Notices Mailed
Notification OF tonight's meeting
have been mailed by Secretary Wal

In recent years the veterans have
shown a marked enthusiasm for
observing Armistice day, feeling that
their efforts in 1917-18 were not in
vain. The parades have been well
supported and the general public
has evinced greater interest in the
demonstrations staged. School chill

FOOTBALL SEASON

Fall Officially Starts SAT-
urday; Cool Weather
Promised

Fall, which will get here officially
tomorrow afternoon at $50 o'clock,
will come without surprise to Wa
terburians who have been shivering
intermittently for the past two
weeks.
Some argument exists as to
whether last night was the coolest
since the spell started, or whether
Tuesday night should get that
doubtful title. Many persons said
today they noticed the temperature
below 40 degrees early this morning.
However, the official record has
it that the mercury descended ONLY
to the AZ degree mark from max
imum temperature of So degrees
recorded yesterday afternoon. Tues
day night the mercury dropped to
40 degrees.
At noon today the temperature
had climbed to the So degree mark,
with cool weather promised for to-
night and tomorrow.

It has been estimated that approx

aliens, faced with the loss of a Job
unless they become citizens-in the
event that all government orders are
underway.
On the basis Of increased business
in factories, employment offices are

Many have been rehired, after
months of unemployment. A ten
per cent increase in wages has been
given to employees of the big Three"

A person filing application for cit

in normal times to wait two years
for possible acceptance. AS it stands
now, however, the Boston bureau
supervising this area, is so swamped

There was no hint here of any
impending trouble though Poland

Quizzed as Olson
Launches Inquiry
Expense Accounts, Acts
For Political Reasons
Under Investigation

SACRAMENTO, June 10.
(UP)-A searching investi-
cation of t he California
Highway Patrol, particular
ly on expense accounts, per-
sonnel or possible improper politi-
cal activity, is under way by the
Olson administration, it was con-
firmed today by Frank w. Clark.
acting director of motor vehicles.
Clark said the probe was not
to be interpreted as a reflection
on anyone in the department"
when asked if it meant an attempt
to oust Chief E. Raymond Cato
of the patrol, He added the per-
sonnel question could not be de-
termined until the investigation
is completed, however.
A detailed QUESTIONABLE is be-
ing issued to various patrol men,
bers, particularly in southern Cali
fornia. Sample questions ask what
becomes of old tires and equip
ment from motorcycles and cars,
whether the Officers ever were or
dered to obtain contributions for
superior officers such as food.
building material, liquor or passes:
whether padded expense accounts
accounts have been submitted;
whether advertisements have been
solicited for the patrol magazine
on state time and in official equip
ment, and whether the orders were
given for officers to circulate in
itiative petitions.
Clark said the probe was being

Knights failed to state whether
or not this means a definite end
of the project, but Councilman
Gordon Scriven declared it cer-
tainly meant the project would not
be considered further for this bien-
mum. Scriven said:
"I haven't yet heard full details
from Knights, but We don't admit
defeat. There still may be some
way to work it out"
Regarding the Main street sep
aration as a substitute, there ap-
peared small hope. Knights, as rep
resenting the city, was reported
prepared to advance that project
only on the basis that the Bureau
of Public Roads pay all property
damage involved.
Damage in the case this project
went through, would be so high as
to be virtually prohibitive, experts
pointed out. There is insufficient
space on both sides of the railway
tracks on Main street for an un-
derpass without injury to business
property already present.

Supports Stevedores in Strike Plan

EVERETT, Wash, June 10. (UP)
The Maritime Federation of the
Pacific Coast today endorsed a
third term for President Roosevelt
and simultaneously moved to sup
port the International Longshore-
mems and Warehousemen's union
in an expected struggle with ship
pers over a new working contract.
Harry Bridges, president of the
ILWU and west coast organizer for
the Congress of Industrial Organi-
cation, told the convention last
night his union would demand four
new clauses in contracts with en-
ployers which expire Sept. 80. He
said the points were:
IA six hour day. 2.-Recog-
milton of picket lines. 3.-An in
crease in wages. A guarantee
against use of mechanical devices
which would cause chronological
layoffs."

luton unanimously endorsing a
