Holiday Toll in Nation Now 405
By UNITED PRESS
Violent death echoed a sober overtone to the nation’s Christmas joys as at least 405 persons died in traffic accidents, fire, suicide and slayings over the holiday. The toll of at least 272 traffic fatalities since Christmas Eve was viewed gravely by the National Safety Council, which renewed a warning against “drinking and driving” during the Christmas-to-New Year’s week. Many of those killed on the roads were en route to or from Christmas festivities. California Toll Biggest Airplane crashes, train-auto collisions and suicide were other principal agencies of death—Kkilling at least 100 persons. California’s toll was greatest of the states with 39 dead, 33 of them on the roads. New York counted 29 dead, Pennsylvania 28, Texas 28, Illinois 26 and Ohio 25. Seven persons were killed in one accident at Ways Station, Ga., and seven more died in a collision near Lexington, Neb. Four Zion, III. high school students en route to Kenosha, Wis., to sing carols at a church celebration, died in another highway accident.
Dies of Excitement
Maurice Krummery, 10, died at a farm near Hastings, Mich. The coroner said his death was caused by a heart attack induced by excitement over his Christmas presents. : Two Youngstown, O., men were killed and a pilot injured when a private plane crashed at the Youngstown Airport.
HOPSON SNORES AS LAWYER MAKES PLEA
NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (U. P.).— Howard C. Hopson snored gently in Federal Court today while his attorney made a two-and-a-half-hour » summation of his defense against charges that Hopson milked the +» huge Associated Gas and Eleetric . System of $20,000,000. : Hopson and two attorneys, Garrett Brownback and Charles M. Travis, are on trial charged with mail fraud and conspiracy. Fred A. Ironside, attorney for Hopson, said there was something odd in the Government's bringing the charges now when the alleged crimes were supposed to have started in 1922. He said witnesses had forgotten half of the stories they were supposed to remember in the years between.

RAPS PROPOSAL T0 SEIZE SHIPS
‘Would Be Act of War Involving U. S. in Conflict, Woodruff Says.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26 (U. P.) — Rep. Roy O. Woodruff (R. Mich.) charged in the House ‘today that proposed seizure by this Government of idle German and Italian steamships in American ports for use by the British would be “an act of war’ which would involve this nation in the European conflict. “If this proposal emanated, as some of the best informed Washington observers understand that it did, from the British, the purposes are plain,” Rep. Woodruff said. “There is no question among the authorities on international law but that such an act would be an act of war. “Being an act of war, it would be almost impossible for Germany and Italy to refrain from recognizing it as such and acting accordingly. That would involve Japan, of course. That would mean, from the British angle, that the United States would be in the war with all our men as
‘well as all our money.
“To call such an act as this a ‘measure short of war’ is merely to
_|insult the public intelligence.”

United States Destroyer Branch rode at Christmas anchor today in
| this peaceful landlocked estuary of Northern Ixeland.
oN It is only a momentary hiatus for the Branch. By the time this dispatch reaches you, the destroyer will be back at work again. J I am spending Christmas aboard the old Branch. She had a dirty passing all the way across the Atlantic. Half the time she ploughed in the troughs with her screw racing and her yardarm fanning the skies. The other half she was poised on her rudder, shuddering in the foaming seas that swept her flush decks from stem to stern,
Bulkheads Creak
The destroyer’s bulkheads creaked under the terrific pounding and the crew was ‘shaken until their teeth ached. After her crossing, needed some minor repairs. On Christmas eve, a dull, gray; wet cold and fog-bound Christmas eve, she rested in quiet waters where the twinkling lights of Eire could be seen up-river and close to the food, warmth and cheer of a northern Ireland port. But the destroyer’s pilot would not take us up the river in the fog and prospects were for a grim Christmas. off-shore. Then, tactful advances were made to a rusty British freighter also lying at the river mouth and a supply of fresh meat, vegetables and bread—even a turkey—were assured” for Christmas. dinner.
Boatman Brings Goose
Gloom was still thick in the wardroom when an Eire boatman came alongside with a fat goose, a Christmas pudding, butter, eggs and fresh vegetables. By the time the colors were run up = this. morning the destroyer buzzed with Christmas preparations. The ship’s galley teemed with the odor of Christmas dinner for 130 officers and men and this single American newspaperman. Christmas aboard a warship is steeped in ancient British sea traditions. ' The day started with an assembly of the ship's company on deck for prayer under the white ensign of the Royal Navy that flapped in the breeze.

It is possible that Italy has secretly asked Herr Hitler to create a double diversion in the Balkans, hoping to lessen Greek pressure in Albania and British pressure in Libya. A German military concentration in Rumania, threatening Greece and the Dardanelles, might

] Women Are Fifth Column’ Near Ft. Benning;
~ Columbus Cleans Up, but Phenix City Resists
By PETE CRAIG Times Special -Writer
COLUMBUS, Ga, Bec. 26.—Army officers and leading citizens of this defense boom town hope to emerge soon with a long-time plan for alleviating local ~ vice conditions “brought on by the rapid expansion of near-by Ft. Benning. The real Fifth Columnists of the community are the women camp followers who filter into town on pay days, do their deadly work in silence, and then thumb their way back home till the next pay day rolls round. And the extent of their operations will be known only when the monthly medical reports are compiled. ; Columbus itself, nearest town t Ft. Benning’s 60,000 men, is pretty well restrained, but across the river in Phenix City, Ala., has arisen a problem typical of that faced by all large army camps. Unscrupulous and greedy proprieters have quickly set up shady establishments designed to take soldiers’ pay with maximum efficiency and minimum _ regard for the soldiers’ welfare. The situation around Ft. Benning has become so flagrant that Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson himself has referred to its as an out‘standing example, and Gen. Lloyd Friedendall, Ft. Benning commandant, has had to write Governor Dixon of Alabama asking for additional police help in cleaning up vice conditions across the Chattahoochee River from the fori. More than 100 military police tour the Phenix City joints in a flying wedge from time to time. The whdle district was once placed “out of _ pounds” for troops. But the cupidity
urge of certain types of women to
blossoms in great quantities have thus far balked all efforts at cleanp.
Specially trained military police squads “ride herd” on the known joints on pay days. The police are stationed in pairs in the joints themselves and cruise the whole Phenix City and suburban Columbus areas in trucks. The trucks stop in front of a “spot” marked on the map of the lieutenant in command of the detachment, and, armed with nightsticks and pistols, the police form a flying wedge with the lieutenant at the apex. Into the joint they crash, looking over the situation and asking questions. Dead silence always greets the arrival of such a patrol. But any soldiers engaged in riotous conduct or giving evidence of too close association with the bottle are rounded up, packed into the trucks and taken back to camp to await disciplinary action by their company commanders. Columbus is too small to have normal recreational facilities for the men at Ft. Benning. Much of the whoopee is therefore pretty impromptu, and presents a graver problem than established “joints” would constitute. Not all the places of soldier recreation dre vicibus. Directly across the line of the military reservations are restaurants and “juke joints” where the soldier on leave can take his ease, play the nickel “juke boxes”. for music, and have a beer or two. In some of these, the girls who serve the beer will dance with

“The hoss takes the girls home himself,” offered a bartender, “because the Army authorities are awful strict. But the boss doesn’t know what they do when they get home, and he doesn’t care.” : Columbus rounded up 200 vagrant women not long ago, those from out of the state were released on their promise to leave the city. But more keep drifting in. : : The farther you get from the military reservation, the tougher the joints become. Just across the bridge in Alabama, you will find fiattered-faced lookouts at the doors of dives, games of “knuckle rummy” in full swing with one man dragging down the house’s “take,” guards at bars with nasty looking short-bar-reled pistols in holsters. Columbus is planning further cleanup steps after the holidays, but Phenix City remains a problem. Army officers of long experience have doubts of any measures beyond control and inspection, for they say that where there are soldiers with pay, there will be women, gamblers and bartenders just as inevitably as night fellows day. The problem revealed so starkly in communities near Ft, Benning is evident around every large camp. Chief of Staff Gen. George C. Marshall has several times appealed for co-operation in restricting and regulating these resorts of soldier relaxation, and the army as a whole has been appealing to civilian agencies like the Y.!M. C. A., Knights of Columbus, Salvation Army, and others, to provide facilities for soldiers on leave, so that they will have some alternative to risking both their pay and their health in greed-promoted. dives. i
