 A Russian note to Belgrade at the weekend threatened to take effective measures" to protect Soviet citizens in Yugoslavia. Re plying, the Yugoslav communist newspaper Borba accused the Kremlin of using those citizens as spies.
 British newspapers quickly noted the similarity between the stern tone of the Soviet note and the language used by Hitler before he sent the German army into action a decad eago. They said the Rus sian note sounded like the worst threat of war since 1929. Titoism now has taken root in Germany. German communists who hate Russia formed a new splinter party today and promptly sent the Yugoslav leader a mes sage of support.
 The new organization described itself as free communist party" Ii claimed 1000 active members in the Russian zone of Germany and another 500 in the western sectors of Berlin.
 Karl-Heinz Scholz, veteran Ger man communist underg u n q campaigner, told a reporter in Berlin:
 We have formed to fight inn perialiSt BolShevism. The so-call- ed internationalism of Soviet Rus sia is fraud. We reject any plans for a dictatorship over the peO- ple."
 The communist strike offensive against the Finnish government lost momentum. Workers appar- ently remained deaf to Red pleas for further WalkoutS. Strikers in many industries were reported streaming back to work. These in- cluded bakers, brewery workers, dock workers and lumberjacks.
 Across the world, the Chilean government announced it had broken an attempted communist revolt based on a general strike. Troops evicted more than 1000 tired and hungry sit-down strik- CTS from the Lota coal mine last night and arrested 35 communist leaders accused of fomenting the trouble.
 Officials quoted the miners as saying communist SpokeSmen had convinced them the government had fallen, that a general strike had crippled Chile and that a rev. olution had broken out in Santi- 4loo

of my friends think 1t is foolish.
Others think it is good idea as
long as my maid could look after
my home and children. What do
you think of women being in pub

Answer: No reason in the world
why a woman should not hold a
public Office if the position she
seeks is one that she is fitted to
fill and she can get elected to it..
But the way to any public office
Is a thorny one to tread and one

Honoring the completion of fifty

in Baltimore tomorrow. H. o. Ham
rick, GEES Hagerstown representa-
tive, will be among the many guests

The history of Mr.. Wilson's con-
nection with the Company is quite
interesting. Born on November 10,
1886, on New York's lower West Side,
Mr. Wilson left school when he was
twelve years of age in order to help
support his widowed mother. Start
ing with the position of Office boy
with the Sprague Electric Company,
New York City, one of the organ
izations that later went to make up
General Electric, Mr. Wilson moved
slowly but steadily up the ladder in
the plant itself, finally becoming
factory superintendent.
In 1923 he was named managing
engineer in charge of the Company's
wire and conduit business at Bridge
port, Conn, and in 1887 he was
named executive vice-president,
moving his headquarters from Con-
necticut to New York. He was elect
ed president in 1899 and served in
that capacity until September 1912,
when he resigned in order to be-
come vice-chairman of the War Pro-
duction Board during the war years.
He resigned from the WPB in August
1914 and was reelected president of
General Electric in September of
the same year.
