Charges of professionalism against
Carmelita Landry of Fitchburg,

outdoor speed skating champion,
were dropped today, less than two
hours before start of the 1912 cham

based on Miss Landry's employment
at a playground In her home city
last summer.
Mr.. Miller said the board received
a signed statement from the Fitch
burg park superintendent testifying
that Miss Landry had been en-
ployed only as playground at
tendant, and not as an instructor.
He said A. A. U. regulations prohibit

during AFRAID blackouts has been
thwarted here.

gave this explanation of the trickery:
When the same japanese left the
Netherlands Indies shortly before
the war broke out, they told native
houseboy servants that If they
flashed lights skyward in air raids
their towns and villages would
escape bombing.
During trial blackouts lights be-
gan flashing.

For Entire Pacific

Dominion's First Envoy
By BLAIR BOLLES.

New Zealand Minister walter
Nash today urged immediate ap-
pointment of q supreme Allied
commander for the entire Pa
cific war area-preferably an
American naval ofncer.
Mr.. Nash pointed out that the
present command Of Gen. Sir Archi
bald Waven Is limited to the South
west Pacific and does not include the
area in which New Zealand lies.
Mr.. Nash advocated also eStab-
lishment of a Pacific War Council,
to be located in Washington to deal
with political questions arising for
the United Nations in the conduct
of the Pacific war against Japan
and her associates.
Sees Tough" Twelve Months.
In questions of operation and
strategy. however, Mr. Nash thought
that the supreme war commander
should have the final say. He sug-
gested that the Pacific commander
should have powers equivalent to
those exercised by Marshal Foch for
the Allies on the western front in
the first World War.
I'VE need concentrated naval COM
mand in order to smash Japan Mr
Nash said at a press conference at
the Roosevelt Hotel. He added:
THE next IL months will be the
toughest that the democracies have
ever had, on all fronts, Pacific and
elsewhere. But it will be tough for
our enemies, too. and think we will
win through. We have got greater
resources and better morale"
Met Hurley in Honolulu.
Mr.. Nash said that his govern
ment thinks the japanese might try
to invade New Zealand territory in
the South Pacific Ocean.
When reminded that New Zealand
is a long way from Toxic, he replied:
so is Pearl Harbor."
Mr.. Nash, who expects to present
his credentials as the first Minister
from New Zealand to President
Roosevelt early next week, disclosed
that in Honolulu, on his way to the
United States, he met Brig. Gen.
Patrick Hurley, travelling to New
Zealand to present his credentials as
