OF WITHDRAWALS
AT ANDALSNES
Blu the Associated Press


Prime Minister Chamberlain
today disclosed the withdrawal of
British troops from the Andalsnes
area, abandoning the attempt to
take German held Trondheim
from the south. He declared Brit
ain would keep on fighting Ger
many in Norway but refused to
be trapped into letting down her
guard in the Mediterranean.
Eve have no intention of allow
ing Norway to become merely a
sideshow," Chamberlain told the
house of commons, "But neither
are we going to be trapped into
such dispersal of our forces as
would leave us dangerously weak
at the vital center"
He asserted that blows to the
German feet permitted IAN inn
portant redistribution of the main
allied fleet" and announced a
British and a French fleet is in
the eastern Mediterranean on the
way to Alexandria, Egypt.
Chamberlain's announcement
indicated the Allies were aban-
doning to Germany all Of Norway
south of line running from
Trondheim east to the Swedish
frontier including nearly half the
country's total area, six-sevenths
of the population and nearly all
industrial centers.
At Berlin, the German high
command reported Nazi forces
had a solid hold on all of south
and central Norway after British
forces ''in headlong flight" had
rushed to the sea to abandon An
dalsnes on the Norwegian Allan
tic coast.

INSURANCE ADJUSTERS
GET MANY CLAIMS;
FAIR HAS LOSSES

Insurance adjusters worked few
erishly through Redwood county
this week, viewing the wreckage
of a high midnight gale which
caused thousands of dollars in
damage as it leveled small build
ings, tore the sides from bigger
structures and raised havoc with
roofing Saturday night Strangely
enough the loss of livestock was
small.
More than 100 wind claims
poured into Redwood Falls insur-
ance offices. the time of most of
the losses listed at between mid
night and / a. m. when a blow
which started Saturday morning
and continued through Monday,
reached its peak. Some estimated
that the blast was between As and
so miles an hour.
The Redwood Falls fire depart
ment was called at 1890 a. m.
when neighbors saw sparks from
burning electric-line insulation
flying near the E. L. Gallea and
w. r. Roberts homes on Mime
sofa street. A short circuit caused
by wire rubbing together, the
blaze would have done no harm
as it burned away from the Mrs.
A. Carity residence to which it
was connected, according to j. L.
Parsons of the Redwood Falls
Light and Power company.
The power company's crew was
out at midnight and worked sew
eral hours removing fallen limbs
from their lines all over the city.
Light service in the neighborhood
was disrupted for a time when a
radio aerial at the Robert Hall re-
sidence fell across wire.

spect to airplaneS, the expectation
Of the President that we would have
a 50,000-airplane capacity in the

fulfilled. Experts estimate thai
America will be lucky to be building
airplanes at the rate of 10000 a

There is considerable delay, too,

they complete such plans word

Washington learns with interest,

tracted by reported remarks of the
NaZi military attache at Toxic, who
has just declared cit Is indeed ad-
vantageous to Germany that the
United States Fleet has been de-
tanned in the Pacific" Hitlers
spokesman added that Germany
has correct knowledge of Americas s
strength. 1t has not increased much
since last year. Japan should not
overestimate it. 1t is to be hoped
that Japan will decide without delay
whether she is to be chained up by
America, or whether, in cooperation
with her German and italian
friends, she will become a great
world power" The Berlin attache
concluded with the assurance that
1t would be advantageous for Japan
to join at once "in constructing the
new order in Europe" How much
such German Indictment has to do
with Japan's turbulence over the re-
cent fracas with American marines
at Shanghai is a question which

John Bulls Gold.
Currently heavy arrivals of British
gold on this side cause monetary
quarters to believe that John Bull
may soon have sent his entire gold
reserves across the Atlantic, for de-
posit either in Canada or with the
Federal Reserve at New York. If
the Germans reach Britain, au-
thorities here now think the invad-
ers would find the cupboard pretty
bare of the precious yellow metal.
It's thought that most of Frances
gold reserve, too was moved out,
ahead of the German occupation,
much of it coming to New York.
