Outdoors it is quite comfortable But
the house gives of its accumulated heat
very slowly. The blanket of heat IN
the attic hangs inert and stagnant, and
the rooms below are sweltering under
this burden of hot air. Often it is four

Boosted Rail Rates

Moscow some weeks ago an
nounced unprecedented and prac-
tically prohibitive increase of 300
10 800 per cent in freight tariffs.
Berlin protested. Moscow re-
sponded with orders to the ST.
berian railroad to refuse German
shipments.
For some time, passengers over
the railroad have had to pay for
their tickets with American
money Now, MOSCOW wants
freight paid for in our dollars,
too.
Both Germans and Japanese
deny that there is any political
significance in the matter. They
say ii is purely a case of Soviet
Russia wanting to make hay
while the sun of railway freight
prosperity shines"
Moscow insists that railways are
an internal affair. not touched by
the Russian-German Q on m C
agreement. The Germans say that
Soviet Russia is fulfilling that
agreement to the highest expecta-
tions, both in quantities and
promptness of deliveries.

Mediterranean
Blocks Italian Traffic
Into North Africa,
Frustrate s Nazis
By THOMAS c. WATSON

IntI News service stan Correspondent
LONDON, Feb. 22.-Britain to-
night dealt another heavy blow
against Italy by sowing mines over
a vast central Mediterranean area
to block Italian traffic to North
Africa and Illustrate any possible
German effort To seize French
Algeria or Tunisia.
Thus the Mediterranean was
sliced in half-to all but British
ships which might make the peril
GUS trip through the intricate maze
of explosives under the eXpe-
rienced eye of pilots with charts
of the area.
The action, coming on the heels
of Prime Minister Winston Church
ills warning just two weeks ago
in a broadcast that Germany may
be rushing troops to attack French
forces in North Africa. places a
stable handicap in the path of
any such German move.
Italy's beleaguered legions in
Africa thus are confronted with
another barrier, preventing their
possible escape by sea.
The mining was thorough and
swift. The admiralty. warning all
shipping to stay away from the
affected regions, said the entire
stretch between Sicily and French
Tunisia had been sowed with
deadly explosives.

Named to Committee
to Weigh Arkansas
Bill to Keep Scion
Times Stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. %. -
Arkansas effort TO steal" a con-
gresham from Michigan struck a
snag today with the appointment
of Senator Prentiss M. Brown on
a subcommittee TO deal with the
problem.
On the subcommittee with him,
as named by Senator Josiah w.
Bailey Cd of North Carolina,
chairman of the Senate commerce
committee, are Senators Francis
Maloney of Connecticut: Hattie
Caraway OF Arkansas; Harold II.
Burton of Ohio. and Hiram John
son of California.
Senator Maloney will head the
subcommittee, charged specifically
with consideration of the bill Of
Representative +. c. Gathings OF
Arkansas, to change the House
apportionment system to allow
Arkansas to retain its present
seven members instead of losing
one 10 Michigan under the auto
matte apportionment system,
which otherwise will become oper-
alive March S.
Senator Bailey reminded Sena-
tor Brown and others on the SUBJ
committee that if the Gathings
bill is TO become effective. the
Senate must act on il before
March g. The measure was
passed by the House several days
ago.
Senator Brown. however. said
he would insist on fullest con-
sideration" Of the measure, ex-
pressing the opinion that this
would carry il beyond the March
g deadline. thus giving Michigan
another member and raising its
delegation from II TO Is.
As Senators johnson and Bur-
ton are expected 10 vote with
him. these three appear 10 con-
stitute pro-Michigan. anti

The foreign minister denied en-
that Germany had
brought or was bringing pressure
to urge Japan TO declare war
against the United States or
Great Britain.
He reiterated his previous state
ments that the motivation of
Japan in joining the Axis was "the
hope that it would contribute to
peace in the Pacific"
This connection is both interest
ing and noteworthy since. fort
night ago. Russia established
what is. in effect. a blockade of
Germany's only free. open road
TO and from the outside world.
This was effected by the closing
of the Transsiberian railroad TO
all shipments from the Far East
TO Germany, in consequence OF a
dispute over freight rates.

TOXIC. Feb. 22.-No early gen.
eral peace IS in sight in Europe
and no immediate war Is in sight
in the Pacific. That is the view in
authoritative circles in Toxic.
The view is held despite re-
ported peace efforts on one hand
and alarmist reports about the Far
East situation on the other hand.
The alaTTniSt rumors are SuS-
pected here of having been dellb-
erately launched.
If betierment of relations be-
tween the United States and Japan
are dependent on Japan's jumping
off the AXIS before Germany
-loosens the fury and strength of
a general assault Of Great Britain,
then the outlook for the improve
ment of those relations is not
good.
Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsu-
Okla declared to me:
Japan will stand by the tri-
partite pact which IL has signed.
1t il quite unnecessary for me
TO repeat or re-emphasize that
Yes. il was true that the Axis
pact had met with criticism in
parliamentary circles. This was
especially so regarding the obliga-
ton of Japan 10 go to the aid Of
Germany if tn a { power were
attacked by Russia. with no ex-
pressed reciprocal obligation for
Germany TO come to Japan's
assistance if this nation were at
tackled BY the same power.

that contingency 10 be so remote
that, as he put il. 1t was not
necessary to include it in the
document.
Matsuoka expressed astonish-
ment at the alarmist news dis
patches during the last few days
about the Far East situation.
These dispatches came from Lon
don and Washington and were con-
cerned chiefly with Singapore and
the Netherlands East Indies.
He. himself. is not pessimistic.
Deliberately starting a war in the
Pacific Ocean is. after all. terri
flying responsibility. Others could
take that responsibility on their
conscience. He would not.

successful mediation and first

ing constructed in Toxic between

the foreign minister declined TO be

There is no fuss or feathers
