MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. T. Thomas E. Dewey, District Attorney of New York, has launched his cam paign for the Republican Presiden- tial nomination with an attack on what he termed New Deal defeat- ism.
 In effect. Dewey told 5000 cheer ing persons, who crowded the Mu- nicipal Auditorium, that the New Deal philosophy is: There is mo- thing left to do-all that remains is to divide up what we got from the Indians"
 Dewey also charged that the New Deal has kept the energy of Amer ican enterprise, both great and small, from going to work on account of taxation and economic quackery

TWO YEARS TO CROSS

It is true that if some of the float ing mines got out through the Eng fish Channel they might find their way across, following the southern route by way of the Azores, but 1t takes a bottle with a letter in 1t about two years to make the jour- ney. By that time a mine would be so encrusted with barnacles and oth- CT free-riding sea objects that it probably couldn't explode anyway The Gulf stream itself prevents mines from taking the northern route.
 Just so you won't feel too safe, if any mines were released in front of Canadian ports, such as Halifax, the Labrador current might bring them down along our north Atlan- tic coast. Moreover, they would re- main active for a longer time, be- cause barnacles don't grow so fast in those chilly waters.
 The Navy has m aps of every ocean current between the poles. For complex currents the tangle of little arrows that describe those in the North Sea can't all be put on one map It takes 12 separate maps, one for each hour between high tides.
 One floating mine loosed along the British North Sea coast might roam up and down from one end of the island to the other. Occas- ionally it might get into little swirling current for ride out into the North Sea and back before re- suming its up and down cruise. It is a very discouraging prospect for ship to dave mines ambling about that way.

(By Associated Press)

One week after invading Fin- land, Russia reports that the Red Army has broken through the main Finnish defense line on the Karelian Isthmus, north of Len ingrad The Russians claim sllc- cess in the narrow neck of land where the main forces of the two nations have battled since the 1n- vasion started on November 30
 The Soviet claims were followed by Finnish reports that all Rus sian attacks have been repulsed as the war entered the second week.
 Given Outside Aid
 The embattled Finland forces have received, in a measure, out side aid, although its extent and significance remains unclear.
 Two hundred and thirty Finnish Americans, some of whom have never before seen Finland, arrived at Helsinki to help fight Russia. Members of this contingent said others are coming.
 Great Britain firms have ar ranged whereby Finland can obtain 30 British warplanes and other war materials, establishing a preee- dent that might permit of further British assistance to the Films.
 Planes Delivered
 Italian bombers, ordered before the invasion started, are reported to be reaching Finland, over land flights.
 Foreign Ministers of Norway. Sweden and Denmark met at Oslo to consider ways of giving assis- tance to Finland, non-mIiitary aid.
 President Roosevelt has conferred with officials on ways of render ing assistance to Finland and pro- poses to set aside the December l5 war debt payment for possible use for Finnish relief.
 Invaders Repulsed
 Deports reaching London claim the Films are repulsing the in- vaders in bloody conflicts and the losses to the defenders are nil to those of the Russians.
 It is also understood that Nor way and Sweden have drawn 8 sea line around their coasts and any invaders will be attacked.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Dec. 7.-Spencer Penrose, "A, mining man, capitalist and builder of the Broad moor hotel, died early today from a throat ailment.
 Penrose came out of the Colorado gold fields at the turn of the cen tury with a fortune and resolve to enjoy life.
 Mining deals in the early days Of the Cripple Creek boom gave him his financial start; successful oper- ation of copper companies ballooned his wealth. With cost no handicap, be built an elaborate playground at Broadmoor, six miles from Colorado Springs and for more than a gen. eration let neither advancing age nor the responsibilities of his varied financial interests interfere with gaiety.
 Memorial To Rogers

THE CORPORATE DEVICE

If you are to believe the recent
statement of Thurman Arnold, in
charge of the antitrust division OF
the Department of Justice on that
Committee, you will have to accept
his statement that the corporate
device is privilege that has
grown up because Government has
let things too much alone"
The Sherman Act was the original
anto-monopoly Federal statute and
1t went into effect in 1890. Thus, for
half century the Federal Govern
ment has maintained strict super
vision over corporations. and the
charge that 'the corporate device"
or the further allegation that "tfe
Government has left things too much
alone" doesn't seem to stand up, as
reasonable.
Modern statesmen and politicians
are prone to forget that giant ma
tional monopoly was hastily organiz-
ed by the Federal Government at the
time of tahe World War. In the sue
ceeding years trade associations en-
joyed good health. as the industries
and businesses of the country, sought
what Mr. Harding called 'normalcy"
in their economic standards. But the
National Recovery Administration
and the Supreme Court we're to write
new chapters into the story of mon
opoly"
In the light of these facts it seems
that "the corporate device" was, af-
ter all, carefully devised Govern
ment policy, and not privilege.

able to contract with them. This
show consists of about twenty div
ing girls and is full of surprises from
start to finish. We are happy to an
nounce that we have their contract

The night show requires 300
