Refuses to Clear Situation as Leaves for South
 on Vacation NAME GOING BEFORE
 TWO STATE PRIMARIES
Purpose of Sumner WelIes Trip 10 Europe Par
 tiaIIy Explained

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Presi- sdent Roosevelt, still silent on his political future, heads for his south ern vacation after one of his strong est third term supporters, Ambas- sador Joseph Kennedy, renounced any ambition to be the Democratic standard bearer.
 President Roosevelt plans to be away from Washington, D. C., for about 10 days but gave no indica- tion as to his route. This will bring him up to February 22, the deadline when his name, unless he withdraws it, will go officially on the Illinois Presidential primary.
 Asked yesterday at 8 conference with newsmen whether he will take steps to withdraw from the Illinois and Wisconsin contests before go- ing south, the President said he knew nothing about the circum- stances in the two states.
 It is asserted in various quarters that Sumner Welles' purpose of his mission to European capitals is to help Roosevelt to decide wether he will run for third term.

U. S. pR0TE5T5 TO GREAT BRITAIN ON HOLDING UP
 MAIL, ETC., I5 OLD STUFF
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. = The explanation here of England's cav alier manner toward American mail and commerce is that she is either dead certain she is going to win the war andior dead certain American support is ''in the bag
 This nation has always been dis posed to side with England in any war against Germany. The im- precision here is that Britain feels she can scrub us around more than considerable without any change in our attitude
 Moreover, her experience during the last war could convince Eng land that she can do almost any thing short of raiding our coasts without encountering anythin g harsher than stern note.
 With respect to the mail and ship searches-we had the same daily picnic all through the last war. We got all hot under the collar and sent hot notes. The British, coach ed by U. s. Ambassador Page, large ly ignored them.
 For months on end the British kept patrol of cruisers just out side New York harbor to examine ships whose cargoes the British thought suspect Finally we got wrought up about that.
 We'll jolly well have no more of that, we said to Britain And Bri- tain backed down exactly three miles. That is the distance she pull ed her cruisers away from the three mile limit They didn't loom up so big six miles away, but they con- tinued to stop and search our ships just as they now are doing farther out to sea.
 Washington never will get over being amazed and riled at Britain s high-handed methods. She grabs our ships and drags them through the war zone, examines sealed en- velopes for anything from bonds to a 10-ton truck, and orders the cargo unloaded if she thinks it might trickle through some neutral country into Germany.
 And about the only thing we
 can do is to protest. We Our-
 selves set up the pattern during
 the Civil War. The Union navy

MANNERHEIM LINE DENTED

COPENHAGEN, Feb. IA. = Tho Finland Mannerheim Line is dented but apparently not broken as the result of fourteen consecutive days of Russian assaults and fighting at magnitude which the Films com- pared to the World War. Partial Russian success in the Summa sector, which is the vortex of the bitterest fighting, is ac- knowledged in the Finnish con- munique which says a flew fore most positions have fallen to the Red Army but the Russians were repulsed before they penetrated fur ther.
 More Forts Captured
 The Soviets announce g more Finnish Qualifications have been captured, making a total of 84 the Russians say they have taken from Finland.
 Terming continued resistance of tn Finnish armed forces especially in the Summa sector as ''miracu- lous," the Finnish military state ment declares the Russians have been restricted in gains at the cost of thousands of dead and the loss of quantities of war materials.
