"He shall no^efail them if the American . peopl^ again put their faith In Franklin D. Roosevelt." Although U. S. Senator James F.

Coe. In one instance. Doctor Coo said, a man purporting to be a salesman for a fictional publishing company In Columbia sold a Sumter county girl a dictionary, a magazine subscription and one othor book, 011 the strength of the promise that purchase of the outlay would entitle her to an NY A school scholarship paying six dollurs a month. . In another, he skid, a man sold the mother of an Aiken county girl instead of the girl herself, operating the same trick as the one in Sumter county. In both fuses, Doctor Coe said, the "salesman" obtained a dollar down, Instructed the dupes of his racket to write the state N\rA office in Columbia, and then vanished. The man, the magaiines and the books iiever showed up again, he said, and naturally, 110 NY A scholarship either. Dootor Coe issued a warning today to school youths, and parents of such youths, In this state to pay no attention whatever to offers of this sort. He said that NYA school Jobs could bo obtained through application to the authorities of the respective schools. The school officials, he emphasized, are the only persons permitted to select youths for NYA work. No NYA representative, he added, is authorized to sell anything to anyone, and every person sent out on NYA official business carries a card Identifying him or her as a representative of the National Youth administration. Winston Churchill, Britain's new war chief, asserts that "without victory there Is no survival" In the war against Germany. He said he has but one single aim in the European war: "Victory at all costs. I Submarine Squalus Sails A 8 Sail fish Portsmouth, N. H., May 15.? In a crisp, precise commissioning ceremony requiring less than live minutes, the navy added to its rolls today the submarine Salltish, formerly the Squalus, In whic h2t> men died almost a year ago in a faulty dive. Records of the Squalus had been closed' and the Sailflsh's log opened on u blank page. Nothing in the ceremony or in tho appearance of the glistening undersea craft served as a reminder of the tragedy of last May 23. There was no mention of tho keioic I rescue of 33 survivors, first over made with a diving bell, or of tho subso- J quent four-month struggle to salvage the submarine, during which scores of divers labored 40 fathoms deep, with danger like a dagger pressed against their throats. Pour of those survivors were aboard, members of the Sailflsh's crew, and virtually all 33 had askeh such assignment. Orders from Washington placed the SaHfish Ip commission and in command of Lt. Com. Morton C. Mumma, Jr. Camden Trained Horses Show Class Faction Fighter, * Camden-trained horse or (ho l*aul Mellon Btable, was not the only local horso to take top honors in various race events last week.
