(AP) German patrols battered French outpost from the Moselle to the Rhine today, con tinuing a series of thmsta reported to have cost the nazls "hundreds" of casualties in the last three days without gaining "an Inch of ground." French advices, which told of "very hot" action In one unidentified see tor during the night, aald the latest assault had been repulsed despite heavy preparation by German artil lery. French Losses Light At no point had the Germans been successful In attempts to take pris oners, according to these reports. The French, entrenched In positions from which they raked the advancing Oermana with machine gun f lie, de scribed their own losses as "slight. Aa the fighting Increased In scope, with artillery thundering along the 100-mile front, the weather which has been foggy and rainy suddenly turned cold. , The heaviest German assaults. It was Indicated, have occurred In the Yiclnlty of Saarbruecken and Ptrma ens, where the French have driven closest to the outer fortifications of .the Siegfried line. Bitter fighting also waa reported In the area between the Moselle and Saar rivers on the French left wing. At some points In these sectors there la a gap or 10 to 14 miles be tween the French advance positions on Gorman soil and the Mafjlnot line. Heavy Loss Prospect Soma French military experts esti mated that to attack the Mag I not line with any hope of success Ger many would have to throw SO divis ions (about 760,000 men) into the assault, with the prospect of losing 060.OOO men. Negotiations under way between Finland and Soviet Russia caused considerable speculation In French circles. Some press commentators suggested Adolf Hitler might have an understanding with Russln where by the soviet would fore the hand of neutral Scandinavian countries In an effort to compel them to cut their trade with the allies and divert their supplies to Germany. These commentators also raised the question of whether France and Brit ain could continue to treat Russia as a neutral If she clashes with Finland. LA FOLLETTE SEES DEFENSE CRIPPLED IF MONITIONS SOLD (continued iwm page one) RATS NOW USED IN POLIO TESTS WASH INOTON ( UP ) The U. S. public health service, facing a short age of Imported monkeys because of the war, has successfully conducted Infantile paralysis serum experiment on eastern cotton rats. "The discovery Is especially timely since the war will Interfere with the Importation of monkeys, which to date have been t.ie only susceptible experimental animals for Infantile paralysis." Surgeon General Thomas Parran said. Dr. Parran said that the virus which causes the disease baa been carried through seven transfers in the rodents. Symptoms produced In the rats were Ulentlrnl to those observed In children In that one or more of the limbs or respiratory muscles were paralyzed, he said. "The discovery of a cheap, easily handled experimental anlmnl that can be readily reared In captivity may be expected to facilitate further studies of infantile pnrnlvMs. includ ing the search for a poeMbt cure " ; (V ' 1 J L U.

A native of Colorado, he'll represent depart ment at oil monooolv hrarinr. minlatratlon's neutrality bill would disrupt American commerce and "de stroy much of the American merchnnt marine." He mode the assertion in a state ment prepared from data supplied by the maritime commission. Chairman Plttman (D-Nev.) of the foreign relations committee put the statement In it9 senate record at the opening of today's session. Pitt- man snld although ho did not agree with Bailey's estimate of potential losses to shipping, he considered It an able statement. Would Disrupt Shipping "Undoubtedly tho most far-reach ing provision of the pending bill." Bailey sold, "Is the prohibition against shipping any article or material In American vessels to a belligerent country. It appears this provision will disrupt American commerce and will destroy much of tho American mer chant marine." Senator Billow (D-S.D.) opened the eighth day of debate on the neu trality bill with the argument a de sire on the part of some people to profit on munitions sales was partly responsible for efforts to repeal the arms embargo. "We cannot close our eyes to the fact that there are people In this country who are Interested In making a profit." Butow said. "They want to sell guns and make a profit even If those guns bathe the earth In mothers' tears." He asserted the administration's bill was not likely to protect United States neutrality. Many, he continued, had urged repeal of the embargo so this country could aid England and France. "If we decide to do that," he de clared, "well and good, but that Is not a neutrality bill."
