PEARL HARBOR, r. H., April II.
Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, one Of
the busiest men in the war, laid
aside his grim duties for . moment
today to express quiet pride In the
men under his command and to
thank 200 enlisting Texans, who
took as their name the Admiral
Nimitz Unit" Of the United States
Navy.
The commander in chief Of the
Pacific Fleet, a native Of Fredericks-
burg, Tex, commented that "the
spirit Of new personnel, officers and
men alike, who have joined the fleet
since the beginning of hostilities is
at the same high level as that Of our
veteran crews.
Those who are seeing action for
the first time are meeting the enemy
with the same calm courage and
attention to duty as Is displayed by
their seasoned shipmates."

The next time that you, or you,

approval Of some violently juggling

"Pfui," he will scoff. Those
people are haywire. They're having
fun, which is good, but that Is not
the rumba. Do you know what that
is? Cuban jitterbug. You don't
see that In Cuba-only in the movies

He may then suggest that you
bring your girl around SO he can

email space Of five minutes.
Whether or not you agree with
Velasquez, whether you decide he Is
nothing but a rank, unreasonable
purist, you will ct least have to con-
fess that his formula Is far less q
threat to physical well-being than
that practiced by Cuban jitterbugs."

When DR.. Strunk was named as
commissioner, 1t was felt that the
right man had been chosen. He COM
bined rare executive ability with a
large dose Of common sense and has
made an enviable record during his
administration. It was hoped he
would reconsider his resignation, but
it is evident he felt otherwise and has
had enough.
We are sorry to say 1t, but feel that
whoever is named to the responsible
post will be unsatisfactory to some OF
the citizens. Minnesota is, and has
been that way ever since We can re-
member-and that embraces the past
54 years. The larger part of the dis
senSion is experienced in the Fish
and Game department when some
want to shoot ducks, pheasants, game
birds and deer and to catch fish when
ever they see fit and have their gun
and fishing rod handy. The matter
of game laws is very unnecessary
luxury. The Forestry and Mines and
Mining divisions have been compare
lively free Of dissension. This ap-
plies to the Forestry department in
particular.
The Miner has a suggestion to offer:
Have three commissions named-One
for the northern counties; one for the
Twin Cities and one for the southern
section. Then have the game laws
made applicable to only the section
served. No law applying to the nor
thern section will fit in the southern
and neither will fit the Twin City
area. The Cities bunch have arro-
gated themselves the perogative oi
telling us up here how to run the fish
and game Of this area-the only Sec
ton Of the state with any fish anC
game to speak of. The Illinois, In.
diana, Iowa and Pennsylvania people
have joined the anvil chorus in help
ing them out in giving orders.

choice for the northern section an6
Vern Joslin for the southern end with
the Twin Cities selecting a man from
the score or more who feel themselves
politically endowed to fit such a high
place as experimenting eight or more
game wardens in that area who prob
ably have little more to do than to
watch the catfish and bullheads in the
Mississippi and go out for lunch. oh
yes we forgot to mention that they
also stop the cars coming from the
northern and southern fishing lakes to
count the catch and see that the
state is not cheated by the poachers
from their area coming from the
10000 lakes region with their catch
Each one of our game wardens in this
area has about Is square miles Of real
hunting and fishing grounds to over

opening of the church, which has been
completely remodeled in its interior.
The floor plan of the church has been
changed by building the chancel at the
west end of the church instead Of the
south as in the original edifice built
in 1898. All furnishings are new, in
cluding the altar, pulpit and pews.
-Four gothic style church windows have
been installed. An insulation tile cell
ing and plaster walls and oak flooring
are among other improvements. The
John N. Rautio Contracting company
was in charge Of the remodeling, for
which plans had been drawn by
Architect E. A.. Jyring. The Vermilion
Electric Shop installed the wiring and
light fixtures. Rugs for the chancel
and aisles were purchased from the
Laing Hardware company, and ex-
tensfve remodeling of the heating
plant was done by the Acme Plumbing
company.
The church was organized in 1890,
and the first edifice was built on
Chandler street. The present building
on Camp street has served the con-
gregation since 1898. The congrega-
ton became a member Of the Finnish
National Evangelical Lutheran church
Of America in 1898. The Rev. E. A.
Heino has been the pastor since July

also brings to the fore the dyspeptic

spinal ailment and sharp tongue,
who played no little part in the for

These men, with their subordinates,
hold the center of the great canvas on

A DEFENSE FOR
ADMIRAL DARLAN
and The FLEET

Do not be too hard on Admiral
Darlan. Without consulting Darlan
or the French, Britain permitted the
German Navy to expand, and at the
Naval Conference in 1880 Darlan had
to fight bitterly against Italian naval
parity reducing the French navy.
Only the other night commentator
criticized the French navy for its alb
sence from Narvik, but Campinchi,
French Minister of the Navy, told
Lazareff of the Paris-Soir, according
to his book ''Deadline": "The report
of your special correspondent, CASTOR
Benac, was ignored. He was absolute
" right" Ut seems that Benac sent
word from Narvik before the German
attack that the freighters in the har-
Dor at Narvik were German freight
ers full of German troops and that
most of the stevedores in Narvik were
German. The censor said that Nor
way would resent this sensational un-
proved story and it was not allowed
to go through.)
Campinchi went on, "When you for
warded his report to us there was still
plenty of time for us to prevent the
German coup at Narvik from succeed
ing. You would be amazed how bad
" informed the Ministers of the Ma
tional Defense are, even the Premier
himself. Military leaders aren't much
better off -. For example, neither
Paul Reynaud nor l know exactly
what is going on in Norway. The Ad-
miral of the Fleet, Darlan, is in a
towering rage at his General Head
quarters at LaMalmaison. The Eng
lish aren't telling him more than a
fraction of what they are doing"
Darlan tried to oppose Germany in
Spain in 1885, On a secret official
mission to England he told of the
danger to France of having Germans
and Italians on the South French
border. Darlan came home from Eng
land much annoyed with his treatment
there.
In the last two days before the end
he decided to hold the French fleet as
a bargaining point for France. 1t is
no more than fair to tell his years
of defending the French Navy and
France.
