His life and his service will be an inspiration to others to ive of their time to public life." Normally, an appointee of the governor would serve until the.

next general election when a short term candidate would'be chosen, but since the vacancy occurred after the'final date for filing for the May primary, any appointee probably would serve until January, 1941. Was Candidate Griffith, who was seeking renom- ination, was opposed in the primary by Edward Hummel of often a candidate for the office. Presumably, Hummel will get the nomination uncontested, but election experts were checking precedent to determine if another candidate could be entered. Griffith, who for 26 years published the Morrow county Sentinel, had three teeth extracted Saturday and told associates at Mt. Gilead that he felt weak.

Shortly before noon Monday, he was stricken with 'a heart attack, aggravated by asthma, In his state house office.

Last night his family remained at he bedside until after 10 p. when attaches told them Griffith appeared to be doing satis- actorily and suggested they retire.

Griffith suffered a relapse early in he morning and died "rather suddenly," Dr. Murphy said. He was conscious until shortly before the end. Although Griffith had been active or 15 years In republican politics, he a desired note was obtained. Different Polish documents -accused United States diplomats of playing "an ominous role" in European affairs.

Comment on the documents, which the German foreign office last night had been uncovered in the secret archives of conquered Poland, poshed other news into the background as the morning papers blamed American diplomacy in great'measure for the outbreak of the European conflict. Principal targets of the Nazi press barrage were William C. Bullitt United States ambassador to Paris; Joseph P. Kennedy, ambassador to London, and Anthony J.

notes were distributed to small groups of musicians, and each stood up when it came time to blow its note. The refrain was played clearly and the stage looked like a toy shop at Christmas time with shelves filled with jumping jacks. Selections from "Carmen" by Bizet, opened the second half of the program, and the auditorium was filled with melody as the band played "The World Is Waiting For the Sunrise," by Lockhart-Seitz, in the second half of the program. Guest Artist Pleases The second part of the program featured Don Bassett, of Dayton, one of the foremost authorities on the clarinet in the United States. He played "Somnambula Theme" and variation by Thornton, to the accompaniment of the band, and responded to two encores, the second of which, "The Flight of the Bumblebee," was a favorite with the audience.

Mr. Bassett spoke of the advantages of music and band instruction in creating discipline, building character and encouraging subordination. He complimented the band for the accompaniment accorded him in his solo numbers, and said "there is no high school band in the state that can touch this band." He praised the musical ability of Director Bird and attributed the performance of the band to his skillful direction, organization and hard work. then took over the baton and conducted the band in "The Stars and Stripes Forever" by John Philip Sousa. In this number, Paul Von Gunten, still a junior high school youngster, was brought to the front for a flute score and the brasses were massed in front to bring the march to a grand cum ax, just as its great composer and conductor loved to do.

Band Equal To Challenge The closing number on the program was the 1812 overture, a 20-minute number that few high school bands would have the courage to attempt to play. Written by Peter Tschaikowsky for the consecration of a church in Moscow in 1880, the number commemor- All three, as Roosevelt, were well as Presidenl mentioned in the Vosges mountains and the river. German sources said that Nazi aJr raiders, working close to the Riglish coast last night, had sunk one merchant ship in convoy and "scored a number of hits on a cruiser," but the British admiralty said the attackers had been driven off without doing any damage. Loss of one German plane was acknowledged in Berlin. The German high command also acknowledged the loss of a pursuit plane in fights ove the western front but the British asserted the Germans lost two fighters and one of their members was disabled.

The German version added that three French-type planes 'were forced down with serious damage. In Nanking, Wang Ching-Wel, backed by the bayonets of his Japanese sponsors, formally proclaimed himself head of a new "Central government of China." Wang, once premier of Nationalist China and now referred to by his former associates as a "despicable trait- or," ordered immediate hostilities with Japan and directed Chinese troops to "await further orders." Although Wang set himself up as successor to the Chungking government of Chiang Kai-Shek, his authority actually will extend only to areas occupied by the Japanese army seaports and principal cities north and central China.

Gilead schools and Ohio Wea- leyan university. He was a member of the Episcopal church. The Morrow County Sentinel was founded in 1851 by Griffith's grandfather and three times the paper won awards as the "outstanding country weekly" in Ohio. Griffith, usually busy with politics, kept a close watch on the paper and often went into the backshop to make up pages of type.

With the fury of the battle resounding on the tympani, the number was brought to a close with the brasses thundering the old Russian national hymn in triumphant jubilation, bells, suggesting the ringing of the church bells in Moscow, pealed forth their song of victory. The baton of Director Bird had no more than dropped at the conclusion of the number until the audience rose to its feet in an enthusiastic ovation.

The band responded with "South Rampart Street" a football number.

They consisted primarily of "confidential reports" in which Polish envoys hi Washington, Paris and London were purported to have outlined for their government the views of American diplomats in Europe.

'Adolf Hitler's Voelkischer Beobaen- ter, which was particularly outspoken in its editorial comment, characterized as "amazing" the disclosures the alleged activities of the American ambassadors to London, Paris ant Warsaw in the.tense days.before the outbreak of hostilities. Ambassadors Assailed "These three of all Mr. Bullitt in Paris," the newspaper said, "virtually made it a point of honor to swing.the still seemingly repugnant elements in the London government toward adapting Polish desires and thereby bringing Europe closer to war." Asserting that Kennedy and Bullitt had played an "ominous" part in pre-war policies reflecting "the irrevocable desire of the western democracies to finish national socialist Germany by war," the Voelkischer Beofaachter asked: "What in the world induced these gentlemen, from far-away America to assume not only the role as vehement advocates of Polish claims, but even to" encourage the Poles, when they showed signs of weakening?" The documents released in Berlin covered, in the main, the period leading up to the allies' pledge of March 31, 1939 to aid Poland in the event of attack. They also covered period of some months thereafter. All but one of the documents, which the press received in the form of what purported to be photographic copies, were typed in the Polish language.

Count Potocki, attributed to President Roosevelt without directly quoting desire to distract American attention from domestic problems "by conjuring up a war psychosis." The president also was'represented as desiring, by the same means, "to persuade the American people to accept an enormous preparedness program which goes beyond defense needs."
