CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 20
(UP)-Forrest fNubbins) Hoff.
man lay in his lavender crib today.
his 3-year-old heart as crammed
with happiness as only a child's
can be with the floor about him
strewn with glittering Christmas
toys.
In his pale, small hand ne held
the glass fire engine, filled with
bright candy. which his mother
gave him. His dancing eyes fol-
lowed the black cocker spaniel
puppy as il capered around the
room. In the corner sat a bright
red automobile. The little blue
music box beside his bed. its
tinkling notes echoing the beat of
Nubbins gay heart, slowly ran
down.
CHRISTMAS COMES 80
Christmas had come and gone.
and Nubbins was tired.
Christmas. the extra special
Christmas which came to the
modest home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Marshall Fl. Hoffman more than
a month ahead of time so their
only child, failing rapidly from an
incurable bladder ailment, would
know the true meaning Of the
day, began shortly after dawn
yesterday.
c. B. Dilbeck, Cheyenne busi-
nessman, appeared in a red SUIT
and white beard with his arms
loaded down with bundles topped
by toy kangaroo.
Inside the house, Nubbins' crib
had been moved into the living
room. He had been settled on the
floor and waited expectantly with
his parents and grandparents.
AND SANTA APPEARS
Dilbeck opened the door and
STROBE into the room.
Nubbins was motionless. his
eyes widening in awe.
There's Santa" he said.
He stepped forward and offered
the stranger his hand.
Dilbeck didn't speak for a mo-
ment. He swallowed. The room
was silent.
The black. frisky puppy poked
his head from beneath a brightly
decorated Christmas tree and
brought the room to life.
There's my puppy" Nubbins
cried. and went to the tree
which was loaded with more
than 300 presents sent to the
little fellow from all over the
nation by kid loving Americans
who also mailed his parents
more than $500 to give the boy
real Christmas.
Nubhins can play with his toys
as his strength permits. but doc
tors have warned that the black
puppy may be without a master
before the real Christmas rolls
around.

Memory FOiIs
Divorce Plea

Judge Chester B. O'Hara has q
good memory. So Mrs. Naomi
Scarborough of PHI (. Jefferson
didn't get the divorce she sought
in circuit court today.
The Judge remembered that
back in 1909 his father, Judge
James OHara of Benton Harbor
had represented wife charging
her husband whit desertion. He
lost the case as the supreme court
previously had ruled that under a
marriage contract the woman
takes the domicile Of the husband.
Mrs. Scarboroughs complaint
on her desertion plea was similar.
She had left her husband, Daniel,
in Los Angeles.

Ball Rebuffed
By Two COP

WASHINGTON, Nov. IL. (UP)-
Two Republican senators gave
markedly cool reception Friday to
the proposal of their colleague, Sem
ator Joseph H. Ball (R) Minnesota,
that the u. S. call an early United
Nations conference to craft a char
ter for the proposed United Nations
Peace league for presentation to

Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg

senate foreign relations committee,
said he thought the time was mot
now" ripe for such a conference.
Senator Raymond E. Willis (R)
Indiana, said no conference should
be held until ''the state department
has assurances from Great Britain,
Russia, and China that they will
speak frankly on their peace terms"
Vandenberg, obviously out of SYM
pathy with Balls proposal and the
MinneSotan'S endorsement of Pres
ident Roosevelt in the recent cleo
ton, declared tartly, Il am sure
Senator Ball has all the answers"
Willis said second conference
shoulc be held with all the United

IF this is going to be world

Nozis Prepare
For Hold Out

ZURICH, Nov. II. CUP) = Nazi
party leaders have completed plans
fer the establishment of a vast
natural fortress in the mountainous
German-Austrian border region and
have begun moving supplies and
troops into that area in preparation
for a long siege, according to re-
ports circulated in German quar-
ters Saturday.
The top-ranking NaZis were said
to envisage heavily-fCrtified
German redoubt" comprising the
Bavarian, north Tyrolean, and AL
gauer Alps and the Vorarlberg area
where they could hold out for years
even after the Allies conquered the
rest OF Germany.
The defenses of this mountain
hideout are now being organized
and will be manned by hand-picked
veterans of the Nazi Elite guards
divisions, these reports said, assert
