT NOV. 28
Federal Writers Have Prepared
a Modern New Guide for
Gopher State.

That Minnesota: A State Guide" to
be published Monday, Nov. %, strikes
a new note in Gopher state guides, was
the opinion expressed today by Dr.
Theodore G. Blegen, superintendent of
the Minnesota Historical Society, ST.
Paul
The book, prepared by the Minnesota
unit of the Federal Writers Project,
Works Progress Administration, is de-
signed to make Minnesotans more ap-
lpreciative = more understanding of
their own state, said the noted scholar,
and is no booster literature" as was a
frequent tendency of earlier guides.
Terming the book "a guide to modern
Minnesota executed in the modern
spirit" he said, sit obviously goes be-
yond anything like it in the past and
should be of tremendous interest to the
people of the state"
Many of the guidebooks of the 1905
stressed MinneSota'S advantages as a
health resort. A volume on Mime
sofa as it is in 1870 by j. W. McClung
includes "A Chapter for Invalids,' and
'copious notes on health are to be
found in Ledyard Bills Minnesota, Its
Character and Climate published in
1871. Special attention is given to the
summer resorts of the state, and par
ticularly to its lakes, in George B.
Halls Illustrated Descriptive and Stat
istical Account of Minnesota which
appeared in 1880. Hall, said DR.. Bile
gen, described Minnesota as the
| grand summer resort of America, the
sanitarium of the country, land with
out malaria, the acme of health and
pleasure secured
1.-THE new state guide, prepared by
the Writers project and issued as part
of the American Guide Series, marks
the high point in Minnesota state
guides" said Dr. Blegen cit interprets
Minnesota not only to visitors and the
outside world, but to ourselves.
I'VE need to understand what Mime
sofa has been and is, to know the
state; this modern guide, executed in
modern spirit, should help us to meet
that need. 1t is comprehensive, in
teresting, useful. Its pages present a
panorama of Minnesota history and
lore, descriptions of towns and cities,
accounts OF land and resources, pic
lures of people and customs, appraisals
of Minnesota achievements, and an
alyses of special viewpoints and con-
tributions. One of its most interesting
features, for this mobile age of ours,
is the section on guided tours'-tours
about the state, on highways and
streams, on lanes into history" he
concluded

Golden Eagle Captured.

Waconia-A Golden eagle, which had
been found on highway near Tapper's
woods at Young America, was brought
into Waconia one day recently. The
bird has wing spread of SO inches,
head and neck feathers being brownish
yellow. How this Golden eagle came to
Carver county is a matter of conjec-
ture as this specie of bird is rare in
North America, being a species common
to Europe. The bird is capable of long
flights, possesses unusual strength and
size and keen vision. The Golden eagle
is protected as this species is nearly
extinct Game Warden Machtemus
took possession of it and turned the
bird over to the state game and fish
department.
