HITLER TO SEE MUSSOLINI ON TURKISH PACT

Rome Is Uneasy Over New Treaty; Berlin and Moscow Angry.

By JOE ALEX MORRIS. United Press Foreign News Editor

An angry Adolf Hitler today whs mending fences to offset the British and French victory in lining up Turkey on .their side. His task was made easier py the fact that the Turkish agreement to aid the Allies in case the war spread to the Mediterranean caused indignation in Moscow and uneasiness in Rome. Fuehrer Hitler resumed conferences with Baron Franz von Papen, his Ambassador to Turkey, and it was expected that after another con-| ference Baron von Papen would re-| turn to Ankara with fresh instructions governing German's relations with Turkey. District Leaders Called

Herr Hitler, it was said, intends personally to consult Italy’s Premier Benito Mussolini as soon as he has completed his analysis of the new treaty. Meanwhile all Nazi Party district leaders from over Germany were at Berlin on Herr Hitler's cail for “important consultations” beginning tonight. Nothing was being said in Berlin regarding Herr Hitler's conferences with Baron von Paben, and the German newspapers had not even mentioned his recall from Ankara. First official “Soviet comment appeared in the newspaper Izvestia - which said that, in negotiating the treaty with Turkey, Britain and France had failed to drive a wedge between Germany and Russia but have succeeded in drawing Turkey into the orbit of the war.

Soviets See Balance Lost

A new Soviet-German trade agreement had been reached in principle, apparently an an answer to the Turkish treaty, it was revealed in Moscow, as about 300 German citizens, arrested as spies in Russia in 1936, were freed. Russia recognized that the treaty creates a new balance of power in the Eastern Mediterranean and warned that as the major Black Sea power, Russia would watch carefully anything relating to the Dardanelles approaches to that sea. The Turks, preparing to ratify the

treaty within a week, gave informal]

warning that unless Russian policies change, Turkey will be drawn closer and closer to the Allied cause,

Pope Makes Protest

The Turks indicated that Soviet persistence in maintaining its alliance with Germany would damage Russo-Turkish friendship, already strained by the breakdown of the Moscow negotiations for a Russo-Turkish pact. Turkey refused to sign with Russia because the demands of the Kremlin conflicted with Turkey’s obligations to thé French and British. His Holiness Pope Pius XII instructed his nuncio to Berlin to protest against the treatment of Catholics in portions of Poland under German occupation. The Vatican received a report listing 117 religious homes and 211 churches that had been closed in the German occupation area. :Pastoral activities of seven bishops had been limited, the report said, and 193 priests and members of religious orders had been arrested on charges concerning politics.

Finnish Hope Rises

. Clarification of and possible settlement of Finland’s relations with Russia were in prospect as a Finnish delegation prepared to- return to Moscow where, on Monday, it will _ submit to the Kremlin a reply to “Russian demands for a “mutual aid” pact. The Finns hoped they would escape Soviet domination. Their hope was based ori the new situation created by the Ankara treaty, pledges of solidarity from Sweden, Norway and Denmark and the interest of President Boosevels in the Baltic situation. Today's warfare was principally on the seas. The British announced that they had driven off with casualties two attacks by German aircraft on convoys in the North sea. They also told the story of the first conflict between a submarine and an armed merchant vessel, say(Continued on Page Three)

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 21 (TU. P.).—Papa and Mamma Console hardly could restrain their tears —tears of happiness—today as they watched little Frankie, aged 20 months, playing inside his well-fenced yard. The Consoles live down by the Alton Railroad tracks. That’s why papa built a stout fence around his cottage when Frankie was old enough to crawl. Yesterday someone left the gate unlatched. Frankie toddled out. Mamma, busy with her housework, glanced out the window when she heard the thunder of an approaching freight. To her

horror she saw Frankie standing awe-struck directly ‘in the path of the locomotive. ’ #" ” ” ENGINEER OBED CLARK of Noblesville, Mo., and fireman Hartford Lewis, 13 N. Traub Ave., and brakeman Lewis Farmer of 302 N. Addison St., both of Indianapolis, saw Frankie about the same time. Engineer Clark clamped on the brakes, while Mr. Lewis jumped from the cab and ran toward the child. But the train outdistanced him. There wasn’t time to stop the freight. Mr. Farmer swiftly edged

a gamble. He might reach the cowcatcher in time to snatch the baby up before it crushed him. Too, he might lose his grip and fall beneath the wheels. But he wasn’t counting risks. Frankie stood spellbound as the train roiled inexorably toward him. With a last spurt over the front of the engine Mr. Farmer found he had no time to set himself to lift the baby. Timing his movement perfectly he gave Frankie a shove between the tracks. 2 x =n

SHIP IS BLOWN UP: LOOSE MINE BLAMED

Five Cling to Spar After Wreckage Is Tossed High.

STEGE, Island of Moen, Oct. 21 (U. P.) —Islanders reported this afternoon that they had seen a ship of undetermined nationality blown up by a mine in Fakse Bay. A Danish patrol plane, returning to Stege, ordered all available boats out to search for five men seen clinging to a spar. -Shore watchers said they saw the ship burst into flames. The wreckage was hurled high into the air. This was followed by the noise of the explosion. The ship sank within two or three minutes, they said. Rescue efforts were fraught with danger because of the fact that Fakse Bay is studded with uncharted mines. So close together are the mines planted that they often exploded through contact. The mine is on| the “Great Circle” route from Los Angeles to '| Yokohama. It is believed to have broken away from the Russian submarine base at Vladivostok.

Second Ship Buckles Last Monday some 400 miles off Bordeaux, the Independence Hall picked up an SOS from the Yorkshire. She rushed to the position given and found the City of Mandalay standing by the stricken vessel. Capt. C. J. MacKenzie, master of the Independence Hall, was about to exchange the usual- pleasantries by radio and continue his course when he saw the second ship buckle in the water. She seemed about to break in two. She had been torpedoed by a then unseen submarine and nine minutes later she plunged.

She was the freighter, City of Mandalay.

Submarine Breaks Surface

Capt. MacKenzie lost no time. His boats were over the side in a twinkling, aiding the boats of the City of Mandalay and the Yorkshire in transporting the survivors to the Independence Hall. While this was going on the submarine broke surface, and ran up close to the American freighter, on whose sides were painted great American flags. ’ An officer, apparently the commander, was on the conning tower bridge. He called up to Capt. MacKengzie. “Thank you,” he said in good English. He seemed to have been worried about the fate of the survivors. The conning tower was

NEW YORK, Oct. 21 (U. P.).—The liner President Harding, almost foundered by a hurricane-driven wave 100 feet high, rode out the worst North Atlantic storm in 25 years to make port today. She had limped through seas churned into mountains of water by 110-mile-an-hour winds. But it was that one huge wave that heeled the ship over to a dangerous angle, swept one man overboard, and slammed passengers against walls with a violence that injured 73 men and women. The Harding looked like a hospital ship when she came in two days late. Ambulances rushed the most; seriously injured from the dock to hospitals. Capt. James ‘E. Roberts revealed that he had sent thre 14,000-ton liner into the midst of the storm unwittingly. The war-time paucity of weather reports and storm warnings at sea had operated to Keep the

“We had been suffering from a scarcity of weather reports because of the reluctance of belligerent ships to give reports,” he said wearily. “From the reports available to me, I thought the storm was passing well to the north and west of us,” he said. Likewise unaware ' of impending danger last Tuesday night were the passengers and crew. Shaken and uncomfortable by the ride through the hurricane, all were unprepared for the wave that struck the liner portside, sweeping everything along with it. The ship almost foundered with the. impact of tons of water that heeled over to an angle of 39 degrees. Passengers were rolled across decks, out of their chairs and bunks, like feathers in a wind.

PUSH TRUCK WAR WITH WISCONSIN

State to Arrest All Drivers Who Fail to Display -=~-~indiana-Plates.

The arrest of every driver of a Wisconsin truck found operating in Indiana without an Indiana license was ordered today -by -State Police Capt. Walter Eckert. The order was the latest development’ in the Indiana-Wisconsin truck license war and retaliation for the arrest of Indiana drivers in Wisconsin. A Wisconsin driver was arrested at Lafayette yesterday and held until his firm purchased Indiana licenses. “Several Indiana drivers have been arrested’ by Wisconsin police and since that state has refused to sign a reciprocity agreement with Indiana we'll have to retaliate with wholesale arrests,” Capt, Eckert said. The Indiana Commission on Interstate Co-operation recently announced reciprocity negotiations with ‘Wisconsin officials had failed and that the only alternative was “arrest of Wisconsin drivers.” Reciprocity agreements have been signed with other states, including Kentucky, which had fought with Indiana over truck licenses for more than 10 years. The agreement with Kentucky was signed by Indiana officials this week. Motor License Bureau officials here said Wisconsin officials explained they couldn’t enter into a license agreement with Indiana because of prohibitive state laws.
