JAPAN FRANCE, REPOF DIMOND WARNS OF SUBVERSIVE FORCES AT WORK Delegate Hits at “Isms” in Forceful Independence | Day Address Here Before a crowd that filled the new grandstand at Firemen’s Recrea- tion Park to capacity at its Fourth| of July dedication and overflowed cnto the field, Anthony J. Dimond, | Alaska Delegate to Congress, on his| home-coming to the Territory, yes- terday warned against the un- American theories of Fascism and Communism and declared the price of freedom and justice as expound- ed by the founding fathers in 1776 is eternal vigilance. PRINCE RUPERT ' GAB DRIVER IS | SHOT TO DEATH Killer, Believ—eJ, Deranged, Dies in Gunfight with Police BULLETIN — PRINCE RU- PERT, July 5.-eSergeant Gib- son died this afternoon from his wounds. PRINCE RUPERT, BC. July 5. —Mike Gurvich, taxicab driver, was shot to death today by a detail of British Columbia police after Gur- vich had shot and killed Inspector W. J. Service and critically wound- ed Sergeant Robert Gibson in northern British Columbia, “It is not enough to establish po- litical freedom but we must have economic freedom and economic se- | curity,” he declared. “We cannot| be blessed with peace unless we| render justice to all.” | The Delegate struck outsat the| forces “working from within nnd“ without” and referred to them as| Fascism, Nazism and Communism. Describing these theories the re- sult of an “enslaved mentality,” he| warned their aim was the totalitar- ian state which would wreck the| principles of freedom and justice| as known in America. Whether it| is the black or the red flag, he de- clared, such theories lead only to “tyranny and oppression,” and if the people fail to maintain a con-| stant vigilance of the principles of | freedom on which the nation was founded dictatorship and a totali- tarian state can result. Freedom can not be maintained mainhtained for 162 years by battle, he pointed out, and can be Jasting only by eternal combat against the forces which would tear it down. Preceding the Delegate, Eckley Inspector Service, commander of the Provincial Police offices, served a summons on Gurvich earlier in ithe day on a charge of trespassing on the Canadian National pier. Gurvich resisted arrest and fired on Service and Gibson, killing Ser- vice instantly, then ran to his taxi, and drove to the Royal Hotel beer parlor. Constables Clark, Raybone, and 8f:wart cornered Gurvich in the beer parlor. Gurvich fired a shot at Clark and missed. The officers re- turned the fire and killed him. Gurvich was said to be a former inmate of the mental hospital at Essondale, British Columbia. MESSENGER PARTY RETURNS FROM WEEK-END CRUISE | Pastor H. L.
