Soviet Discards
Revolution
Marching Song

MOSCOW, Dec. 21 (UP1-The
Internationale. belligerent march
ing song of world revolutionarieS
for almost three-quarters of GEN.
tury, was discarded as the official
anthem of the Soviet Union Tues
day in favor OF a nationaliStic hymn
clarifying the Red army and the
internal unity of the Russian peo-
pie.
In a t-pically symbolic gesture
that indicated the change in Rus
sian world politics as clearly as any
diplomatic action Moscow ever has
taken, the Soviets announced that
the revolutionary Internationale no
longer is considered compatible
with the new spirit of the nation
The battle song, which has been
the Russian anthem since the revol-
ution of 1918, does not reflect the
fundamental changes which have
occurred in our country as a result
of the successes of Soviet construc-
ton and does not reflect the realit-
les OF the Soviet state an official
statement said.
The new national anthem, hymn
Of the Soviet Union" will be intro
duced formally on March Is Writ
ten by young poet. a newspa per-
man, and a Red army musician, it
contains no reference to the inter-
national solidarity of the working
classes.
The new anthem resulted from
months long contest in which more
than 100 of the Soviet Unions lead
ing poets and composers participat-
ed.
CRobert Magidoff. former NBC
correspondent in Moscow, said in
a broadcast that the decision to
drop the Internationale was reached
more than a year ago.
The words of the new anthem is
a wide departure in sentiment from
that of the Internationale. written
by Eugene Potter, a member of the
Paris Commune of 1871.

Rains Help Out
In Valleys
Gasoline Dearth

El Centre and Imperial county
motorists have not been rationed
on their gasoline this month, bu.
they should thank the rains of the
past two weeks for their good
fortune.
Distributors and dealers alike dc
clared Tuesday that the curtailmen;
of farming operations along with
decreased driving in general has
enabled them to stretch their stocks
which were reduced this month due
to cut in allotments through the
refinerieS.
Early in the month it seemed ap-
parent 10 several dealers that the
gasoline problem was acute and
that they would either use up their
allotment before the end of the
month or would he forced TO ration
their customers, but with the peak
agricultural demands postponed be-
cause of the farmers inability to get
into their fields they have been able
to meet all demands thus far.
Standard On officials report they
have increased their authorized
dealers allotments according to the
government business the station
handles. General Petroleum advised
that they ale now $4,000 gallons
short due to the smaller allotment
but they will take care OF agricul-
tural demnads. Shell Petroleum
reports that stations are selling
their daily allotment and then
closing their pumps, but they MAJ
just be able to get through the
month.
Several dealers. who have begun
operation on shorter hours, soma
cutting from Is and 13 hour daily
service to 10 and u hours and
closing Sundays, report that they
expect 10 get through satisfactorily
This reason and the fact that pro-
duce trucks and agricultural de-
mands have been cut to the bottom
were contributing reasons why no
acute shortage has been felt. All
agreed however, if the pinch comes
in January, as it likely would, in
their opinion, that pleasure car
drivers would suffer first.
FUTURE NOT BRIGHT
Distributors and dealers alike did
not paint rosy future picture for
the pleasure driver who is enjoying
a respite and holiday from short
ages this month.
The San Diego OPA office came
out Tuesday with a word of eau.
ton to dealers, stating that as
long as service stations remain
open to the public they must treat
all customers alike, whether they
are old ones or new A station
which Withholds gas from one Gus
toner but delivers it TO another is
subject to the usual penalties for
violation of the rationing rules.

Nazis Eye Danes
Sabotage Acts

report for Hitler on widespread
sabotage and underground resis-
tance in Denmark despite severe
Nazi repressive measures.
Other quarters speculated that
Seyss?Inquart may be given SUI
preme authority over Denmark.
Belief that a reorganization is
imminent springs from apparent
German recognition that Denmark
will remain weak spot in the Nazi
European fortress as long as polit-
ical and police affairs are partly
controlled by Danish authorities.
German failure to suppress the
Danish saboteurs was emphasized
yesterday when a fire of presum-
ably saboteur origin swept the main
building of the Riffel Syndicate

firm.

ment following testimony late Mon
day by Ray Best, director OF the
Tule Lake center.
Best said he did not call in the

that Rear Adm. Kenji Shibazaki,
commander OF the japanese gar
rison on TaraWa island, was killed
along with all his troops in the
battle for that mid-Pacific outpost
last month.
The broadcast, recorded in New

death of the Tarawa commander,

that all communications with the
island were broken long before the

Russia Could Absorb
Surplus U. 5. Goods
After War, Bait Says
BY the Associated Press.


DENVER, Dec. 3.-William L
Bait, vice chairman of the Wal
Production Board, suggested last
night that devastated areas of So.
Wet Russia could absorb much of the
excess goods and equipment OF
Americas highly-geared production
machine In the immediate postwar
period.
Mr.. Bait, in a speech before the
Colorado Council of American So
Wet Friendship, saw Russia as a
good customer Of the United States
adding:
For good many years after the
war has ended, the question is not
likely to be how much and how fast
does the Soviet Republic want ou1
goods, but under what conditions
we will be ready and willing to fur
nish them
"A substantial part of her fac
tories, her machine tools, her power
plants, her transportation equip
ment, and so on at much length
will have to be replaced We shall
doubtless have a considerable sur
plus. An abundance of shipping is
sure to be available"
The greatest problem will be to
work out satisfactory international
arrangement for the interchange of
goods and services, he said.
On the other hand. Russia, with
her tremendous reserves of raw ma
terials. such as platinum and iridi-
um which are not produced in
quantity in the United States, will
have much to contribute to two
way trade, Mr.. Bait declared.

Smuts Urges Britain
To Obtain Equality
In Trinity Of Powers
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Dec. 3.-Jan Christian
SHUTS, Prime Minister of the Union
of South Africa and war cabinet
member, has suggested that Britain
strengthen her position in Western
Europe lest she become weak and
unequal partner in the great trinity
of power" Britain, the United
States and Russia
In a speech delivered November
IS TO the United Kingdom branch
Of the Empire Parliamentary Asso-
citation, but made public only last
night, Marshal Smuts asserted that
st the end of hostilities, in which
three of the five great powers in
Europe will have Disappeared
rleaning France, Italy and Germany
Russia will be mistress Of the
continent"
He declared moreover. that Rus
sia would be in position of power
unique in European history because
the japanese empire also will have
gone the way of all flesh and there
fore any check or balance that might
have arisen in the East will have
disappeared
Must Retain Leadership.
Marshal Smuts remarked that
some of his ideas might be "ex-
ploSive," but said that these were
explosive times, and developed these
themes:
That after the war America, Brit
ain and Russia would hold world
power and must retain leadership"
in peace-a peace which he predicted
would come very slowly, perhaps SO
slowly as never to make possible any
general peace conference at all. but
only a comprehensive armiStice
which would permit "a long process
OF working out solutions"
That with Russia in the new tri-
glory and an honor and a prestige
such as perhaps no nation ever en-
ioyed." but economically poor as
against the vast resources of the
Soviet Union and the United
States-"an unequal partnership,
am afraid"
In view Of this. he continued.
should we not cease as Great Brit
ain to be an island? Should we not
work intimately together with these
small democracies in Western Europe
which by themselves may be lost.
rs they are lost today and as they
may become lost again?
Equal Partnership Urged.
surely they must feel that their
place is with this member of the
trinity CBritaim. Their way of life
is with Great Britain. their outlook
and their future is with Great Brit
ain and the next world wide British
system.
Il think this trinity will be a sta
bilizing factor. a wall of power be-
hind which freedoms and the de-
mocracies of the world can be built
up again. 1t will be the protecting
wall.
But I should like to have that
trinity trinity of equals. I should
like to see all three of them equal in
power and influence and in every
respect. I should not like to see an
unequal partnership

spring to extort more than 81 500, 900

tradicted some of his earlier testi-
mony.

man, a defense attorney, Roach re-
peated his previous statements
Abruptly, Mr.. Wegman turned to
Judge John Bright, saying:
L ask that this witness be held
in perjury. 1t is useless to continue
to question him.
The jurist directed a marshal to
take Roach in custody.
The questioned testimony con-
cerned Roach's statements about a
trip he said he took to Chicago in
November. 1899, to deliver a package
to the late Frank Nitti, a member
of the Chicago gang which the Gov
ernment contends extorted money
from producers by maintaining un-
dercover control of IATSE affairs.
