FiRdations Grow Frail WASHINGTON, June 2M American relations with Finland dangled by a frail thread . today as Secretary of State Hull said the possibility of a break was be ing given careful consideration. Other diplomatic sources said a severance of relations with Fin' land, now swarming with Ger mans, may come at any moment Reports of the number of .Ger man troops actually on their way to fight the Russians on Finnish soil varied, but Stockholm dis patches said that the democratic government in. Finland "had vir tually disappeared with the flood of incoming nazis. -' Although the United States has come near breaking relations with Finland more than once since Pearl Harbor, the sustaiinng hope that this country's influence could help get the Finns out of the war vanished with the Finnish-Ger man agreement announced two days ago. . - Wanted! 6000 Ration Points (Continued from page 1)' there will be a children's naradei sports contests, etc. At night a big war bond event- Is scheduled at 9, with distribution of prizes, chief of which is a Chevrolet automo bile, f .-;: .;yS-c .

' Tt Groyer moved from It to Gaiety, hill at about the time he entered the governor's office in 1870, Did he again live on the north aide of Salem? Judge L. H. McMahan -has above the desk in the study of his home, a framed Salem pano rama made In 1858, In which the towered Grover' residence appears on North Church street Mrs. R. P. Boise, whose moth er-in-law once owned the house and willed it to her daughter, Mrs: J. H. Lauterman, remembers that t - once-stood on the .corner of Church and Court streets, where the Standard station is today, and was then moved "back" we un derstand it went norm.

If these facts are wrong, as no doubt some of them may be since they were gathered hastily by telephone, corrections will be wel comed. None of them, of course, can rebuild the graceful old frame house, but they can allow the facts of its existence- to go down correctly in history OPA Reveals Ceiling Prices For Berries , WASHINGTON, June 29-Wh Ceiling prices were announced to night for the 1944 crop of red and black raspberries, dewberries, and blackberries, effective July 3.
