Russia Ends Trade Talks With France’ (By The Associated Press) MOSCOW, Dec. 9.—The Rus- sian government today abruptly broke off trade relations with France and also put an end to a ‘two-year economic treaty with that country. The French charge d'affaires and his delegation were given their “traveling papers,” and the Russian delegation in Paris, which had been engaged in trade talks, was ordered home. Russia frankly gave as the reason for its action two recent occurrences in France, which, the Russians claimed, was. a di- rect. slap at Russia. The Russian statement | explai that, on November 9, three children of a Russian’ mother and a French father were removed from the Russian quarters in France, and on November 26, 19 Russians were deported by the French government on charges of having incited strikes, which, the state- ment concluded, were false. Renew Bicycle nounced today. Persons renew- | ing them should bring in their old licenses. The office of the city tax collector will be closed | this afternoon out of respect for Edward J. O. Roberts, assistant city comptroller, who died Satur- day and whose funeral will be held today. 1 Wes Are Some oui For Mather . eGE Iron eGE Steam Iron eWestinghouse, Light and rieavy Weight Irons eNesco Roasters eHeating Pads and Carving Sets eRevere Ware eClocks, Mantle or Kitchen eDormyer and Knapp Monarch Mixers For Father ... eDesk Lamp eSchick Shaver eRemington Shaver eRadios, GE Combination Table and Table and Portable, Westinghouse Combination Table and Portable eWaring Blenders For the Children ... eXmas Tree Lights Toys eLionel Trains For the Home... eLaunderall Automatic Was! $200 eYoungstown Kitchen Flatbed Ironers eElectric Brooms eGE Vacuum Cleaners eGE Coffee Makers, Glass house Vacuum Cleaners eChemex Coffee Makers ¢Hotpoint Water Heaters HOME APPLIANCE CO.

Last night four more Jews were killed during skirmishes in No Man’s Land between Jaffa and Tel-Aviv. A taxicab, occupied by Arabs, and a similar vehicle, occupied by Jews, were targets of at- tacks, as one chased the other over the roadways between Jaffa and Tel-Aviv. Results of this clash was not revealed.
