Ghastly emergency work plus

After a head-on auto collision in
which the womans jugular vein was
severed, two Utah residents held
the ends of the blood vessel together
with their fingers until the physi-

AS Mrs. Merritt and her husband
lay unconscious in their wrecked
machine near Wasatch, Utah, Sat-
urday night, Deputy Sheriff Thomas
Black and his wife arrived.
The wife tagged down a motorist
while her husband held the gaping
wound closed. Then Mrs. Black held
the vein during the half hour trip
to a hospital.
Mrs. Merritt's condition was re-
ported as fairly good tonight. Phv-
slcians said she would have died
within few minutes had the Black.

British Plan Invasion,
Possibly in Finland,
London Rumors Say
England Known to Have
Prepared Shock Force
For Continent Drive
By DREW MIDDLETON,
Associated Press war CORRESPONDENT.

LONDON, Aug. A flood Of
reports-unconf1rmed but unchal-
lenged offlcially-persisted that
Britain soon would open up north
ern European front, possibly in Fin
land, while Germany still is heavily
engaged with Soviet Russia.
The press carried reports from
Goteborg, Sweden, that large Brit
ish naval force already is in the
Arctic
Editorial comment was lacking on
this score, but the Daily Express
printed what it called stories of
Axis fears" from points as far apart
as Finland tnd Iran under the
heading:
"All the Axis is asking is where
we will invade
Shock Force Prepared.
Britain is known to have prepared
a shock force for an amphibious
drive against the continent. but
there was no confirmation of the
current rumors in any London
quarter.
CThe fact this diSpa ech was
| permitted to move through the
stringent British censorship
might mean the British felt that
enough currency to rumors of
such an operation might serve to
divert considerable German
strength
British said that obviously an in q.
vasion undertaking could best be a =
tempted the farthest distance DO, =
slble from the Nazi air force and
near occupied territory in which
resistance to German rule is be-
heved to be gaining.
! IhlS led neutral observers to MT
their finger on Northern Finland as
the most likely spot, possibly near
Petsamo ana Rybachi Peninsula. at
the northernmost point of the Rus
slan-Finnish frontier. Petsamo is
Finnish; the peninsula Russian. Or
the west is Norway.
Seen As Opening Move.
| Some quarters looked on Wed
nesday's assault on Petsamo b.
bomberS Of the feet air arm as the
opening move in this kind of oper.
| alton. Further raids on German
alrdromes or possibly a landing By
assault troops to secure land bases
are not considered out of the ques-
/ ton.
Such British campaign would
have two objectives: Open a line of
supplies to Russia, line now men
aced by German warships at Petsamo
and other northern ports, and heart
ening of Norwegians whose under
cover resistance to the Germans in
control of their country has resulted
in stringent NaZi regulations.
Another long rang possibility Woul@
be the opening of continental lar
front against Adolf Hitler.
