Scan Per Diem of
W ash'll Treasurer
_
OLYMPIA, Wash. UP)—The leg- j
islative council’s sub-comm it tee on
spending of state money cast a
critical eye yesterday at state
treasurer Russell Fluent after re
ceiving reports from accountants
that he had drawn $1,984 in per
diem expenses during the 15- ,
month period ended June 30
The report, which also criticized
other operations of the treasurer’s
office, said Fluent drew the per
diem for about 75 per cent of the
period.
Fluent, now Progressive party
candidate for Governor, said in
Sedro Woolley that the report was
prompted by “political reasons.”
He asserted it was “small and
cheap” to criticize his drawing the
standard $6 a day allowance away
from Olympia when his monthly
salary as treasurer is but $290.

Whales Commit
Mass Suicide
CRESCENT BEACH, Fla. (^)—
Forty-four whales swam out of a
rough ocean and deliberately
beached themselves yesterday in i
an apparent mass suicide.
Most of the mammals, which
ranged in size from seven to 14 #
feet, died quickly as they were
rolled over the sands by the rough
surf.
A few remained alive and efforts
were made to drag them back into
the water.
Curators said that several times
in the past, whales have beached
tljemselves along the Florida coast j
in unexplained “hari-kari” fash-:
ion. When they were towed back
into the water, they swam head
long into shore again. #
The future home of Mac's Cab is
rapidly being put into shape next
door to the Alaska Steamship Co.,
on Front Street.
