Stain and Molotov for Russia
Ribbentrop and Ambassador Won der
Shulenburg for Germany, signed the
treaty.
Then came q joint statement by
Molotov and Ribbentrop:
Both governments after fixing the
problem arising from the dissolution
of Poland have come to the joint
conclusion that liquidation Of the
war would be In the interest Of oil
nations.
Therefore both governments will
apply all their powers in cooperation
with other friendly nations to bring
hoStilities to an end.
IF, however, these efforts are
fruitless Great Britain and France
will be responsible for the continue
ton of the war.
I'm this case Germany and Russia

New Nazi- Russian Frontier
The German and German chief
negotiatorS agreed on the new
Russo-German frontier through
what had been Poland as follows:
The frontier begins at the
southerly point Of Lithuania and
runs In a geenral westerly direc-
ton toward q point north of Aug
ustowo up to the frontier Of East
PRUSSIA and follows the East Prus-
sian frontier to the river Pisia.
From that point 1t follows the
river Pisia to Ostrolenka. Then
It runs In q southerly direction
until it meets the river Bug at
Muir. Then 1t continues along the
Bug to Krystnopol and then turns
west and runs north of Rawa Ru-
ska and Lubaczow TO the river San,
whence it follows the San to its
source.
It was announced that a map
showing the definitely delimited
frontier would be published soon.

OF course, Mr.. Roosevelt said, it
Is obvious that the government
wants to keep prices and the cost
OF living from going through the
roof under any circumstances and
some plans have been made to that
end.
He said the war resources board
has been working intaneively on In
dustriAl prebleEns which would de-
vel0p IN war time. He said its
studies included the necessity for
industrial expansion under war con-
ditions, administrative problems in
volved In such expansion, location
Of industries, the relation Of trans
portAtion to industrial expansion,
the relation Of additional power
facilities and agricultural prices and
production to such expansion.
There is no story in the forth
coming report Of the war resources
board except stories written to make
controversy, the president asserted.
He declined to discuss the new
administration neutrality bill. He
parted all questions on the meas
ure and finally laughed and told
the correspondents that they could
not get him into q discussion Of
the bill.
He refused comment on a proposal
at the Pan-American conference for

It is further recognized that the

tirement. The designations Of other
committee members were ON hand,
ready to be accepted, and new conf
mitteemen supposedly satisfactory
to both sides were to be elected.
Mr.. Smiths rejection of the pro-
gram, just as 1t was to be adopted,
was said to have been based on his
stand that the present town COM
mittee should not select the new
committee members. Town commit
tee leaders answered this by declar-
ing that the proposed new commit
teemen were all representative DEM
ocrats, who had been approved by
representatives Of the reorganization
group.
A committee report of the state
chairman's rejection of the reorgani-
zation program aroused a storm of
criticism at the town committee ses-
sion. Some members declared in
favor of dropping entirely any at
tempt at reorganization and chal-
longing the Smith group to a pri-
mary contest.
Judge Mascolo, who has been i'll,
asked the town committee through q
spokesman. to delay any decision for
"a hours. The judge, who has friends
In both the town committee and the
reorganization ranks, Is scheduled
to appear before the committee at
the meeting tonight.
Several Of the town committeeman
who had offered their designations
were so certain that the reorganiza-
ton program would be adopted that
they did not even attend the meet
ing.
Smith supporters asserted that the
proposed slate Of new town commit
teemen was "hand-picked." This was
denied by organization leaders, who
also declared that when the negotia-
tons began originally. Mr.. Smith
said he wished to have no part in
the selection Of the new committee
members.

presented TO little Esthonia was
overshadowed by that between the
two great powers. But the Russian
Esthonian treaty was part Of the
picture, as was the arrival here yes
terday of Col. Boris Boydev, chief
Of Bulgarian civil aviation, osten-
sibly to negotiate for a Moscow
Sofia air line. 1t was reported that
Bulgarian Prime Minister George
Kiosseivanov would follow him this
week end.
1t meant that Russia, which had
retired within its vast shell, which
had bickered with Japan on the
east and with Naxism on the west,
$500 miles across its gigantic span,
had now re-entcred western Eu-
ropean and world politics.
Its agreements with Germany and
Esthonia, its prospective agreements
with Bulgaria and with its old
friend Turkey, whose foreign min
lister was here cooling his heels dur
ing the German negotiations, meant
that Russia's giant shadow lay over
all OF Europe.
The way was open for purely de-
fensive or offensive Russo German
cooperation, or for Russian Pam
Slavic movement which would em-
brace peoples from the Baltic to
the Black Sea-and down to Italy'S
frontier on Jugoslavia.

Figures from Yosemite reveal that
the big tree. 209 feet high, leans

we'll known for its off-center angle
of four degrees and q minutes or
Il feet, the Tower of Pisa. 179 feet
high. leans less than the Grizzly
Giant. While the angle Is so appar-
ent in the latter, 1t is far less no
tieeable in the great Sequoia due
to its large spreading branches and
proximity of surrounding trees.

root system thoroughly anchors the
big tree, also held in place by but

such a way to counter balance this
condition. The center of gravity Of

The Sequoia is located in the

GRADE SCHOOL TO PRESENT
'HAEsEL AND GRETEL'

"Hansel and Greter', the fairy
operetta by Engelbert Humperdinek,
viii be given by the children Of the
Wrangell grade school in the gym
nasium Friday, April Is at s p. N.
The operetta cast is as follows:
Hansel-Kenneth Binkley.
Gretel-Joy Carruthers.
Mother-Robin Ferguson.
Father-Roger Larson.
Witch-Helena Gross.
Man Of the Wood-0laf Hanson.
Standardized Osterman.
Dew Fairies-Yolanda Ferguson,
Frances Hanford.
The operetta follows closely the
traditional story Of Hansel and
Gretel, the children of a poor broom
maker living in a small cottage in
the Harz Mountains. As Act 1 op-
ems we find the children at work,
while the father and mother are
away selling brooms. Work he
comes ttresome and the two children
start to romp around the room. At
the height of the frolic the mother
enters, weary and unhappy, for she
has not sold many broOms. She
scolds the children and sends them
out into the woods to gather straw
berries. Later, the father returns,
having sold his brooms at a good
profit and gaily unpacks a quantity
of dainties. Missing the children, he
asks about them and is horror
stricken at the thought that they
are all alone in the woods after
nightfan. Both father and mother
go out in search of them.
Act 2 opens in the forest The
children are roaming the woods
filling their baskets with strawber-
ries. They see a tiny little man
standing beneath a forest tree.
Needless of direction and time even
tide finds them in the forest,
haunted, as they believe with
fairies and witches. The Ilsenstein,
a gathering place for evil sprites
looms up amid the trees. Everything
takes on strange and fearful shapes.
The frightened children cover be-
meath a tree. They repeat their
usual evening prayer and fall asleep
as the sandman enters and sprinkles
sand in their eyes.
Act opens at daybreak. When
the children awake they notice for
the first time, a beautiful little
house made of dainties. This is the
dwelling place of very wicked
witch, who entraps small boys and
girls and bakes them into ginger
bread. Hansel and Gretel break off
tasty morsels from the walls. The
witch appears and casts a spell over
