tion about 2 o'clock to report the
theft of my car keys from my
machine parked on Klamath
venue between Tenth and
Eleventh streets. Then I walked
back to my car Bnd when I got
there, a car stopped across the
street and Gertie Barkley called
to me and asknd me if I didn't
want to so for a ride. In the
car was Gertie, she was in the
. front scat driving, and Edna
George and her little girl. I
got in the back and sat between
Ted Walker and Tom Smith.
They wanted to know If I had
anything to drink and I said I
hadn't. They had been drinking,
I think. Anyway aertie was
pretty drunk, and so was Ted.
"We drove across the bridge
and nearly to the top of the hill
(Indian hill), and then we stop
ped up there for a while, maybe
five or 10 minutes and talked.
When we started down, Gertie
was driving pretty fast and I told
her "aren't you pretty drunk
to drive your car, and anyway
you have a baby with you," but
Ted said Gertie could handle
the machine alright. And Gertie
said she'd never wrecked a car
-yet and had been driving a long
time. I
"We came down the hill pretty
fast and I guess Gertie forgot to
make that turn and kept straight
on. I felt the car leave the
road I'll never forget it. Then
we hit the water and I felt the
door on Tom's side open and the
water rush in. Then he must
have gone out the door, because
the door closed and he wasn't
there. My nose and mouth
were above 'the water and I
reached over and felt Ted and
said 'Ted, are you all right,' but
he didn t answer and I opened
the door and got out.
"I guess I swam quits a ways
down the canal, the water was
pretty swift and sort of carried
me along, then I reached the
bank and I was all-in, so I laid
there a long time, I don't know
how long, and ust rested. As
soon as I felt better I walked up
the bank and came down to the
Lightfoot hospital and called to
Mrs. Lightfoot to get the offi
cers." . Florinda said she didn't know
4ust what time the accident oc
curred but thought it was be
tween 2:30 and 3 a. m. The spot
where the woman lay on the
bank still gave evidence of her
wet clothing and the position of
her body.
Officers continued searching
for the bodies of Smith and Wal
ker late Wednesday. They con
sidered a slight possibility that

the men might not be in the
canal, but neither had been re
ported elsewhere.
Both dead women were mem
bers of prominent Indian fami
lies on the Klamath Indian reser
vation. Mrs. George is the
daughter of Watson Duffy, and
Mrs. Gertie Barkley Duffy is
the daughter of Mrs. Effie Bark
ley. Both city and county officers
stated that an intensive drive
against the sale of liquor to In
dians, both on and off the reser
vation has been underway, and
it has recently been reported
that bootleggers were meeting
Indians on the hills east of town
rather than in the business dis
trict. Police said a partially
filled bottle of whiskey was
found in Mrs. Duffy's car, and
a second bottle, containing wine,
was found floating in the canal.
Two Indian women, Roselda
Jackson Hood, and Agnes Go-
dowa Chocktoot, plunged into
the canal at the Main street
bridge about 3 o'clock Wednes
day afternoon and were rescued
from drowning by bystanders
and police officers who man
aged, by hook and rope, to get
the two ashore.
Bystanders said the girls had
stood on the bridge weeping
and suddenly ran down the
path and into the water. The
Hood woman is a niece of Mrs.
Dean George, accident victim,
and Agnes Chocktoot was said
to have been engaged to Ted
Walker, for whose body police
continued to drag late Wednes
day. Officers ordered Indians away
from the bank of the stream
where operations have been un
derway since early morning.
Both women were lodged in the
city jail on a charge of drunk
! and disorderly.

"It is the first Instance," the
prime minister said, "where air
bombing prolonged day after
day has failed to break discipline
and order of marching columns
who, besides being thus assailed
from the air, wero pursued by no
less than three armored divisions
as well as the whole strength of
German mechanized forces
which could be brought to bear."
In Cairo, the middle east com
mand war bulletin said simply
that the withdrawal from
Greece is "continuing satisfac
torily."
Because it felt that further
bloodshed would be useless to
the allies, the government said
Greece advised the British on
April 21 to withdraw their
forces and avoid vain sacrifices.
On April 21, Greece's Eplrus
and Macedonian armies were ne
gotiating surrender, other
Greeks and the British were
falling back across the Thessaly
plains and resistance had turned
into mere bitter-end delaying ac
tions. The Germans then were
beyond Larisa and Metsovon

planted their flag over Mount
Olympus.

Of Nazi Troops

east to Tampere April 28, Prav
da declared in a dispatch from
Tallinn, Estonia.
The report of the German
troop arrivals was contained in
the following nine-lino dispatch
printed at the top of Pravda's
foreiirn news case without com
jment:
"According to reliable re
ports, on April 26 there arrived
at the Finnish port of Abo four
German transport ships from
which about 12,000 German
troops landed with arms, tanks,
artillery, etc. On April 28, tho
troops began to move to Tarn
pere."
Germans here asserted the
nazl troop arrival was merely
part of the regular movement
of troops through Finland to
Norway which has been going
on for some time under agree
ment with the Finnish govern
ment.
It was the first time, however,
that notice of such movements
had appeared in the soviet
press.
Pravda, in a separate article
on "The great force of Stalin's
friendship of peoples," referred
to the Karelian republic created
after the soviet-Finnish war last
year.
'The tollers of the Karelian
Finnish republic are living In
friendship," it said. "Beyond
the border In capitalistic coun
tries now as never before are
being developed national hat
red, beastly chauvinism and the
Ideology of looting war.
"All the brighter In this
gloom are our victories."
