North and Central Fronts, but in the

isthmus, bogging all transport under heavy snow. ‘Then, the Finns said, there should be the thaw, which also would help them to hold off the Russian attacks. Bombing of the Swedish town of Pajala, on the Finnish frontier, appeared to have been accidental, but there was the possibility that it would stiffen demands in Sweden for more direct aid to the Finns, The Russian planes dropped 30 explosive bombs and “hundreds of incendiary bombs,” Maybr George Taube of Pajala reported.

Church Is Damaged

The church at Pajala was damaged by a bomb and three houses were destroyed, Mayor Taube said. Others were set afire and were burning long after the raid. Windows in other houses were shattered by the explosions. The Mayor said that the Russians bombed Pajala from an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet. Stockholm dispatches reported that the Sheriff at Luleaa said he believed the Russians were in seven planes and had lost their way. He expressed the belief that the Russians thought they were bombing a town on the Finnish side of the frontier from Pajala which is five miles from the border. Reports from Bergen, meanwhile, said that British warships were off the Norwegian coast and that German ships had been sighted at an unspecified point.

British Near Petsamo

One message said that a British squadron was cruising off the North Norwegian Coast, not far from the Petsamo area of Finland which is occupied by the Russians. A severe air battle was reported in dispatches from the town of Kirkenaes, on the Norwegian-~ Finnish frontier, but the nationality of the planes—said to be battling over the Petsamo region—was uncertain. Coastal reports concerning naval activity off Norway were fragmentary and did not immediately clarify developments, but there was nothing to indicate a naval conflict. Nor was it known definitely whether German warships or merchant ships were involved.

Nazis Using Murmansk

In the past, a number of German merchant ships have gone to the Russian Arctic port of Murmansk and from there have slipped down the Norwegian coast and through the Allied blockade to Germany. The $20,000,000 liner Bremen reached home in that way. There also have been unconfirmed reports that German submarines were operating out of Murmansk. Officials said that the number of ships in the British squadron was not known. Weather conditions over the North Sea—scene of greatest warfare between Germany and Britain—were improving, however, and the sea war was booming again. The London Air Ministry announced that Royal Air Force planes had made success-

' ful flights over the German coastal

bases around Helgoland after a week in which Allied and neutral shipping suffered heavy loses due to Nazi submarine and mine attacks. From Rotterdam, dispatches added still another shipping casualty— the Netherlands steamship Tara of 4760 tons, which radioed that she was sinking after an explosion off the French Coast. The Admiralty in London announced today that total casualties in the torpedoing of the British destroyer Daring were 156 missing and believe drowned. The total included nine officers among whom was Comm. S. A. Cooper; 145 enlisted men, and two members of the staff of the Navy, Army and Air Force Institute. The neutral countries continued in a precarious situation between the big belligerents. The German press continued its stern warnings

to the Reich’s little neighbors. The Nazi Party newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter again criticized the newspapers of Belgium, Holland and Switzerland and asked whether there was any guarantee that the neutrality of the little countries would not change tomorrow. Britain and France paid no attention to Norwegian protests against invasion of her territorial waters in the Altmark incident and, on the contrary, indirectly threatensd to police northern neutral waters themselves in order to make certain that they were not used for belligerent purposes. All organizations for volunteer aid to Finland worked at full speed in Sweden today despite formal statements of neutrality by King Gustaf and the Government. Every effort was made to assemble money and food. Funds for planes for Finland increased daily} and it was asserted that planes, manned by Swedish pilots, would be on the way to Finland soon. (The newspaper National Tidende of Copenhagen reported that professors of the University of Lund, at Lund, Sweden, had urged students to volunteer.)

Urge Statement of Policy

King Gustaf’s Finnish declaration was: believed to have weakened opposition to the Government, on its policy. Nevertheless, there was a strong undercurrent demand for full clarification of Sweden’s position. Newspapers began to demand that Premier Per Albin Hansson make a declaration before Parliament giving a clear explanation of his Finnish policy and his reasons for it. Scandinavian policy in the Rus-so-Finnish war was expected to play an important part in the conference to be held at Copenhagen Saturday by the foreign ministers of Sweden, Norway and Denmark.

ALLIES AND TURKEY READY FOR ALLIANGE

ISTANBUL, Turkey, Feb. 21 (U. P.) —Groundwork has been completed for close collaboration of the ‘furkish and Allied high commands in event of war in the Near East and a decision on what action Turkish, British and French forces shall take in event of given developments is now being considered, a reliable foreign diplomatic source said today. This news followed a warning by the authoritative newspaper Yeni Sabah that Turkey would enter thie war the day any foreign country marched on the Balkans. Germany was mentioned as a possible aggressor. In connection with invocation of the national defense law and other signs that Turkey is preparing for action, it was learned that President Ismet Inonu is to visit important areas soon, including Thrace. fhe newspaper Giornale D’Italia of Rome reported that about 50 British officers had arrived in Thrace to aid in reinforcing defenses of Adrianople (Edirne) and ‘Kirk Kilissa (Kirkarali), near the Bulgarian frontier in Thrace.)

OWNER RETAINS LOT IN BARRETT LAW SUIT

The City Legal Department informed the Works Board today that a suit to quiet title to a piece of property at the southwest corner of 16th Place and Missouri St. has been decided in favor of Jesse C. Moore, 1821 N. Pennsylvania St. The property was claimed by the City as part of a series of lots which were deeded to the City for delinquent Barrett Law assessments. Superior Court Judge Henry O. Goett awarded full title to the property to Mr. Moore upon the owner’s payment of $163.82, the amount of the Barrett law charge against the property. The lot is No. 111 in Al-

LOSSES SOAR TO WAR'S NEW HIGH

IR. A. F Planes Fly over|

‘Nazi North Sea Base; Driven Off, Says Reich.

LONDON, Feb. 21 (U.P thorities said today that although

15 neutral ships in the week ending Feb. 18, the odds were still 472

ship: that avails herself of a British

convoy. It was ‘admitted that Germany's unrestricted U-boat warfare had reached seriéus proportions, but the

planes had made successful recon-

- |naissance flights over the German

Non Sea base of Helgoland last ht (The German High Command in Berlin in its communique. today said that enemy planes which atto enter the area over Helgojand Bight last night had been. driven off. The High Command said that in approaching | Helgoland the planes had .violated Netherlands territory.) :

Losses Reach Peak

The losses for the week ended Feb. 18 were the largest of the war. However, it was pointed out that at least four, and possibly six U-boats were sunk in that time, as evidence that the British Navy was not idle. A radio message said today that the Netherlands ‘Steamship Tara, 4760 tons, carrying grain for the Netherlands Government, was sink-

explosion. “ : The message, from the ship’s captain to the owners, said: “Ship sinking owing to explosion. Position * 60 miles - southwest + of Finisterre.” Sisters is the headland at the wes ost point of ‘France. :No word had been received of the fate of the Tara’s crew of 34. The Government is rushing plans, already announced in Commons, to arm all British trawlers and merchantment against attacks such as occurred along the east coast yesterday; when German planes raided shipping from -the Firth of Forth to: the coast of South Essex, apparently in retaliation for the Altmark incident.

Fishing Boats 'Bombed

‘Many trawlers and fishing “boats were ‘bombed and machine-gunned, although few casualties were reported. Eleven survivors of a Norwegian ship, said to be the Steinstad, torpedoed off the west coast of Eire last Thursday, landed on an island off Eire last night after having drifted five days in an open boat. Thirteen other members of the crew, who ‘took to" ‘another boat, were missing. A Norwegian note on the rescue of British seamen from the German steamer Altmark in Norwegian waters was expected at the Foreign Office today and it was forecast that it would disclose directly opposite views of the incident. The right of a belligerent warship to carry prisoners through neutral territorial waters was now the main issue. Britain holds that under Article XII of the 13th Hague Convention of 1907 belligerent warships are not permitted to remain in a neutral port or roadstead or in territorial waters for more than 24 hours.

Newspapers Disappointed

It was asserted that Norway had admitted that the Altmark had been in Norwegian waters for 48 hours before the prisoners were rescued. Norwegian newspapers expressed deep disappointment today over Great Britain's attitude toward its rescue of the British seamen. A statement yesterday by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain, Justifying the rescue was held to show that Britain had no conception of Norway's view. “We realize the situation,” said the newspaper Morgenbladet, “one great power resembles another when its relations to small states are concerned.” Foreign Minister Halvdan Koht, in a further statement on the incident, said last night that Norway

pressure from either Germany or the Allies. He said that the Altmark was to-be considered a warship and that it was entitled to pass through Norwegian waters Withouy examination.

Say Deutschland or Scheer in S. Atlantic

MONTEVIDEO, Feb. 21 (U. P) — The newspaper El Pueblo, reported for the second successive day today that either the Deutschland or the, Admiral ‘Scheer, German pocket battleships, was raiding in South Atlantic - waters. El Pueblo, .a pro-Government organ, did not give Hie source of its reports.

Screaming Jungle Beasts Die in Rochester Circus Fire

(Continued from Page One)

and fed by hundreds of tons of loose hay, it swept through the main building of the winter quarters. Jesse Adkins and Zack Terrell, owners of the circus, led their men in to save what animals they could. Mr. Terrell suffered a slight heart attack and had to be taken home. “It was impossible to get the caged beasts out because of the rapidity with which the flames spread,” Mr. Terrell said. “They couldn’t be turned loose in the town. Those poor trapped animals roared and . screamed as the flames enveloped them. It was awful— awful. But there was nothing that could be done.” Many of the charred beasts had been returned only yesterday from a winter show at Detroit. Other beasts had been moved from Rochester and Detroit to Cleveland for another show and thus escaped. The fire also destroyed 20 parade wagons. Five tractors, and “much other circus equipment. Mr. Adkins and Mr. Terrell estimated their loss at $150,000. They sdid the circus would tour this summer despite the fire. Assistant Fire Chief Art Smith of Rochester asserted that he could find no evidence of arson and added “your guess is as good as mine:as ‘to what did cause the fire. William ‘Hindle, Deputy State Fire Marshal from Indianapolis, substantiated Smith's statement that arson was doubtful. He said, however, that he would continue an investigation of a circus employee’s statement that an odor of oily rags was detectable when the blaze first was discovered. Mr. Adkins said new while. was installed in the winter quarters yesterday. He speculated that .the

tlements, failed to supply the Long faction with their customary overs

He carried the north Louisiana

country, where Huey and ‘Earl Lo

were raised, and was being herald in the rural areas as a new political

| Messiah.

New Governor Is Lawyer

The votes for Mr. Jones, & a lawyer of Lake Charles, La. was interpre= ted as a protest against the scandals which have involved Huey Long’s

‘| heirs. Of the four men left in power

by Huey Long's death in 1933, three have been indicted and two econvicted of Federal charges in cone nection with the looting of public funds and properties. Abraham . LI. Shushan, former president of the New Orleans Levee Board, has been convicted of using

‘the mails to defraud in connection

with state graft. Seymour Weiss, president| of the New Orleans Dock Board, hotel operator, confidant of Huey Long and treasurer of the machine, had been convicted of using the mails to defraud in connection with Louisie ana State University graft. Former Governor Leche, whom - the machine elected Governor after Long’s death, had been indicted on hot-0il and graft charges. Only Mayor Robert S.!Maestri of New Orleans survives” of the one-time “Big Four.”

New Orleans /Backs Long

Governor Long. had been a bite ter political foe of Huey’s and was never anything politically until the master minds of the machine, wanting the magic name of Long, elected him Lieutenant Governor and let him become Governor last summer when Leche resigned under fire. Earl and Huey had exchanged words many times. After Huey’s death, Earl claimed there had been a death-bed reconciliation, : The same’ “silk-stocking” wards of New Orleans that always opposed Huey Long went for Mr, Jones yesterday. The bulk of the city vote went for Governor Long, however, since the city, under Mayor Maestri, is controlled by the machine. The revolt in ‘the country took the Long faction by surprise. Shortly after midnight Jones announced: “Returns conclusively show that I am the next Governor of Louisiana. God willing and with the help of the people I will achieve the fulfillment of this plan.” : Today Mr. Jones appealed to his watchers to stay at the polls until the last vote was tabulated. The election was one of the most orderly in many years. The 3500 National Guardsmen mobilized by Governor Long to handle any disturbances in the larger cities were not called from their barracks. The 1500 special policemen, armed and assigned to the New Orleans polls by Mayor Maestri, had no calls on their services. One free-for-all fight broke out between members of the “Jackson Brigade,” and followers of Mr. Long over the taking of pictures at a polling booth. Oscar Valeton, photographer, and Russ Kintzley, reporter for the

ay. had not been insisted properly

Times-Picayune, were beaten when they went to investigate the tight.
