Wants Any Comment on Third Term Delayed Lest It Split Progressives (By Harold Oliver) WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, Senator Norris (Ind-NcJD) has ud- vised President Roosevelt to refrain from declaring his attitude toward a third term now lest it split "progressive" groups in a critical hour. The Nebraskan's advice, in a.

public statement yesterday gave a flying start to a week that will be filled with these presidential political activities: 1. The first of a series of speeches on national issues by Thomas E. Dewey, at Minneapblis on Wednesday. The New York district attorney announced last Friday he would be "glad to make the for the Republican presidential nomination. He has yet to disclose his views on domestic questions.

A GOP Meet 2. A Meeting Thursday of the executive committee of the Republican National Committee to discuss plans for 1940, including campaign financing, organization, tentative proposals for a date and place for the party's national convention next year, and possible foundations tor platform planks. 3. Saturday night's winter banquet of newspaperdom's famous Gridiron Club, which draw important political figures from both major parties and provide an opportunity for them to discuss trends and personalities at many informal parties on the side. President Roosevelt attend and make an off-the-record speech.

Among Republican standard bearers, and Gov. John W. Bricker of Ohio, who has indicated he would support Senator Taft of Ohio for the Republican nomination. Norris' Argument Senator Norris said yesterday "it would be a sad mistake if President Roosevelt acceded to these demands (to disclose his a There is no doubt that the president does not want to be a 7 ate for every honest citizen must sympathize with him in his desire to take himself out of the contest. He has earned a rest." But Norris asserted the president's fight for "fundamental human rights" had not ended, that he was the "ideal leader of the common man," and that if he were eliminated from the scene now no other leader could "unite the progressive people of America in a fight against a united, reactionary enemy." The danger would be, he added, that the progressive element would be divided into groups which would go down to defeat in a convention where the united opposition might succsed in nominating a reactionary or, at least, a candidate who was progressive only "j.n spots."

York Ut February 3--but at uhe three- a mile distance for the time, New Defenses Prepared to Protect Aalands From Seizure by Reds Strategic Islands Guard Gulf of Finland; Important to Sweden and Russia HELSINKI, Dec. 4 is fortifying the strategic Aalarid Islands guarding the entrance to the Gulf of Finland, it was announced tonight. A message to this effect has been sent to Joseph A. C.

secretary-general of the, League of Nations, it was stated. These islands had been the sufr- ject of a diplomatic tussle between Finland and Russia, Finland and Sweden had appealed jointly to the League of Nations for approval of their plan to fortify the islands, but Russia objected vigorously on the ground that such a step would bottle up the Russian fleet in the Gulf of Finland. The upshot of this issue, which was debated last June, was that the League Council did nothing. Result oi Invasion Announcement that Finland, would fortify the Aalands came, at the end of a day of apparent quiet in the undeclared war with Russia. A heavy snowstorm pro- vented air operations over Helsinki, and there was on official word of developments at the front.

The new situation regarding the Aalands, a spokesman na- nounced, resulted from Russia's invasion. Troops already are preparing defenses of the islands against, a possible Russian attempt to seize them. "The Aaiand Islands," said the spokesman, "are one of our most vulnerable points. If they should fall into the hands of another. POTGT w.ti75ld close the.

Bothnia and practically isolate Finland from the rest of the world." The Aalands, about 30 miles wide and lying about 50 miles off Finland's west coast and 30 miles off Sweden's east coast, were united with Finland under Czarist Russia. Islanders Favored Sweden "When the Finns declared their in 1917 islanders expressed their right of self- determination. In unofficial plebiscites favored reunion with Sweden. Finland, however, would agree only to autonomy. As a result, the League of Nations suggested maintenance of Finnish sovereignty and itself took over supervision of i guarantees which were written into- Finnish law and Finland agreed.

the Baltic powers a convention agreeing to neutralization arid de-militarization of the islands. Thus it was that last May, when Sweden and Finland desired' to fortify the islands jointly, they had to ask permission of the League.

government was reliably reported today to be proceeding with caution and looking well into the future in studying the possibility of severing diplomatic relations with Russia. Some senators of both major parties have advocated this course as a protest against the Soviet invasion of Finland, but the state department is known to be taking the position that the United States would many advantages should it take this step. For example, it was said, this country might be in a better position to participate in a peace conference if relations are maintained. If relations are severed, some persons contend, the United States might make an enemy which would not be desirous of having the country sit in at a peace conference which might be of vital importance to the United States. Then, too, the state department regards as valuable its -present channels of information, reports and intelligence.

Secretary Hull said at his press conference today he had not taken up the matter of severing diplomatic relations nor had he taken up the question of extending' the combat area under the neutrality act to cover Russia. The question of withdrawing recognition was kept to the fore by Republican contentions that the Roosevelt administration's recognition of Communist foj- the invasion of Finland. The government was described as believing that recall of Ambassador Laurence Steinhardt from Moscow for consultation and. report would be considered merely a rebuke and not a severance of relations. There is a precedent for such action in the recall for consultation of -former Ambassador Hugh Wilson from Berlin.

The government, was reported to be merely studying all the involved. It said that decisions on the maintenance of the present relations, or possible changes in them were dependent on these studies.

1914--Germans start heavy pressure on Russians near Lodz, By DeWITT MacKENZIE Russia's method of procedure in smashing Finland leaves no doubt that this conquest does indeed represent a resumption of the Bolshevist effort temporarily shelved by Stalin fifteen years ago to Sovjetize all Europe by taking advantage of the disorganization caused by the European war. The" conflict between the Allies and Germany has been overshadowed by the Russian drive. Europe again is beset by the fears which existed in the early days of Communism when the Comin- tern, or International, was devoting its energies to starting a "worfd revolution," and producing such bloody upheavals as the Bel a Kun regime in Hungary. Confirmation of the nature of the Russian program came in the. establishment of the Red revolutionary government on Finnish territory, barely over the border from Soviet territory.

This "government" was promptly recognized by Moscow, 'of course, and issued the customary manifesto. The Usual Procedure. The proclamation provided for the usual confiscation of lands and their redistribution among the peasants, About the only thing- it didn't mention was the "liquidation" of the aristocracy and landlords which is part of the formula for the establishment of a Soviet government, as was demonstrated again when Russia annexed Eastern Poland. All Europe is anxiously trying to guess what the Muscovites' next move will be if and when they have finished putting Finland through the mangle. The other three Scandinavian states-Norway, Sweden and Denmark-are apprehensive.

Pursuant to its plans for strengthening its strategic position in Northern Europe, Russia is supposed to have an eye on Norwegian ports. Sweden's iron mines might prove a mighty any event, apart from any fear of armed aggression, the Scandinavian states live in terror of the advancing Red wave. The trio undoubtedly would have gone to the aid of Finland had it been at all feasible. Balkans Fearful, Too. Equally fearful are the Balkans, especially Rumania with its 4ch oil wells and that big Bessarabian territory which she took from Russia after the World War.

The Soviet Union has given every indication of a desire to extend its domination over the Balkan peninsula into Turkey. Italy is utterly hostile to 'a move into territory which Mussolini regards as his preserve, and the Fascist leader has been doing his utmost to form a Balkan bloc against either Russian or German advances. So tense is the situation that Southeastern Europe is an open powder keg. In short the Communist approach is being viewed with fear and hostile alertness by virtually every country of Europe. There are the makings of a fine, general war ready for the match.

The German position isn't clear to the outside wrold, and observers erenerally believe it is a matter of deep concern to Herr Hitler Few doubt that the Nazi chieftain's, acquiescence in Stalin's expansion is given with the reluctance, for it slashes Nazidom's ambitions in the Baltic region to the bone. Hitler Tied. However, there seems to be little that Hitler can do about it at the moment because of the war-He has made what looks to many like a bad bargain with Stalin in his efforts to circumvent the Allies, but there is no way he can escape. Indeed, there is always the possibility that he may be forced Into even greater cooperation with the Russians perhaps in expansion into the balkans in order to strengthen his hand for the immediate requirements of war against England and France. The Allied inauguration of their complete blockade against Germany today is calculated to make the Reich's conduct of war increasingly difficult.

ITALIANS SHOUT 'Long Live Also Is Their Cry in Second Demonstration in Rome ROME, Dec. 4 (JP)--Grenadiers and carabinieri guarded the Soviet Russian embassy today as a throng of stndents mrched on it to demonstrate against the Soviet Union.

Peace 7 Moves Go Forward as Weather Brings Lull in the Fighting MOST CIVILIANS LEAVE HELSINKI Heavy Russian Casualties Reported as Land Mines Fell Invaders (BULLETIN.) HELSINKI, Dec. 4. Finnish government announced tonight that 1,500 Russian troops had been captured north of Lake Ladoga, in the middle section of the Russian-Finnish border. A spokesman said no details were available immediately.

(By The Associated Press) Two peace moves were afoot today to end hostilities on the snowy northern battlefields where Finnish-Russian fighting has the world's attention from the stalemated war of the western front. League of Nations machinery was set in motion for arbitration on demand of The Swedish legation in Moscow was asked by Finland to consult with the Kremlin on the possibility; of peace ''without violating the independence and vital interests of Finland." The Soviet press denied Russia intended to convert Finland into a dependency and attacked Britain, France and the United States for their attitude toward the undeclared war. Russia reported capture of five islands in the Gulf of Finland and. continued land advances on the Karelian isthmus north of Leningrad. Three thousand Soviet soldiers were said by frontier dispatches to have landed from Petsamo Arctic outlet.

Snow Stops Planes The Finnish captial, Helsinki, and environs felt safe momentarily from air raids because of a heavy snowstorm. Almost all civilians hr-d left the city for safer inland Heavy Russian casualties were reported by the Finnish high command which said land mines, machine-gunners and the thin ice coating Finland's many frontier, lakes had caused a growing toll. Finland, invoking the league's seldom-used machinery for settling international disputes, started the sudden league activity and it looked as though league members were anxious to force Russia either to submit to arbitration or withdraw from the league. A repercussion of the Finnish- Soviet conflict sounded in Rome where a crowd demonstrated in front of the Finnish legation cheering Finland and booing Russia.
