President Aguirre's
Administration Faces
Critical Test
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SANTIAGO, Chile, March IL
Chile's armed forces were ordered
tonight for the first time in history
to supervise a general congressional
election tomorrow, which may alter
the course of Chilean policies for
the next four years.
President Pedro Aguirre Cerda's
Leftist administration admittedly
faced a critical test. Rightists,
many of whom supported him two
years ago in the now defunct popu-
lar front coalition, seek to retain
a majority of seats in the Senate
and Chamber of Deputies. On the
other hand, a so-called "Leftist
front" bloc, including Aguirre's own
radical party and members of the
old popular front with the excep-
ton of the Socialists, is bidding
for control of both houses of Con-
gress.
At stake is the entire membership
of lat seats in the Chamber Of
Deputies and 20 of the As Senate
seats.

Tractor Fire Plow Ineffective
Mr.. Taber, with his assistant, C.
d. Goodrich, left Dover at 4.30
o'clock Sunday morning in hopes
of curbing the blaze with the de-
partment's new tractor-drawn fire
plow. At z a. m. the fire line was
ployed in front of the flames, but
they crossed it almost Immediately.
Line after line was plowed, triple
lines being employed on one occa-
sion, until more than dozen had
been dug ahead of the fire, but
without success. AT 3 o'clock Sum-
day afternoon the chief forester
and his aides agreed the .plow was
unable to cope with the blaze.
Shortly before midnight, Mr.. Taber
estimated that the blaze covered
approximately 5000 acres and was
spreading rapidly. As an added
complication, Mr.. Taber pointed
lout, another fire started in the
same swamp across the Maryland
line last Sunday and already has
crossed the Delaware line ap-
preaching the fire on this side.
Eventually, unless heavy rain ex-
tinguishes the flames, the two fires
will meet and the entire swamp
will have been burned.

FOREST FIRE IN
SUSSEX COUNTY
300 Men Fight Flames Raging
Through 10000 Acre
Swamp in Sussex
WORST FIRE IN 10 YEARS

Delaware's worst forest fire in
more than 10 years, as Chief State
Forester w. S. Taber described it
late Sunday night, was raging
fiercely in the 10000 acre cypress
swamp area in Sussex County. All
hope of getting it under control
soon had been abandoned. Owing
to the dry weather of the past sum-
mer, the timber and turf in the
swamp were burning like tinder
and have resisted every effort of
the state fire wardens to check the
onrushing flames. Some of the best
timber in the state is standing deep
in the swamp, Mr.. Taber declared,
and the fire loss will be tremend-
ous." Despite the admitted hope
lessness of the situation more than
300 smoke ?blackened men-forest
fire wardens, volunteer firemen, and
farmers, of that section-fought
into the night in an effort to stall
the raging flames. They have been
burning several day. At every
point where farm house was con-
sidered in the path of the fire large
groups of men started packtires to
burn a circle around buildings. Late
in the night the flames had passed
four farm houses thus protected
and had caused little damage to
buildings. The burning area lies in
that part of Sussex County bound
ed by roads leading from Selbyville
to Whaleysville, Md, to Gumbor,,
to Dagsboro, to Frankford and
back to Selbyville. He declared
that the only point at which the
flames had been checked was on
the east ide of the swamp where
the Layton Ditch stopped them
temporarily. The blaze swept
across the ditch but in such dimin-
ished intensity that the fire ward
ems were able to put it out at that
point. Dense smoke from the
smouldering turf and the woods fire
slowed up motor traffic on high
ways in the district. Not only did
the moke interfere with visibility
but caused the eyes of motorists to
smart and water to such an extent
that driving became hazard. The
odor of the smoke fumes was de-

advantageous to the Russians, but
they will start just as quickly when
the war is over.
A Russian-German alliance would

If the Russians win, they will do
everything in their power to destroy
democracy and push the Communist
doctrine on the world. "The funda-

umn states Eugene Lyons in the De-
cember Cosmopolitan magazine, is
using the breathing spell to entrench
itself in even stronger key positions
in our defense industries against the

Should the Bolsheviks submit to
Hitler, whether by conquest or by
compromise the world will face q
bigger and more effective "Vichy"
than in France. For, as the author
of "The Red Decade" points out, no
one who knows the character of
Stain and his bureaucracy can doubt
that in pinch they would sacrifice
Russia if they could thereby post

"Vichy" would have at its disposal
