HITLER IS MAN OF YEAR, TIME THINKS NEW YORK, Dec. 27 OP) Time magazine's man of the year 1938 is Adolf Hitler, selected by the editors the most "newsworthy" in the past 12 months.

UP) Zona Gale, the novelist best known for her portrayal of life in small mid-western towns, died tonight in Pas-savant Memorial hospital. She was 65 years old. The Portage, author, who was the wife of W.

L. Breese, a manufacturer, died of pneumonia. She had been placed in an oxygen tent almost a week ago. Yesterday, she began sinking rapidly. Her husband was at her bedside.

She was brought here for treatment of another ailment and was transferred to Passavant hospital when pneumonia developed. Zone Gale believed that since she wrote about folks in small towns, she must live in one. Therefore, "home," for her, was Portage, where she was born August 26, 1874. Living in Portage, she could make practical application of her credo that the middle west is unsurpassed as a place for the creative artist to live and work. "How can an artist function in New York, with so few hours and so much food or so little?" she once asked.

And her "function" was not only the writing of novels and plays, but an active participation as well in the affairs of hor city and her State. Her years of greatest service coincided with the rise of the late Sen. Robert M. LaFollette and with the growth in political influence of his two sons. Philip and Robert.

In private life she was Mrs. William Llewelyn Breese, her husband being a manufacturer and banker of Portage. They were married in 1929. A prolific writer, Miss Gale nevertheless found time to speak when one of the LaFollettes was campaigning. At first, she made political talks before clubs and civic meetings.

Later, she used the radio frequently. This in addition to the! writing of more than seven books nd two plays. She was b'est known for the novel, "Miss Lulu Bett," and for the play into which it subsequently was made. "Miss Lulu Bett" won the Pulitzer prize in 1921 and had a long and successful run, both in New York and on the road. The mid-western scene was consistently the theme of Miss Gale's work.

She drew more than once on characters from Portage to people her novels. And the sleepy town, historic as a fur-trading center, responded by honoring her as Its "first citizen." Portage has been called a "typi eal" mid-western city. Big trees lint its narrow streets. There is a river the Wisconsin, and a swimming hole; a community center and railroad yards; a rich farming community nearby which typifies the hst in Wisrnnsin nirrifiiltiiro From Portage, Zona Gale could travel easily to Madison, the state capital. For many years she made the trip regularly as a member of the university board of regents.

The senior Senator LaFollette had appointed her when he was governor in 1910. Once free from that duty, she established a series of Zona Gale scholarships," which gave many promising writers the impetus to continue their work. She had always written. Printed and bound in ribbon, her first book of fiction and verse was illustrated by herself at seven. From the time he graduated from the University of Wisconsin in 1895, she wrote and submitted stories steadily with no acceptance until 1904.

Newspaper work in Milwaukee and New York filled the intervening space. A half-dozen plays were additional fruit of that period. Her novels included "Birth," "Miss Lulu Bett," "Faint Perfume," 'Preface to a Life" and "Borgia." Short stories and essays are grouped in "Yellow Gentians and Blue," "Friendship Village Stories" and "Portage, Wisconsin." Her poetry is published in one volue, "The Secret Way." Plays were "Miss Lulu Bett," "Birth," The daughter of Charles Franklin and Eliza Beers Gale, she credited to them her stature as a writer. "I should say," she once wrote, "that the consistent and even urgent encouragements of my parents to follow my line of strongest tendency was the greatest factor." The University of Wisconsin recognized her work in June, 1929, by giving her the honorary degree of Litt D. WAR MATERIAL IS IN HEAVY DEMAND WASHINGTON, Dec.

27. (IP) Automobiles, scrap iron and cotton important staples for rearming nations moved abroad in heavier quantities in November despite a more than seasonal decline in general exports. "Sizeable gains were shown in November for exports of automobiles, iron and steel semi-manufactures, particularly scrap, and a small increase for raw cotton," the commerce department deported today. Many commodities were exported in smaller dollar volume in November and in October, although reduced shipments of leaf tobacco, dried fruit, crude petroleum and copper accounted for the major part of the decrease in the value of total export trade. Among principal imports, increases were recorded in November for raw silk, coffee, whisky, and wood pulp.

Gravity Affected Its backbone, now sunken hun- ririvU tn thmieanrla of feet and I buried under subsequent rocks and soil, ran tinder the three big cities. I The mass of this sunken ridge is I so great that above it the force of gravitation is slightly high. The difference is too small to be read on scales, or for human senses to detect, fcut it is found on gravity pendulums, which were described by George P. Woolward of Prince- ton university.

Appalachia towered high above the earth's surface 500 million years ago. It sank, the seismograpns and in so doing was fractured. 1 Some of its eastern edges, far out to what is now the sea along the At lantic coast of the United States. appear to have broken off com-pletely. About 60 million years ago mud and sediments formed over the sinking surface.

Through millions of years these built up thousands of feet deep and were pressed into rock by their own weight. Outline Traced The outlines of the old continent, I as now traced, carry the backbone northward through western New England into Labrador. It apparently had a western border along the Blue Ridge mountains, but south of them curved westward, in the neighborhood of Georgia. It is not certain, but there are geological signs that this westward end reached far into Oklahoma. fTO 1 A MMnlnnkS did get aouth to Flor da, so if uTw Jda then was probably an island.

At some points, now out to sea. the rocks of Appalachia are buried from a mile to a mile and a half beneath the surface of the water. On top of them, reaching nearly to the sea's surface, lie the sediments at poured over the continent once it had sunk low, and which helped to press it further down.

GOVERNOR HERE TO VISIT SON Barrows of Maine Guest at Dinner of Tucsonans, Greeted By Mayor Faced with a cluster of giant Maine potatoes imported by air express for the occasion with each of the potatoes plumed with two long spoon-like leaves from an Arizona cactus a committee of local citizens entertained Governor Lewis O.

Barrows of Maine last night at dinner. At the end of the dinner the Yankee governor was presented with a letter of welcome signed by Mayor Jaastad written on a sheet of Arizona copper, and framed in wood from a Sahuaro cactus. Visiting: Son Making use of the holiday lull in his official business Governor Barrows has been visiting his son who is a student at the Evans school. After spending Christmas week-end with his son at the 76 ranch at Bonita, the- governor finally caught up with the official committee named to welcome him to the state. Through a mix up in schedules and information the committee missed him on his arrival last week by air, and so to show him Arizona hospitality dined him last night just before he took plane for his home.

Asked about the Passamaquoddy project of generating power by the force of the twice daily 27-foot tide of Eastport the Maine governor said that the project had been entirely abandoned after the expenditure of $7,000,000. Two of the earthen dams had disintegrated, while the housing project was rapidly falling to pieces. The city of Eastport had been taken over by the state administration on account of the collapse of the government project. The hurricane which swept New England barely reached Maine, the governor commented, but did the freakish prank of blowing down pine trees in many of the Maine forests. The other trees withstood the blow.

Governor Barrows begins a second term in January and explained that one of the features of his last campaign was that his opponent, a Democrat, belonged to the same chapter of the same fraternity, of the same college, the University of Maine. Stephen Ochoa, city councilman, designated by Governor Stanford to greet the Maine governor, was the host of last night's dinner, with Mayor Jaastad assisting. COLORADO SURVEY NEED IS OUTLINED WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. UP) At is needed in the next fiscal year for a survey of the upper Colorado river basin, Senator King (D-Utah) said today.

Senator King and other members of congress from the upper basin states expressed concern over waters of the Colorado being claimed by Mexico on the ground of prior use. This soon will be done, they said, unless the states appropriate the 7,500,000 acre feet of water allotted them under the Colorado river compact. Senator King said the $500,000 would be enough to carry on an intensified study of the upper Colorado and its tributaries and determine what reservoirs and canals would be constructed to divert wat er to lands in Utah, Wyoming, Colo rado and JNtew Mexico.
