that in face Of this knowledge, the
expeditionary force prepared for
Finland had been partially dispersed.
Regardless of the fact that the allies
could not tell where the blow was
going to fall, it does seem that the
keeping in hand of the whole of the
Finnish expeditionary army would
have been but the minimum of pre-
caution, and that at least something
in the nature of preliminary surveys
tor possible air-base sites might
have been undertaken in Norway by
agents.
1t is too early to assess the effect
upon the neutral states of Europe of
the allied withdrawal from Central
Norway. If not countered by an i'm
mediate success elsewhere, this effect
seems likely to be profound. From
Stockholm comes reports of the
shock already produced on Swedish
opinion, and from Germany sugges-
tions that strong allied concentra-
ton at Narvik might force Germany
to take masures on Swedish soil for
the defense of her iron-ore supplies,
Attack on Narvik Possible.
An attack in force on Narvik
seems quite probable, both for the
intrinsic value of possessing this
port and as possible offset to the
disaster farther south. With the
Trondheim gateway locked, the Mar
vik gateway remains the only pos
sible route. by which Sweden may
maintain contact with the outer
world save with German leave. En-
ergetic action in the Narvik area
might just possibly revive the droop-
ing Swedish spirits: at the moment,
no one could blame the Swedes if
they yielded to German pressure.
cut off as they are from any imme-
diate hope of outside aid.
Thus, so far as Norway is con-
cerned, allied efforts seem likely to
turn to the northward, and certainly
a very great effort may yet be put
forward not only to maintain con-
tact with Sweden but also to take
such measures as shall at least as
sure that the Germans shall not,
without interference and risk, be
able to use the whole coast of
Southern Norway as a base of sub
marine and air action against Great
Britain. Were this to become possi-
BILE, the results might well be ex.
tremely serious. It was with this OBJ
tective In mind, one may be certain,
that the Germans undertook the
risks of their expedition to Norway.

Bruce Carries
Campaign Into
Enemy Country
BY WILL p. KENNEDY,
Star Stan Correspondent.

BALTIMORE, May 3-Howard
Bruce, with a group Of more than
20 local political and business
leaders, toured the enemy country
in Carroll County today receiving an
Unexpectedly large number Of pledges
of support in his campaign for the
Democratic nomination for United

Hartford County yesterday, was given
much encouragement" that he
might get an even break-and even
heard some predictions that he can
defeat the Tydings- -Radclif1e-Jack-
son alliance in Senator Tydings
home county.
Mr.. Bruce spent Is hours cam
paigning yesterday-10 in Hartford
County and five in addressing nine
rallies in Baltimore last night. At
three of these he replied to charges
made by Mayor Jackson in radio
talk that he was endeavoring to stir
up race and religious prejudice. He
had an equally strenuous program
today.
He reached Westminster at 10
I'M, where he met a group of county
leaders. He visited a clothing fac
tory in Westminster, q clothing fac
tory in Manchester, a rubber plant
and shirt factory in Taneytown, a
cement plant. clothing and pants
factories in Union Bridge. He was
conducted on this tour by George
Mitchell. the Bruce chairman for the

support directly to thousands OF
workers who warmly applauded him

Washingtonians recall that not so
long ago Mr.. D'Alesandro, as acting
chairman Of the Public Health and
Hospitals Subcommittee of the
House District Committee, conducted
an exhaustive investigation at the
Blue Plains institution. Mrs. Roose-

inquiry and subsequently established
a precedent for a wife of President
by testifying before the D'Alesandro
investigating committee.

taste suspiciously warmed over.
 Night clubs and dance halls, where dancing of course is forbidden, try to amuse their customers by pre- senting entertainers, but, with a single exception, they must be closed at II D. m. They formerly were per- mitted to remain open until 3 a. m.
 To add to the difficulties of stay ing out too late, subways close down by 11:30 D. n1., few buses or trolley cars run all night, and the very few taxis and private cars cannot be used for social purposes under penalty of heavy fine.
 But everyone by now takes this in stride. Blackouts are routine to everyone but the elderly and infirm For their benefit, some theaters call special attention in their advertise ments to the fact that the perform ance on such-and-such @ date will take place during a full moon, when raiders are more apt to come.
 More Time To Read
 Germans now have more time for reading and among best-sellers are Dale Carnegie's "how to win friends and ir fluence people" Walter Pitt kin's Life Begins at 40," Marga- ret Mitchell's gone with the wind" and several German novels.
 The usual amount of propaganda in book form still is being turned out but book sellers report there is not much demand for it. German translations of British novels were taken from the book shelves at the start of the war, but pirated Eng fish editions continue to be sold and read avidly not only for pleasure but also by students of officially -spon- sored English language courses. There has been improvement dur ing the past few months in the quality of the beer, but it still is not as good as the pre-war product. There are no signs of an increase in drunkenness, but authorities report there had been a general increase in alcohol consumption since the war began. Champagne, despite the high war tax, is being bought more than ever before.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-13

But the curtailment of Berlin amuSements by the British bomb- ing raids varies greatly. For time, when the air raid sirens howled four or five times week, the capitals amusement business tottered, but now it is back on its feet again and tickets to the movies, theaters, con- cert halls and opera houses must be purchased days in advance.
 Four weeks ago it was different. TheaterS were half-filled for the last performance and the spectators would look nervously at watches and jump noticeably at every loud street noise.
 Hard To Get laughs
 An actress in one of the most suc- ceSSflA Berlin comedies complained to me that it was impossible then to 'get more than a weak, tense laugh from situation that ordinarily would set audiences rocking.
 But there .have been only two comparatively short alarms in the past three weeks and theaters are playing to full houses again.
 Theater-goer have a varied se- lection. Today's newspapers list three operas-Sicilian Vespers, Man on Lescaut, and Cavalleria Rusti- cana: musicals such as 'The Merry Widow" and T married an Angel" and Q number of variety shows.
 The big cinema event of the week is the premiere of "Tismark."
 English Works Heard
 There is no evidence of English works being barred from the stage here. Shakespeare is played reg rllarly. Richard II is now on. George Bernard Shaw's plays, popu- lar here several years ago, are not being presented now.
 Propaganda is confined mostly to the movies. although many of the a few patriotic jokes" Three anti semitic films running currently are ''the eternal Jew" "Rothschild," and "Suess."
 There have been no documentary war films since baptism of fire" !" but several along the same lines are scheduled for release soon. Produc- tion charts of the big film com- panies show a large number of an- ti-British pictures ranging from a Boer war picture to films on the Irish question and the secret serv- ice.
 Besides going to the theater, there is litsle the average German can do for amusement. Dancing, except for a brief period in July has been for biddgn since the German armies marched into the lowland countries. Also the pee-war middle-class cus- tom of dining out of an evening is disappearing. It is seldom now that anyone can scrape together the nec- essary meat tickets for eating out.
 Early To Bed Nation
 The 8:30 p. m. curfew at theaters and blackout regulations are mak- ing Germany an early-to-bed nation. There is very little incentive to stay out late. Restaurants are forbidden to serve warm meals after 10 p. m. and meals even between 9:30 and 10 D. m. at the ordinary restaurant
