L) told Defense Coun- cil members. In addition, A. F. L. locals have pledged more than $53,000 toward a civilian defense fund.

Last of "Honest Bandits" In Corsica Dies at 75 By the Associated Press. | VICHY, Unoccupied France, Jan. 30.—Death - of Felix Michaehi, de- scribed as the last of the famed “honest bandits” of Corsica, a Robin Hood of France's Mediterranean is- land, was reported yesterday in dis- pa!ches from Bastia, Corsica. “Little Felix,” aged 75, died in bed in his native village on the east coast between Portovecchio and Bastia. He had retired some 15 years ago after a career which had made him an lIsland-wide popular figure. He was renowned for his patriot- {sm and his obituaries record that in 1914, when the French Army re-| fused to take him because of his record as a bandit, he spent several | months hunting down Corsican de- | serters and turning them over to military police. Later he disguised himself and got into the Foreign Legion in North Africa, where he served until wounded and recognized in a hospital. Discharged from the army, We returned to Corsica to resume his career as a beneficent bandit combined with a business in timber. The timber business flourished and Felix became less and less a bandit and more & solid man of business. His fame was such that peasants took many disputes to him instead of the regular courts and “justice of the peace” was one of his nick- names. Republican Serves As Democrats’ Secrefary By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, Jan. 30.—A mis- | understanding among the Democrats gave them a Republican as secretary. Robert H.

Finally, to get the meet- ing started, Claude Forbes, a re- porter, volunteered: “I'm a Republ\can but I'll take your minutes.” He got the job, pro-tem—and the | Joudest applause of the evening.
