Permission to Reopen Shops May Be Refused in Retaliation.

BERLIN, Nov. 28 (U. P.) —American Jews may not be allowed to reopen their shops in retaliation for anti-German agitation in the |© United States, informed quarters said today. Germany has never replied to the American note which requested a definition of the German Government’s attiude toward American Jews in business in Germany. The definition was requested largely as a matter of the principle of equal treatment of all Americans, regardless of race. These circles believed that restrictions against American Jews would result if any high United States official advocated a tightening of the boycott on German goods in America.

Roosevelt Hears of Pogroms From Envoys

WARM SPRINGS, Ga., Nov. 28 (U. P.).— President Roosevelt renewed his conversations ‘with the

be | American Ambassadors to Germany

and Italy on subject of European religious and racial persecutions today. It was reported that the conferences might lead to an even more positive policy in this regard. For more than four hours the Chief Executive sat before an open fire in the living room of the Little White House, listening to Hugh Wilson, Ambassador to Germany, and: William Phillips, Ambassador to Italy. When they finally left the isolated frame cottage on the cdge of Pine Mountain last night it was with instructions to return for further conference a little before noon today. To all questions the Ambassadors said that the conference was as yet incomplete but indicated that if any talking was to be done, Mr. Roosevelt would do it. Administration attaches made it clear that the President intended exploring the question of religious persecution in complete detail. He was as much concerned with the plight of Catholics and Protestants in some countries as he was with that of Jews, it was said. Close friends of the White House speculated on the bearing of the present talks on a further delineation of this Government’s policy toward those States drastically restricting religious, racial and political minorities. Ambassador Wilson was technically recalled from Germany as a|protest. He will remain in the United States away from his post for an indefinite period. Whether similar action would be applied to Italy, inasmuch as Mr. Phillips was summoned to Warm Springs, was not known. Mr. Phillips has been home for some time on leave.

Woodring’s annual report, the committee, composed of high Administration officials and military and naval experts, drafted plans to: 1. Eliminate flaws in the proteective mobilization plan, designed to place industry and the armed forces on a preparedness basis for any eventuality. 2. Increase: the Army Air Corps from 2320 to approximately 9000 first-line planes within the next few years.

3. Strengthen insular defenses

Oa Further mechanization and modernization of . Army's mokile forces. : 5. Immediate procurement of unlimited supplies of war materials. Secretary Woodring’s report stated frankly that existing defensive establishments are inadequate. He said that vast improvement in the military machine had been made since 1933, but that there “remain deficiencies in organization, equipment and personnel which must be corrected before we can be assured of maintenance of a military force fully adequate for our defensive needs.” “In our mobilization planning and our military preparations,” he reported, “we contemplate no aggression against any power on earth; we visualize only the possible necessity for armed defense of our own domains.”

Opposition Rises to Huge Air Force Increase

By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 28— Prophets of enormous increases in America’s air forces, who have been raising each other’s ante in the last six weeks until the horizon appears to be the only limit to our aerial arming, are beginning to encounter sporadic murmurs of resistance. Not the least of these murmurs is the contention of George Fielding Eliot, in his new book on national defense : entitled “The Ramparts We Watch,” that he Army’s present authorized strength of 2320 first-line planes is adequate. Gen. Hugh 8S. Johnson, Indianapolis Times columnist, is another to raise his eyebrows at the predictions. He urged a thorough Congressional inquiry into our needs in advance of any huge increment in air defenses. Peace groups also are showing signs of active opposition. Senator Clark (D. Mo.), a prominent member of the Senate neutrality bloc, denounced new national defense plans based on “war hysteria” today and cautioned against

permitting use of them as a “cloak for another pump priming program.”

The big-air-force agitation broke upon the country suddenly, on the heels of the Czechoslovakian crisis.

On Sept. 28, the day Fuehrer Hit-

leash by consenting to the Munich parley a War Department official, one who has frequent contact with the White House, indicated privately that the Army was content with its authorization of 2320 airplanes— the so-called Baker Board goal, which will theoretically be reached in mid-1940 on the basis of appropriations already made. ~

He explained with a smile that it is up to the War Department to decide when & plane is outmoded, and hence ineligible to be counted against the quota of 2320 planes. Thus the Department, by labeling a hundred or a thousand planes obsolescent, could ask for that many JW Blanes without overstepping the That modest view vanished quickly, as the war fears began to turn America’s attention toward defenses, and to encourage Army and Navy officials to strike for expansion while the iron was hot. On Oct. 14 President Roosevelt revealed at a press conference that mass production of airplanes wes being considered, in the light, of events abroad.
