Washington, Dec. 6.?A broad pro
gram of American aid to civilian vic
tims of Russia's invasion of Finland
was being shaped by President Roose
velt tonight after he had cabled hopes
for a "happier era" soon to the head
of the little Baltic republic.
Preliminary conference held by the
President today with Federal Loan
Administrator Jesse Jones and Nor
man H. Davis, chairman of the Red
Cross, indicated that the plan may
embrace American credits for the
purchase of this nation's surplus com
modities to he shipped to Finland.
These credits, it was understood, <
might be made available, through the .<
Reconstruction Finance Corporation, ?
or through the Export-Import Bank ]
when and if Congress grants the lat- ;
ter agency an additional $100,000,000. .<
The legislators turned down the Chief ,
Executive's request for such a sum

he would renew it. (
Davis would not discuss the con- ,
fere nee with reporters and Jones ,
withheld details. He said that the:
trio reviewed every possibility of giv-| ?
ing assistance to Finland, but em
phasized that the program involved <
"what can be done for the people in
civil life." ? ij
It could not be learned immediately ,
whether the. amount of the proposed
credits was discussed.
Finland's Minister Hjalmar Procope (
conferred briefly tonight with Un- .
dersecretary of State Sumner Welles, ^
but declined attarward to reveal the (
cause L

he would iataodace a bill as soon asj ]
congress convened authorizing the; ^
Treasury Department to turn over to j,
the Red Cross the December 15 in- j
staltment of Finland's war debt for
use in the relief of distressed Finns.
"Ia accord with millions of Anjeri- ,
cans,. I am profoundly shocked. at ]
the violation of Finland's integrity
and I have boundless admiration for
the brave manner in which the Finns
are defending their homeland," he
said in a statement.
Earlier, the President had repealed
his sympathy with Finland's present
plight in a message to President Ky
osti Kallio on the occasion of the lit
tle democracy's 22nd anniversary of
its independence from Russia.

Final rites for Andrew Staten Ev
erette, 74, a well known and highly
esteemed citizen of Robersonville
and Farmville, were conducted Mon
day afternoon at two o'clock, from
the Robersonville Baptist Church, by
the pastor, Rev. E. C. Shoe, assist
ed by Rev. B. B. Fordham, Baptist
minister of Farmville. A brief ser
vice was held here at one o'clock from
the home of his daughter, Mrs. S. A.
Roebuck, with whom he resided.
A choir composed of Mr. and Mrs;
John D. Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
Holmes, Mrs. J. S. Gates, Mrs. C. A.
ryson and W. Guy, of Fountain, sang
"It is Well with My Soul", "Face to
Face", "Crossing the Bar", "It Is
Morning in Heaven", and "Going
Down the Valley." Mrs. Daisy H.
Smith, accompanist, played Beetho
ven's Funeral March as the body was

lei ving treatment for several days at
he Morehead City hospital, he was
>rought here to home of his daugh
ter, Mrs. Roebuck. Critically ill from
the time be was stricken, little hope
was entertained for his recovery and
[lis death was not unexpected.
Prior to taking up his residence
here four years ago, Mr. Everette

where he conducted a mercantile
business, for many years, being prom
inently identified with the business
life there and held in highest esteem.

~
Moscow, Dec. 7.?The Communist
International, official organ of the
Comitern, today advised Rumania to
agree to "immediate conclusion" of a
mutual .assistance pact with Russia if
she wants to avoid bang drawn into
war. ' .
Russia demanded a similar mutual
aid pact from,Finland; the Finos re
fused and the Red. Army invaded
Finland.,
Today's obviously inspired warning
to Rumania was coupled with a caus
tic criticism of Turkey's shift to the
side of the Allies.
Meanwhile, . this Red Army has
broken hrough the main defenses of
Finland's Mannerheim Line of forti
fications on the Karelian Isthmus
north of Leningrad, a Soviet military
communique said.
Tfc ManofKheim called , Am:
"Finnish Maginot .Line" in the com
munque, lies about 25 miles across
the frontier of the Finnish city of VI
Borg.
Soviet troops are advancing in all
sectors, it was stated.
The communique. No. 6 of the Len- .
ingrad military command since the
start of the invasion a week ago, said
that, above the, Arctic Circle, the Red
army had driven 36 kilometers (21.7 . ,
miles) south from the ice-frefe port of
Petsaino after overcoming Finnish re
sistance.
The Soviet troops were said to have
broken through the Finnish fortifica
tions in the eastern part of the Kare
Mlian. bottleneck near Lake Lodaga,
crossing the Tairpalainoki river and
rushing northward.
|R&K?fty LfcK Broken
id eastern sectorof the Kara- -
Isthmus," the communique said,
far artillery preparations, Soviet
ps broke through the main linte of
Finnish defenses known among the
Finnish White Guards as the Magi
not-Kirk Line, crossed the Taipalaini
oki river iqjd advanced northward."
The Communist International hint
ed broadly that Russia may be com
pelled to go to the ai<C of the "op
pressed minorities" in Rumania. + ...
* Rumanian Communists and worker*
were urged to organize a "struggle
against all .enemies of. the woxjdhg
class" and to help free the Rumanian
masses from "monstrous %xpWtar
tion."
The Rumanian government was. ad
vised., pointedly to waste no time in
concluding with Moscow a mutual , aid
treaty similar to those which Russia
obtained from Eatunia, Latvia and
Lithuania, but which the Finns stub
bornly rejected.
