Nov.

4 (IP President Roosevelt signed the new neutrality act today completing repeal of the arms embargo and opening our markets to cash and carry purchases by belligerents. He immediately signed two proclamations effecting positive provisions of the act. They were: 1. A proclamation covering use of ports and territorial waters of the United States by submarines of belligerents a prohibition of their entry except under force majeure. 2.

Proclamation of existence of a state of war between Germany on the one hand and France, Poland, the United Kingdom, Australia, Can ada, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa and India on the other, Adjourn Immediately He signed the bill before a dis tinguished company including Vice President John N. Garner and congressional leaders of both parties, a significant recognition that "politics was adjourned" in the six weeks of debate which culminated last night in approval of a new neutral ity policy by congress. The special session of congress ad' journed immediately after dispos ing of neutrality despite a republi can last stand against going home, while the 30-state drouth emergency existed. The minority opposition voted scant confidence in Mr. Roosevelt's ability to safeguard American peace and desired that congress remain on the job as a further safe guard.

Rep. John C. Shafer, had the last word in the house, warn ing that the drouth situation would rise like Banquo's ghost to plague you. Many republicans, pledged to vote against adjournment, stood hat in hand in the house to vote and waited not for the tabulation, but fled to lobbies, seized packed bags and started home. U.

S. Shipping to Europe Halted NEW YORK, Nov. 4 United States shipping to Great Britain and France halted abruptly today in accordance with the revised neutral ity act The United States lines, biggest American shipper to the allied coun tries, cancelled the sailings of three loaded ships the President Roose velt Washington, and American Farmer, which were to have sailed yesterday, and prepared to withdraw its other eight ships now abroad or at sea. The plans of other lines operating to neutral European ports was in doubt until President Roosevelt de fines the war zones from which American ships are barred. One of the first results of the new act was expected to be the tie' ing up in New York of a fleet of American ships while British and French ships take over their trade, buying munitions and other supplies for cash and hauling them away at their own risk.

Eventually, it was expected that the allies might buy or lease some of the idle American boats, or surrender to them some of the trade routes to South America, Africa, Australia and the Orient while concentrating on hauling American goods.

in to NUMBER 2G1 Norwegian Seizure Is Slap at Germany; Nordics May Limit iMazi Trade BERGEN. Norway. Nov. 4 1P American members of the crew of the freighter City of Flint, riding again under United States colors in the Bergen Roadstead, said today that they fear their adventures are not yet over. "We have been set free once before.

a member of the crew told correspondents who boarded the ship. "Now we will wait and see what happens next" One member of the crew said that he and his friends were pessimistic over prospects that the City of Flint ever would reach the United Stales. He started to recall other near mishaps to the Flint before it was captured by the raiding German pocket battleship Deutschland in support of his fears but he was silenced by Norwegian naval officers who escorted newspapermen from the ship. Crew Is Safe Capt Joseph TL Gainard. ha talked with newspapermen on his bridge, said that the City of Flint's cargo, described by Germany as contraband, was intact All members of the crew are well, he said.

The skipper confirmed tbat a sailor named Sellers, whom members of the German prize crew said was ill when they tried to land him Hausesund yesterday, was in good health today. American newspapermen were allowed to wander over the City cf Flint for a few minutes before they encountered Norwegian authorities who ordered them ashore. Captain Gainard and the members of his crew then were ordered not to talk and Gainard said that the order would have to be observed strictly. Seaman Operated On One member of the crew, it was learned, underwent an operation for appendicitis at Murmansk. Russia, when the City of Flint was there under control of a German prize crew.

The name of the patient was not learned but it was ascertained that he now is well. The City otFlint was freed by Norway rn a series of developments hav-. ing implications much greater than the simple fate of a neutral vessel carrying contraband in war time. In doing what Soviet Russia had refused to do. Norway courted the Ire of Germany which ordered a verbal protest in Islo against release of the City of Flint In Berlin official quarters described Norway's procedure as an "exceptionally unfriendly act" and said that in trying to put into the Norwegian port of Haungesund the Nazi prize crew aboard the City of Flint had ed merely to land an ill American sailor in conformity with President Roosevelt appeal for the protection of the City of Flint's crew.

Feel Ship Britain-Bound In England it generally was agreed that the City of Flint soon would make for Glasgow. The German prize crew, which had controlled the City of Flint since it was placed aboard the vessel last month after the City of Flint had been captured at sea by the Deutschland. was interned at Haugesund, where German control of the shia ended under the Norwegian action. Beyond American and allied pleas ure over the latest development in the odyssey of the City of Flint and German chagrin over release of the vessel, observers saw what they though might be a trend ultimately harmful to Germany in the war. They recalled that in the war of 1914-1918 the Scandinavian countries traded with all belligerents, making millions of dollars in profits and helping to keep Germany supplied with shipments of iron ore and other vital products.

Drift From Germany In the case of the City of Flint it was suggested. Norway, although acting strictly legally and in accordance with her sovereign rights, has shown a tendency on the part of the Scandi navian countries not to yield to German pressure and to interpret their neutrality as making it less likely that Germany can depend on the Scandinavian nations as a source of supply to help offset the effects of the British and French blockades of the Germans. Amidst glee over the freedom of the City of Flint the allies moved swiftly to cash in on the results of the revised American neutrality law. Map Shipping Plana British First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Chu. chill conferred in Paris with French Navy Minister Campin-chi on plans to run American supplies in British and French ships through Germany's submarine blockade.

Tension remained in the Baltic over Russian demands on Finland. On the other side of the world there were signs of a strong American diplomatic attitude when U. ambassador to Japan.

4 tP France figured out the implications of the United States arms embargo repeal act today and estimated that aside from the war materials involved, it had released 500.000 French and British men for the armies. It takes 7,000 man-hours to build the fuselage of a fighting airplane and 30.000 hours to build a big bombing plane, it was said. French enthusiasm was increased by the fact that, the American planes already in France have proven their worth. French experts say that though the. German Messer-Sehmidts are faster, the American planes are more easily maneuvered and have not lost a single air combat, though at times French pilots them have been outnumbered two one.

800 Search for Boy in Forest; Indians Find Print' ,7 of Shoe; Fear Lad, 7, Froze or Starved WINSLOW, Nov. 4 tlPv By the light of gasoline torches and in freezing cold, Indian trackers led a posse of 800 men today through the rough forests and rugged canyons around the sand bar where they found six prints of a small boy's shoe, each marked by a tiny star in the heel. The footprints were those of Bruce Crozier, 7 years old, who wandered away from his parents' hunting camp in the Mogollon rim country 60 miles south of here a week ago tomorrow. He had virtually been given up for dead on Wednesday, but the discovery of the prints gave a renewed hope that he may still be alive, although he has been wandering in the wilderness through nights of sub-freezing temperatures, clad only in a light play suit. The Indian trackers who came upon them said they were the dragging steps of a very weary little boy.

The Indians believed they were made not earlier than Thursday. Rugged Wilderness Even if Bruce were still alive on Thursday, as the tracks indicated, there were grave fears that he might not have survived another night or two in the bitter cold. The Mogollon rim country is a barren, rugged waste, uninhabited, and largely unexplored. Only the deer hunting parties such as the boy's parents venture into it There are sheer cliffs over which Bruce might have toppled to his death into the Tonto basin country hundreds of feet below. The search had brought normal city life almost to a standstill in Winslow.

Business men, shop keepers, clerks, and garagemen joined the crews of CCC youths and forest rangers. Even transients were enlisted. Housewives volunteered as cooks for the crews. Bruce's parents, Mr. and Mrs.

R. E. Crozier, live in Winslow. GIV0T HALES HIS WIFE INTO COURT HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 4 IP Co median George Givot's wife, who claimed she couldn't live on less than $1,195 a month alimony, was in trouble with the courts today over the sale of 71 sacks of wal nuts.

Capone Pays for Freedom CHICAGO, Nov. 4 (IP) The way was clear today for the release of former gang leader Al Capone from the Terminal Island Prison Nov. 19.

His attorney, Abraham Teitel Baum. handed certified checks for $15,000 and $5,000 to the clerk of the U. S. district court here late yesterday, completing payment of $57,692. 29 fines and court costs assessed against Capone for income tax evasion.

Capone has served more than eight years, most of that time at Alcatraz. He was transferred to Terminal Island eight months ago to serve out a year sentence with deductions for good behavior which he had been scheduled to serve at the Cook County (Chicago) jail. On the back of the $15,000 check Teiteltoaum (correct) handed the court clerk was scrawled: "Paid under protest." He said Capone was found guilty of only five of the 22 counts the indictment against him and should have been assessed only 5-22 of the courts costs. Capone's payment of the fines and costs and his release from prison will not end his troubles -with the law. On his release he will be served with a summons in a civil suit in which the government seeks to collect $350,011 in back income taxes.

4 OF State department officials doubted today that there would be any grounds for protest by this country over execution of Josef Sadowski. Chicago, by Germany military authorities. They pointed out that Sadowski had volunteered in a foreign army. thereby forfeiting his rights as an American citizen under the neutral- ity proclamations issued by President Roosevelt. It was believed unlikely that the state department would make any further representations to Germany about the incident "The German authorities the department said, "that Mr.

Sadowski gave no indication that lie was an American citizen, and since he was born in Lomza. Poland, and since he admitted that he had been a commandant of the civil" guards of the 26th commissariat of Warsaw during the siege of that city, they had no ground to believe that he was not a Polish citizen." At Chicago Mrs. Stefania Sadow ski, 50, grief-stricken widow, said she would make formal protest to the U. S. government.

"It was the deliberate murder of an American citizen," she charged. Sadowski owned a cleaning and dyeing plant in Chicago.

Some dogs take to field, others like the Dalmatian are happiest when loping behind an old-fashioned buggy or wagon. Still others prowl ths alleys, sniffing Pluto-like of secrets left on telephone poles and prying the lids off garbage cans. (Ours included until vandals swiped it Hallowe'en night.) But "Queenie" a four-year-old water spaniel, has taken to railroading. Indeed she is a full-fledged "boomer" dog, and the pride of every U. P.

man who comes through or works in Columbus. "Queenie" was just a pup when she lived at the Clothier hotel here, the possession of a young couple. But some railroad "boomer" men also lived at the hotel and their rough but warm attentions gradually won "Queenie." So when the couple moved they gave "Queenie" to the U. P. men of Columbus, knowing she would be happiest with them.

Mayor Harry Lohr keeps her "out of jail," by providing her with a dog license. And at least a dozen men keep her fed. Rather she has worked out a schedule that assures her of meals from their lunches a dozen times a day. "Queenie" lives at the switch shanties near the roundhouse. Her "work" consists largely of accompanying the "snakes" (rail-roadese for switchmen) and "car- toads" (car inspectors).

"Snakes" D. J. Rankin and K. W. Sivert and Switch Engineer Vern Caffery go on duty nights at 8 o'clock.

But first they have supper and "Queenie" breaks bread with them. She hangs around with them until about II p. m. and when she hears the distant whistle of No. 321, the Norfolk train, she runs to the station to meet a Norfolk brakeman named Larson.

Larson feeds her. An hour later Rankin. Sivert and Caffery again eat and "Queenie" is right there to take on more nourishment. But "Cartoad" L. P.

Moss also lunches at midnight and "Queenie" snacks with him, too. Then "Queenie" trots along with Moss while he inspects cars and waits for another handout from him at 8 a. m. When Johnnie Murphy and T. H.

McEnerney, the day-shift "snakes" come on duty, she dines again with them and toward noon begins "working" with T. J. Hadde- man. the day cartoad. Haddeman feeds her at noon, while Murphy and McEnerney divide lunches with her in the afternoon and early evening So "Queenie" is not undernourished.

But she does so much "work" following the "toads" and "snakes' up and down the yards, almost 24 hours a day, she has never become real fat. But this week she has been a tired dog. Scores of railroad men "borrowed.
