today, following a conference be-
tween King George and Prime
Minister Chamberlain. Both men
are thoroughly distasteful to
Adolfh Hitler, and that fact is re-
ported to have much sway in the
impending appointments.
Far outstripping all European
activities of militaristic descrip-

are proceeding with speed, so
much so, that a pact is expected
to be in its final stage of drafting

announcement of such treaty
will have far-reaching effect on
the future of German aggression,
it is freely admitted abroad.
Italy. apparently feeling that
her country has been neglected
in the headlines of late, today
authorized screaming press stories
of warning to the democracies to
keep their hands out of affairs
that do not concern them. War
maneuvers in Italy have been or
dered for the latter part of
August, and coincidentally, they
have been ordered for the terri
tory boarding on French boun-

roo LATE 70 CLASSIFY

Well, folks, after drivin' twelve
hundred miles and standin' round
for hours gettin' my credentials
and press badge fixed up and
figures I'm all set to take in the
whole four day show, along comes
Old Mama Nature and slaps me
down with mess of tonsilitis
that runs my temperature up to a
hundred and three before ] even
know what's wrong with me.
Believe it or not, | got in on
just about three hours of the
convention before all this hap
pened to me, and since then my
mental and physical condition
has been such that they could
have given the old folks the
United States Treasury or
gathered EN- in a concentration
camp to be boiled in oil-and
either way it wouldn't have
meant a thing in my young life.
I've had two doctors workin'
. over me for the last four days,
ticklin' my tonsils with different
kinds of bug juice, sprayin' with
this, swabbin' with that and in
between got three different
kinds of pills to play with.
But you don't care about my
hard luck, so I'll describe what /
can remember of that eventful
first day of the National Town
send Convention. It opened, you
know, on Thursday, but all day
Tuesday and Wednesday the
Townsendites came by special
trains, by buses, in gigantic
motorcades, one being over
twelve miles in length which
started in Colorado. Some even
hitch linked and from as distant
points as Washington and Cali
fornia.
In spite if the fact the Cadle
Auditorium has a seating capa-
city of 10000, long before the
opening hour of the convention
the place was packed and over
1000 remained outside the doors,
unable to gain admission.
The popularity of Doctor Town
send was evidenced when, early
ION the program, he appeared for
IA word Of greeting. The audi
Eence went wild, everyone in the
great auditorium rising to their
! feet to scream a welcome. Later,
during his talk, when he offered
| to step down and make way for
any other leader that Town
sendites might feel. was better
qualified than himself, the re-
Spouse was thunderous NO.
Into every congressional dis
trict where Senators or Congress-
lmen failed to vote for the Town
send bill, will be sent Townsend
Trail Blazers whose task it will
be to organize the territory SO as
| to not only insure the defeat of
the offending office holder but
mean the certain election of his
opponent.
Florida was well represented,

MIAMI, Florida, Feb. 25.---It Is revealed here that President Roose- velt has written to William Green, President of the American Federa- tion of Labor, and John L. Lewis. of the Congress of Industrial Organ- ization, that labor faces a chall- enge in finding itself divided in op- posing camps

 First--Because it is right.
 Second-Because responsible of ficers of both groups seem to be ready and capable of making nego- tiations for just peace"
 Third-Because your membership apparently desires peace and unity for the better ordering of their res- ponsible life in trade unions and in communities"
 Fourth-The Government of the United States and the people be lieve it to be wise and almost nec- essary step for the future develop ment of cooperation between free men in Democratic society such as ours"

Reply 10 Protest by Kefthikan Committee on Shorfen- ing Time 10 Take Salmon Is Made by Assistant Secretary, Department of Commerce; Says Legal Responsibility Also Rests With All AIdskdns

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, Feb. 25.- Replying to the protest from the local committee in shortening the Ketchikan salmon district season by 12 days and other nearby dis tricts by 10 days, in the regulations announced last week for this sea- son, R. c. Patterson Jr., Assistant Secretary of Commerce said:
 "This Department has the legal responsibility for perpetuation of the Alaska fisheries, but every Alas kan has a moral responsibility as well as personal interest in perpetu- ation of this valuable resource.
 "The sole purpose of the regula- tions is to assure such perpetuation and prevent recurrence of failure like that of 1927 when the season was sharply curtailed because of the scarcity of salmon in Southeast Al aSka.
 "The Department hopes such drastic action will not again be necessary"
 The message also said that the best information indicates that salmon runs are seriously depleted in the vicinity of Ketchikan in odd years"
 Patterson said observation will be made during the season and the Department has authority to ex- tend the season if the situation war rants"
 Patterson also said the regula- tions as issued will continue in ef- feet until there is conclusive proof that salmon runs are not jeopar- dized.
 Cooperation is solicited by the De- partment of Commerce fin carrying out it's legal responsibility to pro- tect the fisheries for your future use"
