S5OO,O)O is SOUGHT
TO HELP REFUGEES
Protestants and Catholics
Join to Aid Fleeing
German Christians.

An appeal Ito the heart and con-
science of Christian people" to provide
s500,000 in relief for several thousand
German refugees of Christian faith
now exiled in Europe was issued today
by group of more than $50 proml-
nent Protestant and Catholic clergy
men and laymen.
DR.. S. Parkes Cadman, pastor OF
the Central Congregational Church
of Brooklyn and chairman of the
American Christian Committee for
German Refugees, heads the list OF
signers. The Washington clergymen
who have signed the appeal are Canon
Anson Phelps Stokes OF washington
Cathedral, DR.. w. S. Abernethy OF
Calvary Baptist Church, DR.. Russell
j. Clinchy of Mount Pleasant Con-
gregational Church, DR.. Frederick
Brown Harris of Foundry M. E
Church and Rev. Allen A. Stockdale of
First Congregational Church.
Thousands of Christians Hit.
"Among the victims of the rigorous
and oppressive laws passed by the re-
cent Nuremberg Rechstag against the
Jews are thousands of Christians who
are racially partly Jewish, but reli-
giouslyy Christian" the appeal stated
The victims of Nazi intolerance
and injustice include two categorieE
of Christians, many of whom are dis
tinguished scholars The first i,
made up of Gentle Christians who
through their championing OF tht
rights of Christian conscience, theil
opposition to war, their friendship fol
the outraged Jew, or other 'offense,
have been driven from their home
land. The second is made up o.
Jewish Christians, or partly Jewish
Christians, or Gentle Christians WHIT
have married non-Aryans."
5000 in Dire Need.
Most Christians have hitherto re-
mained indifferent to the plight o
this class OF refugees, the clergymer
said. Some 5000 of these victims arr
in such plight that unless speedy hell
can be secured. they will not survive
the Winter in exile.
The American Christian Commit
tee, at the request of James G. Nc
Donald. League of Nations high com
missioner for German refugees, haI
organized to raise $500,00 for the re-
lief work. Contributions should b.
sent to 287 Fourth avenue, New Yorl
City, the quarters of the American
Christian Committee for German
refugees.

COnuicts Rehearse
Job Plays, Hoping
For Radio Booking
Joliet Inmates Planning
Series to Prove That
Crime Doesn't Pay.

By the Associated Press.
JOLIET, Ill, December 26.-Some
OF the "jobs" which put Joliet Peni-
tentiary convicts where they are today
were considered for re-enactment over
the air.
The idea is to give the prisons radio
broadcasts a serious twist and mes
sage-that crime doesn't pay.
To prove it, home-talent convicts
will present series of playlets de-
picting holdups and assorted crimes
which didn't.
1t Is expected that the series will
win over the programs critics, like
the man who said the hour should be
called the voice of murder" Most
OF the $500 fan letters, prison officials
declared, have been complimentary.
The grooming convicts-music has
featured the programs SO far-get
their fan mail after censors read it
carefully to see it does not contain
hacksaw blades, poison, dope or ex-
plosives.
The stars are anonymous. They
work hard, spurred by ambition to get
on a national network. Once the
"bronze baritone" nearly disappointed
his public by getting sent to solitary
confinement. Guards paroled him
until after the performance. He was
charged with stealing weiners from
the prison commissary.

row Wilson to preserve peace and pro-
tect small nations, must die If 1t does
not succeed in bringing Mussolini to
reasonable terms.
Plan Rejected by League.
Here should be recorded the amaz-
ing Franco British peace proposals,
which would have dismembered Ethi-
opia and awarded big slices Of the
country to Mussolini as the price Of
peace. These terms. which raised q
worldwide storm of protests, were
promptly thrown out by an indignant
League Of Nations. The public reac-
ton to what was characterized as
offering II Duce reward for aggres-
sion all but caused the simultaneous
downfall of both the French and
British governments. Indeed, Premier
Laval of France is still struggling with
the crisis at home.
4. Japan's support, military and
otherwise, of an autonomous North
China. This move is claimed by many
Chinese to be merely the first step by
Japan towards annexation Of this rich
and populous territory, to be added to
Japanese controlled Manchoukuo. II
this be true. it not only represents
further japanese territorial expansion
at the expense of China, but is an
other challenge to Western interests In
the Far East. especially those Of the
United States and Great Britain.
Campaign Against Jews.
5. Germany's continued drive to
eliminate Jews from the life of the
nation. This is one of the most amaz-
ing and far-reaching experiments of
its kind in history. With this must
be included Hitler's program Of bring
ing the churches, both Catholic and
Protestant, under the complete domi-
nation of the state and rigidly restrict

REDS ARE ALARMED

MOSCOW, December 26 GR.-The
Central Committee of the Communist
party. in resolution yesterday, de-
clared foreign spies had penetrated the
party in the guise of political emigres,
and demanded increased vigilance to
keep out hostile elements.
All members of the party, it was an
nounced, will be required to turn in
their membership documents between
February l and May l for a general
check-up.
The committee, of which Josef Sta
lin is secretary general, went on record
as favoring an increase in the required
output of workers in all fields in accord
with the principles of the Stakhanof
movement, recently announced
method of increasing production
through what is called "rationaliza-
ton of movements"

10. The institution of the trans-Pa-
cific airmail service between San
Francisco and Manila, with inter-
vening stops at the American posses
sions Of Hawaii and Midway, Wake
and Guam islands. Not only does
this represent an epochal stride in
communications, but it provides the
nucleus for the creation Of strategic
aerial war machine, should the occa-
sion arise. Japan already has ex-
pressed worry over the situation.
Along with the above events should
be mentioned the death Of Marshal
Pilsudski. Polish dictator and creator
of the powerful new Polish Army; the
death Of Gen. Juan Vicente Gomez
for IS years iron-handed dictator oi
Venezuela, previously land stricken
with revolutions and poverty, but fol

50-year-old war between Bolivia ano
Paraguay in the Green He'll Of the
Chaco, and the Egyptian political up
heaval, attended by bloody riots
against British domination, forcing
England to grant return to constitu-
tional government.
Dramatic Stories.
From the dramatic and human In.
terest standpoint, the list of events
would vary considerable from the
above. some Of which lacked thrill
for the American newspaper reader
despite their importance. Here is the
human interest list:
l. The o-Ethiopian war, OF
course, with those outstanding and
colorful figures, Emperor Halle SelaSsie
and MuSsolini.
2. Continuation of the almost daily
Evening star., 1935-12-26

against their white overlords, and a
challenge to Britain's domination OF
the Mediterranean and consequently
a threat to the security OF the Brit
ish Empire.
2. Hitler's scrapping of the Yer
saille Treaty, with the announcement
of a quadrupling of the German
Army and naval increases. This move
resulted in a universal armament
race which involved even the United
States.
8. The outlawing of Italy and the
application of punitive sanctions by
the League of Nations as the result OF
the Italo- Ethiopian war. Such con-
certed action against an alleged ag-
gressor was unique in history. Many
experts hold that the League, created

pansion, and Japan and Italy have
actually undertaken it. the former IN
China and the latter in Ethiopia;
Japan and Germany have resigned
from the League Of Nations, and Italy
was outlawed by the League on a
charge of armed aggression against
Ethiopia.
Ten Principal Events.
The ten principal events abroad
would seem to the writer to be the
following:
l. The Ethiopian war. The
great Mussolini has outgrown the mar
row confines of Italy and is reaching
out for new worlds to conquer. We
have here the possibilities of a Euro
pean and perhaps a world war, the
danger of uprisings of colored races
Evening star., 1935-12-26

ing their operations and prerogatives.
6. The establishment of the Philip
pine Commonwealth preparatory to
absolute independence. These islands,
rich in natural wealth and Of vast
importance strategically, may easily
become o bone Of fierce contention
among great naval powers. Japan, OF
course, looms on the horizon, In the
view of many observers.
Z. Mussolini's Inauguration on Feb
ruary i Of compulsory military train
ing and service for all italian males
between the ages of 8 and 80. Ofhcers
In uniform are entering the schools
to instill into the minds of little lads
of the Misunderstanding age a mill
taristic spirit and impart knowledge
of warfare. Such Spartan move on
the part of a major power, II carried
to its ultimate conclusion, must have
tremendous influence on world his
tory.
Restoration of King George.
8. The restoration of King George
of Greece to his throne. This tends
to strengthen other monarchies, some
of which have been exceedingly shaky,
and may have q marked effect In In
fluencing further restorations, as in
Austria, for example. Also King
Georges apparent friendship for
Britain and France may act as a
drag on the Eastern extension Of Ital-
ian influence in the Mediterranean.
A vital question, Of course. is whether
King George possesses sufficient lead
ership to maintain himself as ruler.
8. The London Naval Conference.
This meeting of the great powers to
try to limit the sizes of navies was
generally expected to fail, owing to
Japan's demand for parity with Amer
lea and Britain. Failure would be
the starting gun for great naval ar
mament race, costing untold billions

|ARAM 5, CRONK
 | HAS RIGHT DOPE
Lifts Blazing Stove Out- side, Saving Cigar Store
 Interior From Flames

The best thing to do with fire is to take it outside and let it burn to its hearts content. Such is the belief of Abram S. Cronk, who has cigar making establishment at 1909 West Main street, and the practice of that belief this morning saved lis place from going up in smoke.
 MT Cronk, whose little factory is in a one-story frame structure owned by A. Burr, went into his place a little aftre 8 o'clock this morning to find that a fuel oil stove, lighted few minutes earlier by his wife, was merrilly blazing by and threatening to set the whole interior on fire.-
 Calmly lifting up the stove, MT Cronk carried it outside and de- posted it gently on the sidewalk. When firemen of Engine Il arr rived they found both MT Cronk and the stove outside.
 The stove suffered the only dam age.
