However, he persuaded . friendly
officer to telegraph Maria, telling
her Of his unavoidable detention.
Either encouraged by his earlier
coup, or because 1t was his habit,
the same porter At the Bristol
steamed open the telegram, and
notified the Ochrana agents that
the woman in Crovitch's case had
been found. Then the message was
delivered to Maria.
Red tape delayed arrival Of the
police. For Maria, the short warm
ing was enough. She disappeared.
1t was years later that vanity led
to Maria Sorrel's downfall, She
was caught and hanged by the
Russians because she was too vain
to cut of her hair while imperson-
ating Russian sergeant.

'(Strth OF a Series.)

A spy's job is to get information,
or accomplish whatever mission has
been intrusted to him. There are
no tactics which he will not use.
1t is not without reason that es-
pionage has been called "the science
Of foul play"
Attractive men and women use
that quality as tool, and a danger
GUS weapon it is sometimes. If you
are in possession of any sort of war
informa ton, remember this. Senti-
ment, blackmail, murder - all are
fair in espionage.
During the last war, clever, blond,
seductive Maria Sorrel was in War
saw. Further, the Russian code was
in her hands, and 1t was vitally nee
essary for her to get it Immediately
into the hands of her masters in
Berlin. Her usual channels of COM
munication were too slow for this
emergency. Even the young officers
whom she had made her slaves were
useless-but watt 1t. Crovitch!
He was a dreamer, that one. De-
clared he would do anything in the
world for her.

to maintain American friendship.
Announcement of the consulate
closings made no mention of issues
raised by the war developments,
however. The State Department
based its action on Finnish restric-
tions hampering the activities of
American consular officials con-
trary to treaty rights and estab-
ished custom.
The situation was brought to a
head by Finnish refusal of the usual
provisional recognition of Lewis
E. Gleeck. jr., American vice con-
sui at Stockholm, Sweden, who re-
Gently was commissioned for trans
fer to Helsinki, Finland, in similar
capacity.
The State Department also said
American consular officers already
in Finland had been denied their
specific treaty rights by a year old
ruling of the Finnish government
that in view of wartime conditions"
consular matters should be handled
directly through the foreign min
istry instead of directly with local
authorities.
Actions Assailed.
These actions undermined the
basis on which American consular
representation was maintained in
Finland" the department said.
AS result, the department has
closed the consular section of the
American Legation in Finland and
requested the Finnish government
to close all its consular Offices in
the United States mot later than
August l."
Fourteen Finnish consulates on
American soil will have to close
but actually few consular officials
will go back to Finland, for most of
them are honorary consuls and vice
consuls Of American nationality.
The IA Finnish Offices are in New
York, Chicago. San Francisco. New
Orleans, Boston, Detroit. Seattle

Government leaders of France on
trial for the French defeat, charged
today that a fifth column of fake

The court, at the end of today's
proceedings, suspended its sessions
until April IA for the Easter holi-
days. "a vichy message last week
said 1t was not certain the trial
would be resumed after the recess.)
I'm view of repeated testimony of
several witnesses to the effect that
stocks were left in depots and not
distributed to the army, If the ques-
ton is not clarified, am going to
ask an investigation of the activity
of q fifth column Of fake intellec-
tuals who created a deleterious at

Netherlands flyers and planes
which escaped the foe in Java In
early March we're said to be operat-

air forces, hammering at Japanese
air bases in New Guinea and else
where near the northern perimeter
of the continent.
Some ground forces likewise were
believed to have been transferred
from Java to reinforce Australia's
defenders.
Netherlands naval units which
escaped the distrous battle of the
Java Sea and other sea fighting
were shifted to the Indian Ocean to
serve under British naval command.
Severed communications make it
impossible to assess the effectiveness
of the resistance put up by rela-
lively small Dutch forces in the
principal Indies islands. Military
authorities believe it is of the same
general nature as the persistent
raids carried out in the Philippines
by forces operating in Mindanao and
other islands separated from the
main Rattan Peninsula fighting

Fierce American counter
attacks in the Bataan area re-
pulsed two heavy enemy assaults
with heavy losses after they had
pierced the left center of the
lines, a late War Department
communique reported today.
Although the fighting is still in
progress, 1t. Gen. Jonathan M.

has been restored and the enemy ad-
vance halted. United States cas-
ualties were surprisingly small. the
communique stated. compared to
heavy losses of the enemy.
American anti-aircraft gunners on
Corregidor shot down three heavy
japanese bombers during renewed
air raids on the fortress. A fourth
enemy bomber, reported as having
been hit. blew up in midair and
fell into Manila Bay.
Gen. Wainwright's field artillery
laid down heavy fire on advanced
elements of the japanese assault
troops in the first attack. Then his
forces counterattacked and regained
outposts lost during the foray.
The second attack was begun
shortly afterward by assault troops
advancing against the center Of the
line and supported by heavy con-
centration of artillery fire. Savage
fighting ensued and the Japanese
succeeded in penetrating the main
line for the first time.
In fierce counterattack the
American Filipino defenders closed
the line successfully and pocketed
considerable number of Japanese
units. These troops are now being
mopped. up" late communique

The Office of Price Administra-
ton has been given sole control over
sugar distribution, price fixing and
rationing, it was learned today.
The move is designed to place one
organization in control of a product
that previously was divided between
three agencies-the War Production
Board, the Agriculture Department
and the o. P. A.
From now on, what happens to
sugar from the time it leaves the
refneries until it is consumed in
the home or factory will be handled
by o. P. A. through Harold Rowe OF
that agency's sugar section.
Prior to an order issued by DON
aid M. Nelson, w. P. B. chairman,
o. P. A. merely had jurisdiction
over sugar at the retail level. w.
P. B. was responsible for distribut-
ing sugar throughout the country
and had to decide what constituted
adequate supplies for large concerns
and wholesalers.

100000 Fund Asked
To Provide Senators
With More Clerks
$1,000 Aides Sought;
IA Members Would
Get More Than One

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today added approx
mately $500 900 to the legislative
appropriation bill to provide
Senators with additional clerk
hire during the year commenc-
ing July /.
Each Senator was given one new
clerk at $500 a year for the pc
Rod of the emergency, the aggre-
gate cost of which is s172,600
Fourteen Senators from the larg-
est States were given more than one,
on the ground that they are receiv-
ing heavy volumes of mail that must
be opened and answered.
The two New York Senators each
will get two new clerks at $500
each, in addition to the one at 81 800.
Twelve Senator's from six States
having more than 100000 but less
than 10000 900 population each, get
one additional $500 clerk. The
States are Pennsylvania, Illinois,
California, Ohio, Texas and Michi-
gan.
Six months ago, during debate on
one of the war emergency appro-
priations, the Senate adopted an
amendment seeking to give each
Senator a $4,000 assistant, after the
argument had been made that the
war emergency had added greatly
to legislative duties. The House,
however. refused to concur and the
Senate had to abandon the amend
ment. 1t was announced at that
time efforts would be renewed later
to make some provision for add
tional clerical help.
The bill, as reported to the Sem
ate, carries $27, 6,048 for all ex-
penses of the legislative branch of
Government for the coming year,
which includes the Government
Printing ONCE and the Library of
Congress.

O.P. A. Gets Exclusive Control
Of Sugar Prices and Rotioning

The Agriculture Department still
has control over domestic quotas
The order placing control of sugar
under o. P. A. resulted from
theory by Mr.. Nelson that w. P. B
should concentrate solely on war
production and that other Govern
ment agencies should have control
of the Nations food supply.
1t also resulted from conflicting
sugar shortage views by the three
agencies directly concerned with the
product. A revision had been urged
by the recently organized Sugar
Policy Committee which has been
meeting informally in an attempt
to straighten out present intra-
governmental differences over ra-
tioning, quotas and prices.
This board is an nter-depart-
mental group composed of repre-
sentatives of the Agriculture, State,
Commerce and Interior Depart
ments the Defense Supplies, Eco
nonic Warfare and War Produc-
ton Boards and the Office Of Price

National Lottery
To Raise Revenue

Ralph B. Powers, Washington Sc
curities salesman, testified before
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee today in support of the pro-
posal to raise revenue by a national
lottery.
Representative Knutson, Repub-
lican, of Minnesota, a member of
the committee, now holding hear
ings on next years revenue act,
has introduced a bill to create the
lottery drawing.
This resolution" Mr.. Powers said,
has the merit of providing a tax
that will produce a large amount
of revenue and it is a tax that will
be cheerfully paid. If the ancient
objection that it is tax on fools
be raised, might I ask why must
fools be denied the privilege of aid
ing in the war effort"
Mr.. Knutson observed that George
Washington had run a lottery to
feed his soldiers at Valley Forge
and that Yale, Harvard and Prince
ton Universities had used lotteries
to finance some of their earlier
buildings.

Chairman Connally said today
that on the basis of information
given the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee today by Vice
Admiral Thomas c. Hart, he was
encouraged to believe that thf
United Nations forces were suffl-
GENTLY strong to hold Australia
as a base for future offensive
action.
Admiral Hart, appearing before
the committee in a closed session,
was said to have been questioned
in detail about the disposition of
Allied forces in the Southwest Pa
cific, where he turned over the COM
mand OF the United Nations naval
units to Dutch admiral before the
fall of Java to the Japanese.
Apparently" Senator Connally
told reporters, the military and
naval situation in the Southwest
Pacific is much more hopeful than
some of us had thought. From such
information as is available, in my

Australia has brought back many
of her land troops and on the

Nations will be able to hold there
while offensive power is being
built up"
Admiral Hart, reviewing opera
tons in the whole Pacific war the
alter, was said to have refused to
estimate how long American and
Filipino troops could hold out on
Luzon and Corregidor in the Philip
pines before reinforcements came.
Meanwhile, Netherlands Indies
forces were reported here today to
be still giving blows to the jap
anese invaders, nearly four weeks
after the loss Of Java.
