Possible, too, but perhaps not so plausible, was that the British intended to make a major assault on German positions in Norway while the Nazis were busy with the Russians. Berlin asserted that 28 British which had taken off from an aircraft carrier in the Arctic ocean were shot down in air combat and by anti-aircraft guns over northern Norway in an attempt to attack a northern Norwegian port, and that two German planes had been lost in the engagement.

Moreover, the Germans declared that the British had struck simultaneously with an attack by Soviet bombers on northern Norwegian territory. Say Leningrad Wabb les.

That Spokane will do Its utmost in aiding the defense of the nation through the purchase of defense savings bonds and stamps was assured yesterday when the Spokane county defense savings committee, under the chairmanship of State Senator Roderick A. Lindsay, outlined a program for enlisting the support of every citizen in the cause, Emphasizing that the program to sell Defense savings bonds was not a drive but a purely voluntary movement to spread the cost of defense as widely as possible among the American people, Saul Haas, Seattle, state administrator, assured the committee, which met at the Davenport for luncheon, that the widespread sale of these bonds would prevent inflation and at the same time set up a buffer against the depression which inevitably will follow the war boom.

NEW YORK, July 30.Manhattan's district attorney, Thomas E.

He declared in a seven-word statement, "I shall not run for district attorney," when his first four-year term in that office expires December 31.

Dewey said he hoped by his refusal to run to establish a precedent for office occupancy that would tend to make the job nonpolitical. Asked whether he Intended to return to private practice in January, he said merely, "I am a lawyer by profession."

NEW YORK, July 30.Profits of the first 250 companies to report for the second quarter of 1941 were 23 per cent greater than in the same period a year ago, an Associated Press compilation disclosed today. Earnings of the group amounted to $378.999,000, compared with $308,020,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1940. The survey showed that virtually every important industry enjoyed larger earnings than a year ago.

Compared with the increase in industrial activity, however, gains scored by many industries lacked impressiveness. As measured by the federal reserve index of industrial production, physical output of goods during the April-June period was nearly 30 per cent greater than a year ago. A stiff rise in federal income and excess profits taxes reduced earnings of many companies. Higher wages and production costs also absorbed some of the profits. Railroads, railroad equipment manufacturers and the steel industry showed the largest earning gains.

Profits of these industries were fairly well protected from excess profits taxes by heavy capital investments. say that he had any particular 1 further military moves in coop-era- i It will give one man control of the office in mind.

ASCAP said the agreement represented concessions on both sides under which NBC would pay 214 per cent of network commercial receipts, compared with 5 per cent previously paid by local stations to ASCAP on their respective share of network receipts. The new agreement, ASCIAP said, would specify payment of 214 per cent by individual stations on their local receipts. ASCAP said that the settlement would probably reduce Its radio revenue from these sources by about 40 per cent.

The organization originally demanded that networks pay 714 per cent. The contract which expired last December 31 provided 5 per cent. NBC said only that agreement was expected momentarily, MBS Arbitrated. Last May, ASCAP and Mutual Broadcasting System ended a similar dispute when MBS agreed to pay 3 per cent.
