Asgenbrenner Charles Wagner Mrs, T. F. Malone Katherine Thompson Evelyn Nevins Pennsylvania’s Representative Hugh D. Scott offers a sound plan for the American celebration of victories.

Bartlett, famous Arctic explorer, who had been com- missioned by the Geographical Society to gather data in the Far North in preparation for future aerial explorations, arrived in Seattle to sail on the cutter Bear for the North. Bartlett was expected to map the foute for the dirigible Shenandoah on its flight the following year across the Polar region. A contribution of $100 to the local Community Chest Fund had been received by the committee in charge of that drive from the Pacific American Fisheries, according to a statement this day. It was made through H. L. Faulkner, local counsel for the company. Mrs. A. Zenger and two children, who had been in Seattle for several A. J.

Crowley dropped in on Cordell Hull the other day and said in effect: “With a second front com- ing and thousands of boys ready to give their all, we have got to pull together to plug every possible leak by which Hitler’s airplane industry survives. Sweden is the worst leak.” Secretary Hull agreed and has been pulling with Crowley ever since. Result is that Sweden will be asked to place a complete em- bargo on ballbearings. If she de- clines, the United States intends to freeze SKF funds in the U.S.A.," black-list the SKF company and as @ last resort, cut off all exports of essential war materials to Swe- den. g I Marshal Stalin went out of his way to sell Roosevelt and Churchill on deserting Mikhailoviteh. Nevertheless, the diplomatic grapevine reports that Mikhailo- vitch is now wooing the Russians, partly because he is irate with the Allies over the U. S. bombing of Belgrade on Easter Sunday. The Jugoslavs claim that Belgrade is defenseless, is not a fortified area and that the Germans had not let them dig bomb shelters. As a re- sult, they claim that 20,000 people were killed. So Mikhailovitch is boiling mad at the U.S.A. ' The fact that Russia seems to be the best bet to dominate the Bal- kans also may have something to do with Mikhailovitch’s right- about-face. He may want to be with the winner. At any rate, he is |at 7:45 o'clock in St. Ann's Hos- | pital.
