HONESTY

It takes very little deduction
to figure out that the ingenious
rats who stole the prizes from the
salmon derby in which Negroes
were not allowed to participate
were white. Although I have long
regarded the salmon derby as an
unsportsmanlike affair, I now
know that their applicants are Sc
lected only because of color, not
character They ought to hold one
at Steilacoom. That would be CON
venient for the judges.

Washington, Sept 11.-(UP)-The two New Deal members of the Smith labor board Investigating committee today accused Edmund M. Poland of using his position as committee counsel in behalf of Re- publican presidential nominee Wen- dell L. Willkie.
 Toland submitted his resignation in July when he telegraphed Willkie a pledge of support. The commit tee has taken no action on the reSig- nation.
 Reps. Arthur D. Healey, D., Mass, and Abe Murdock, D., Utah, ob- jected to Toland's further service with the committee when the group convened for a one-day session this morning. Murdock pointed out that Toland was making e Willkie cam paign speech in the west soon.
 Toland angrily replied that he considered the attitude of Murdock and Healey as "reprehensible and improper" The meeting was thrown Into confusion when Toland, reply ing to Murdocks accusation that hs was "biased and prejudiced." as' serted;
 "I'd like you to prove that, hu' you don't dare"
 Murdock rose and demanded thal the Ofilcial stenographer read To lands statement. Chairman How ard W. Smith. however, obtained agreement to have Tolaiad proceei with questioning witnesses.

 Nine German planes were report ed downed in a series of fierce dog fights.
 The daylight attack was launched from several directions but the main German squadron came up the Thames river, where diving British Spitfires and strong anti-aircraft fire scattered them after a dozen furious dogfights.
 Smaller squadrons then struck at the outskirts, dropping bombs that started fires, including one big one, in the southeast. Twenty-Five Ger man planes, of which one was brought down, were sighted over one suburb.
 Most of the attacking planes were driven of before they could drop bombs. but a third air raid alarm sounded at 5:0S p. m. u2.03 p. m. EDT.

TRANSFERS WERE
 ANXIOUS TO PAY
They Wanted to Settle for Radio Time Used By
 President

Washington, Sept 1l.-(UP)-Sen. Carl A. Hatch, D., N. M, said today that a teamsters union (AFD plan to help pay for President Roosevelt's radio address on the new deal labor record tonight would violate the spirit" of the Hatch clean-politics act.
 Hatch referred specifically to a proposal by union President Daniel J. Tobin that the organization con- tribute $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee toward the cost of the radio time consumed when MT. Roosevelt speaks before the unions convention here.
 Tobin suggested that the cost be defrayed among a number of locals so that none would be contributing more than $5O00, the limit placed on political contributions from any single organization.
 Hatch would not say whether the plan of subdividing the costs might be considered illegal but he declared that the proposal does violate the spirit of the act"

No harm has been done to the gray stone facade of the palace in front, where red coated guards once performed the famous ceremony of changing the Guard" Many thou sands of American tourists had witt messed that ceremony.
 But once inside the gate on the right, the correspondents saw the blackened and bomb-scarred wall in which almost every window was broken and, farther on, the jagged colonnades and shattered roof of the swimming pool.
 The swimming pool was built abutting wall of the palace as a conservatory but in 1888 the king had it made into pool for the two princesses.
 In peace time they used to plunge and splash about there each morn ing, becoming such proficient swim mers that they recently won prizes in competition with other girls. Today the water still was in the tank and the green diving platform stood at one end of the pool but everything else had been blown out.
 The bomb fen only a few feet from the end of the pool and made a crater 15 feet deep and 12 feet across, which was piled with
