SURVIVORS TELL GRAPHIC TALE
 OF HER0I5M
Lashed to Oil Drum Daring Seaman Lost Life 1ry-
 ing 10 Save Mate
Are we men. or mice?o

Are we men, or mlce?"
 With these words James Moore of the wrecked ship Patterson, which struck at 11:56 o'clock on the night of December II, started out after his friend, First Officer Gus Swanson, and today somewhere in the surging waters off Sea Otter Creek the bodies of both Moore and Swanson are being Tapped by the waves.
 This was part of the graphic story brought to Juneau today by the survivors aboard the Coast Guard cutter Haida. In their vivid account of two weeks of being buff feted by wave and storm, the sur vivors told of that hideous night when the Patterson struck in the raging gale.
 First Officer Swanson was att tempting to launch lifeboat to make the beach A mighty wave came roaring along and swung the boat free. Swanson hung to the gunwales as the small craft swung out over the raging sea. As it rocked back toward the ship again, the officer faced certain death by being crushed against the side of the Patterson. Choosing to take a chance in the sea-. he released his hold and disappeared.
 Moore, working with him at the boat, the survivors related, had confidence the First Officer might make the shore. Demanding that his mates lash him securely to an oil drum, and with flashlight and bottle of rum he was lowered over the side with the hope that he would be washed to the beach and perhaps aid Swanson.
 On board anxious men watched as the oil drum with it's human cargo was swept toward shore At the mouth of Sea Otter Creek from his light signals they believed he made the beach After that the light was missing. The survivors believe Moore lost his life while trying to swim the roaring Creek to the other side where he be- lieved Swanson to be.

Mexico Eyes Big 0iIDeaI
 With Japan

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 24.-Mexico is reliably reported to be negotiating one million dollar barter oil deal with Japan in vigorous drive to find foreign markets for her wells appropriated from foreign compan- ies March Is.
 While it was denied at the gov- ernment petroleum department that deal was pending, other sources said negotiations had been under way for weeks on a basis that would provide Japan with one million dol lars worth of oil annually.
 It was proposed to make the deal on a one-year basis, it was said, on such terms that the contract might be continued indefinitely.
 Mexico has disposed of part of her oil to two "totalitarian" nations, Germany and Italy, though Presi- dent Lazaro Cardenas once an- nounced he would deal only with democratic powers. He since has indicated Mexico would sell her oil where she could.
 Recently Mexico completed neg citations for the sale of seventeen million dollars worth of oil in eX- change for cash and machinery and supplies, most of which are expected to come from Germany.

ITALY IS FRAMING UP ON FRAN(E;DJIB0UTI WANTED,
 N0TTUNISIA, NOR ISLANDS
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. "A. At times the ways of diplomacy are as clear as crystal if the right light is turned on them, and that is the case with the outbursts or Italian demands for certain parts of French territory
 No Italian in his right mind ex- poets to get Tunisia, which is a very rich piece of French Africa bordering on the Mediterranean. Nor does the right-minded Italian expect to get the Mediterranean island of Corsica or Savoy on the Italian border But competent opinion here is that the shrewd Italians who staged all this mon- key business do expect to get Dji- bout.
 Your memory has to be two years long if you remember DJi- bouti. It is the little mud-flat city on the east coast of Africa washed by the Red Sea. It is the entry port of Ethiopia. Italy wants 1t because it needs a port of outlet and inlet for Ethiopia.
 Most of the shouting, it is true has been for Tunisia, Corsica and Savoy. But the ruse of shouting fol one thing while wanting another < as old as the hills and works as well as more complicated maneu- vers. Djibouti is an extremely i'm { portant strategic point for Italy in developing Ethiopia.

CBv ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Germany marked the "Ickes m- cident" automatically closed today while two great armies fought a crucial battle in Spain and Italy and France remained at loggerheads over Fascist demands for French possessions.
 Although regretting that Sumner Welles. Acting United States Secre- tary of State, had left sting be- hindo in rejecting the German pro- test against attacks by Interior Sec retary Harold L. Ickes, German pro- paeanda ministry spokesman sald no further official action would be taken.
 Meanwhile in Washington some congressional criticism of the State Department's stiffened attitude to- ward Germany developed. Senator Burke, Nebraska Democrat, said he believed the Ickes statement was un- wise at this time.
 Secretary Ickes is the sort of person who can say Merry Christ mas to you in a way that makes you want to fight him. Burke said.
 In Spain firm government resis- tance was reported to have checked the great insurgent offensive along all fronts in the most momentous battle of the civil war.
 Italian French tension was m- creased by a defiant Italian note calling off the 1885 agreement con- corning Tunisia. The French adopt ed a wait-and-see policy as the It. allan press opened new and vigor- ous anti-French campaign which observers saw as a prelude to formal demand for concessions.
