Sanding Highways
Costs State $4,000

1t costs the state $4,000 to ap-
ply sand to its $500 miles of hard
surfaced roads when ice makes
driving dangerous, according to a
department bulletin. Officials are
striving to strike a balance be-
tween public convenience and
waste, since sand so applied adds
nothing in permanent improve
ment.
Highway bulletins also state:
"The department is reducing per-
sonnet and will not be in a posi-
ton to hire any new employees
until season construction and
maintenance work opens up" and
that highway patrolmen have
been advised "to stop all drivers
who operate motor vehicles where
broken windows have been re-
placed with cardboard" in the in
terest of highway safety.

WATCH Liner

MIAMI, Fla.-The Miami Her

ish destroyers were lurking off
the Florida coast, apparently wait
ing for the German passenger
liner Columbus.
The Herald said its report was
based on activities of the Ameri-

Columbus was proceeding up the
American coast, In territorial
waters, from Vera Cruz, and the
British evidently expected her to
pass up the Florida coast after
leaving the gulf. 1t said an Amer
lean warship was watching her.
The Columbus, one of the finest
ships OF the German merchant ma
rine, is of $4,000 tons. She took

saying she intended to go to Ber-
gen, Norway.
1t was reported then she intend
ed to refuel a German warship or
submarines at sea.

Russia Pushes Drive Domination Eastern Europe

UNDATED. Oct. g (P) - A quickened Soviet diplomatic of- fensive held the center of the European stage from the stale- mated western war front. Work ing swiftly while Germany and the British and French allies pre- occupied in their slow moving war and Hitler'S peace offer, Russia pushed her drive for in- creased domination of Eastern Europe. Her cooperation includ- ed four-fold negotiations with Finland, Lithuania, Turkey and Germany herself was included in the scope of Russian activities. Estonia and Latvia have already fallen under Soviet sway thru pacts giving Rusia sweeping mil itary and economic concessions. A similar pact with neighboring Lithuania is expected shortly.
 Finland though promising her self there would be no capitula- tion to the Russian giant agreed to send special envoy to Mos cow for important talks. Juhu Paasikivi,, Finnish minister to Sweden, was selected as the en voy who is expected soon in Mos cow where diplomatic activity has increased since Russia and Germany collaborated on the partition of Poland.
 The German trade delegation which arrived only yesterday reached a quick agreement that Russia should immediately be- gin supplying Germany with ma terials and Germany should be gin filling orders" for the Soviet Union. Some mystery surround ed the negotiations with Turkey. Turkish foreign minister Sara coglu remained in Moscow but without apparent results for his visit there. Reports on his course are determined somewhat by the results of the Turkish military missions current visit to London.
