 '"The German troops took as much war material as they could carry and returned unhindered to the Ger man side of the frontier" the an- nouncement said.
 French Report
 Paris, Oct. 31.-(UP)-German big guns are shelling objectives far behind the French lines for the firStt ime since the war started, 1t was disclosed today.
 One village about six miles be- hind the front lines was shelled yes- terday afternoon. It was estimated that the guns were about an equal distance behind the German lines
 French batteries retorted to the German fire.
 Intensive activity by patrols was resumed on both sides in the Mo- selle, Saarbruecken and Blies sec tors of the front. during tempor- ary lull in the rains.
 { The French took two prisoners in raids on the German front lines and the Germans took one French prisoner, 1t was made known.

 3. A motion, probably by Rep John M. Vorys, T., O., to insist on elimination of the senate provision giving President Roosevelt authority to define combat zones" inside which it would be unlawful for American ships or aircraft to travel
 Lie On Speakers Table
 If the resolution to send the bill to conference is defeated, the meas ure technically will lie on the speakers table. The administration then would have no choice but to leave 1t there, or refer 1t to the House Foreign Affairs committee for further study.
 But if that resolution is adopted, the fight will continue on motions to instruct the house conferees. Speaker William B. Bankhead al- ready has announced he intends to appoint these five members of the House Foreign Affairs committee as congerees: Chairman Sol Bloom, d., N. Y., and Reps. Luther A. Johnson, d., Tex, John Kee, d., w. Va, Fish, and Charles A. Eaton, T., N. J.
 There will be no time limit on debate on the motions to instruct the conferees. nor on the number of motions provided they are offered in accordance with the rather com plicated procedure made necessary by house rules.
 Majority Leader Sam Rayburn, d., Tex, will have the right at any time, however, to move the previous question, and if he has the votes to back him up, 1t will end debate forthwith. But Rayburn has prom l ised opponents he will allow debate to proceed for . couple of days be- fore making any move to force the issue

Roosevelt in 1940 Most of Wheeler's bolting Demo- cratic associates in the supreme court contest were back on the New Deal bandwagon last week when the senate repealed the arms em- bargo. But Wheeler voted mo" and he must be counted among the anti New Deal Democrats.
 Break Developing
 The break between Lewis and Mir Roosevelt has been developing grad- ually since 1886 when the United Mine Workers of America loaned and gave around $450,000 to the Democratic campaign, state and na- tional. There were few surface in- dications of the break although the president once wished plague on both your houses" in protest against trouble developing from the 1887 strike of the CLOS steel workers or- ganizing committee against little steel" companies. The reference was to both the CIO and the steel com- panies.
 Not outdone in command of lit- erary quotation, Lewis snapped that it ill becomes one who has supped at labor's table" so to speak of a host. In private conversation Lewis has been critical of the Roosevelt administration on the broad grounds that after its years in office fundamental and, Lewis contends, preventable ills still beset the na- tional economy.
 The AFL and CIO between them have been unable to make any prog ress whatever toward the labor peace for which MT. Roosevelt re- peatedly has pleaded, and that is an inevitable factor in the relation ships of all concerned.

(COnt1nued rom Page ID campaign asking French troops why they were fighting.
 The raid was not the first time Nazi soldiers had been on French soil, however. During the Ger man counter offensive, one unit over-ran its objective and entered French village in the Moselle sec tor. (French dispatches at the time reported the Germans had been driv- en back quickly, many of them be- ing captured)
 Near MaginOt Line
 The announcement said that Ger man troops secuted the territory in front of the Maginot Line and came upon a French second line of de- fense immediately behind the from tier posts. The Line, the Germans said, had been abandoned.
 The official German news agency, disputing French and British re- ports of heavy German losses in engagements on the western front said that from the start of the war to October IT German losses were 196 killed. 356 wounded and IA missing. It was announced that II enemy planes were shot down dur ing that period.
 "No change in these figures worth speaking of has taken place since October IT," the agency said.
 The high command said that Ger man troops scouting the frontier found an uncompleted line of French trenches which had been abandoned in haste less than half mile from the first French village they en- countered.
 Nobody at Home
 German troops cautiously entered houses on the outskirts of the vil- lage, the high command announced, No soldiers or inhabitants were seen and the houses were in disorder. No enemy fire hindered the Germans
 On the road to a second village the Germans found abandoned ma chine gun nests and shelters, indi- cgating sudden evacuation. The second village also had been abon- doned.
 German troops returning by arl- other road. found that all positions had been evacuated in haste" the announcement said. Much muni- tions, steel helmets and other arm- ament was strewn about"

PRESIDENT ON
 THANKSGIVING DAY
tContinued rum Page i)

President Washington and his successors invited the people of the nation to lay down their tasks one day in the year and give thanks for the blessings that had been granted them by Divine Providence.
 REvERENT THOUGHTS
 'It is fitting that we should con- tinue this hallowed custom and select . day in 1889 to be dedi- cated to reverent thoughts of thanksgiving.
 Our nation has gone steadily forward in the application of Democratic processes to economic and social problems. We have faced the spectres of business de- pression, of unemployment, and of widespread agricultural distress, and our positive efforts to aIlevi- ate these conditions have met with heartening results.
 We have also been permitted to sec the fruition of measures which we have undertaken in the realms of health, social welfare, and the conservation of resources. As . nation we are deeply grate- full that in . world of turmoil we are at peace with all countries, and we especially rejoice in the strengthened bonds of our friend- ship with the other peoples of the western hemisphere.
 LET US GIVE THANKS
 Let us, on the day set aside for this purpose, give thanks to the ruler of the universe for the strength which he has vouchsafed us to. carry on our daily labors and for the hope that lives within us of the coming of . day when peace and the productive activities of peace shall reign on every con- tinent.
 ~In witness whereof, have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States of America to De affixed.

NEUTRALITY BILL
 FIGHT IN HOUSE
,Continued from Page I,

Majority Leader Sam Rayburn said he planned to ask the House to meet at II a. m. tomorrow-an hour earlier than usual = to give added time for debate. He objected when two members sought speaking time in advance of the neutrality debate.
 Fish Is Confident
 Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., N. Y., leader of the pro-embargo legisla- tors, said his group had @ good chance to defeat the rule. Adminis- tration leaders claimed that they would have 30 or 40 votes to spare. Both sides, however, admitted that the vote would be close.
 The administration seemed to be getting the breaks" on the first test. The death Sunday of Rep. Chester c. Bolton, R., O., not only cost the opposition one vote, but six members, five of whom were ex- pected to vote against the adminis- tration if present, were in Cleveland. to attend his funeral.
 Fish charged the rules committees s 8 to 4 decision to ask for a confer ence with the Senate under proce- dure which would not permit the House to amend the bill was "the most vicious gag we have ever had" The rules committee split along strict party lines.
 Conceding the possibility of adop- tion of the rules committee resolu- ton. embargo repeal opponents map ped out these three secondary lines on which to continue the attack against the Senate bill.
 How They Will Attack
 1. A motion by Fish to instruct house conferees to insist upon drop ping the senate's embargo repeal sec ton and retention of the house-ap- proved modified arms embargo, prohibiting export of arms, ammuni- ton, poisonous gas, liquid fire and flame throwers. This would permit a roll test on the identical issue on which the house voted against the administration, PA to 173, last June 30.
 ?. A motion by Rep. Jesse F. Wolcott, T., Mich, to plug alleged ''loopholes" in the bills ban on

 venna. Later he commanded legions in other regions.
 Mutt served as an aviator, with the rank only of lieutenant. during the Ethiopian war. He won a string of medals for bravery. In September. l936, he was the first officer to vol- unteer for service in the Spanish civil war. In that campaign. he was called the Falcon of the Balearics" After his return home he took part In the occupation of Albania. He holds seven Spanish decorations.

tContinued from rage II weeks ago after a dinner party at the Jugoslav legation i~ London The guests included the Turkish ambassador to London and the min- isters from Jugoslav, Rumania, Bull garia and Greece. They dined to- gether again late last week.
 Information reaching London said that the Italian and Greek govern mentS already have agreed to reaf. firm their 1920 non-aggression pact It was recalled that only month ago Italian and Greek troops, which had confronted each other on the Albanian frontier since Italy,s con. quest of Albania last spring, wert withdrawn.
 Fear Is Growing
 The urge towards unification oi the Balkans, diplomats said, has been increased by growing fear oi German and Russian aggrandize- ment. A week ago the German min- ister to Bucharest, Dr. Wilhelm Fabrisius, lon his own initiative and without instructions from Berlin, ,' told the Rumanian government that Germany may reconsider her atti- tude towards Rumania. His action followed conclusion of the Anglo Franco-Turkish treaty and he inti- mated that Germany might cease to regard Rumania and Turkey as neu- trals.
 Italo-Turkish and Italo-Jugoslav relations have been improving rap- idly recently, diplomats said, al- though Ankara and Belgrade, as well as Athens, have not been able to overcome in a few weeks the sus- picions and rivalries which have sep- arated them from Italy for most of the time since the last World War. Diplomats favoring events develop ing in the Balkans said they were encouraged by indications that Italy desires representation in the propos- ed Belgrade conference.
 Supersede 1884 Entente
 The purpose of the proposed Bel grade conference would be to super sede the 1884 Balkan entente by a Pan-Balkan military alliance. The Balkan entente provides for mutual aid among the Balkan states against any Balkan power committing ag- gression against any other Balkan nations against any Balkan power attacking one or more Balkan countries.
 The conference also would aim al extending the Balkan entente to in- clude Hungary and Bulgaria. Mem- bership in the Balkan entente now is limited to Jugoslavia, Rumania Turkey and Greece.

Oct. 31-(UP)-Passed by field cen sor)-The Nazis are tanning news broadcasts of the British Broadcast ing company from time to time. At 8 o'clock this morning (2 a. m EST) they jammed the broadcast at the exact moment that an aa- nouncement was given of the prog ress of the captured American freighter City of Flint down the Norwegian coast toward Germany.
 It was believed at general head quarters here that the object was tc keep news of the City of Flint from the hundreds of British trawlers and small naval units in the North Sea. As soon as the City of Flint bulle- tin had ended, the tanning stopped and musical program brought nc interference.
 U. s. Government Warns
 Washington, October 31. - (UP) - The U. s. Government, it was learned at the State Department to- day, is informing Great Britain and Germany of its expectation that all belligerents will guard against ex- posing the 41 Americans on the City of Flint to unnecessary dangers. Instructions have been forwarded to the London and Berlin embassies also to make representations of this governments concern for the safety of the Flint's American crew.
 The U. s. representations empha- sized the grave concern that officials feel for the safety Of the Americans There was no official explanat tion of the term expectation" that dan- ger to the Americans will be avoid ed, but 1t carried the implied feeling that the U. s. would look seriously on any action endangering the Amer jeans.
 Every Step Taken
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull said yesterday that every step was being taken that could be calculate to contribute most to the safety of the Americans, and showed concern for their welfare.
 There was no further official news from the Flint. The vessel left route to some Germany port from Murmant, Russia.
 Reports from abroad that the American crew was threatened by the 17 man german prize, crew, that the prize crew planned to blow up the Flint in case the British were about to take 1t, that the vessel was headed through waters infested with wild mines, served to accentuate concern felt here.
 It was expected that the State Department instructions to Berlin and London would be promptly car ried out in view of the fact that the Flint is somewhere in the North Sea, ready to risk the double jeopardy of mines and the British blockade.
