The British view | was that Russian assistance to Gerl!many had never amounted to more | than a “trickle” and they doubted that paper agreements would ap- | preciably change the situation. Berlin {ook a directly contrary | line; devoting its major attention to the Russian agreement which, it || was claimed, would bring unprece- | dented shipments of: foodstuffs and | vital raw materials to Germany. I The American plans were dismissed | as “too late” to avert a British defeat. Adolf Hitler's paper, the Voelkischer Beocbachter, refarred to Mr.

+! Roosevelt as a would-be “Messiah.”

All the German press published summaries of the Administration’s | proposals and the first comment on them was a charge by the Deutsche | Allgemeine Zeitung that the proposal for repair of foreign warships | in United States ports would be “a | direct violation of the Hague Con- | vention of 1907, in which the United | States joined.”

“Two Mightiest in Europe”

The important Italian newspaper Popolo. di Roma advanced the the- | sis that, the American people vp- | posed Mr. Roosevelt's “all-out”. aid | to Britain.

by Sweden and Russia to Germany. Izvestia said “some leading statesmen” of the United States and Great Britain were “juggling” international law by trying to place U. 5. war aid to Britain in the same category with Soviet cereal sales to Germany. The newspaper said that the Soviet. Union is ready to conclude trade agreements with any nations. belligerent or non-belligerent. Sir Stafford Cripps, British Ambassador, has discussed a trade agreement at the Kremlin repeatedly without avail. There were reports in London that Britain might now ask the United States to reduce or end Pacific shipments to Russia, lest the goods aid Germany.

Balkan Accord Hinted

The Russian press declared that Russo-German relations had been ruled by “friendship and mutual understanding” since the signing of the Berlin-Moscow pact on the eve of the war’s outbreak. ‘ There was no indication, as yet, that the new Russo-German agreements! covering trade, the new Lithuanian-German boundary and repatriation of German . nationals in the Baltic states implied that an understanding had been reached by the two countries concerning the Balkans.

Air Warfare

The joint Italo-German air attack on British fleet units was described as occurring off the south coast of Sicily, which has been reported to be the base of Nazi air reinforcements sent Italy. The German and Italian communiques left some uncertainty as to how many British warships were reported hit ‘but apparently the claim was that dive bombers had hit one aircraft carrier and a de-

Libyan Front

Operations around Tobruk today were.intended to prevent any escape of the Italians there to Derna, 130) miles away, or the arrival of any reinforcements from Derna. The British announced at Cairo that they killed and captured a total of 44,868 Italian officers and men in the siege of Bardia. This report brought known Italian casualties, killed, wounded or captured, since the start: of Britain’s desert Blitzkrieg to the neighborhood of 100,000 ‘men, while "it is believed that nire Italian divisions, totaling possibly 120,000 men—almost, half of Marshal Rudolfo Graziani's totel force—have been destroyed as effective military units.

CLAIMS FIRST LADY WANTS TO BE QUEEN

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11 (U! P.).--Rep. Clare E. Hoffman (R. Mich.) charged today that “the Roosevelts apparently have, in some way, gotten the idea that they are entitled to receive homage and applause as our king and queen.” In an 1l1-page statement attacking the first lady's criticism of Re-

publican members of Congress for their failure to applaud the President's address on the State of the Union Monday, Rep. Hoffman said : “She and the President have ertertained so many royalists from abroad that apparently they have come to believe that from all Amer ica should come unquestianing adulation.” Rep. Hoffman charged that Mrs. Roosevelt “has evidently reached that state of mind typical of dictators and tyrants; who cen see 10 other views but their own.” “Had Mrs. Roosevelt been an a¢curate observer,” he said, “she would have noticed that not only Republicans but Democrats sat silent during the greater part of the President's address.”

are normal acts. where there is no reason for serious controversy at the present time. The seeds of Baltic and Polish trouble are for future sprouting.

Slight Increase Expected

Exchange of Russian grain and oil for German machinery and other manufactures has been proceeding since the start of the war and before. A new treaty at this time for further exchanges does not change the situation, in any essential manner. Germany and Russia naturally are open to expanding their commerce, but maximum figures o possible quantities written into a treaty do not mean actual accomplishments. There are strict limits to the export abilities of both nations. Present demands of German war industries have seriously curtained the output of heavy industries for peace-time machinery: Germany

the manpower to manufacture goods for barter at present in large quantities.

Transportation Difficult

In recent barter negotiations with Central and Southeastern European countries, the Germans have had to arrange for postponed and postwar deliveries. The same condition must now prevail regarding barter with Russia. The Russians on their part, have been encountéring obstacles in delivering grain and oil to Germany since the war began. Transport, especially, has been difficult. Germany has been receiving some food supplies from Russia but certainly not in great quantities. The limitations are known because of rationing enforced on the German people. : Russian 0il, too, has been delivered only in comparatively moderate amounts. Surplus Doesn’t Exist It is not credible that Russia has suddenly acquired a heavy excess of grain and oil much beyond previous shipments to Germany and only treaty signatures have been necessary to release the new supplies. Even if some reorganization of transport will allow an increase in Russian export, it is fantastic for the German authorities to compare this with American possibilities of production. The essential Russo-German political problem remains unchanged despite any trade agreement. It concerns conflicting national interests in Southeastern Europe, and Asia Minor as well. The German encroachment on the Rumanian shore of the Black Sea is a special menace to Stalin which no satisfaction over a short term commercial treaty can counterbalance.

TSTEPHENSON'S ~ PLEA REFUSED

Governor Abides by Board ‘Decision in Refusing -Ex-Dragon Parole. {Continued from Page One) before the Commission during two SB ee 1s Vet, Tv

Oberholtzer was not due to the poison she took but to the infection

Mr. Remy said. “The evidence showed that her breast was badly mutilated, which she, in her dying statement, stated was caused by bites made by Stephenson. Many persons who did not hear the a have been led to believe that the death of Miss Oberholtzer was due to the poison. The doctors on the trial testified she would have recovered frem the poison, had it not been for the ‘infection caused by the mutilation of her breast.”

“Humiliated by Assault”

The former prosecutor said the evidence showed Miss Oberholtzer took poison because of the humiliation of the assault. : Mr. Remy testified that the character of Miss Oberholtzer “has frequently been questioned by those who favored Mr. Stephenson's release “They had ample opportunity at the trial to attack the girl's reputation and they could mot.do so,” he said. “I made a searching investigation of Madge Oberholtzer’s character. I could find no blemish there.” The former prosecutor told the Commission also that Stephenson's charge that he did not have a fair trial has been before the courts “on numerous occasions” and “on every occasion he has either withdrawn his charges or the courts have decided against him.” “The judge who presided in his case was a gentleman of unquestioned probity, since elevated to a judgeship on the U. S. Court of Appeals, whose reputation for integrity has never been assailed,” he said.

Judges’ Politics Vary

“The judges who have since passed upon Stephenson’s case have been members of both political parties and so far as I know have been men of integrity. “At least three different Attorneys General of Indiana, representing both political parties, after careful investigation, have opposed his release. “I do not believe, therefore, that the question of the guilt of Stephenson has ever been successfully challenged and I do not believe this board would have any justification for paroling the prisoner on the theory that his guilt has not been established. “If the board feels that under all the circumstances Stephenson has served enough time, I shall not object to any action it may see fic to take. “I believe that Stephenson has, by his own acts, done more to delay a parole than any other person and that if he had not continually kept himself in the headlines by his numerous court actions, he might have been free before this.” Attorney General Samuel D. Jackson - opposed a parole in his testimony before the Commission Thursday. He offered the Commission‘ official records which he said were “tendered as adverse to the petitioner's interests.” “The Attorney General's office, through my predecessors and through me, has vigorously resisted these numerous attempts of this applicant to be set at liberty and I wo i this policy,” Mr. Jackson said. Relatives of the murder victim, including Mrs. Matilda Oberholtzer, the girl's’ mother and Marshall Oberholtzer, the victim's brother, testified in protest of a parole. The parole petition was sponsored by George Weber, South Bend manufacturer, and Alban Smith, La Porte attorney, who has handled litigation for Stephenson for many years. Mr. Smith, when informed of the Governor's verdict, declined to comment. He refused to say whether another petition might be presented to the new Clemency Commission after Governor-elect Henry F. Schricker takes office next Monday.

said they returned to the hotel, where Mr. Penner conferred briefly with his attorney and retired about 4 a. m. Yesterday afternoon, Mrs. Penner went to her husband's room: A piercing scream over the telephone brought Mr. Crawford running to the room, where he found Mrs. Penner shaking the comedian to rouse him from what she believed was a deep sleep. After- an autopsy coroner's officials said he had been dead 10 hours. Mr. Penner was born Josef Pinter on Nov. 11, 1904, at the village of Magybeck Kereck, near Budapest, Hungary. He came to the United States in 1913 and began a theatrical career which carried him through amateur contests to carnival work and then to the stage, screen and radio. The major break of his career came in 1933 when he appeared as a guest on Rudy Vallee'’s radio program. Quickly he became a star in his own right, with the meaningless “Wanna buy a duck” becoming nationally known. Dropped from first to third place among radio comedians in 1934, he said he “saw the handwriting on the wall” and planned a new career. He made several full-length motion pictures in which the duck routine gradually was written out, and enthusiastically accepted an offer to play the star role in “Yokel Boy.” He made his last appearance Thursday night. The show was closed last night and officials said it was not likely to be reopened. Mrs. Penner, who was under a physician’s care, planned to leave for Hollywood today with the Crawfords, and the comedian’s body was expected to go on the same train. Mrs. Crawford said services probably would be held next week.

YOUNG GOP LEADER

Indiana’s Republican legislators have no intention of stripping Gov-ernor-elect Schricker of his rightful powers, Robert H. Loring, Indiana’s Young Republican national committeeman, declared here last night, He spoke fo the Washington Township Republican Club at its clubrooms, 61st St.. and College Ave. “The purpose of the Republican members of both houses is to carry out their promise to the people to end ‘one-man-rule’ in Indiana,” Mr. Lory declared. “If these measures be unconstitutional in the eyes of the Democratic Supreme Court, then Indiana has operated under unconstitutional government from its first'days of statehood up until the inauguration. of one Paul V.
