Orders from the automobile, oil,

contributing largely to the prosperity
of manufacturers of machine tools
and industrial equipment, according
to the analysis.
Major machine tool builders and

only the shortage of skilled labor is
likely to restrict the operations of

Among the industrial machinery
group manufacturers of steel mill
equipment are hard pressed to keep
up with the influx of new orders.
According to the Iron g. Steel In

continuous rolling mills, and for

White House Squirrels to Get

basement Chief Messenger Sheehan
was asked today how he expected to
confine the tree to the half-dozen
squirrels in the west section
Stuff, the big grandfather and
patriarch Of the group will see to that"
he said. None of the squirrels in the
other parts of the yard would dare
intrude if Stuffy is around, or Bossy,
either" Bossy, it seems, is Stuffy's
wife.
1t is understood President Roose-
velt is very interested in the squirrels
tree and plans to arrange to see it.
Mr. Roosevelt, while he intended to
remain away from his executive Office
desk today, doubted if he would have
much time for leisure The desk in
his private study was well piled with
work.
The White House had taken on the
real Christmas atmosphere today as

arrived to join the household group

The tree has been trimmed by

POLITICAL CRISIS
GROWS IN FRANCE
Communist Bloc in Chamber
Votes Moral Support
to Strike.
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Rumbhngs of a
political crisis grew louder in strike
harassed France today after the Com
munist bloc in the Chamber of
Deputies voted moral support to
strikers.
AS the increasingly serious wave of
"stay-in" strikes showed no signs of
abatement over Christmas, the action
of the Communists threatened to force
a political showdown for the popular
front government of Premier Camille
Chautemps.
Communist encouragement conceded
with continued defiance by 1000
strikers occupying the Goodrich Rub
ber Co., plant and walkouts by de-
liverymen. Other groups in the
Chamber were spurred to quick dis
cussions of the situation.
The Radical Socialists, terming the
Communist stand an effort to block
attempts by Chautemps to settle the
strikes, said debate on interior policy
was bound to come up before jan
uary l.
Predicting this debate would show
other Ieftist groups lined up against
the Communists, some spokesmen went
so far as to say the labor controversy
might precipitate an open split in
the popular front.
Authorities counteracted the wide
spread strike of deliverymen by order
ing Army trucks used to haul food
supplies to public markets and to
perform other delivery functions.
Thus shoppers were able to buy mar
ket supplies on this last day before
Christmas.
A large force of mobile guardsmen
was quartered near the central mar
kets, ready to intervene in the event
of trouble.
Army trucks delivered newspapers
to stands, but deliveries to homes were
hours behind normal schedule. De-
partment stores unable to keep up
with deliveries created the prospect of
many families having to wait until
after Christmas to receive gifts.
Strikers at the Goodrich plant
threatened to continue occupancy OF
the factory over Christmas.
The rapidly spreading strike move
ment, inflamed by sympathy demon
strations and "stay-in" tactics, broke
out over workers demands for higher
wages to meet increased living costs
and on complaints that employers had
not met terms of existing agreements
for several industries.

Defends Church Against
Charges of ''Playing
Politics."

VATICAN CITY, Dec. 24.-Pope
Plus. in reply today to cardinals
Christmas greetings, deplored religious
persecution in Germany and defended
the church against accusations of
playing politics"
A semi-official summary of the pom
tiff's remarks said:
After thanking the cardinals for
their good wishes, the holy father said
he wished to add two precise words Of
fact and of principle.
THE word of fact consisted of af-
firming that real religious persecution
exists in Germany and declaring that
one wished he might say otherwise.
"The word of principle consisted of
denying the accusation made against
the church that it is not doing its
religious duties, but is playing poll
tics.
Against this accusation the Pope
protested, solemnly reaff1rming that
the church in all it's activities does not
play politics, but promotes religion.
THE Pope illustrated all this by
referring both to accusations made
before PLATE against Jesus Himself
and to replies the Redeemer made
to those accusations.
The Pope told the cardinals the
persecution in Germany was such
as there rarely has BEEN
He said the charge of politics was
used as justification" of persecu-
ton. A semi Official summary showed
the aging Pontiff denied this allega-
tion not less than four times in his
remarks.
The ceremonies, in Consistorial Hall,
were attended by 20 cardinals. Christ
mas greetings to the Pope were read
by Cardinal Pignatelli do Belmonte.
The Holy Father planned to cele-
brate his own midnight mass in the
little chapel adjoining his bed cham

tonight announced that Hangchow,
rich Chinese seaport and capital of
Chekiang Province, 100 miles south OF
Shanghai, was captured today by
troops simultaneously entering all the
city's gates.
Fall of the city to invaders who have
overrun thousands of square miles of

thorities made strong representations
to Japanese over reported insult to
the American flag at Wuhu Decem-
ber 13.
There was no information immedi-
ately on the extent of fighting around
Hangchow, but indications were that
the city had capitulated to avoid
bombing, shelling and street fighting.
The six Americans in Hangchow
were believed to be safe.
Earlier tonight Japanese had re-
ported enclrcl1ng units WITHIN miles
of Hangchow and declared the Chi
nese defenders were cut off.
The Japanese spokesman also an
nounced that strong Japanese force
had crossed the Yellow River in Shan

on it's southern bank.
He did not state where the crossing
was made, but indicated 1t was in the
vicinity of Tsinan, provincial capital.
