Os ~ \ Cs4AO4AS A4A44V44 OA U444o O4Uye Many Democratic leaders, in- cluding those who agree with MT. FitzGerald,s statement. are angry because of the fact that the New Haven man is speaking as the tsate leader of the party. They declare that neither MT. FitzGerald nor anyone else can speak for the state delegation, whose makeup has not yet even been seriously discussed.
 Revives Rumor
 MT. FitzGerald's declaration re- wives reports that he and Mayor Thomas Spellacy of Hartford will seek to end their differences and unite in common front to wrest control of the state organization fro mthe leadership represented by State Chairman Smith.
 Any FitzGerald-Spellacy align ment will have most important effect on the state political picture thin fall. It was dissension in the Democratic ranks two years ago that was largely responsible for the election of the state Republican ticket.
 Court Battle In It
 Another factor being considered by those studying the FitzGerald state- ment is the battle for the place on the U. s. district court bench. One of the leading candidates has been

Pajala Bombing of Yester- day Results In Drastic
 Order FULL COMPENSATION
 FOR DAMAGE ASKED l37 Bombs Dropped By Reds Termed Greatest Violation of Neutrality
BY HOLGER HANSEN United Press Staff COrrespondent)

United Press Staff COrrespondent)
 Stockholm, Sweden, Feb ruary 9. = (UP) = The Swedish northern army corps, was understood today to have received instruction to strengthen air defense forces and to shoot on sight all Russian airplanes flying over Swedish territory. The commander in chief of the northern forces announced that the Swedish air force would enter into action immediately if foreign planes again cross the frontier of Sweden.
 Ask Compensation
 Following a Russian bombing of the Swedish frontier town of Pajala' yesterday, 1t was reported in the Stockholm press that the govern- ment had asked full compensation for damage done to property in It's protest to Moscow.
 Meantime, precautionary meas ures were ordered. The commar- der chief of the northern army corps, stationed adjacent to Finland, received strict orders for reinforce ment of the air defenses. The orders said that live shells must be used in firing at any Rus sian planes which violate Swedish territory.
 Recently, Sweden has greatly strengthened its land defenses in the area adjacent to the Finnish frontier, turning the Boden military. area into an armed camp.
 Greatest Violation"
 Asserting that a Russian air. plane bombing of Pajala was "ons of the greatest violations of reu. trality ever seen," the newspaper Stockholm -Tidningen said today that the government in a protest to Russia had asked full compensation for damage done to Swedish prop. erty.
 Sweden still wants peace and SC does all Scandinavia" said the news paper, however, it is certainly darkening up here and perhaps all neutrals in the near future will have to make serious decisions"
 Of the raid, the newspaper com mented:
 Inhabitants of the small Swed- ish town of Pajala yesterday got a serious warning from a possible 4a1,, A1HA nsSc- sians did not succeed in killing any, one but the raid caused heavy darn- age"
 IS Bombs Dropped
 Local reports were that seven Russian planes dropped about 1S7 bombs on the town, slightly damag- ing a church and small unoccu- pied hospital room and setting fire

British CensOrs Ordered Off Plane By Captain;
 Marines Seized It

New York, February 9. = (UP) - British Marines seized 2,6O0 pounds of Ameri- can mail from a Pan Ameri- can Airways Clipper at Der muda, January 18, it was learned today. Pan Ameri- can has turned the whole question of British censor ship of U. s. Air mail at Der muda over to Secretary of State Cordell Hull, it was learned, and therefore was not in a position to discuss the incident.
 Pan American officials refused to confirm or deny the seizure.
 Protest Made
 Captain Charles A. Lorber, in charge of the Clipper invaded by the British Marines, protested at the time to British authorities at Bermuda, 1t was explained, and then the company turned the matter over to the Department of State. It has been complying with British censorship regulations since without protest.
 The incident marked the inaugur- ation of British censorship of U. S. Air Mail at Bermuda. Captain Lorber,s Clipper, had landed there January lS en route to Lisbon. Brit lsb seEnsors boarded the craft and announced they were going to re- move its cargo of mall.
 Ordered British Off
 Captain Lorber, the United Press was told, informed the British party that the Clipper was an American ship and that he would not permit examination of its mail. After a heated argument, Lorber ordered the British off the Clipper.

Sales and Income Tax
Backed by Association

The Friendship Citizens Associa-
tion last night indorsed a combined
sales tax and income levy on salaries
of $4,000 or more in the District.
The group also passed a linked
resolution urging more equitable
Federal share toward District ex-
penses, the sentiment being ex-
pressed that no additional taxes
would be necessary should Federal
funds be increased.
Legalized horse racing in WASH
ington was opposed. Praising the
"outstanding civic work" of Harry
S. Wender, vice president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
the Friendship group Endorsed Mr..
Wender to fill the present vacancy
on the Police Court bench.
The group opposed Zoning Com
i mission proposal to rezone an area
at Van Ness street and Wisconsin
avenue NV. from "A" residential
to semi residential. Protesting
against this and the recent decision
of the commission affecting an area
at Albemarle street and Wisconsin
avenue, the association voiced the
belief that the sentiment of the
community. especially of residents
within flve-block area radius of
a contemplated zoning change
should be taken into consideration.
The vote was divided.
