M0L0T0v MAY BE. IN CHARGE, RUSS
 POLICIES IN ORIENT

WASHINGTON, June 8. -tR- American officials said today it is entirely likely Deputy Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov may now be in charge of Russian policies in China and elsewhere in the Orient.
 Such move to exploit the Com munist advance in China has taeen looked for by diplomats ever since Molotov was transferred months ago from Foreign Minister to un- disclosed new responsibilities.
 If he has been given the assign ment-as reported from Paris-it will be taken as fresh and signifi- cant evidence that Russia is shift ing interest from the Western European stalenate to the Far East. Definite confirmation is still lacking
 A forecast that Russia soon will change it's polioe' of diplomatic alcofness toward the victorious Chinese Communists also came yesterday from Paris. It was ascribed to responsible but anonymous Eastern European in- fcrmant.
 State Department experts are watching for any signs of such a change but are not yet convinced it is imminent.

BIG BRIDGE TOWER GOES
 up, FLAMES

TACOMA, Wash, June 8-tRl-A spectacular fire caused possible $4C0,C00 or more darhage early to- day to the 5O2-foot tower of the bridge of jinxes.'
 Flames, fed by oil, gasoline and tim5ers. turned the nearly con- pieted west tower of the Inflated Tacoma Narrows suspension tridge irto gigantic steel-framed torch.
 It was the third blow of the ele- ments at the Narrows span The original bridge, with a half mile long center suspension plan, col lapsed in gale in 1940. Ther the recent earthquake shook a giant steel saddle from atop tower.
 Engineers expressed belief that a short circuit on the pier at the towers base may have started the destructive blaze shortly before midnight.
 The fire may cause several months delay in finishing the $13.- 0o0,0O0 bridge. engineers said.

 ported to display new dramatic
 capabilities which may have beer
 ohscured by her sarong-wearine roles of the past.
 Montgomery has one of the best
 roles of his career as rising young
 awyer who throws over everything I his mad infatuation for Lull
 Belle Lulu Belle's suitors range from prizefighters to US. Am. tassador and include Albert Dek. ker as a gambler; Otto Kruger a: a railroad magnate and ambas. sadcr and Greg Mcclure as two listed boxer whose knees buckle al

The weather caused big trouble
this week. Wednesday our below
zero broke and Thursday it rained
and that afternoon the slides be-
gan. The highway closed with
slides just beyond the goat lick.

one at Devils creek. To date IA
slides have crossed the highway
from Essex to the Snow Slip
since January. The railroad had
number of slides but was able to
Keep open by working three snow
plows night and day. Highway
travellers were stranded at the
Walton hotel until Saturday when
the crews succeeded in opening the
road. Thursday afternoon at 400
p. m. a regular old time blizzard
began and continued until after
so all hands worked next
