other Tacoma pioneer, Charles u.
G. Rowland.
Since its inception, this pioneer
concern has enjoyed confidence of
the insuring public, resulting in
steady and substantial growth in
business until now the concern is
one of the largest of its kind on
the Pacific coast, maintaining its
home office in Tacoma and branch
offices in principal cities along the
coast.
In addition TO the many forms
of insurance generally written by
American and admitted companies,

BERLIN COMMENTS
(The German radio, still capital
izing on allied problems in French
Africa, quoted reports from Wash
ington that on Dec. p, three days
before Darlan's murder, an at
tempt was made to assassinate
Gen. Auguste Nogues, French resi-
dent general in Morocco)
Giraud implied plainly that OAR
lan's assassination was not mere
ly the work of an individual.
He held his press conference as
the result Of rumors which began
circulating here when the news
leaked OF the arrest OF the ~
Frenchmen. These rumors con-
cerned in part the identity. back
ground and motive Of the young
Frenchman who was executed last
Saturday for Darlans assassina-
ton.
Giraud undertook 10 give cor
respondents a picture Of what he
was trying to do. and agreed to
answer their questions.
IF one must fight at the front
there must be complete order be-
hind the lines" he said. order
could not have been called com
plete here when the then high COM
missioner Adm. Darlan was as
sassinated.
II should like 30 believe that
the murder was the work Of n
lunatie, but such was not the
case.

Steel Tubing Blasted

THERE we're four Of five small
Il pieces which had evidently
formed part of a short length Of
teel tubing threc-eighthS of an
inch in diameter. They had been
smashed fiat by the explosion.
Or. Wood pricd them open
after making longitudinal cuts,
and with the aid OF a micro
scope found spiral grooves.
There were also some tiny L.
shaped pieces of steel wire,
which might have been a chain.
but which Wood suspected had
actually heen a continuous piece,
coiled inside the tube In the
form Of a spring.
This gave him his first clue
10 the firing mechanism.
There were other tiny copper
