IS REPORTED
(Bu Attoriatud Pratt/
Washington, Oct. 30.—Alexander
Kirk. American Charge d’Affaires
at Berlin, caliled the State Depart-
ment today the German Foreign Of-
fice had informed him orally it still
was without definite information
concerning the whereabouts of the
City of Flint.
(By Aaaociated Pratt
Stockholm, Oct. 30. — Reports from
Norway said the freighter City of
Flint, released from a Russian port
to German captors, departed from
Tromsoe, Norway, today.
Berlin.—Military secrecy has been
imposed on the whereabouts of the
United Slates freighter City of
Flint, seized by Germany as a con-
traband carrier.
So far as could be learned from
official sources, the ship was flying
the Swastika flag somewhere en
route from Murmansk, the north-
ern port she reached last Monday,
presumably for Hamburg.
The army high command mean-
while established a new mark for
terseness in its war bulletins by is-
suing on this daik and lainy day
a three-word communique:
"No special happenings.”
Berlin Tight-Lipped. 4
Beyond the word that the City of
Flint was en route from Murmansk,
authorities were tight-lipped.
They asserted "anything involv-
ing the ship now falls within the
sphere of military secrecy, hence
nothing will be saiil until the vessel
is safely in port."
Conflicting information emanat-
ing from official sources- yesterday
us to whether the City of Flint
had left Murmansk may have been
caused, it was believed, by a desire
not to reveal her movements:
(Tass. Russian official news agen-
cy, reported the freighter sailed
Saturday night from Murmansk aft-
er her engines were repaired.)
Nazis took the view that giving
the precise information when the
ship left Muimunsk would be tanta-
mount to inviting a Biitish attempt j
to capture her. Authorities have
syid the City of Flint would be
convoyed by submarines and war-
ships. From available information,
observers believed the freighter
should be heading down the Nor-
wegian coast toward the Skugcrruk,
between Norway and, Denmark.
Claim Legal Seizure.
The Fiankfurter Zeitung asserted
in an editorial Sunday that Ger-
many seized the ship legally and
that Russia released her legally to
Germany after the prize crew put
into Murmansk harbor, “because the
ship was “unseaworthy."
The owners were lucky, in the
newspaper’s view, that the pocket
battleship Deutschland did not sink
the freighter when she was seized
in the Atlantic.
Germany would have been justi-
fied in sinking her, the newspaper
said, if the City of Flint’s condition
"hampered the warship’s operation
or presented any danger.”
JUDD HUNT TO
BE INTENSIFIED
OYER COUNTRY
. Phoenix, Ariz. — The return of
Governor Jones from San Francisco
Sunday night was expected by many
state officials lo dgnitl the start of
a more intensified ir.vesitgation in-
to how Winnie Ruth Judd, twice
condemned trunk murderess, escaped
Tuesday night from Arizona Sta'e
Hospital.
The Chief Executive, who has
be< n attending a conference of
Western States' Governors, advised
his secretary, Y. C. White, here
Saturday that he was foregoing an
Oregon vacation to take personal
charge of the escape probe, which
may ultimatilv have widespread
political ramilications.
Hu.bend to Go Back.
For years the administration of
public institutions has been a burn-
ing political issue in Arizona. Only
during the last session of the Legis-
lature, the Jones administration was
generally credited with the scut-
tling of a measure which would
have placed the hospital under a
non-partisan bmQ, !c of physicians
and laymen, it is now operated
under the spoils system.
Meanwhile, Dr. W. C. Judd, a pa-
tient at. the Veterans' Hospital at
Snwtelle, Cal., who came here in
the hope of contacting his wife and
persuading her to return, was ex-
pected to take off lor home.
Saturday, after a conference with
Mrs. Judd's mother, Mrs. H. J. Mc-
Kinnell, he told Sheriff Lon Jor-
dan, “I last heard from her a week
ago. 1 don't know where she is and
I am convinced her mother doesn't.”
No Clew Found.
Both Governor Jones and Dr.
Louis J. Saze, superintendent of the.
State Hospital, have publicly prom-
ised that no effort would lie made
to have her adjudged sane- if she re-
turns voluntarily. Should she be
declared sane, Mrs. Judd still would
be subject to execution for the mur-
ders of Agnes Ann Leroi and Hed-
vig Samutlson, eight years ago.
Assessed the death penalty in
1932, Mis. Judd was held insane in
1938 after the-State Supreme Court
had confrimed her sentence to
hang.
No definite clew to Mrs. Judd's
whereabouts has been found since
she fled the hospital Tuesday night
and visited her aged parents here
to assert she had left because of
“persecution.”

Washington, Get. 30.—The. Neu-

weeks in the Senate, was received
by the House today.
Hopeful of a final vote this week,
leaders arranged for the Rules Com-
mittee to meet this afternoon and
pass upon What . Speaker Bankhead
described as “swiplcst” procedure.
Washington. — Faced with con
Dieting reports of how the House
stands on the question of repealing
the arms embargo, Democratic lead-
ers began « poll of their party mem-
bers Sunday on their attitude toward
the Senate-approved neutrality meas-
ure.
Representative Boland of Penn-
sylvania, chief whip, said the poll
would lie completed by Tuesday,
when House debate on the measure
is expected to begin.
The check-up was ordered after
Representative Fish of New Yoik
disputed a claim by Administration
leaders that the House would ap-
prove the bill by at least 30 votes.
Fish said the margin of victory for
either side would be less than 10.
In a statement Sunday, Repre-
sentative Rankin of Mississippi sabl
the Senate amendment repealing the
arms embargo faced “probable de-
feat” in the House.

Under' the procedure that th"
House leadership has in ;nind, the
measure would not be open for
amendment in the House.
Speaker Bankhead announced that
the leaderships plan was to send
the measure to?u joint Senate-House
committee to Compose differences
between the neutrality bill just
passed by the Senate and that ap-
proved by the House in June. The
latter provides for an embargo while
the former docs not.
Bankhead indicated, however, that
the House would be given one op-
portunity to change the Senate pro-
visions.
When the joint conference is or-
dered, a motion will be entertained
to give specified instructions to the j
