Widow, IS, Alone
In Home 6 Days
With Broken Hip
BY the Associated Press.


CINCINNATI, Feb. IA 75-year-
old widow who spent six days of
helpless agony on the floor of her
unheated home because of broken
hip was brought to hospital yes
terday.
Physicians, who reported her con-
dition serious, said they pieced to-
gether this story from fragmentary
conversation during Mrs. Margaret
Kroeger's conscious moments:
Injured in a sidewalk fall last Sat-
urday, the woman was carried into
her home by two men and assured
them she would be all right. She
lived alone. She first realized her
hip was broken when attempting to
arise from the chair in which she
was placed. The furnace fire soon
died out and she endured freezing
temperatures until neighbor dis
covered her plight and summoned
authorities.
Mrs. Natalie Thornburgh of the
hospital staff said furniture in the
home showed Mrs. Kroeger had
made futile attempts to raise her.
self and summon aid. Mrs. Thorn
burgh said she had been unable to
determine whether the stricken
woman obtained any food during
the ordeal.

Hungarian Army planes dropped

break 9o-mile jam which backed
up the river and threatened disaster
to scores of towns and villages in
the Hungarian plain.
The wharves of Budapest were

that about 700, 1000 acres were under
water in the region called Ger

WheeIer-Dodd Dinner
Confirmed by Tugwell
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)

OA o6C AsJ
Rexford G. Tugwell today con-
firmed that he had been host at a
dinner attended by Senator Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana, and the late
Ambassador Dodd, but declined to
reveal any Of the conversation be-
tween the two men.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference yesterday that he had
been informed by the late Ambas-
sador to Germany William E. Dodd'
that Senator Wheeler expressed the
view that Nazi domination of Europe
was inevitable. The occasion was
a dinner party at the home of Mr..
TugweIl here in 1884 or 1885, he said.
Senator Wheeler today denied the
statement the President attributed
to him.
There was a dinner at my home
at which both Senator Wheeler and
Ambassador Dodd we're present, Mr..
Tugwell said. "As recall the cir
cumstances, they had been engaged
in an acrimonius public controversy
about the World Court bill at long
range. After that issue had been
settled, I thought that some con-
ciliation might result from bringing
them together.
"I felt that both belonged gen.
orally to the progressive group. My
peace efforts seemed to have failed.
Evidently they remained as far apart
as ever.
"As host, I am of course unable
to repeat any Of the conversation"
Mr.. Tugwell, chairman of the New
York City Planning Commission, Is.
sued the statement from part-ttme
Office he maintains at the Interior
Department here.

Without AZ Tons Of
Food for France

From British Hults

BALTIMORE, Feb. 1.-The Red
Cross supply ship Cold Harbor sailed
this afternoon with 81 ,000, 900 relief
cargo for France and Spain-but
without a 42-ton consignment of
food for Ambassador William Leahy
at Vichy, France. -s.
The supplies for Ambassador
Leahy-canned beef, fruit, vegeta-
bles and cigars and cigarettes
delayed the sailing when it was
found no navicert for them had been
issued by the British government.
Ernest J. Swift, Red Gross vice
chairman in charge of foreign op-
erations, explained the State De-
partment had asked the Red Cross
to take the supplies, but the request
for a navicert came too late. The
Leahy consignment was unloaded
and probably will be sent by later
ship to Spain. .r
The Cold Harbor, under charter
from the United States Lines, sailed
under Capt. Albert M. Moore with
a crew OF 80 Americans, but no pas
sengers. '
It's cargo included food, clothing
and medicine for children in unoc-
cupied France and for general
relief" in Spain, Swift said. Running
the blockade with British permis-
sion, the ship will go to Cadiz and
Barcelona, and Marseilles, France.
A special consignment of 240,00O
doses of diphtheria toxoid serum was
put on the heavily-laden ship last
night, the Red Gross officials said,
in answer to ''last-minute cable
from Ambassador Alexander We'd

leader of the Free French" forces
fighting on as Britain's allies, who
from London last night called upon
the French North African forces to
help complete the conquest Of

Gen. Weygand's broadcast was

Paris Forms
New Group as
Petain' S Rival
Du Moulin Heads
Committee Standing
For Nozi Cooperation
Earlier Story on Page A-3.)


BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, France, Feb. 1.-The
radio in German-occupied Paris
announced tonight the formation of
rival committee to Chief of State
Philippe Petain's National Union"
group of 81. and violently assailed
"the men of Vichy."
The Paris committee, it was
stated, will stand for complete COL
laboration with the Germans.
Petain's committee, formed this
week, and headed by Henry du
Moulin, director Of Petain's office,
is intended to construct a new party
of national revolution and cement
spiritual unions" of all France.
Singled out for vituperation were
Vichy Foreign Minister Pierre
Etienne Flandin, Interior Minister
Marcel Peyrouton and members of
CbdDA O"h obd1As tlO mol olAd4
himself was not mentioned.
Petain May Speak Sunday.
Meanwhile it was reported that
Petain would address the nation by
radio Sunday. This was not con-
firmed.
The radio broadcast came amidst
new campaign by Paris news
papers against the Vichy govern
ment, and increasing reports of
German insistence that Pierre Laval,
deposed vice-premier and foreign
minister, be returned to the cabinet.
From Paris it was reported that
Fernand de Brinon, the Vichy gov
ernments representative, had tele-
phoned Petain a summary of con-
versations he has had with Otto
Abetz, Adolf Hitler's Ambassador
to Paris. In these, it was said, the
Germans contended no French
German collaboration was possible
under present conditions.
According to the reports, the Ger
mans complained of "duplicity" by
| the French government in its re-
lations with Germany and took the
stand 1t would hold strictly to terms
of the armistice instead of negotia-
ting for alienation of some of its
more stringent clauses.
Laval Cold Shoulder Resented.
The chief German objection to
the present political climate in
Vichy is Petain's failure to take
Laval back into the fold after meet
ing him and announcing that their
misunderstanding had been dissi-
pated.
Travellers from Paris quote Laval
as saying he had been unable to
halt certain groups in the occupied
capital from organizing in favor of
collaboration with the Germans and
in opposition to Vichy. This group
was represented as contending that
Paris can be adequately fed only
if an agreement is reached with the
Germans.
There was a possibility that Ad-
miral Jean Darlan, the Navy min
lister, would go to Paris to see the
Germans.
Today Admiral william D. Leahy
the United States Ambassador tl
Vichy, visited Minister of Food Sup
plies Jean Achard and discussed
Frances food problem.
