Army Operations Are Only
Against The Mannerheim
Clique Moscow Reports
Moscow, Dec. 16. (P) So
viet Russia, in an authorized
statement on her expulsion by
the League of Nations, declared
today she was 'not "waging or
Interested In waging a war
against Finland."
The statement released by
Tail, official news agency
blamed France and Britain for
Russia's ousting and asserted
army operations in Finland
were aimed at the "bankrupt
Finnish rulers of the Manner-
helm clique V
(Field Marshal Baron Carl
Gustaf Mannerheim is head of
the Finnish national defense
council.)
Asserting that the communist
"people's government of the
democratic republic of Finland1
was the legitimate government
of Finland, the statement main
tained that Russia's relations
with her little neighbor were
"peaceful and friendly."
(After Russia invaded Fin
land, a communist-headed peo
ple's government" was set up
in Terijoki, a Finnish town near
the frontier and Russia signed
a mutual assistance pact with
this regime.)
Asserting that "ruling circles
of Britain and France" dictated
the league decision to oust Rus
sia, the statement said the allies
have neither the moral nor
the formal right to talk about
'aggression' of the U. S. S. R.
nor condemn this aggression."
"It must be noted that the
pact of mutual assistance and
friendship between the U. S. S.
R. and the Republic of Finland

Winnie Ruth Judd Again Back in Pheonix
WW
Winnie Ruih Judd, trunk murderess. Is shown with two matrons when she was re
turned to the Arlsona state Insane hospital at Phoenix following her capture at Yuma,
Arli., on the 12th day of her second escape from the hosoiial. She said she had tmrfn.H
all but 20 miles of the 200 ml les across the desert since she vanished.
Phoenix, Ariz., Dec. 16. (Pi
Winnie Ruth Judd's plea that
she be given another trial In
order that she might disclose
the Identity of two accomplices,
fell on deaf ears today.
Governor Bob Jones read the
12-page letter, in the mad kill
er's own handwriting, found on
Mrs. Judd when she was ar
rested in Yuma yesterday after
12 days of absence from the
Arizona state hospital, and said
he had "no comment."
County Atty. Richard Harless
said the charge on which Mrs.
Judd demanded she be given
trial that of murdering Miss
Hcdvlg Samuelson In 1931 was J
dismissed in 1032, shortly after
Mrs. Judd was convicted of
killing Agnes Ann Lerol and
sentenced to hang.
Although the matter had not
been brought to his attention
officially, Harless said little
could be accomplished by re
filing the charge against an In
sane person.
Lloyd J. Andrews, former
county attorney who directed
her prosecution, said ' "Instead
of complaining, Mrs. Judd
should be glad she escaped exe
cution." He branded as a "lie" her
story that a doctor dissected
Miss Samuelson's body.
The letter, in longhand, writ
ten before she fled from the
hospital December 3, named the
physician and the friend who
employed him. The friend, she
said, then bought her a train
ticket to Los Angeles, where
she was arrested a week later,
Mrs. Judd told part of her
story to the state board of Dar-
dons and parols in 1932 while
trying to escape the gallows,
In her more detailed account,
she said she quarreled with
Miss Samuelson and Mrs. Leroi,
who was employed at a local
clinic.
They threatened to tell Dr.
Judd she had been "stepping
out" with another man and she
retaliated with a threat to dis
close they were perverts.
sures peace between these coun
tries," the Statement added.
'Thus the League of Nations,
thanks to its present stage man
agers, has been converted from
some kind of 'instrument of
peace', which it could be, Into
the real instrument of the
Anglo-French military bloc for
keeping alive and fanning war
in Europe," Tass said.
Observers expressed belief
that the statement's reference
to the "people's government
Finland's only legitimate
regime indicated Russia plans
to ignore Finnish Foreign Min
ister Vaino Tanner's radio ap
peal for peace.
(Tanner in a radio talk from
Helsinki yesterday called upon
Russia to stop hostilities and
resume negotiations.)
I PRICE IS
BEST SINCE 1937
Chicago, Dec. 16. (P)
Wheat prices were chalked up
almost four cents a bushel again
today as the highest prices since
October, 1937, were posted on
board of trade blackboards.
With only a few reactions due
to profit taking, the market re
sponded quickly to a new rush
of buying orders Inspired partly
by a low official estimate of the
Argentine crop now being har
vested. Indications that the U.
S. government Intends to raise
import restrictions, if necessary,
to keep foreign wheat out of
this country because of high do
mestic prices attracted attention.
Reports of the first foreign
buying of U. S. wheat in some
time also stimulated some pur
chasing. Exporters estimated
250,000 bushels of U. S. hard
wheat had been sold from the
gulf to Norway.
Buying also was stimulated
by projects of continued drought
in the domestic grain belt.
Rye and soy beans also soared
to new highs for the past two
yeors or more.

BOY BEHEADED BY
PHILLY MONSTER
Philadelphia, Dec. 16. m
The-headlcss body of an uniden
tified nude boy was found in a
gutter tonight a block away
from busy North Broad street.
Dr. Anthony Donato, of the
women's homeopathic hospital,
said the condition of the body
indicated the boy was killed
around 6 p.m.
.The boy's head was cut off
at the base of the neck. The left
hand, right arm, right leg and
part of his left leg were missing.
Dr. Donato estimated the boy
was between four and six years
old.
"The dismemberment was un
workmanlike, as If the person
responsible wos in a hurry," Dr.
Donato declared. "It looks as
though the cuts were made with
a very dull instrument, then the
limbs broken off before being
completely severed."
FOR ALL OREGON
Portland, Dec. 16. (If) A
dollar will buy $1.50 in food
for Multnomah county families
receiving public welfare com
mission aid after January 2.
Jack Luihn, chairman of the
commission, said today the federal-state
food stamp plan for
reducing surplus commodities
would be extended to the entire
state In 1940.
NAZI DEMAND FOR
TIME EXTENSION
(continued uvea paga on)
Wednesday's battle with British
cruisers, two of whom are wait
ing outside the territorial wa
ters for the Graf Snee.
Meanwhile, the ministers of
Nazi Germany and Great RHt-
ain waged a last ditch fight
mgm over me warsnip,
Germany seeking an extension
of time in which she may re
main here. Britain demanriino
her ejection or internment.
Allies Wait Cemina
Hidden in the' haze about 20
miles off Montevideo were the
fast British cruisers A1ax and
Achilles, which fought the Graf
Spee Wednesday and drove her
into mis neutral refuge with
a daring which Captain Hans
Langsdorff of the German war
ship himself declared was "more
than seemed credible."
The 10.000-ton British i-rnlor
Cumberland and the 26,500-ton
French battleship Dunkerque
also were reported in the Allied
cordon, while the frrent Rrltleh
battle cruiser Renown and the
aircraft carrier Ark Royal,
steaming from South African
waters, were evnerteri at m
de Janeiro tonight or tomor
row perhaps to form a second
barrier to the Graf Spec's escape.
U-Boai Rumors
(An unconfirmed hint of heln
for the Graf Spee was contained
in a Rome radio report picked
up in London. This said the
Soee's sister shin, the nnr-Vot
battleship Admiral Scheer, was
headine for the MnntovlHon
area with a flotilla of submar
ines).
German officials ha
ed that she took refuge here
because she almost was out of
oil. British officials, however
say the Graf Spee refueled from
a tanker at sea less than a week
ago,' and if. that is true, naval
experts estimate her tjinW are
at . least one-third full. She has
not taken on any appreciable
amount of fuel in the harbor
here, although foodstuffs in
cluding at least two tone rt
vegetables have been placed
aboard her in the last two days.
German sailors methodically
polished the cannon, plugged up
sneii noies ana cleared away
debris of the first battle. They
sirippea away the seaplanes rid
dled by British gunfire, put
planks over a huge. gap in the
port bow and righted and re
paired a damaged anti-aircraft
battery.
Miss Good Chances
On shore, naval experts said
the Spee's commander already
had missed his two best chances
of getting through the British
naval trap: First, by not return
ing to sea as soon as his 36
dead were landed and fuel and
food obtained; second, by not
running out to sea this morn
ing under the cover of thick
rainclouds. The weather was
better tonight
British officials did not hide
their confidence that the Graf
Spee has no chance of escaping
the warships offshore. Neutral
officials said: "Only the great
est miracle can save the Graf
Spee If she puts to sea."
Crowd Waits Battle
In anticipation of seeing a se
quel to Wednesday's battle,
thousands of Uruguayans made
plans to spend the week-end at
shore areas along the jutting
coastline.
The American liner Argen
tina, enroute from New York
to Buenos Aires, had a chance
of getting a "ringside seat." She
I is due off Punta Del Este early
Monday.
Uruguay's foreign minister,
Alberto Guani, sent a spirited
protest to both Great Britain
and Germany for bringing their
battles not only within the Pan
American "safety belt" but into
Uruguayan territorial waters.
The protests were accompan
ied by charts which, officials
said, showed the warships at
one time were exchanging
shells well within the three-
mile limit. i
Guaai also informed all Amer
ican nations of the steps he has
taken to prevent further "front
yard" battles here.
Portland, Ore., Dec. 16. (IP)
Donald Clemence, 14, was fa
tally injured tonight when his
bicycle was struck by an auto
mobile driven by Harry Nelson,
22, who was thrown through
the windshield and suffered
facial lacerations, police acci

lips said.

Les. than a week ago Bob and I were having a sad
case of doldrums! Reason? No ready cash with which
to buy Christmas gifts, and we just couldn't let our
selves get in debt. Then Bob thought of the Classified
Ads and without telling me, he placed an ad mention
ing the things like Mary's baby carriage and Brother's
three wheel bicycle, our old gas heater and Bob's old
golf clubs which we had no more use for. ' Sure
enough, Bob sold everything and handed me the cash

sions of ours at low cost will have a merrier Christmas
