The streets were swarming with fine, smart-looking soldiers in long gray great coats. In every town along the railroad from Aabo to Helsineki there was visible evidence of military preparation. Upon my arrival at Helsinski I found the most complete blackout I ever have experienced in my years as a war correspondent. There was scarcely a glimmer of light in the town, which is twothirds evacuated. It was blacker even than London.

sons would be employed at the plant. There are about 800 workers now at the experimental plant near the new addition which has been turning out about eight finished motors a month. After looking through the new Allison addition, Colonel Johnson told G. M. officials that “without a doubt it is the most modern and efficient factory unit in the counWy.” . At a luncheon yesterday given by Mr. Kreusser and attended by G. M. engineers and high Army Air Corps. officials, Colonel Johnson reported that the new factory is the largest completely air-conditioned plant in the country and that the plant shops have been equipped with fluorescent lights obviating the necessity for any windows.

Lauds Production

Because of its high speed and efficiency the Allison motor is consid lered by the War Department as America’s bid for supremacy in the air. . Colonel Johnson declined to say | whether the War Department contemplated lifting the present restric tion on Allison Co. which prohibits sale or shipment of the Allison | motor to foreign powers. The re(striction was clamped down shortly after Congress lifted the arms ban. Mr. Knudsen told the group at luncheon that General Motors ine tends that the Allison engine will be the “finest in the world.” The new machinery at the plant was described as “amazing” by Colonel Johnson. “I watched with amazement one machine boring 40 holes at one time, making important parts for this engine,” Colonel Johnson said.

Used in Many Types

The much discussed Allison motor, whose sole purchaser to date is the Army Air Corps, is being used to equip Curtiss, Bell and Locke heed pursuit and pursuit-interceptor type planes. : The Lockheed XP-38, twin Allison {engine interceptor is reputed to be capable of speeds in excess of 400 miles per hour. One attack-bomber now in production for tne Army, carrying two of the liquid-cooled Allison powerplants, is claimed by the War Department as being the fastest bomber in the world.

Also recalled was the fact that Mr. Ickes knew nothing about it when President Roosevelt appointed Mr. [MeNutt High Commissioner of the | Phillipines and later to his present post. Mr. Farley was not apprised |of the latter appointment either, un‘til Mr. McNutt called at his office and told him about it, which made no hit with the Postmaster General. PF. D.

Addresses Welfare Group

An excellent example was Mr. McNutt's address to the several thousand who jam-packed the Ward-man-Park Hotel dining room last night when he addressed the Amerjean Public Welfare Association dinner, “If we are to do our duty successfully,” he told them, “let us recognize that public welfare is not a mere luxury, but the cornerstone of democratic government, and that social security is only a new name for the age-old foundation of liberty. “Today it is equally the first duty of Government to open new doors of opportunity, and to see to it that at {no time shall any large number of Americans be trapped in unbearable circumstances with no hope of

escape. Cites Needs Served

“Our job is to let men out of traps, but it is not so simple as in the old days wher: men could be liberated merely by opening new territory to the west.” He cited the new needs served by

such agencies as the Public Health | Service, Social Security Board, | Civilian Conservation Corps and [the National Youth Administration, all of which are under his juris- | dietion. At a press conference, Mr. Dewey {said “there is a bottom to every [well” and the next President “can {balance the budget because he's got to balance it . . . on the basis of past records, a New Deal President would not balance the budget.”

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. 9 (U. P.).—Don Cameron, 35, who had a reputation as an industrious salesman, in two terrifying hours today committed at least four mure ders, two robberies, a kidnaping,

arson, and finally suicide. He also is suggested th a fifth murder. In the hours between midnight and 2 a. m. Cameron killed his wife, his son, and Mr. and Mrs. A. H, Wilk of Minneapolis, his wife's pare ents. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs, A. H. Wilk were burned so badly they were not identified for several hours, Sets Home Afire

Police believed he also was the merciless killer who kidnaped M. J, Brenden, a gasoline station owner at Eau Claire, 10 miles from here, and then shot his victim from behind in a cémetery,

A money bag which Mr. Brénden always took home with him was

Police Chief Edward Holt said Mr. Brenden apparently had been kidnaped at the station and forced to drive to the cemetery in his own car, where he was shot once in the neck and again in the teme ple. The gun used in tHe slaying was of the same caliber as that with which Cameron fired on his relatives. Cameron appeared at a gasoline station here at about the same time Brenden's body was found beside a tombstone. He struck Earl Redard, station atendant, with a tire iron and then went into the building to rob the cash register,

Drives to Cottage

While Cameron was inside, Ree dard staggered into the street and stopped an automobile, As he asked the two occupants, Sam Holeen and Frank Babbit for aid, Cameron reappeared and fired at them with a shotgun. All were wounded, and hospital physicians said Holeen's sight might be impaired permanently., Holen and Babbit live at Bloomer, Wis. After wounding the three at the filling station Cameron drove to Lake Wisota, Chief Holt said. Neighbors Heard several shots and then saw flames sweep through the house. They called police who are
