HITLER INCLUDED

COPENHAGEN, March g. Up -
The powerful efforts of Europe's
-peace-seekers to end the war be-
tween Soviet Russia and Finland
penetrated tonight to the inscur-
table inner councils of Adolf Hit
ler's Germany and showed signs of
touching almost every great capital
of the world-even Washington.
Scandinavia, intensely excited be-
cause it is sc deeply involved, in
fact menaced, heard increased pre-
dictions from responsible quarters
that a definite settlement might be
achieved within a week - perhaps
sooner.
Firms, however, were grave-faced.
In Helsinki, the world "unaccept.
able" vas heard everywhere in re-.
action to Russia's reported demands
for large and strategic areas of the
invaded nation. These demands may
or may not bein the form of an
ultimatum expiring this weekend.
Moscow, likewise, showed no sur
face evidence of readiness to make
peace. Dire predictions about the
numbered days" of the Finnish Hell
sinki government continued to ap.
pear in the press. Newspapers and
radio eulogized Premier Vyacheslaff
Molotoff on the eve of his 50th birth
day and praised his recognition Of
the phantom peoples government"
of Finland.

DRIVE ON HATCH
BILL IS BLOCKED

group of democratic senators gath
cred in a cloakroom. Through the
glass doors, they could be seen
arguing excitedly.
It was learned later that oppon-
ents of the act had surrounded
Barley. First, they presented a
request that he call a party eau
Gus. When a caucus is held, the
usual tendency is for every one
present to feel bound by the ma
jority decision, although there may
be individual exceptions.
The result would be that foes of
the pending Hatch legislation
might be able to kill it, and per-
haps even to open up the original
act, and alter it.
Barley fatty refused to call the
caucus Then the senators sur
rounding him threatened to get up
a petition to force him to do SO.
To this, one Of those in the group
said later, Rarkley replied that
the first question before the caucus
would be whether or not he should
continue as the party leader. There
upon, the opposition apparently de-
cided that the bitter intra-party
fight involved in Barkley's threat
ened resignation had best b.
avoided.

kinds of meat cookery, as well as
cakes and pies and salads.
One of the star dishes on the
program is a regal roast, which is
a standing rib roast Of beef with
queen fritters. A rolled lamb roast
is another grand dish.
Beef stew aristocrat is something
different in stews. A new kind OF
lamb pie makes it's appearance. A
link loaf, with little link sausages
baked with macaroni and cheese is
a delicious new way to use this
popular meat.
The oven dinner planned for the
dav includes veal loaf, formed into
individual 1oaves, a new and tempt
ing idea.
Lamb ME with biscuit rings
shows ho,, to make use OF the left
over portion Of lamb roast. The
pimiento and parsley biscuits are
something special, too.
A new way Of preparing tongue
is given in the recipe called tongue
rolls, Florentine.
Broiled ham with an apricot
glaze is taste-tempting.
In the dessert section, there's a
t]hree-in-one cake which is sure to
be interesting. Prune chiffon pie Is
different and delicious.
Squaw corn, an easily prepared
combination is suggested as the
quick meal to be prepared after
the cooking school.
Fig layers and sugar cookies are
new goodies to please the children
and grown-ups, too.

Is Sensation In
Mats Outfield Position

ORLANDO. Fla, March s.-LR-
Manager Bucky Harris believed
Washington's outfield problem may
be solved at last-and If it is the
judgment Of a radio announcer will
be INDICATED.
Last year, the announcer had sug.
gested in a mild way that Buddy
Lewis be shifted from third base
to the outfield. Lewis, who had
come to the Senators from Chat.
tanooga, had proved a potent bat
ter, but never looked like a big
Lacquer in the infield.
The trouble was that Harris had
no n else to play in the infield.
Then, over the winter, he obtain.
ed Jimmy Pofahl from Minneapolis.
1t was announced that Lewis would
be shifted to the outfield, that
Cecil Travis, the shortstop, would
play third, and that Pofahl would
play short.
In his new position, Lewis Is a
mild sensation. He is fielding the
position beautifully and is changing
his sidearm infielder's throw to an
overland heave.
The radio announcer? He is

Train, former manager of the Sen.

Their first ~intersquad game created
some anxiety among the Washing

evolve n supporting the poIlcles

Mentions Trade Program
The President said he wished he
could tell the farmers that the
whole world had been restored to
prosperity and friendly commerce.
The administrations. reciprocal
trade program had drought re-
suits" in better markets for both
industrial and farm products, he
added, but Gin the midst Of a world
at war, we find that the foreign
commerce we had managed to
achieve is rudely disturbed"
Some may say, what Of that'?'
Mr.. Roosevelt said. "'Does not our
domestic trade comprise 80 per cent
of all our business?' Yes that is
true for the nation as a whole.
But, for some industries, export
trade accounts for considerably
more than ten per cent of sales.
In agriculture, for example, that
is true of cotton, tobacco, apples,
lard, wheat, and other products.
A all agriculture is certain to
be seriously affected if our export
market disappears"
Economic failure in Europe had
led to dictatorship in some lands,
the President said, but America
was using the tools of democracy
to make u economic system eff
flcient, to preserve our freedom
and to keey away even from talk
of dictatorship"
The national farm program, he
added was american democracy's
response to agricultural distress"
The dinner meetings were de-
scribed as "non-partisan." Spe-
officially they were in celebration
of the day seven years ago on
which Mr.. Roosevelt authorized
Secretary Wallace to call farm
leader to Washington to draft what
later became the Agricultural Ad-
justment Act. They were, held in
% states, and while there was no
estimate of the general attendance,
officials in Iowa expected 40, 1000
to be present at the various meet
ings, and in Kansas the number
was said to be 1000.

onportunity to obtain economic n
social justice, to make it possible
for them to conserve n gooo
earth which, next to our people
and orr tradition of freedom is our
greatest HERITAGE" To this ne
added:
Goal Not Reached
ct am happy in the thought that
American farmers have gone part
wav along that road to economic
and, social justice ever though they
have not reached the goal.
"I am happy in the thought that
American farmers understand full
well that other great groups, such
as industrial and retail groups in
the cities, great and small; such
as the small businessmen of the
nation, have not yet attained the
goal of social and economic JUS
tice even though in these seven
years they have made undisputed
progress toward it."
: He went on to say the farm pro-
gram had been gradually evolved
and adapted to the needs of the
individual farmer, of the nation
and Of the land itself. The
try's last frontier of new lands
had been reached, he added, and
there was no choice "but to con-
serve and rebuild our existing
SOIL"
Throughout the programs, he
continued, there had run a thread
of democracy, with committees of
individual farmers providing To-
Called control and the great gen.
eral farm organizations helping to
