" German Press Fury Over ‘Interference’ Mounting.
(Continued from Page One)
for the United States from Le Havre tomorrow. : At no time since the current antisemitic drive began had the Nazi . -Press reached such a pitch of anger. “Woe to the Jews if another helper is paid or incited by them and raises his murderous hand against a German,” fuhr-Blatt said.
“Not one will an-
swer for a murdered or wounded.
German, but all.” Combined with angry denunciations, the press undertook to prove that Jews were. wanted nowhere. Readers also were given a Government estimate of German Jewish wealth. Walther Punk, minister of eco- ' nomics, - announced that $800,000,000 in Jewish holdings already had been seized by the Government. This represented nearly one-third of all the Jewish wealth in Germany, and is more than twice the collective fine levied on Jews as a whole. But Herr Funk announced a plan whereby Jews were to be compensated with German bonds and so the seizure was not outright confiscation. “The Jews will receive German bonds as indemnity while the Germans will regain their property,” Herr Funk said. “All necessary measures will be taken to maintain the value of the stocks and merchandise which will be placed at the disposition of the population in a useful and reasonable fashion.”
Wealth Registered °
He said it was impossible “to exclude Jews from the nation’s political life and still allow them to continue activities in economic life. The measures taken thus far will permit complete exclusion of Jews from the business world.” The Government survey, :compiled under a decree of last April requiring ‘Jews possessing more than $2000 to register their wealth, showed 35,802 in that category in Berlin. Of this number 1439 out of Berlin’s approximate 150,000 Jews have total holdings of $321,441,540. From these was expected to come the major part of the fines assessed by the Government. Endless streams of Jewish women trying to carry on for their vanished husbands in the fight for visas, flowed through the United States consulate today. From a responsible source it was learned that German police authorities informed the American consulate yesterday that certain restrictions had been relaxed for persons under arrest.
Rumors Fly
In cases were “immigration facilities for arrested persons are assured releases would be ordered,” the consulate was informed. This . referred to Jews arrested since the mass arrests last Thursday. This was taken to apply to those whose visa application and papers were in order and who could be counted upon to leave Germany within a short time. The consulate’s attention had been called to persons who had applied for visas and had been arrested’ and in some cases sent to concentration camps. “ Many of the wives and daughters of men invited to!the consulate for final examination and medical inspection had to report that the whereabouts of fathers and husbands was unknown. Through the frantic crowd went rumor after rumor: That the United States would accept all refugees or that the United States would take immediately. the children of those arrested.
Reich Threatens Firing Squad ;
VIENNA, Nov. 16 (U. P.) —Firing squads will be the answer to any renewal of anti-Semitic rioting and further damage of property, Joseph Buerckel, Reich Commissar to Austria, told factory workers at Steyr today. “The Fuehrer has empowered me - to declare: ‘Whoever in the future smashes, destroys or plunders another’s property will have to reckon with being placed against a wall. In the future there will be no Jew property.”

GREAT BRITAIN AND ITALY MAKE FORMAL PEACE
Carol Makes Bid for Loan in London; Frown on Colo nial Pleas.
ROME, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—Great Britain and Italy, who almost went to war over Ethiopia three years ago, made “peace” today. Relations, strained by Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia and participation in the Spanish civil war, returned to normal with two formal ceremonies
at Chigi Palace at 4:05 a. m. (Indianapolis Time). The first was Britain’s recognition of Ethiopia as part of the Italian empire and the second put into effect the longdelayed = British-Italian mutual agreement. ~The agreement comprised a complicated series of declarations, protocols. and exchanges of letters. Briefly, it provides: 1. An Italian pledge to withdraw
from Spain and terminate the war. 2. An Italian pledge to seek no territorial, political or economic privileges in Spain, the Balearic Islands or Spanish colonies. 3. British recognition of Ethiopia. 4. A 55 per cent reduction of the Libyan garrisons by Italy. 5. Italian adherence to the London Naval Treaty of 1936. . 6. Joint ‘reaffairmation of the status quo in the western Mediterranean. 7. An exchange of military information. 8. Recognition of Britain's special interests in Saudi Arabia and Italy’s particular interest in Yemen. 9. Cessation of propaganda against each other. 10. An Italian pledge to respect the British water rights -of Lake Tana in Ethiopia. 11. An Italian pledge not to conscript native soldiers in East Africa. 12. An Italian guarantee for the free exercise of religion in East Africa. 13. Free use of the Suez Canal in times of peace or war. 14. A “good neighbor” agreement among Egypt, Britain and Italy.
Carol Makes Bid:
For British Loan LONDON, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—King Carol of Rumania, speaking at a Lord Mayor’s luncheon in the Guild Hall today, urged British assitance in Rumania’s economic development. It was one of the most unconventional speeches ever heard from a reigning monarch in London. Carol cut through the usual diplomatic niceties and made what was interpreted as a broad hint that Rumania is anxious for a loan or credit from Britain. “I attach such importance to development of economic relations,” he said, “that I do not consider
‘there could be more useful and re-
liable ambassadors of peace between nations than business men.” During the luncheon Crown Prince Michael drank lemonade but Carol went through the wine list of punch, sherry, hock, champagne, brandy and port. Michael sat next
berlain and was engrossed in conversation with him all through the meal. ’
No Intention of Giving Up Colonies LONDON, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—Great Britain has assured Tanganyika that she has no intention of surrendering any of her . colonies to Germany, Malcolm MacDonald, dominions and colonial secretary, in-

the United States, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands and Brazil, composing the directorate of the intergovernmental committee on refugees. No date for the meeting has been set. Meanwhile, President Roosevelt's condemnation of Nazi terrorism gave new life to diplomatic efforts to find a new “promised land” for 600,000 persecuted German Jews. Jewish circles hoped that the lagging negotiations, initiated by American Abassador Joseph Kennedy and the appeal of the Netherlands, would attain a faster pace despite the reluctance of Great Britain. The Cabinet met for two hours today and discussed the Jewish problem, American sources denied British reports that Ambassador Kennedy would return to Washington at the same time as Ambassador Wilson from Berlin to discuss the Jewish situation.
Important Speech By Hitler Forecast =
DUSSELDORF, Germany, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—Fuehrer Adolf Hitler is expected to deliver an important speech tomorrow morning at the hjer
of Ernst Vom Rath,” German diplomat who was slain by a Jewish youth in Paris and whose body lay in state today in the huge Rhinehalle of Dusseldorf. Thousands of persons filed past the catafalque on which the latest “martyr’s” body lay after being carried through the streets of the city on a military gun carriage draped with a swastika flag and topped by Vom Rath’s Nazi cap.
U. S. Trade With
Germany Hits Low
WASHINGTON, Nov.-16-(U. P.) .— Commerce Department statistics revealed today that United States
purchases from Germany have dropped to one of the lowest points in the history of German-American trade relations. Imports from Germany during the nine months ending in September totaled approximately 44 million dollars, or about 25 million dollars less than during the same period of 1937.

Guard N. Y. Nazi Consul; Plan F ive-Power Parley
Civic, Religious and Patriotic Groups Join Protest.
~NEW YORK, Nov. 16 (U. P.)— Police guarded the German con-
sulate, home of the German consul,
and German ships today at the re-
quest of the State Department, while demonstrations and protests continued against Germany's antisemitic campaign.
A crowd of 5000 anti-Nazis picketed the docks when the North German Lloyd liner Bremen sailed early today. More than 200 policemen kept them under control. Detectives, harbor and dock police guarded the Hamburg-American liner New York docked nearby. Police Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine assigned four policemen to the German consulate and one to the home of Consul General Hans Borchers. Commissioner Valentine said he had taken the precautions even before the State Department requested them. : Scores - of civic, religious and patriotic organizations joined in protests. Many urged President Roosevelt to make strong protests to Germany. There were radio symposiums, mass meetings and demonstrations.’ Prof. Clyde R. Miller of Columbia University, secretary of the Institute for Propaganda Analysis, ‘told a mass meeting at the White Plains, N. Y, high school lat night that the Nazi propaganda mad¢hine was trying to stir ‘up religious and racial prejudices in tHe United States.
» Scores Decorations
He charged that the decorations of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and Henry Ford: by the Nazi Government were arranged by “astute Nazi propagandists who figured that they might transfer to the Nazi regime the respect millions of Americans have for ‘Lindbergh and Ford.” He said» Lindbergh and Ford should “serve humanity” by returning the decorations. £1 Dorothy ' Thompson, newspaper columnist, announced that as a result of a radio speech she made Monday night defending Herschel Grynszpan, the young Polish Jew who assassinated the German Embassy secretary in Paris, she had been deluged with 3000 telegrams and thousands of letters, with contributions. She said she had formed the Journalists Defense Fund, with Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, Heywood Broun, Leland Stowe, Raymond Grant Swing, William Allen White, Hamilton Fish Armstrong and John Gunther, to handle the contributions and use them to get Grynszpan “the best lawyer in France.” The Catholic University of America will sponsor a radio program’ of protest over the Columbia Broadcasting System at 8 (Indianapolis Time) tonight. The National Council of Women of the United States released texts of statements by prominent women, calling the persecutions Meening, ” “appalling” and “hideous.”

basic equipment for a field army of a million men and they want it quick—within eight months, some of them insist. Back of it all are hope and belief that a continental partnership would be too imposing for any aggressor to dare adventure in the new world. But battleships are rising from their cradles in the shipyards and more are to be ‘built. “Educational orders” shortly will be accustoming more peace-time manufacturers to the requirements of Army material. New antiaircraft defense is in the making; a new automatic rifle for infantrymen has been devised. The 20th anniversary of the Armistice finds the nation arming as in 1916—one year before we entered the World War. Powerful minority voices may be raised in Congress to extend “continental defense” even further. One influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee’ member told the United Press that Mr. Roosevelt -| should ‘emphatically reaffirm the unilateral Monroe Doctrine in all its particulars but without presuming any United States right or obligation to interefere in internal affairs of any sister republic. vs
Safety Is U. S. Goal
It was argued that the Latin American nations might, but probably would not, be offended but that, in any event, the safety of the United States required such a policy. - The committee member said fur-
| her that the Monroe Doctrine might
even be expdnded to forbid not only foreign acquisition of territory but the ideological penetration of the 21 American republics, a sort of sanitary cordon or deadline across which Fascist ideas would nof be permitted to cross.
And it was suggested that the United States undertake a reaffirmation of such a Monroe Doctrine policy on its own rather than in the partnership Mr. Roosevelt has suggested. This committee member, however, probably would be in a minority on such a proposition.
Significantly — tomorrow — the United States will sign {rade
‘| agreements with Canada and Great
Britain. There will be ceremony and speeches so that the world will not fail to mark the economic—possible political—importance of the signing. Shortly, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth will be Mr. Roosevelt’s guests. All of that may be coincidental. But some persons feel that it ties in with the parallel course of action now frequent between London and Washington.
No ‘Doubling’ of Navy.
Scarcely remarked at yesterday’s White House press conference was Mr. Roosevelt’s prompt “No,” in reply to a question whether national defense plans contemplated a United States Navy capable of defending both Pacific and Atlantic coasts simultaneously. The currently projected Navy is said by experts to be too small for that double task.
Notable, therefore, is the consist-
fleet in Pacific waters although a small detail is assigned to the East Coast. Battle station for the British grand fleet is in North Sea waters.
Precise significance of these various factors in development of American foreign policy are not known and probably must depend, largely, upon future events. So far Mr. Rosevelt is committed: 1. To prepare the United States for possible trouble. ‘2. To co-operate with Canada, Central and South America in a new policy of “continental defense” of the Western Hemisphere against foreign aggression. Other Factors Tie in | Trade treaties, royal visits and the Lima conference seem to tie in variously with those general ob-. jectives. The Lima conference is directly associated with the latter. Pressing domestic problems have arisen at home. Shifts in the New Deal high command are in progress. Attorney General Cummings will leave the cabinet in January to resume practice of law. Solicitor General Jackson is expected to succeed him. James Roosevelt has resigned from the White House secretariat, possibly to return in the spring if his health will permit. Works Progress Administrator Hopkins may move from his big relief job to another spot. Postmaster General James A. Farley was ready to go last year but stayed on when depression foreclosed a private business connec-. tion. Such personnel problems, an imminent new session of Congress and
‘Ithe working out of national de-
fense armament details will keep Mr. Roosevelt busy in the next six weeks. Mr. Hopkins has sat in on recent major national defense conferences. That might mean anything from
spectacular plan for a national preparedness co-ordinator, in which event Mr. Hopkins, with his proven administrative ability, would be a likely candidate for the job. Explains Summons World events and scientific advancement, particularly development of the airplane, in the waging of war, made the new “cortinenial defense” policy necessary, Mr. Roosevelt said. That those adverse world events included developments in Germany was evident from the President’s explanation of the summons to United States Ambassador Hugh Wilson to return from Germany for consultation, He was asked if Mr. Wilson had
.| been “recalled” and replied that 48 | technically speaking the answer was
“No,” but it seemed to Mr. Roosevelt’s listeners that he might have in mind leaving the U. S. ambassador’s chair in Berlin vacant for some time to come in unremitting, silent protest against Nazi racial and religious persecution. | Nor did the President attempt to depreciate likelihood of further American protests. The situation as of yesterday afternoon merely was that as yet no protest had gone to Berlin against anti-Jewish activities

used to pay welfare costs” he contended. Federal legislation which would divert approximately 20 per cent of TU. S. tobacco tax funds to the State was advocated as a new source of revenue to ease the load on property by Mr. Schenck. He declared the State could raise approximately two or three million dollars from such a tax.
‘We Have Reached Limit’
“We must seek to take the tax load off of property in Indiana because we have reached the limit property can- stand,” Mr. Schenck declared. Mr. Schenck said the Bureau also would go on record as demanding that all tax funds raised from motor vehicle and gas taxes be used solely for cost of building, maintaining and policing the State's highways and bridges. He said that under the present setup more than one and a half million dollars of the moter gas taxes goes into the State General Fund. ; The Shelby County Farm Bureau band played and there was group singing and special choral singing by the Parke County Harvest Home Chorus.
County Leaders to Speak
The afternoon session was to be featured by a series of speeches by County agricultural leaders. Edward D. Stevens, of Elkhart County, will be the chairman. A review of Indiana’s Rural Youth’s Clubs was to be given by Donald Turnquist, Lake County; Odetta Blake, Jasper County; Miretha Culy, Wayne County, and James Armstrong, Gibson County. The afternoon session was to be highlighted with a talk by I. H. Hull, general manager of the Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Association, who will give a ‘“Message to Youth.” During the evening session, standard township and county agent awards will be made. H. Roe Bartle, Kansas City, will speak. W. C. Cleveland of Indiana University will speak on “Money” tomorrow morning. The remainder of the morning session will be devoted to a discussion of the 1939 legislative program. Edward O’Neal, American Farm Bureau Federation president, will discuss the Bureau's national legislative program. Committee reports are scheduled for Friday morning.
U, S.-ENGLAND TREATY READY
Signing to Take Place in Washington at 4 P. M. Tomorrow.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P.). —The State Department announced today that the long-awaited AngloAmerican reciprocal trade agreement will be signed in the East Room of the White House at 3 p. m. tomorrow (Indianapolis Time). The Anglo-American treaty includes reciprocal trade arrangements with the Dominion of Can-
It was announced that further details of the agreement will be released after the treaty is signed. Secretary of State Hull will sign the treaty in behalf of this country.
South American’
Nations Cautious
BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—South American nations greeted President Roosevelt’s call for a common defense front in the Westtrn- Hemisphere with a friendly but cautious interest today. Smaller nations were expected to warmly approve his proposal but the larger powers qualified their friendly reception. ° An attitude of restraint was evidenced in the desire of many officials for “further time to study” the suggestion and a flat stand by the Argentine Republic against any formal defense treaty.
Imredy Submits New Cabinet List
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 16 (U. P.).—Premier Bela Imredy submitted a new cabinet list to Regent Nicholas de Horthy: today. He had formed it to succeed his cabinet which resigned yesterday because of a dispute over Mr. Im-
to deal with land reforms. -
LINDBERGH PLANS
BERLIN, Nov. 16 (U\ P.).—Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, it was learned today, plans to return to Berlin late this month to get the airplane which he left behind on “his recent visit because of bad flying weather. A rumor that Col. Lindbergh inquired while in Berlin about a house for the winter has been current for some time but well-informed persons were skeptical ot its veracity.
“has deeply shocked public opinion in the United States. Such news from any part of the world would inevitably produce a similar profound reaction among American people in every part of the nation. “I myself could scarcely believe that such things could occur in al 20th Century civilization. “With a view to gaining a firsthand picture of the situation in Germany I asked the Secretary of State to order our ambassador in Berlin to return at once for report and consultation.” If Ambassador Wilson had been “recalled,” German Ambassador Hans Dieckhoff probably would be packing his bags today and it is possible, even now, that the German government might interpret the order to Mr. Wilson as tanta-

By NOBLE REED 1 Despite a Democratic victory at the polls in Marion County: lask week, the personnel complexion at the Court House is due for 8 shakeup after Jan. 1, newly elected officials indicated today. An entire new lineup of employees is expected in Juvenile: Court departments, the Sheriff’s office, Criminal Court and Superior Courts %
3 and 4. A few | new faces also are expetied in the |Prosecutor’s office, where more than 30 appointments are to be made by David Lewis, newly elected Prosecutor. Charles Ettinger, newly elected County Clerk, indicated that the personnel in that ‘gee may not be. “changed much.” He is the present chief deputy Clerk. .
Two Take Office in 1940 No changes are expected in the Treasurer's office or Auditor's office during 1939. Mayor Boetcher, Treasurer-elect, and Glenn B, Ralston, “ Auditor-elect and retiring County Clerk, do not take their new offices until Jan. 1, 1940. Although none of the newly elected officials has discussed forthe coming appointments publicly due to threats of vote recounts, all of them have been interviewing pros= pective appointees daily. Municipal Judge Wilfred Brade shaw, elected to the Juvenile Court bench, has 22 appointments to make in his departments. “Probation officers will be aps pointed on their merits in the work and not on.a basis of how many votes they get out in the election,” he said. Judge Bradshaw said he was exe periencing difficulty in getting qualified men and women for the jobs at the rate of pay permitted by law.
Feeney to Replace Most He said a good lawyer is necess sary for the court referee post which carries a salary of $2700 annually, : “That’s too small to offer a good lawyer and the same is true of the chief probation officers,” he said.

Goett in Room 4 all have reporters and bailiffs to appoint. The Superior Court judges have one bailiff and one court reporter each.
