Susannah Barr was the wife of

She was thirty-four years of age

one of the first to be buried in

Finnish Commies
Make Surprising
Election Coins


The Communist Party chalked
up surprising gains in Finland's
weekend local elections, prelimin-
airy figures in HeIsinli showed.
The Reds and the Liberals were
the only parties to better their
1947 showing in the capitals mu-
nicipal balloting. Other parties
lost ground. Reports from provin-
cial towns exhibited similar trends.
Communist advances in Helsinki,
which astounded political circles
there, were almost 1000 votes.
Heaviest losers on the basis of
preliminary tabulations were the
Conservatives, who dropped more
than 5000 votes.
With $4,000 workers on strike,
the victory is likely to be regarded
as support for Leftist attacks on
the middle-of-t h e-road Finnish
government.
Together, two Leftist parties =
the Social Democrats and the
Communists - had polled 547,729
votes against 510,816 for the Con-
sentative and Liberal parties.

thoughtful enough, though to have
bought their salmon from the fish
market. You can never tell. The
way it turned out now those ladies
should be complimented for their
foresight. Well, the boys had
most delicious salmon breakfast
anyway, thanks to the ladies.
I confess, I don't know much
about salmon fishing, but what is
the matter with the fisk? Isn't the
bait we give them good enough,
or don't they like the smell of the
pulp mills? Or could it, by any
chance, be: At last years Viking
derby Eric Thulin, the Grand
Lodge Secretary from Chicago
participated. Charlie Dahlgren Of
fered his luxurious cabin cruiser
to Thulin, for him to use. Dahl
gren himself took personal COM
mand and Gus Benson and Arthur
Johnson from Portland took turns
preparing the katie kasks"
aboard. To make things still more
attractive for Thulin, offered him
the use of my treasured derby
hat. Well, Thulin accepted all this.
He sat on the HURRICANE" deck
with his great big fishing rod and
caught a tiny little dog shark. He
gave it to me. The rest of the crew
caught not as much as a cold. So
the fish should have no kick COM
ing, as far as Thulin is concerned,
trying to catch them. The dog
shark clan is not recognized by
our aristocratic King and Silver
salmon as being one of . their
equals, anyway.
But :. there is always a but"
Ihulin sat there with my derby
hat on his dome. Perhaps some
King of Silver just then took a
Sunday morning stroll, looked up
and saw him and sensed a derby
going on, took his Mats out of
school, (school of fish and moved
to some more pacific oceans than
the Pacific Ocean.
I feel guilty for lending Thulin
my derby, and hope he feels
equally guilty for soaring our fish
away. But he being the Grand
Lodge secretary and in charge of
all the know how" should've
known better. But, no use spill
over cried milk.
And all You Viking brothers in
the East! We have been getting
orders from You for our famous
Puget Sound salmon to be shipped
to salmon lovers all over the coun-
try. We are very, very sorry to
disappoint You, and it becomes my
painful duty to notify you, that
we are unable to fill Your orders
at this time.
Regretfully yours,

The Old Gray Mare amt what
she used to be. Fishing in Elicit
Bay is not what it used to be, Ell
Their. The Seattle Vikings (SkOld
Lodge No. SO, I. o. W. started
few years ago to have a fishing
derby some Sunday morning in the
month of September. They would
always bring in a large salmon for
each boat, sometimes more. Last
year was not so extra good, and
this years derby was a flop.
Being the runic scribe of the
lodge it's up to me to let the cat
out of the bag. In so doing I bow
my head in shame, for my report
is very poor.
I am no fisherman. I haven't
held a fishing rod since I was
kid, no kidding. But used to
meet the fishermen at the boat
house, when they returned with the
big catch. This years derby was
no exception. 1 was there when
the boats came rolling in, not over
the waves but over the docks
planking. 1 always take great
care to dress properly for each oc-
casion. At derbies l wear a derby
hat. 1 also had large writing
pad and pen in my hand and. g.
1 had a premonition that it would
be needed, so I brought magni-
flying glass.
Another organization in Seattle
just had a derby also. Some hun
dred participants and 35 valuable
prizes. The catch was 8 fish, so
the other 80 prizes were drawn
for.
Well, the Vikings did none the
worse. The catch was also 3 sal
mons But here's where my mag
nifying glass came in handy. They
were very small. The chieftain
himself, Charles I, caught the big

Lars Boyd with one weighing LOT
and Gus Benson Bird with one still
smaller. Prizes $500 and $500.
Carl Gustafson thought there
would be a BOBBY prize also, SO
he grabbed something that looked
like an anchovie and chiseled in
on this picture, minus prize.
This picture was taken by Chas.
o. Gustafson before the morning
fog had lifted and therefore not
very clear. But perhaps, with
lively imagination, you are able to
recognize the winners, Charlie,

Intelligence Failed

Johnson Reveals
Service Has Received
Shokeup; Secretary
Sees War Until March
By John A. Giles

Defense Secretary johnson has
disclosed that no special intelli-
gence report warned of a Red
military buildup prior to invasion
Of South Korea. He also ex-
pressed the "hope" that fighting
there win end by next March.
But the Secretary. in testimony
before a House Appropriations
Subcommittee which was released
today, indicated that the Nation S
intelligence services had been
shaken up after the Korean out
break.
II think that we have the right
to expect now that our intelli-
gence is going to be pretty good,'
he declared.
/ The testimony by Mr.. johnson
and other top defense officials
last month was in behalf of Presi-
dent Truman's request for a $10.5
billion supplemental military ap-
preparation.
Repeatedly, the legislators asked
the defense leaders if Mr.. Tru-
mans request was sufficient ano

sented "our best Judgment at the

for more"
Chairman Mahon, Democrat. OF
Texas, asked Secretary Johnson
how much Of the supplemental
money would be needed to fight the
Korean war and how much for
the general expansion of the
armed forces.
Mr.. johnson spoke of various
unknown factors in making such
an estimate. Then he said:
The other imponderable is that

The first big postwar atomic
oven, or reactor-barring what
Russia may have-went into &C

This reactor is designed wholly
for research. It can produce
enough heat to make electric
power for a village of 1000 to

Opening this reactor is one of
the big events in atomic work,
because of the ovens many i'm
