who was unopposed. Leaders Of the

they had to allow the election to go
by default.
The meeting was not without con-
tests, however. Mr.. Boyce was re.

and Yale Matzkin, secretary.
AS soon as Mr.. Hadley was NOM

He was nominated by Frank Rossi,

AS nominations were made, Presi-

1t was voted to hold dinner and

The anti Epson group in the
Young Mems Republican club found
itself unable to agree on candi-

and decided to draft Mr.. Boyce. The
plan failed when he refused to allow
himself to be nominated.

made to guide the Board OF Nam

their plans for the future.
Strengthen Organization
II seemed to be the opinion Of
representatives from many sec
lions of the city that the District
Organization should be strength
ened and kept active, so as to
again press for q city manager as
opportunity occurs, as 1t was well
recognized that the party system
Of city government, with the ne

ficient and economical operation
Of city affairs.
In the meantime, 1t was felt
that all members Of the Citizens

should continue an active interest
In civic affairs and be ready to
commend and support all officials
doing their best under the present
charter.
Hold More Sessions
After q two hour discussion the
rs present were served coffee and
'doughnuts and 1t was generally
felt that other gatherings should
be held during the year.
Attention was called to the an.

WI Situation Dangerous
I talked to several Netherlands,

ali expressed the belief that the STU

than 100000 Germans were con-

HOLLAND and Belgium kept their
NERVES steeled and their defenses In

acknowledgements could obtain In
Invading the low countries. They
said that untold damage could be
done and terrible MUSCLES might
result but that there was but the
smallest chance Of Germany break
ing through, provided allied support
was forthcoming as soon as possible.
t Trying to Remain Neutral
Il was pointed out that Holland
was doing all she could to remain
nerfectly neutral. It was said that
Netherlands defenses would be Of
no great value against an over
Whelming German air attack, and
that O lack Of heavy artillery must
be solved. But II was added that so
long as the spirit remained, and
the Netherlands defenses could be
reinforced by inundation, an enemy
would be unable to break through
on the ground. This, informants
said, undoubtedly removed an I'M
portant advantage TO an attacker
and It was impossible to see what
would be gained from an attack
unless II were launched In spirit
Of despair.

here, that any Subterranean peace
