Billion in Orders
Believed AWAITING
End Of Embargo
French Mission Contracts
For 4 800 PIone Motors
Even Before House Acts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
A billion dollars worth of Eu-
ropean orders is expected by some
officials to be placed with American
manufacturers as soon as President
Roosevelt signs the arms embargo
bill.
They estimated that amount would
be contracted within a few weeks,
with most of the supplies going to
Great Britain and France.
Enactment of the bill will permit
Britain and France to obtain some
800 Warphnes which have been COM
pleted since the embargo was i'm
posed.
Cancelled export licenses for planes
and munitions probably will be re-
instated. Great Britain's impounded
orders aggregate $14. $3.50 80 and those
Of France, $58, ,205, ,739.
British and French purchases are
expected to include:
Motor trucks and motor cycles
clothing, machine tools, field ranges
explosives, foodstuffs, surgical in
struments, searchlights. gas masks
pontoon equipment, water purifying
units, ambulances, tents, saddles
telephones and radio compasses.
Contract for 1900 Planes.
Officials were informed that even
before embargo repeal was voted
by the House, French purchasing
mission contracted for 1900 airplane
motors from two Eastern manufac-
turers at price of approximately
$50. .000, 900. A British mission has
been negotiating for about 1900
training planes; a Swedish mission
for upward of $50 aircraft and q
Belgian mission for 200.
A British mission, headed by 1t
Col. j. H. M. Greenly, has been al
Montreal, but is expected to transfer
its principal activities to New York
The British appeared to have with
held their purchases pending con-
gressional action on the embargo
but French representatives are
known to have placed many orders
subject to repeal of the ban.
Oficials have contended the or.
ders would benefit American ma.
tional defense by expanding indus

supplies. American military orders

Russia Threatens
Finland, Citing
Fate Of Poles
Abrupt End to Talks
Held Possibility
In HeIsinki
By the Associated Press.


MOSCOW. Nov. 3.-A note of
alarm was injected into Russian
Finnish negotiations today by
Pravda, organ of the Communist
party, on the heels of indications
that the two nations-while not
entirely in agreement-at least had
a working basis for reaching a
solution of their problems.
The Finnish delegation was called
TO the Kremlin for a renewal of
their talks with Russian officials
at 6 pm.
Gan abrupt end to Russian
Finnish negotiations was re-
garded as possibility in in
formed circles in Helsinki after
they received report Of the
attack on Foreign Minister
Erkko in Moscow's Pravda.
"a Finnish government spokes-
man said that while Finland was
rejecting Russian proposal for
territory. on Finland's southern
coast. the delegation was pre-
pared to continue the negoti-
ations If any basis were pro-
videdJ
Pravda declared that Finland S
foreign minister, Elias Erkko. had
directly threatened the Soviet
Union and that his remarks of
Wednesday night cannot be ap-
praised otherwise than as an appeal
for war with the U. S. S. r.
Opposes Guardianship.
Erkko asserted that Finland was
ready to make arrangements for i'm
proving Leningrad's defensive posi-
tions and increasing the safety of
the Gulf of Finland, but that ANY
guardianship which a foreign power
might receive over Finnish territory
must be regarded" as endangering
Finland's neutrality.
Pravda intimated that Finland as
well as the Scandinavian nations
particularly Sweden-were backed
in their opposition to Russian con-
cessions in the Baltic area by other
powers.
1t emphasized that in. the pre-
World War days when Finland was
part of Russia and the Russians
controlled the area there were no
expressions of fear from Scandi-
navia.
Pravda said Erkkc's position was
precisely like that of former Polish
Foreign Minister Beck. It is known
that he, too, made provocative
speeches before the Polish German
war, and the result was that he
provoked war with Germany"
will Override All Resistance.
Beck, it said, had the support of
certain powers. and because Of this
Poland perished." Britain and
France were not named directly.
On Russia's part, Pravda asserted:
I'VE shall send to hell any and all
maneuverers and we shall 60 directly
toward our aims. We shall assure
our safety and obtain our goal,
crushing all in our way"
The newspaper attacked unnamed
political leaders" in Sweden, saying,
During the czarist regime. when
Russia had all of Finland, including
the Aaland Islands, they were licking
the boots of czarist Russia. Now,
when we ask for only one naval
base. they are screaming protests.
I'VE know that in doing SO they
are meeting the request of their
Western bosses"

Ruth Judd EIudes Net of Police as Detectives
 Puzzle Over Clue

PHOENIX, Ariz., Oct. 27-Au- thorities today continued thelr search for the escaped murderess of two Juneau, Alaska womens Win nie Ruth Judd, with single clue to- aid their efforts.
 Mrs. Judd left note at the home of her parents, Rev. and Mrs. Mc- Kinnell on the night of her escape saving she wanted to visit her es- tranged husband in Los Angeles hospital.
 Los Angeles authorities were m- clined to believe that the notorious woman criminal would return to Los Angeles, but admitted they have found no trace of her.
 The Governors office continued an investigation into Mrs. Judd's escape Tuesday night from the Arizona State Hospital for the In sane, centering the probe around the failure of hospital attendants to guard the door through which the slayer slipped to the outside world
 Although Mrs Judd is believed by authorities to have returned to Los Angeles, the search concen- trated on Phoenix itself today as hospital authorities did not believe the murderess could travel far.
 She was believed to have had no aid in walking out of the unlocked door while most of the hospital at tendants were at dance, leaving her bed arranged to indicate her presence there, and she is thought to have had only about dollar in money with her at the time of her escape.
 The note left at the home of her aged parents, was a rather ira tional letter to Arizona Governor Jones in which she charged she was being persecuted by the present ad- ministration of the asylum and that she left only to visit her parents and her estranged husband.
