IS GIBRALTAR IMPROBABLE"

A symbol of strength down
through the ages, the mighty Rock
of Gibraltar, England's fortress
guarding the Atlantic entrance to
the Mediterranean, has al last been
challenged by Great Britain's en-
emies. Whether il can withstand
the current onslaught as il did the
memorable hve-year seigc carried
on by Spain and France in 1903
is the question of the hour. In En-
glands possession since 1904, the
Rock" has been considered viz
tually imprcgnablc, but modern
implements of war being hurled
at her by the Axis powers and also
threatened hostile action by Spain,
may soon prove her worthiness as
base for the proud boast, Strong
as the Rock of Gibraltar" Here.
IN picture layout, the Rock" is
portrayed in all its might..with His
Majesty's feet, shore defenses and
England's contraband control all
playing their part.

Ferry Proposal
Hits Legal Snag

Pierce county's plan TO buy the
ferry City Of Steilscoom from the
Washington Navigation Co. and
sell it to Capt. F. N. Hunt for his
Fox Island-Titlow Beach service
Saturday ran up against an ad-
verse legal opinion which may
void the contract.
Acknowledgement Smith Troy in
Olympia ruled the proposal illegal
for two reasons. One was that
ferries. as part Of the highway
system. could be purchased by a
county only with county road
funds. The county had planned
to pay for the boat out Of the
current expense fund.
Second illegal point, Troy held
was the plan 10 sell the ferry To
Capt. Hunt on installments
The county plan was to buy the
ferry from the Washington Navi-
CATION Co. for $4,000. II holds an
option taken at the time Of the
Narrows bridge agreement when
the county bought the compsny's
certificate Of public service. Hunt
had agreed to buy the vessel for
SIS. 900. paid over period Of five
years
Deputy Prosecutor Gilbert p
Peterson said Fox Islanders will
not suffer loss Of ferry service
since the Washington Navigation
Co has agreed IN continue opsr-
sting until the obstacles N Hunts
contract are removed II an ar.
rangement can be made for him
10 purchase for cash. the county
can buy the boat with gas tax
funds and complete the deal. he
said.

War on Chattanooga
Newspaper Charged
To Solicitor General
Bridges Accuses Biddle
In Defending WiIfkie
From New Deal Attack

New Deal charges that Wendell
Wlllkie killed one Chattanooga
paper that fought his public utilities
policies stood countered today with
the accusation that Solicitor Gen.
eral Francis Biddle had used his
Official position to war on another
publication for the benefit of two in
which he was interested in the Ten
neSsee city.
In a virtually deserted Senate
chamber early last night, Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire came to the defense of the
Republican presidential nominee,
declaring that New Deal officials and
supporters had joined in circulating
IAN audacious falsehood" that Mr..
Willkie was responsible for the death
of the Chattanooga News. which
fought him prior to its suspension
In December, 1889
Biddle Accused.
1T is a venomous falsehood be-
cause its originator, Mr.. Francis
Little Diddle' Biddle, was guilty of
attempting what he now charges
Mr.. Willkie of having accomplished"
the speaker said, and added:
Il here solemnly charge that the
present Solicitor General of the
United States not once but twice
had abused his official position, first
as counsel for the T. V. A. Investi-
eating Ton, Y1ittnn onH caonnd
Solicitor General, in attempts to in
jure and destroy a newspaper whose
only afternoon rival was a paper in
which Francis Biddle was financial
, ly interested. Had he succeeded, he
would have lined his pockets with
the resulting dividends"
Senator Bridges said that on Octo-
Der II, 1899, Mr.. Biddle was listed as
one of the stockholders of the
News. He charged that at that
time, while Mr.. Biddle was serving
as counsel for the T. v. A. Investi-
eating Committee, he had borrowed
some shoppers from another Federal
shopping agency to go after the
News afternoon rival, the Free
Press
Furthermore" Senator Bridges
asserted, for some months he has
been using his present position as
Solicitor General to harass and in
jure the successful newspaper Gree
Press. He was financially inter-
ested in a second opposition news
paper which suspended September
of this year" The speaker said
the latter paper was the Chatta-
nooga Tribune
