prisoners.
Fischers avowal was published to-
day by the Common Front as part OF
violent campaign to convince Saar-
landers to vote against Hitler.
Had Cells Built.
Fischer, who fell out with the
Nazis after the June purge, said he
personally arranged the camp, had
cells built and bought equipment. for
which he paid with money obtained
from subscriptions.
Charging currency manipulations
in the Saar, Fischer said: Il dis
covered that nearly every leader in
the German front enriched himself
illegitimately by manipulating regis
tered marks, or by larger or smaller
swindles in connection with the send
ing Of Saar children to Germany"
Catholic opposition to the Hitler
regime was intensified in the Saar
today by the Rev. Father Bungarten's
bolt from the German Front"
Foe Of Nazis Now.
Father Bungarten, one of the best
known priests in the territory, re.
signed from the board of the Cath
olic pro-Nazi newspaper Landeszei.

support the Nazis.
The priest was formerly president
Of the Saar branch of DR.. Heinrich
Bruening's Catholic Centrist party
before it was dissolved by the Nazis

allied himself with the anti-Nazi Ger
man Peoples party.

terday ruled that the State is liable
for payment Of Federal taxes on liquor

They were variously reported tc

BUENOS AIRES, December 2s-
Paraguayan and Bolivian troops, esti-
mated at 10000 strong, confronted
one another on q wide front today
apparently for q major engagement
in the Chaco Boreal War.
AS ominous quiet prevailed between
the opposing forces, with contradic-
tory interpretations of their first en-
counter yesterday. Bolivia announced
strong Paraguayan thrusts were re-
pulsed in the wasteland sectors OF
Carandayty, Capirenda and Pucomayo
The Paraguayan press described the
clashes as preliminary skirmishes.

Gen. Estigarnbia. Paraguayan COM
mander-in-chief, has arrayed his
forces for an advance on valuable
Bolivian oil fields beyond villa
Monies.
BOLIVIAN defense Strong.
The Bolivians, determined on q last
ditch stand, have rushed every avail
able reserve to the front. They have
strengthened their defenses until they
regard them as impregnable.
Asuncion advices estimated the
Paraguayan forces at four army corps
Of 10000 men each. Reports from La
Paz indicated reinforcements had
brought the Bolivian strength to ap-
proximately the same figure.
In view Of the time Bolivia has had
to prepare for a general assault, it is
believed any major Paraguayan ad-
vance will encounter powerful opposi-
ton.
Enlist Men 40 Years Old.
Mobilization of all men up to 49
years Of age has brought fresh power
into the Bolivian ranks. La Paz news
papers reported the mobilization had
been strictly enforced, affecting all
reservists, including deputies of the
federal congress and civil employees.
The government has acted to place
the full resources Of the nation be-
hind the defending forces. A general
commodities board has been organ
lied to prevent profiteering in food
and clothing and insure adequate sup
plies for the army. Imports of nom
necessities have been restricted to
maintain the amount Of exchange
available for military purposes.

PITTSBURGH, Pa. December 90
An expectant hush fell over the little
college theater as the curtain rose
slowly. On the stage was smiling
little man, his big head covered with
long, wavy gray hair, and two black
boards completely filled with chalk
written cryptic symbols - symbols
which told story, for those who could
read them, of the cosmic tragedy of
galaxies dissolving in light.
Outside a crowd pressed upon the
locked doors for admittance. Such
was the appearance Of Prof. Albert
Einstein, reputedly the worlds su-
preme intelligence" in a performance
which marked the dramatic high point
of the annual meetings of the Amer
ican Association for the Advancement
Of Science here last night.
1t was such "show" as one might
expect to be thronged in some distant
future when the human brain is far
bigger, for the average man, than it
is today.

MACON BEING GROOMED.
Cruises Improving Efficiency Of Diri-
gibIe, Says Commander.

SUNNYVALE, Calf, December 20
P).-The dirigible Macon Is being
brought to its highest efficiency by
extensive tactical maneuvers with the
United States Fleet and long training
cruises along the Pacific Coast, Lieut..
Comdr. Herbert ". Wiley, skipper of
the sky queen, said today.
One of the most important things
accomplished by the cruises, Wiley
stated, is the greatly expanded area
which the dirigible and its fighting
planes are able to cover.
Formerly the seven small combat
planes carried by the Macon were per-
mitted to fly only few miles from
their mother ship" but Of late this
range has been greatly increased.
One Of the longest flights made by
the Macon took it 1,700 miles down
the coast, to a point 1,200 miles of
the Mexican shoreline.
Efficiency Of the "periScope" aboard
the Macon also has been demonstrated
by observations. The device, techni-
cally known as a Sub cloud observa-
ton car" can be lowered 5000 feet
on cable, enabling an observer to
spot enemy" ships while the Macon
remains in the clouds.
Mobility of the Macon has enabled
1t to spot Navy planes forced down
at sea during maneuvers.
