No Business
Can Stand Still

the Life Insurance Sales Re.
search Bureau, supported by the
insurance companies, has been
conducting research which has
improved distribution methods
and raised the service standards
of the agent.
Now, there's a new step for
ward. The companies have just
established the S. S. Huebner
Foundation at the University of
Pennsylvania. Named for a cele-
brated scholar who has devoted
his life to the teaching of insur-
ance subjects, it will promote
new research in life insurance
and at the same time develop
more trained teachers of life in
surance for American colleges
and universities.
Thus life insurance recognizes
again its social obligations to
find better ways to conduct its
business in the public interest.
1t recognizes the fact that the
millions of policyholders who
own life insurance have a great
stake in the business; therefore,
it cannot stand still

Apparent Last Warning
Given ThoiIond by Viohy
BY Radio to The Star.

BY Radio to The Star.
VICHY, Dec. 2.-In what appears
to be last warning to Thailand,
Vichy's newly appointed French
Minister to Thailand, M. Garreau,
handed the Thai government an
energetic note of protest yesterday
intimating that Thailand would as
sumo the whole responsibility for
forthcoming events and that France
would take the necessary steps to
repulse any attack on French pos
sessions. Minister Garreau arrived
at Bangkok two days ago.
French colonial circles today are
seemingly uninformed about mill
tary operations which are reported
to have started on the Thailand-
Indo-China frontier and refuse to
comment although stating that the
affair is in the hands of the French
high commissioner, Admiral Jean
DecouX.
While the Vichy government
shows the greatest calm with re-
>spect to the situation in Indo- China,
1t expresses the intention to take a
firm stand against any concessions
TO Thailand.
That's Minister to Vichy called
yesterday at the French office for
it is stated, "the peaceful reason of
inviting a high official to dinner"

Visitor From London
Reports Business
Thrives Despite War
Says Her Firm Plans
To Publish Many
Books in Spring

Another example of Englands re-
markable capacity for business as
usual" despite continuous air at
tacks was revealed here today by
London publisher who reported that
her firm is now preparing quite a
tolerable number of books" for
spring publication.
Mrs. Maisie Ward Sheed of the
house of Sheed g. Ward, who came
to Washington for speaking en-
gagement, said she was amazed"
how her publishing business keeps
going.
I'VE seem to be doing pretty well,
despite the war and the terrible
bombing of London" she asserted.
I'm fact, my husband, Frank, is on
his way back to England to help pre-
pare the spring list. I suppose the
fact that most of our printing is
done is rural districts has saved the
business"
She said she has noticed that
books of "a purely theological ma
ture" have become popular since
AlOobA4AOACo oJdA ICO. I1Cl llOuSc puD-
fishes religious, philosophical and
books of a generally erudite nature.
Mrs. Sheed, whose biography Of
Gilbert X. Chesterton will be pub
lished in the spring, discussed the
life and works of the noted writer
in a talk before the Washingto'-
Catholic Evidence Guild at the
Washington Hotel Originally, re.
husband had been scheduled to ss.E
Dwelling at some length on the
instinct for fundamental truth" of
the master of the paradox, Mrs.
Sheed said his carelessness for de-
tails has been noted by many read
ers, and, in fact, it was discovered
that in history of England he
wrote only one date was mentioned,
and that was inaccurate.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheed brought their
two children to Torresdale, "a most
delightful little place near Philadel-
phla," about six months ago. The
family will be here at least for the
duration" although Mr.. Sheed will
probably be going back and forth
on matters of business. Originally,
the firm partners used to Journey
here each year, leaving their chill

Port Main Objective
OF Night Air Attacks

LONDON. Dec. 2 (P.-Southamp-
ton, Britain's vital south coast port,
again was singled out by German
air raiders last night as the main
objective" of their aerial onslaughts
on England.
A government communique, con-
firming a German report that
Southampton, once the main port of
call for transatlantic liners, was
the principal target of raiders for
the second successive night, said
"a number of fires were caused, but
they were all under control by day
break"
Earlier censors had refused to
permit identification of the town
and dispatches called it south
coast town" The British said then,
however. that casualties were ex-
pected to be lighter than in the
violent onslaught on Southampton
Saturday night, when the port, 80
miles southwest of London, got its
worst raking of the war.
French Objectives Attacked.
British bombers, meanwhile, at
tackled objectives at Lorient and
Brest in France and also in Norway
and Denmark, the Air Ministry said.
The submarine base and naval
docks at Lorient and the power
station, jetty and drydockS at Brest
were reported attacked, as well as
military camp at Kristiansand,
Norway, where bombs were said to
nave fallen among the barracks
buildings and warehouses on
the quayside."
Another aircraft of the coastal
command made a successful attack
on the gas works at Asbjerg, in
Denmark" a communique said. "An
explosion followed the bombing and
flames covered the whole area"
(The German high command
said several British planes at
tackled a German city in the
coastal region" bombing resi-
Dental sections and injuring
several persons)
Axis aircraft were reported in the
vicinity of Liverpool this afternoon.
London Has ''2-Alert" Night.
The raids in the south began
early last night, with many Nazi
planes crossing the coast. First
they dropped flares to light their
targets and followed with incendi-
ary and high explosive bombs. In
one area a raider was said to have
come down to spray tracer machine
gun bullets into the darkness.
London had a "two-alert" night,
the first all clear coming fairly
early and the second soon after
midnight. The alert periods were
marked by heavy anti-aircraft
barrages.

Quick Ticket SeIIout
Indicated for Sundays
Redskin-Beo Tilt

An early sell-out for the profess
sional football championship playoff
here next Sunday seemed likely to-
day, judging from the response to
the first days sale of tickets at
Griffith Stadium.
Their appetites sharpened by the
bruising preview of the finale No
vember IT, football fans crowded
around the ballpark today in a
scramble for choice spots in the
stands when the Washington Red
skins meet the Chicago Bears.
1t was apparently only question
of time before the demand would
exceed the supply, since some 10000
tickets were distributed over the
week end to season ticket-holders.
A ban on standing room will limit
the attendance to around $4,000.
Some ticket t-seekers braved the
cold to stand in line all night at
the stadium, and they were on hand
when the box Office opened at $3.50
am. BY II o'clock there were four
lines extending out to Georgia ave.

avenue. Extra police were called to
keep order.
mo more than two seats were being
sold to any customer, and no reser-
vations were being accepted.
Extra bleacher seats back OF the
east goal, installed for the regular
season game with the Bears on
November II, have been retained,
but no additional seats are planned.
The game will mark the first time
that Washington has played host to
the playoff between the eastern and
western division champions since
the Redskins moved to Washington
in 1897. The Redskins reached the
playoff that year and beat the Bears
for the world championship in a
game played at Chicago.

alarms yesterday and numerous air
battles were reported over the chan
mel and the southeast coast. The
British said eight German planes
and five British were shot down
during the day. All British pilots
were reported safe.
At nightfall the raiders spread
out over the island, striking mainly
at the south coast, but a Midland
town, a southwest town and the
important port of Liverpool on the
west coast also reported activity
overhead.
Submarine Triad Lost.
An air raid official in Southamp-
ton. discussing the heavy Saturday
night raid on that town of about
175,000 population, declared that 'if
ever there was an indiscriminate
bombing, We have had it here"
Many buildings in the center of
the city were wrecked. Several
churches were destroyed, as well as
a theater, newspaper Office,
lending library, many shops and
homes. The government said all
fires we're under control and that
the homeless were being cared for.
November Plane Successes.
The Admiralty reported the 1890

presumed lost. She was a sister
ship of the Thetis, which foundered
on a trial dive June /, 1899. The
Triad, whose normal complement
was So torpedoed a 4,o0o-ton supply
ship in Oslo Fjord April and nine
days later attacked a convoy of sup
ply ships. Two of her torpedoes
were reported to have found their

Official sources said the Royal Air
Force had downed 201 German and
20 Italian planes over Britain and
British waters in November. This
was exclusive of planes brought
down by anti-aircraft fire from ships
or by the fleet air arm. Eight
German planes were said to have
been destroyed over axis or axis

HANOI, French Indo- China, Dec
2.-Sharp hostilities on French
Indo- -China's border with Thailano
(Siam) apparently were continuing
today, but colonial officials said they
had no details of the fighting, evil
IDENTIFY centered around the border
town of Thakhek.
(Radio reports received In
vichy, France, also indicated that
fighting between Thai,and and
Indo-China had taken serious
turn, but officials there, too, said
they had no definite information)
A communioue issued today said
the 500-ton Indo-Chinese naval ves-
sel Beryle had been attacked by Thai
planes yesterday in the Gulf of Siam,
on which both Indo-China and
Thailand have coasts. In first
attack, II said, nine bombs fell harm
lessly and in a second attack the
Beryle's anti-aircraft guns drove off
the bombers, damaging one.
Unprotected Bandong Island, 40
miles below Vientiane, was occupied
by Thai forces without fight, the
communique added.
Situation Declared Grave.
All communication with Bangkok,
capital of Thailand, remained bro
ken. French officials reiterated that
the situation is grave.
Native uprisings continued also in
Southern Indo-China. Officials said
they were taking strong action to
suppress them.
