Eve will not turn back from
our determination to wipe out
dictatorship, aggression and
bullying tactics in international
diplomacy until our cause is
won", Churchill told his people.
Meanwhile, it was learned
that the Germans were engaged
in heavy troop movements be-
hind the West Front lines. The
Allies were attempting to break
up the maneuvers with heavy ar
tillery fire, both in the Lorraine
sector, and across the Rhine
river.
France reported that there was
increasing proof evident that a
strong offensive will be launched
by Hitler in the near future. Re-
ports that the Nazi leader was
going to risk 100000 soldiers in
a desperate drive through the
Maginot Line had been heard but
could not be confirmed.
England prepared further Of
,fensive moves through the air
and announced today, through
the air ministry, that the time
was not far off when any attacks
thought necessary to bring the
war home to the Nazis, entailing
commandments of military CEN
tiers of Germany, could be sue
cessfully ventured.

BRIToNS WORK AND KNIT

DR.. Thomas Wood. an Off
ci-I CT the vasf English war
machine. asked and answered
two pertinent questions con-
corning the present conflict
while broadcasting in the Sc
ries Of talks. Tn England
Now.
His first query was What is
this war like?" and answered
Work! In peacetime every
body works but now that we
are at war. we work a little
harder.
What difference is there in
England now?" was his Sec
ond interrogation. and in re-
ply he said. Very little. There
is one very noticeable change.
This is knitting: everybody is
knitting. AT the beginning of
the war. English officials en-
couraged knitting in order
that the men who do the actual
fighting would be well sup
piled with warm and necessary
articles of clothina.
Mr.. Wood also declared that
there was change in mind.
He said that in 1888 the Brit
ish people were miserable but
now that war has come. they
are relieved.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81.
Anyone who has met Infantile
Paralysis face to face is forever a
loyal member of the army which
has banded together in this coun-
try to Fight Infantile Paralysis.
By face to face" / do not mean
as a victim of the disease, nor
even as parent, brother or sis
ter of victim. 1t is not neces-
sary to suffer the tragedy of this
illness in your own family in or
der to appreciate the need for
help in combating Infantile
Paralysis, which exists in this
country.
All you have to do, to under
stand and to feel the urge to get
to work, is meet one person who
has had Infantile Paralysis, look
him in the eye, talk to him, see
what it has done to him. After
that, you will enlist with the
Committee for the Celebration OF
the Presidents Birthday for the
duration of the crusade.
Many of us never have had di-
rect contect with an Infantile
Paralysis victim. 1t is difficult to
imagine, sight unseen, what it
would be like to go to bed one
day, feverish and i'll but possess
ed of all your faculties, and come
out of a hospital some months
later unable to walk or move
your arms or sit up straight! Yet
that is what countless thousands
in this land have had to face.

I was travelling through the towns
and cities of my district, seeing

CITY OF FLINT
RETURNS HOME
ENDED ll3 DAYS OF WAR
TIME ADVEN-
TURE
;By Associated PressD

BALTIMORE, Jan. 27.-The
City of Flint landed here today,
at the end of l13 days of wartime
adventure seldom encountered in
the annals of history.
This city gave the ships cap
tain and crew a royal welcome
this noon upon docking, and pro-
ceeded to question all on board as
TO their adventures. The captain,
however, appeared reluctant to
discuss the happenings that made
headline news for many days fol-
lowing the capture by a German
U-boat and taking over by prize
crew.
Members of the crew, however,
told newspapermen that the cap
tain was hard put to it" to keep
from creating a dangerous situa-
ton. Time and again he had to
forcibly restrain his men from
engaging in fights with the prize
crew members, they said, and at
one time the skipper despaired of
saving his ship because of the
bitter feelings existing.
The City of Flint steamed up
Chesapeake Bay with huge letter
ings on its side, painted between
immense American flags. 1t car
ried a cargo of iron ore taken on
at a Norwegian port.
Norway, it is remembered, was
the nation that took over the
vessel while enroute from a Rus
sian port to some point in Ger
many.

BELL RINGERS
HALT PROGRAM

Announcement was made this
noon that the Mason Bell Ring
ers concert, scheduled for to-
night at Fleming Street Church,
has been cancelled because of the
cold weather.
It is not certain whether or not
the artists will be held over for a
concert of their unusual instru-
manipulating. Engagements else
where will probably not allow
the engagement to be filled
later.

Murdock
Explains Vote

Explaining his vote on the bill to
deport Communist Harry Bridges,
Congressman John r. Murdock ad-
vised The International he opposed
the measure because to legiSlate on
matters of judicial determination
.'jeopardizes our constitutional gov
ernment."
Murdoch explained that he voted
for a rule to consider the bill and
then voted for O'Connor amend
ment, guaranteeing Bridges due
process of law. The amendment was
defeated, he said, and he then voted
against substitute amendment de-
nying Bridges a writ of habeas cor
pus. The substitute carried.
The congressman claimed that his
opposition to the final draft of the
bill was vindicated by the assertion
of William Tyler Page, author of
the American Creed" who said the
measure ''imperils American consti-
tutional rights"
It was with his full recollection
of the oath of offire that he took
the stand on the bill he did, Muir
dork asserted.
'Fairminded citizens" he con-
tinued, should get the whole story
before passing judgment.
