SACRAMENTO, June 16. (UP)-
The assembl- today was asked to
concur in senate amendments to 2
s625 900 general claims bill from
which was eliminated a proposed
$1,000 payment to the widow OF
the late Warden Clarence Larkin,
fatally wounded IN the 1887 riot at
Folsom prison.
The senate also cut out similar
payments TO survivors of a guarc
killed in the riot. Members OF the
senate finance committee explained
they feared payments to widows OF
state employees killed during acts
of heroism might set a precedent
The upper house cut about $4OO'0Oo

SHIP SINKING
The United States learned last
week of the sinking of the American
merchant vessel Robin Moor in the
south Atlantic by a German sub
marine which was aware of the
vessels nationality. A protest and
demand for apology and reparations
awaits only receipt here of details
of the sinking.
First German reaction to the Rob-
in Moor incident was to threaten
that all ships bound for British ports
would be sunk if they carried mat
crial which might be used against
the Axis. The United States con-
tends that the Robin Moor, enroute
to Capetown, South Africa, did not
carry munitions. Welles replied to
German warnings by asserting that
our course would not be altered by
threats or bluster
Further damaging German Amer
ican relations is the all-out material
aid being rendered Great Britain
and, notably the United States At
lantic patrol operating 1000 miles
or more off our shores. While its
effectiveness has been disputed,
German discussion of the patrol
demonstrates the resentment in Ber-
lin against the procedure which en-
ables United States vessels to dis
cover, accompany and regularly re-
port the position of Nazi commerce
raiders. These radio reports in plain

GERMANS HESITATE

GERNlANS nESai Ale
The Germans criticized the preSi-
dents freezing order as "absolutely
unjustified" and indicated that the
Reich would retaliate in due order.
The Nazi press did not mention
the American action. However, any
German steps appeared likely to
be mainly of the nuisance variety
since Americans have long since
lost virtually all effective control
over their assets in the Reich.
The Russo German situation was
no less confusing Monday.
The grist of rumors included
these: that the Russian battle fleet
in the Baltic has been put on he
alert, that German shipping in the
Baltic has been called back to home
ports, that the Firms have started
civilian evacuation of HelSinki, that
Nazi ships have left Finnish ports,
that the Soviet has launched vir-
tual general mobilization, that the
Germans and Russians have signed
a new economic accord, that all mill
tary leaves have been cancelled in
Russia.
Against these rumors was set a
frank British warning to the effect
that Russia is not expected to fight
Germany and that Germany may
be masking preparations for an at
tack elsewhere = possibly on the
British Isles-with the well-publi-
clzed developments on her eastern
frontier.

The crash came at 3.24 pm. with
. tremendous roar.
Debris and pieces of the sand
stone slab, 100 feet on a side
and 80 feet thick, were shower
ed over section of the ruins,
but with little damage.
Mckinney reported h a {
heavy rains and SHOWS Of the
last six weeks probably had
loosened the underpinnings.
DR.. Donald Brand Of New
Mexico University, who has su-
pervised much of the archaeo-
logical excavation in the Sec
ton, said damage would be con-
fined to a relatively small seq
ment of the ruins.
Park service engineers had
been studying the rock for sew
eral years. For q time they had
considered tying it to the cliff
with cables but had concluded
It would last another 1000
years, anyway"

Some archaeologists incline to
the theory that the Bonitans'
exodus was through fear of the
Rock. Others believe they were
beset by drought.
Modern Indians know little
Of Peublo Bonito-the place
where the rock is braced up, or
hangs. Because of the dead
buried in Bonito's silent houses,
the Navajos believe it Is the

erection of the new building but
also the installation of dial cen

ing such q program"
Winslow said that, although
the design of the building had
not been completed, architects
have in mind q structure not
only Of great utility but also
of refined architecture which
will be q distinct credit to the

At the present time, the tele-
phone central office Is located at
