Specific periods of the suspensions
meted out to eight student nurses
at Freedmens Hospital for alleged
misconduct were announced today
by DR.. John w. Lawlah, superin-
tendant, as an aftermath of party
IN which there had been some
drinking.
Six senior and two junior nurses
were disciplined. Two seniors we're
suspended for 30 days, two others
for six months and two for one year.
Two junior students also were sus-
pended for one year. The seniors
can take examinations, before the
District board upon expiration of
the suspension period, DR.. Lawlah
pointed out.
Eleven flrst-year nursing students
were dropped, three of them per-
manently, for poor scholarship, he
said. The eight temporarily dropped
are eligible to take the course again
beginning about March, DR.. Lawlah
stated.

The Nazis have been heavily
engaged elsewhere and have not
been able to pay more than per-
functory attention to the two
West African naval bases. Re-
ports that they are being used by
Nazi subs have been confirmed
by many sources. But the actual
defense of the two ports and
their hinterlands has been left to
local French authorities.
Plant Tool of Vichy.
Pierre Boisson, governor of
French West Africa, is a plant
tool of Vichy On his return to
Dakar he began to prepare
its avilable forces, comprising
mostly Senegalese troops with
antiquated equipment, for fight
against an expected enemy land
ing at Dakar.
The Nazis are reported not
fully satisfied with present de-
fenses of French territories and
with preparations made by the
local commanders. But these
territories are far from Nazi
bases. Except for sending some
planes, the Nazis are not able to
move armed forces to the outly-
ing parts of these territories,
since neither the Trans-Saharan
railroad nor the new desert high
way have been completed.
Laval appears convinced that
the United Nations will attack
North Africa and seems to base
his belief on the fact that the
British are continuing the con-
quest of Madagascar while we
have made personal arrange
ments with Admiral George Rob-
ert, commander of French forces

The victory of Senator Ball,
Republican, of Minnesota in the
recent State primaries will bring
no balm to the isolationists,
those who have believed that the
United States could or should
stand aloof in the world and
those who believed that this
country was not to be attacked.
For Senator Ball, at time
when the America First Com
mittee was going strong and
Minnesota was believed to be one
of the banner isolationist States,
spoke out bluntly against the
whole policy of isolationism. He
was young Senator-serving by
appointment of Gov. Stassen in
the place of the late Senator
Lundeen, who had been a leader
of the isolationist group. 1t was

The French forces in North

The North African aviation,
comprising mostly scouts and
fighters, lacks gasoline, and the
artillery has little ammunition.
The German general staff, which
on occasion is more suspicious
than the Gestapo. has vetoed all
attempts to reorganize the
French Army in Africa. 1t fears
and most observers say its fears
are justif1ed-that once the North
African army is armed it might
turn against the Axis.
While Dakar and Casablanca
have been given some heavy ar
tillery and the Notifications de-
Tending the two harbors have
been greatly strengthened under
the supervision of Nazi special
lists, the forces behind these ports
lack modern war equipment.
The French and Nazis have
paid particular attention, how
ever, to the sea defense of the
African bulge. According to
French Information, there is an
imposing naval force at Dakar.
Besides the modern 35,000-ton
battleship Richelieu, whose dam

Three Brokers Indicted
In ALLEGED Stock Fraud

Two Washington security brokers
and a New York broker were in
dicted by the District grand jury
yesterday on charges of defrauding
a number of Washington residents
in the sale of stock in Pinlex, Inc. a
concern manufacturing and selling
patented pinless diapers.
An official of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, which earlier
this week revoked the broker dealer
registration of the firm headed by
one of the defendants, estimated
the loss to the investors would
amount to $4,000.
Named in the indictment are
Philip A. Frear. operator of the
firm of Frear & Co., Inc. until re-
Gently located in the Woodward
Building; George J. Mitchell, jr.,
claimed to be an officer of Frear &
Co, and J. Leroy Bouton of New
York City, a director of the Pinlex
concern.
The indictment alleges that the
three men defrauded numerous In
vestors in the District of money and
property in the sale of Pinlex stock
by numerous false and fraudulent
representations and promises"
1t further charged that the de-
PENDANTS promised that money in

vember elections. The Demo-
cratic party in Minnesota has
been in allegiance for years, and
the Farmer-Labor party has
been shot to pieces by internal
strife in the last four years.
Former Gov. Elmer Benson,
who was nominated to run
against Senator Ball on the
Farmer-Labor ticket, stands very
little chance. The Democratic
nominee, Edward Murphy, has
far less chance than Mr.. Benson.
Mrs. Lundeen, widow of the for
mer Senator, was beaten de-
cisively in the primary by Mr..
Benson.
Mr.. Benson, by the way, was
an isolationist until Germany
attacked Soviet Russia. Then,
like many other radicals, Mr..
Benson became an intervention
list. He will have no issue, there
fore, on foreign policy against
Senator Ball.

this war has been concluded the
isolationists. and their allies, the

Lindbergh Boom Punctured.
1t Is not difficult to remember
when Charles A. Lindbergh, who
hailed originally from Minnesota,
was being widely talked OF as a
possible contender for the Re-
publican senatorial nomination
against Senator Ball. Mr.. Lind
bergh epitomized the isolationist
sentiment in this country at that
time. Pearl Harbor. however,
changed the picture entirely. Mr..
Lindbergh faded out as political
possibility.
One Republican isolationist,
Representative Youngdahl of the
5th Minnesota district, was
beaten in the primaries by DR..
Walter Judd. There, in the SEN
atorial race, the issue was foreign
policy of the United States. On
the other hand, Representative
Knutson, Republican, veteran
of the 9th district and one of the
isolationist leaders in the House
before this war drew in the
United States, won denomination.
The victory of the Stassen fac

the supporters of the Governor
may be so-called, was rather
complete. The Governor him.
self won handily in a field of
three, with over 10000 votes to
125,0O0 for his nearest opponent,
and much smaller vote for the
third candidate. Also, the Gov
ernor's choice for Lieutenant
Governor, Ed Thye, who had
been a deputy commissioner of
agriculture, was nominated in a
field of eight candidates. This
nomination was particularly
pleasing to Gov. Stassen, since he
plans next year to join the
Navy-he is only IS years old
and leave the administration of
State affairs to the Lieutenant
Governor.

bearer of 1910, was attacking the
old isolationist stand of the Re-
publican party, and Gov. Stassen
was supporting Mr.. Willkie.
Senator Ball took his political
life in his hands and stood for
what he believed the best inter-
ests of the country. He can con-
gratulate himself that he did so.
For the Senator won out in the
Republican senatorial primary
Tuesday, receiving a majority of
the votes cast for the four can
didates, including himself. His
nearest opponent, Walter K.
Nicholson, ran $4,000 to 10000
votes behind him.
Mr.. Nicholson had the support
during the primary campaign of
Senator Shipstead, whose secre-
tary he had once been. Senator
Shipstead made two speeches for
Mr.. Mickelson. The campaign
waged against Senator Ball was
on his support of the Roosevelt
foreign policy and his denuncia-
ton of the isolationist policy.
Senator Shipstead belonged to
the so-called isolationist group
in the Senate before Japan's at
tack on Pearl Harbor.
In his keynote address in his
campaign, Senator Ball declared
fatty that "the one issue in this
campaign overshadowing all
others is the foreign policy of
the United States, past, present
and future" He declared for a
complete victory before peace is
made.
Called for Peace Enforcement.
He laid down a program which,
If carried out at the conclusion
OF the war. would remove this
country absolutely from the posi-
tion of isolationism it sank into
after the close of the World War.
He called for machinery for the
peaceful settlement of disputes
between nations - obviously a
world court. He advocated a
world police force to see that
peace is maintained. He urged
that this country and the whole
world avoid ANY repetition of the
disastrous cycle of nationalistic
trade barriers and tariff walls
which have strangled world trade
and commerce in the past 20
years.
These are declarations that
would have stood the G.. o. p.
leaders of the 20s and 30s on their
ears-absolute heresies from
their point of view.
