Potocki Quoted

The White Book quoted Ambassador Potocki as reporting { in part from ‘Washington Nv. | | 21 as follows:

“Bullitt spoke of Hit] er ‘with great vehemence and hate. | He said that only strength, and that at the end of a war, could in| future end Germany's insane expansi n. ; “He stated that the United States, England and France must|arm) tremendously in order to face German power, and that when the moment was ripe 8 last ects could be Sou ght vale I 4Bullitt stated that the dethocracies needed two yeals |more for Meanwhile | | Germany would continue its exp: sion eastward. “He said the atopic: wished for martial | conflict) between Germany and 6 Soviet Russia which might subject Germany to a long, enervating| war.

e. “wAsked whether the United States|

would participate in pu a war, Bullitt replied: “ ‘Undoubtedly, yes. ‘But only if Britain and France move first.’ “He, stated the opinion that United States anti-Naziism and tiHitlerism was so pronounced that a psychosis existed similar to that at the time rior to the declaration of war against Germany| in 1917 | . Many Congressional leaders |expressed resentment at publication of the “Wills paper, 1 and several labeled the allegations “propaganda.” | Chairman Key Pittthan (D. Nev.), of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee termed [the charges “unmitigated falsehood” and declared that jthe purpose of Hitler's Government is to stir/ up opposition to the President and create fear in the minds of our people.” “Congress alone cah declare war, and it isl. not responsible for statements made by our diplomats and will not be influenced by them,” he said. Senator Walter F. George (D. Ga.) said it was “too improbable to commend itself to anyone who knows anything about the circumstances.” Senator Arthur Capper (R. Kas.) said the) report was unreliable and that he wouldn't attach-—any importance to it, and asserted that “it’s intended to impress their own peop ple. ” | - ‘Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla.) termed | the publication “German propaganda. > Holt Disagrees

| But Senator Rush D. Holt (W. Va.), anti- New Deal Democrat, disagreed. | {1 frankly believe that Bullitt did say that,” he said. “In a | ch at Bordeau, he said pract, sally the same thing. » Mr. Roosevelt told his ress conference that he was not acquainted with details of the German paper, but had merely heen apprised of its general contents. He said he had not conferred with Mr. Bullitt regarding the document, but planned to see the envoy before he returns to his Paris post. Mr. Hull's statement said: | “may say most emphatically that neither I nor any of my associates in the Department of State have ever heard of any such conversations as those alleged, nor do we give them the slightest credence. “The statements alleged have not represented in any way at any time, the thought or the policy of the American Government.” |

Peace Hope Called Dim

The White Paper was published Just one day after Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles returned from Europe and reported to Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Hull on his fact-finding tour. | Mr, Roosevelt told his press conference yesterday there was “scant immediate prospect for the establishment of any just, stable and lasting peace in Europe,” but that information obtained by Mr. Welles would “undoubtedly be of the greatest value when the time comes for the establishment of such a peace.” The President emphasized that his pessimism regarding an immediate

nostication of future events as the word “immediate” means just that. He sdded that no one here can foretell what developments may take place abroad, which: presumably would change the present prospects. In discussing Mr. Welles’ visits with the heads of belligerent and neutral European states, Mr. Roose-

organs, commenting | on alleged Polish documents published by the Government, charged today that William C. Bullitt and Joseph P. Kennedy, American ambassadors to France and Great Britain shared responsibility for the European war. An authorized informant said that official quarters awaited American reaction to the documents with interest and that on the United States reaction would depend any effect ond future German-American relations. The influential Hamburger Fremdenblatt, leading the attack on the American | nvoys, |and charging directly that Mr. Bullitt and Mr. Kennedy shared FYponsiblity for the war, said: “It| was their sad work to do everything imaginable to influence Poland and hinder the thought of understanding. |

Molotov Speech Neglected

“The documents above all incriminate Bullitt as the man who can claifn the dubiotis honor of having in the fateful days of March 1939 forced upon still vacillating England an alliance with Poland and thus a war of encirclement against the greater Reich. , . | _ “Bullitt urged a Polish alliance

special powers which he enjoys from Washington he ordered Kennedy to influence Chamberlain (Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain) accordingly.” | All newspapers gave prominence to the alleged documents, and published long editorials commenting on them. | The speech ati Moscow of Visicheslav Molotov, Russian Premier and Foreign Commissar, suffered by contrast. Germans expressed satisfaction with the speech, particularly Molotov’s | reference to contint ed Russo-German friendship. Other quarters, however, saw more significance in Molotov’s emphasis on Russian neutrality. They commented that he used the plain word neutrality whereas Italy, partner in the Berlin-Rome axis, calls itself not neutral ‘but merely nonbelligerent.

Goering’s Paper Impressed

The authoritative newspaper, ‘the National Zeitung of Essen, personal newspaper organ of Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Nazi No. 2, and Adolf Hitler's official heir, said of the Polish documents: “In this connection the fateful role played by the United States envoys who occupied the most important European posts is particularly conspicuous. After a perusal of the Polish documents there can be no doubt that these American representatives used all their influence to worsen the European atmosphere.” Germany’s documents described: alleged meetings between Mr. Bul~ litt and| Juljusz Lukasiewicz, Polish Ambassador to France, and a request. by Mr. Bullitt that Mr. Kennedy, at London, see that Britain entered an alliance with Poland. Authorized sources said that the White Book was not aimed primarily against the United States but was intended rather to “prove” that the Allies were responsible for

generally. “The documents probably will be a very great joke on Roosevelt, especially with the elections coming,” one informant said. el he will not be pleased.”

“neither authorized to make, tor has he made, any commitments involving the Government of the United States, nor was he empowered to offer, and he has not offered, any proposals in the name of this Government.” “He has not received, nor has be brought back to me, any peace proposals from any source,” -he added. He stressed that the information gathered by Mr. Welles in His talks with ‘Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Neville Chamberlain and Edouard Daladier would be regarded as “entirely | confidential by this Government.” The information, he said, relates to the views and policies of the European Governments mentioned” —Italy, Germany, Great Britain and France. On the other hand, he point out, the data collected by elles ‘will be of the greatest Yalue to this Government in the \general

BRITISH STRESS

MOLOTOV'S TALK

Press Believes Reds Will Avoid War; White Book Charges Belittled.

LONDON, March 30 (U. P.)., — British informants indicated today that Britain was more than ready to take President Roosevelt's advice and accept with a grain of salt alleged Polish documents published by Germny.

Great skepticism was expressed regarding the authenticity of the documents and the German “disclosure” was given only minor display in the newspapers in favor of the speech of Russian PremierCommisar Viacheslav Molotov — which the papers hailed as shattering hopes of a German-Italian-Rus-sian agreement. The general impression seemed to be to regard the German documents as| another “fantastic” example of German - propaganda methods with which Britons had "had reason to become familiar.

Stress American Denials Further, the newspapers gave prominence equal to that of the documents themselves to American denials of their authenticity. American ‘Ambassador Joseph P. asked ‘about the ‘documents immediately after their publication, refused comment. Before the documents were disclosed yesterday, Mr. Kennédy had talked for half | an hour with

Viscount Halifax, Foreign Secretary. It was believed that Count Halifax had informed him of the proceedings at Thursday's Allied Supreme War Council meeting here, and that they had also discussed the possible results of Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles's mission to Europe in President Roosevelt's behalf. Happy Over Roosevelt Stand But though slight interest was shown in the German documents, the newspapers put big headlines over their reports of Molotov’s speech. | Headlines expressed jubilance that Russia intend d to keep out of the war. “Hitler's Axis Hopes Shattered,” Headlined the Daily Mail. “Russia Must Remain Neutral,” was the News Chronicle eadiine. “Reds Don’t Want Any More War,” headlined the Daily Mirror. “Bigger Axis Plan Goes own for Last Time; Molotov Snubs Hitler,” said thé Daily Express headline.

preted as confirming earlier indications that the Russo-German approximation = of an “axis” was creaking because of Russian hesitancy in collaborating with Germany. - The Daily Telegraph, regarded as close to the Foreign Office, said in an editorial entitled “Facing Both Ways” that Molotov had appeared alternately as an angel of .peace and a god of war, :

Charles Weaver, night watchman at the Washington - Auto Sales Co., 400 N.

Then he quickly started the car, and drove it through a locked - double door, crashing it. He escaped. Mr. Weaver said a $50 cigaret machine was missing, together with the car. :

MORE CO-ORDINATION IN SAFETY IS URGED

The traffic safety section of the Indianapolis Accident Prevention Council today called a conference of representatives of civic organiza-

Representatives of safety committees of various civic organizations service clubs, the Chamber of Commerce, the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Hoosier Motor Club, and the Indianapolis Safety Education Council are being invited fo “work out some plan whereby everyone interested in traffic safety can co-operate.” The place and day for the meeting have not been selected. Ross Patrick, vice president of the safety section, said: “Under the present set-up, safetyminded presons are clawing the air without being able to get prompt action from any departments of the City government, We must have a plan whereby | ern traffic engineering can be Brought to Indianapolis if the aceident to'l is to be reduced to a degree comparable to sive of other cities of - the same size ”

Saed residents said the gunfire was continuous and that it increased in intensity from noon to about 1 m. The gunfire, they said, sounded more like heavy guns on men o’ war than anti-aircraft batteries. Sylt frequently has -been the objective of British Royal Air Force attacks. In Esbjerg, Denmark, authoritative quarters said they believed the gunfire was target practice.

IS PETERS UNDER MACHINE'S BAN?

‘Hands Off Policy’ Believed To Mean ‘Thumbs Down’ On Ft. Wayne Man.

(Continued from Page One)

here last night, Mr. McNuit both praised and condemned the Hatch Law. He said he favored anything fostering a career service in Government but did not favor curtailing constitutional rights of Government employees any more than those of any other class of citizens. He was greeted with applause when he upheld the right of Government workers to organize but not the right for them to strike. Regarding the McNutt organization attitude toward Mr. Peters, observers here said that if the Indiana FHA Administrator is nominated and elected, the McNutt organization probably would be in for a blackout at the State House. The old wounds caused by Governor McNutt’s ouster of Mr. Peters from the Democratic state chairmanship are festering, they say. So they vastly prefer Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker to the Ft. Wayne man.

McHale Reported Opposed One report received here is that

Frank M. McHale, Democratic na-|

tional committeeman for Indiana and McNutt presidential campaign manager, that Mr. Peters is unacceptable. R. Earl's pal here is Postmaster General James A. Farley and not Mr. McNutt. After visiting Genial Jim [here some months ago, Mr. peters announced that he would not try to upset the McNutt delegation from Indiana, but in other states he was drumming up business for the Farley Presidential candidacy. The net result of this may be that Mr. Farley may have some Hoosier votes from Allen County and elsewhere in the Chicago convention, if and when Mr. McNutt drops out of the race.

State Delegation Pledged

Mr. McNutt, of . course, has pledged the Indiana delegation to President Roosevelt if he wants a third-term nomination. So far as the McNutt henchmen are concerned, they appear ready to deal with the Peters’ candidacy in about the same manner in which they dealt with that of Pleas Greenlee in 1936. In the interim, however, they have had to swallow Senator Frederick VanNuys, to whom they had been vociferously opposed until convention time.

GREEN DENIES

PEGLER CHARGE OF DISHONESTY

‘to Weed Racketeer Out of Union.

EDITOR'S NOTE — President William Green of the American Federation of Labor has asked The. Indianapolis Times to print a series of three articles answering recent columns written by Westbrook Pegler—a request which The Times is glad to comply with. The third of Mr, Green’s articles appears below.

y WILLIAM GREEN Pi American Federation of Labor Westbrook Pegler’s charge that’ the American Federation of Labor condones and protects dishonest unionism is a deliberate falsehood. _ The American Federation of Labor denounces the miserable few who manage to worm. their way into the labor. movement for dishonest purposes and personal ad-| vancement. We call upon our af-|

| fliated unions to root out and ex-

pel any individual found guilty of a betrayal of trust. In addition, we call upon the. constituted public authorities of our cities, states and nation to enforce the law that| applies to all our citizens without fear or favor, The American Federation of Labor is a union of trade unions. It is composed of the following groups of organizations: 106 National and Tabortatibnal Unions, which have 33,744 local unions. , 49 Slate Federations of Labor (including Puerto Rico). - ‘806 City central bodies. 1568 Directly affiliated local trade and Federal labor unions. Four departments, which have 942 local councils.

Association Is Voluntary

The national and international unions, many of which antedate the American Federation of Labor /itself, hold charters of affiliation with the American Federation of Labor which give them full autonomy and full authority to govern their own, internal affairs. Their relation to the A. P. of L. is like’ that of the states to the Federal Government. Their elected officers are responsible to the members of the union, not to the A. F. of L. The officers of the A. PF. of 1. have no legal or constitutional authority to supercede the officers of a national or international union or to give them orders. The A. F. of L. has no power pf compulsion over these unions. Their association with the A. F. of L. is an entirely voluntary one. That is as it should be. The underlying principle of the A. F. of L. is voluntarism. These unions are represented in the annual conventions of the A. F. of L. on the basis of their membership. They can, if they wish, vote to change the Constitution of the A. F. of L. so as to give the central authority police powers over them. They have not done so and they probably will not do so because they are jealous of their independence. They fear dictorship. They reason that in a democratic organization supreme power should be vested in the membership rather than a small group of officers at the top. Under : these circumstances, if control of a national or international union passes into bad hands the American Federation of Labor must rely on the public authorities and the membership of the individual union to correct the situation. True, the other organizations in the A. P. of L. can vote to expel a union from the Federation, but that would punish the members of the union rather than the real culDrits. That is not a cure, but amputation, . Seek to Avoid ‘Dictatorship’

Experience has demonstrated that cases of this kind are extremely rare and that they are quickly remeclied. Crooks cannot get away with it indefinitely in unions any more than in public life. The members of organized labor feel they are capable of governing their own unions. They do not consider it wise to sacrifice self-government to dictatorship for the sake of protection from the possible danger of 'racketeers. : The American Federation of Labor does have power to regulate to some extent the affairs of directly affiliated Federal labor unions, State Federations of Labor and city central bodies. This power is effectively exerted whenever the necessity arises. I challenge Mr. ‘Pegler or anyone else to point out a single case where the A. F. of IL. failed to act against wrongdoing in any of these organizations over which it possesses regulatory powers. Mr. Pegler further charges. that the A. P. of L. demands public prosecution of union offenders in

one breath and then, in the next,|

opposes the current anti-trust campaign against unions conducted by Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold. Says Pegler 100% Wrong The A. F. of L. does oppose this campaign. It will never agree that

| |organized labor comes within the . | [scope of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act which was adopted to break

up corporate and financial trusts. When this law was applied against unions, the A. PF. of L. secured the enactment of the Clayton Act which specifically exempted labor unions fm the provisions of the Sherman ‘The A. F. of L. and its" affiliated unions condemn collusion, price rigging and monopolistic combines between local unions and employers. We insist, however, that such manifestly illegal practices, if they exist, ‘under the properly applicable laws, not the anti-trust laws. We fear, with good reason, that the anti-trust laws can be used as an instrument to destroy organized labor and place it under the thumb of the Federal Government. No legal prestidigitation can ever convince us that workingmen and women associated in a union for their self-protection against the entrenched power of industry and capital constitute a trust ical to the welfare of the nation. ‘President Roosevelt recently declared that most newspaper columnists are wrong 80 per cent of the time.

but they finally aligned themselves with the Administration. Had both voted for the amendment, it would have been adopted, 43 to 42. Senator ‘Schwartz said he would support the O'Mahoney amendment, and Senator David I. Walsh (D.

Mass.), who opposed Senator Pitt-| also was expected to O’Mahoney’s pro-

man’s plah, support Senator posal. ~~ Democratic leaders said, however, that the switches would be offset by the votes of several members who . favored Mr. Pittman’s amendment but would oppose Mr. O’Mahoney’s. Democratic leader Alben W. Barkley predicted defeat for Mr. O’Mahoney’s amendment, as well as for a proposal by Senator Alva B. Adams (D. Col.), to subject the trade pacts to approval by a majority vote of the Senate. “The Adams amendment can’t possibly be adopted,” he said. “If we are going to legislate by a majority vote, it will have to be by a majority of both houses.” Senator George W. Norris (Ind. Neb.), who told the Senate yesterday that Senate ratification would kill the entire program “dead as a doornail,” said” the O'Mahoney amendment-would be “even worse” and would: put Congress “back in the business of tariff logrolling.” “You know it! The House knows it! | God knows it!” he shouted. “The presence of logrolling is-known to everyone.” - Yesterday's vote, one of the closest in the upper chamber since inception of the New Deal, was never in doubt after Senator Donahey and

Schwartz decided to support the

Administration.. Nevertheless, Senators anxiously kept their own tallies as the clerk droned through the roll call. ] Senator Harrison’s face was shiny from perspiration as first one side and then the other moved into the lead. When Vice President John N. Garner rapped his gavel sharply and announced the result, Senator Harrison grinned broadly, pulled out a handkerchief and wiped his brow, When the Senate resumes debate on the legislation ‘Monday, it will have before it an amendment by Senator Pat McCarran (D. Nev.) to prohibit any trade agreement from disturbing excise taxes on imported oil, coal, lumber and copper. A similar proposal was beaten by a narrow margin in the House. Mr. McCarran- and other Westerners predicted the Senate would approve it,

‘TIGER GIRL” TO HANG

FOR MURDER IN TEXAS |

LAKE CHARLES, La. March 30 (U.

Calloway, a tire salesman of Houston, Tex. He picked up two hitch-hikers—Mrs. Henry and Harold F. Burks, 23, near Orange, Tex., on Feb. 14. In a field near here he was forced to take off his clothes, then, while he groveled on his knees praying for mercy, Mrs. Henry shot him through the heart. The jury took six hours to decide hier guilt.

these archers, the dopesters believed, had the height as well as the power, shooting ability and all. around basketball knowled e to take the title. But it was Lapel that| held the favor of some 13,000

to yell for and who usually choose a small team or a small school as their pet. The Bulldogs are no

community of 1140 persons, which qualifies them as the Theopiey choice.” Add to that the fact that the Bulldogs upset such “giants” as Anderson, Alexandria, Shortridge of Indianapolis, Rushville and North Vernon, and you can see that they're a natural. Downstate Indiana, which com-

‘plains yearly about the present

four-team-final setup that usually allows only one southern finalist, pinned its hopes on Coach Polson’s Mitchell Bluejackets. There’s nothing headstrong about these Bluejackets, who prefer to look before they leap, as far as offense is concerned. And on defense they can be a bunch of misers. They showed that in winning the Vincennes semi-final from Wash ington’s smooth Hatchets, 20-19. Mitchell fans also like! to recall that it was such a style that stalled

South Side in its final season game at Jeffersonville, Jeffersonville refused to turn on the green light that evening and edged its upstate visitors, 16 to 13. If there's a mystery team among. the Quality Quartet, it has to be Hammond. The Tigers rolled along during the season ‘with little advance publicity, while the dopesters looked for Whiting, Washington of East Chicago or maybe PFroebel of Gary to emerge as the Calumet representative.

Beat Froebel by One Point

But Mr. Birkett whipped his boys through the sectional and into the regional, where they took Froebel by one point. In the Logansport super-regional the Tigers had little trouble with Riley of South Bend and used the foul line as a successe ful weapon against the host Berries, No matter what has gone before, though, the four coaches have 40 boys ready and keyed for today’s” battle.

Officials? ‘That's Secret

Arthur L. Trester, I. H. 8. A. A, commissioner, wouldn’t drop a word on the officials to work the three games, saying it was best for all concerned that it remain a secret. This year's tourney comes a week later than usual because of an early Easter. The meet originally was scheduled for last week, but the I. H. S. A. A, board of control dee layed it a week after receiving proe tests that the tournament would interfere with observance of Holy Week. Besides the winning team, a Gimble Award winner is to be chosen. This goes to the partici patipng * youth adjudged to have shown -the best mental attitude during the tournament. He will re ceive a medal, while the victorious team will carry away a whopping big trophy and individual medals, The runnersup also will get a trophy and medals, small ones, of course.
