BY JOHN c. HENRY.
President Roosevelt suggested to-
day that congressional leaders put
aside political considerations and ge,
together quickly. on the question Of
American relief to Finland
The Presidents remarks, virtually
an appeal for suspe,c, ion of politics
in the face of a natI 1ns need. were
made at his press conference in re-
sponse to a question on his attitude
toward aiding the beleaguered Baltic
country.
The general thought in his mind
the Chief Executive said. is that the
whole problem should not become
one of American party politics. The
Finnish-Russian hostilities. he con-
tinued, constitute an attack on the
independence of the Finnish people
Their needs in fight to maintain
this independence. he added, hardly
are matters for political party con-
troversy in this country.
Saying first that he understood
an effort is being made at the
Capitol to get the congressional
leaders of both parties into agree
ment on the steps contemplated, the
President added later that it is his
suggestion that they reach such
an agreement.
While appealing for an absence
of political considerations. the Pres
ident made no accusation that such
an obstacle has interfered thus far
with settlement of the problem.
Questioned about the various pro-
posals which have emanated from
F the Capitol, one for a Government
loan to Finland of $6000O.000 and
another for the sale of the new
Anerieafl Garand automatic rifle to

dent said he was not acquainted

voice was hurt.
Joan Calls Father.
Joan put through the cross -coun-

tied herself in the hotel suite. Los
Angeles answered, and then Jim
Charters well-loved voice reached
her.
Joan said. Hello, jim! It's your

Z Hello, darling! It's swell to hear
your voice. What's up?"
She reported briefly all that had
happened in the months since she
had seen him. She told him about
Scott's proposal.

Charters said. His family owns a

blond girl, who had been a passenger
on the plane from Miami, "is always

The newspapermen laughed. A
photographer said, Hold it," The
battery of cameras focused and
clicked.
A reporter asked, How did you
feel, Joan, when you realized the
plane you were flying was going to
crash?"
She said, "I was scared to death"
They laughed, and one said, But
you knew the famous Charters
luck would hold?"
Well you can't beat a sure

Another said, Talking of luck.

Then the shock became too terrific.
The headlines whirled like a pro-

Joan dropped the newspaper. Her
hands flew to her face and she
screamed. She could see Jim's
plane falling like flaming torch.
People were staring. Scott put
his arm about her, almost lifted her
into the taxi. STEADY, Joan," he
said in an anguished whisper.

cept fish and vegetables, listed on ration cards. Textiles and boots can be obtained only for so many points on the clothing card. Ham is strictly rationed as is all other meat. Rice, for Christmas porridge, also is on the cards, but additional rations are being provided for the holidays.
 Hardest for the Films to take, however, is the difficulty to obtain their favorite Christmas dish of "Lutf1sk." It is codfish sauted with special milk sauce. Norway was the biggest source of codfish, but since it's occupation has not been able to export it in the usual quan- titles.
 There at least will be Christmas trees for all, for fir trees abound in Finland. But for the most part they will be decorated with ersatz candles in the form of wooden tap CTS made of sulphate cellulose which burn horizontally instead of up- right.
 Christmas morn will find churches throughout Finand more crowded than ever before and from many lips will come prayers for peace and a happier Christmas next year.
 IN SWEDEN
 Although at peace, much of the customary merrymaking will be missing. Swedes will celebrate Christmas in comfortable mood" sobered by the inevitable repercus- sions of the war which has affected them deeply.
 The cost of living in Sweden has risen 40 per cent, but food still is plentiful enough to enable house. wives to adorn the Christmas tables in traditional fashion. Only few of the scores of luscious ingredients will be missing from the famous Swedish Smorgasbord. There will be fewer types of bread and less but ter and cheese.
 The stores, because of higher prices, are not experiencing the usual Christmas rush. Only the larger Stockholm firms have gone in for extensive decorations. These in clude the department store where Greta Garbo once sold gloves to in- different customers.
 Children's toys this year are made chiefly from wood and cardboard, thus sparing metal for more urgent purposes. Peculiarly, toy soldiers, submarines, tanks and airplanes are not nearly as prominently displayed or demanded in Sweden as in other countries.
 The Christmas festivities in Swed- en started December 13 with the election of Santa Lucia, Stockholm's patron saint.

SURPLUS EXPECTED BY SCHOOL BOARD.
.$7,OOO to Be Turned Over to General Fund; New
 Gymnasium Assured

Announcement by School Super intendent T. J. Condon that the department will have a surplus of $7,000 this year, caused commits sioner Harold J. Parkinson to ask that the money be used for improvements rather than be turned back into the general fund. Mayor Vincent A. Scully said that every department is asking the same question and making the same request.
 Bids on the construction of the new gymnasium at Anderson School will be asked through public adver- tisements after January 1, as a re- suit of motion made last night by Commissioner Thomas P. Ashton at last nights meeting of the 1941 budget permits an expenditure of $50,000 on this project.
 The board also approved pay ment of $500 to Thomas M. Freney as his fee for drawing up plans for the gym.
 The board referred to the City Retirement Commission the request of Charles Richards. janitor, that he be retired after January l.
