School children will throw down
their books for a circus holiday
next Tuesday when the Downie
Brothers Circus comes to town
for the big three-ring show of the
year.
School officials still believe in
the circus as an educational fea-
ture, they said as they announced
the half-holiday. The circus will
make a special matinee rate to
students and school officials will
issue special identification tickets
that will admit the 'boys and girls
at reduced rate.
Since the recent closing of the
Ringling show, the Downie Bros.
Circus has been proclaimed to
be the largest circus now on tour,
and is positively the only big
circus to visit this section of the
state this season. Two hundred
acts are shown at each perform-
ance, with the world’s greatest
aerielists, acrobats, wire-walkers,
wild animal trainer, bare-back
riding stars, clowns and other
circus features.
Eight hundred people and 1,000
animals, including three herds of
ponderous, performing elephants,

Europe this year. Pumpkin heads will find the going more

Upon the official, and final ans-
wer to that question possibly de-
pends the legal status of Russia's
professed "neutrality," a test of
the Berlin-Moscow axis, and the
U. S. attitude toward both Ger-
many and Russia.
Official and unofficial reports
from abroad were vague, and in
some intsances, conflicting, and
the Department awaited official
clarification of the ship's exact
status before taking further ac-
tion.
Mr Roosevelt said at his press
conference today that thus far he
had not received sufficient, in
formation to make any state-
ment about the City of Flint. A
reporter asked why the ambassa-
dor to Moscow apparently had
encountered difficulties obtain-
ing factua! information on the
situation. The Presider reminded
him that Murmansk, the Soviet
port where the vessel was taken
by the German prize crew, is re-
mote.
The United States made a
formal demand on Russia yester-
day for unequivocal release of the
Flint and its cargo to its Ameri-
can crew. Earlier, the state de-
partment had been assured by
Russian official quarters that the
41-man crew was safe at. Mur-
mansk. -
Release of the vessel to the.
German crew would flout major
principles of the legal arguments
on which, Secretary of State Hull
said, the U. S. based its represen-
tations to Russia.
OVERTON. — Rev. Herman T.
Morgan, chairman of the Boy
Scout finance committee, said to-
day that $362 has been raised in
the annual drive for funds here.
He added that some firms have
not been contacted, and that a
larger amount is expected to be
raised within the next few days.
Team captains working the
driva are George C. Walters,
George Pearson, John Shaw, and
L. C. Hancock. They are assisted
by Rev. W. F. Thresto O. L. Jacobs,
I H. G. Newcomb, W. G. Oliver,
D. L. Keoun, W. B. Brandon,
and Mesdames Jimmie Owen and
A. B. Geren.
The mone is being raised as a
part of the drive over the entire
East Texas council, which includes
16 counties.
There was a word for Germany
also in the Pope’s reference to
Poland—"Our dear Poland, which
on account of its fidelity to the
church lias a right to the gener-
ous, .brotherly sympathy of the
whole world while it awaits the
hour of resurrection in harmony
with the principles of justice and
true peace."
The. Pope said that he, in the
fulfillment of his apostolic duty,
would not let himself be influenc-
ed “by earthly considerations, nor
hed back by mistrust, opposition
or rebuffs, nor by lack of appre-
ciation nor fear of misinterpre-
tation.” .

TOKYO. (UP) — Foreign Minis-

warned his cabinet colleagues to-
day that the United States prob-
ably would reject Japanese, conten-
tentions regarding the. Japanese
campaign in China and that there
was little prospect of a new Japa-
nese-American commercial pact.
Nomura is about to start con-
versations with American Ambas-
sador Joseph C. Grew in an at-
tempt. to adjust Japanese-Ameri-
can relations and to conclude ar-
I rangements for continuing the
Japanese-American trade treaty
denounced several months ago by
the United States. The pact will
die at the end of this year.

The Senate refused, 43 to 50, to

Mr. Roosevelt charged orators
and commentators, "in snd out of
Congress," have deliberately set
up "an Imaginary bogey man"
concerning the sending of Ameri-

fields and labelled this campaign
"a shameless and dishonest fake.”
The fact is, he said, that no U. 8.
public official has ever suggested
“the remote possibility" of send-
ing American troops to Europe.

LONDON. (UP) - Approxi-
mately 50 bodies were landed to-
day from a German submarine
which grounded on the dangerous
Goodwin sands off the Kent coast.
It was believed that the sub-
marine might have been disabled
by British gun fire several days
ago, and then drifted onto the
sands.
Bodies of the men aboard were
taken to Dover.
Fishermen reported that the
greater part of the submarne’s
conning tower projected above
water at the southwest end of a
sand bank.
As soon as it was sighted div-
ers and salvage apparatus were
sent out in hope that some at
least of the crew could be res-
cued.
The fishermen recalled that gun
fire was heard Wednesday morn-
ing, They pointed out that the
strong currents in those waters
a might have taken a disabled sub-
® marine on to the Goodwins. '
The report that 50 bodies had
been taken from the grounded
submarine indicated that one of
Germany’s larger U-boats—per-
haps larger than any listed in the
German navy in authoritative
publications had been the victim.

Palmer said that the Kraft
company already has the pro-
ducts sold and do not have to
create a market demand. The in-
crease of use of milk in various
kinds of products will always in-
crease the demand, therefore there
is nothing to fear about the plant
folding up as long as the milk
supply holds up, he stated.
“If Henderson people don't take
advantage of the plant,” Palmer
said, “neighboring towns where
plants are now located will soon
begin sending trucks into this ter-
ritory."
Palmer said he would attend
the official opening of the Kraft-
Phenix cheese plant in Athens to-
day. Another plant will be opened
in Rusk soon.
