gagged "in particularly hazardous

The three ships. believed to have
been operating along the German
coast. normally carried a peace time

more men aboard for wartime
action. Some Of the crews of the

All three submarines were of the
smaller type, built for coastal opera

denying that any high army officers
had threatened to resign unless
the war secretary was removed.
mo officer serving at any time
ever said one word to me which
was inconsistent with his duty to
his ministerial chief the prime
minister declared.
The discussion by both Hore-
Belisha and Chamberlain was har-
monious, but the prime minister
refused to reveal the full reasons
for removal of the war secretary.
"I had become aware of diff
culties arising out of the very great
qualities of Mr. Hore- -Belisha, which
in my view made 1t desirable that
change should occur" he said,
apparently referring to the energy
and driving power of the former
secretary.

Jury knew OF such a thing the grand
jury should tell the board who
they were.
It was pointed out to the board
that the grand jury report did not
say that two persons from the
same family were working for the
county. They were handed copy
of the grand jury report in which
it said.
THE grand jury feel that in the
face of the ever increasing unem-
ployment load, school and other
public officials should give parti-
cular attention to situations where
two persons from one family are
paid from public tax funds. Es-
pecially this duplication should be
avoided where the hiring of mar
ried women is concerned as long
as the head of the family is holding
a public position"
The board took no action and
discussed the matter no further.

which it called government organ,
frightened bricklayers by saying
that great unemployment faced
them.
Volunteers for Finland were
promised high pay, the broadcast
said, but "curiouSly' contracts for
their services were not signed until
they arrived in Finland.
Newspaper comments on the Rus
sian protests against aid to Fin
land were strong in tone.
Dagens Nyheter, organ of the
Swedish peoples party, said:
who would not react from Rus
sian terror against open villages,
against unprotected innocent civil
ians? There lies, for example, the
innocent village of Ekenaes, the
most Swedish town of Finland, an
idyll without any war industry or
any other industry. Several times
there have been bombing raids on
this town. 1t is unprotected. There
fore the Russians dare to hit it
and it is among the hardest hit.
THE whole world over, none will
understand this action. But such
action cried for help and for that
reason we hope that such help will
come as soon as possible. That
Sweden itself will help we have
never denied"
Swedish newspapers showed plain
ly that the country realized the
danger of its defiance of Russia.
Both the conservative Allehanda
and the liberal Aftenposten of
Stockholm said that the people
must be prepared for the heaviest
sacrifices
Meanwhile it was revealed that
Sweden and Norway have received
written offers from Great Britain
to assist them if their independence
is threatened.
1t had been reported Saturday
| that shortly after the new year
Britain had offered to guarantee
SWedens neutrality, but that SWed-
en- had declined because she feared
Germany might regard such a guar
antee as justification for anti
Swedish action. The Scandinavian
sources which related this, said
that it was felt in Stockholm that
any aggression against Sweden
would find Britain on SWeden's
side anyway and there was no nee
esslty OF a formal pledge.

Apple Growers
Need Markets

OLYMPIA - Washington apple
growers have lost most of their
foreign markets and must find
new domestic ones. Gov. Clarence
ID. Martin said today In a procla-
nation urging Washingtonians TO
eat more apples
He set aside Oct. "a TO 81 rs
Apple Week in the state.
Since the outbreak of the war
abroad, one market after another
has been closed To the apples of
our state" he kaid. THE nature
of the apple growing industry is
such that production cannot be ex-
banded or contracted quickly to
adjust to marketing conditions.
This year, with even fewer foreign
m arkets available, Washington
growers will have larger crop.
II recommend that the people
of the state familiarize themselves
with the unexcsiled health values
and fine flavor to be found in this
wholesome fruit. BY so doing, our
citizens can gain greater protee-
ton. for their own health and as
sist at very critical time in an
industry that means so much TO
the state of Washington.

Fire OF Preus
Opponent Attacks
His Voting Record

sUMSER-Paul A Preus. Re-
publican nominee for congress. met
his opponent. the incumbent Con-
gresham John NJ Coffee. on the
platform for the first time in his
campaign Tuesday night.
The meeting was = political rally
at Sumner high school. sponsored
By the local unit. Junior States
men OF America.
Charging that Coffee was "evad-
ing and avoiding the issues Of this
campaign In a very convenient
manner by refusing to discuss
them" Preus attacked the voting
record OF Coffee on bills designed
and intended to stop un-American
activities"
MY opponent. who has Just
spoken 10 you, has generously left
me two minutes Of the 20 min
utes allotted TO the congressional
candidates" Preus began. HE tells
you that he does not intend to de-
fend himself against personal at
taeks. Yet he says that he wants
to be judged by his record. All
right. lets take a look at the
record, which is the only thing I
am interested In discussing.
After recounting the voting
