(IP) Soviet Russia today apologized to Sweden for violation of her territory by soviet warplanes amidst mounting Swedish agitation for more active aid to Finland and for the formation of a Scandinavian "defense league." The soviet note, which followed an explosive parliamentary debate over Sweden's neutrality policy and a socialist proposal fur a northern military front, was in reply to a Swedish protest against the bombing of Kal-laks island on the Rothinian gulf Sunday. Sweden charged that nine planes participated in the bombing but Moscow acknowledged that only two soviet craft, lost in a snowstorm, flew over the island.

19. (TV-Scotland Yard's famed "sabotage squad" swarmed -into the Royal gunpowder factory at Waltham Abbey, 12 miles north of London, early today, after an authoritative source said that sabotage was suspected in yesterday's series of explosions which killed five men.

In the first raid anti-aircraft guns were heard firing for a half-hour and German planes, at least 15, were seen fiving in a southwesterly direction. Three hours later Danish mainland observers saw five bombers, believed to be British, fly over Sylt. There was a new burst of firing and five explosions which sounded like bombs. It was possible that the earlier attack was directed against Germany's North sea "Gibraltar" at Helgoland. The wind was from the southwest and could have carried the sound of gunfire 65 miles from Helgoland, making it appear closer.

This also was indicated by the fact that the 15 German planes flew toward Helgoland. Skis and Snowshoes Used by U. S. Troops WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.

Borah is constantly in attendance. Miss Rubin declared that the senator suffers no pain and is breathing regularly. She said his physician expected no immediate crisis, explaining that "by that I mean within the next two or three hours." Mrs. Borah revealed that only last Monday the senator had visited his physician and had undergone an examination. Afterward he telephoned her, she said, and was elated because his condition had shown such great improvement.

He told her the doctor said his condition was the best since he had known him. That night, friends said, the senator attended a motion picture. The next morning he arose in good spirits and called happily to Mrs. Borah before going into the bathroom. When he did not emerge she sought him and found him unconscious.

Sweden's protest was similar to one presented simultaneously Monday by Norway, which charged that red army planes fit over her territory near the Swedish-Norwegian border.

Outspoken criticism of Sweden's neutral stand by former foreign minister Richard Sandler and a socialist-sponsored suggestion for a northern "defense league." have fallen upon receptive ears among the Swedish public, which had held aloof from such a step. The opinion is growing that a Finnish defeat would mean further soviet incursion into the northern countries. 3 MEN JAILED FOR FAILURE TO PAY FINES Three Lawrence county men were taken into custody by the sheriff's office yesterday on bench warrants issued by County Judge H.

Corbin Morse, about 84. at one time a Rapid Valley cattle baron and a resident of this territory for nearly 60 years, died at I his picturesque ranch home east of Rapid City Wednesday night.

Morse had been in failing health for some time. He frequently reiterated his faith in the ability of the western South Dakota cattle raising industry to make a "comeback." And he was hopeful the buffalo grass which supported that industry when he first arrived in 1882 would once again carpet the prairies. Visitors found him ever eager to recount the days when vast ranches and ranges sprawled thru the west. Funeral services have not been set. The body is at Behren's mortuary awaiting word from relatives in the east and south.

Survivors include two sisters, Mrs. Charles H. Bayley, Newbury. and Miss R. E.
