ANOTHER COLD
WAVE SWEEPS
out OF ARCTIC
Warming Comes as Almost
Entire Nation Gripped
by First One
EXPECTED TO STRIKE
ALL EAST OF ROCKIES
(UNITED PRESS)

kid Cold" cooked his fist today
for a second punch at the nation,
already reeling from his first win
try blow.
United States weather forecas-
ter J. r. Lloyd at Chicago warned
that a second cold wave is sweep
ing down from the Arctic Circle
while the first wave held almost
the entire nation in its grip.
The fringe of the new wave
has reached Montana and Lloyd
said by tomorrow night it would
blanket the Plains states and the
Missouri valley.
The most severe cold wave of
the winter stretched icy tentacles
toward the eastern seaboard today
and penetrated even sections of
the deep south.
Intense cold already had spread
over the Plains states, the lower
Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio
river valleys and the Great Lakes
region. Billiards ragged across the
upper. Michigan peninsula and in
parts of Ohio. Pennsylvania and
upper New York.
U. S. forecaster Lloyd expected
that the cold would cover every
portion of the country east of the
Rocky mountains by tonight. He
said great masses of Polar air still
are sweeping southeastward from
the Mackenzie river basin and
that the cold might not abate for
a week.
Zero readings were reported
from the Rockies to Michigan and
line of near zero temperatures
stretched northeastward fr o m
Pennsylvania across New York
into northern New England. Tenn
peratures reached the freezing
point in portions of southern
Texas and were sub-normal IN
Florida. The Pacific coast was the
only section of the country to es-
cape the cold.
Toledo, o., a city of 100000
population, faced a threat of a
water shortage. High off-shore
winds had blown so much water
of the Maumee river into Lake
Erie the water department was
forced to draw upon emergency
supplies stored in reservoirs. The
river is the city's only source for
water. Its stage dronped SIX feet
yesterday and the city's intake
was cut to nearly one-fifth of nor

George Shoemaker, city engi-
neer, said the threat of a famine
had subsidized but warned citizens
to economic rigidly.

Nazi Writers Not
Invited ToDinner

Protest Alleged Snub
When Peruvian Presi-
dent Is Host

LIMA, Peru, Dec. rs. (UP).-
A group of German newspaper
men representing the official Ger
man News Agency Transocean
last night protested to Berlin that
they were not invited to cock
tail party President Oscar Bena-
vides of Peru, gave at noon in
honor of foreign correspondents
covering the eighth Pan American
conference.
The party was held at the presi-
dents La Perla residence.
The Nazi newspaper men also
urged the German minister here
to lodge a formal protest with the
Peruvian government for what
they regarded as a "direct, inten-
tional affront." They further an
nounced they would refuse to con-
tinue reporting the conference,
which ended at 6 p. M, in protest
against the presidents failure to
invite them.
The newspapermen concerned
were Walter Won Simons of Ber-
lin, head of the German group ;
DR.. Pablo Breuer of Buenos Aires,
chief of the South American serv-
ice for Transocean, and Alberto
Pinetta, attached to the Buenos
Aires Transocean bureau.
WRITERS SAY INCIDENT
is HOSTILE ACT"
In his telegram to Berlin, Sim
ons charged that the Peruvian
ministry of foreign affairs had
committed "hostile act" against
the German newspaper men by
not including them in the invita-
tions to the party. He requested
that the Nazi government defend
"if possible" German journalism
against the continued Difficult
ties" it encountered abroad.
The German legation said Sim
ons spoke to Willy Nobel the
minister, about the affair and that
Nobel was considering the situa-
ton but had not decided what to
do about it. His secretary said
the minister might speak to For
eign Minister Carlos Concha about
it at last nights state banquet
rendered by President Benavides
to the conference delegates.
The press officer of the con-
ference explained the incident by
saving that the persons invited
were limited to those from the

We've got to cultivate avia-

age civilian aviation as much as
possible"
WASHINGTON, Dec. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt disclosed yes
terday that the government soon
would begin training 10000 col
lege students annually as expert
pilots, giving the United States
one of the most formidable aerial
reserves in the world.
He said at his press conference
that preliminary plans call fol
start of the program in several
hundred colleges during the
school year 1939-40, under super
vision of the National Youth ad-
ministration. Details were worked
out by the Civil Aeronautics au-
thority, he added.
Mr.. Roosevelt's disclosure came
after it was learned authorita-
lively that he plans to send a
special message to the 18th con-
gress asking for supplemental
military and naval funds to de-
velop a gigantic, long-range air
armada.
Military and naval experts now
estimate that there are 10000 to
$4,000 pilots and students in civ
il aviation who could be con-
scripted in event of war. Since
the president placed no limit on
the length of time the new pro-
gram would run, it is believed the
United States may become undis-
puted in air supremacy within a
few years.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that the
plan would be placed on an ex-
perimental basis during the sec
ond semester of the present school
year in a number of colleges that
had pioneered in the field, and
that at least 800 students would
be trained in this period.
Pending further arrangements
the CAA announced that courses
in the test semester would be pre-
scented at the following colleges
and universities: Purdue, Ala
bama, Minnesota, University of
Washington, Massachusetts, Insti-
tute of Technology, Texas Agri-
culture and Mechanical, and Geor-
gia School of Technology.
He emphasized that the COM
plete program would entail an an
nual cost of $9,s00,000 which
must be appropriated through

HEN E, Franco-Spanish
Frontier. Dec. %. (UP) - The
first phase of Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances end-the-war Often
siye was completed today and ne
prepared a second drive to change
the map of Catalonia.
Insurgent dispatches claimed
continued success along a 60-mile
front which gradually was shaping
into a huge triangle, the apex
aimed almost directly at the loyal
ist capital, Barcelona, and 1t was
designed to. cut Catalonia into
halves.
The northern wing of the insur-
gent army of 100000 swept across
Montseeh mountain range, cap
tured villages and prepared to at
tack Aresa de Segre, the so-ealled
gateway to Catalonia.
Loyalist defenders of Catalonia
last night were reported in retreat
along a 60-mile front to escape
the laws of Generalissimo Frances
giant pincers SWAPPING shut upon

miles inland. from Barcelona.
Insurgent dispatches at the same
time indicated that Frances forces
on the southern wing were only
80 miles from the important gov
eminent seaport of Tarragona on
the Mediterranean, but instead OF
striking on to the seacOast they
swung north around BorJaS Blan-
cas- and drove toward Cervera.
simultaneously, Frances crack
Navarrese and Galieians IN the
Tremp sector to the north swept
southwark across 5.000-feet noun
tain peaks in swirling snow upon
the town of Artesa de Segre, key
communications center of the gov
ernment's entire center Catalon-
ian front.
The security of loyalist Gener-
aliSsimo Ymcente Rojo's entire de-
tense system from Tremp down to
Lerida east of the Segre valley
was at stake.
From Artesa de Segre on the
south bank of the Segre Frances
forces must cut an lS-mile arc to
reach Cervera while his southern
army, composed largely of Italian
LegiOnnaires and Moroccan cav
airy, must drive north and east II
miles across jagged hills to reach
Cervera.
Once this liaison is formed, the
Insurgents will have bitten off a
great bullying slice of loyalist ter
ritory from Tremp to Mora de
Ebro, trapping loyalist units be-
hind them, and would be massed
for a death blow at Barcelona, di-
rectly east over broad highway.
Frontier reports said that the
lOyalist government was preparing
to abandon Barcelona should the
Insurgents get within striking dis
lance.
Insurgent dispatches said Pre-
mier Juan Negrin and his cabinet
we're holding a fleet of ships In
readiness ready to move the gov
eminent to the southern section OF
dismembered loyalist Spain, prob
ably Cartagena or Albacete.
Catalonian dispatches said Cen
eralissimo Franco was laying down
the heaviest artillery lombard
ment of the entire civil war. using
more than 500 guns along his lines
from Tremp to Seros. More than
1900 aerial bombs and 5000
shells were said to have fallen on
lOyalist positions in the sector dur
ing the last 72 hours. !
