The resolution, which will be
published in full Monday, was
understood to condemn the Axis
attack on the United States as an
attack on all the Americas and
to pledge the western republics
not to reestablish relations with
the Axis except by unanimous
action.
Its fate apparently depended
chiefly on Argentina, and il was
learned that supporters of the
resolution had failed to get an
outright pledge from the Argen-
tine delegation backing it.
However, the conference was
cheered considerably by a let
ter from acting president Ramon
Castillo of Argentina expressing
his country's sincere desire to
collaborate fully.
There were recurrcnt reports
that Chile, With her long Pacific
coastline exposed TO attack,
might join Argentina in oppos-
ing severance of relations.

CLASS DAY

"On my way down this morn
ing" the Professor said to his
class in criminology at the Uni
versity, II was thinking of that
simply amazing and amazingly
simple play that coach Bernie
Bierman of Minnesota employed
against the Wildcats of North
western University last season.
There were 81, 900 people in the
stands but not 500 observed the
spectacular play that gave Min
nesota an 8 to 8 victory. It re-
minds me of an experience had
last week in a southern seaport
town.
Three hundred u. S. sailors
had shore leave that night to-
gether with $50 marines. An
Army camp was nearby. Walk

two patrol wagons drive away
with a group of assorted mill
tary. / asked likely looking
lad what had happened.
Happened he replied ex-
citedly, Man that was fight!
Two fights! Two stick-up guys
came into Mike Popolopulous'
restaurant. There's five gobs,
three marines and nine soldiers
in there-some of them with
DANES. One of the hoods pulls
his roscoe and yells that It's a
stickup-that any mugg who
moves an eyebrow will get hot
lead in the belly. Well, sir, you
shoulda seen them guys get into
action. One of the soldiers

WHIPPED automatics from their
hip pockets (they must have
been in the Intelligence) and
dropped them hoods cold. But
here's the payoff! While all
this is goin' on, one of the
marines makes a pass soldiers
fluff and there's another riot!
An Infantry regimental sergeant

began to mix it when the bulls
stomped in. Then i

NEW YORK. Jan. 17--P-
TeEoe navy confirmation of the
pcoeumable torpedoing of q Sec
ond tanker in the New York
CITY area intensified today the
hunt for underwater craft along
the Atlantic coast.
An unknown number of sur
v1vors has been picked up" the
navy said in reporting that the
o.7o8-ton Coimbra, flying the
dag Of . US. ally, had been
found in "a sinking condition"
approximately 100 miles east Of
New York. No mention W a S
made Is to the whereabouts of
survivors.
The announcement said t h e
tanker "is assumed to have been
torpedoed by an enemy SUBJ
marine" The time of the at
tack was fixed at about $50
am. (EST) Thursday, approx
Inateily 80 hours after the Pan
amarvian tanker Norness fell vic
tim to a submarine so miles to
the east.
Maritime circles deemed it
likely that the Coimbra sur
vivors were picked up Thurs
day because coast guard n d
naval craft had searched the
area thoroughly after a coast
guard plane dropped food and
to men seen in a life
boat and on q raft. Until the
navy confirmation yesterday,
that action of succor had con-
stituted the only official word
that a second ship had be en-
sunk.

Rich Patients
MayDo Without
Private Nurses

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17-R)
The Office of Defense Health
said today that well-to-do pa-
tients might have to do without
private nurses IL soldiers and
sailors need them.
Alma c. Haupt, executive sec
rotary of q defense health sub
committee on nursing, said In
a statement to q houe committee
studying methods for. maintain
ing the nations civilian health
that all forms of luxury nurs-
ing might have to be curtailed
soon for the duration of the war.
Instead of using private duty
service as in the past" she said,
lit will be necessary to share
nursing service and to develop
what is known as group nurs-
ing
In the last war, 24,354 nurses
were in service with the Army
and Navy. Present service re.
quirements have become q mill.
tary secret since this country'a
entry into the war.
Miss Haupt said that, in the
event of an incident" it may
be necessary Ito pool all local
nursing resources under one CEN
trail service and to have flexible
interchange of nurses in hos
pital, private duty and public
health service"
She informed the committee
that the American Red Cros.
had enrolled first reserve of
25,70O nurses-those under 40
unmarried and physically fit
as reservoir to meet Army and
Navy requirements. She added
that the number would have to
be increased to over $4,000.

II Dead

her three children-George, 10;
Neil, 6, and Sylvia, 3-were shot
and stabbed to death and their
house near Ellsworth set on fire.
The father of the family, 35, who
was not at home, is the only
survivor.
The last previous violent death
in Pierce County, hardy farm
ing and timber area Of some
$4,000 population, occurre d
more than eight years ago.
Something evidently sna p
p d" in Seipel, was the way
Waller explained the wiping out
of the family on their farm home
near Plum City, 20 miles from
Ellsworth.
FAIL'TO ANSWER PHONE
The bodies were discovered
last night by relatives, after the
family had failed to answer the
telephone.
All the Seipels, with the ex-
ception of the husband, were
found in their beds. Seipel,
was on the floor with q high
powered rifle alongside.
Charles Tierney, assistant po-
lice chief of st. Paul, who as
sisted local authorities, said all
except Seipel had been shot at
least twice. There was one bull
let hole through the husbands
head, he asserted.
DEAD AZ HOURS
Tierney said inspection by
physicians and information from
neighbors, indicated the family
had been dead about 48 hours,
which would make this tragedy
precede the killing of the Pc
tans, which was on Thursday
afternoon.
Waller said he would issue a
warrant today accusing James
Simecek, 22-year old-neighbor-
ing farmer, of first degree MUIR
der in connection with the Pc
tan case. Waller said Simecek
had confessed Staying Mrs. Pc
tan and her three children be-
cause of an attraction" he had
for Mrs. Petan. The youth was
held in the county Jail on an
open charge.
Simecek confessed, according
to Waller, after tests showed
blood on his shirt was human
and not of animal origin as Sim
Geek had said. A pistol and
hunting knife, which the youth
told Waller he used in the at
tack, were found in Simecek's
home.

Thomas J. Wilson, state civil

Wilson said the survey, the

direct substantial savings in
money and personnel - but
especially in money"

Wilson said. "They will think
it just can't be, but ! believe
similar savings can be effected
in many other departments"

IDEAL ROMANCE
Her marriage to Clark Gable
was one of the towns ideal ro-
mances. She wanted very much
to have children but her health
would not permit. Her friends
warned her that she and Will
liam Powell, her first husband,
were too much alike tempera-
mentally; that they'd never
make a 60 of it.
Although she and Gable ap-
parently were alike in their hap
py-go-lucky, casual, gag-playing
ways, they complemented each
other. Lombard liked fun and
practical jokes (she sent a large
ham to Gable after their first
meeting) and people. Gable,
older, is more settled, the stay
home-type.
BUILT RANCH HOUSE
The Gables built an unpreten-
tious ranch house but they new
err entertained large groups,
never gave parties to maintain a
front. They entertained only
the people both liked. When
they could, Carole and Clark
went away in their elaborate
station wagon to hunt or fish or
just to ride.
Great wealth did not impress
Carole. She earned more than
two million.
II hope" she said recently,
that l never lose the thrill of
buying a new dress. Sure, l
could buy a dozen dresses at a
time, but what fun is that? 1
like to shop around; it's fun. l
like to buy a suit and wonder
if 'Pappy' cher pet name for
Gable) will like it. / like to
buy one hat and hope it'll look
silly-but not too silly"
Carole has a masculine DELHI
erateness about her career. She
always was sure of herself, but
if a role turned out badly she
never shifted the blame, as is
the Hollywood custom. She
would say, in characteristic fash
ion, Il sure stunk up that one"
Carole, 80, came here from
Fort Wayne, Ind, when she was
7, with her mother, Mrs. Eliza
beth X. Peters, and her two
younger brothers. When she was
16, and in high school, Carole
got a chance to work in Sennett
comedies. She played a few
minor roles and then was cast
opposite William Powell in II
Take This Woman" Her star
began to ascend then.
In 1850, again with POWell,
she set the style for the long
cycle of screwball comedies.
From then, her pictures were
high successes and her salary
grew to S150,000 picture.
Her best pictures included
True Confession" Nothing
Sacred" Made for Each Other"
Twentieth Century Vigil In
the Night MIR. and Mrs.
Smith" and They Knew What
They Wanted" Only a few
weeks ago she completed ITO Be
or Not To Be-" comedy with
