Begley thought a moment,
then shot this question at
the projectionist:
DO YOU own "A gum"
why no, I've never had
one I'm my life"
As he left the theater,
Begley saw his second prize
suspect" evaporate into thin
air.
Perhaps Mrs. West, where
Chloe had boarded, could
furnish some lead on the
girls male friends.
But this motherly lady
told the officer that she
knew Chloe TO be a quiet,
simple girl who had given
out no condolences about
her friends.
AS ne was about to enter
his car a middle-aged
woman stopped him.
You are Sheriff Begley,
aren't yOu?" she said. and
then without waiting for a
reply she hurried on.
II guess you're investi-

Runaway Fox Terrier
Reunited With Gunner
After 8-Day Vacation

NEWARK, N. j., May %. -(R)-
A little thin but happy, Tony was
reunited today with his mistress,
Mrs. Gertrude Vachal, who spent
eight days in a Newark parking
let awaiting the return of the rum
away white fox terrier.
The dog, cherished companion of
Mrs. VachaPs rs year old ailing
father, Edward R. Salisbury of
Ulantic Conn.,, ran away from the
woman's automobile here May 20.
It was feared news he was missing
might have serious affect on the
sick mans condition.
Wandering Tony, fed and bathed
on the sly by firemen of Engine

resented by the company mascot
'Beautie," found Mrs. Vachal

he came pattering down Centre

Mrs. Vachal and Mrs. Arthur

Cruelty to Animals, came to the
fire house when they received
tip that the dog had been seen
in that vicinity.

NAN TERROR HITS
DENMARK, NORWAY.

STOCKHOLM, May 28.-LR)- A
Nazi wave of terror swept Norway
and Denmark today, possibly re-
fleeing German fears that the AL
lies intend to break into Fortress
Europe through Scandinavia.
Reports reaching here sa y 80
Norwegian patriots have been exc
cuted since May l in Nazi-quis-
ling drive to stamp out the under
ground and restless invasion-mind-
ed elements.
Similar oppressive measures
were imposed in Denmark. The
Germans arrested scores of per-
sons and held them hostage under
death sentences in a motive to halt
continuous outbreaks of sabotage.
- German propagandists are sug-
costing that one prong of the inva'
sion probably will be directed at
Denmark shortly, but if it fails to
materialize further landings will
not be attempted until autumn.
Berlin military commentators
cited recent increase in British
fleet activity in waters adjacent
to Jutland as an indication some
thing is to be expected from that
quarter. British task forces also
have made daring forays recently
close to the Norwegian coast.
This is the way the situation
stands in Scandinavia near the end
of this fateful May:

Nays first lAsiatic submarine di-
vision.
Now at SO, he is the youngest
line vice-admiral in the U. S
Navy and commander of the most
effective submarine force in the
nations history.
Strenuous and capable, he
smiles easily, speaks softly. He
likes to think of himself as en-
tirely submarine man. The
Navy considers him also one of
its better diplomats.
Younger officers regard him as
one of their warmest personal
friends. He plays tennis with
them, invites them to dinner at
his home.
He Knows His Men
Adm. Lockwood likes to talk
about his young submarine skip
pers. He knows exactly what each
has done and cites their records
as proof of the wisdom of a policy
of giving young men responsible
commands at the earliest possible
moment. Most of them he calls
by their first names, or nick
names.
Adm. Lockwood learned about

rineS in the Pacific, gunbOatS on

ces Smith Mcneil, retiring presi-

polished up his diplomacy on
| naval missions to Tokyo, Rio de
Janerio and London. In addition,
he had tours of duty in Washing
ton, at the Great Lakes Naval
training station, at the Naval
academy, and on battleships.
He commanded h Southwest
Pacific force of submarines for
nine months in 1912 and 1913, af-
ter his promotion to rear admiral.
He became vice admiral in Oc-
tcber of 1913.
He Married A Navy Girl
He was married in Brazil in
January, 1890, to Miss Phyllis r.
win, whose father, R. Adm. N. E.
Irwin, was in command of a U. S.
naval mission to Brazil. They
have two sons and a daughter.
The family home now is Coronado,
Calf.
Submarines and the men who
operate them are his first interest.
He thinks there are two reasons
for the record set against Japa-
nese shipping.
The first is the quality, training
and youthful initiative of the SUBJ
marine captains and personnel.
Another reason is the under
seas craft itself.
We've got the best damned
submarine in the world" he says
emphatically.

The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-01-17

Clio Pres. Murray has taken vigorous issue with
President Roosevets call for national service legis-
lation But most of the press has reported only this
fact without explaining the stated reasons and
without quoting Murray's positive support of most
of the rest of the Presidents message.
Actually Murray's statement emphasizes CLOS
wholehearted response to the Presidents call for
national unity and relates every issue to the over
riding considerations of our supreme offensive
He welcomes the demand for an end to business
and politics as usual He pledges CLIO support to
the detectives of the Cairo and Teheran conferences
He praises the call to give servcemen the right to
vote.
Murray also notes that the Presidents message
exposes the glaring failure of Congress to combat
imitation. He supports his appeals for a realistic
tax law, for check on profiteering and for real
price control. And he demands fulfllment of the
promise of stabilization violated by letting living
costs soar out of range of frozen wages
With this background and perspective, Murray
assails the "quack medicine" of national service
law inconsistent with the administrations victory
program.
He points out that such legislation would hamper
and confuse rather than aid the war effort and that
1t lodges the real solution for total war mobilization
demanded by the CIO--namely, true central coor-
dnation and planning of all production activities
by the government agencies responsible for war
mobilization
