They are the first shipment to the Guiana prisons which Include notorious Devil's Island since the Daladler government reversed the decision of the former premier, So cialist Leon Blum, to abandon the South American island prisons. For 14 days these men will sit on wooden benches In Iron cages and sleep in canvas hammocks, with few breaths of fresh air. The prison ship's unwilling pas sengers have been arriving at this Island concentration camp, in the Bay of Biscay, for the past two weeks, transported to mainland ports in trucks fitted with iron bars like those of circus wagons. The Daladler government Indi cated the nation was too poor to keep them in continental Prance. It probably will be years before any of them will set foot again In Prance, If ever. It is likely most of them will die In the Guiana colo nies. Called by Daladier's opponents the greatest decision he has made since taking part in the Munich confer ence, renewal of the practice of shipping men to Guiana runs con trary to the published commentaries of many prison officials. "The Guiana colonies are homes of abominable corruption and no redemptory work Is possible In that climate," said Armand Andreiu, for mer director of French penitentiar ies under the Blum regime.

DEALER Salem; Oregon' Cable Snapping Kills Worker On German Ship Oakland. Calif.. Nov. 11 MV-The death of an Oakland longshoreman aboard the German motorshlp Wes er was set down aa an accident by police who blamed It today on the use of old loading gear. The victim, Nick Pesha, father of three children, was killed when a cable broke and a 12-ton boom crashed on the ahlp's deck. Forty-five minutes later, another cable anapped and a second giant wooden boom fell to the deck, nar rowly missing three longshoremen. The 00 longshoremen working the cargo then left the ship, saying they would not return to their jobs until they were convinced their safety was assured. Police Lieut. L. M. Carroll, after questioning ship's officers and long shoremen, said he was convinced both cable breaks were accidental. Among the first visitors to the ship after the boom fell on Pesha was a group of investigators who had been examining a hole In the hull of the German freighter Van couver. The Vancouver, crippled by an unexplained blast last November 3, was drydocked early yesterday near the pier where the Weser was unloading. J. Frank Coakley, assistant dis trict attorney of Alameda county, one of the Vancouver explosion in vestigators, said the visit of his group to the Weser was made out of curiosity, Capt. pram Voigt, master of the Weser, attributed the falling booms to accidental causes. He was asked to prepare a full report on the mat ter for Baron Manfred von Killlnger, German consul in San Francisco. 2456 Enrolled In Health Clubs Total enrollment of 2.4511 in 4-H neaitn clubs was reported by Coun ty Club Leader Hardin? th. ir- cal 4-H leaders' meeting held here irom over me county Saturday, a remarkable growth in four years from two clubs of about 100 mem bers the first year, to 850 members the second and 1,850 last year.
