BORAH, SENATE VETERAN, IS AT POINT OF DEATH

? Suffers Cerebral Hemorrhage After Fall; Wife Says All Hope Given Up.

(Photo, Page Three)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18 (U. P.).— Mrs. William E. Borah, wife of the Veteran Idaho Senator, said today that physicians had given up all hope for his recovery from a cerebral hemorrhage. The 74-year-old Senator suffered ‘the hemorrhage Tuesday morning when he slipped in the bathroom of his apartment, and has “been in. a coma most of the time” since then, _Mrs. Borah said. He has recovered “consciousness occasionally. His physicians, headed ‘by Dr. Worth Daniels, have told her “there is no hope for his recovery,” Mrs. Borah declared.

Calls For Wife

After a visit to the apartment, Miss Cora Rubin, secretary, told reporters in trembling voice: “The Senator is very, very critically ill. He is unconscious most of the time, but regains consciousness at times to call for Mary, his wife.” Miss Rubin said that the Senator

Senator's his a

was breathing regularly and seemed

to be in no pain. President Roosevelt requested his secretary to give him frequent reports on the Senator's condition. Télephones in Senator Borah’s office rang constantly. Many Senators called to say that they were praying for the Idaho veteran: Other Senators telephoned the Senate Press Gallery to keep in touch with developments. Miss Rubin said that Mrs. Borah has .been umable to find out what caused the Senator to fall and strike his head. He was believed to have slipped on a small rug. He was unconscious when picked up and carried to bed.

Health Was Good

: When Mr. Borah’s injury first became known yesterday, it was said merely that he had been bruised in the fall and was expected to be up in two or three days. Then. today his office announced: “Senator Borah is suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage whieh occurred early Tuesday morning.” Friends said that only on Monday Senator Borah had undergone a physical examination and had been pronounced in good health. On Capitol Hill, the usually- calm Vice President John N. Garner paced back and forth in his office. “Senator Borah will be missed as much as any member of the Senate,” he said. Senator Arthur H, ‘Vandenberg (R. ‘Miéh, had tears in his eyes when he returned to the Senate after a call at the Borah apartment. “One of the foundation stones of stones is being swept out from under the country,” he said. When the Senate convened at "noon Chaplain Barney Phillips prayed for Senator Borah’s recovery. Senators were visibly moved.

Mrs. Borah Composed

‘The Borahs’ apartment is on the fourth floor of a fashionable building at 2101: Connecticut Ave. in the northwest section of Washington. Mrs. Borah, a graying woman, met reporters in the living room of the apartment. She seemed composed and responded quietly to the few questions that were asked of her. The apartment is decorated with miniature elephants and rows of books line each wall. Members of Senator Borah’s office staff took turns calling at the apartment. Senator Borah has only two close relatives. They are a sister, Mrs. Mattie Rinard of Fairfield, Ill, near where Senator Borah was Yorn, and Wayne G. Borah, a nephew who is a Federal judge in New Orleans.

5 BRITONS DIE IN MYSTERY BLAST

Forty Others Reported Hurt; Powder Plant Explosions Jar Six-Mile Area.

—

LONDON, Jan. 18 (U. PJ). Three tremendous explosions today wrecked part of a North London powder factory, damaged houses over a six-mile area ‘and killed at least five workers. About 40 or 50 others were reported injured, most of them slightly. Official sources said that an i

vestigation was undek way as to the cause of the blast, which revived fears of sabotage. ‘There was no cfficial *hint, however, that the explosions were not accidental. A communique issued by the Ministry of Supply said: “The Ministry greatly regrets that an explosiion occurred this morning in a factory in North London. “Five men were killed and a number injured. Fortunately, most of the injuries were slight. An inquiry into the causes of the aceident 3 being made.” <= ~~

Heard 25 Miles Away

The explosions, heard as much as 25 miles away, shot a mighty column of flame into the air over the factory and puffed clouds of smoke perhaps 300 feet into the sky. “The German wireless carried a rumor that at least 15 were killed and several hundred were injured in the explosions, which the Nazis said were believed due to “anti- English elements.” Doors were blown from their hinges nine miles from the factory by the terrific rush of air following the explosion and thousands of panes of glass were broken. (The suburb of Waltham Abbey, 12 miles north of London, is the center of a British arms factory district. The British censor in London suppressed dispatches giving the name of the factory where the ex< plosion occurred.)

Ambulances Rush to Scene

The home of a nursery owner a mile and a half from the factory was set afire, apparently by embers thrown through the air by the explosion. Ambulances, alr raid precatitions officers and demolition squads, concentrated at the scene of ‘the explosion. From beyond the police lines, the factory appeared to have been damaged buf work continued in undamaged parts of the plant. Relatives of workers, mostly women, gathered outside the police lines, (Continued on| Page Three) SE

TUGKER ‘PREFERS SENATORIAL RACE

Plans Not Definite Yet, Says Secretary of State.

Secretary of State James M. Tucker, who has been mentioned prominently as a candidate for either U. S. Senator or Governor, said today that of the two he would “prefer” the Senatorial nomination. Explaining he had no definite plans for the 1940 election, Mp Tucker said he probably would seek renomination as Secretary of State. In commenting on the 1940 election, the 30-yearold Paoli Republican, only member of his party elected to State office in 1938, said: “I do not want to create any con-

anything to insure the party’s chanc for victory this fall. The chances are that I'll run for renomination, although I haven't made up my mind.” It has been reported that supporters of Glen R. Hillis of Kokomo, who is seeking the gubernatorial nomination, would like to see Mr. Tucker come out for the Senate in opposition to Raymond Willis of Angola, the 1938 nominee. Both Mr. Hillis and ‘Mr. Willis are from the northern part of the state and Mr. Hillis’ backers believe a Senatorial choice from the southern section would boost the Kokomo candidate’s chances for nomination. Two other announced candidates fr the Governor nomination—State Senator William Jenner of Shoals and Judge James Emmert of Shelbyville—are from the southern section. Other announced candidates are George R. Jeffrey of Indianap-

Europe. The idea is that if Germany supplies, the Reich must capitulate that Ronald Cross, Britain’s Minister of Economic Warfare, told the House of Commons that after four and one-half months of blockade, Germany is in as bad a way as she was after two years of the World War. The statement points to the way the Allies hope to win the war, withi the slaughter of the last one.

Neutrals Lining Up

While the economic pressure is daily tightened, the lining up of neutrals on all sides has been speeded up. In the West, the Allies feel confident' that the Germans cannot break through the Maginot Line, although they do not dismiss the possibility that in desperation, they may try a surprise, lightning ‘'attack when the weather improves. German artillery yesterday broke out in a sudden bombardment on the sector west of the Saar.River, military informants said today, and there was a duel when the French replied. Fire was exchanged 85 minutes. Flank Attack Doubted

French patrols resumed activity all along the Western Front. French informants said that the Germans were less active, in the intense cold, because they lacked the warm clothing of the Allies. As to a flank attack through Holland and Belgium, the passage of time has made it much less likely to succeed. The Dutch and Belgians have had more than four months to mobilize their armies—now at least 1,000,000

.|trained men, with more in reserve—

and to perfect their defense systems. The element of surprise has gone.

Allies Promise Support

In addition, Holland and Belgium, as well as other neutrals, have been given open assurance, in the press and by public statements, that the Allies will move instantly to their aid if they are attacked. Statements in the French press indicate that a full accord has been reached with the neutrals for the swift passage of Allied forces in case of invasion. In the North, similar measures have been taken. Britain, without any written guarantee, has given Sweden and Norway to understand that they will have Allied backing in any war. Informed sources in London explain that the British attitude is that if Germany attacks the Scandinavias, they will automatically become allies of Britain, :

Sweden, Norway Stand Firm

Both Sweden and Norway have plainly shown their intention of defending themselves. Germany conceivably could land forces in southern Sweden, but marching through the length ofi that country. would present something of the same problem that the Russians encountered in Finland. The Germans would have to establish a firm hold on the country as far north as the Arctic Circle to get the iron ore which she must have to continue a war. In southeastern Europe, the lineup against either German or Russian attack is swiftly taking shape, with Ttaly helping things along. A meeting of the Balkan

By WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent WITH THE FINNISH ARMY, Jan. 18.—Neutral military observers expressed conviction today that the Finns could hold the Russian|® Army indefinitely provided they could obtain from abroad sufficient credits and supplies.

White House Conference Opens in Capital to Study Ills of Jobless Youth.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—If the President, before drafting the budget, could have read some of the alarming reports or his “White House Conference on Children in a Democracy,” opening today, he

The reports point to the despair of our 4 million unemployed youtns with this warning: “Every year sees more added to the hosts . . . under such conditions of extensive unemployment, ambition is destroyed. resentment is aroused and anti-social behavior may result.” As for any war boom, “it is important to keep in mind that any degree of recovery which is based on the unsound foundation of foreign wars and price speculation will bring a deeper depression afterward.” Most of the child and youth problems are created or intensified by the poverty of two-thirds of America’s families.

Here are some of the facts and figures reported to the conference today—dry statistics covering the ‘tears of mothers and the blood of children: Every other child in America lives in a home where income is inadequate to provide a decent standard of living.

Early last year, the boy, now employed in a local factory, met the real daughter of his sister’s foster parents, and married her. They were divorced after living together 28 days. Meanwhile, the boy had met his sister, although he was unaware of the relationship, and began having dates with her, The foster parents told court investigators that they then intormed the youth of the relationship.

NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (UT P.).—

Mother-in-law trouble is at least 1356 years old. The discovery of a divorce contract, drawn up in. southern Palestine in 584 A. D., was announced today by Prof. Casper J. Kraemer Jr. chairman of the Classics Department of New York University. The contract said in part: “John, son of Wael, presbyter, and his wife Nonna, daughter of Johns, son of Kotemos, and with her mother ' Thekemis, brought us (seven judges) together. Ketween them many griefs were - stirred and arguments presented concerning points at issue. We, +» » all remained in order that | they might have witnesses and we argued with them at length to be reconciled with each other, but they were not deterred.”

CUT THREATENS WPA ROLL HERE

Lack of Sponsored Projects May Throw Many Out of Employment Soon.

A drastic reduction in Marion County WPA rolls and a consequent increase in the direct relief load, will result unless county sponsors provide additional projects, Posey B. Denning, district WPA manager, warned today. Because of the lack of sponsored projects, 3500 WPA workers in the county are awaiting assignment, he said, He’ attributed their plight to the failure of local governmental

units to plan far enough in the future. .500 Employed on Roads Ordinarily 50 per cent of the WPA employment, ‘whjch has been cut to 7500 in the county, depends on road construction work, the district manager said, but at present only 500 are employed on roads. “The forced release of many Marion County road workers has made it necessary to throw a heavy employment load on the flood control project, which is having a hard time meeting sponsors’ obligations set up by Congress,” Mr. Denning said “Because of this difficulty, 650 men employed on flood control work will have to be released soon. ~ Responsibility Is Local

“It is distinctly the responsibility of local officials to provide work relief projects and they must decide how much the individual improvement is needed in the community and how such work will take care of the unemployed. “Existing WPA quotas will permit the employment of additional workers in Marion County at-the present time, but failure of local sponsors to take full advantage of this fact may force many people back on direct relief.”

By UNITED PRESS The full fury of an Arctic-born cold wave gripped the United Staves today. The Chicago weather bureau said the only relief in sight was “a slight moderation in the Great Plains states and Iowa and Minnesota tomorrow.” A light snow accompanied the cold winds in scattered sections of Montana, ‘Wyoming, Kansas, Missouri and the Ohio River Valley, and temperatures of 15 to 30 degrees below zero were predicted for tonight and tomorrow. A forerunner of tomorrow's frigid weather were today’s sub-zero readings. It was 25 below zero in northern Iowa this morning. The airport thermometers at St. Joseph, Mo., showed 20 below and in Kansas City it was 11 below. Butte, Mont., reported 31 below, with the mercury tumbling 61 degrees in 24 hours.

In many instances it was the lowest temperature since 1936. The intense cold increased the work of relief agencies in the cities. There were hundreds of calls for fuel and for heavy clothing and food kitchens were worked overtime caring for homeless men. The Weather Bureau said the cold front was sweeping over the entire country and freezing weather is expected along the Gulf Coast bonight. At Jacksonville, Fla., the low reading today was 29, which is 20 degrees below normal. - The Weather Bureau said an extremely large mass of Arctic air had built up in the Canadian Northwest, where the temperatures last week were 54 degrees below zero. A low pressure area, moving eastward from the Pacific Coast, has spread this cold air over the entire country.

STRIKE, LOCKOUT END N. Y. COAL DELIVERY

Of 7 Firms Ask Pay Raise. |

NEW YORK, Jan. 18 (U. P.).— Coal deliveries had stopped in most of the city today, with the temperature hovering around 10 degrees, be- |, cause of a strike of drivers and a lockout by dealers. Local 553 of the International Brotherhood of ‘Teamsters and Chauffeurs (A. F. of L) had called a strike against some of the 100 dealers, demanding a wage increase for drivers. Michael J. Cashal, tinion president, said the strike had been directed against only the Central Coal Co. and its six affiliates, He said these firms handled only 15 per cent of the city coal supply, and that any stoppage of deliveries beyond that was due to a lockout by the dealers. Dan M. Rugg, dealers’ spokesman, who estimated only 10 per cent of the normal coal deliveries would’ be made today, said since the union had been bargaining with all dealers as a unit, “it had no right to ‘oiit one group.of mémbers of the Dealers’ Association for discrimination.” The stoppage was not affecting City electric light or power, nor the New York Steam Co., supplying most large office buildings and hotels. ‘The State Mediation Board had offered its services.
