SJMA'S FATE UNKNOWN
Chief OF Extremists Said

bellio ntoday the bleak alternative
Of suicide or mass punishment
at the hands of the state.
Their chief. Vice Premier Horia
Sima, was reported %variously as
under arrest or in flight across
Soviet Russia, but he and his as
s~ociates were summoned by the
premier to this strange self-judg-
ment:
"You Rebels
-. You rebels! If you are
true Iron Guardists punish your
self with true legionary punish
] ment land that by tradition is sui
cide) Or otherwise you may be sure
that l shall apply mass punish
ment myself"
First it was understood in Blu
charest that Sima had been taken
into custody. The subsequent sug-
geStion that he might have found
refuge in Russia was interesting
in the light of Antonescu's earlier
assertion that hold-out rebels had
been under Communist influ-
ence.")

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-lR-
Viscount Halifax, Britain's n e "
ambassador and member of the
British war cabinet, said today
that the greatest aid the United
States could provide his embattlec
homeland was speedy "mobiliza'
ton of your great industrial
strength and its translation into

The tall ENJOYS statement was
made to reporters after he had
talked for more than an hour with
Cordell Hull, secretary of state
a talk which Halifax said covered
the whole range of international
affairs of vital interest to the two
nations.
Viscount Halifax had an oppor-

President Roosevelt when the chief
executive shattered all precedent
by meeting the Incoming envoy last
night on the presidential yacht Po-
tomac in Chesapeake Bay.

latest battleship, brought Lord Hal

disclosed today that high Ameri-

ship last night were Secretary of
the Navy Knox, Admiral Harold
R. Stark, chief of naval operations,
and Captain Daniel j. Callaghan,

GERMANS REPORT
HITS ON WARSHIPS
Two Battleships Damaged
Cruiser Bombed, Says
Berlin Dispatch
(By The Associated Press

BERLIN, Jan. 25.-The German
warplanes which have gone to the
aid of Italy in the Mediterranean
basin were credited by informed
German sources today with dam
age to two British battleships and
a cruiser in a successful attack
on a convoy west of Crete.
The high command said merely
that several bomb hits of heavy
and medium caliber on three
heavy English naval units were
clearly observed" but other
sources were more specific.
They said a heavy bomb struck
the stern of one ~battleship; that
two bombs damaged the bow and
starboard of another battleship and
that a heavy cruiser also was
struck.
The Italian high command in
Rome reported the engagement
thus:
German air corps bomber for
nations late yesterday afternoon
attacked an enemy naval squadron
in the Central Mediterranean. Ac-
cording to first reports, an enemy
heavy cruiser appears to have
been hit astern with a heavy cali

participation by Italians planes;
hence, apparently none vas there.
The Italians did claim that one
of their submarines had sunk the

leaving.
For heavens sake. Brendar'
Please, Mama!'
Nov listen, Brenda. You're going
home tomorrow and I'm not going to

fish?
Brenda was still crying long after
the lights were out. in spite of Miss
Dawson's efforts to comfort her.
Tucker stood it as long as he could;
then he sat up. "Hey. Brenda! Shut
up, can't you?" He took deep breath
and said quickly, you can borrow
Wynken. Blynken and Nod!'
Her sobs suddenly stopped and she
looked through swollen eyes. "Now?"
Eyes, now - only stop bawlingr'
So a place was cleared on Brenda's
table by stacking things in pile, and
the bowl was transferred across the
aisle. His eyes followed them. He had
funny feeling in his tummy, but it
was too late to back out. But gee
he wished that he'd let Brenda bawl
her head off! He could see a flash
of gold once in while. and his gaze
was still fixed on the shining bowl
when he finally drifted off.
Hours later he awoke with a start.
wondering what had wakened him. He
listened, but he couldn't hear Miss
Dawson any place. She must have
gone to night lunch. The nurse from
the next division would peek in occa-
sionally, but he knew how long it was
between peeks. He sat up and knew in
a fash what had aroused him. The
high stack of Brenda's toys had COL
lapsed, and oh! He stared at the
overturned bowl, the moss and water
on the floor. and at the three bright
spots slithering on the hardwood.
A strangled cry choked him. His
fish! His precious fish! He tried to call
Brenda. but he couldn't utter sound.
Terror held his voice.
1HEN he felt words on his lips; new
words formed soundlessly, words that
were dragged from his heart where he
had kept them hidden. please, God!
Oh, please, God =" He pushed back
the covers and was out of bed. please.
God! I've got to! Help me, pleasev'
His head felt queer and light, and
his legs had needles jabbing at them
but they moved He jerked along as if
he were on stills; stills that hurt, and
we're stiff, and burned him - but they

gasping breath, he heard a funny,
whimpering little voice that said over
and over:
Help me. God! Oh please

somehow ne stopped over and
picked up three bright, quivering
things. and then he turned slowly,
painfully back. His whirling brain and
his groping fingers searched frantically.
His water glass. His water glass!
Where was it? The stills scared
through his dizziness and held him in
space. but they still moved -.
His fingers closed around the water
glass and he dropped the three bright
things and heard them plop into the
water. 1t would do until - until -

and not caring. Tucker opened his
eyes. Why. it was jim! Doctor Holden

his arm hurt.

because he was happy! Tuck sighed.
and happiness flowed over him. Even
fine did feel queer. he felt like he could
fly, too. He'd done it! He'd prayed -
and he could walk!
A light step came down the aisle and
Jim's voice fairly sang; "Anne!'

voice shook. There's something else.
How - how would you like to have

Tucker lay quite still, with his eyes
closed. He knew Jim meant Miss
Lacey. Well, he loved Miss Lacey
more than anyone, outside of Jim,
but having her wouldn't be having a
real mother - not like one with the
same blood.
She bent over him, her face pink
and her eyes shining. "He's trying to
tell you. Tucker Todd. that I've
always wanted little boy like you"
He looked up into the gray eyes,
and suddenly all his doubts faded
before what he saw there. His arms
went around her neck. "Oh. Miss
Lacey - Anne! l do love you so very
much!' 1t was then that he saw the
white gauze on the inside of her elbow.
