DEATH CLAIMS
SANTA CLAUS

SANTA CLAUS, Ind, April 29.-It
would have been a thankless task,
trying to explain to any of Jim
Martins million or more youngsters
today that Santa Claus is dead.
For % years their letters, trust
ingly mailed to Santa Claus-North
Pole" came to him by the thou
sands at Christmas time. He tried
to answer every one.
James F. Martin, 60year-old
postmaster and patriarch of this
little Hoosier hamlet, died yesterday
after a paralytic stroke.
The Is inhabitants of Santa Claus,
given it's name by a village wit
so years ago, said that perhaps
he didn't look like Santa, but he
certainly lived up to the trust placed
in him by children all over the
world.
Received Scores of Letters
With the aid of charitable or
CARNATIONS and private citizens Mr.
Martin tried to arrange it so they
received the gifts they asked.
Some of those letters would tear
your heart out" Mr.. Martin often
said.
A large and jovial man, he used
to sit on the steps of his country
store housing the postoffice and talk
about my youngsters"
ITT1oo,o ctroIyo fT4-O
weeks ago, paralyzing his left side,
scores of letters came urging him
to get we'll.
"He was so overjoyed by them-we
had to read each one to him-that
he showed considerable improve
ment last week." his son Paul ex-
planned.
Supported by Parents
Born and reared in the hills near
here, Mr.. Martin fought desperately
in 1882 when the government
thought the Santa Claus postof-
flee should be discontinued for
economy.
Parents by the thousands backed
up Santa Claus Martins pro-
tests.
Two electrically operated ma
chimes capable of pCstmarking 40
900 letters an hour were installed
and a corps of extra clerks were
sent here at holiday time. The let
tiers bearing childish scrawls were
Mr.. Martins. The clerks handled
those from adults who wanted to
have their Christmas mail post
marked from Santa Claus"
Mr.. Martins task was made doub-
ly difficult by the fact that no rail-
road runs through the village. The
bullying sacks of mail had to be
hauled by truck to and from Lin
coin City u miles away.

Captain Erwin Washer, German
naval attache, visited Admiral Sir
Ernie Chatfeld and submitted orally
Germany's proposals for the agenda
Of the conference.
He also announced the personnel
of the delegation which Adolf Hitler
will send here about the middle of
May.
1t was said that the new sub
marines would use hydrogen COM
bined with fuel oil for surface pro-
pulsion and hydrogen and oxygen
for submerged propulsion, thereby
eliminating the weight of heavy
electric batteries.
1t was reported also they would be
capable of delivering attacks from
unprecedented depths, out of the
reach of present anti-submarine
craft and their bombs-an innova-
ton which the hydroplane, perfected
by the Germans for underwater
listening, has facilitated.
There were surmises that twelve
250-ton submarines which reliable
information said Germany was pre-
pared to build would be used for
training purposes while more power
full ones were being built.
Ready by July
Experts estimated that the dozen
pocket" submarines might be COM
missioned late in July. Information
here was that Germany has manu-
featured the parts for the sub
marines and that the command to
assemble them had been given.
Even these baby" submarines,
naval men believed, would be for
midable weapons.
The cabinet was preparing to dis
cuss Germany's program as mean
ing her re-emergence as naval
power. The government was ready
to consult the dominions.
Foreign naval attaches today
flooded the Admiralty with inquiries
regarding Germanys notification to
the British naval attache at Berlin
of the prospective building.
Baltic Sea Is Scene
German naval experts soon to
open German BRITISH naval nego-
tiations despite the fact that Adolf
Hitler. in planning to build subma-
rines, has scrapped the arm and air
force clauses.
There was conjecture here
whether, because OF the submarine
plan. Britain might invoke the "es-
calator" clause of the London treaty
governing auxiliary warships. This
clause enables the signatorieS in

Harlem Conditions Are
Growing Worse

New York, N. Y.-CNA-Con-
ditions facing the Negro in New
York are infinitely worse than
those which confronted him.. . f.
fifteen years ago, Frederick Ker-
nochan, white, admitted in de-
livering the annual report here of
the New York Urban League. Ker-
nochan is the chairman Of the
executive committee Of the
League and Chief Justice Of Spec
ial Sessions Court.
Mentioning that overcrowding
and the lack of adequate recrea-
tional and convalescent facilities
were responsible for the March
10 outbreak in Harlem, he stated
that "The Negro in New York is
not any more a law breaker than
others"
He Immediately followed this
statement with a thinly yelled at
tack against the white foreign
born section of New York's popu-
lation.
"He; the Negro is probably
much more patriotic than many
Of our foreign groups" Kerno-
chan declared.
According to the report a great
influx of Negroes to New York is
expected from the southern states.

Negro Women Demand
Names on Jury Lists

Birmingham, Ala.,-CNA-The
county officials here were very
much disturbed last week when
a group of Negro women appear

ed that their names be placed on
the jury list.
Circuit court clerk Andrews
put them off by telling them that
no action could be taken on the
matter until the Alabama legislat-

The demand of the women was
based on the Supreme Court de-
cision reversing the Scottsboro
death verdicts, forced by the ma
tion-wide mass protests under the
leadership Of the international
Labor Defense.
The court held that the inten-
tional and systematic exclusion of
Negroes from Alabama juries vio-
