Judge Maxwell McNutt 25 Rumors of Peace Create Furor British Determined To Fight to End Close Forests To Fireworks Supervisor Asks Cooperation Due to increasing fire danger and an anticipated large number of forest visitors over the Fourth of 5uly and through the summer months, it is necessary to close the Custer National forest to the discharge of any kind of fireworks, W. J. Derrick, forest supervisor, said Thursday. "This closure is immediately effective. The forest service desires to do everything possible to increase public enjoyment of national forests and to keep regulations to a minimum consistent with protecting the public interest.

But this closure is necessary in all the forests of region 1 because of an unusual growth of grass and other vegetation which is becoming dry and inflammable, thereby increasing the fire danger. Even after a rain, dry vegetation will now burn readily with an hour or two of drying sun and wind," he said. "Recreation visitors have nearly doubled within the last five years, which adds to the fire risk, while funds are not sufficient to put on an adequate number of fireguards. The recent outbreak of nearly 200 lightning fires in a 24-hour period is an indicator of how rapidly the forests are drying and what the fire prevention load may be. In fact, the season so far in region 1 is comparable to 1931, 1934 and 1936 which were critical fire years.

So I hope in the face of these facts that the public will cooperate by not taking fireworks into the forests," he said. The regulation closing the national forests to fireworks applies to the northern Rocky mountain region extending from northwestern South Dakota through Montana and northern Idaho to northeastern Washington. The forest service is authorized by the secretary of agriculture to enforce such closures when necessary as a protection to public property. enrs, U. S.

Hall and others in the picture "Kit Carson" were supposed to be near the powder mine when it exploded in front of an early California fort, but apparently the charge was miscalculated. KLEENEX, LARGE BOX 9 "WO ll By DeWITT MacKENZIE Associated Press Staff Writer You probably have heard the rumors which have been going the rounds to the effect that a peace between Britain and Germany is in the making. These have been cropping up in various places. For instance there was the report that Sir Samuel Hoare, British ambassador to Spain, had broached the question of peace through the Spanish government. Thursday morning a Berlin radio commentator said the British were trying to contact the axis powers, presumably- for peace negotiations.

There has been no substantiation of any of these reports, but on the contrary all official statements in London have indicated a determination to continue the fight. Both the stories mentioned above have been categorically denied. Rumors spring from such thin soil that it doesn't take much to get them started. Take the report about Sir Samuel Hoare, while he undoubtedly hasn't made any peace overtures, I should be much surprised if he hadn't been sounding to see what the German temper was. What business could a wartime ambassador possibly have in the capital of an intermediary nation (as is Spain) if it wasn't to keep a finger on the pulse of the enemy to determine how he felt about peace? It is easy to see how such an inquiry might leak out and create an erroneous impression.

I doubt if I should have mentioned these rumors at all were it not for the fact that every day and all day I am bombarded with two questions: "Do you think England will ask for peace with Hitler?" "Has England a chance to defeat Germany?" Those are very natural inquiries in view of the crisis, and because I imagine they are the ones which are foremost in your minds it would seem well for us to examine them. As regards the question of peace, the position which the British government has maintained was rather OCCICEDT ai DILLO BEST Qlau BUY NOW "TV -X AUS Ur TO EWTCT ui.6 ufaa fcyjrtifg I GHL Save With Clark Where It's Easy to Park Bright Lights on Stark, N.

The ministry announced "complete disagreement" with the view expressed by United States Senator Pittman, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee, that "Britain is totally unprepared for defense." The senator also said, by the way, that "the probability of Hitler's domination of Europe is evident." The ministry declared that Britain is facing the coming struggle "with confidence." It added that England hasn't "the slightest intention" of laying down her arms without a fight and "is determined to carry the struggle through to a victorious end." It is my personal view that this is a fair statement of the present attitude of the British government and public toward peace.
