Promised Ohio
Washington, Dec. 21 (JPi John
Owens, head of the Ohio CIO coun
cil, said President Roosevelt told him
today he was prepared to send army
soup kitchens Into that state if It
becomes necessarv. to prevent star
vation among relief clients.
Owens left with the president a
formal statement bitterly complain
ing of the relief situation in Ohio,
saying the amount spent for home
relief of the needy did not equal
that provided for monkeys in the
zoo.
Owens emphasized that the presi
dent's promise of army kitchens
would ba carried out only if such a
step was necessary to prevent star
vation. The president told him that if
starvation occurred he would act
just as he did in the Mississippi
and Ohio floods, Owens said, by
sending army kitchens Into the
state to be supervised by the WPA.
Informed of Owens' announce
ment, Cleeland's Mayor Harold H.
Burton said:
"The situation in Cleveland is ade

Depends On Vote
Rome, Dec. 21 (P) Italian author

they could remain on their ancestral

than German, citizenship. .
An agreement between Italy and
Germany, published today, covering
the migration to Germany of all
former Austrlans who prefer Ger
man citizenship, quieted the fears of
many that they would be compelled
to quit their native mountains even

This supplemented an earlier German-Italian
pact for repatriation of
Germans in the Tyrol, which Italy

$75,000 Heart Balm
Refused by Court
Los Angeles, Dec. 21 (P) Superior
Judge Samuel R. Blake today denied
Mrs. Alma Alderman s claim against
singer Ruth Etting for $75,000 heart
balm. He held Miss Etting did not
wrongfully prejudice Myrl Alder
man, whom Ruth later married,
against his wife.
In a lengthy decision handed down
after nearly five months' delibera
tion, Judge Blake held that Mrs. Al
derman, during the trial of her
alienation of affections suit, had
failed to prove that the love of her
husband had been stolen by Miss
Etting.
He declared that the evidence was
insufficient to show that the mo
tives of Miss Etting "were improper
or that Miss Etting knew of an al
leged reconciliation between Alder
man and his wife."

At least that's the opinion of

T don't believe there will be
any extremely short skirts or funny
looking hats," she said today as
she left on the Dixie Clipper for

Any other style extremes evol
ving from the war?
"In times like these we may be
very quiet or very mad," she re

tnmK so.
"Men don't like to see women
dressed in military styles. They
see enough of that sort of thing

objectives of the new deal should
and would be preserved if there is
a republican victory in 1940.
Vandenberg, who has been men
tioned as a possibility for the next
republican presidential nomination,
said "eight years of the new deal
have launched certain social con
cepts which, in their objectives,
cannot and should not be reversed.
He added, however, "wishbone al
truism has got to give way to back
bone practicality," and he believed
"1640 is America's last chance to
balance sense and sentiment."
In the article, entitled "The new
deal must be salvaged," Vandenberg
said federal responsibility for re
lief was "a national problem, and
it must be treated as such.
War Handicaps
Weather Service
Washington, Dec. 21 (U.R) Meteor
ology, an international science, has
been seriously handicapped as a re
sult of the European war, the an
nual report of the chief of the U. S.
weather bureau said today.
Weather forecasting depends on
knowledge of the characteristics of
air masses over other continents and
distant oceans, F. W. Reichelderler,
weather bureau chief, reported.
"Immediately after .war was de
clared In Europe, however," he said,
"the twice daily broadcasts from
Rugby, England, on European wea

value in war moves."
Britain Disputes
Neutral Zones
London, Dec. 21 (IP) The British
government was understood Unlay
to feel that the British navy has a
right to fii?ht battle anywhere on
the international seas, regardlc.-a of
the Pan-American 300-mile neutrali
ty "safety zone."
Discussion of whether the battle
between the German pocket battle
ship Admiral Graf Spee and three
British cruisers off the coast of
Uruguay last week violated the neu
trality position of the United States
and other American republics is
carefully avoided here.
Since the "safety zone" belt
around the Americas was established
by the Panama declaration of Octo
ber 3, repeated inquiries here on
whether the zone would be observed
have been smilingly and adroitly
evaded.
The British contention Is under
stood to he that, although they re
ceived formal notice of the Pan-
American declaration, there never
has been formal notice of implemen
tation of the neutrality zone.
The feeling in British circles is
that If the alms of the zone could
be enforced, it would work to the
advantage of the allies, and they
would favor iU 1

Dam Authority
Assailed by
Ira Davisson
Tacoma, Dec. 21 (IP) The Bonne
ville power authority was bitterly
criticized before the Tacoma city
council Wednesday by Ira S. Da
visson, public utilities commissioner
who is seeking to enlarge the Ta
coma Light company.
Davisson, proposing a $150,000 ap
propriation for the city light de
velopment fund, had his motion
tabled until tomorrow after other
city officials said they wanted to
confer further with Bonneville of
ficials concerning the possible pur
chase of Bonneville power.
Pounding the council table heat
edly, Davisson declared:
"Bonneville officials hope they
can break down the power rates Ta
coma already has. They hope to get
them up to what Bonneville can sell
power for.
"It's impossible for Bonneville
power to be brought here and sold
as cheaply as Tacoma power. They
(the officials) told us they couldn't
make power as cheaply as we are.
They offer .five and ten year con
tracts and you have to use the load
your contract calls for 80 per cent
of the time or the contract rata
rate doesn't apply."
Mayor J, J. Kaufman said the
Pennsylvania Salt company, which
has announced it Is considering
moving to a Bonneville site, "might
build in Tacoma if it could get a
lower industrial power rate than
Tacoma now offers."
