Congressman Magnuson Robbed of Valuable
 Papers Enroute North

SEATTLE, Jan. 24.-Congressman Warren G. Magnuson disclosed that a secret and confidential communi- cation from Navy Secretary Frank Knox he was carrying to Vice Ad- miral Frank Jack Fletcher, com- mander of the northwest sea from tier, was stolen from him last week at Vancouver, B. c.
 In the haul, besides the confiden- tial paper, Magnuson said, were all of his personal papers permit ting him to visit all Alaska defense centers,
 The Provincial Police asserted the theft was not made by professional thieves and certainly not by anna teurs. This leads to the possibility an enemy agent was trailing Mag nuson.
 Magnuson said he doubted ser iously if thieves had obtained any valuable military information, as- suming they were enemy agents, as the communication to Admiral Fletcher was personal and confi- dential but not of great military import
 Magnuson has wired to Washing ton for reissue of the papers, has restocked his wardrobe, also stolen and will resume his trip north with in couple of days.

 Neighbors responding to their screams were unable to effect res cue. Thick smoke filled the house and Sanders who had tried to res cue David, was found unconscious on the floor of the smoke filled room by Fireman Postmaster Hollis Henrichs.

 Sanders had second degree burns on his face, arm and hand. He ap- parently lifted his mask for vision and was overcome.
 Mrs. Arvidson's daughter Rose mary, IS, went down town only a half hour before the alarm.

paramushiro Raids
 Are Called Tokyo
 Express" by Pliers
BY NORMAN BELL
Associated Press War Corresponds

Associated Press War Correspondent
 AN ALEUTIAN BASE, Jan. 23- (Delaye6 Navy fliers described their latest exploits as the Para mushiro Express, Empire Express or Tokyo Shortline," referring to the fact that raids down the Kur- ile Islands toward Tokyo were &C., complished with express schedule.
 Commodore Leslie Gehres, con- manding the Fleet Air Force, was able to report to Vice Admiral Fletcher that the repeated missions over Paramushiro for several nights running were made without the loss of plane.
 I rode in one, thus becoming the first war correspondent to fly over Jap home territory. The young tli- CTS, only one over 30. accomplished the bombings of Paramushiro's southern tip right on time. Other missions were in the main equally successful.
 Gehres said the raids struck Paramushiro installations on Thurs day, Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. The extent of the dam age and other tactical details of the raids were undisclosed, but the wing commander said the fliers had ap- parently taken to heart the advice to get familiar with Japan's north ern door, because we'll probably have to go over and take it some day"
 Gehres new successes came just after he received the Legion of Merit for his services as Patrol Wing and Fleet Air Wing Comman- der.

| Peaceful England
Welcome Sight After
Tour Of Normandy
by WALTER McCALLUM,
Star staff Correspondent.

LONDON.--I got the most tre-
mendous spiritual lift when the
airplane new over the coast line
Of England, not far from the white
cliffs Of Dover.
Here" I thought, "is a land Of
peace and beauty. Here people live
more or less nearly normal lives.
Here are no sheu-torn cities. no
civilians living in terror Of their
lives, no rubble, no dead lying in
bitches. Here is land Of peace and
calm and beauty. It Is like leaving
behind the vision of hell on earth,
and entering an earthly kind of
heaven"
Long before, the general had
asked me to write a combat history
of the division, and had arranged
the details.
Difficult 10 Describe.
1t isn't easy to describe the
sensations of a correspondent re-
turning from the bloody battle
fields of France, seeing, for the first
time in six weeks. cities with intact
walls and roofs, of seeing people
normally going about their daily
affairs, and of the little things that
go into the life of every human
being away from a war theater.
MY own emotions still are too
mixed up to describe them, but the
spiritual lift got when the plane
crossed the English coast and saw
below the green fields of South
England, cattle grazing in them

without fear Of bullets or mines,
never will be forgotten.
It wasn't completely true, the
feeling Of peace and quiet. England
Is under daily bombardment from
flying bombs. Thousands of persons
have left London, and more are
leaving daily. The robots come over,
several score OF them day,
launched from platforms in France,
flying at medium height and fast.
Can See Them Plainly.
You can see. them plainly in bright
daylight. and at night they are a
ball of fire. They sound like out
board motors, running fast and
pushing heavy load. Their motors
cut out and within q few seconds
comes the burst of the bomb. It
must be fairly heavy, and the
bombs indiscriminate dropping, al
most everywhere, makes them more
terrorizing.
In the old days, when London was
being visited by German bombers al
most nightly. you felt differently
about 1t. Up there, thousands of
feet high, were men in airplanes,
taking chances on their own lives,
risking the ack-ack barrage, but still
dropping bombs.
This thing is different. It is in
human, mechanical and frightening
Some people in London say it is
worse than the great blitz Of 1940-
Al. Others say it doesn't compare
with the days and nights when the
rain of bombs fell on London with
out let up. But 1t is deadly none
theless, terrorizing and horrible.
Take No Chances.
1t is mechanical warfare carried
to the ultimate degree. The buzz
bombs really are robots, directed
by men who themselves take no
chances. saw the launching plat
forms in France, but then I had no
real idea what the things could do.
I talked with an Raj pilot about
them. They fly at medium height
and at tremendous speed" he said
The worst part of it is that If the
pilots shoot them down over popu-
lated areas they do not always ex-
plode in midair, but can fall. with
their deadly bomb load, on houses
and people below.
People are not sleeping In top
floor rooms any more AS in the
great blitz they take to the cellars
to sleep. 1t has caused a revolu-
tionary change in the living habits
Of people in England.
Not Impressed at First.
After living in a war zone for 10
long. under constant threat OF
shelling and rife and mortar fire.
I counldn't be too impressed by the
buzz bomb, and said 50. / had
seen too many cities torn apart by
shellfire, too many wrecks of humans
to be impressed by a robot bomb
1t didn't diminish the spiritual lift
1 got when I crossed TO England
Such things happen to human
beings only a few times in a life
time.
But England still is peaceful. !
went to the officers club for lunch
There was hot food. served In
dishes and a tablecloth. I hadn't
slept in bed for weeks. My clothes
hadn't been off, day or night, for
the first 10 days after D-day.
And YOU get tired Of Juggling a
gas mask around. and seeing cities
torn apart You long for peace and
the feel of clean sheets and food
served from other than an alum
mum canteen. The lift may not
have been only spiritual. Peace
will be wonderful when it comes,
and the world can be normal again.

Made In Labor
Hearing

On Wednesday hearing sche-
duled here before representatives
of the National Labor Relations
Board, in which the w. M. Ritter
Lumber Co., was charged with
certain violations of the fair la
Dor practices, was compromised
by attorneys.
It is reported that seven en-
ployees of the w. NJ. Ritter CO.
were discharged several months
ago for union activities. Under
the reported compromise. all of
these employees agreed to accept
a certain lump sum for time lost
from work since their discharge
with the privilege of returning
to work. However, it is not yet
known whether these men will
return to work since they are
now employed elsewhere.
This hearing drew sharp con-
trast to the hearing held here last
year in which the CGnchfield
Coal Corp. was on the carpet for
alleged similar activities. Several
weeks were consumed in taking
testimony in which the coal com
pany was involved. The National
Labor Relations Board gave a
verdict in favor of the discharg-
ed employees. The Clinchfield ap
pe.aled its case to the Federal
Court of Appeals and decision
has not yet been handed down.

SEAL SALES DRIVE NEAR
QUOTA SET FOR COUNTY

The sale of Tuberculosis Seals
in Dickinson County is ahead OF
last years sales, but the county's
quota this year is approximately
one hundred dollars more than
last years quota. To date about
$50 dollars is needed to reach the
quota of 1896.
All districts reporting to date
have exceeded I last years sales
with the possible exception OF
Kenady District. AT Clinchco a
total of 1912 was raised with
Mrs. Carl Kilgore in charge.
Haysi, with Mrs. Ireland Baker
as chairman, exceeded last years
results with a total of SIP. At
Clintwood, Mrs. James M. Skeen
reports that 1927 has been receiv
ed. Of this amount a great deal
has been received from teachers
at various points throughout the
county.
The Ervinton district, with
Mrs. Margaret Binns in charge,
has not yet reported its results
of the recent campaign. However
a good report is expected.
Unlike most national organiza-
tons of this type the Tuberculo-
sis Association leaves with the
local chapter about 80 per cent of
the funds raised to help in the
treatment of charity cases, Thru
the efforts of the local chapter
many persons have been restored
to health at Catawba Sanatorium
and are now leading normal lives.
