CONSERVATION EXPERT
SPOKE HERE TUESDAY,

Minnesota's water area setup is
unique in that the water that Is
here has had to fall, Tom Kelly, OF
the Minnesota Department Of
Conservation, told members at Ro-
tary Club Tuesday noon. He spoke
that afternoon to the students Of
the high school. The program was
arranged through Supt. E. w. o.
son for both appearances. Mr..
Kelly pointed out the geographical
points Of the state that make his
statement possible. It's drainage Is
to almost all points Of the compass,
the Mississippi rises here. He
pointed out that the altitude from
the headwaters to the southeastern
point of the state where the Miss
ssippi river leaves Minnesota drops
almost sixty percent of the entire
fall of the river in all its length.
He illustrated his talk with hand
drawn pictures.

CORRECTION

In an item last week appearing
in the Herald it was stated that
Mrs. v. G. Wedge, Of Portland, Ore
gon, shortly after her return from
this state, broke her arm on
Thanksgiving Day. 1t was not Mrs.
Wedge who suffered the fracture
but her sister, Mrs. Elgin, Of
Rochester, who had gone to the
Wedge home for a brief visit. The
Herald Is sorry on both counts:
that there was an accident at all,
that we incorrectly placed the &C
client on Mrs. Wedge instead Of
Mrs. Elgin.

State Department
Resumes Talks
With Russia
Oumonsky to Confer
With WeIIes Today;
Gains Small So Far
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Immediate resumption of diplo-
matte talks between the United
States and Russia, interrupted by
the recent visit to Berlin of the
Soviet Premier. Vyacheslaff Molo-
toff. was disclosed today at the
State Department.
A meeting was announced for
late afternoon between Constantine
Oumansky, Soviet Ambassador, and
Sumner Welles, Undersecretary of
State. 1t was the first such con-
ference scheduled since United
States conversation S
stopped shortly before Molotoff
went to Berlin for talks with Adolf
Hitler and other German leaders.
This apparently meant Molotoff' s
Berlin visit had not impaired the
negotiations which have been in
progress here for several months
looking to general improvement of
Russo-American relations.
The Welles- Oumansky talks have
dealt with trade and related prob
lens with a view to adjusting these
before going on to broader questions.
Gains on each side have been
relatively small so far, but both the
United States and Russia were
understood to desire to continue the
conversations for the present in the
hope of more tangible results.
Molotoff's trip to Berlin caused
concern at the time in official quar-
tiers here lest 1t presage closer Rus
sian alignment with the axis, possibly
as partner in the Berlin Rome
Toxic front.
Since then, the axis has signed up
Hungary, Rumania and tiny Slovakia,
but as yet there has been no surface
indication either that Russia would
join, or accede to apparent Japanese
desires for a Soviet-Japanese nom
aggression pact.
Moreover, evidence has been lack
ing of any Russian pressure on
Turkey to break of the alliance with
Britain and take sides with the axis
powers. Turkeys stand consequently
appears unaltered.
Other indications that Russian
policy had changed little, If any,

Draft Appeal Possible
Only After Local
Board Has Acted
Headquarters Unable
To Act on Deferment
Pleas, Dykstro Says
BY CARTER BROOKE JONES.

Men registered for selective serv-
ice may appeal to higher authority
only after local boards have refused
to defer them from military service,
1t was announced today at National
Selective Service headquarters.
Commenting on many appeals for
deferment on various grounds which
have come directly to headquarters
or to the White House or members
OF Congress, Selective Service Direc-
tor c. A. Dykstra pointed out that
such petitions are useless until the
draft boards have acted. The first
claim for exemption or postpone
ment of training should be made to
the boards themselves, he explained.
If a man has been classified as
available for immediate military
service he may carry the ruling of
his board to the regional board of
appeals, and, in exceptional cases
involving dependency, to the Presi-
dent, Mr.. Dykstra pointed out.
Such an appeal should be made
within five days after the regis
trant is classified unless the local
board grants an extension of time.
The District Board of Appeals has
just taken Office.
Requirements to Be Met.
Director Dykstra held that no ap-
peal may be MADE to the President
until these provisions of the selec-
tive service regulations are met:
Il. A board of appeal must have
classified the registrant for mill
tary service and at least one men,
Der of the board must have dis
