Under United States laws, an
American woman married to q for
eigner keeps her United States citi-
zenship.
The value of American securities
and credits now held by American
women married to foreigners in af-
fected countries has never been
computed, but officials here believe
it runs into many thousands Of dol
lars.
An indication of the number of
American-born wives involved may
be obtained from State Depart
ment estimate that 50 such women
in this country when the war broke
out, have applied for passports to
return to their husbands.
Only Fraction. Of Total.
1t is presumed that not all the
women on this side sought pass
ports to return and that the total
number over here was only a small
fraction Of the total living abroad.
The securities laws do not apply
to American women living abroad
and not married to nationals OF
those countries, or to American men
living abroad.
They do apply to American
branch factories, but branches are
not required to list or give up the
foreign securities held by their main
Offices or parent corporations.

GuffeY Retracts
ChiIds Accusation

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Guffey, Democrat, of
Pennsylvania today retracted a
statement that Marquis w. Childs,
a Washington newspaper corre-
spondent. was paid by some one
"other than his employer" for writ
ing a story which connected Sena-
tor Guffey with some foreign oil
negotiations.
Addressing the Senate, Senator
Guffey referred to his Senate speech
of last July 20 when he denounced
an article written by Mr.. Childs for
his newspaper, the st. Louis POST
Dispatch The story, said Senator
Guffey, implied that he used his
position as a Senator to enhance
his position in foreign oil deal.
The facts of the story, said Sena-
tor Guffey, were substantially cor
rect. but the Interpretation placed
on it was entirely wrong, and I re-
sented it"
In retracting his accusation, Sen
ator Guffey said, "the person from
whom I received the information
has been unwilling or unable to
substantiate It,"
"I believe it was not true. I deep
" regret it. 1t was an injustice to
him and I ask permission to with
draw 1t.
Senator Guffey said his with

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Many hundreds of American
women married to foreigners and
living abroad have been caught by
the sweeping laws of belligerent and
neutral nations alike requiring citi-
zens to list or surrender their for
eign securities.
All the allies, including the British
dominions, have promulgated such
laws Germany, and some neutrals
like Italy, had them in effect few
years before the war began.
In European countries, a foreign
woman married to one of their
nationals acquires his citizenship
and is subject to the laws of his
country. She is required to list or
turn over to those governments her
foreign securities. whether held there
or abroad, and also her foreign
credits, such as bank or building

States.

at the full market value and at the

Red Army Advance
Along Viipuri Bay

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
HELSINKI, March 12.-Finland
today disclosed that the Red Army,
pressing further along Viipuri Bay
was continuing its advances despite
peace negotiations under way in
Moscow.
Russia kept up unrelenting pres
sure on the northwest shore of Viii
puri Bay, aiming at encirclement of
the city of Viipuri, and the Finnish
high command said 'in some places
the Russians succeeded in advanc-
ing little
Soviet attacks were repulsed
everywhere else except in the direc-
ton of Pail, east of Viipuri, the high
command communique said, re-
counting successes on the ice-coated
lakes and rivers of the Isthmus front
southeast of Viipuri.
Rumors Fill Capital.
Fifteen Russian planes were said
to have been shot down during yes
terday's fighting, the period covered
by the communique.
The army's admission of some
Soviet gains injected some feeling
of reality into capital filled with
rumors and conjectures about the
peace negotiations now under way
in Moscow. Virtually no informa-
ton concerning the parleys has
leaked out in Helsinki, but specula-
ton has been rife.
The army reported new scouting
and bombing flights over Russian
troop, artillery and tanks columns,
and said Russian air activity was
very lively all day."
So closely guarded was informa-
ton from the Russian capital that
people in Helsinki had to rely on
imported rumors-such as the cp-
timistic ones today that peace was
near in the war which started No
vember 80 with the Red Army's
invasion.
No Official Word.
1t was not even acknowledged
officially that any word had been
received from Premier Risto Ryti,
head of the Finnish delegation to
the Kremlin.
Unofficially, it could only be
learned that details of the discus
sions were being studied by the
government.
The latest unofficial statement
was denial that the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee OF Parliament had
reached any decision up to pm
yesterday.
There was much interest in Hell
sinkl over British Prime Minis
ter Chamberlain's declaration that
Great Britain and France were
ready to aid Finland with "all
available" resources. He did not
say specifically that these resources
would include an expeditionary
force.

nouncement that the talks still were
under way was accepted here as
supporting the general belief that
the Russians had increased already
stiff demands. Optimism continued
to prevail, however, and Scandi-
navian stock exchanges continued
lively upward trends.
Helsinki in Dark.
Helsinki appeared to be more in
the dark concerning the peace talks
than other capitals. Official silence
and directly conflicting press re-
ports kept the Finnish capital
puzzled.
Scandinavian press comment dis
closed a skepticism in many quarters
concerning the motives OF the west
ern allies in their offers of help for
Finland.
The afternoon press speculated on
the possibility that Britain's offer
to help for Finland, announced by
Prime Minister Chamberlain yes
terday, might be interfering with
the progress of peace talks.
One theory expressed was that the
offer increased Russian apprehen-
sions regarding possible British in
tentions of creating a northern
front" and thereby strengthened
Russian determination to obtain
certain defense points in Finland.

VATICAN CITY, March 12-Pope
Plus XII today closed impressive
ceremonies in celebration of his first
year on the throne of st. Peter with
an expression of hope for the early
establishment of world peace.
At the close of pontifical mass
in the great Basilica of st. Peters,
he met with the College of Cardinals
and told the sacred assembly of his
prayer for cessation of hostilities.
His remarks were in reply to a
message from the college which
exalted the pontiff's efforts to re-
store peace. The letter of devotion
was read in the Chapel OF St. Sc
bastian by the dean of the college,
Granite Cardinal Pignatelli di Bel
monte.
The latter celebrated the annlver-
sary mass which found the Pope ag-
grieved by war he vainly had be-
sought Europe to avoid. The cere-

the honor would have fallen to the

to name new prince of the church
the role fell to the dean of the sa-
cred college.
At 10 am the red-robed cardinals
assembled in the Hall of Sacerdotal
Ornaments, where they donned their
ermine- trimmed silk rochets. Then
they proceeded to the tomb of st.
