U.S. IGNORANT “OF HITLER PLAN

Daring for Nazis to Ask Good Offices.

{ | By LYLE C. WILSON : United Press Staff Correspondent

‘WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. ~The capital today is the center of direct action to protect American neutrality rather than a listening post for Europeah peace proposals. | - President Roosevelt and Secretary . of State Cordell Hull are the men who would be approached. if the United States were chosen as a neu4ral power to participate in a peace effort. Both insist they have no ore knowledge of a Nazi or other peace than could be obtained by any careful reader of American newspapers. : _ The consensus here is that the Tnited States Government is not likely to put its prestige behind any peace proposal foreseeable under existing circumstances. If peace or armistice suggestions came from any source in a form which offered reasonable hope of ending the hostilities, the situation here probably would be changed.

Reason Must Be Good

But the promise of results would have to be a persuasive one to overcome the obstatcle confronting any Administration which undertook what might be viewed here as “an entanglement in European affairs.” Speculation whether an effort would be made to make the United States a peace proposal channel from Germany to the Allies de‘veloped when Moscow reported the Nazi-Communist intention to call ‘upon an unidentified major neutral power in a prospective move designed to end the war. That neutral (power might be either Italy or ‘the United States. Some advantages might accrue to Germany from making the United States the channel of approach. From the standpoint of diplomatic mechanics, the United States Em‘bassy in Berlin would be a normal ‘medium through which the German " :Government might address either Great Britain or France because the ‘United tates has taken over French ‘and British interests in the German gapital.

Machinery Available

To utilize the American Embassy for a peace appeal would be a ges‘ture of sorts of, friendship toward the United States even though our Embassy merely were requested to act as messenger agency in delivering a German proposal to Paris and London. Diplomatic usage scarely would permit the Embassy to refuse such a task. . But if the involvement went further, grave questions of policy would be raised here. There has been no intimation that Mr. Roosevelt is ready to accept responsibilities of that kind under existing conditions in which both the British and. French Governments unofficially indicate their rejection of peace which would validate all that has taken place in the past four weeks. Some observesgdoubt that Fuehrer Hitler would choose the United States as participant in any peace parley. Mr. Roosevelt's public utterances, including some of his direct appeals to Herr Hitler, are reported here to add up in Nazi estimation to unfriendly and un‘called for criticism of the German Government.

Would Be Daring

Premier Benito Mussolini, however, is a partner with Herr Hitler in the ‘Berlin-Rome axis if not in the Moscow-Berlin partition of Poland. He might be described jas a friendly neutral in present in| present circumstances if Mr. Roosevelt were regarded as a neutral who is not friendly. A German bid for American participation in a peace effort, therefore, generally would be regarded as a daring bid for popular sympathy in the United States whereas an invitation to Mussolini might be construed as a safety first move to insure the utmost sympathy for Nazi aims in any action undertaken by a neutral toward ending Europe’s war. Speculation has raised the question whether the United States and Italian Governments and the Vatican might join in a peace move independent of the belligerents. The answer to that appears to be: No American peace move unless there is, some prospect of success. And that does not seem likely in view of British insistence ~ that Hitlerism must be destroyed in Germany.

SWEDEN PROTESTS TORPEDOING OF SHIP

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Sept. 30 (U. P.).—The Swedish Minister at Berlin ‘has been instructed to pro--test to the German Government against the torpedoing of the Swedish merchantman Nyland. The protest was | based on the ground that the Nyland, a neutral ship, was bound for Antwerp, Belgium, a neutral port, and that its torpedoing was in violation of international law.

Block's Tea Room Buys

The last chapter in the career of Hoosier Boy II will b2 written next week when the grand champion Indiana steer is served to patrons of Block’s Terrace Tea Room. Hoosier Boy II, an Angus steer, was purchased at auction for $1.75 a pound, $1 a pound more than any other grand champion had. ever brought. The animal, which was born Sept. 6, 1938, and which weighed 785 pounds, was the youngest and lightest steer ever to be awarded the championship. The purchase price of nearly $1400 has been placed in a trust fund for the college education of Frances June Wilbur of Veedersburg, the 15-year-old Attica High School student who raised the steer as a 4-H project. Miss Wilbur and her parents will be present at a special luncheon in

KUHN FAILS TO GET REDUCTION IN BAIL

NEW YORK, 2K, Sept. : 30 (U. P.).— Fritz Kuhn, leader of the GermanAmerican Bund, failed today to have his $50,000 bail reduced after an assistant district attorney said in Supreme Court that- the high bond was due to information so secret it could not be revealed “even at the request of the court.” After the hearing Kuhn was taken back to Tombs Prison to await trial some time next month on charges of stealing $14,000 from the Bund. “I cannot and .will not, even if Your Honor charges me to do so, reveal our information or disclose the source of it,” said Assistant District; Attorney Herman McCarthy to Justice Thomas Noonan. James T. Neary, counsel for Kuhn, asked the court not to treat Kuhn “as they treat people in his own country.”

SHIDELERCASE | ACTION DENED

No Statement Has Been Made.

T.M. ovale, secretary and man-

| [ager of the Indianapolis Better| Business Bureau, today addressed.

an-open letter to U. 8S. District Attorney Val Nolan stating that the Bureau made no statement? Williany

Shideler this week changed his plea frem guilty to not guilty on charges of violating the Natio Securities Act, District Attorney Nolan said “Some mem-

i |Ibers of the Junior Chamber of

i land that the prosecution is a per-

secution and one member of the Better Business Bureau deprecated the prosecution.”

Bureau Seeks Name

Yesterday the Junior Chamber of Commerce also sent a letter to Mr. Nolan, protesting that no one had authority to speak in the case for the Junior Chamber. Mr. Overley asked Mr. Nolan fo give him “publicly or privately the name of that member and I assure you that something will be done about it so far as his membership in the Better Business Bureau is concerned.” He went on to explain that, strictly speaking, a member of the Bureau is one of 650 subscribers, none of which can speak for the Bureau. + Recalls Original Action “We are particularly sensitive about any such statement involving the name of the Better Business Bureau,” he continued, “because the records will show that it was through the Better Business Bureau that the first actual satisfactory complaint was received and transmitted to the Securities Commission, which enabled them tc start the investigation that resulted . . in the present case the government has” against William Shideler and his father, Frederick Shideler. Frederick Shidelér pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to seven years in prison by Judge Robert C. Baltzell. William Shideler’s bail was set by Judge Baltzell at $25,000.
