troops in Narvik again.
Thcv said that there had not been
any heavy British bombardment be
fore landing forces were sent ashore
but that Narvik's biggest building, a
hotel, had been destroyed.
In southeastern Norway sporadic
fighting between Germany and Nor
wegian forces brought the invading
Nazis nearer the Swedish border.
The Norwegians, meanwhile, were
urged to greater efforts by their ag
ing sovereign. King Haakon VII, who
last night broadcast an appeal to his
people to fight for "freedom and in
dependence."

Hitler's Latest Move May
Not Be Pleasing to Stalin
''Continued From rage One)
Hitler can yet around to attending
to the Green landers, but that time's
forseen.
IIow About Stalin?
What Washington diplomacy would
like to know is:
What does Russia think about
Germany's push to its northward?
In the last World War the Rus
sians' ambition was to scoop in the
northern end ol' the Norwegian
Swedish peninsula, with an Atlantic
outlet by way of the now much-ad
vertised port of Narvik, Norway.
This time, when the Soviets hop
ped on Finland, it generally was
taken for granted that their purpose
was realization of the original scheme
to get to the western ocean as per
Petersburg's earTre. rrustrated am
bition. It wasn't questioned that hav
ing disposed of the Finns, the Com
munists' next step would be to seize
the whole Arctic-Atlantic coast down
to Narvik at least—maybe farther.
Today Comrade Stalin has been
forestalled by Hen* Hitler.
The best guessing in neutral cir
cles is that this must make Comrade
Stalin extremely sore. He probably
doesn't particularly care about Den
mark. Copenhagen is a mere incon
venient side door into the Baltic.
Even if the Germans and the Rus
sians succeed, between them in
OWN THE
SMARTEST CAR
in the low-price field
You've never seen such stunning
lines—such richness—in a car that
costs so little. Behind Ford's dy
namic V-8 engine is a smart and
luxurious body—smoothly stream
lined, no unpleasant bulges.
Amazingly roomy, beautifully
tailored, it's interior is strikingly
different. Look at its handsome,,
finely-tooled instrument panel, the
new two-spoke steering wheel, the
new finger-tip gearshift lever.
Go to your nearest Ford dealer,
look at all 22 new features. You'll
see why Ford's the buy for '40.

managing to °et possession of the
latchkey, Germany may get a spell
jot anti-Russianism and lock the, door
■ against the Muscovites.
Whichever une gets possession of
a port like Narvik or Bergen or else
, where on the Atlantic coast, will have
access to the whole outdoors.
It's a lair surmise that they're
jealous of one another.
Italy Versus Russia
Newspaper quotations respectively
from Rome and Moscow and diplo
matic reports from our Italian and
Russian embassies indicate to Wash
ington that II Duce Mussolini is quite
well satisfied with Herr Hitler's
Scandinavian campaign, but that
j Comrade Stalin seems pretty glum.
TK.,t
j II Duce's realm is too far removed
from tlic North Sea, the Baltic and
: the Scandinavian Atlantic to concern
him. What frets him is the prospect
at Gibralar. Suez and in Balkan
j waters. He doesn't care a hoot for the
northern Atlantic outlet. Correspond
ingly. Comrade Stalin's headache
i isn't with Italy's Mediterranean. He
has his responsibilities to the south
eastward. but he can take care of
them by land.
Herr Hitler \r right in trie middle.
It keeps him guessing.

AMERICA'S BUSIEST
CIGARETTE
Chesterfield goes to bat with the
Definitely Milder
Cooler-Smoking
Better- Tasting
. . . these are the three good
qualities that every smoker
wants and every smoker gets
in Chesterfield.That's because
Chesterfields are made of the
world's best tobaccos, blended
in the right combination.
You can't buy a better cigarette.
"The Yankees," soys JOE McCARTHY, "win cham
pionships because they're good in the box, at bat
and in the field". . . CHESTERFIELDS win more
smokers every day because they're fops for
cooler smoking, belter taste and real mildness.
