BER! Jan. 16.—What psycho- logical repercussions British mili- tary actions on the European conti- | nent can produce on Nazi-occupied | territories is shown by the news from Norway reaching here today. Stockholm dispatches state that Norwegian resistance has been in- directly helped by recent British raids on the Lofoten Islands. t the same time, reports from American sources in Sweden, of a | possible Anglo-Saxon descent on some well-chosen spot in occupied Europe, have likewise inspirited sub- Ject populations, Yesterday’s Gazette de Lausanne reported from Stockholm the blow- | ing up by Norwegian patriots of | two important bridges in the North- ern Norwegian Province of Finmark- | en, which adjoins the Finnish bor- | der. This sabotage, according to experts, puts a heavy strain on the | important German base at Kirkenes which, since the British gained con- | trol of the seas off North Cape, | has depended for supplies on the | Finnish towns of Abo and Ro- | vaniemi. Cleanup of Quisling Party. Further indication of the persis- ' tently increasing state of unrest in Norway is the fact that Maj. Vid- | kun Quisling, Germany's tool in Norway, was compelled to make a thorough cleanup within his own | party into which many Norweigan patriots reportedly infiltrated to get an inside view of the party's pro- cedure. Other Stockholm reports speak of 10 new ‘concentration camps | opened recently in Central Nor- | wegian provinces, where the “spirit of rebellion” is deeply rooted. Yesterday’s Swiss press reported | the week-long illness of the over- worked Quisling. who is being re- placed in political functions by his right-hand minister, Hagalin. Voel- kischer Beobachter, thorities to the head of the Nor- wegian police, Gen. Olbjoern. An important, if indirect, result of the Norwegian unrest can be seen in the difficult relations that exist between Germany and Sweden, which are being aggravated by re- newal of German press attacks. Reproaches to Sweden. German reproaches to Sweden, ac- cording to the Swiss press, include this bill of particulars: 1. Sweden’s press expresses per- haps too loudly its sympathies for the Norwegian patriots and their | fate. A few days ago the Dagens Nyheter of Stockholm. speaking of | German methods of repression in Norway, wrote: “These methods, whose equivalent is unknown in Nordic countries and do not conform | with our way of thinking, are ap- | plied on Norwegian patriots whose main fault seems to be that they | refuse to become subdued.” 2. A Swedish decree forbidding | the export of warm clothing and | woolen things has appeared at the very moment Germany is collecting such articles for its army. 3. Probable Swedish advice Finland to sign a separate peace. | Sweden has thus far given no| sign of how it will respond to this pressure from its Tneighbor. Copyright, to 1942, by Chicago Dmly N!'l.

This use of corn, the department said, would conserve sugar and no- | lasses now commonly used in he | production of industrial alcohol. The corn will be offered at pries | based on prices of alcohol est:b- | lished by the Office of Price Admn- | | istration. On the basis of the prs- ent price of 50 cents per gallon ’or ethyl alcohol corn would be deiv= | ered to the processor at 85 cents jer | bushel. | In order to obtain the desired p-o- duction of alcohol, the departm:nt ' said it would consider lower pries for corn to those processors with unusually high conversion costs. In no event would the price of corn be | less than 75 cents. Regulations Relaxed. Legislation relaxing alcohol p-o- duction regulations to permit ¢is- | tilleries more easily to convert part of their production to industrial al- cohol, a vital war necessity, vas passed yesterday by the Senate 1nd sent to the White House. The bill lifted certain tax -e- quirements in the withdrawal of distilled spirits from registered cis- tilleries. Sodium Nitrate Rationed. The O. P.

STAR, WASHINGTON, Front to rear ~—A. P, Wirephoto, Paper Perishes As Publisher Answers Draft By the Associated Press. TURNERS FALLS, Mass., Jan. 16. —Classified as 1-A in the draft, Edi- J tor and Publisher Joseph S. Cotton, 27, of the Turners Falls Herald, a | 13- month-old weekly newspaper, an- | nounced suspension of publication | with the asser lmn: “When you gotta 80, you gotta go.” Opinion of the passing of the Herald,” Mr. Cotton said in his final article, “is divided into two schools of thought; those who are sorry to see it go, and those who are damn | glad. The former includes persons about whom praiseworthy articles were written: the latter, persons who didn’t like what the newspaper !ald about them.” “The Herald,” Mr. Cotton added. “enjoyed the distinction of being perhaps the only weekly newspaper in the country which suspended | publication whenever the editor felt | like having a vacation.” 'Axis Propaganda in U. §. \Uncovered by Dies BY the Associated Press. Chairman Dies of the Specjal House Committee Investigating Un- | American Activities said today that the Axis powers had succeeded in slipping pronaganda into this coun- try since United State§ entry in the war through the use of intermedi- aries in other countries. He told newspapermen that part of | the committee’s inquiry into “coun- try-wide fifth column” activities would be directed toward uncovering and smashing that machinery, which, he declared. was fostering disunity and distrust and impeding the country’s war effort. His statement followed a closed committee hearing, during which four persons from Philadelphia were | questioned. Mr. Dies said that he | would not “at this point” identify in- ! dividuals or organizations working directly with the Axis powers. But he said that the committee had learned that the Axis powers had been supplied with lists of per- sons in this country “sympathetic with their ldenlogies and sharing their prejudices.” He said the main organization supplying propaganda had a “direct | connection” with Nazi Germany.| While not identifying that organi- zation, he said the committee would | | show later receiots of cash and its | ‘ expend\tures in carrying on the | work. | | | Japan's Carolinemls_l_ands Raided by Ausfralians BY the Associated Press. NEW YORK, Jan. 16.—Australian bombers attacked Japan's Caroline | | Islands last night, and enemy craft | struck twice today at Rabaul of the | Australian Island of New Britain in the Bismarck archipelago. | A broadcast, heard by C.

Thinks Counsel Correct | In Calling Case ‘Smear’ Of Representative Fish Representative Fish's second sec- | retary, George Hill, was locked in District Jail today—convicted on both counts of a perjury indictment | returned ageinst him by a grand jury which was investigating Nazi activities in America. He com- mented: “I've lived through hell.” A maximum of 20 years' imprison- ment may face him when he is sen- tenced by Justice F. Dickinson Letts. District Court officials indicated this would be done probably a week ! from today. | Mr. Hill said he thought one of his attorneys, John J. O'Connor, | former member of the House from New York, was entirely correct | when he termed the entire case a “smear” of Mr. Fish. l “I was born and raised in Mr. Fish’s home district,” the 43-year- old clerk said. “They didn't put a case against Reynolds (Walter L. Reynolds, first secretary to the Rep-: resentative) because he’s from Ar- kansas.” | Hill has a wife—no children. Dur- | ing the World War he served 18 months with combat divisions in France, being injured by gas and shrapnel, according to his office. About three weeks ago Mr. Hill decided that, though under indict- ment, he desired—in the light of what happened at Pearl Harbor— to enlist in the Navy. He was turned down. The two charges on which Mr. Hill was convicted—carrying a penalty of from 2 to 10 years—were that he lied to the grand jury when he denied knowing George Sylvester Viereck, registered German agent, | and falsified again when he said he did not order certain mail bags placed in a storeroom assigned to Representative Fish. These bags, filled with frenked speeches of Sen- | ators and Representatives, had dis- appeared from the office of Prescott ! Dennett, secretary-treasurer of iso- | lationist committees here which the| | Government claimed were subsidized | by Viereck. One of these was the Islands for War Debts Committee. ‘ lnquest Set in Dealh of Ma {In Gun Battle With Police | | .

BURGOOLETTE is highly thought of by her connections and she could be hatd .to dispose of. ZAC may share in the purse distribution. SECOND RACE—SIR GIBSON, MEMORY BOOK, WAR EM- BLEM. SIR GIBSON has been threst~ ening in all of his recent outings and the gelding should be ready to master opposition of this sort.

THIRD RACE—MEAL FLAG, ROYAL WEISTA, SPREAD EAGLE. MEAL FLAG copped two of three 1941 starts around New York and he appeared to have just a smattering of class. He has trained well at this point. ROYAL WEISTA just missed in his last at Tropical and he is as good as the race suggests. SPREAD EAGLE is as good as his recent victory suggests. FOURTH RACE—DONNA LEONA, LADY WATERLOO, BELLE POISE. DONNA LEONA copped her last at Tropical in excellent run- ning time and right off that cracker-jack showing she has to be selected for a repeat perform- ance.

I honestly feel that it would be best for the country to keep baseball going. There will be fewer people unemployed and everybody will work longer hours and harder than ever before. And that means that they ought to have a chance for recreation and for taking their minds off their work even more than before. Baseball provides a recreation which does not last over 2 hours or 213 hours, and which can be got for very little cost. And, incidentally, I hope that night games can be ex- tended because it gives an oppor- tunity to the day shift to see a game occasionally. As to the players themselves, I know you agree with me that indi- vidual plavers who are of active military or naval age should go, without question, into the services. Even if the actual quality of the teams is Jowered, by the greater use of older plavers, this will not damp- en the popularity of the sport. Of course, if any individual has some particular aptitude in a trade or profession, he ought to serve the Government. That, however. is a matter which I know you can handle with complete justice. Here is another way of looking at it—if 300 teams use 5000 or 6.000 players, these players are a definite recreational asset to at least 20.- 000.000 of their fellow citizens—and that in my judgment is thoroughly worthwhile. With every best wish, Very sincerely yours, (Signed) FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. Charities Share in Estafe 0f Countess de Perigny By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH.
