Strange Graft Heading for Boring Sea Somewhere
 Off Alaska Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3. - A mysterious gray steamship of un- known nationality, flying no flag, is reported off the Alaskan coast, apparently headed for Bering Strait.
 The report received in marine circles here, said the vessel re- fused to answer radio requests for her identity, ignored light signals of passing vessels and mariners were unable to identify the craft.
 Speculation arose as to whether or not the craft may be a raider.
 She is described as AGO feet long, having a cutter bow, a square stern, the bridge amidships, and having four arched cargo booms.
 Men in Seattle acquainted with most of the ships operating out of that port said the description an swered no ship of which they knew. It was net one of the Alaska Steam ship craft

CREEKS:
Still on MOue

Despite the rurnbling thunder of
Germans about to swoop through
Bulgaria toward Salonika, the
Greek armies, facing worst billiards
in Albanian history, continued to
move forward, but more slowly in
the face of stiffening Fascist resist
ance.
Chief gains were made on the
southwestern front, but gains were
reported in all sectors. Interesting
were the dispatches telling of how
Italians were taking to skis with dis
astrous results, and how Italian
mechanical forces were begging
down.
Picture editors in this country con-
tinued to get dozens of photos of
Italians surrendering, one of the cap
tons even saying that when cam
eraman happened not to be present
at one Surrender scene," the Fas-
cist troops obligingly posed for the
picture when one finally showed up.
''Tirana by Christmas did not
materialize, and the Italian stifferre-
sistance debut there was con-
tinued evidence that if the Greeks
were to be beaten back and Italy
kept in the war, German planes and
German troops would have it to do.
Hitler's statement, made when he
was ''mad" with Italy before her en-
trance into the war on the eve of
the fall Of France, that it would
take 10 to Is divisions to keep Italy
going if she did come in, seemed to
have been conservative.
Estimates of German troops al
ready available for an invasion of
Greece through the Bulgarian door
had risen to half a million, or four
times the maximum of Hitler's, es-
innate.

CONGRESS-:
State of the Nation

Calling upon all U. s. citizens to
make the sacrifices that the emer-
gency-as serious as war itself
demands" President Roosevelt in
his personally delivered message to
the new Seventy-seventh congress
pledged full defense and help for
those 60. people who are keeping
war away from our hemisphere"
He pointed out that he believed
the United States to be facing an
unprecedented foreign peril and he
asked for a 'swift and driving in
crease" in armament production.
Both the United States and the "de-
mocracies'' would reap the benefits
of such increased production, ac-
cording to the President.

the President, ''for authority and
for funds sufficient to manufacture
additional munitions and war sup
plies of many kinds, to be turned
over to those nations which are now
in actual war with aggressor ma
TONS" While he did not actually list
the nations to which such aid would
go it is generally believed that he
meant Britain, China and Greece.
President Roosevelt then proceed
ed to make clear that he did not
consider such aid an "act of war

NEW BROOM:
Gets SweeDinQ Material

The sold BROOM" namely the Sew
enty-sixth congress of the United
States, 1865 days old, having closed
down, its successor found itself with
lot of sweeping to be done, and
the evidence was plain that it was
scheduled to be stormy and ep-
ochal session.
Swearing in of new and reelected
congressman accomplished, the sem
ate and house hoppers, enptied Of
all unfinished business, rapidly be-
gan filing with the new, and it was
plain that the bills would come UNI
der three general classes.
There would be bills aimed to test
the strength of President Roose-
velt's administration, most of them
in the form of curbs upon his pow
ers; there would be administrations
inspired bills seeking wider aid to
Britain and broader powers to rush
forward the tagging American ma
tional defense; there would be some
thing done about labor. unernploy-
ment and relief, what one might
call the social relations field.
Rapidly, as the session rushed into
its full stride, various figures of i'm
portance raised their voices in one
or another Of these outstanding is
sues, some expectedly, others to the
considerable surprise Of their con-
stituents and the general public.
Back of it all the various polls,
