BUND OPEN FOR 90 MILLIONS,
WITNESS SAYS
Leader of Group Testifies Hitler Picture .at Camp Has Been Removed.
NEWARK, N. J, Oct. 2 (U.P.).— The German-American Bund has about 10,000 members in the United States, but there are 20,000,000 persons of German extraction in the country who are eligible for membership, a Bund leader told the Dies Committee . investigating un-Amer-ican activities here today. : The witness, August Klapprott, manager of the Bund's Camp Nordland at Andover, N. J., said that every member of the organization was an American citizen, that the Bund uncompromisingly opposed Communism, and that a prime objective was to oppose the “boycott” on German goods in this country. One Race, Is Slogan
Until a-year ago, Klapprott said, a large picture of Adolf Hitler hung in the recreation hall at Camp Nordland, with a smaller picture of George Washington. The Hitler picture has been removed, he testified. A slogan printed on the wall, he said, reads: ne “One race, one society, one leader.” Asked what that means, he said: “By that was meant that all the German-Americans should combine under one leader and that was the purpose of our organization. We felt we could get somewhere under a united leadership.” Need for Revenue Told
The witness admitted that newspapermen and photographers were kept under guard when the Bund and the Ku-Klux Klan held a joint meeting in August. : : He said one reason for permitting the Klan to meet at the camp was that the Bund needed the parking fees at 25 cents per car and also revenue from sale of refreshments.

BUTSCH WANTS OUT, CLAIMS HE IS SANE
William Ray Butsch, under indictment for the murder of Mrs. Carrie Lelah Romig in January, 1939, today sought his release from the crirninal insane division of the Indiana State Prison. In a petition filed yesterday in Criminal Court here by a local attorney, the eccentric former carpenter asked that he .be returned here for a hearing on restoration of sanity. Butsch was committed to the prison insane division May 8, 1939 by Special Judge Omar O’Harrow, before he was scheduled to go on trial on the indictment. Mrs. Romig was found slugged to death in her apartment Jan. 17, 1939. Several thousand dollars worth of jewels, which were missing when the victim was found, were recovered in pawn shops at Anderson and

CANADA'S WAR MACHINE IS PUT INTO HIGH GEAR
Early Preparations Begin to Show Result; Building For Long Haul.
This is the first of several dispatches based on a tour of Canadian defense centers, in which 80-odd American newspapermen were guests of Canadian publishers and officials.
By LEE G. MILLER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-~Canada’s war effort was a rather leisurely business until a few months ago.
1The disaster of Dunkirk and the
fall of France changed all that. Today an energized nation {is gaining momentum in its drive to prepare the assistance that England must have if Hitler and his allies are to be conquered eventually. In a tour of various key points in the Canadian military and industrial scheme, and in conversations with scores of Canadian statesmen, soldiers, technieians and publishers, I met only one person who professed a belief that Hitler could win in the end. This was a German prisoner, the spokesman for some 600 of his captured compatriots housed in an ancient fort at Kingston.

can be done in a hurry. On the contrary, they are working for the long pull—building toward, say 1942. The start /has been slow. Eng-

They learned that Canada is now manufacturing airplanes of 12 types, including the famous Huricane. Canada relies entirely on the United States and England for aircraft engines, however. | They were told ‘that Canada is ‘producing tanks and trucks and gun tractors, anti-tank guns and Bren Machine guns. anti-aircraft guns, dozens of corvettes for the navy; and so on. Above all, they noted that the

the vast empire drive for air power in. which Canada is the key, has just about completed the early stage wherein all or most of the progress has been “plowed back” to perfect and enlarge the instruction force, and that the graduation of student airmen for shipment overseas will commence this month. The commonwealth plan envisages the eventual training of some 25,000 airmen a year in Canada--pilots, air gunners and observers. ®
Big Construction Program
For many things, obviously, Canada must continue to rely on he United States. In that connection, I was told repeatedly by Canadian officers that they would rather see the United States maintain its neutrality than enter the war—“for the present, anyway”—so that we could continue supplying them . rather than divert our stream of production to our own wartime needs. The Dominion has in progress a $225,000,000 plant-construction program—mostly for the manufacture of guns, ammunition, explosives,
| aircraft and steel.

4-Point School
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 (U. P). —Seventy-five per cent of the 1,7500,000 boys and girls who leave high school or college each year have not been prepared properly for work and have no idea of what kind of job to seek, the American Youth Commission said today.
The conclusion was reached after a survey which will be fully described in a book, “Matching Youth and Jobs,” by Howard M. Bell, to be published Oct. 15. The book is a joint report on a survey recently completed by the commission and the Employment Service Division of the Social Security Board. Baltimore, St. Louis, Providence and Dallas, and the suburban and rural areas around each were the locales of the study. The study points out that boys and girls leaving school have 18,000 different jobs to choose from. The commission said that the study further confirms its five-year study of job problems and youth. Its major conclusions are: Every community should provide in its high schools realistic vocational guidance and eventual job placement. : School curricula should be re-

High schools should not try the work of specialized technical schools. Parents, pupils and schools should remember that only one pupil in five plans to go to college, and that working with the hands is a type of culture, too.

LONDON TURNS TO BASEMENTS
Restaurants Offer Meal and Mattress for $3.50 To $4.
By EDWARD W. BEATTIE JR. United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. 2.—Basements in the fashionable West End have become common ground for persons trying to sleep safe from German bombs and those seeking night life. In the underground dining room of one large apartment hotel, guests in siren suits—gray flannels and padded silk negligees—start pouring in about the time diners have been served their dessert. They stand around until diners have their coffee. Then begin spreading bedding
on the floor and casting meaningi§
glances at the door. Several restaurants now give a
“toss down” for the price of a meal
—$3 to $4. If the house furnishes a mattress or cot, and blankets and pillow, the price may be $1 extra, but some places offer a combined
“alr-raid blue plate” of dinner and |§
bunk for $3.50 or $4. In the cellar restaurant where I dined last night, the orchestra
