Attended by 1000

NEW YORK, Feb. (P).-The

last night to the defense of II
members in jail on charges of sedi-
tious conspiracy to overthrow the
Government.
Federal Judge Grover M. Mus
cowitz adjourned until tomorrow
afternoon hearings for the II men,
bers. The postponement indicated
grand jury action was expected

appearance on the radio at his GUS
tomary broadcasting hour yester-
day.

charge and the hall was closely
guarded-outside by uniformed pa
trolmen and inside by several score
plain clothes detectives.
Mr.. Darcy said the only connec-
ton between the rally and the
Christian Front was his assumption

the Christian Front were passed
among the audience and Social

Father Coughlin, was sold in the

DETROIT, Feb. 5.-The unex-
planned failure of the Rev. Charles
E. Coughlin to deliver his usual
Sunday broadcast provided mys-
terry today for church and radio Off
cials as we'll as for his followers.
Father Coughlin himself could
not be reached for an explanation.
and associates at his Shrine OF the
Little Flower in suburban Royal
Oak said his whereabouts was un-
known.
Three cryptic announcements, in
terspersed with organ music, occu-
pied the hour usually devoted to
Father Coughlin's Sunday address
over his own network of stations.
Early listeners were advised to "tele-
phone some friend to join this au-
dience.'
Warns of Idle RumOrs.
The announcer, stating he was
unauthorized to give any eXplana-
ton, first told hearers Father
Coughlin would not speak, Later
he returned to the microphone to
say:
PAY no heed to idle rumors which
will be circulated this week. Be
assured Father Coughlin knows
what he Is doing. Probably
events transpiring this week Will
enlighten you"
After another musical 1nterlude,
the announcer warned listeners not
TO be alarmed" Urging them to
"do YOUR share to have his largest
audience ready to hear his mes
sage" he said I'VE confidently ex-
pect that Father Coughlin will re-
turn to the microphone next Sun
day"
The MANAGEMENT of the networks
outlet station (WJR-Detrolt) SAID
Father Couglin had been expected
to talk, and expressed surprise that
he did not do so. The priest delivers
his speeches from his church.
Chancellor Can't Explain.
The Rev. Edward J. Hickey, chan
cellor of the Archdiocese of Detroit,
said he could offer no explanation.
Archbishop Edward Mooney was out
of the city.
Since the arrest Of II members
of the Christian Front in New York
three weeks ago, charged with con-
spring to overthrow the Govern
ment, Father Coughlin's name has
often come into discussion. He has
advocated "a Christian Front to
fight Communism and Naziism, but
disclaimed any connection in the
New York instance. though calling
himself friend of the accused"
A week ago, o. John Rogge, AS
sistant Attorney General, said that
"in due course" accusations made
against Father Coughlin by the
Jewish Peoples Committee would be
investigated. Mr.. Rogge has kept
the charges secret.

Argirotastro Is Captured After Bloody Fighting
 Takes Place
THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS
 REPORTED AS CAPTURED
Chief of Staff Bddog|io Resign" "-Gen. Cdv-
 aIIero Is Successor
lBx ASSOCIATED PREssl


 Complete collapse of Italy's lines in Southern Albania is indicated in reports from all sources along the Balkan war front and Italy is plan ming to do something about 1t.
 Rome makes the announcement that Chief of Staff Badoglio has been replaced
 Reports, unofficial. assert that the Greek forces have occupied Ar girocastro, Italys last remaining frontier region base which was es- tablished by the Italians in an at tempt to conquer Greece.
 Capture at Noon
 The Greek Army officially an- nounces occupation of Porto Edda, Italy's seaport and gateway to lsouthern Albania, which is only 15 miles from Argirocastro. The Ital- ian communlque does not state that Argirocastro has fallen into the hands of the Greeks, which is claimed was captured at noon to- day after bloody fighting. The Greek advices state that thousands of Fascist soldiers have been taken prisoners with their arms and equipment in the captured base.
 "Resigned'
 Directly after the Greek dispatch es were received announcing the capture of Argirocastro, there came the announcement from Rome that Badoglio resigned The announce ment gave no further explanation" except 1t was at his own request"
 Military circles quickly expressed the opinion that Badoglio has been sacked as a scapegoat of Fascist military reverses" or because he opposed the attitude of the organi- zation and the military structure of the Italian army"
 Successor
 The Rome announcement later said Badoglio, Italy's most famed soldier and successful commander of the Ethiopian campaign, has been succeeded by Gen. Ugo Cavallero, 60, until recently commander of the Italian forces in East Africa.
 The Italian command admits the Greeks are hammering the left wing in Albania but endorsements are being dispatched to other Greek frontiers.

STRUGGLE FOR OIL
 CHIEF PHASE NOW
 EUROPEAN WAR
By MORGAN M BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. The major key to the next phase of the European war may be three letter word. It's "O-I-L!"
 Whether the Axis powers con- centrate on the British Isles, or Gibraltar or Suez, or all three, the long range planning behind their military and diplomatic maneuvers may be forced upon them by the coming thirst of their industrial and war machines for the stuff that turns the wheels of modern nations-petroleum.
 That's the view of some Wash ington economists, who suspect that the Axis problem at this time is oil rather than food. Not that it's giving out any time soon. But 1t must look ahead, now that it's failed to make quick work of Britain.
 For instance, the economists sus- pect recent German Russian nego- tiations were concerned, not with a new or intensified partnership. but with German scheme to syphon oil from the Near East, or even Russia herself.
 Similarly, the statisticians also see in the military meeting of the Italian and German high com mands at Innsbruck. Austria, 2 revival of the often discussed threat against Gibraltar. For that way also leads to precious oil-the oil of the Western Hemisphere.

GOVERNMENT JUNK MEN REALLY GOING 10 TOWN;
 THEY KNOW THEIR STUFF
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. - Meet the government junk men"
 They deal in everything from burlap sacks to silver fox scarves from horse manure to airplancs from blackjacks to antique clocks
 Out of the government grab-bag they take more than $20,000,0l worth of junk, leftovers and con- fiscated materials every year and the figure is mounting steadily About 85 percent of it is diverted into government channels where the government would have to pay millions more for the stuff if it had to purchase it outright. The rest is sold at public auction.
 These junk men, are the boys in the surplus property section of the Treasury Procurement Divi- sion. They know more about mak- ing palatable hash out of leftovers than the most efficient housewife in the land. And incidentally, they probably are the biggest cash~sav- CTS in your work-a-day government. OF POSTWAR ORIGIN
 The surplus property section was started after the World War, when the government found it had about $350,000,000 worth of surplus stocks built up that would rot or become obsolete unless somebody could dispose of them. The section was formed for that specific pur- pose and eventually did dispose of everything (some of it just recent ly). But in the following years and especially under the guidance Of Treasury Secretary Henry Morgen- thau Jr., the government junk men have really been going to town.
 Not long ago they got a laun- dry! It came from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, where it had been used for washing rags. If you think the laundry stumped the boys, guess again. They found a new United States reformatory that needed just such laundry to make it's plant complete.
 They once got 1900 gum-plas- tered theatre chairs and although they reluctantly admit they couldn't find anything to do with the old chewing gum, they sold half of the chairs to a little church that was just organizing here and gave the other half to the national train

proper technique be carried out. If,
as is usually advised, you put some
camphor or compound tincture of
benzoin or other aromatic on steam
ing water in an open pan and put
your head under a towel over the
steaming basin, you usually excor-
late the skin, usually around the
nose and mouth. A better way is to
have metal pitcher with steaming
hot water in it, throw the compound
tincture of benzoin on top of this,
cover the top of the pitcher with a
towel, but stick in large, stiff rub
Der tube. You can then put the end
of the tube in your mouth and in
hale the fumes without having them
injure your skin or irritate your
nostrils.
The technique of the mustard foot
bath is also important. The water
in which the mustard is placed
should not be too hot. The mustard
volatilizes best in cool or lukewarm
water. A teaspoonful of domestic
mustard, tied in a little muslin bag,
