Assembly Speaker Gordon Garland
said today he agreed with Gov Cul-
bert Olson that it is futile to call
a special legislative session on re-

A two thirds agreement would be
easy" to achieve, Garland added,
IF the governor would leave the
legislature alone and not influence
the members to adopt his particu-
lar type of relief program"

carrying the relief burden since

According to Doaei, some Chi

The principal provisions of the

other areas.
2.-China would send troops to

strength of the impending advance.
The Russians claimed, in addition
to great damage to enemy columns,
the destruction of 244 German
planes in the last two days. Berlin
reported 1873 Russian planes shot
down on Friday.
Another unconfirmed report cir
culated through Riga that the Ger
mans had bombed Leningrad heavi-
ly but it was received with reserve
pending more definite or official
word.
An fashioned infantry ad-
vance instead of swift blows by
panzer units was reported by the

German shock troops early Satur-
day assaulted the main Russian
defenses, described as the Stain
line, in a successful onslaught.
LINE THREATENED
The German drive, which was not
mentioned by the Nazi high COM
mand, presumably was in the Os-
trov-Polotsk sector, where the Rus
slams last reported severe fighting
against a numerically superior enc
my on Thursday.
Such a thrust, if successful, would
break through extremely difficult
terrain between Leningrad and Mos
COW and permit the Germans to
employ their favorite tactics OF
spreading out in all directions IN
an effort to encircle the main enc
my armies. They also would be
in a position to thrust panzer COL
umns at both Moscow and Lenin-
grad and to grab at the main Rus
sian railroad lines.
The attack in the northeast area
probably carried some of the essen
tial blitzkrieg strategy of surprise.
Although 1t was an infantry opera
ton, the German high command
may have picked the most difficult
terrain in the hope of encountering
soft spot" that had not been
as strongly manned.
The same tactics were used in
breaking through the French front
on the Meuse, which was regarded

The government, meantime, plan
ned TO use the confiscated German

United States from Western Hem

confiscated under the 1917 espion-

None OF the Danish ships were
sabotaged.
The commission said two of the

The owners of the Danish vessels

Officials said that the forfeited
