An Investigation
BY the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Nov. ia barge

consigned to the British Royal Air

waters while tied up at pier IL, at
Stapleton, Staten Island.
The barge. less than 10 years

asUonishment at its sinking.
L,ockheed representatives imme-

MOSCOW, Nov. 11.-Charges that

their forces on Russia's border, thus
demonstrating their uncompromis-
ing attitude" were made today by
Tass, the official Soviet news agency.
The statement on the Kremlin
parleys arising from Russian de-
mands for territorial and strategic
concessions declared the Films had
failed to meet the minimum Russian
terms. 1t said:
THE English newspaper Daily Ex-
press published report of an Ex-
change Telegraph British news
agency report from Helsinki to the
effect that Stain again rejected

''Tass is authorized to declare that
the report of the Daily Express does
not correspond with the facts. No
latest concessions have been made
by the Firms, in view of which
Stain could not reject that which
does not exist at ALL"
Firms Scored.
According to the information of
Tass the Firms not only do not meet
the minimum proposals of the Soviet
Union but on the contrary intensity
their irreconciliability.
Until recently the Firms had on
the Karelian Isthmus (near the
Russian border) only two or three
army divisions on the front against
Leningrad, while now they have in
creased the number of divisions over
hanging Leningrad to seven, thus
demonstrating their uncompromising
attitude"
Russia invited Finland October Z
to negotiate with her after a swift
diplomatic campaign for expanded
influence in the Baltic had gained
concessions from Latvia, Lithuania
and Estonia.
Premiere Foreign Commissar WA
cheslaff Molotof subsequently gave
Russia's territorial demands as an
area on the Karelian Isthmus "for
the protection of Leningrad";; leas-
ing OF a section at the eastern en-
trance of the Gulf of Finland for a

History repeats itself. The plan

The Marques of Lothian, British

PEELED to launch some drastic move
ment-Such as an undertaking

Here to speak at Armistice Day

The Ambassador said the differ

Replying to questions on Ger

DETROIT, Nov. 11.-Attorneys for

Workers today prepared an appeal
from the Michigan Unemployment
Commissions decision denying I'M
employment benefits to more than
$4,000 Chrysler Corp. employees who
have been idle for a month in a
labor dispute.
The first appeal, said Union Attor-
ney Ernest Goodman, will be to a
commission referee. If the referee
decision is appealed it will go next to
a special board named by Gov. Luren
D. Dickinson. After that it could be
carried to the Circuit Court and
thence to the Michigan Supreme
Court.
R. j. Thomas. president of the U

to a SIG weekly maximum for II

was estimated at nearly $750,000.

History Of Dispute Traced.

from October when the corporation
sent home 104 employees in the Dodge

"slow down" strike" Union leaders
said this was lockout" by the
corporation. The commission helc
that under the wording of the law
it was immaterial whether the clos

or a lockout.
John Reid, a member of the COM
mission, dissented from the decision
of the other three, contending that
only the 1000 workers in Chrysler's
Dodge division, where the dispute
started, should be excluded from
unemployment benefits. The reso-
luton voted by the commissioners
said that all Chrysler workers were
interested in negotiations for a new
contract and that controversy over
its provisions led to the dispute.

Congress Expected

Edison Reveals Defects
In Newest Class of
Destroyers
BY the Associated Press.

~ VIC ASSOCidteu TIcSS.
Congress may ask the Army and
Navy to demonstrate that they are
getting full value out Of defense
dollars, some legislators said today
after disclosure that the Navy had
had to correct structural defects in
its newest class of destroyers.
Senator Norris. Independent, of
Nebraska, who only recently reversed
lifetime habit of voting against
big Navy" appropriations, said he
thought appropriation requests
should be examined infinitely to de-
termine that there was no wastage
in defense expenditures.
I'VE certainly can't afford to waste
any money now and I don't believe
the need for construction speed is
so great that we can't have check
on these things" he added.
Senators Smith, Democrat, of
South Carolina, and Holt, Democrat,
Of West Virginia said they thought
the Naval Affairs Committee, of
which they are members, would
want to have full details on con-
struction problems before approving
any additional authorizations for
expanding the fleet.
Both declared they could not recall
that Navy officers had ever informed
the committe of the discovery of
structural defects in any of its ships.
Chairman Scrugham of the House
Naval Appropriations Subcommittee
already has served notice that he will
insist that the Navy furnish expert
testimony on the value of battle
ships in view of submarine successes
in the European war.
Budget Director Harold D. Smith
yesterday spiked as wild" estimates

tiers that the United States might in
crease its defense spending next year
to $4,000, 100000. Mr.. Smith said q
moderate increase was to be ex-
pected, but he appealed for COM
mon sense" in resisting "extrava-
CANT" expenditures.
The Budget Bureau head indicated
the total outlay for the Army and

Netherlands and Belgium, squeezed

indicative of their forebodings
were the following developments:
The Belgian cabinet, in night
session, was believed by OBJ
servers to have decided its stand
should the Netherlands be at
tackled.
It was reported that the
German-Belgian frontier from
Aachen to Eupen had been closed
for the first time since the war
began Aachen and Eupen lie
near the junction of the frontiers
of Belgium, the Netherlands and
Germany.
The United States Consulate
said it would advise Americans
today to remove their wives and
Indispensable" staff members from
the Netherlands.
Foreign correspondents were
warned by authorized sources at
The Hague to limit their dis
patches on defenses to material
appearing in Netherlands papers.
The government planned to re-
quest a German investigation of
Thursday nights border incident,
in which one or two persons were
reported shot on Netherlands soil
and carried, with several others,
into Germany by occupants of a
German automobile.
Military measures, not officially
explained, continued in both Bel
GUM and the Netherlands. Bel
gums mobilization was at a near
high of 100000, while sections of the
Netherlands defensive water system
were flooded.
The Belgian cabinet meeting, the
fourth in as many days, was fol-
lowed by a long conference among
Prime Minister Hubert Pierlot, For
eign Minister Paul Henri Spaak and
Defense Minister Henri Denis.
Belgium, with men concentrated
in the blockhouses and at the mined
bridges along the Albert Canal, an
nounced the reopening of some
canals in the north, between the AL.
bert and the Netherlands frontier.
This was taken as a pacific ges.
ture, since these canals form a direct
route to Germany.
Fears Of Involvement Grow.
Apprehensions of involvement
have grown in both the low coun.
tries since the first of the week
when the Germans assailed then
for not protesting actions of the
British blockade.
These attacks ceased when King
Leopold of the Belgians and Queer
Wilhelmina of the Netherlands pro-
posed Monday to mediate the strug.
gle between Germany and France
and Britain.
But the cool reception of this of.
Ter, coupled with reports of German
military activity near the border
including troop concentrations, ha
been followed by increasing pre-.
paredness for whatever the futur,
may bring.

The blaze was not discovered until
it had made considerable Roadway in

that the only fire in the home was in

nothing could be done to check them.
