Free Latvia, Estonia And Finland.

LONDON, June 29 (U. P)— Great Britain and France, seeking to speed up ‘security front” negotiations with Russia because of alarming reports from the continent, have agreed to name Latvia, Estonia and Finland as countries whose independence is of vital interest to the security of Britain, France and Russia, it was said authoritatively today. In addition to these countries, which Russia regards as vital in

land, Rumania, Turkey, Greece and Belgium as nations which from their viewpoint must be regarded as of vital interest. New instructions,

liam Seeds, British Ambassador to] Russia, and William Strang, chief of the central European department of the Foreign Office, at Moscow, yesterday, it was learned.

Hear Nazis Entering Danzig

It was indicated that both Britain;

and France were receiving reports that German Nazi forces, military or semimilitary, were entering Danzig. France was convinced that Adolf Hitler planned some action, possibly for this week-end. The suggestion seemed to be, from the French viewpoint, that Danzig would proclaim its own independence and announce its desire to join Germany. This would force Poland to take an initiative. French reports indicated that Poland was ready to take this initiative. Germany, however, seemed convinced despite plain warnings from London, Paris and Warsaw, that Britain, France and Poland all would give in to a “bloodless” victory. Finland Watches Frontier

A number of aparently disconnected reports showed how things were tending:

| newspaper Pravda today that negotiations on Russia's entry into an antiaggression agreement were deadlocked because Britain and France did not want to agree to an equally | fair treaty. As Mr. Zhdanov made his charge, London dispatches said that Britain {had sent to Moscow new proposals designed to approach much more closely Russia's idea of a fair agreement. It became known today that Soviet military maneuvers annually scheduled for September and hitherto held in the Ukraine or White Russia will be held in the Leningrad area this year. Foreign circles interpreted the announcement as a Soviet gesture asserting her place on the Baltic.

Personal Opinion Only The Pravda article was a most unusual one. Mr. Zhdanov in addition to being secretary of the Central Committee, the supreme body in Russia, is head of the committee's propaganda department and is president of the Foreign Affairs Commission in Parliament. He is one of Josef Stalin's associates. In making his charge, he said he was giving his personal opinion and that “his friends” did not agree with him, Britain and France, he alleged.

1. From Stockholm came a newspaper report that a general of the German general staff was due at Helsingfors today to familiarize himself with defense conditions on the Finland frontier—opposite Russia. . 2. France banned the export or re-export of glycerin, used for explosives, in connection with national defense needs. 3. Leon Noel, French Ambassador at Warsaw, was understood to be on his way to Paris to consult the Government. 4. The Suez Canal Co. in Paris received a letter from Ezio Bonardi, vice president of the Italian Institute of Industrial Reconstruction, demanding a 75 per cent reduction in canal rates. The letter was widely published in press. It was said at Paris that the letter would be nominally it came from a private person.

11 Arabs Are Killed in Holy Land Violence

JERUSALEM, June 29 (U. P.).— Eleven Arabs were killed and five injured in scattered acts of violence today, an official announcement said. The various shootings occurred almost simultaneously. In addition. two land mines exploded under a train traveling to Haifa, derailing two carriages. A third unexploded mine was found nearby. The military made many arms seizures in the last 24 hours, during which 35 rifles, five pistols and a large quantity of ammunition were confiscated in Arab villages.

cylinder motors. designed in the experimental plant here and considered the most powerful motor in the world. They are to be used in bombing planes. Details of the plans for the new factory production units are to be [released within the next few days. The buildings are to be constructed on several acres of ground south of 10th St., off Main St. in Speedway | City. Production of the 12 and 24- | eylinder motors at the present experimental plant has been limited to test motors for U. S. Army ships. The testing has been done at Wright Field, Dayton, O. Other contracts announced yesterday called for purchase by the War Department of $8975317 in double-row, air-cooled Wright Aeronautical Corp. motors, designed for linstallation in 200 attack bombers ordered last month from the Douglas Aircraft Co. of Santa Monica, Cal., and $598810 for single-row Pratt and Whitney 500 horsepower air-cooled engines. The latter power plants are to equip basic combat planes produced by the North Amerjcan Aviation Corp. of Inglewood, Cal.

Plan Installations by Pairs

| Some of the Allison motors are to be fitted in war planes as pairs, similar to the Bell Aircraft test ‘plane that made the transcon- | tinental flight. Others will be installed in single units, Mr. Kreusser | said. The announcement of the contracts yesterday confirms statements made here by War Department officials that the Government has chosen the Allison motor for future {development of its speediest types of military aicraft.

OIL PRODUCTION GAINS NEW YORK, June 29 (U. P).— | Daily average crude oil production lin the week ended June 24, totaled [32 00 barrels, compared with 3.447.050 barrels in the preceding week and 3.085900 barrels in the corresponding 1938 week, the American Petroleum Institute reported today.

RELIEF BOOSTED BY $73,300,000

Senate Cuts $125,000,000 And 3-Man Board From House Bill.

WASHINGTON, June 29 (U. P). —Highlights of the 1940 relief bill as passed early today by the Senate: 1. Appropriates $1,808,900,000 for all activities during the year beginning July 1, an increase of $73,300,000 over the amount approved by the House. The Senate increased the Farm Security Administration fund $40,000,000 to $123,000,000; National Youth Administration $23,000,000 to $100,000,000 and added $10,000,000 for refinancing farm loans in cases where foreclosures are threatened and $300,000 for the Public Health Service. 2. Appropriates $1,477,000,000 for WPA. The House earmarked $125,000,000 of this fund {or the PWA, which was returned to the WPA by the Senate.

Board Is Abolished

8. Continues the present single administrator for WPA. The House substituted a three-man board. 4. Places a greater burden on states and cities by requiring that they put up 25 per cent of the aggregate cost of non-Federal projects in their terirtories. Average contributions recently have been 20.2 per cent. 5. Fixes WPA wages on the basis of the amount being paid in individual localities by private em-

and provides that this wage shall in no case be lower than that paid under the wages and hours law for similar work.

Federal Theater Retained

8. Gives preference in employment to persons who have been on WPA

certified lists for three months or more and who have failed to get work over those who have worked

bill required those on the rolls 18 months of more to take a 60-day “vacation.” 7. Allows three-fourths of one per cent of the WPA appropriation to be spent for Federal Theater Projects, if they are locally sponsored. The House banned projects of this type. 8. Removes the House formula for distribution of funds on the basis of population, jobs and need, making need the sole basis. 9. Imposes severe penalties on relief officials who interfere in political campaigns, strengthening the House's provisions. 10. Changes from $40,000 to $75,000 the limitation placed by the House on the cost of non-Federal projects in which the WPA may participate.

Publication of Salaries

11. Eliminates a House provision establishing a 130-hour month for WPA workers. 12. Authorizes the WPA to reallocate up to $60,000,000 of its funds to other Federal agencies. 13. Requires the WPA to make public each month salaries in excess of $1000 paid annually to its personnel. 14. Authorizes employment of WPA workers on municipal plant construction projects. 15. Permits the use of FSA funds for construction of additional camps for migratory workers.

HOLLYWOOD, June 29 (U. P.).—

{|The pay of President Roosevelt's

eldest son James was raised from a reported $35,000 to $50,000 a year by Samuel Goldwyn, Inc. today under a new three-year contract. Mr. Roosevelt repaid his salary several times alone in his international salesmanship of Goldwyn's “Wuthering Heights.” He took the picture to England, was a guest of the King and Queen, and the picture netted Goldwyn $200,000 more than anticipated.

Parries Denver Questions

. But Commissioner McNutt is not expected to say anything about his candidacy, or about his intentions in connection with his present job. He is expected merely to express - his pleasure at being so warmly and abundantly welcomed to his home state and city. At Denver yesterday, where Come . | missioner McNutt was honor guest lat a luncheon between trains, he "| parried the questions of reporters who asked about the Presidential boom in his behalf. “It is quite an honor to be even mentioned as a potential candidate for the Presidency,” he said. “I ap= preciate the honor more than I can express. My friends started the Presidential boom in my behalf on the assumption President Roosevelt would not seek a third term, but, of course, any political picture can change overnight. “ “I do not believe that President Roosevelt's closest advisers know anything about his future political plans.” Asked if he intended to resign as High Commissioner Mr, McNutt said: “I am not going to say I am going to resign, but I brought everything with me.” William Fortune will introduce Mayor Reginald Sullivan, who will introduce Governor Townsend to the gathering. Governor Townsend will introduce President Edward C. Elliott of Purdue University, and President, Elliott will welcome Com= missioner McNutt. What Mr. McNutt has to say will be in the form of a response to Dr. Elliott. News reel cameramen will record the event and it will be broadcast.

The House met an hour earlier than usual, at 11 a. m, and Democratic leaders were confident that they had sufficient votes to pass the measure. They said there would be no further compromises on the bill's important features. A charge by Rep. Martin L. Sweeney (D. O.) that a member of President Wilson's Cabinet induced doubtful Congressmen to vote for war in 1917 brought a sharp flurry as general debate was being concluded. Rep. Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), a member of the House at that time, retorted that Sweeney was voicing an “utter untruth.” Rep. Bruce Barton (R. N. YY), suggested a compromise yesterday on the arms embargo controversy. He would provide for an embargo only of strictly “lethal weapons.” The current law forbids shipment to pelligerents of “arms, ammunition and implements of war” as defined | by the President.
