200 DIE IN EUROPE;
SUFFERING GREAT

LONDON, Dec. 81. (UP)-A
cold wave that already has broken
records of 60 and 80 years stand
ing yesterday frightened its icy
grip on all Europe, from the Urals
to the Mediterranean, taking a
toll of at least 200 lives and caus-
ing intense suffering.
Communication and transporta-
ton services were crippled partlc-
ularly in eastern Europe and the
Balkans, and shipping in the North
Sea ran for cover before the blasts
sweeping from off the Siberian
Steppes.
England suffered the lowest
temperatures in nine years while
Monday was the coolest December
day in Berlin in 80 years with a
reading of one degree below zero.
French meteorologists reported
that the mercury was plummeting
down to the lowest levels since the
famous cold wave of 1877. It was
five above in Paris in mid-after-
noon and five below in Alsace,
Lorrain and Verdun.
Seventy deaths from freezing
were reported from LODI, Poland,
and the extreme cold was blamed
for an influenza outbreak among
5000 German-Jewish refugees on

NEW YORK, Dec. 21. (UP)-
The Ukrainian question has be-
come world problem. The threat
of war has focused international
attention on the struggle of more
than 45,000,000 Ukrainians in
Russia, Poland and Rumania for
independence.
Since the World war the Ukra-
inian people have reminded the
world powers that their division
was forced by the Bolsheviks on
one hand and the Allies on the
other. As result the Ukrainian
republic established in 1917 was
destroyed.
Ukrainians in America protest
ed as far back as 1919, sending
a special delegation to the Yer
sailles peace conference. Since
then they have dispatched thou
sands of kilograms and memoran-
da to the great powers and the
League of Nations, demanding the
right of Ukrainian self-determina-
ton.
During most of this period the
world did not even know of the
existence of Adolf Hitler. Today
when newspapers speak of the
Ukrainian liberation movement as
a creation of Hitler, little men,
ton is made of the long struggle
of the Ukrainians themselves for
freedom.
Ukrainians proclaimed the
Ukrainian national republic at
Kiev upon the ruins of czarist
Russia in 1917. Ukrainians also
proclaimed the western Ukrainian
republic in Lviv in 1918 upon the
collapse of the Austro-Hungarian
empire. These two republics unit
ed in 1919, and in their defense
hundreds of thousands of Ukrain-
ians died. The Kiev republic was
crushed by the Bolsheviks and the
Czarist Russians of Denikin who
were aided by the Allies. The
Lviv republic was destroyed by
the Poles likewise supported by
the Allies.
But the Ukrainian ideal of an
independent sovereign state was
not destroyed.
Today thousands of Ukrainian
youths are imprisoned in Soviet,
Polish and Rumanian jails, charg-
ed with fighting for this ideal.
Many write of Ukraine only as
pawn to further Hitler's ambi-
TOMS. They guess what Hitler
thinks of the Ukraine, but few
determine what the Ukrainian

UP TO CONGRESSMAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. q. tUP)
With congress scheduled to con-
vene on January 8, two major
legislative battles were already
in sight today, vieing as TO which
will provide the most spectacular
controversy of the approaching
session. - 't'r1
It was learned today that Pres
ident Roosevelt is prepared to re-
new his demand for the reorgan-
ization Of the federal govern
ment's executive department in
his message of the opening ses-
sion of the new congress.
Despite optimism prevalent
among some Of the administrl-
ton leaders the presidents pro-
gram to revive the reorganization
bill appeared headed for a battle
similar to that which scuttled the
proposal last year.
At the same time there appear.
ed growing evidence Of opposi-
ton, to the New Deal spending
policies as the president was en-
gagged in putting the final touches
on his annual state-of-the-nation
message.
An early clash between foes
and proponents Of spending was
foreshadowed when leaders Of
two powerful organizations, the
Farmers Union and the Workers
Alliance, told the president that
thew strenuously opposed prop6s-
ed cuts in farm benefits or re-
lief appropriation.
