DANZIG DISPUTE

BERLIN—New border incident reported in newspapers. ® 8 = TIENTSIN—59-year-old Amer-

By UNITED PRESS

Europe was alive with reports today that an early effort is to be made to negotiate the Danzig dispute and Germany's other claims. There was no authentic informa-

tion of the nature of the possible |

negotiations, but a general air of

expectancy prevailed after the visit |

to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler at Berchtesgaden of Dr. Karl J. Burckhardt

League or Nations High Commis-|#

sioner for Danzig. |

Of the many reports, one of the}

-mgst persistent was that.His Holiness Pope Pius XII was promoting

the idea of a four-power peace con- |;

ference of Britain, France, Germany

and Italy, with the approval of Pre-|

mier Benito Mussolini. Dr. Burckhardt’s place in the pattern was obscure... German sources in London reported Dr. Burckhardt might go there to pave the way for Peace negotiations, but Dr. Burckhardt, who is back in Danzing conferring with the Danzig Senate president, told the foreign press he is not going to London.

‘Thunderer’ for Peace Britain was keeping France, Poland and other interested powers fully informed of all developments. The Polish press was nervous. A British spokesman confirmed that Dr. Burckhardt had reported, but confidentially, to the Foreign Office on his visit to Berchtesgaden. It was considered significant that the conservative, influential Lon.don Times editorially campaigned for a peace settlement acceptable to all concerned. The Times praised Sig. Mussolini as “a consistent advocate of peaceful revisicn of treaties.” A hopeful note came from Paris, where a marked improvement in the tourist trade was attributed to a general belief that war is not imminent.

Border Incident Reported

Nevertheless, military preparations and maneuvers continued unabated.- The vast German maneuvers neared their climax, and it was expected that by early September Germany would have some 2,000,000 men under arms. Nazis shifted their campaign against Poland to a new sector as the Voelkischer Beobdachter, the official party organ charged in a dispatch from Bratislava, Slovakia, that Polish soldiers attacked a refugee camp in the Chadca Forest, wounded 25 persons and dragged several across the border . into Poland. It was said that the camp contained five deserters from the Polish Army out of the 197 that Nazis said had crossed the frontier in the past few weeks. Slovakia was meanwhile trying to get back from Poland at least part of the territory Poland gained in the Sudeten crisis last September.

American Women Slapped Turkey also started maneuvers, two months ahead of the usual time, and close to the Bulgarian frontier. In the Orient, Americans were aroused to indignation by the slap-

‘American woman by a Japanese sentry. The consulate said the victim, Mrs. Frances Mary Richard of San Francisco, had been subjected to indignities. Details of the incident were forwarded to the State Department at Washington.

BRIEF CONGRESS IN"40 FORECAST

Barkley Says Next Session

Will Be Short and Full Of Politics.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 (U. P). —Senate Democratic Leader Alben W. Barkley today predicted a Short and . politics-laden session of Congress in 1940, He called for prompt action on President Roosevelt's neutrality program, which he said should be “cleared up before any conflict abroad so that the United States will not be charged with changing

the rules of the game while the game is in progress.” Senator Barkley, in an interview before leaving the capital for his summer vacation, said that politics undoubtedly will play a large part in the next session because of the approach of the 1940 elections. The session should be short as legislators will be anxious to get away for campaigning purposes, he said. Senator Barkley said it was understood “when we agreed to postpone consideration of neutrality that it would be brought up early in January.” “Certainly the thing ought to be cleared up,” he said. “What we do with it may have some bearing on whether there will be war in Europe.” Senator Barkley predicted that the Congress will act promptly on its other “hangover” measures—the President’s $2,800,000,000 iending program and the $800,000,00 housing bill. He declined to forecast the outcome of efforts to amend the Wagner Labor Relations Act.

FIREMEN BLOCKED BY DOUBLE PARKERS

A barn and most of its contents were burned last night while firemen who were trying to reach the scene spent more than 15 minutes battling a long row of spectators’ cars doubled parked on the highway. Firemen fiom No. 26 Engine House said the cars were double-parked for a quarter of a mile down the road from the home of Earl Smith, one mile east of West. Newton on the Southport Road, where the barn was burning. ; . They said they saw no deputy sheriffs and no State Police and got their apparatus to the scene only after they had directed the car owners into a hearby barnyard. Meantime, neighbors formed a bucket brigade and helped wheel farm machinery from the blazing barn. Frank Hale, Camby, was burned on the hand when he helped save a new cultivator. He was given first aid by firemen. Firemen said all stock was in a pasture. A small tool shed, near the barn, ‘also was destroyed.

The Gallup Poll—

COUNTY COUNCIL STARTS BUDGET CHECK MONDAY

Sadlier Hints ‘Whacks’ Due; Tax Groups Study Plan To Hike Welfare Rate. J

The Marion County Council will begin its scrutiny of County depart-

{mental budgets Monday morning,

George Sadlier, president, announced today. Meanwhile, local taxpayers’ groups were studying the County Welfare

calls for a 12-cent tax rate increase over the present welfare rate of 14 cents and an additional $696,373 from taxes. The Council plans tentatively to survey the general fund budget first, calling in department. heads early next week to explain their requests. The welfare budget will be studied

{| next, it is understood,

‘Large Whacks” Indicated

Mr. Sadlier indicated the Council was planning “large whacks” in the budgets but would not reveal where

| the slashes might come.

- Filed yesterday with the County Auditor by Thomas Neal, Welfare director, the welfare requests set total estimated expenditures for next year, including those defrayed in part by State and Federal aid, at $3,921,667. oy The heaviest increases, which were found in the old age assistance and aid to dependent children programs, were set because of anticipated increases in the case loads of the programs due to WPA “layoffs” ordered by Federal Government and “natural increases,” Mr. Neal declared. Of the total estimated expenditures for next year, $1,576,000 would be raised by taxes, as compared to $879,263 during the current year.

Requests to Be Studied

The proposed .budget would send the proposed 1940 County tax rate, based on departmental requests, to 64.3 cents, compared to the current 48 cents. George L. Denny, chairman of the new United Tax Reduction Committee, said his organization is opposed to “any unnecessary expenditures for relief, including those which tend to make a client depend upon his government for a living.” ; William H. Book, Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce executive vice president. said his organization would scrutinize the requests closely in the interest of the taxpayers. A great part of the increase in the proposed budget is for a $300,000 operating balance, never before requested by the Department. Another big factor in the increase, Mr. Neal said, is that the Welfare Department this year received an estimated $180,000 from the State but will not receive a similar sum next year. The 1939 Legislature failed to renew the grant which had been made by the Special Session in 1938.

More Sought For Pensions

Old age pension benefits will require an estimated $1,970,910, an increase of $307,400. At present, 7300 person are receiving old age pensions averaging $18.30 a month. Mr. Neal said, and on the basis of recent applications, the case load will be increased to 9300 next year. The Federal Government pays 50 per cent of the pension costs, the State 30 per cent and County 20 per

| cent. ?

An $11,000 increase in the foster homes fund is offset, the director said, by a $14,500 decrease in the sum asked for operation of the Children Guardians Home. Mr. Neal asked $37,610 to operate the Colored Orphans Home next year. : The hospitalization program also calls for expansion in the budget. A total of $175,237 is requested for operation of this welfare program, for 1940 as compared to $135,100 allowed last year. :

broken rail at Humboldt River, just west of Carlin. Early arrivals at the scene had reported seeing a man without ears watching rescue work from a nearby hill. He fled when Sheriff's deputies called to him. : Federal Bureau of Investigation men here said they had “nothing to go cn” to support reports of sabotage and closed their office early last night. A police chief at a Nevada town, asked how many suspects he had detained, replied with this question: “How many do you want?” One of the clues cited by railroad officials as evidence that the train was deliberately wrecked was the presence of a spike puller -at- the scene. They said one rail had been moved inward on a curve so the speeding streamliner would be derailed. A crowbar at the scene, it developed today, had been dropped from a relief train. 3

Calls Secrecy Essential

A. D. McDonald, president of the. Southern Pacific, said that his spe-

pointing toward a particular person as a saboteur. He bluntly refused to amplify the statement. He said secrecy was essential. A Coroner's Jury empanelled at the scene Sunday blamed “a person or persons unknown.” The verdict, it was pointed out, was perfunctory and merely filled legal requirements so the bodies could be removed. The Interstate Commerce Commission was expected to begin a lengthy inquiry this week-end. There also was a possibility that the Nevada Public Service Commission likewise would inquire into the wreck, but Chairman Charles Sexton made plain that the second investigation would depend entirely upon the evidence presented at the first. Meanwhile workmen continued to probe through the wreckage of the four most badly damaged of the six cars which plunged into the river, which is practically dry at this time of year. It was believed that amd other. 24 hours must elapse before the steel cars could be sufficiently broken up to end all doubt as to the possibility of further victims.

TWO THANKSGIVINGS POSSIBLE FOR 1939

geles, “the President can oblige by changing Saturdays to some other day.” There have been 35 games scheduled for Thanksgiving, many of them classics in the East and South. Storekeepers ' generally approved the plan. It is a tradition among business men that advertising and display of Christmas goods is withheld until after Thanksgiving. This would have left only 20 Christmas shopping days this year. And at Seattle, Wash., Frederick E. Baker, president of H. G. Brace Calendar Co., said the date changing would “raise hell” with his business and cost calendar makers from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000. They said most of the 1940 calendars were already printed. Every President since Abraham Lincoln has proclaimed the last Thursday of November Thanksgiving Day, although prior to that, the dates varied and some Presidents did not designate the day at all. : The women’s division of the Atlantic City Chamber of Commerce today asked President Roosevelt, while he was about it, to change the date of the Thanksgiving holiday from Thursday to Friday, in order

Shows Massachusetts Still Republican

With McNutt a

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP, Director, American Institute of Public Opinion RINCETON, N. J., Aug. 15— Massachusetts, one of the large states to elect a Republican Governor last November, is still predominantly Republican in politica) sentiment, judging by a special erican Institute of Public Opinion survey just completed in the state. Traditionally Republican in national politics, the Bay State stood out against the Democratic landslide of 1932 but gave Roosevelt a majority of its votes in 1936. Today the Institute finds a Republican trend in the state expressed in the replies of representative Massachusetts voters to the question: “What party would you like to see win the Presidential election in 19402” > Want Republicans to Win... 55% Want Democrats to Win .... 45° The state elected its present Republican Governor, Leverett Saltonstall, by about the same margin— 54 per cent—last November. The favorite candidate for 1940 among Massachusetts Republicans is Thomas E. Dewey of New York. The state's young Republican Senator in Washington, Henry Cabot Lodge, is likewise popular, running even with Senator Vandenberg of Michigan as second choice for 1940. The Governor, Leverett Saltonstall, also received mention by voters but did not poll enough to put him

among the leading seven choices.

the question, “Whom would you like to see elected President in 1940?” were:

Among Democrats in the Bay State, the top choices for 1940 in case Roosevelt does not run for a third term are Vice President John N. Garner and Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt. Mr. Garner is far in the lead. Also prominently mentioned is Alfred E. Smith, the party’s Presidential candidate in 1928. Mr. Smith's popularity in Massachusetts, particularly in Boston, is such as to put him among the leading four Democratic choices in the survey. {

The Massachusetts poll is the seventh in a series of special surveys in states that will cast heavy electoral votes in the 1940 election. Previously sentiment in New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, California, Ohio and Michigan has been reported. In all except Califronia a slight majority of the voters say ‘they would like to see the Republicans win the Presidency.

‘Loyalists Not Republicans

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS : Times Foreign Editor

MADRID, Aug. 15—It was long past - midnight. We were sitting

;loutdoors under an arbor, listening

to a seductive tango, watching dark-eyed girls and uniformed men dancing as only the Spanish can dance. Sie Suddenly, on a bar of music, eve erybody ' stopped—diners, dancers, even the waiters. It was as if a movie film had ceased to turn. Then, as the orchestra resumed playing, everybody, without exception, raised his hand in the Fascist salute. : : Thus, to the tune of the new Falangist anthem and a chorus of Viva Franco’s, another day in new Spain came to an end. ; The scene of course was no sure prise. The world has long known that a Franco victory would mean a more or less Fascist Spain. But what surprises me is that both North and South Americans here

JANET GAYNOR WED T0 DESIGNER ADRIAN

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 15 (U. P.).— Actress Janet Gaynor and Gilbert Adrian, the dress’ designer whose adoration took the form of making Miss Gaynor the film colony’s fashion plate, were honeymooning today in Mexico. They eloped from Hollywood to Yuma, Ariz, and were married yesterday, afterward boarding a train for Mexico City. Miss Gaynor gave her age as 30 and Adrian as 35. The two met and fell in love at a Hollywood party. The designer, who fashions the clothes Greta Garbo, Myrna Loy, Joan Crawford and Hedy LaMarr wear on the screen, set himself to a labor of love in making the petite Miss Gaynor the smartest-dressed woman in Hollywood. : When they stood before Justice of Peace Ed M. Winn in Yuma yesterday, Miss Gaynor was wearing one of her flance’s masterpieces, a blue and white polka dot sports dress with red sash and scarf. Miss Gaynor and Adrian had been formally engaged more than a year.

“Beyond the Pyrenees few realize what the civil war was all about— even the historians.” The truth of that remark is now beginning to penetrate. Certainly the average American at home sine cerely believed that the Loyalists were fighting in defense of republican principles; democracy and civil liberty. This is emphatically denied here by Spanish liberals. They contend that they long ago tried in vain to warn the world, ese pecially in democratic America, Britain and France, of the changed character of the Spanish Republic after 1936. Long ago, Dr. Maranon and many others opposed to Gen. Franco warned that the Franco rebellion was not against a liberal republic but against “men with fur caps and goatees,” and against Government officials who attended council meete ings “presided over hy portraits of Lenin.” U. 8.
