"utter" and "childish" lie re
ports of foreign agencies that
Finnish troops "have broken
through the front in all direc
tions, crossed the soviet frontier
and waged operations on the ter
ritory of the U.S.S.R."
The communique also said for
eign agencies used "supernatu
ral fantasy" in reporting the 44th
soviet division "lost 14,000 men
in the Suomussalmi battle and
denied reports that the lone rail
road connecting Leningrad and
the northern port of Murmansk
had been cut by the Finns.
Finnish officers said the 44th
soviet division was cut to pieces
early this month.
Denying reports that Russia
had called in German officers to
reorganize the red army, the
communique said:
"We believe that only animal
tear before the prospect of a
military bloc between Germany
and the U.S.S.R. could dictate
to the gentlemen from the
French agency this stupid and
extraordinary lie.
Japan Crisis Grows
In tlj Far East, Japan's cab
inet crisis became greater, with
Japanese army and government
leaders exerting strong pressure
on Prince Fumimaro Konoye,
president of the privy council,
to become premier again. It was
believed in some political cir
cles, that he would accept and
would replace Premier General
Nobuyuki Abe, whose resigna
tion was expected today (Sun
day). In Madrid, authorities an
nounced conclusion of a new
French-Spanish trade agreement
which was expected to restore
commerce almost to the 1933
level of 2,000,000,000 francs
(about $45,000,000).
In Berlin, Germany's Jews
found that their ration cards for
the period from January 15 to
tea, 11 did not provide for 125
grams (almost four and one-half

such as peas, beans and lentils.
Jews must have the letter "J"

IN DETROIT CASE
BEGETS SCANDAL
Detroit, Jan. 13. (AH Police
Commissioner Frank D. Eaman,
appointee of Detroit's new
mayor, Edward J. Jeffries,
created a sensation tonight by
removing his next in command.
Superintendent Fred W. Frahm.
on charges of "neglect of duty."
The removal order, develop
ing in connection with a mysti
fying robbery case involving
the disappearance of two de
tectives, was followed immedi
ately by Frahm's announcement
of his resignation. His removal
had been technically a suspen
sion. Just before Frahm's removal
Chief of Detectives John A.
Hoffman, for 28 years a mem
ber of the police department,
had asked to be retired because
of "inferences of improper con
duct" which he said Commis
sioner Eaman had made to him.
The actions climaxed a long
investigation into a robbery last
summer for which four men arc
now on trial. The two missing
detectives arc state witnesses
in the case. The victim was
supposed to have been returned
$1,000 by the detectives, but he
said he never received it.

CAUSE OP PROBE
Sacramento, Cal., Jan. 13
(U.R Testimony that high school
students at the tiny Walker Mine
community high in the Sierra
Nevadas were taught nude art,
"in detail." was presented the
state teachers retirement board
today in the case of Ethel Davis,
former Walker Mine teacher.
The Plumas county board of
education, seeking to compel re
tirement of Mrs. Davis on
grounds she is physically and
mentally unit to teach, obtained
the hearing.
Mrs. Merle Moody, former at
tendance and child welfare
supervisor in the county, testi
fied Mrs. Davis taught her young,
students art from a library book
which included "descriptions of
every part of the body."
Mrs. Moody quoted the teacher
as saying on one occasion that
"this girl can draw the back of
a nude woman very well, but
some of the boys draw other
parts of the anatomy better."
Asked whether the book of art
drawings had any suggestion of
obscenity, Mrs. Moody said she
did not examine it carefully, but
in any case "it was not the pic
tures but the way it was pre
sented." Mrs. Moody was sent to
Walker Mine April, 1939, to in
vestigate Mrs. Davis' suspension
of two of her five students. She
spent two days at the school and
said Mrs. Davis "admitted she
didn t know anything about
what she was teaching."
