FIRST FLAG DAY OBSERVED HERE IN YEARS WITHOUT
 VETERAN ED LTNDMAN

Flag Day was observed in Wran- gell Wednesday with a full display of flags on business houses, public and homes and concluded with Flag Day ceremonies at the Elks hall in the evening. Past Ex- alted Ruler James Nolan gave the history of the flag and H. B. Thorn quist, Past Exalted Ruler of Skag- way lodge, the story of the flags. Miss Dorianne Barnes played the piano for patriotic songs sung by the audience.
 It was the first Flag Day observ- ance for Elks in many years in which "old faithful" Ed Lindman wasn't t on hand. pioneer Ed having gone south the past winter to be with his daughters in Seattle. For a quarter of a century no Flag Day or other patriotic occasion was quite complete in Wrangell without Ed Lindman. Through the many years he lived in this community he was the official decorator" and excel lent one. They still talk of the dis play he put on on the occasion of the visit here of the late President Harding. No. 1 Wrangell Elk, Ed had seen to it always that Flag Day was the real thing for display. The boys are missing him sorely.

NO QUARTER GIVEN
 IN BATTLE OF THE FLATS

MEXICO CITY = Mexican land lords, forbidden by presidential de- cree from raising rents or terminat- ing leases are trying desperately to drive tenants out so that they can get more money on new leases. Knowing that an apartment that rented a year ago for $40 a month now commands $70, landlords have put devils, a type of plug, into water pipes to reduce the flow to a trickle. Some cut off the water en- tirely except for two hours a day. In better class apartments, janitors were instructed not to make minor repairs or clean halls and stairways. The embattled tenants, retaliated by sweeping the halls themselves. They also appealed to the government which made 1t illegal to tamper with or restrict the flow of water to apartments

Fanatical German resistance ap-

Budapest today.

mitted Soviet pressure was in
creasing hourly and called upon
the Hungarian people to make
their capital another Stalingrad-

tic stages of a great offensive. re-
manned silent about the progress
of the assault on Budapest
Berlin commentators reported
rocious tank and infantry
battles all along the 50-mile siege
arc extending twe-thirds of the
way around Budapest.
The Germans said upwards of
100000 Russian and Romanian
troops had been hurled into the
spreading battle for Hungary in a
gigantic effort to engulf Budapest,
roll up the Nazi TANKS above and
below the capital, and lay open
the invasion road to Austria.

would be difficult TO halt short of
