 RETURN OF BODIES
Father, Son, Supt. of One of His Plants, Drowned
 in Maine Lake

Chesuncook, Me, Nov. 8.-(UP)- A blizzard today delayed return tc civilization of the bodies Of New York industrialist, his son and the superintendent of one of his plants who drowned two days in Caucom- gomuc Lake in the Mt Allagasl1 wilderness region IS miles north of here.
 The victims were Paul M. Mack lin, 54, vice-president and general manager of the Wickwire Spencer Steel Corp, his son John, 25, fore man in the corporations Buffalo, N. Y, plant, and George w. Nelson, 48, superintendent of the firms Worcester, Mass, plant until his transfer to Buffalo a year ago.

ARGENTINE WILL
 SEEK GREAT LOAN
Financial Group on Its Way to U. S.; Will Try
 for $lOO,OOO,OOO

Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov. g. (UP)-A financial mission leaves by airplane for Washington today, re- portedly to seek a $10000o,00o loan.
 As the commission left, the gov ernment proposed standardization of the financial, banking and economic system in a vast recovery program.
 Headed by Dr. Paul Prebisch, manager of the Central bank, the three-man commission was accom- panied by Christian M. Ravndal second secretary of the U. s, em- bassy here. Its departure, only three days after the reelection of Presi- dent Roosevelt, was interpreted as evidence of Argentinas confidence in continuation of the American Good Neighbor" policies.
 Devised by Finance Minister Fred erico Pinedo, the recovery program would "revitalize" industry through facilitation of loans to embark on a low-cost housing plan; government purchase of eXportable surpluses which cannot be sold because of the European war; new trade agree ments to expand commerce among South American nations; and mobil- ization of bank resources.
 The program has been approved by the administration of Acting President Ramon Castillo but has yet to pass congress.

INSTITUTE ADVISES
MEANS TO PROTECT
AGAINST ILLNESS
Especial to The Citizen,

JOLIET, ILL.,, Jan. 24.-Persons
suffering from the common cold
or the "sniffles' should make
sure that their handkerchiefs
and clothes are sterilized in or
der to prevent spread of infec-
ton. the American Institute of
Laundering warned today.
"Only by pasteurization can
the germs, which cause the cold
be destroyed in white handker-
chiefs" George H. Johnson. gen
eral manager of the Institute,
said. After use, even when the
user is normally healthy, a
handkerchief is full of germs.
During a cold, the germs are in
creased by the millions. 1t is i'm
sportant to the health of the fam
lily that these germs be destroy
ed.
Johnson pointed out that the
standard method of pasteuriza-
ton of white handkerchiefs in
commercial laundries is to wash
the infected cloth in water of at
least 145 degrees for at least half
an hour.
''Handkerchiefs are not the
only things that become infected
during a cold" Johnson added.
BED sheets, napkins and other
clothes which come into close
contact with the patients mouth
also become infected. Then, when
they are put into a hamper with
the family wash, as is usually
done, the germs are given an

THIRD TERM PUZZLE
CONGRESS MOVES SLOWLY
ECONOMY TALK STRONG
PRESSURE WILL GET FUNDS
THE LOAN TO FINLAND

President Roosevelt'S attitude
toward a third term continues to
intrigue the politicians and news
paper writers in Washington.
Last week, for example, one could
find almost any opinion on the
subject. The United States News
came forth with the positive
statement that the President
would not choose to rum. His
attitude, it was explained, ex-
pressed a personal preference but
would not close the door to an
overwhelming draft of his serv-
ices if circumstances seemed to
warrant such action. By contrast,
Arthur Krock, head of The New
York Times Bureau, stated that
the majority of those in Wash
ington believe Mr.. Roosevelt is
definitely maneuvering for re-
nomination, whatever the turn of
events. Obviously, the reader
can take his choice.
Congress continues to move
slowly in the handling of major
national issues. Having passed
the anti-lynching Bill, the House
leaders give increasing attention
to the problem of effecting econ
omy, hoping to hold the funds ap
propriated to the $8,424, 600, 900
included in the budget estimate.
This is in the face of declarations
by farm groups that the sum pro-
posed for farm benefits is not
enough and a drive on the part
of a large group to increase the
amount available for rivers and
harbors work, which includes
flood control projects and various
undertakings designed to i'm
prove navigation. This is hand
led by the Army Engineers, one
of the groups which exert great
power in Congress, and will be
supported by the natural pres.
sure from cities and towns that
expect to benefit by the i'm
provements.
While nomy sentiment
seems to be strong just now, this
does not mean that the final ap-

preparation figures of Congress
will be within the budget figures.
In fact, as the session goes on,
the demand for larger appropria-
tons will become more vicifer-
Gus, the date of the fall elections
will approach closer and con-
gressmen, if we mistake not, will
do as they have usually done.
This means that the present econ
omy fervor will be followed by
appropriations which, for va
rious reasons, will be ample. The
demand for economy will not
equal the cry for pork.
Widespread American sympa-
thy for Finland, engaged in the
defense of its territory from Rus
sian invasion, is reflected in eff
forts being made to devise some
plan by which to extend financial
assistance to that country. Last
week, the President put the ques-
ton before Congress, suggesting
extension of credit to assist Fin
land in the purchase of agricul-
tural purchases and manufactur-
ed products, not including i'm
plements of war. A loan at this
time, in the Presidents opinion,
would not threaten involve
ment" in European wars.
No specific amount was sug-
gested BY the President, who
called attention to the right of
Congress to put a ceiling on such
a loan. In Congress, reaction was
varied, with some signs of oppo-
sition on the ground that credit
extended to Finland might serve
as a wedge for future credits to
Great Britain or France. While
strong popular support exists for
the extension of financial assist
ance to Finland, there seems to
be some difficulty in devising a
method which will meet possible
objections in Congress.
The Firms, through their Off
Gals, have made it clear that they
need money to buy war materials
and that, inasmuch as time is i'm
portant, they would prefer to buy
munitions in Europe where quick
delivery can be assured. While
the prospects seem to favor a
loan to Finland, it seems certain
that restrictions will be placed
around the use of the funds, linn
iting them to the purchase of sup
plies other than munitions and
implements of war.
