1t was said that German planes
flew at very low attitudes pro-
tected by only few fighter ships.
All Berlin broadcasting stations
had gone off the air during the
night and although no official ex-
planation was available it was re-
called that British planes, such as
those which had reached the Ber-
lin suburban area the night before,
use radio beams as direction guides
The high command communique
said that in the course of armed
reconnaissance yesterday the air
force attacked important military
objectiveS in middle and southern

Irish viii Fight
To Remain Neutral

DUBLIN, Aug. 81. CUP) - Au-
thoritative Irish sources declared
today that any attempt to end
Fires neutrality in favor of Great
Britain would be likely to provoke
civil war and chaos.
If neutrality were dropped Fires
new position would create internal
and external dangers to Britain,
these sources said 1t would pro-
vide a possible excuse for invasion
and might set off a socialist revo-
luton in Fire which might have
repercussions in England.
The same Irish leaders, however,
expressed fear that victorious
Germany would seek to maintain
Fires status as second rate
power and might lead to further
oppression.
IF Germany wins" one compe-
tent authority said, Fire. which
in the past had to fight on only
one political front. may be obliged
to appease the claims of two Euro
pean powers"

Wife of Assassin's S
Victim Declares
Greeks to Suffer
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD

KONISPOLI, GREEK ALBAN-
IAN FRONTIER, Aug. 81 CUP)-
Mrs. Daut Hoggia, widow of the re-
Gently assassinated Albanian ma
tionaliSt leader, charged formally
today that her husbands killing
was plotted in Greece and executed
by an inter-border organization led
by Greeks.
Mrs. Hoggia said she had filed
the charges with the regional pre-
lecture of police and had asked
that they be forwarded to authori-
ties at Tirana, the Albanian capi-
tai, and to Premier Benito Musso-
lini at Rome.
II intend to make the Greeks pay
for. the murder of my husband" :"
she said. He was an ideal husband" :"
In her younger days a famous
beauty, Mrs. Hoggia at 43 has a
leather complexion, gnarled hands
and stopped shoulders because of
her arduous life in the mountains.
She received me in the parlor of
her ricketly whitewashed home
which seemed ready to topple down
the mountain side on which it was
perched.
She was dressed in Albanian Mos
lem fashion with triple pantaloons
as voluminouS as those of the ira
ditional Dutch boy and a red en-
broidered shirt waist.
An Albanian veterinarian. DR..
Muhri limos, who studied in Paris,
acted as interpreter.
There is still much mystery about
my husbands murder" said Mrs.
Hoggia. There was not much blood
where his body was found. I think
they may have poisoned him and
then cut off his mead. He was too
big and strong to be attacked even
II he had been asleep shall not
forgive them. They laced his head
IN potato sack and showed it for
money. His body bore no signs of
bruises or wounds. This seems to
me to show that he was probably
poisoned-perhaps by watermelon
OF which he was very fond. He was
the champion fighter in these
parts"

Not Restrained,
English Announce

LONDON, Aug. 81. CUP)- No
restraint has been placed on the
movements of the Duke of Bucc-
leuch, 46. who was removed last
May as Lord Steward of the royal
household as part of the widespread
drive against fifth columnists, the
home office said today.
mo restrictions whatever have
been placed upon the Duke of
Buccleuchs freedom of movement
and reports of Official restraint are
unfounded," the home office said.
1t was revealed last night that
the Duke. one of Great Britain's
richest landowners, had been re-
moved from his palace post. Until
the home office denial was issued
it had been reported that the
Duke, related by marriage to the
royal family, had been confined
to his estates in Scotland. He has
been succeeded as Lord Steward
by the Duke of Hamilton and
Brandon.
Dismissal Of the Duke on the
grounds Of his sympathy with Nazi
doctrines was accomplished quietly
when Winston Churchill became
prime minister although the Dukes
position was not cabinet appoint
ment.
It was emphasized that the duke
never has done anything to under
mine Britains war effort, that he
wants Britain to win and that
those who desired to do more
than remove him from his royal
household post were restrained.

Scouting.
The Osakis Scoutmaster made a
respone in which he stated that
there had been too much minimiz-
ing of the efforts of others con-
nected with the local troop and ex-
aggeration of his own activities
and that he could never have at
tanned an award like the Silver
Beaver without the cooperation Of
the public spirited men of Osakis
who had also given Of their time
and effort to the Boy Scout move
ment. He expressed his gratitude
to all those who had helped make
it possible for him to achieve this
distinction.
S. H. Buttz chairman Of the
Douglas Grant district Of the Boy
Scouts who was also guest at
this meeting, congratulated Mr..
Kernghan upon receiving the Sill
yer Beaver, calling attention to the
fact that whenever he had heard
of the Osakis troop it had been re-
ferred to as Kerneghan's troop,
which was indication to him Of the
merit of the award made that eve
ming.
DR.. S. L. Elliott in a short talk
described the organization of the
Scout troop in Osakis twelve years
ago when Supt. e. N. Hamilton in
filling a vacancy in the high school
faculty chose a man who was quail
fled to be leader of boys and who
was trained in Boy Scout work.
This man was H. J. Kerneghan and
ever since that time he has been
devoting his talents and his time
to the guidance of the boys In

who pointed out that Mr.. Kerneg,
han had almost single handed been
responsible for the Osakis TROOP
carrying on so successfully al
through these past twelve years.
Present at the meeting also were
two of Osakis' Eagle Scouts, Loren
Senness and Harold Elliott, who
had been invited to the meeting In
honor of Mr.. Kerneghan.

tee chairman, presided at the Boy

payroll price Of "a cents for sweet
cream butterfat was two cents ov-
err the price paid in November,
1889.
During the month of November
the creamery produced 53,Ol9
pounds Of butter compared with
45,223 pounds in the same month
during 1889.
Creamery men, farmers, towns
folk in many sections Of this dairy
area were pointing gleefully to this
price rise in the face Of increased
production.
There may be any number of
factors responsible for this price
rise, it was pointed out. But OPP
orator A. N. Cordell cited the views
of some experts who are pointing
to an advertising campaign waged
in the east that has increased de-
mands for butter in rather large
percentages. He noted too that
| storage holdings were generally
lower than those of year ago. 1t
Is probable too that decreases in
production in other areas may be
affecting the rise.

SAUK CENTRE LOST
FIRST CAGE GAME
fContinued From Page One)

Typical opening game 1t was one
fraught with heavy fouling. Twen-
ty-nine called fouls slowed the
game, told Of improper poise, and
that type Of fouling that comes
with not knowing just where
they're going. For Sank Centre in
ability to connect on shots told
their story, but lying deeper was
their inability to function smooth
ly as a unit.
Free throws alone can tell the
story. Each team scored points
by way of the gift toss route. Sank
Centre missed 10 out Of a possible
IS; Swanville was even more at a
loss missing 10 out of a possible
p shots.
Arneson scored first in the first
quarter when the crew setup a play
and he swung in from the guard
post to score under the basket or
a pass from Rosedahl Swanville's
quick break began setting the pace
in the ball game and Swatfager
and Smith scored along with Mel
ke's free throw to take to 2
lead at the end Of the quarter.
It was Swanville's second quar-
ter that put them in the ball game
right. McRae, Smith, Mielke and
Swatfager scored before Sank Gen.
ire had taken a point. Cotton add
ed three gift losses; Arneson and
Mooney each took one. Swatfag-
er's goal ended the half with Swan
Vile in a to 1 lead at 16 to 8.
A third quarter taken over by
Sank Centre put them into the
running and Arneson's goal and
two free throws with MONEYS
bucket closed the gap to one field
goal. Walthers final bucket set
the count at quarters end at 10
to IA.
Lapsing into a scoreless frame
except for Proell's and Hunsmann's
free throws, Sank Centre watched
Swanville roll on in it's best frame
running up an eight point count to
clinch the victory.

are good for any food listed by the
Secretary of Agriculture as a Sur
plus Commodity.
The Stamps are bought by the
clients in book form. Thus relief
clients who have relief orders for
food can buy Orange stamps with
their orders and receive Free a
certain number of Blue Stamps.
Thus a relief family of four must
buy $18 worth of Orange stamps
per month, and then will receive
Free 50 worth of Blue stamps. The
maximum and the minimum
amount of Orange and Blue
stamps that can be purchased by
clients per month Is regulated.
These stamps can be redeemed by
the merchants through their local
banks or through the wholesale
house.
The Food Stamp Plan in short:
1. increase the buying power of
relief clients; 2. increases food con-
sumption; 8. increases the volume
of business for retail merchants.
