Instructions to the leaders and orators on how to handle the Jewish issue before German audiences, with particular reference to reaction in the United States, Great Britain and other nations. Although it was understood Government leaders were angered by the British House of Commons debate on proposals for settlement of Jewish refugees in prewar German cblonies, well-informed sources discounted reports. that the Reich would recall Herbert von Driksen, Ambassador to London.
Open New Offices
Restrictions against Jews in Germany continued to mount, includ-

ing: 1. Indications that Jews would be completely excluded from insurance protection in the future as fore‘shadowed by an article in Der Angriff asking “How much longer will insurance protection be allowed the Jews?” 2. Establishment of three new headquarters with 20 departments within the Nazi racial-political office to deal with the Jewish question. 3. Orders to all Jewish physicians to post the six-pointed yellow Star of David, symbol of the medieval ghettos, on their office doors. 4. Construction of new prisons of the concentration camp type, apparently for Jews alone, 5. Disclosure in the Nazi press that the anti-Semitic Nuremberg laws would soon be introduced in ‘Slovakia, which has come under close Nazi dominance since the dis= memberment of Czechoslovakia. ~
Few Jewish Shops Reopen Although a few Jewish stores were quietly allowed to reopen in Germany, announcement that cheap credits would be granted Aryans to purchase Jewish shops was followed today by announcement that transfer of these shops to Aryan hands . was proceeding rapidly. ~ Prime Minister Chamberlain’s ‘statement proposing partial solution of the Jewish refugee problem by settlement of Jews in Tanganyika brought instant opposition. “Strange it is that again Tanganvika, in former German East Africa, was mentioned as a place for the ‘settlement of Jews as though there were no other possibilities in the whole far flung British Empire, ” the newspaper Tageblatt said. “One asks why Chamberlain made only a passing remark regarding British Kenya and remained completely silent regarding Uganda. ! “The British Government has the right to freely dispose of the two last named territories but it is wellknown ‘that it is the opposite in the case of the mandated territory of Tanganyika.” The Voelkischer Beobachter said that Britain was “finally ready to open parts of the British Empire to ‘Jews and it must be generally wel‘comed. However, Chamberlain .added, too many ifs and whens.”
Fascist Press
Attacks Roosevelt
ROME, Nov. 22 (U. P.).—The Fascist press attacked the democracies today. President Roosevelt was the principal target. Giornale d'Italia and La Tribuna, in long editorials, sought to convince Romans that: 1. Wealthy democratic nations detest Jews as much as do Italy and Germany. 2. The United States is determined to rule Central and South America, spiritually and economically. “Monroe principles are a pretext,” Ly Tribuna said. “As is known, the President is of Jewish origin and thus it is comprehensible why he has it in for Germany and for her friends.” Giornale d’Italia said the de-

CANADIAN-U. . DEFENSE PLAN RUMOR DENIED
Newspaper in Montreal Charges Sharing Scheme; Army Men Discount Tale.
MONTREAL, Nov. 22 (U. P.).— The Gozette’s Ottawa correspondent said in a special dispatch today that Canada was being drawn into the United States defense orbit. The dispatch said a picture of the Dominion’s share of defense responsibility was believed to have been presented to Prime Minister MacKendie King during his latest visit to Washington on the occasion of the signing of the Anglo-Amer-ican-Canadian trade agreements. “Military experts in the American capital have gone so far in their study of means whereby the dictator menace to North and South America, can.be checked, as to actually allocate the shares of responsibility and the main contributions that might be expected from the constituent units of the Western Hemisphere,” it added.
OTTAWA, Ontario, Nov. 22 (U. P.) —Military authorities today discounted suggestions that Canada was being drawn into the American defense orbit.
Businessmen Urge World Settlement
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (U. P.).— The International Chamber of Commerce appealed to all governments today to formulate a policy of friendship in the economic field in an effort to promote world peace. The proposal was made by Thomas J. Watson, New York, president of the international chamber, in a letter to the governments of all member countries. It was based on a resolution recently adopted by the 58th session of the chamber’s council in Paris. Expressing “profound gratitude” to leaders “whose prompt action in the recent political crisis was successful in averting war,” Mr. Watson said that many were wondering what the next step would be. : “In adopting the resolution,” he said, “our council believed that an opportunity now exists of taking a definite step toward building up a policy or friendly collaboration in the economic field. We feel, moreover, that lasting political appeasement and a settlement of the ouistanding economic issues are necessarily interdependent.”
Japanese Threat
To America Seen
SHANGHAI, Nov. 22 (U. P.).— American organizations here charged today that Japan plans new aggression after it conquers China. The American Relations Committee, representing the American Chamber of Commerce, the Shanghai American Association and 10 American missions, said in a statement that the Japanese reply to Secretary of State Hull's demand for retention of the Open Door policy in China “leaves no doubt in the minds of Americans in the Far
East regarding the real intentions and objectives * of Japanese imperialism. . ,. “Once China's resources have Leen harnessed by the Japanese economic and war machine, the menace to America will be apparent, but then it may be too late for the use of peaceful means.”
mocracies were strongly protesting against the German and Italian stand against Jews but “refuse to open their doors and allow the Jews to repopulate their sparsely inhabited territories.” Frank Smothers, Rome correspondent of the Chicago Daily News, was ordered today to leave Italy before the end of the month because of the
Chamberlain Plan to Use Toapape as Haven Is Protested.
| LONDON, Nov. 22 (U. P.).—Germany may recall Herbert von Dirksen, her Ambassador to Great Britain, it was reported today, as a vehement display of disapproval of an American-initiated and Britishsponsored plan to aid .Jewish refugees. The program outlined by Prime Minister Chamberlain in the House of Commons brought bitter condemnation from - the Nazi press, which apparently had been officially inspired, and led to reports that Herr von Dirkson would be summoned home, . Mr. Chamberlain’s proposal to find homes for a number of German Jewish refugees in Tangan, ika, former German colony in Africa, was interpreted by Germans. as a rebuff to Germany’s colonial demands, in which Tanganyika had figured prominently.
Embassy Denies Report It was understood also that Germany had been enraged by Mr. Chamberlain's blunt intimation that Germany should contribute ‘to the solution of the Jewish question
by relaxing confiscatory decrees to permit Jews to emigrate with property and possessions. The action of the House of Commons, supported by the Government, in adopting a resolution “deploring” the treatment of Jews in Germany added to the reaction, it was said. The British press carried the report of Herr Von Dirksen’s “imminent” summons to Berlin in headlines. A spokesman for the German Embassy denied the report, however, saying “there is nothing to it.” Fuehrer Hitler received a minute-by-minute report of the debate in Commons at his retreat in Berchtesgaden, it was reported, and it was understood that a final decision was to be taken today after high German officials had made a detailed study of the debate and of Mr. Chamberlain’s statement. Herr Von Dirksen’s recall, if it occurs, would be described as for the purpose of reporting to authorities, similar to the reason given for recall of "Hans Heinrich Dieckhoff from Washington and the recall of American Ambassador Hugh Wilson from Berlin. It was considered unlikely, in view of the outburst of the Nazi press, that Mr. Chamberlain would obtain German co-operation for his plan, even if Herr Von Dirksen was not recalled.
~
“unfriendly tone” of his dispatches.
The Prime Minister had held out hopes that some 6,500,000 acres of land could be made available for the settlement of Jews, provided private contributions of more than 100 million dollars were made. He laid particular stress on hot, equatorial Tanganyika, where possibly 50,000 acres could be set aside. In addition he foresaw the possibility of nearly 10,000 square miles in British Guiana for refugee settlement.
PARIS, Nov. 22 (U. P.).—Plans of British Prime Minister Chamberlain and Premier Daladier of France to discuss broadening of the Munich four-power agreement this week have been abandoned because of Germany's anti-Semitic campaign, it was understood today.
The Nazi campaign already has]
delayed publication of French-Ger-man declarations to outlaw war. Hence Mr. Chamberlain and M., Daladier will devote most of their conversations. to Mediterranean policy, progress of the co-ordinated British-French defense plan and the positions of Britain and France in the Spanish civil war. Mr. Chamberlain and his entourage will arrive tomorrow. A general strike of all 3600 workers in the factories of Lille was called today to protest increased working hours authorized by the Government.

HUNGARY DRIVES ALL CZECHS OUT OF CEDED ZONE
Slovakia Counters With Order Confiscating Magyar Goods.
PRAHA, Nov. 22 (U. PJ). Hungary ordered the expulsion of Czechoslovaks today from the territory she occupied after the dismeinberment of Czechoslovakia. The Slovak Government retorted by ordering confiscation of Hungarian property within its borders. The Czechoslovaks to be expelled are those who settled since 1918 in the territory now regained by Hungary. The two moves added to the strain on relations between the two countries caused by charges here that Budapest has fomented ierrorism in Ruthenia.
Nazis and Hungary Wage Word War
VIENNA, Nov. 22 (U. P.).—A war of words between Germany and Hungary filled the air waves today emphasizing a tense situation over the autonomous Czechoslovak province of Ruthenia, where armed clashes threaten an international incident. The radio statements from Germany were much the same as those used to prepare the atmosphere for Germany's annexation of Sudetenland. While accurate reports from the scene of the “disturbances” in Ruthenia were difficult to obtain, the press in Budapest published details of alleged “terrorism” there. Dispatches claimed that terrorists were blowing up bridges and obstructing roads. They said that the sound of artillery fire could be heard every night from the neighborhood of Chust, capital of Rutheénia,. Hungarians: established camps for Ruthenian refugees at Ungvar and Munkacs, the reports said.
Publish Purported Pleas
,' The Hungarian newspapers published the text of telegrams allegedly sent by the population of Ruthenian villages to Fuehrer Hitler and Premier Mussolini asking their aid in obtaining union with Hungary. Villages asking union were said to total 135. The entire press was urging immediate action. Informed quarters said Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, will visit Rome over the week-end to discuss the Ruthenian question with Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister. Sig. Ciano is planning to go to Warsaw to discuss with the Poles their attitude toward the question,
Italian Withdrawals Worn Out, Say Loyalists
HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, Nov. 22 (U. P.).—Germany and Italy were sending troops, planes, guns and ammunition into Rebel Spain while Italy was withdrawing 10,000 “worn-out volunteers,” the Loyalist Government charged today. Germany, a high Defense Ministry officer said, sent the Rebels 74 chasers and bombers, more than 1000 tons of war material, 12,000 rifles and ‘46 cannon between Sept. 15 and Oct,. 15. Italy reportedly sent 49 chasers and bombers, 1000 tons of equipment, 300 aviators and 5000 troops during the same period

That the popularity of Adolf Hitler's Germany has dropped to half what it was in 1937, and that the dictatorships in general have far fewer friends in this country than the democracies. 3. That American sympathy for the small neutral States of Northern Europe is growing. These countries include Switzerland, Finland (the one country who is paying her war debts), Sweden, Ireland and the Netherlands. In a recent parallel study by the British Institute of Public Opinion, overseas affiliate of the American

and Germany third with 15 per cent. Britain Gets 48 Per Cent
The Institute asked a carefully selected cross-section ' of American voters in all parts of the United States: “Which European chuniry do you like best?” The returns indicate that Great
Britain is especially popular in the South and in New England, less
Far West. Throughout the country as 8a whole, Great Britain is singled out as “best-liked” by 48 per cent of the voters, or almost one in every two. A year and a half ago, in a survey using the identical question, 55 per cent of the voters named Britain.
Munich Pact Hurts
One reason why Britain Is not quite as popular as formerly is undoubtedly because of the Munich agreement. A majority of Americans in a recent Institute survey say they believe the agreement made with Hitler has resulted in a greater possibility of war. This decline in Britain popularity is particularly interesting in view of the “good-will visit” which King George VI and Queen Elizabeth are expected to pay this country next spring. Institute surveys will show what effect the King and Queen's visit has on their country’s popularity with rank and file Americans.
Dictatorships Unpopular
The vote for Germany and Italy, leading powers: of Europe’s Fascist axis, reaches only 7 per cent of the total.

the validity of the “mental vagrancy” charge and contended no felony nor misdemeanor had been charged against the women. Paul Rochford, attorney for Sheriff Ray as defendant in the hearings, agreed that there is no such charge as “mental vagrancy,” but insisted that some means had to be used to keep suspected mentally deficient persons off the © streets until they are committed to hospitals. “If the courts want to assume the’ responsibility of -turning these people loose, it is quite all right with us,” Mr. Rochford said.
Judge Scores Practice
Judge Williams scored the police practice of holding prisoners “for long periods without placing of legal charges against them.” “Failing to provide speedy justice

Officials permitted Mr. List to go to Cuba, where he will be able to apply for return to this country. His American wife and 3-year-old child live in Rochester, N. Y. Mr. List came here in 1921, remaining until 1937, when he went to Spain to join the Royalists. Having no passport, he stowed away aboard a vessel in France and was taken into custody upon arriving in| America.

Mayor Boetcher, who accepted the grant, said the survey would start within a few weeks. It is to be directed by the City Planning Board. “Indianapolis needs such a project,” Mayor Boetcher said. “We are keenly interested in safety and feel this project will do much toward saving lives.”
Five-Point Plan Listed
The projected survey, said to be the most thorough the City ever has contemplated, would include: 1. A traffic count to determine rate of traffic flow at intersections throughout the city, to be handled by WPA labor. > 2. Removal of “dangerous corners” at intersections where police records show traffic mortalities. 3. Widening certain thoroughfares. 4. Placing of safety islands at wide intersections. 5. Probable rerouting of traffic through downtown streets for greater velocity of flow and ease of traffic movement. Mr. Kortepeter said the work would be done by WPA labor in accordance with plans to be drawn up by a City traffic engineering department which would have to be created.
Morrissey Pledges Aid
In addition, he said, the City would have to provide some agency, either the Planning Commission or the Works Board, to carry on the work of making the streets safer after the survey is completed. Mr. Kortepeter said it would require about a year to complete the survey. “We have found,” Mr. Kortepeter said, “that surveys of this kind have been made with notable success in Cleveland, Toledo, Louisville, Detroit and Washington, D. C. “I see no reason why such a survey should not be equally successful here. I'd like to see it go through. If it saved only one life, it would be worth all the money we could put into it.” Chief Morrissey said today he was unacquainted with. details of the survey but that the Police Department would co-operate fully if such a project were undertak
