Finns feared today that the full power of Soviet Russia—especially in the air—was about to be unleashed against them. After four days of warfare there were increasing prospects of a long struggle directly or indirectly affecting other nations. Italy, warning the Soviets out of the Balkans, permitted thousands of Fascists to stage demonstrations denouncing Russia and supporting Finland. The Scandinavian nations, sending many volunteers to aid Finland, tightened their defenses. Sweden was reported reshuffling her Cabinet after a strong Nazi press attack on her Foreign Minister.

Recall of U. S. Ambassador Laure ence A. Steinhardt or severance of United States relations with the Soviet Union appeared today to be equally remote in view of authorie tative indications that the Adminise tration does not feel either action would be to the advantage of this nation or of world peace. That summation of official judge ment—as of today—came from an adequately qualified spokesman but
with a stipulation against revealing the source of the information. It was stated semi-officially that the United States would refuse to recognize the conquest of Finland if the Soviet Union overruns that nation.

Governor Jones saying she was being persecuted, and demanding dismissal of Hospital Superintendent Louise Saxe, Citizens were aroused at the apparent laxity of hospital procedure which allowed her to regain her liberty without difficulty. The Rev. Paul R. Ankerburg,
whom she threatened with a butcher knife while she was at large in October, feared for his life and fled his home at Tempe, several miles from the hospital, to come here and demand protection of the Sheriff,

He came into Sheriff Jordan's office visibly shaken. “Winnie Ruth wants revenge,” he said. “She thinks I betrayed her.” Sheriff Jordan’s deputies promised the Rev.

Nurse Saw Her at 6:30
Hospital attaches believed she walked from the asylum about 7 last night. It was 30 minutes later that she was missed. Her escape was announced by Governor Jones, whose political enemies sought to make capital of her first escape. That time she surrendered at the hospital after eight days hiding out in the surrounding fields and vacant buildings. The approximate time of her escape was fixed by a nurse on her ward who saw her at 6:30 p. m. sitting on the edge of her bed. “She was nervous and fidgety,” the nurse said. Attendants believed she was coatless and probably carrying a bundle of personal effects. She was wearing a wine-colored dress and brown shoes.
Under Guard Two Weeks
Governor Jones’ assistant secretary, Kel Fox, said Winnie Ruth had been kept under guard in a single room for two weeks after she returned Oct. 30, bleeding from scratches, barefoot and hungry. Then she was returned to the ward she fled, Mr. Fox said. Hospital attaches feared it might have had an adverse psychological effect to have maintained a guard over her, it was explained. Governor Jones attributed both escapes to overcrowded conditions at the asylum and the incompletion of a fence being constructed around

Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health officer, said today he would ask the City Council to pass the Milk Board's proposed milk ordinance tonight.

(The Soviet attitude is that in dealing with Kuusinen, Russia is dealing with Finland.) “Each of these ‘democratic’ powers would prefer to use the might of its army to capture Finnish territory, transforming Finland into a democratic state.

Mr. Hoover's week-end statement seemed to suggest that the New Deal Administration was less hostile to the Communist than to the Nazi scheme of things. The Dies Come mittee investigation of un-American activities probably will supply ame munition for that political argument if Republicans continue to develop it. It has given wide circulation ta charges that within the Adminise tration are Communist “fellow trave elers.” He accused the three of loading the Federal payroll with their “satellites,” whom, he said, ranged from Socialists to Communists with the “common garden variety of crackpots predominating.” P.esident Roosevelt has told intie mates that he is under heavy prese sure to break relations.
