Martin Dies is no paragon as a

role of shrinking violet on the

WAR Suddens Dedication
At Finnish College
BY the Associated Press.


HANCOCK, Mich, Dec. 18.-
Suomi College, 44-year-old institu-
ton, known as the seat of Finnish
culture in America, dedicated its
new 100000 college building yes
terday, but the affair was somber
instead of joyous.
War in Finland was uppermost in
the minds of college leaders and
townspeople who participated in
the Nation wide public subscription
which financed the building and
even now are contributing to an
emergency fund for war sufferers.
Hjalmar Procope. Finnish Minister
to the United States, said in a tele-
phone speech from Washington he
regretted his absence, but serious
times in the fatherland" inter-

Finland today is in a struggle not
only for independence and exist

head of the firm, says the idea

at picnic at Hyde Park. Mrs.
Roosevelt promised to read the out

Youth Congress worker, has pre-

The Dies Committee.
According to an authentic poll of
public sentiment, Is per cent of the
American people believe Congress
should provide funds to finance the
Dies committee for another year,
despite the hue and cry which radi-
cal groups Of all stripes have raised
against the. inquiry into -Ameri-
can activities. On Saturday the
American Youth Congress, spear
head Of the drive to abolish the
committee. staged a public forum"
IN New York, at which, as was to
be expected, the consensus was
overwhelmingly in favor Of putting
Representative Dies and his fellow
tnquisitors out of business. There
were two shining exceptions. Abra-
ham Epstein, executive secretary OF
the American Association for Social
Security, and the Rev. DR.. Norman
Vincent Peale, pastor of the Marble
Collegiate Reformed Church in New
York City. both told the A. Y. C.
the Dies committee deserves per-
petuation, not extinction. Mr.. Ep-

liberal organizations or violating

thoughtfulness is amplified by the - high accident rates, in the early evening prior to the supper-hour, and on week-ends and holidays.
 In the first instance, routes tak- e. by workmen, shoppers, subur- banites are often congested by motorists who have plenty of time but no definite destination in mind or who are inexperienced driver. Their actions, although they may not be unsafe on the lesser-trav. eled roadways, are hazardous on principal thoroughfares during traffic peaks. The second instance concerns the determined, self-cen- tered, aggressive driver who chisels beyond his proper place in traffic, cuts-in on patient, law-abiding drivers, and forces other on-com- ing drivers to yield before him. .t Prevents Accidents
 Tn conclusion, a motorist should operate his vehicle according to the custom of the particular thor oughfare he is travelling upon at the time he is operating on it, and 1t must be in such 8 manner as not to interfere with the move- ments of traffic or the right of other individuals. Since congestion is generally the product of care- lessness, thoughtlessness, inatten- tion, or bad manners, the practice of highway etiquette will both pre- vent accidents and speed up the movement of traffic"

CAPTAINS WIFE
 PLEASED AT NEWS
Worried Over Capture By Germans-Thought He
 Might Be Freed

Melrose, Mass, Nov. @(UP)- Mrs. Joseph A. Gainard, wife of the captain of the Nazi-captured Ameri-' can freighter City of Flint, said to- day she was greatly relieved" to know that the vessel had been freed. She said she had been worried while her husband was held by the Germans, but that the worry was a natural one, and not frenzied." She said she was particularly anxious about the mine fields the ship would have had to dodge in making Ger man port.
 Asked what she thought the out come would have been had the ship continued to a German port, she said she thought 1t would reach Germany all right, and that the Ger mans would take the much needed foods, and eventually release the ship"
 She said she thought Captain Gainard would have been freed eventually anyway, because he is an American citizen, and they have nc reason to hold Americans, as yet
 She does not expect to hear di- rectly from her husband, but thinks she will be informed of his welfare by the government or the ships owners. She believes he will report first to his superiors for that's his fob, you know, and company matters come before family matters"
