And consensus reached by the leaders would be turned over to the Republican executive committee for consideration, before the next state committee meeting tobe held sometime before February 3, first day for circulating nominating petitions for the April primary. The Republican state committee, however, does not openly endorse any slate of candidates, as do the Democrats. James F.

8. (A The Bronx, famed in song and story as the home of a strange dialect, the Bronx 200, the name of a cocktail, and the northern terminus of the Bronx express, has now produced: The Bron: mink! And there is no occasion for a Bronx cheer, either, becauso Frank Hoyt, a 49-year-old trapper who was arrested recently for the astonishing crime of snaring mink in the Bronx, declared the Bronx species of the expensive little animal was far superior to the Canadian variety. Hoyt, -who lives in the comparative wilderness of suburban White Plains but who found it more profitable, to come down to the teeming Bronx (pop. 1,527,685) to set his traps, received a suspended sentence on a charge of violating a park ordinance. When Borough President James L.

Lyons read about Hoyt's arrest, and particularly about his statement that he had earned a living for years by trapping mink and other fur-bearing animals in Pel-ham Bay park, he was seized alternately with dismay and delight. Finally ha adopted a puckish attitude and wrote a letter to Park Commissioner Robert Moses, saying: "It seems to me that you should have a survey made to determine how plentiful is the supply of Bronx minks and other fur bearing animals. It may be a new source of revenue to the city. It might be feasible to enter into a contract on a percentage basis with the Hudson's Bay company, or a Bronx Bay company Reports Given By Auxiliary To Hospital Members of the Junior auxiliary to the Altoona hospital met in regular business session last evening at the Penn Alto hotel. Mrs.

Winston Gilfillan, president, thanked all chairmen and their committees for their splendid cooperation in making the holiday season's Charity Eall a success financially and socially.

Pennsylvania winter sports resorts in scattered sections of the state are prepared for the height of the snow season, according to Richard P. Brown, department of commerce secretary. Dog-eleds, old-fashioned horse-drawn cutters, and bob-sled runs are being featured this year as well as skiing, snow-shoeing, ice skating and tobogganing, Brown added. Poeono vacation spots specialize in every kind of snow activity, and each year play host to numerous visitors who travel to the mountain resorts by motor, special bus, and train excursions. Pocono Manor, Onawa Lodge, Skytop, Buck Hill Falls, Pocono Mountain Inn and many other places are located in this high altitude coun try which is easily reached from New York, Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton.

Altoona is surrounded by natural snow sport opportunities. Open ski trails and long bob-sled runs draw vacationists to the fun area. Located on routes 22 and 220, Altoona is popular for its lake suitable for 'day and night skating on clean, smooth ice. Northwestern Pennsylvania has Kane, in McKean county, and Edinboro. in Eric county.

Both of these places have long snov pei iods hen visitors can experience the thrills of fast tobogganing, long ski trips and cutter ides into the white-clad woods. Kane fea- turen practice and slalom runs for alty. According to his advice, 9S per cent of tho hunter voluntarily returned their report stubs to the commission last year, and It is hoped to equal, if not exceed, that percentage this year. He suggested that all hunters check their reports before mailing them and to be sure t0 compare the number on the report with the number on their license. If they are not exactly alike he stated, the number on the report should be corrected to agree with the on the license.

He pointed out that the game kill tabulation is based entirely on license numbers, and unless the report number is identical with the number on the license the hunter might not receive credit for having filed his report. Officer Brennecke said that "tho law requires that all game-kill reports be filed at Harrisburg on or before January 15. By returning them promptly hunters will not only be complying with the law but will preclude the possibility of subsequent investigation by me or one of my deputies," he warned. 'The hunters in this county have always cooperated with me in the past, and I sincereiy hope that they will do so in this important matter."

A harrowing story of an Austrian family's escape from the dread Gestapo, the German secret police, was told today by Franz Joseph Flatz. one-time wealthy porcelain importer, on his arrival with his wife and tw0 small children aboard the French liner De Grasse. The whole family father, mother and two sons swam the Rhine to escape into Switzerland. When Hitler's legions poured into his native Austria, Flatz, an "Aryan," was not a target of Naa intimidation, he said, but he criticized the Nazis and their policies openly and often. "In March, 1938, the Gestapo came to my home and took me away.

With other antiNazi, I was thrown into prison at Innsbruck," On September 13, 1938, Flatz said he was herded with other prisoners into a train bound for the concentration camp at Dauchau, near Munich. He jumped from the train and made his way to Switzerland. From there, Flatz wrote his wife, informing her of his whereabouts and saying he would wait until she and their two sons, Kuno, 9, and Walter 8, could join him. Mrs. Flatz took up the story fror there.

With the help of friends, she raised $10,000 in German marks and one night escaped with the two boys without being spotted by the Gestapo. "We hid for two days and nights in haystacks," Mrs. Flatz said. "Finally, we reached the Rhine, and there I hired two Austrian youths to swim across the river with me and my boys. It was a long, tough swim, but my husband was waiting for me." The Flatzes were unable to get permanent visas to enter the United States.

They were granted transit visas en route to Australia. Men's Clubs Meeting Is Well Attended The weekly meeting of the Altoona Men's club was marked last night by a large attendance of enthusiastic members.

Jan. 8. Senator Minton (D-Ind) said to night that "this congress must be extremely careful of how it proceeds lest we take some action that might draw us ii.to war." In an address for the Washington Star (NBC) radio forum, he said proposals to embargo trade with Japan and aid Finland "appeal to our sense of right and wrong'' but might prove dangerous. "After we had removed an embargo in the interest of peace," he said, "we are going to be asked to place one on Japan. "After we junked our merchant marine to keep us away from war, we will be asked to go into the war definitely on the side of Finland, not by sending troops but by furnishing them the money to buy the materials of war here or elsewhere.

"That is vastly different from simply selling war materials to people who have the money to pay for them and the ability to take them home in their ow-n vessels, a doctrine which we approved in the last special session, "If we want to stay out of war, we must not take punitive measures against one side engaged in war or throw materials aid to the side of the combatant against another, however much we may sympathize with one side or the other."
