Mrs. Jennie Samuels passed
away at Everett, Wash, on Aug.
10. Her funeral rites we're held
in the chapel of Chaliacombe and
Fickel Funeral Co. The Rev. Har-
ris of Seattle OBLIGATED. His text
was from the 4th verse of the
% Psalm, Though l walk thru
the Valley of the Shadow of
Death l will fear no evil for Thou
art with me-.
Music was contributed by Lois

Evergreen Cemetery, Everett.
Mrs. Samuels was called in the
sunset of life after a beautiful So
journ on this plane. She had lived
in the state of Washington for
more than fifty years coming d.
rectly from the state of Illinois.
Mrs. Samuels at once entered
into the social, civic, and religious
activities of her community.
Mrs. Samuels was one of the
founders of the Mamie Borroughs
Study Club which was a charter
member Of the State Federation.
Che was elected the second and
sixth president of the Federation
serving in all, eight years. Mrs.
Samuels was also elected to the
presidency of the N. w. Regional
at the Biennial meeting of the
N. A. G. w. in Oakland, Calf.
With the cooperation of the Fede-
rated Women, Mrs. Samuels es-
tablished the Loan Scholarship
Fund for the youth.
Mrs. Samuels commanded the
affection and respect of all who
knew her. And at this time the
Federation expresses its sincere
sorrow at her loss and offers
sympathy to her bereaved husband,
son and relatives, but can only
bow to the will of Controlling
Power.

The complaint, filed in
former Langston University teach
er, seeks a preliminary injunction
against the university's continued
rejection of qualified Negro appli-
cants. Mr.. McLaurin, it points
out, is admittedly qualified in all
respects and is denied admission
solely because of race and color
in conformity with the laws of
Oklahoma and the rules of the
university's board of regents. The
complaint further alleges that en-
forcement of these statutes and
rules have denied the applicant
his rights guaranteed under the
Constitution and laws of the
United States.

ular meals and are never actually
hungry. But down here the fish
are hungry around the clock and
seem to prefer victuals which con-
tain a hook.
I have been here two days, and
liz I keep catching fish at the rate
II am going, I'll have to mortgage
my home and car to get enough
money to buy 200 or 800 deep freeze
units. There is no exaggeration
about this. This morning, between
8 and 9:15-a total of IS minutes
I caught 72 Spanish mackerel. And
all of them from dock two minutes
walk from the little lodge where I
am staying. With fish costing what
they do, I don't believe I can af-
ford to leave.
Variety Is Great.
II you don't like mackerel-and
lit is hard to imagine any one who
doesn't like a broiled one, with
lemon butter sauce-you can catch
pompano, red snapper, red fish,
snook, tarpon, shark, and almost
anything else that wears scales for
clothes. And, If none of these are
to your liking, and turtle is your
dish, a few hours work at night
will get you q turtle weighing any,
where from 200 to 400 pounds, and
about as big as . living room rug.
Yesterday q fisherman came down
from Boston. He had caught just
about everything that swims, but for
some reason never had brought IN a
tarpon. So, sitting at breakfast In
Boston, he decided to catch himself
tarpon. At nine he was airbound
for Marco Island. The same night
the fishing is as good If not better
at night than during the day-he
caught four. I am not at all sure
that he will ever get back to Boston.
He called his wife and said he would
try to make it by Christmas but
couldn't be positive.
Marco Island is q little place. It
doesn't even show up as dot on
the map. The population is no more
than 500, II that, and Of the 500 q
good 475 are dependent, in one way
or another, on fish for a living.
There is nothing fancy about the
place. Any one who shaves is looked
on as something Of q sissy, and
to wear shoes is to be considered
slightly high hat by the natives.
If you don't sunburn easily, all you

is a pair Of shorts and a couple OF
pair Of bathing trunks.
There are two places to stay on
Marco-the Inn and the Lodge. The
Inn is bit ritzy. 1t frowns on bare
feet in the living room, and some
who stay there even wear ties in
the evening. The Lodge is big,
rambling house with a wing here
and wing there, and it looks as if
it hadn't been painted since the
time of Osceola and the Seminoles.
Some of the guests eat in the

Soviet Report That Britain Offered
To Sell Out to Hitler in '39 Called Lie

On July 7, Mussolini told the
British ambassador that If Britain
should fight for Poland, Italy would
take up arms for Germany.
On July A. Mr.. Churchill visited
the Rhine front and found both
sides preparing for war.
On August 4, the German ambas-
sador telegraphed Berlin that he
feared Russia might sign with
Britain and France.
But on August 10, Prime Minister
Stain informed the Politburo he
would sign with Germany.
Pact Signed on August a.
On August "a, Joachim Won Rib
bentrop met Mr.. Stain and made a
pact and a secret agreement, Ger
many declaring her disinterest In
Estonia, Latvia and Finland, but
claiming Lithuania as her sphere. A
line of demarcation was drawn for
the division of Poland.
On August Is, Britain formally
proclaimed her treaty with Poland
and Mr.. Chamberlain wrote Hitler,
warning him against assuming that
the Russo German pact should en-
courage the belief that Great
Britain would not intervene on be-
half of Poland. mo greater mis-
take could be made
The history shows decisively that
Russia approached Germany in
April and that Germany decided to
accept the overture at the end Of
May, after Hitler had reported to
his general staff that there was no
hope of concessions from Britain.
But the Soviets, like Hitler, think
the most brazen lies will be be-
lieved If repeated often enough.

United States 1t did not matter
what other opinions he holds. More
over, the members were cautioned
that any unpleasantness IN the
hearings was likely to stir unpleas-
ant repercussions from one OF our
great allies. Pressing the matter,
It was said, would interfere with the
conduct Of the war.
Among the witnesses appearing
before the Senate Judiciary Sub
committee last week was 8. g.
Wuchinich, secretary general OF the
American.Slav Congress, which has
been designated Is q subversive or
ganization by the Justice Depart
ment.
Influenced u. 8. Decision.
The case of Mr.. Wuchinich Is in
teresting. During the war he was a
captain in the Army and held a
highly confidential post In the
once of Strategic Services. He was
in charge of evaluating intelligence
from Yugoslavia before the United
States and Great Britain decided to
support Moscew's puppet-Marshal
Tito-against the recognized leader
of the Yugoslav guerrillas-Gen'
Draja Mihailovich.
In the light of testimony before
the Senate subcommittee last Fri
day it is apparent why, in evaluating
Gen. Mihailovitch's activities, he re-
garded him as a pro-Nazi ana de-
scribed Marshal Tito as true demo-
crat who was fighting the Allies
battle in Yugoslavia.
MIR. Wuchinich later was sent to
Marshal Tito's headquarters and
his flamboyant reports on the mar
yels of that handful of fighters for
democracy, led by Tito, contributed
greatly to our decision to throw
Gen. Mihailovitch overheard and
support the man who today is con-
sidered as the Kremlin's chief agent
in the Balkans.
The statements by American Com
munists last week proved beyond any
doubt that although the overwhelm-
ing majority of the Communist
PARTY technically may be American
citizens, they are, in fact, even more
loyally attached to the Moscow gov
ernment than are many Soviet citi-
zens.
If q crisis should develop between
Russia and the United States, these
people will be on Russia's side and
will act in accordance with orders
the Soviet general staff sends them.

The documents purport to show
that the German ambassador to
London was informed in 1899 that
the British would scrap their
guarantees to Poland and other
nations If a British German treaty
was achieved"
The Associated Press report from
Moscow does not state who ap-
preached whom, according to these
purported documents, nor what the
British conditions for treaty were.
There were attempts on the part
of a representative of at least one
neutral to get the British and
Germans together via Goering IN
June, 1889.
But a condition of the British
was that the Germans evacuate all
Czechoslovakia except the Sudeten.
This was rejected. That Britain
ever offered Hitler free hand In
Europe beyond the terms OF Munich
is absolutely denied. by the cap
tured documents Of the German
Foreign Once, the testimony IN the
Nuremberg trials and the chronology
Of events. -
Russia Played Both Sides
Mr.. Churchill, in 1899, was the
leading critic Of the Chamberlain
policy. He fulminated then, in the
House OF Commons, and he reaf-
firms his conviction in his memoirs,
that Chamberlain fumbled the pos
sibility Of q Russo-British-French
alliance when the Russians proposed
it on April 16, 1899.
But the secret German documents
prove that simultaneously with Rus
sia's approach to Britain, she was
approaching Germany, playing one
against the other. Thus, on April
IN, the Russian ambassador to Ber-
lin called at the German Foreign
once and asserted that theological
differences had hardly Influenced

On May 8 Maxim Litvinov-pro-
western and, as q Jew, impossible
for conducting German negotiations
was replaced by Vyacheslav Molo-
tov, and his replacement was noted
in full significance in Berlin.
BY May 23, Hitler had definitely
