UNITY Is Growing
BY EDDY GILMORE.

Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
MOSCOW, Jan. 22.-Foreign dip.

assertion by Alexander Shcherbakov
director of the Soviet Information
Bureau and one of the rising young
men In the Communist Party, who
said that unity and confidence

Britain and the United States hac
increased, rather than diminished.
Any hopes that Hitler and hi.

Allies have been dispelled, Shcher-
bakov said. -
(The assurance came after
Pravda, Communist Party news
paper, had attacked Wendell
Willkie as political gambler"
for the tone Of an article on Rus
sia and printed a Cairo report
that some British officials had
negotiated with German Foreign
Minister Joachim Won Ribben-

Addressing on the anniversary OF
Lenin's death a gathering of Rus

"The Hitlerites' plans are based

tries, but they have failed. The
confidence and unity among the
countries Of the anti Hitlerite coali-
tions have increased"
The statement was taken in Mos
COW diplomatic circles as an ofIicial
answer to skeptics Who might have
asked If Russia and her Allies are
drifting apart politically despite the
Teheran and Moscow conferences.
Shcherbakov'S statement was
taken as an official statement since
he is member of the Communist
Party Politburo. Executive Commit
tee of the party.
He also referred to how the Ger
mans have Strengthened" their line
in the Soviet Union and added,

The order also provides that "tht

cepted to facilitate the program. 1
added:
THE board shall cooperate with
all existing and future internationa
organizations concerned with thu
problems of refugee rescue, main.
tenance, transportation, relief, re.
habilitation and resettlement."
No Hint of Financing Plan.
The White House statement saic
that "the board, of course, would CO.
operate fully with the Intergovern-
mental Committee (Which was the
outgrowth of the International Ref
ugee Conference held at Evian
France, in 1889, the United Nations
Relief and Rehabilitation Admin
istration and other interested inter-
national organizations"
Neither the statement, nor the
order creating the board, gave any
mint of the extent of Government
financing which might be required
Tor the new setup, nor was there
any reference to prospective re-
quest for congressional appropria-
ton.
While fullest use is to be made OF
the facilities of the State, War and
Treasury Departments, the order
also specifies that within the linn
its OF funds which may be avail
able" the board is to provide for
such personnel and services as are
necessary to discharge its RESPONSE
bilities." An executive director will
be the administrative officer.
All Agencies Must Cooperate.
"It shall be the duty of the heads
OF all agencies and departments to
supply or obtain for the board such
information and to extend to the
board such supplies, shipping and
other specified assistance and facili-
ties as the board may require in
carrying out the provisions of this
order" the President directed. "The
State Department shall appoint spe-
cial attaches with diplomatic status
on the recommendation of the board
to be stationed abroad in places
where 1t is likely that assistance can
be rendered to war refugees, the
duties of such attaches to be de-
fined by the board in consultation
with the State Department"
At House Foreign Affairs Com
mlttee hearing in November, when
resolution was under discussion to
authorize Mr.. Roosevelt to create q
commission to work out a plan for
saving the Jewish people of Europe
from determination, Breckenridge
Long, Assistant Secretary of State
said $4,000 refugees from Hitler's
reign of persecution had found
haven in this country. He added
that I'VE are ready to take all new
refugees who come out of France
or out of other occupied territory
Spain will assist them.'
Mr.. Long said that inadequate
transportation is the main barrier
to further movement of these peo-
pies, and that immigration quotas
have not been filled. The American
and British governments are shar-
ing equally the cost of this aid.
The House Committee has never
acted on the resolution.
The Anglo-American refugee con-
ference in Bermuda last spring was
understood to have been convinced
that a large-scale movement of op.

day had pitched his second no-hit
game OF the season but ne prepara-
tionS were being made TO enter the
feat in the record books.
Darkness deprived Tobin of a
chance to take his place alongside
Johnny Wander Nicer rs the only
other pitcher in modern baseball
history to hurl two no-hit games in
one season. Only very few have
pitched two in their careers.
Following Thursdays first game
in which Ron Northey clouted a

Philadelphia PhillieS a 10 triumph
over the Braves. TObin took the
mound and pitched five hitless inn
ings before the game was called.
According to baSeball's rules. If the
home team is ahead, four and half
innings constitute a game in the
event the umpire deems it neceS-
sary to call the contest. Thus, Tobin
did hurl a no-hit game. but the
record books enter only those who
pitched nine or mere innings. The
Braves. with homers by Tommy
Holmes and Butch Nieman, won the
