There have been some deep and subterranean thunderlngs tn north west Washington that haven't, reach ed the surface yet. When they do get above ground, they may shake the solid walls pf the department of the interior. However, the building Is said to be earthquake-proof. The cause of the disturbance la the coming re-entrance of Colonel Henry Wait? Into the Washington scene. Mr. Walte will make a thor ough Investigation end survey of the public works administration, and do It on presidential request. Not that any scandal Is Involved or even suspected. The administra tion merely wants tho facts when congress, at the next regular session, looks upon PWA and asks: How does ahe stand? But the rumbling, or at least the grumbling, comes from the fact that it was Mr. Walte who. as deputy ad ministrator of the PWA (old style) couldn't get along with Secretary Ickes at all. Secretary Ickes can, on the other hand, get along very well without Mr. Waite. especially as sur veyor of Mr. ickes and all his works. There are some Republicans who attach much significance to the vic tory of Senator Moore in the New Jersey governorship race. Though a Democrat, he Is said to lean to tbe right. The same people feel that the predominance of Republicans in the vote fo. delegates to the constitu tional convention in New York Is a swing away from the New Deal. But somo folks are worrying about a splitting of legal hairs which they say might rob them of a part of their New Jersey vtctory. Some. It Is said, even sought the department of Justice to give them a ruling on the matter. This is the problem : Must Senator Moore resign from the senate before he can take the oath of office as governor? If he must, between the time he resigns (Continued on Page rhree.)

FROM FREIGHTER AT LAST Union .Action Releases 11 ! Carloads of Lumber Suspension Not Automati cally Off, Say Employers PORTLAND, Nov. 11. (Jp) The C.I.O. sawmill workers withdrew a picket line from the freighter Heglra today at the moment a waterfront employers' association order suspend ed port activities because of labor trouble. ' The union action released 11 car toads of lumber. Loading operations began Immediately. We decided to release tho lumber rather than throw the west coast longshoremen out of work," said George Brown, president of the saw mill organization. Loading the Hcgira does not auto matically remove tho suspension," re ported Edward S. Coates, manager of the employers association. "We put it up to the longshore men and they have taken this action. We want assurance that similar inci dents will not occur." Coates said employer representa tives would meet with longshore of ficials "to try and get the whole thing cleaned up in the northwest." Longshoremen refused to pass pick et lines Monday when C.I.O. mill workers asserted a legitimate strike existed at the Carnation Lumber company at. Forest Grove, operated by A.F.L. workers and alleged source of the hot cargo. The employers said the stevedores had violated their working agreement. The conference today will also con sider a dispute which haa closed the Coos Bay port at Marshfleld for four days. C.I.O. dock workers declined to handle lumber from a mill man ned by A.F.L. employes. Six freighters moved to down river ports late yesterday to avoid a pos sible Indefinite tieup. Shipping con cerns employed all available long shoremen to get cargo aboard. FIRST SNOW FOR KLAMATH REGION KLAMATH PALLS.

King George, standing rigidly at attention during the solemn service before the World war cenotaph, ig nored the disturber who shouted: "All this Is hypocrisy you're de liberately preparing for war!" Queen Mother Mary and Queen Elizabeth, watching from a home office window, looked on aghast. Hand uplifted, unarmed and clad In a raincoat, the middle-aged man dashed through the line of sailor guards a few feet to the right and to the rear of the monarch. Shouting, he appeared to trip. Guards scuffled him quickly to the pavement, and hands clapped over his mouth drowned out further outcry during the period of silence. Apparently unconscious, he was carried quickly out of the crowd and taken to Saint Stephen's hos pital at Fulham for medical observa tion. Ho was Identified as Stanley Storey, who escaped September 21 from the Cane Mill asylum tn Surrey. The incident recalled a similar disorder at a great state occasion when Edward, now Duke of Wind sor, was king before hla brother.

The duke, however, refused. The Duke and Duchesaof Windsor, remaining within their hotel, bought popples from an Englishwoman and gave them to British Legionnaires. The Windsors gave "quite a bit" to the veterans" fund tn return for the popples, the Englishwoman said. Rev.
