Russian Scientists Report Ice-breaker in Sight; Prepare to Evacuate
MOSCOW, Feb. 13—(UP)—Rescue of four Russian saientists from a storm-battered ice floe on which they have been drifting southward from the North pole for nine months was imminent tonight as the ice-breaker Taimir dynamited its way to within striking distance of the men.
The Soviet great northern sea route administration believed that the rescue, climaxing one of the greatest dramas of the Arctic and its exploration, would be completed before dawn.
The last message from Dr. Ivan Papanin, leader of the four marooned men who for a time were believed to have perished in a lashing storm last week, reported that the Taimir had hove into light. SMASHES THROUGH ICE
The Taimir reported that she was slightly more than 15 miles from the floe and was slowly smashing through thick ice under guidance of light signals from the Papanian camp.
Dr. Papanin and his companions, accompanied by a little dog, “Jolly,” that went aboard the floe with them to warn of polar bears, have drifted about 1,200 miles south of the pole to within sight of the Green-

Japanese Reply to Notes Demanding Information Hinted as Cause
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 —(UJJ)— Possibility that the United States will take the lead in the greatest naval building race in history as result of Japan’s flat refusal to reveal her intentions was hinted tonight by a high administration official.
Although Japan’s reply to the American, British, and French notes demanding information on the island empire’s naval building program left the door open to international consultation for limitation of armaments, President Roosevelt was said to believe that the present time would not be favorable for a conference.
Since this government informed Japan that a refusal to divulge her building plans would be regarded as confirmation of reports that she is constructing super-warships, the only alternative, this official said, is for the United States to carry out declared intention to invoke of the London
Dictators Attacked By Jorga
- BUCHAREST, Feb. IS —fUJ?)— Nicholas Jorga, former premier and one of the key ministers of King Carol’s three-day-old military dictatorship, tonight openly attacked the dictators of neighboring countries in what was interpreted as a friendly gesture toward Great Britain and France.
When Carol proclaimed his royal dictatorship early Friday, after forcing the collapse of the near-Fascist and bitterly anti-semitic regime of Premier Octa-vian Goga, it was reported that he had acted under combined pressure from Britain, France, and Czechoslovakia.
This pressure, including delays in arms shipments and credits, was said to have been xerted in fear that Goga was leading Rumania into the Italo-German camp.
Some quarters interpreted the anti-dictator statements of Jorga, who is minister without portfolio in the cabinet of Premier Miron Cristea. as a discreed assurance to Britain and France that Carol’s dictatorship which already has abolished the constitution, parliament and freedom of the press is merely a temporary one.
the “escalator clause treaty.
This probably would result in orders by Mr. Roosevelt to increase the tonnage of the three dreadnaughts contemplated in the Vinson authorization bill from 35,000 tons each to 43.000 or 45,000 tons. High navy officials have intimated strongly that ships of that size probably would be armed with 18-inch guns, the most devastating sea weapons devised.
The president already has requested appropriations, in addition to the $553,000,000 navy supply bill, to lay keels for two battleships this

Marshall. Panay Victim, Rests In Seattle Home
SEATTLE, Feb. 13 —(UJ?)— Jim Marshall, war correspondent and writer in the Orient for Collier’s weekly magazine, was at his home here tonight recovering from injuries suffered when th® United States gunboat Panay and three Standard Oil tankers ware bombed by Japanese planes in *h* Yangtze river December 12. Marshall was aboard the Panay.
Marshall returned here last night from Victoria, B. C., where he arrived from the Orient on thfe Empress of Russia yestereday.
“The most dangerous thing to be in China today is a noncombatant,” Marshall said.
“Please emphasize that one side is as bad as the other,” he continued. “The Chinese are as bestial, brutal and heartless as the Japanese. They have no medical service whatever, and they leave their sick and wounded soldiers lying around to die.”
Marshall said more than 500,000 noncombatants have been “killed and bombed” by the Japanese in China.
Marshall said his “guess’’ was that the Japanese would take Hankow and then China would be

Memories of recently-completed final examinations will be forgotten and thoughts of this semester’* work ignored for a few hours tonight when the music of Bud Parks’ orchestra summons Trojans to th® women’s gym at 7:30 o'clock for th* first all-university dig of the semester.

NON-DATE AFFAIR
Sponsored oy the ASUSC, the dance is being given primarily for the purpose of honoring new students and acquainting and re-acquainting students new and old. In an effort to more successfully attain this objective the dance has been designed as a non-date affair, according to Caroline Everington, student body vice-president and student social chairman.
“Possibly no better opportunity to meet other students is offered incoming freshmen than this all-university dance, the first of a series being planned for this semester,’* said Miss Everington. basing her statement on past successes. “We realize that many students find lt difficult to establish social contacts during the first busy weeks of the semester,” Miss Everington continued, “and it is with that thought uppermost in mind that the dance si given.”

In keeping with the Valentine spirit, dancers will swing it and make merry amid surroundings of gala and colorful valentine decorations.
Fraternity and sorority presidents are either abandoning or shortening Monday night meetings in order that members may arrive early and get in the full two hours of dancing before Bud Parks and his band bid the crowd a musical farewell at 9:30 o'clock, thus enabling students to prepare assignments for the following day.

LANDLUBBER PREPARES TO HARPOON MOPEY'
By John W. Dunlap

All was serene until Moran was grounded here, less than two hours from his happy hunting grounds (for whales.)
To help him put salt on the whale’s tale, TWA will fly a plane over the bay and guide Moran's boat to the kill. As a last resort, he may play his classical guitar—don’t confuse it with a swing guitar.
“I will follow this monster of the deep to the Alaskan whaling grounds if necessary,” he vowed over the rim of his highball glass.
Then we asked him what he’d do with the dead whale—if and when.
