 One Hour of Talking
 For an hour the FBr men stood there while the draft dodger rec iterated his explanations of his con- duct, He told them he was neither Q conscientious objeetor nor on ap- peAser; that he hated both the Nazis and the Japs; but that he objected to the way World War II got started. The United States was responsible for starting the conflict, he figured.
 At the end of the hour, CarAart agreed to admit one of the agents to his T'horeau-llEe abode for a conference, and after another hour, he admitted the other two,
 "Ill agree to so with you fellows if you promise me I'll get 6 falr trial" Carhart said.
 The FBI men assured him they didn't want any trouble.
 Carhart left his isolated hillside cabin yesterday for long tele- phone conversation with the U, s attorneys office in Boston. How. ever, negotiations for . peaceful talk with federal officials failed when CarhArt was refused aSSur' ance that he would not be arrested

 Other meetings which were at" tended by various party leaders from different sections of the state both preceded and followed this Baldwin Talbot conference.
 Until about two weeks ago, it was regarded as almost certain that Baldwin would be candidate again, Since that time, however. there has been c decided swing to Talbot, with noticeable activity on Talbot's be- half in many quarters. In the meantime, tho position Of Baldwin remains that he has not decided whether he will be candidate, and that there Is no telling when a de- cision will be made,

 The important factor in the cur rent maneuvers is that Baldwin and Talbot are close friends. and will not fight over the nomination. It was understood that If the former governor desired to run again, Tal- bot would withdraw.
 If Talbot eventually became the candidate, 1t was regarded as cer- tain that Baldwin would support him wholeheartedly.
 Talbot came into statewide prom thence in January when he won the nff-season congressional election in the Fifth Distinct, which has been predominantly democratic for years. Tzis supporters pointed out that If he did become the party's candidate for governor his strength would lie in this highly.industrial area, which usually goes democratic. but might shift if Talbot headed the Republi- can ticket.

SEATTLE, March 21.-Hardened

will receive their traditional blessing
tomorrow with the realization a new
wartime peril may await them.
The Rev. o. L. Hawk Of the

but briefly on the threat of enemy
submarines.
He has asked Gov. Arthur B..

services, to speak on this new
menace that gives to this final gath
ering of the fishermen and their
families a grimmer meaning.

ready to face them. Mr.. Hawk said
They will be seeking halibut and
the valuable soupfln shark, but
they'll be ready for bigger fish.
Some, without boasting, have con-
fided to their friends they are hope
full of meeting some japanese
specimens.
Concern has been expressed along
the waterfront that Japanese mar
auders might seize upon the fishing
fleet in northern waters as means
of replenishing fuel and food
supplies.
There may be fears in the grave
faced womenfolk of the fishermen,
but there Is no admission of them
by the sturdy men who tend the
nets.
Whatever might happen, philoso-
phized Fisherman David Duvick, ut

counsel could apply to the United

During the original trial there
was considerable testimony about
long and expensive trips taken by
Schenck, lavish entertainment, and
stories of huge sums of money won
and lost by Schenck in gambling
The testimony regarding the trips
and entertainments brought up
claims of deductions for income tax
purposes and on this question the

atmosphere she has given to the

greatest reward, she said, in the
successful life hundreds of girls
lived at the home and carried into
the world later.
Duties to Be Divided.
Preoccupation with the medical
care and comfort Of the girls and
their children has been Miss Coles
24-hour-a day task ever since she
walked in the front door in April,
1924. The number of girls and the
duties entailed in the care have
doubled since that day, but Miss
Cole continued to carry them alone.
With her retirement, completing at
the same time IS years in Crittenton
work, the job will be split up between
an executive secretary, Miss Anne
w. Rogers, and a resident house
mother. Miss Juliet Warwick.
But the duties Of the home have
been only one phase of Miss Cole S
devotion to her job. She has worked
for years with the Legislative Com
mittee Of the Council of Social
Agencies to promote passage of a
bill permitting legal proof of birth
without record of illegitimacy.
When last Christmas she was able
to obtain for the mother of a young
man enlisting in the Army proof Of
his birth and not reveal the cir
cumstances to him, Miss Cole told
associates, MY work is done"
Now she is at it again, however,

For the first time the Navy is
providing its chaplains with eccle-
siastical equipment to conduct re-
ligious services on ships and at shore
stations.
Heretofore, chaplains have them
selves paid for crosses, candlesticks,
vases, communion cups and glasses,
or received the equipment as gifts
from religious organizations. Now
q new altar set Is provided for eacn

The new official altar was designed
by Capt. r. D. Workman, head OF
the Chaplain's Division of the Navy,
and Comdr. w. H. Rafferty, of the
Office of the chief of chaplains To
save space aboard ship the brass
cross is reversible with one face de-
signed for use In Catholic services
and the other in Protestant wor-
ship. Two brass candlesticks and
two flower vases complete the altar
set.
The new equipment is not the
only change in the Chaplain Corps.
Chaplains formerly were trained
merely by a few weeks association
with older chaplains. but now a
school has been opened at the Naval
Operating Base at Norfolk, Va.
Only graduates of approved theo-
logical schools are accepted as Navy
chaplains, and the new courses aug
ment the theological training with
studies in Navy regulations and pro-
cedure, customs and traditions, eti-
quette, Naval and Marine Corps his
tory, physical fitness, psychology and

is an extensive reading course.
