Berlin Angry at Baruch; French Talk Military Premier.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (U. P)— President Roosevelt and his military

and naval aids planned a rearmament program today that will give the United States, through the latest type of equipment, the most mobile national defense in the world. The President and his advisers are well aware of the expense of such a program, but at present little serious opposition to it in the Congress was expected. The program, it was understood, would not add materially to the number of men in the fighting forces. Rather, emphasis will be placed upon the acquisition of large numbers of the latest types of war weapons. Chairman Sheppard (D. Tex.) of the Senate Military Affairs Committee, and House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), both expressed agreement with the President's plan. The former, whose committee must pass upon additional appropriations for the Army, _ said that “the matter of increased defenses will be given very careful study.” Rep. Rayburn expressed confidence that “Congress would be backed by the American people in bringing about an adequate program of national defense.”

Millions to Be Needed

Mr. Roosevelt made no secret of the fact that his decision to spend additional millions immediately for war equipment had been influenced by developments abroad, particularly by the temporary eclipse of Great Britain and France and the ascendancy of the more adequately armed Germany and Italy. Neither the President nor his military advisers contemplate matching the dictatorial powers in numbers of men under arms or fighting planes, confidential sources stated. They believe that the approximately 400,000 men of the regular Army and the National Guard are sufficient for the immediate defense needs, if they are properly armed. Immediate plans, according to reliable sources, call for purchase of antiaircraft guns, coast and field artillery, machine guns, semiautomatic rifles and pistols in quantities adequate to arm the men of the regular Army, the National Guard and a force estimated at 500,000. Meanwhile, it was believed that Supreme Court Justice Brandeis may have discussed with President Roosevelt last night reports that Great Britain contemplates halting emigration to Palestine. He conferred with the President at the White House for more than an hour but refused to discuss the nature of his visit. Mr. Justice Brandeis has made it 8 practice to avoid participating in public affairs during his 22 years on the bench. Prior to his appointment to the Court he was head of the Zionist movement and in recent years has kept in close, but unofficial, contact with it.

German Papers Rap

~ U. S. Rearmament Talk

BERLIN, Oct. 15 (U, P.).—German and Austrian newspapers opened a vigorous campaign against American and British armament plans today with articles which in some instances occupied from half to nearly all their first pages.

At the same time it was officially announced that the Government has requested Brazil to recall its Ambassador to Berlin, it was announced today.

The reason for the request was that it had received notification from the Brazilian Government that the return to Rio de Janeiro of Dr. Karl Ritter, German Ambassador to Brazil, was not desired. There had been reports that Dr. Ritter had alienated the Brazilian Goverhment by his intervention in defense of German organizations affected by the Government's policies curtailing activities of foreign organizations. The American attack centered on Bernard Baruch, American financier, for supporting armament plans. However, the coincidence beiween Mr. Baruch’s statement, his stay at the White House as an overnight

JURY IS CHOSEN "FOR SPY TRIAL

Government’s Case Kept Secret Though One Pleads Guilty.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15 (U. P).— Jurors chosen for the trial of three alleged members of a Nazi spy ring were released today for the weekend without even the customary instructions to refrain from discussing the case or reading about it in newspapers. So little was known of the nature of the Government's evidence,

gathered by the Justice Department and agents of U. S. District Attorney Lamar Hardy, that Judge John C. Knox said it was “not necessary to lock the jury up.” He advised them only not to be biased by any speculation they might read in newspapers. . The trial will be resumed Monday morning. When it was called yesterday, Guenther Rumrich, one of the four defendants, pleaded guilty and promised to testify for the prosecution. He had deserted from the Army in 1935 and was charged specifically with having posed as an Assistant Secretary of State in an attempt to obtain 35 passport blanks for the use of fellow spies. The three remaining defendants were Johanna Hofman, 26, former hairdresser on the German liner Europa, who allegedly served as trans-Atlantic messenger for the spy ring; private Erich: Glaser of the Army Air Corps, who allegedly stole plans of an Army plane, and Otto Voss, mechanic at the Seversky airplane factory.

guest and a White House conference at which armament prospects were mentioned, were coupled in such a way that in some foreign quarters the impression was gained that “Jewish” influences were close to President Roosevelt,

Britain Begins Holy Land Campaign

JERUSALEM, Oct. 15 (U. P.)— British troops were on the march throughout Palestine today en route

to strategic positions for a general campaign against Arab rebels. The roads out of Jerusalem were glutted with Army lorries, armored cars, radio cars, ordnance and medical lorries and marching men. British reinforcements within the past week had created the largest military force in Palestine since Gen. Edmund Allenby’s expedition during the World War. More troops were

being landed daily from Egypt, Malta and the British Isles.

Chinese Victories Take Heavy Toll of Invaders

HONGKONG, Oct. 15 (U. P.).—Advance forces of the Cantonese Army clashed today with the Japanese South China Army which is advancing on Canton. Ferocious fighting was reported at Tamshui, Pingshan and the key city of Waichow on the Swatow-Canton highway,

Early reports told of important Chinese successes and heavy Japanese losses. Canton celebrated jubilantly—but somewhat prematurely. The Japanese reformed after suffering reverses at, Tamshui and Pingshan and latest reports indicated that they were advancing slowly. : Two Japanese columns, which marched from the coast, joined at the town of Maonsang and from there stormed Waichow, five miles away. They met the main Chinese defense force of the area in the suburbs of Waichow and there. in a temperature of 100 degrees, the Chinese and Japanese fought their first important battle of the Southern campaign, amid the smoking ruins and shattered bodies which told a grim story of yesterday’s air raid.

New Troops Landed

The Japanese plan of campaign became clearer. The attack on Waichow indicated that, when and if the city were taken, they intended to make their main drive along the Swatow Highway to Canton, 80 miles to the west. But one column, skirting Haichow to the east, was advancing northward along the Tung River, ap-

parently to strike westward eventually toward the Canton-Hankow railroad. A Second column struck directly westward toward the Hong-kong-Canton railroad and was reported to have reached Sintang, 12.. miles. east of the railroad. A new force landed at the west side of the Kowloon Peninsula, at Namtow, to drive 12 miles eastward to the railroad and thus cut the line of supply. There seemed no doubt, from reports, that in early clashes south of Waichow the Chinese had stopped the Japanese for a time. It was asserted that at one point, unspecified, the Chinese ambushed a big Japanese force which was marching unsuspectingly in column formation, and killed 5000 men,

Planes Blast Path

However, the Japanese airplanes, which had no effective opposition, were blasting a path for the ground forces and it was indicated that the Japanese had been able to resume their advarce. It was understood that authorities of the American Lingnan University at Canton intended to see whether they could not reopen the school at Hongkong. Emergency laws were drafted here today, authorizing the Hongkong authorities to requistion all stores and, if necessary, to control prices in all commodities. The regulations were the result of sharply rising prices for foodstuffs since the Japanese landing.

46 DIE IN JAP TYPHOON TOKYO, Oct. 15 (U. P.).—A typhoon struck Kagoshima Prefecture on the southerly tip of Japan yesterday, causing heavy casualties, the Weather Bureau announced today. Latest estimates were 46 killed 116 missing and 157 houses destroyed.

ake New Offer to Hungary

IN THE AMERICAS—

Hitler and Duce Join in Seeking to Settle Border Dispute.

ROME, Oct. 15 (U.P.).—Czechoslovakia has agreed to make a new offer to Hungary in an effort to solve their dangerous territorial dispute, it was reported today in a

most reliable diplomatic quarter. It was asserted that the decision

to make the offer was reached at a conference at Munich between Fuehrer Hitler of Germany and Foreign Minister Frantisek Chvalkovsky of Czechoslovakia. This important change in the course of the dispute came at a time when it was believed in some well informed quarters here that Premier Mussolini would take the initiative, on Hungary’s behalf, of proposing a British-French-German-Italian conference to consider the claims of Hungary to Czechoslovak territory in which there is a substantial Hungarian minority. Count Stephen Csaky, Hungarian Foreign Office secretary, flew to Rome yesterday and had long talks with Count Galeazzo Ciano, Foreign Minister, and Premier Mussolini, He appealed to Sig. Mussolini to call for a four-power conference on the dispute. It was expected that Sig. Mussolini would do so, particularly because he strongly supports Hungary’s claims,

Hungary Mobilizes 300,000 Reserves

BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 15 (U.

P.).—The Government announced i

today that the mobilization of 300,000 Army reservists, ordered for Monday, had been made necessary by the violent treatment accorded Hungarians in Czechoslovakia. Reports from the Czechoslovak province of Ruthenia that soldiers and gendarmes, using airplanes and armored cars, had rounded up 305 Hungarian terrorists were received here with excitement. The Czechoslovak delegation at Geneva charged that a reign of terror was spreading through the provinces of Ruthenia and Slovakia, that it was being directed by Hungarian Army. leaders, and that many of the agitators had been sent into the country from a Hungarian trainihg camp for terrorists at Kisvarda. !

Five Classes Called

Hungary called five classes of Army reservists to the colors yesterday a few hours after its delegation negotiating a territorial dispute with Czechoslovakia at the border town of Komarom, announced that discussions were hopelessly deadlocked. The Hungarians withdrew and the Government began appealing to the big four powers signatory to the Munich agreement, asking them to settle the dispute as they had done the Ger-man-Czechoslovak territorial crisis. Rumors at Komaron were that Hungary, demanded almost half of Slovakia, largest Czechoslovak province, and that the Czechs had offered much less—only about onetenth. Reports that Herr Hitler had suggested that negotiations be resumed were received here with misgivings. Hungarian leaders said that would be impossible unless the Czechs were willing to go far beyond the terri-

00 i torial concessions they have so far

offered.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Oct. 15 (U. P.)—Rumania, in full accord with Jugoslavia, has “explained its viewpoint” toward Hungarian claims on Czechoslovakia at Budapest, Ber-

lin, Rome, London and Paris, it was:

learned today. Political quarters reported that the “viewpoint” expressed included an earnest warning to Hungary not to resort to military action against Czechoslovakia.

PARIS, Oct. 15 (U. P.).—A demand for a new “public safety government” headed by a military leader emerged today from the most confused French political situation in recent years. Henri de Kerillis, Nationalist editor and the only Nationalist deputy to vote against the Munich fourpower peace settlement, sponsored the proposal which appeared likely to obtain attention because of the split in regular political ranks aris-

IT COMES FROM SINGING TOWER

Muncie Woman’s Gift to School for Blind Will Be Dedicated Oct. 23.

By JOE COLLIER

For several days there have been reports that the entire Williams

Creek valley in the vicinity of 75th :

St. has been talking to itself. Voices and sometimes music have been heard coming as if from the trees, and the neighborhood, until it solved the mystery, had the distinct impression ‘it was being followed. The solution was a singing tower. It has been installed in the Indiana School for the Blind at 75th St. and College Ave., and workmen who installed it have had to talk and play music over its loudspeaker in tests. The music settles like dew over an area three miles in all directions from the tower, and concerts of chimes and harp and voice soon will be regular treats for all who live there or go there especially to hear them. The singing tower is the gift of Mrs. C. M. Kitselman, Muncie, in memory of her husband. Dedication ceremonies will be at 2:30 p. m. Oct. 23 at the school grounds. Mrs. Kitselman, Governor Townsend and several other public figures will participate. Particularly delighted with the new instrument are the 150 or so blind children who, deprived of their sight, have an above-normal appreciation of music, according to school officials. Instructors at the school say that during the tests, when two selections of the chimes and harp were played over and over again for the reason that they were the only selections available, the children have

Scram, Boys! That Dinner Bell Is ‘Hot’

Mrs. Earl Smock, 5404 Canal Blvd.,, today asked police to attend all Butler, University home-coming celebrations this week-end in an” effort to find an old-fashioned dinner bell. She said it was taken from her garden early today by two carloads of persons who “looked a good deal like college students.” Mrs. Smock said she believed the bell may be used in some of the celebrations. She said she can identify it.

It will consist of many selections for the chimes and harp alone, and will include a large number of records of the most famous voices and orchestras ever recorded. Mr. Lambert says the school possibly will sponsor vesper services next summer and persons may drive out to the grounds or park their cars anywhere within a radius of

three miles from the tower and hear

perfectly, not only music but words. The instrument also can be made to broadcast concerts in the school auditorium for the pupils only, without sending from the tower itself. This, Mr. Lambert said, great! increases its value to the school. The installation is particularly well timed because for many months a A project, under the direction of James H.

the Chrysler Corp., resulted in a strike last week at the Plymouth

“| plant which now has been settled

in a way that will give jobs to perhaps 8000 more workers in Chrysler plants béginning next week. It left still unsettled, however, the 32‘hour week issue as presented in a controversy over a section of the. Chrysler contract with the U. A. W. It was after this strike began that Mr. Ford talked with Mr. Martin, whom he thus met for the first time. The conference created a virtual sensation in Detroit, and the immediate reaction was the question: : “Is Ford going to sign a union contract?” : This has been the question ever since the U. A, W. signed contracts mobile Big Three, Chrysler and General Motors, ' A contract, however, it is learned, is not involved in the present discussions, though union officials still are hopeful that eventually they will break into the stronghold of the biggest nonunion industrial operator still left in the country. Because the union has no contract with the Ford plant, some union sources scouted the theory that Mr. Martin would be discussing a 32-hour week with Mr. Ford and Mr. Bennett. Two reasons are advanced, however, why they should enter such a discussion. * Henry Ford long has been a pioneer in industrial innovations, beginning years ago with the minimum five-dollar-a-day wage. Recently he has been subjected to much criticism, in union circles and beyond them, for his labor policies. His business, it is reported, has suffered to some extent. Nor did his recent decoration by the German Government help him any with many people. A beneficent gesture at this time— though short of union recognition— would be helpful and typical, it is suggested. Likewise it would be helpful to have it come from a conference with the automobile union head, even though there is nothing official about this approach.

Smaller Firms Watch

On Mr. Martin’s part, it is pointed out that establishment of the 32hour week by the Ford company would create pressure against Chrysler and General Motors to follow suit. Likewise it might strengthen Mr. Martin’s position with the public. He lost out recently in his attempt to oust some of his board members, when he was overruled by John L. Lewis. The meeting between Mr. Ford and Mr. Martin was first dismissed as casual and unscheduled. It has been learned since that the whole affair was carefully arranged and that Mr. Ford continued in conference with Mr. Martin for half an hour. Other smaller companies are reported ready to go on a 32-hour week if Ford, General Motors and Chrysler do.

It followed by less than two weeks Mr. Roosevelt's personal appeal to the A. F. of L. convention in Houston, Tex., and by only a few days an address to the same cone vention by Wage-Hour Adminise trator Elmer F. Andrews. Both urged a prompt settlement of the split. Reminding that labor accord is of interest to wage earners, management and the general public, Miss Perkins said: “Co-operation within the now die vided movement is needed if labor is to achieve its proper place of responsibility in the United States. I have said before, dissension and division inevitably lead to loss of influence and prestige of all those involved, particularly in mate ters where the public interest may be concerned.”

Praises Both Sides

She said that she had “great faith in the capacity” of those on both sides to make “a fair and workable adjustment.” “I suggest the application of a method frequently used in disputes between employers and their workers and also used in proceedings for mediation between conflicting ecoe nomic interests in business or cone flicting family claims,” she cone tinued. “It’s a familiar human way of reaching agreements. : “Let each side in the A. PF. of L. and the C. I. O. appoint five trusted and experienced representatives to 8 mediation committee and give them authority to bind their ree spective organizations in any agreement they may reach. Let these 10 meet and agree upon three addie tional members chosen outside either of the two groups in cone flict. Let them be disinterested pere’ sons, well informed about labor matters and sympathetic to labor organization. Let them be persons of conciliatory, dispassionate dis position, if possible with some exe perience in the rt of mediation, Let this committee under the chairmanship of one of the disine terested members proceed .to find a settlement. “The advantage of this form is that the moral and intellectual capacity of both groups is brought into play and the real adjustment is made by them. That always gives permanence and strength. The public or outside members will serve principally to keep alive the spirit of mediation and conciliation, to solve minor and immediate points of conflict between the partisan members and to suggest new and varied solutions for old problems, They also will serve to represent the public interest in the effective Siu ement of this quarrel in labor's ouse.’

Dubinsky for Plan Ryan Against It
