PARIS. (UP) ,— Allied troops
are deepening the Maginot line on
the Western Front with new field
positions including trenches, ank
traps and some concrete pill boxes,
a war office spokesman said to-
day.
These new positions, calculated
to strengthen the Allied line ma-
terially, are behind the-perman-
ent positions of the Maginot sys-
tem.
The war office spokesman em-
phasized that for the present Al-
lied troop positions were wholly
defensive. He added:
"They will not be defensive per-
manently.’’
Heavy snow falls, fog and zero
cold almost completely stopped
ground and aerial operations on

Weston A. Bousfield of the Uni-

report upon a study of the sleep-

Even though it is possible to get

WEATHERFORD, Tex. (UP)—
A westbound Teras and Pacific
passenger train demolished a truck
at a Weatherford railroad Cross-
ing at 9:47 a. m. today, killing one
man and critically injuring a sec-
ond.
Tip Dobbs, about 45, was killed
instantly.
Paul Morgan, also about 45, was
injured so seriously that physi-
cians despaired of his life.
The truck, belonging to Parker
County, was pitched to one side of
the tracks, a twisted wreck, while
the motor was shoved for more
than 50 feet.
Both men were county em-
ployes.
AMSTERDAM. (UP).—An of-
ficial decree was promulgated to-
day authorizing the mobilization
of every man in the Netherlands
between the ages of 18 and 59
years for emergency work at any
time and in any manner.
The decree was issued by Maj.
Gen. I. H. Raynders, commander
in chief of the defense forces. It
is designed for an emergency but
is effective at once.
Military officers or burgomas-
ters acting for them are empower-
ed to draft civilians for auxiliary
duties such as repairing roads,
bridges and communications dam-
aged by enemy action; building
fortifications, erecting defense
lines such as barbed wire en-
tanglements and maintaining the
dike defenses, which pennit the
flooding of wide areas to halt an
invader.
Civilians with special training
which fit them for various emer-
gency tasks would be called up
first. But if their number proved
insufficient, then youths would
be drafted and would be given
emergency training for designated
tasks.
Men drafted must report with
tools, equipment and bicycles if
requested. Nearly every Hollander
owns a bicycle.
The penalty for evasion of a
draft is a maximum of three
months’ imprisonment.
Civilians engaged in work re-
garded as essential will be ex-
empted from the draft order.
Those who are called will receive
pay equivalent to that paid for
the same kind of work in non-
military employment.
By the decree, the Netherlands
testified anew to its historic de-
termination to resist any invader
at whatever cost. Under existing
law, every man in the country
between 19 and 40 year's of age
is liable for active, military serv-
ice. The national defenses have
have been prepared for an im-
mediate resistance to any attempt
to use Holland as a pathway be-
tween the present European bel-
ligerents in the west Though de-
tails are a military secret, some
areas have already been flooded
experimentally in the. possible
path of invasion.

FORT WORTH, Texas. (UP).
—William D. Woodruff, father of
Alice (Jerry) Woodruff Burns,
17, found stabbed to death yes-
terday in Los Angeles, said to-
day that a 30-year-old suitor “had
pestered” the family here last
winter for the girl’s California
address.
The" fat her, a county construc-
tion worker, said that the man
came to his house last winter and
insisted on getting the girl’s ad-
dress. Woodruff said he arose
from his sick bed to order the
suitor from the house.
“When I asked him why he
wanted the address,” said Wood-
ruff, “he said he had inherited
a home and some property in Los
Angeles and wanted Jerry with
him.”
The girl at that time was
married to Jake Johnston of Fort
Worth, Woodruff said, whom she
married while attending grade
school, he had separated from
Johnston earlier and gone to La-
mesa, Texas, to work in a cafe.
She went to California in July,
1938, her father said.
Woodruff declared that his

troops killed 600 Russians in the
battle of Kelja, which raged from
8 p.m. Tuesday night to noon
Wednesday, an official communi-
que announced tonight.
The communique said that dur-
ing the battle a number of rifles,
automatic weapons and ammuni-
tion fell into the hands of the Fin-
nish troops. The communique said
also that the Finns dispersed two
battalions of Russians in fighting
in the Sysskyjaervi sector on Wed-
nesday.
A battle continued all of yester-
day north of Suemussalmi, near
Lake Kantijaervi, where the Finns
destroyed enemy columns, the
communique added. In the Kuhmo
sector the Finns destroyed a sup-
ply column of 40 pack horses and
captured eight Russian tanks.
It was reported here that Rus-
sia had thrown an army estimated
at 100,00 men at the western end
of the Mannerheim Line in a new
attempt to break through and
crush resistance.
Appearance of big squadrons of
Russian planes over the front put
the Finns on the alert for a possi-
ble Russian attempt to land sui-
cide squads by parachute to blow
tip vital bridges and cut commit-
mentions.
For three weeks the Russians
had driven vainly at the eastern
end of the Mannerheim Line. on
Lake Ladoga, to turn the Finnish
left wing.
Today, after a long bombard-
ment of points all along the 60
mile Karelian Isthmus front, the
Russians struck at the Finns’ right
wing.
It seemed possible that this fight
would develop into a crucial one.
Shock troops were supported by
reserves, estimated in all in ex-
cess of 100,000. The reserves were
astride the main Leningrad-Viipuri
road. Everything pointed to a
surge by massed Russian troops,
the spearhead directed toward Vii-
puri.
The Russians had succeeded in
repairing the Leningrad-Viipuri
railroad, which the Finns tore up
when they voluntarily retired to
the Mannerheim Defense Line dur-
ing the first few days of the war.
Now the Russians were using it to
concentrate their troops.

“We have doubled the output
of shells since the outbreak of the
war and are now making ten times
as much as the figure for a com-

Burgin said that since the start
of the war gun production had
increased as much as eight times
WASHINGTON. (UP) — The
Public Works Administration to-
day announced its field offices in
Omaha, Neb., and Fort Worth,
Tex., will be closed Feb. 1. Their
work will be transferred to the
main Mid-West office at Chicago.
The closings are necessitated by
depletion of funds appropriated in
1938 and the law requiring PWA

pleted” by June 30.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark.
(UP) — The newspaper Berling-

coast of England yesterday. The
deaths made a total of 115 Dan-
ish seamen killed in the war.

far received, with many ruined
areas unheard from, left no doubt
that there had been a major dis-
aster.
The tens of thousands of in-
jured were in many cases without
medical aid and hundreds of thou-
sands of persons were homeless in
suz-zero cold without food.
Erzincan city and province, the
city with 60,000 residents and the
province with 160,000, seemed
hardest hit. Erzincan was nearly
destroyed by an earthquake in
1784.
Other areas which suffered
heavily included Ordu, 113,000 pop-
ulation’; Tokat, 77,500; Sivas, 70,-
000; Amasia, 60,500; Samsun, 32,-
500; Trebizond, 29,700; and Plum-
er, 15,000.
Continuous heavy snow in cen-
tral and eastern Anatolia halted
a relief train, destined for Erzin-
can, at Sivas. Thousands of work-
men were sent out to clear all
railroad tracks. In the train
stranded at Sivas was Health Min-
ister Dr. Hlusi Alatas on his way
to Erzincan.
All military and governmental
employes in the eastern provinces
were mobilized for rescue work.
The Erzincan Inquiry committee
indicated that hardly a building
ir the province escaped damage.
Earth shocks continued during
the night, 48 hours after the first
shocks early Wednesday.
Official reports told of survivors,
EDINBURG, Tex. (UP)—Thir-
teen-ycar-old Tom Vela, a spunky
city boy who got lost on his first
hunt in Southwest Texas’ track-

early today after 159 searchers
had combed Upper Hidalgo County
for 12 hours.
Smiling but cold, Tommy said he
was "scared only once, when a
wildcat jumped over me while. I
was trying to sleep.”
The boy wandered for 15 miles
after becoming separated and lost
from Mike Chapa, his cousin and
a prominent rancher. Once, the
boy passed within 150 feet of a
ranchhouse, 11 miles east of San
Manuel. but he failed to see it in
the darkness.
Tommy was found by six cow-
boys in the early morning after
his tracks had been found and
identified shortly before midnight
by the searching party.
The youth used his head and
helped his rescuers.
“After finding that I was lost,”
he said. “I decided to run as fast
as I could during the daytime to

pending an official check, and it
was hoped that figures might be

The new quakes were reported
at Giresun, on .the coast, Trebi-

miles inland. Light shocks con-

Eight thousand persons were re-

Three survivors were reported
among the 350 people of the vil-

LOS ANGELES. (UP) — The
"girl with the red rose” was iden-
tified today. Police learned all
they could of her last moments.
But is only added to the mystery
of her murder.
She was Jerry Burns, 17, a “B”
girl-one of a class of girls em-
ployed by California bars to in-
duce customers to drink more than
they might otherwise.
An hour before her body was
found in a coal yard, she had gone
off with one of her customers, tell-
ing one of her colleagues: "This
guy has a big roll.”
But if the murdered had been
a casual customer of the bar in
which Miss Burns worked and had
dated a “B” girl, which is not
unusual, why had he been at such
pains to try to prevent her body
being identified? Why had he
slashed and pulled the skin from
her face? Why had, he stripped
off her clothes and left her body
naked in the coal yard?
In tearing off her dress, a
red rose of cloth fell off of it and
it was beneath her body when it
to select his own time and place
for announcing future plans. It
is said with considerable aythorituI
tian * not choose to dscuss
that subject on Jan. 8 on the
occasion of Washington’s $100-a-
plate Jackson Day dinner.
Today’s third term talk is
notable for its you did-I didn’t
character, beginning with a press
release by the magazine Living
Age, as follows:
“President Roosevelt is directly-
quoted as stating ‘It would not
do for me to run again’ in the
January- issue of Living Age. The
quotation occurs in an article by-
Ray Tucker, Washington newspa-
per commentator, entitled ‘F.D.R.
Declines to Run.’
“Elsewhere in Mr. Tucker’s ar-
ticle, the President is quoted as
saving to Sen. George W. Norris
that he ‘could not stand the day-
by-day battering another four
years in this office.’
“Directly quoted, also, are the
chief executive’s comments on the
political adequacy—or inadequacy
—of such Democratic aspirants to
the presidency as Sen. Burton K.
Wheeler, Postmaster General
James A. Farley, Vice-President
John N. Garner, Paul V. McNutt
and others.”
Norris promptly denied having
discussed the subject with Tucker
or with the President and the
writer announced with equal em-
phasis that tH* +alk had taken
place, as reported, and that he
recalled further details of it.
Shortly the telephone of White
House Stephen T. Early began to
ring. Said Early:
“My understanding is that Sen.
Norris has denied both that he
conversed with Mr. Tucker or
with the President on the sub-
ject. I am certain Mr. Tucker has
not conversed on that subject with
the president. The question arises,
then, where did Mr. Tucker get
his information?”
The Tucker-Norris incident
leaves 1940 speculation about
where it was. There is general be-
lief here that Mr. Roosevelt does
not want a third term ana a some-
what less numerous group is com-
mitted to the theory that he will
be persuaded to run again, any-
way-. But if Mr. Roosevelt is not
a third term candidate, there is
an inclination here to rate Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull the
most available compromise candi-
date, fairly acceptable both to
conservatives and New Deal Dem-
ocrats.
