 Stockholm, Sweden. Oct. 1S.- (UP)-The kings of Sweden, Norway and Denmark and the president of Finland met today to work out a common program for saving their 5000, 900 people from the war rag ing of their coasts, harassing their ships and endangering their neu- trality.
 Although the occasion was a gloomy and dangerous one, thou- sands of Swedes lined the f1ag-drap- ed streets cheering the heads of four traditionaly friendly and neutral governments.
 Sweden's 81-year-old King Gustav and Crown Prince Gustav Adolf went to the airport to greet the president and foreign minister of Finland, whose position had become most precariouS of all because of Russia's westward movements and reported demands for sFinnish islands. Also at the airport was Frederick Storm, member O. the Stockholm city council, with en- couragement for the Films. He tolc President Kyoesti Kallio:

Helsingfors, Finland, Oct. 18-(UP) Telegraph and radio communica- ton with Esthonia was suddenly cut off today and severe military cen- scrship was reported imposed in the Baltic state in connection with occu- patton of military bases by Soviet troops.
 The censorship resulted in num- Der of alarmist rumors here regard ing developments in Esthonia, which granted military and naval bases tc Russia under their recently con- cluded treaty. About 2l,0C0 Red army troops were being sent into Esthonia

Democrats Prepare For
 Great BattIeFriday
Forces Behind Vincent A. Scully and George I. Cul- hane Are Ready for Primaries Sides Are Very Confident

Increased activity was noted in Democratic party circles today as the primary contest between Sem ator George T. Culhane and Cor poration Counsel Vincent A. Scully drew nearer. Eaci. side was busy with organization work in prepara- tion for the balloting Friday after noon and evening.
 The Democratic town committee last night voted official endorse ment of MT. Scully for the mayoral- ty nomination, changing from its previous stand that no official en- dorsement would be given but that members would work as individuals for MT Scully. The committee took this action after receiving states of delegates to the city, town and school conventions from the Gull hane and Scully forces.
 Culhane Forces Tonight
 The Culhane- -for-Mayor workers will hold general meeting to- night at their headquarters, 55 Gen. ter street. A number of district meetings will be held tomorrow night. Senator Culhane will make radio addresses tonight, tomorrow night and Friday night.
 The Scully packers have planned a series of meetings and rallies to- night and tomorrow night. MT Scully opened his radio campaign with an address over both local sta- tions last night.
 Yesterday was marked by the re- pudiation by Eugene Sheehan, mem. Der of the Independent Democratic town committee, of statement from Culhane headquarters that l: of 20 members of the Independents had endorsed Senator Culhane. MT 1 Sheehan declared that no endorse. ment was being given any candi. date. He stated that he did no plan to vote in the Democratic primary Friday.

Nazis, French Engage
 In Small Patrol Fights
Railways, Highways for Thirty Miles in Germany Are damned With Men, Munitions on Their Way
 to the Front
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff Correspondent

Paris, October IS. - (UP) - Ger man railroads and highways for 30 miles behind the western front are damned with men, guns and muni- tions in apparent preparation for a grand scale assault on the Maginot Line, it was reported today.
 In the fighting lines there was the tension that usually comes just before a great battle.
 French and German patrols were using all the dark hours to feel their way through No Mans Land sounding out each others positions and seeking by sudden dash on an outpost to take prisoner or two for questioning by intelligence officers.
 Occasionally patrols would meet dispatches from the front said, fol a brief, merciless fight with hand grenades, pistols and trench knives Or one patrol, hugging the ground would lie in wait for another and ambush it.

NON-SUPPORT IS
 NOT FELONIOUS

Attorney General Francis A. Pal lotti ruled informally today that non- support is not to be considered as a felony and that conviction on non- support charge does not require the removal of convicted persons name from the voting list. The result of the ruling will be the reinstatement of large number of local residents as voters, since many have had their names stricken of during the past two years after being found guilty ot non-support.
 The attorney general will file formal opinion in day or two. and it will be submitted to Registrars John T. Derwin and Albert o. Fallei for study.
 The ruling was made at the reques, of Attorney Albert Bronsky, clerl of the city court. MT. Pallotti saie he understood that similar ruling had been made by predecessor Q his and he believed it to be cor rect interpretation of the law. Othel circles reported that the legislatures committee on forfeited rights hat held during the last session that ron support was not crime seriou enough to warrant disfranchise ment.
 It is believed that the registrar of voters will rule that any on whose name has been taken iron the voting list following conviction | for non-support will have to appl for reinstate atement, and that no name
 will be automatically restored. A check-up was being made toda to determine the number of person eligible for reinstatement.

RIGHT REV. MSCR.
 LAVELLE IS DEAD
Venerable Rector of St. Patriek's Cathedral
 Dies Last Night

New York, October 18-UP) - Millions of American Catholics mourned today the Right Rev. Mgr. Michael J. Lavelle, 83, venerable rector of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
 He died last night in the rectory of the cathedral he had served for 60 years-54 as rector and six as as- sistant.
 Mgr. Lavelle had refused to go to a hospital, in spite of the serious heart ailrnent from which he had suffered for several months. He spent all the years after his ordina- ton as a priest on the cathedral staff.
 He became ill shortly after services last June celebrating his 60th an- niyersary in the priesthood. For a month or two he was able to take occasional automobile rides, but he weakened steadily.
 Burial will be in the crypt at St. Patrick's cathedral.

 Somewhere in the same region of the Atlantic were the United States Liner Manhattan, due in New York Saturday with 1,477 passengers; the American shipper, due Sunday with l46 passengers; the Italian Liner Conte di Savoia, due Saturday with 1900 passengers.
 The President Harding's message indicated that the ship itself was in no danger, but the Blairbeg's mes sage indicated that it was the ships condition and not that of her crew and passengers which invoked her distress call.

BERGEN, BERNIER
 BATTLE STILL ON
C. 0. P. City Clerk NOmina= ton to Be Re-Fought
 Tonight

The members of the Republican city convention will reconvene at the Y. M. c. A. tonight at 8:30 o'clock in an effort to agree on a candidate for the nomination for city clerk. The battle for this non- nation between Homer Bernier, the organization candidate, and John J. Bergin, independent, disrupted the convention Monday night, with 12 ballots each standing in 16-16 tie vote. MT. Bergin declared in a state ment today that he will remain in the race to the finish and predicted that his delegates would remain sol- idly behind him. The organization, on the>other hand, declared its un- willingness to accept MT. Bergin, but hinted at the possibility of a compromise.
 MT. Bergin said: "The contest for the nomination is a fight to the finish. So far as am concerned, there will be no compromise"
 Scoff at Reports
 Backers of MT. Bergin scoffed at reports that the town committee was threatening legal action against Henry P. Barry. who was elected as an organization delegate hut who is backing MT. Bergin.
 The Bergin delegates were prepar- ed to fight any more to have the convention adjourn without naming a candidate and let the selection be made by the town committee. They said they would rather let the post go by default than let the choice be made by Town Chairman J. War ren Upson.
 One rumor heard today had il that the convention would be asked to reconsider its choice of Charle. c. Foster as the candidate fol mayor, and that the name of Mayor Patrick M. Perriello would be agair submitted. MT. Foster won the nom. nation over Mayor Perriello by { 17-l5 vote Monday night.
 i The fight over the nomination fo city clerk has added to the COP woes engendered by the refusal c the organization to acce It Mayo Perriello as the candidate for mayor

Turkey Was Ordered to Close Dardanelles to
 Certain Warships TURKEY HAD ALMOST
 SIGNED AGREEMENT  Hitler Emissary Baron vOn Papen Leaves Turkey
 When Rupture Came
BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent)


 London, October 18. UP) =. Four senational last minute Russian demands caused the breakdown of Turkish Russian diplomatic negotiations at Moscow, it was reported today, and opened a new phase in Euro pean diplomatic activities. Certain Balkan legations in London were advised officially today that Russia presented the following demands:
 That a Russian Turkish pac. acknowledge that the Balkans con- stituted a region of Russia influence. 2-That Turkey close the Darda- nelleS Strait at once to warships ot non-Black Sea powers. = 3-That the Turkish pact make it clear that the proposed Russian Turkish mutual assistance pact was not directed against Bull garia.
 EThat the pact should not obli- gate Russia to consult Turkey in event 0 fany German action in the Balkans.
 Turkish diplomatic sources said that new Russian demands were presented to Sukru Saracoglu, Turk ish foreign minister after virtual agreement had been reached on the text of a Soviet-T Turkish alliance treaty.
 May Reconsider Turkish pessimism over the fail- ure of the negotiations was some what relieved by belief that Rus sia might reconsider its demands and modify them to an extent where resumption of negotiations would be possible.
 Less hopeful diplomats forecast that Russia might act to obtain a diplomatic foothold ia the Balkans as the result e the failure of ne- gotiations.
 Also, the possibility that Turkey might act as a sort of diplomatic bridge between the Allies and Rus sia had faded into the background for the moment.
 Had the negotiations succeeded Britain would have been expected to send strong delegation to Mos COW to discuss expansion of Russo British trade and improvement oi relations generally. Now, it was re- !, ported that Britain would confine herself to series of Small-scale trade agreements.
 Balkans Relieved
 Balkan diplomatic quarters showed a tendency toward relief at the out come of the Moscow talks. They hac feared that Turkey might make such great concessions that Rus. sia might find it relatively sirnpls to regain Bessarabia from Rumanis and draw both Rumania and Bul. garia closer to her automatically. Rumania was frankly pleased, ; (Continued on Page 4l
