CALL FOR ARREST
OF HARRY BRIDGES
WARRANT ISSUED FOR WEST
COAST LABOR LEADER BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL
,ny associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. ia
warrant calling for the arrest OF
Harry Bridges. west coast labor
leader, has been issued by At
torney General Jackson's office
here, it was announced today.
Bridges will face new deporta-
ton proceedings at San Fran
cisco, beginning March 81. Bridg-
es, who heads the CIO Longshore-
mans Union sof the Pacific coast,
is a native of Australia.
Jackson reopened proceedings
on evidence brought forward by
FBI agents asserting the labor
leader to be a communist.
Since the communist party has
advocated the violent overthrow
|of the United States government,
Jackson said the evidence would
be sufficient to try Bridges un-
der the alien registration act OF
1910.
Bridges, told of the proceedings
against him, said the new hear
ings amount to persecution.

WILLET GETS
SECOND CALL
VESSEL HAD STARTED OUT

Distress signals from the
stranded yacht Marpatcha off the
Cuban coast last night sent the
wrecking tug Willet on her second
false alarm of the day.
The tug, which had started to
the Msarpatcha's assistance in the
morning and then been told her
help would be unnecessary, did it
again last night. The second
time, the Willet had cast off and
was proceeding to Cuba when a
message arrived with news that
the Marpatcha was already being
assisted.
Associated Press reports this
morning said a Cuban gunboat
had been dispatched to the
yachts assistance.

REVIEWS LIFE OF
/ ABRAHAM LINCOLN
ON ANNIVERSARY
GROWING MYTH RELATES
VARIOUS ACTIVITIES AND
STANDING OF PRESIDENT
OF CIVIL WAR DAYS

FORT WAYNE, Ind. Feb. 49,
An ever-increasing mythology has
sprung up around the life of
Abraham Lincoln, DR.. L. A. War
rem, director of the Lincoln Ma
tional Life Insurance Company's
Lincoln Museum. stated here to-
day on the l32nd anniversary of
Lincoln's birth.
"A growing Lincoln myth states
that his fatner was sniftless and
poverty-stricken,' DR.. Warren
said. AS matter of fact, Mr..
Lincoln owned and had paid cash
for the 300 acre farm on which
Abraham was born. When the
Lincoln family moved to Indiana,
MIR. Lincoln took with him the
equivalent of $500 cash in addi-
ton to the family's personal be-
longings.
According to another myth,
Lincoln sprang from an obscure
family. In Abraham Lincoln's di-
rect paternal ancestry was gov
ernor of the State of Massachu-
sets, governor of the State of
Maine, general in the Revolu-
tionary War, and the Attorney
General in Thomas Jefferson's
cabinet.
Still another myth pictures
Lincoln as consistent failure UNI
til destiny swept him into the
presidency. Actually Lincoln was
elected to the Illinois Legislature
at the age of Is and was reelected
at each biennial election there
after for eight years. AT the age
of q he was floor leader in the
legislature. At 81 he was presi-
DENTAL .elector for Harrison, al 35
elector at large for Clay, at 80 the
lone Wing congressman elected
from Illinois. In 1849 he declined
a tentative appointment as secre-
tary of Oregon. In 1854 he was
again elected to the legislature
and in 1855, with no effort what
ever on his part, he received ITO
votes in the first national Repub-
lican Convention as nominee for
the vice presidency"
Some of the other Lincoln
myths which DIR. Warren can dis
prove with documentary evidence
are: The questionable paternity
myth, the maternal lineage myth.
the matrimony myth, the Ann
Rutledge myth. the infidel myth,
the slavery myth, the Booth myth,
and modern debunking myths.

German Raiders Sink
Thirteen British Ships
OBy Associated Press)

is unknown how many ships were
in the convoy.
British admiralty reports issued
at the time of the admission of an
attack on the merchant ships said
units of the fleet had completed a
highly successful sweep of the
north Atlantic.
Apparently searching for sur
face raiders, the fleet was under
stood to have made a 1,100-mile
patrol of north Atlantic waters
and returned without an attack.
1t is pointed out in London that
units in convoy are ordered to
scatter upon attack and not to
send radio messages which would
give away their position. The adj
miralty thus will not get full re-
port on the German attack until
surviving ships reach port or send
messages from outside the danger
zone.

Proposal For Ending Hos

it. Is possible to state there was a
complete identity OF views of the
Spanish and Italian governments
on all problems of European
character interesting to these two
countries in the present historical
moment
What the conference will mean
to the European lineup is still a
matter of conjecture. Observers
have believed Italy and Germany
anxious to get Spanish bases for
further naval attacks on British
shipping in the Mediterranean,
but the possibility exists that
Spain will send legion into the
war to aid Italy.
With Greece reported turning
down German demands for a
peace with Italy, some observers
feel that French and Spanish
troops may be called into the war
to aid in push through the
Balkans. Ok.
Today's meeting between
Franco and Petain in an ancient
castle in France also is shrouded
with mystery Some observers
believe Petain may be interested
In little more than a coutsey call.
Every precaution has been
taken to cut off the town in which
the meeting is taking place, how
ever, and squads of special police
are surrounding the meeting
place.
Thousands of Spanish Ma
tionalists are still refugees in
southern France and the precau-
tons are believed partly to protect
Franco against a possible attack.
