The members Of the Girls Bay-
ketball squad have received beau.
|tiful maroon and white satin jack
cts in reward for their fine show
ing throughout the session Of '38.
The girls made a good showing
in the tournament despite the fact
that they lost in the finals to
Wesson, whom they had beaten
twice during the regular season.
The h-Lincoln girls showed
IA vast Improvement over their
former playing, and gave an ex-
hibition in the finals almost SIM
lar to that Of the Tupelo Red
Wings. Although our girls man
aged to get the score nearly even
on two or three occasions, there
was never any doubt as to the
winner.
The team this year should at
least be a stepping stone to a real
contender for next years state
honors.

Anna Hahn Revives Slight Iy Before Execution
 Sometime Tonight

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 7,-An- na Marie Hahn was revived today from collapse and grasped for hope as the State prepared to put her to death in the electric chair after nightfall tonight.
 The nerves of this condemned slayer crumbled and she sobbed hyterically after Gov. Martin L. Davey declared he would not inter- vene in her electrocution.
 Prison matrons expressed belief that the woman has given up all hope for stay of sentence and she will be the first woman to die in Ohios electric chair.
 The 32-year-old blonde was born in Bavaria. She was never admitted to U. S citizenship.
 Mrs. Hahn was convicted of ad- ministering poison to 72-year-olo Jacob Wagner, Cincinnati gardner | to secure his insurance. Other deaths by the same route and fol 1 the same purpose are also charged against the woman.

 After being thoroughly drenched with words charging, broadly, "spineless diplomacy" the Council at the suggestion of Mayor Harry I. Lucas graciously accepted the pre- pared ordinance and withdrew to the Council Chambers in the City Hall to discuss it at a closed session. The Mayor said today that no &C., tion had yet been taken and that the Council would meet again to- night to consider the matter.

Foreign Ministers of Coun- tries Ironing Out
 All Difficulties
(BY ASSOCIATED PREss)

The friendship agreement be- tween the traditional enemies France and Germany, is being stud jed by the world, more accustomed to news regarding current warlike moves between the two nations, than of peace.
 Foreign Ministers von Ribbentrop of Germany and Bonnet of France today talked over the differences that might cause both nations to violate the agreement of no more war between them and renunciation of the signed pact.
 Nazi Position
 It is understood that von Ribben- trop indicated the Nazi nation will not press for any colonial demands at present nor back Italys campaign for TuniSia or Corsica. It is also shown, according to reports, that Germany is lukewarm regarding aiding the Spanish Insurgents.
 It is understood that von Ribben- trop, in return for these assurances, wants a definite understanding that the France and Soviet Union mutual assistance pact is no longer opera tive, thus Germany will feel freer hand in pursuing ambitions in East ern Europe where clash might oc- cur with the Soviets.
 Agitation Continues
 The Italian agitation for posses sion of Tunisia and Corsica contin- ued by anti French demonstra tions in Naples and Florence where noisy bands of university students were turned back by the police in reach- ing French ConSulates.
 Tokyo newspapers also reported today that Japan has formulated further exposition of her attitude toward foreign economic rights 1T the conquered regions of China anc is expected to communicate thi. exposition to the United States anc Great Britain tomorrow.
