In Europe After Border Clash; Rebels Report New Victories,

Diplomats Reveal Alarm

After Czech-Hungary Border Clash.

in October, was now believed to be prepared to reconsider, the dispatch said—because it was feared that an eventual independent Ukraine would attract Ukranian and Russian minorities in Rumania. Dispatches from Budapest and Praha said that troops on both sides had withdrawn well within their own territory in the Munkacs area and that no new fighting had been reported. The hope seemed to be that the Munkacs incident could be Sellen by direct diplomati¢ negotiation

Hungarians Attacked, Czech Authorities Say

PRAHA, Jan. 7 (U. P.).—Czechoslovak authorities said today that rumors of mobilization of army technical units were “100 per cent incorrect.” : Reports were published abroad that Czecoslovakia was mobilizing some men because of the situation on the Hungarian frontier. Competent quarters here said that

on the contrary demobilization of the Army continued and that troops

' were held in the Carpatho-Ukraine

region, where a clash occurred yesterday, merely to keep communications open in the severe weather experienced this winter, The Czechoslovak version of the clash between Czech and Hungarian units at Munkacs differed completely from the Hungarian one. According to reports from Bratis-

“lava, on the frontier, Hungarians

were to blame. An official communique of the Slovak Press Bureau said: “At 3:50 a. m. Friday armed Hungarian detachments invaded Czechoslovak territory near Roswigowe

' and Mknastir and began firing. The

Czechoslovak defense corps was compelled to reply, and at once put tanks, armored cars and artillery into action. We deny categorically that Czechoslovak military or Ukrainian formations began hostilities. It is to be remembered. that yesterday was'the day on which Ukrainians celebrate Christmas and so the atmosphere was a most peaceful one. The Hungarians provoked a fresh incident and then sent a fictitious version of it throughout the world.”

‘Hungarians Place Blame on Czechs

or

BUDAPEST, Jan. 7 (U. P)— Hungary had advised . the Czecho-

slovak Government that it will be held responsible for loss of life and

| damage to property as the result of

a clash at Munkacs yesterday, it was

| understood today.

A Hungarian protest to the Czech-

| oslovak Government against the in- | cident was drafted in the sternest

terms, it was reported, and charged

| that Czechoslovakia had prepared

the ground for the incident by =a

| long newspaper campaign.

The Czechoslovak Minister of Foreign Affairs was reported here to the Hungarian charge d’affaires at Praha, Arno von Bobrik, that he regretted the incident and that a member of the army general staff had been sent to investigate. It was announced that four Hungarian officers and five soldiers were killed and 10 seriously wounded in the clash, which according to the

. Hungarian version was caused by a

Czech attack on Munkacs. According to the Hungarian story, the Czechoslovaks lost five known dead and were believed to have removed additional bodies.

To Be Nazified

KOVNO, Jan. 7 (U. P.).—The Memel directorate, headed by August Baldscus, resigned today, marking another step in Nazification of the semiautonomous territory within Lithuania. The new dirzctorate is expected to be headed by the Nazi subleader, Willy Bertuleit. In the wake of the Nazi success in the recent election, the Germanization of Memel has been proceeding rapidiy. The directorate issued a decree yesterday designed to increase the use of the German language in the schools. Storm troop organizations similar to the Brown Shists in Germany are being organ-

crusier Foch today after his visit, to French Colonial Africa, and left by automobile for his home at Orange. M. Daladier will go to Paris to have tea Tuesday with Prime Minister Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, British Foreign Secretary.

AMERICAN HOPE PUT IN DEFENSE OF MONROE IDEA

Nazi - Fascist Menace in

est Is Growing, U. S. Grows Report Says.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Jan. T—If the United States continues to back up the Monroe Doctrine which it has successfully maintained for 115 years, it does not appear this hemisphere is in any great danger of attack from overseas. A report recently prepared for a group of interested Americans on the Nazi-Fascist menace to North and South America, contained many startling, almost hair-raising, statements. Japan, it was said, had been assigned to take over Asia and oust the British and Americans. Italy as to paralyze Britain and France

was then to finish them off along with. the Americas, including the United States.

Hints Mexican Penetration

The Germans, the report indicated, already had more than a thousand officers in Mexico training the - Army to attack the United States upon the outbreak of war in Europe. This would tie the United States’ hands while the Nazis de-| stroyed the British and the French. Afterwards Germany would take over the Western Hemisphere. Similar things, it was stated, were going on in Central and South America. Nazis naval and air bases were being established throughout that area, especially in the neighborhood of the Panama Canal. And so on. It sounded very terrible— and improbable. Of course anything can happen in this mad and changing world. But

come true, many other things would have to happen. Japan would first

that country’s 450 million people stay ‘put; Germany would have to become the complete master of Europe, and the United States would have to disappear from the map as a first class power.

Chief Danger Held Economic

The chief Nazi-Fascist danger to his hemisphere is economic, rather than military. But this war is none the less —~~1 because waged with trade ar »ropaganda instead of bullets. For, carried to its logical conclusion, economic control can result in ‘a large measure of political control. ; For example, Germany might fol= low certain trade practices which would: gain for her control over Brazil’s cotton and coffee. Having reached that point, Berling might hen bring political pressure to bear Rio, the penalty for not obeying being economic ruin for Brazil. The answer to this danger is a Pan-American understanding, economic, moral and poltical. This, in large measure, was accomplised at the eighth Pan-American Conference and was embodied in the declaration of Lima. It calls for hemisphere solidarity based upon the Monroe Doctrine. .

JAPANESE PLANES BOMB CHUNGKING

CHUNGKING, China, Jan. 7 (TU. P.).—Twenty-four® Japanese air-

| planes bombed the outskirts of the

city today, but did not bomb the city proper.

PROBERS SEEK CAUSE ~ OF BOONVILLE FIRE

BOONVILLE, Jan. 7 (U. P).— Investigators today sought to determine the cause of a fire here which destroyed the abandoned Lippineott company factory and warehouse at an estimated loss of $60,000. They indicated that tramps who were reported to have slept in the unguarded building Thursday night, may have been responsible for the blaze. Fire companies from Evansville aided in extinguishing the fire. The company moved most of its equipment to Cincinnati two years ago.

Claim © ‘Have ve Advanced Closer to Heart + Of Catalonia.

HENDAYE, FRENCH - SPANISH FRONTIER, Jan. 7 (U. P.).—The Spanish Rebels, datermined to push their big offensive to a decisive finish, penetrated the . Sierre de la Llena range today toward the heart of Catalonia and at the same time renewed their advance on the Ebro River sector toward the Mediterranean. ; While the Rebels drove ahead in the East and North, the Government forces were waging an offensive of their own nezrer the center of Spain. in the Estremadura region, apparently with considerable success. In the Sierra de la Llena, the Rebels penetrated Catalonia by way of Solchaga after the Navarre Army Corps and a mixa2d legionary army of foreigners hac. broken the -iron ring around Borjas Blancas. : Position Said Precarious * The Government position * appeared ‘to be exiremely precarious and the Solchaga drive thus initiated the seconc¢i phase of the offensive, which is bringing the Rebels into important towns in contrast to the first phase. That consisted of breaking the l.oyalist front lines and getting astride the main roads. Advices from Barcelona said a meeting of the unified Socialist Party of Catalonia demanded general mobilization and dispateh of all armed forces from the rear guard to the froat, on the ground that “the fight is to the death and She hour of supreme effort has arrived. In the’ Estremadura drive, the Loyalists claimed the recapture of 150 square: miles of territory and were threafening the strategically important towns of Pennaroya and Fuenteovejuna. northwest of Cordoba. Objectives Mapped Out Rebel sources intimated an early naval, as well as aerial, bombardment of Tarragona, important Catalonian seaport, is likely as the land forces advanced rapidly eastward in their offensive. Military objectives in Tarragona already have be¢n mapped out by the Rebels in preparation for the bombardment. It seemed increasingly certain that that the new Loyalist offensive was not merely one to divert attention from the Rebel drive on the Catalonian front. Both from the number of men engaged on the Loyalist side and the progress made, it was indicated that the offensive was one of the first rank. The Loyalists claimed the capture of much war material and of many prisoners—some of whom, they asserted, waved white flags in token of surrender.

Europe at Stake, Jan Masaryk Says

NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (U. P.) —Jan Masaryk, son of the first President of Czechoslovakia, who arrived on the United States liner Washington last night for a lecture tour, said he was worried over the safety of Europe. He said he was no longer interested in whether his country could survive, as presently constituted, but whether the rest of Europe could survive, “I ‘would rather be in the province of a decent (3ermany than king ol 3 Fascist Czechoslovakia,” he said.

Germany With Italy, Says Fascist Editor

ROME, Jan. 7 (U. P.).—In the event of conflict between Italy and France, Germany will be on Italy’s side, the political weekly Relazioni Internazionali predicted today in an editorial. The editorial was believed to have been written by Virginio Gayda, whose writings usually reflect the views of Premier Benito Mussolini: “There is no doubt that the (Rome-Berlin) axis would come immediately into action,” the editorial said. “The axis cannot admit, even less conceive of, a division of its duties, functions and risks.” United States end Italian officials joined today in a denial of persistent reports abroad that Premier Mussolini had rejected an appeal by President Roosevelt in behalf -of Jewish refugees. An American Embassy spokesman said that Sig. Mussolini had expressed his “sympathetic interest” in the President's suggestions and hag, promised to give them careful consideration,

T0 BE CLEARED,

America Held in No Danger }

If Monroe Doctrine Is Protected. By RAYMOND CLAPPER ‘ Times Special Writer E WASHINGTON, Jan. 7—With sO

much hysteria in the air, it is nec-| |

essary for us to keep our bearings in clear view. peating over and over that our main

interest in the world today is to]:

protect the United States and the Western Hemisphere. To protect the United States we also must protect the Western Hem-

isphere. In other words—uphold|; the Monroe Doctrine, guard it, in-|§

sist that it be respected.

We do that by insuring that we| |

continue to command the American side of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Essentially it is a naval task, supplemented with sufficient Army strength to support the Navy shore establishments. : Some new naval outposts must be established and the President’s national defense message next week will outline these needs and the additional Army strength necessary to support them.

Dislike Pact Violators

Discussion of our situation is complicated by the fact that as a nation we don’t like the dictators’ brutality, their disregard of their pledged treaty word, their tolerance of democracy and free speech. We don't like them, and there is no reason why we shouldn’t say so. President Roosevelt proposes to go further, to go beyond mere words and take action, short of war, to impress aggressor countries with our disapproval. This is construed by many Senators who listened to the annual message as meaning thai the President wishes discretionary authority ‘to invoke embargoes and other weapons of economic warfare against certain nations. Conversation with a number of Senators in both parties indicates that there will be strong opposition to that. It is extremely doubtful if the Senate would at this time approve invoking economic embar-

goes or other drastic measures

against other nations on ideological grounds. An embargo is virtually an act of war and the Senate, which is the key body in such matters, seems set against any action of that kind ‘except in retaliation for plain infringement of our rights. If Germany or any other nation tramples upon American rights, Congress will be ready to act, and no kidding.. Japan is treading on thin ice in heér careless treatment of American interests in China and it would not take very much more over there to set off a real effort to put the economic screws on her. Any action taken by Congress will be in retaliation for infringement of tights of American citizens and not to make China, or Germany or any place else safe for democracy, or for religion or for free speech. : nies

14,159 Jews Enter

U. S. as Immigrants

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7 (U. P.)— Immigration officials revealed today that 14,159 immigrant Jews entered the United States from: Germany and Austria during the first nine month of 1938. The Jewish immigrants constituted 79 per cent of the GermanAustrian total of 17,110 which sought refuge on American shores from January through September of last year. Immigration has mounted steadily since Herr Hitler's “anschluss” last March. Although no figures were available yet on the effect of the Sudeten crisis nor the latest outbreak of anti-Semitism in Germany, officials expressed. belief that. the quota for each month had been filled, Pound Is Defended

country. Drastic action by. the British Government to defend the pound against speculative and political pressure was believed today to have averted a crisis that might have threatened the recently consummated British-American ‘Reciprocal Trade Pact. Although official comment here was lacking, the bolstering of the British equalization fund with an additional $1,700,000,000 in gold has dissipated concern over both mone-

tary and . trade relationships be-

tween the United States and Great Britain as the result of the recent weakness of the pound. :

BERTHA’S GRANDMA FACING ‘GHOST’ AGAIN

ST. CHARLES, Va. Jan. 7 (U.P.).|

—Grandma Jane Sybert, 71, returned to the tiny mountain cabin

Grandma Sybert moved to a neighbor’s house nearly a week ago because “that everlasting bouncing was wearing me down to a frazzle.” But she said she was rested up now and believed she could stay with Bertha. The girl's father has barred visitors “and that will help because the visitors wore me out nearly as much,” the grandmother said. Scientists say there is no “ghost” but that Bertha is doing the bouncing herself.

SEVEN HELD ON OPIUM CHARGES

Put Under Bonds Totaling $250,000; Big Dope: - Cargo Seized.

NEW YORK, Jan. 7 (U. P)— Seven men, four of them Italian seamen, were held under bonds

totaling $250,000 today, charged with attempting to smuggle $250,000 worth of opium ashore from the freighter Ida, out of Trieste, Italy. Three, residents of New York, were caught in a trap set by policemen and Federal agents after a waterfront gun battle. The others were taken off the ship at Hoboken, N. J.’

fore U. S. Commissioner Martin L. Epstein and hearings were set for Jan. 17. The three captured ashore were Luigi Esposito, 42; Salvatore Luisi, 22, and Frank Visciano. The seamen were Giovanna Abba, 36, of Rovina; Antonio Occhi, 25, of Salvorre; Giacomo Baccareza, 50, :of Trieste, and Bruno Pozzocco, 29, of Umago, Italy. T. Vincent Quinn, assistant U. S. Attorney; principal “or close to the principal” of the smuggling ring. He said recent seizures of opium here had sent bootleg prices soaring. Policemen, disguised as members of the gang, met the Ida in the harbor with a launch, took off the opium and brought it ashore. When the three New York residents came to take it from the pier, they were captured after a fight in which one

policeman was shot in the hand.

~ ‘Jitterbugs’

Antics Help to Curb Lawlessness, Says Probation Chief.

NTICS of “jitterbugs” help to keep down youthful lawlessness in the opinion of Solon C. Vial, chief probation officer of the Indianapolis Municipal Court. The much criticized hoofing and vocalizing of the “jitterbugs,” the buffed in finding jobs or realizing their ambitions in our topsy turvy economic society. “It is a result of the tenseness of the day in which we are living,” he said. “It isa sort of short circuit in the energy of youth. It is better to have an explosion of the kind the jitterbugs enjoy than to let them take up radical movements that have resulted in revolutions in some nations abroad. ? More than half the cases referred to the City Probation Department fall in the jitterbug age range, 16 to 25. Mr, Vial said he sympathizes with youth from low subsistence homes who cannot find jobs. “They can’t have the things they want or need,” he explained, sand the result is that they join gangs made up of fellows just like themselves. ® # 1 go out to make their own fun. They may steal a case of soft drinks and land in jail, and that’s where our department comes in.” In the last year about 250 post juveniles, as he calls them, were referred to his department. Without guidance most of these boys soon would drift into criminal careers, he said. First, he attempts: to get the probationer ‘back to school ::The higher the education ceiling the greater the vocational opportunity, Mr. Vial reasons. Next, he attempts to find part-time employment for his charges. “It is encouraging how many employers there are who are glad to help out in these cases,” he said. “A part-time job behind a counter or delivering merchandise will do a lot to reform these boys.”

Who Lost A Little Red Pushmobile?

A little red pushmobile, salvaged from Fall Creek by five squads of police and firemen, is being held. at Police Headquarters today awaiting its youthful owner, . Late yesterday a man saw: the pushmobile in the creek at Meridian St., and, fearing a child had been drowned, called police. While a crowd watched, the police and firemen salvaged the vehicle. The squads were unable to find any evidence that a child had been - drowned, and could learn of no children missing in the neighborhood. Red paint on the side of the bridge indicated the pushmobile had’ been dropped over the cement railing. .

CALLED PICTURE OF THE MONTH

Work of Famous French Painter Loaned by Detroit Gallery.

~ Rosa Bonheur’s famous painting, “A Day in July,” was placed on exhibit today at the John Herron Art Museum as the "picture of the month.” This is the third in the museum’s series started in November under a policy of giving the public one notable painting each month as a featured exhibit. It represents a complete departure from the two examples of Italian Renaissance art exhibited in November and December. The painting will suggest immediately to most observers the artist’s most famous work, “The Horse Fair,” which now is in New York’s Metropolitan Museum, The Detroit Institute of Arts is lending the painting for the‘month. Rosa Bonheur was born in Bordeaux in 1822 and died in Paris in 1899. Her father, who was a director and drawing master of an art school for girls, intended that she should become a dressmaker, but her extraordinary talent became apparent early in her life. Her picture, “Goats and Sheep,” was exhibited in the Salon when she was 18. She had 14 pictures in the Salon the following year. Within the range of her special efforts, the painting of horses, she has no superior, according to most critics. Her horses are well-drawn and truthfully colored ‘and are usually characterized by vigor. The exhibit of oil paintings by contemporary American artists

{which . opened at the Herron Mu-

seum Jan. 1 .is being received well, Wilbur D. Peat, Museum director, said. Thirty paintings of great variety are in this; one of the season’s most important exhibits, which will be continued throughout the month.

Joseph Forte, serving a 10-year sentence, was locked up with Joseph Walters and Harry Osborne, two of the hunger-striking convicts who strangled to death in the steams filled “Klondike.” -“I was there until Monday morning and it was pretty hot,” Forte related ini a matter-of-fact tone. “We couldn’t stand it, that’s all. It was pretty hot... .~ : “After the guards went out the : two. fellows with me died. They were in pretty bad shape. Walters was gasping for breath and holding his heart. I did as much for him as possible. He asked me not to allow him to go to sleep. About 8 o’cloek he fell over from his sit« ting position and I made him as comfortable as I could. Later my hand brushed his leg and I found it was cold.

“I crawled on the floor hugging. ii as close as I could because there was3 a little relief there,” Forte con» tinued. “I couldn’t stand or sit. I tried it once and nearly fell down,” | “Was there any water in the cell,” asked Assistant District Attorney John A. Boyle. “Just drops of hot water from tha spigot. We took turns lying on our backs and letting the drops fall inty | our mouths. When you got a mouth ful you swallowed it. There wag water in the hopper, but it was dirty because it had been used. I used my shorts to soak in the hopper. and then wrung them out in my mouth. You'd do anything to get relief.” ‘Osborne, he said, had been lying on the floor unable to move and was unconscious at intervals unt1 he died. “He kept calling for his mothe and wife and child, - He'd call out their names and say ‘What's going

go into a coma again. “I just lay on my belly on tha floor the whole night trying to get my breath,” he testified. Although he called to the guards that ‘his fellow | prisoners were uns conscious and fone of them was cold,” they paid no attention, ac- i cording to Forte, who said that whea Se he finally was taken out of the cel he was too weak to walk.
