Bible Manuscript
Fragments Found
Most Extensive Originals

of John's Gospel
BALTIMORE, Dee. U-JP)-A.
New York university archaeolo
gist today announced discovery In
southern Palestine of some of the
most extensive fragments of New
Testament manuscript yet to come
to light.
The announcement was made
by Dr. Lionel Ca&son In a paper
read at the closing session of the
22nd annual meeting of the
American Philoglcal association.
Dr. Casson said three fragments
of manuscript were? sjnearthed In
the ruins of a ehurca.and monas
tery at AuJa-n-HafbV last village
on the ancient, pilgramage route
to Mount Sinai.
The fragments were unearthed
by the Colt Archaeological expl
dltion in 193$ but were not iden
tified until this summer. H. Duns
combe Colt of New York was field
director of the expedition.
The fragments are In Greek on
papyrus. One consists of thirty
consecutive pages of the Gospel
according to 8t John, another is
from the same scripture and the
third contains scattered bits of
the epistles of St Paul.
Their date was placed as "ap
parently the last seventh century
A.D."
Biblical scholars at the conven
tion attached considerable Im
portance to the fragments as pos
sibly shedding more light on
early Bible manuscripts.

Tne concentration of British

ish artillery thundered steadily at
that vital Italian base In Libya.
Advanced motorized detach
ments went on clearing the coun

tured.
The number of fascist prisoners
of war in hand and counted was
put at 28,114, some 10,000 of
them non-Italians.
To these captives the British
attributed two stories that the
Italian defenders of Bardia, or

would turn that base into a "sec

strengthening the defenses of the

The reference to Alcazar was to
the 10-week defense of Spain's

From this airdrome, the minis

The channel was foggy.
While no nasi raiders had ap

of the war. Two hospitals were

said the number of casualties was

Although she made no formal

about a seore of written ques
tions submitted by delegates.
Her opinions on compulsory youth
service were expressed in reply
to a question dealing with a ma

Roosevelt administration support
ed the ISS summer work camps
for youth with the Idea of making
them compulsory
Asked If she believed this coun
try would become involved In
war she replied:
"At the present time I think
we should keep out of war, but
you can't make up your mind
and close It to changing clrcum
stances."
One questioner, referring to
another article in the same maga
zine (The New Masses), asked:
"Are you a fascist?"
Mrs. Roosevelt recalled that
several months ago the publica
tion had accused her of being a
"red." and added she considered
herself "probably pretty much In
the middle of the road."
A move to launch a nationwide
collegiate organization in oppo

President- Roosevelt worked long
hours today on the report on de
fense and aid to Britain to be
given, the nation tomorrow night
In a radio address which some of
ficials believed would be his most
Important since the European
war began.
As the chief executive revised
a rough draft dictated on Christ
mas eve, organizations ana indi
viduals continued to write and
telegraph suggestions for the talk,
and- a prominent democratic sena
tor wheeler ot Montana issued
a warning against cotng too tar
on the British help question lest
the United States become embroil
ed in the conflict.
Mr. Roosevelt took the letters.
data and memoranda, and a staff
ot stenographers to the huge cab
inet room so as to have ample
working space.
He paused only twice during
his work once to receive William
Phillips, who Is returning to his
post as ambassador to Italy, and
again to hear the latest report on
defenses production and related
subjects from William 8. Knud-
sen, director of the new office ot
production management.
Knudsen was reported official
ly to be Interested in how a new
and vast ship construction pro
gram would be. financed, but he
told reporters this was not dis
cussed and he merely was "re
porting" on the general program.
When Mr. Roosevelt broadcasts
from his study from 0:20 to 7
p.m. (PST) tomorrow over major
networks It will be his ISth "fire
side chat" since he entered the
White House.
The last was on May 21, 1940.
On that 8abbath day he denied
that billions being spent for de
fense were "going down the rat
hole," and begged the American
people to give generously In aid
of thousands of refugees running
from nazl Invaders In Norway,
Belgium, Holland and France.
Stephen T. Early, White House
press secretary, said today that all
but one or two individuals who
had written the president advo
cated aid to the British. Some of
the suggestions, he added, evident
ly-had been Inspired by "organ
isational work," Others he de
scribed as spontaneous appeals
from Individuals wising to have
their Ideas incorporated In tomor
row night's address.
"Quite a lot of suggestions for
the president's speech are coming
la from the most unexpected parts
of the country, and from people
really deeply Interested la the sit
uation," Early said. "It Is unus
ual In that I haven't seen It hap
pen before."
While the president worked.
Senator Wheeler expressed em
phatle opposition te the proposal
to lend or lease war equipment
and supplies to England.
"It the president has the right
to lease battleships, airplanes and
munitions." the senator declared,
"he can lend the bozs who are in
the army or who are being draft

other and one will lead to the
other."

against hoping too much for ex

Prof. Kenneth Duncan of Po

"Purchasing power of South
America la much overrated, he
said, "and It Is doubted whether
the United States can take the
place ot Europe as a buyer ot
South American products."
Robert Calkins of the Univer
