President Halls Turks
For Break With Japan

President Roosevelt today hailed
Turkeys action in breaking of dip
lomatic relations with Japan as
further evidence of the formers de-
sire to see the Allies victorious,
Turkeys decision to sever re-
lations with Japan is further eyi-
dence of Turkeys desire for the
rapid and complete victory of the
Allies the President said.
This action will result in the
CLOSING c, ,ai1anese government es-
adjustments in Turkey, which, since
the German establishments were
closed by the Turkish government,
were the last footholds of the Axis
on Turkish soil.
IT welcome this action by the re-
public Of Turkey"
ANKARA, Jan. 4 4(P).-Turkey's an
nouncement that it would sever
relations with Japan promised to-
day to leave the Axis without a
reliably-organized espionage system
in the Middle East.
The japanese have carried the
espionage burden here for the Axis
powers ever since Turkey broke re-
lations with Germany last August.
American Embassy sources estimate
that at least score of Japanese
agencies have been operating here
to watch Allied shipping and get
other information.

However, he managed a plying

that he had the winner and that
she should never take tips from
a dope like Runyon even on

Then suddenly the foul claim
light flashed or the board and
presently the winner was dis
qualified and placed last and
the lady's horse was put on top
whereupon she laughed gently,
like this: Tee-hee-hee, tee-hee-

said. "Well. let us stroll over

Well, of course, there were
cries Of fie-fe and for

were murmurs of sympathy
