Shot 10 Death
Hondymon Sought
in CossopoIis Crime

CASSOPOLIS, Mich, Nov. 10
Up - A ruthless killer who
shot and killed an elderly wo-
man in her cottage last night
and fled with S400 in cash after
tying up her husband was
sought in a manhunt by the po-
lice of two states today.
The robbers victim was Mrs.
Nora Shicks, So, who with her
husband, Carl, also 50, operates
a tavern at Christiana Lake, a
resort area Is miles southwest
of here. She was shot in the
chest with a 12-guage shotgun
about 1890 p. m.
Sheriff Duane Raymond said
that handyman who had work
ed for the Shicks about three
months was missing. He is Max
Pushkin, AZ.
KILLER ESCAPES
A blockade was thrown up by
State Police of Michigan and In
diana, but hours after the hunt
had begun some time after mid
night Sheriff Raymond said no
trace had been found of Push
kin.
The sheriff said that Shicks
had called him on the tele-
phone about an hour after the
shooting, after having freed
himself from his bonds. Shicks
told the sheriff that he had been
ordered into the tavern base
ment and there tied up.
The killer, who also stole a
diamond ring, escaped in the
Shicks' car, light green sedan
(194l DeSoto).
II was upstairs in bed" the
sheriff said Shicks told him,
when / heard somebody say,
hands up, and then I heard a
shot. l ran downstairs and saw
Pushkin with the shotgun in lis
hands and my wife on the
floor"
HUSBAND BOUND
Then, Shicks said, he was or
d" ed into the adjacent tavern
and bound.
Sheriff Raymond said he had
ascertained that Pushkin was
employed by the Shicks about
Sept. l and that he had come
from Charleston, West Virginia.
Shicks said that Pushkin lived
in a nearby, smaller cottage by
himself and had his meals with
the Shicks. He had ready access
to the home, Shicks said, and
had been invited in earlier in
thu evening to hear a broadcast
address by President Roosevelt.

Mobilization Of Spoin's
Army Seen as Defensive
Observers Believe France
Sincerely Desires Peace

Ever since Suner was shelved
last summer, Count Francisco
Gomez Jordana as the new For
eign Minister has been steering
toward true neutrality rather
than the pro-Axis non-belliger-
ency which Suner maintained.
He has told all ambassadors in
Madrid that that is his purpose.
Count and Countess Jordana
dined at the American Embassy
as the guests Of Ambassador
Carlton Hayes when Myron Tay-
lor, President Roosevelt's ennis
sary to the Vatican, passe
through Madrid recently.
Although the press Is dominat-
ed by the Falange (Fascist) par
ty and some high army officers
are pro Axis, popular opinion
seems definitely to favor the
side OF the United Nations and
Allied success in North Africa
has bolstered this feeling.
From the moment that Mar
shall Rommers African Army
started retreating before the lat
est British drive, Spain began to
reinforce the Balearic Islands
off her east coast with men and
materials
The mobilization therefore
comes as logical step in the de-
velopment of firm neutrality
policy and is evidence of Fran
cos determination not to allow
the Germans uncontested pass
age through his country to strike
at the Allies at Gibraltar.
Although a r-ajority of SPANS
military equipment dates from
the civil war, much of it still Is
useable and there are plenty of
small arms and field artillery.
But she is weak In tanks.
Her weakness in planes is still
more marked but Ell Caudillo
evidently figures that if he is
drawn in on either side, the Axis
or the Allies quickly would send
him the necessary aircraft.
Assurances from President
Roosevelt to Spain and Portu-
gal that the North African cam
paign was in no way aimed at
them were quickly and grateful
ly acknowledged in both Lis
bon and Madrid although the
Portuguese capital since has sent
notes to Washington and Lon
don protesting against alleged
passage Of American and Brit
ish military planes over Portu-
guese territory.

Gen. Charles De Gaulle, lead
er of the Fighting French, had
declared in London that he and
his followers could not accept

North Africa.
AS if to add emphasis, Mr..
Roosevelt used the phrase tenn

He said it already had accom-

lives, French lives as we'll as
American and British lives.
THE second" he added, was
the vital factor of time. The
temporary arrangement h s
made it possible to avoid a mop

Morocco which might have ia
ken a month or two to consum-
mate. Such period would have
delayed the concentration for
the attack from the west of Tu-
mis-, and we hope on Tripoli :"
Admiral Darlan's cease fire"

ance helped make a "mopping

The President also said he had
requested the liberation of all
prisoners in North Africa who
were jailed for opposing the Ma
zis, and for the abrogation of all
Nazi-inspired laws and DEGREES.
This latter, he said in an inside,

BY The Associated Press

SPANS move to mobilize
more of her potential 100000
soldiers is generally accepted in
informed European quarters as a
bona fide effort to avoid fight
ing, rather than any step toward
military cooperation with her
Axis friends, it was indicated in
reliable private advices reaching
New York today.
With German military might
sitting firmly on his northern
doorstep and powerful Allied
forces arrayed across the narrow
Gibraltar Strait to the south,
Generalissimo Francisco Franco
has authorized reinforcement Of
his land, air and sea forces, 1t
was disclosed yesterday (Tues-
day. in Madrid.
Instead of using the more
forthright-and possibly alarm
ing - term mobilization, the
announcement said merely that
heads of the three armed serv-
ices were being allowed to call
up the necessary men to rein
force their commands.
CAUTIOUS STATEMENT
This cautious Technology was
accepted as evidence of the care
with which the Spanish general
issimo is treading to avoid max
ing his hungry, revolution-scar-
red country a battle-ground
again.
Advices from overseas gave
this view of Francois dilemma
and his probable plans and mo-
tiveS:
Spain now has an army of
about 100000 and it may be
doubled or tripled under the par
tial mobilization order and it is
doubtful that Ell Caudillo will
try to realize full military poten-
tial quickly.
The experience gained by
Spaniards in their own fierce
civil war adds much to their
likely fighting effectiveness, but
also adds an element of doubt
as to how enthusiastically they
would fight against one or the
other of the present warning
camps. 1t is generally agreed
that majority would be ready
to fight against an invasion.
Even under the Foreign Min
istry of Ramon Serrano Suner,
his Axis loving brother-in-law,
Franco never could be brought
fully into the Rome-Berlin fold
and he declined to become a full
partner after the fall of France
so it is unlikely he would do SO
now with Allied fortunes mount
ing.

CLAIMS CONFLICT

the Italians reported the sink

AS a prelude to the Japanese
communique, the Tokyo Radio
declared Imperial headquarters

Japanese naval victory was so
overwhelming that U. S. at
tempts at a counteroffensive in
the south Pacific are a thing of
the past"

DEATH STRUGGLE

For years head OF a mormon
mission in Japan. author of books
on Japanese traits, Senat o r
Thomas asked Americans to real
ize that they arc locked in ma
tional death struggle with an
enemy psychologically different
than any they have ever met be-
I fore, operating under rules and
codes entirely alien TO western
4 thought.
THE Japanese military creed
makes the commander In the
field independent OF the home
government" Senator Thomas
said. 1.-THE past decade has shown
how this method works.
Witness, for example, the act
Of the commanders of the
Korean garrison I'm taking an
invading army into ManchukuO
without any consultation what
soever with the Toxic cabinet.
For the sake OF the code he
calls Bushido, the last Japanese
general living off the land OF the
enemy, the last admiral with the
remnant OF a fleet, will continue
10 fight until all that Is left him
Is the suicide in which all the
living instigatOrs OF this war
more than likely will indulge,
when our bombs have blasted
away even the blindest hope"
WORLDS LONGEST WAR
The war-in the Pacific, Senator
Thomas forecast, will be the long
lest the United States has ever
fought, perhaps the longest the
world has ever known without the
breathing spell OF an occasional
IarmlStice.
He expressed the conviction that
the "Tojo gang sent forces to the
Aleutans in plan 10 invade
