By UNITED PRESS While Great Britain, France and Poland sought to make clear to all Europe today that they were going to avoid “anpther Munich,” 10 Polish students were arrested on the Danzig frontier. In Shanghai, four persons, including an outbreat were killed in a
sudden outbreak of terrorism which ‘ police believed was directed by proJapanese elements. In Danzig, the Nazis who made the arrests said the students, who were all in one auto from a Polish |" youth camp near the border, carried loaded revolvers. The students were | quoted as saying they crossed the * frontier by mistake. The Danzig Senate at the same time demanded from Polish authorities a full explanation of the arrest of Eugene*Lipski, a Danzig customs official, yesterday after several shots had been fired info the air by Bolish guards.

Quirks in the Indiana marriage license laws make it possible for County Clerks to make thousands of dollars each year from the sale of marriage certificates.
This was pointed out today after some Marion County couples had objected to paying $1 or $3 in add:ition to the $2 license fee to obtain. a certificate of their marriage. What makes this profitable sideline for the clerk possible is that thousands of couples have no way of proving they are legally married as the law now stands.

Proof of Marriage? That Comes Extra Because of a Loophole in License Law
‘Clerk and the minister performing the ceremony, it must be returned to the Clerk’s office by the minister within three months.

When the license ‘is returned the marriage is recorded at the Clerk’s office. i

Times Special BLOOMINGTON. July 22—Indiana business activity turned upward last month for the first time since March, the Indiana Business Review reported today. The rise was the first of conse-
quence since business began a decline from the January high, according to the Review, published monthly by the Indiana University Bureau of Business Research. Such a reversal in the business trend has occurred every six months during the last two years, the Review said. Indianapolis payrolls were 5 per cent higher and employment 1 per cent higher than in May, and were 30 and 23 per cent, respectively, above the. year-ago figures. June retail food prices in Indi-
21 per cent, respectively, over June, 1938.

Declines to New Minimum Since October.
CHICAGO, July 22 (U. P.).—All | corn futures slipped to lowest levels since 1933 on the Chicago Board of Trade today, with the July future quoted at 383% cents a bushel. Wheat prices also weakened, and the July futuré declined to a new low since last October. Today was the last day for trading on the current month futures. Nothing in the news encouraged buying of grain. Winnipeg prices fell to the lowest since last fall, and U. S. export business was reported flat.

Passed by the House early yesterday morning, the measure swept past final concurrence in the Senate in the afternoon with only a feeble show of resistance by Administration forces which had fought it vigorously for months. The bill was scheduled for signature by Vice President Garner and Speaker Bankhead today and probably will be on Mr. Roosevelt's desk when he returns from Hyde Park Tuesday morning. Although the President criticized the legislation—after earlier expressing agreement with its general purposes—it was considered unlikely he would exercise his veto power. The political prohibitions set up in the bill would enter directly into Mr. Roosevelt's own personal considerations if he becomes a candidate for the Democratic nomination a third time. g Federal jobholders from political activity would mean they would be kept from national conventions, where in the past they often have been dominated as delegates. Most of these employees today are beholden for their jobs to Mr. Roosevelt, or to Senators who obtained their appointments. A (Continued on Page Three)
PITTMAN URGES U. S. GIVE JAPAN NOTICE
Waning of Ending Treaty Asked.
—
WASHINGTON, July 22 (U. P.. —Chairntan Pittman (D. Nev.) of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said today he thought the Senate should recommend . before adjournment serving Japan a sixmonths notice of intention to abrogate an amity-in-trade treaty signed by the two nations in 1911. That effort to obtain legislation voicing a Senate complaint against Japanese ‘trade tactics survived a
‘| State Department suggestion that
retaliatory measures against Japan be postponed until next session. Senator Pittman said he saw no reason why a resolution by Senator Vandenberg (R. Mich.), voicing the complaint should not. be acted on this year. The treaty pledges each nation to respect the trade rights of others. Secretary of-State Hull; in a letter to Senator Pittman, replying to the Committee’s request for an opinion upon the Vandenberg proosal, recognized that it would have the force only of advising the President of the Senate's attitude. He made no suggestion of delay.

FARLEY-F. D. R. SPLIT DOUBTED
Tomorrow Night at Hyde Park May Be Crucial ~ Time for ‘Both, ~
WASHINGTON, July 22 (U. P.) — Reports that Postmaster General Farley had determined to bolt President Roosevelt on the third term issue were regarded as premature today, but of straw-in-the-wind significance. 1f either of the two men has decided on a break it has been in the past 48 hours and that is not likely Mr. Farley will spend the night with Mr. Roosevelt at Hyde Park tomorrow before the Postmaster General sails for Poland, July 26. There might some ‘major developments from that meeting ,although all previous ones have” been uniformly friendly. The latest jolt to the FarleyRoosevelt political association was this month’s surprise nomination of Paul V. McNutt of Indiana to be Federal Security Administrator. It was especially a surprise to Mr. Farley and’ many persons. thought a direct affront to him, since Mr. Farley’s feud with Mr, McNutt since the 1932 Chicago convention is well known. McNutt Might Be.Cause The opinion generally held here is that if Mr. Roosevelt backed Mr. {McNutt . for the 1940 Democratic 'Presidential nomination, Mr. Far-
‘ley not only would bolt but would
'take the lead, if necessary, opposing him. It was felt, however, that if Mr. Roosevelt should again be a candidate himself, Mr. Farley's sense of loyalty A might compel nominal support. Mr. Farley has said publicly that ‘Calvin Coolidge showed a good sense of timing in making ‘his 1927 #“I-do-not-choose-to-run” statement in August. He believes a statement from Mr. Roosevelt within the next few weeks would be timely, but few persons expect an announcement soon. The longer the delay, the
