FLOYD GIBBONS
 DIES SUDDENLY,
 HEART DISEASE
Noted War Correspondent Passes Away on His
 Penn. Farm

STROUDSBURG, Pa, Sept. 25.- Floyd Gibbons, 52, noted war cor respondent and radio commentator, died unexpectedly of heart disease last night on his farm. The death of the veteran reporter, who wore a patch over his left eye which was lost in the World War in France, cut short his intention to return to Europe to cover current hostilities.
 Gibbons first made a name for himself as war correspondent when he reported Villas raid on Columbus, New Mexico, and then accompanied Gen. John J. Pershing on the dash into Mexico.
 Gibbons become London cores pondent of the Chicago Tribune in 1917. As passenger on the steamer Laconia. which was torpedoed and sunk off the Irish Coast, Gibbons cabled a 4000-word account of the disaster in which American lives were lost.
 Gibbons reported the World War in France in 1918 and it was at the battle of Chateau Thierry that he lost his left eye.

Great Britain, France Will Not Declare War
 on Russia

PARIS, Sept. 25.-Official circles in Paris said today that Great Bri- tain and France will ignore Italian Premier Mussolinis yelled demands that they declare war on Russia for the Soviets invasion of Poland.
 Mussolini based a plea for peace Saturday partly on a charge that the Allies had lest the moral basis of their war with Germany by fail ing to take similar action against Russia.
 Informed Paris quarters pointed out today that the moral basis for the war on Germany, the appeal from Poland for aid, had not been repeated by the Poles as result of the Soviet invasion. Also important they said, was the fact that a de- claration of war on Russia would only throw the Soviet definitely into the camp of Germany, while it was not at all certain that Russia would remain at Germany's side in the future.
 The Foreign Offices of both Allies were understood to have sent strong demands to Moscow today for clari- fication of Russia's position.

Does Roosevelt Mean By Suggesting This Nation
 Fall Back Now on Inf. Law!
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-What does the President mean when he suggests that the U. s. fall back on international law in preference to the neutrality act" designed for this country alone?
 The answer would vary, depending upon where you went to get it. New ertheless, there IS body of inter national law. Much of it has been accepted for centuries. Much of it is in serious dispute. Just now it is suffering an all-time low mark of honest observance.
 Edward M. Borchard of Columbia University, a foremost authority, in- sists, however, that even now inter national law is binding set of rules applied by and to states in their in- ternational intercourse.
 International law is a luckless code in one respect It is built up extensively in peace, only to be shat tered and diSregarded ln consider able part in war. Even in war, though, there is strict adherence to an extensive portion of it. For ex- ample, prisoners are not slaughtered now, as they once were.
 Yet, a ng-accepted rule against making war on defenseless citizens went overheard in the World War, and was not respected by the Ital- ians in Ethiopia, the Japanese in China, and perhaps not by the Ger mans in Poland.
 Development of air warfare was blamed. Rules respecting this zone of battle are so new that they do not carry the force of long custom and use that has established much international law.

LONDON, sept. %. - Prof. Sig mund Freud, 83, famed originator of psychoanalysis, died Saturday night. Prof. Freud left Vienna and came to England after the German occupation of Austria.
 Sigmund Freud long was known as the father of psychoanalysis,' but in later years was more accurately described as "the prophet of the sub-conscious." His researches in the dim recesses of buried human thought brought him worldwide acclaim and many honors, but in the end his religious heritage of Juda- ism made him victim of Nazi anti Semitism after "anschluss" of Ger many and Austria and on June 4, 1938, he fled his beloved Vienna to pass his final days in London exile.
 Virtually Penniless
 Then 82 years old and afflicted with throat trouble which had both- cred him since 1923, he arrived in the British capital virtually penni- less. All his property in Vienna had been confiscated and it was said later that he had been allowed to depart only after an emergency com-' mittee of the American Psychoana- lytic Association had raised $8,400 with which to pay to the German government a debt owed by The International Psychoanalytic Yer lag" a magazine which Freud had founded.
 But the octogenarian philosopher did carry to London most of his library and also took with him the partly completed manuscript of a Biblical analysis. This work, it was said, would explain the sub-consci-

The Western Front sprang to new left today as the major accom- paniment to the c e r m conflicS with Great Britain and France on the sea and in the air.
 French troops struck hard at the French positions in the Haardt Mountains. trying to find a weak spot in the Siegfried Line.
 All during the night, a heavy ex- change of artillery fire was heard from Germany and French posi- tions.
 Swiss reports declared that Brit ish or French war planes put out of commission one of Germanys main airplane motor factories in raid during the night on Fried richshafen.
 The German High Command de- nied that such a raid had taken place and said a number of British ships had been destroyed or sunk and eight French planes have been downed.
 Naval Engagement
 Norwegians on Algroi Island ex- pressed belief today that a naval engagement is under way in the Atlantic, where heavy cannonading was heard from unidentified yes- sells.
 Great Britain's Ministry of In- formation announced only propa- ganda leaflet raids over Germany had been carried out, and made no statement as to raids on Fried richshafen as reported.
 French military dispatches said heavy artillery has been brought to play in a bombardment of the main Qualifications of the Siegfried Line. Artillery Activity
 A Paris communique said there was activity by enemy artillery in an area southeast of Sweibrucken.
 War in its more bitter phase con- tinued on the Eastern front, where Warsaw still remains in Polish hands.

EGYPT HAD TREATIES

Those who read through the Pres ident's proclamation of neutrality, the one he called the regular pro clamation" to distinguished it from the one under the neutrality act, noted that it was based entirely on widely accepted international law.
 Among other things it prohibits belligerent warships using our ports for bases of operation. It orders our citizens to take no part in the com bat.
 International law, like the com mon law, sort of "growed up" with the times. Ancient Egypt had treaties with certain of her sister states in which all agreed to respect and protect one anothers embassies. Their international laws sounded like their own domestic laws. They were called natural" laws or flaws of all mankind.
 Rome enforced code largely of it's own making, but Rome recog- nized the older principles. Interna- tional law became really important when Europe began segregating it. self into independent states. It had haphazard growth through the middle centuries until scholarly fContinupd 0n Page FiOtlr)

FAMOUS MOTION PICTURE PRODUCER, CARL LAEMMLE,
 OF UNIVERSAL, DIES SUNDAY

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal, Sept. 25. Carl Laemmle Sr., 72, pioneer mo- tion picture producer, died Sunday at his home here. He got his start in the movie world as a nickelodeon proprietor, then established the Uni versal Studio, the largest in the in- dustry and introduced the star sys- tenn to the screen. He made the first million d dollar picture, Foolish Wives"
 Carl Laemmle lanued in America, a German immigrant with less than $50 in his pockets, in 1884, and achieved a commanding position in the country's second largest industry only after years of struggle.
 Laemmle was born at Laupheim, Wurttemberg, Germany, January l7, 1867. His first position in the United States was that of a drug clerk, ob- tained within few days of his land- ing. As soon as he had saved sui ficient money, he came West, and was at various times a department store clerk in Chicago, a farm hand at a wage of $4 month in South Dakota, bookkeeper in Chicago jewelry store, /ld a clerk at the Chicago stockyards. He became an American citizen in 1889.
 Ten years later he had worked hls way to the managership of the Con- tinental Clothing Company of Os- kosh, Wis, and had saved enough to marry. His bride was Recha Stern of Flieden, Germany.
 Starts NickelOdeOn
 With his savings of $3,600, Laem- mle moved back to Chicago intend ing to promote chin of five and ten cent stores. The newly popular ized movies" seemed to offer a greater field for investment, how ever. and Laemmle staked his en- tire capital in outfitting nickelo- deon.
 This nucleus of what became one of the largest amusement enterprls- es in the world was tiny re-vamped clothing store, fitted with 120 chairs rented from an undertaken.
 Laemmle painted it a brilliant white so that it would stand out among the dingy clothing shops which were it's neighbors on Mil waukee Avenue, and christened it "The Whitefront" He adopted his chain-store idea to nickelodeons and soon he had nearly a dozen in Chi cago.
 Establishes Branches
 The increase in theaters, however soon exhausted the available supply of pictures, and receipts began te fall off. Laemmle decided to go into the wholesale motion picture ex- change business.
 He needed more capital and put his dilemma before R. H. Cochrane his advertising manager. Cochrant promptly took his own life savings
