Welfare Agency Offers Aid In Christmas Distribution At this season of the year, everyone is ' moved to acts of kindness kind-ness and benevolence because of - the- spirit of Christmas, and we sincerely believe that whoever is so motivated is desirious of having his contribution accomplish the most good.

We are therefore offering 'our services as a sort of clearing house to Ul private agencies who desire to make. Christmas contributions contri-butions to distressed families during the hoiiday season. .We are making this offer because it tiasrebme to our attention thatxin the past there have been many , duplications in some instances in-stances while in others there has been no attention given to families in distress.

Ignore Hoover Demands to Snub Soviet; Steinhardt Needed There; Italy Likely To Join Allies "After Rumania Ru-mania Gets Nazi - Soviet Squeeze ; Mussolini's Hope' For Balkan Spnere of Influence Influ-ence Would Be Shattered. WASHINGTON Herbert Hoover's Hoo-ver's demand that Roosevelt withdraw with-draw the American ambassador from Russia has put the present IncuifiBent of the White House on an ajriusing and paradoxical pot. - Inside fact is that FDR seriously serious-ly considered recailingAmbassa-dor recailingAmbassa-dor Steinhardt some time ago, but the state department opposed. And now that Mr. Hoover has decided de-cided to do some coaching from the sidelines. Roosevelt Is not so likely to follow the advice. For one sure way or not geuing some-thing.done some-thing.done around the White House is to have. Mr. Herbert Hoover urge it. , .... Not many people knew it at the time, but Roosevelt was very much Irked at Moscow during the seizure of the City of Flint. At that time, Ambassador Steinhardt suffered all sorts of Indignities. When he tried to telephone Captain Cap-tain Gainnard, commander of the vessel, the connection 'was cut. When . he tried to eee Foreign . Minister Molotoff, he was kept cooling his heels for ten hours. When he went anyplace outside of the embassy, he was shadowed. " It is a loner established rule of international law that an arabas- . . . . . . . cduur uui see uic yJi &3iucw c ui king of any country immediately. An ambassador represents the person of his chief. An insult to him Is an insult to the head of his state. - ' So Roosevelt increasingly provoked pro-voked at ,the Russians, proposed to show his displeasure by recalling recall-ing Steinhardt, though he did not want to sever diplomatic relations.
