just south of the present receiving
station and west of the Eleventh Street
Bridge.
Public Works funds are being sought
for the structure, but so far no action
has been taken. AS a result of the
action OF the national association. it
is the hope of the local reservists
that the Navy Department will do
more than mere approval of the
plans and the projects, and will &C
lively seek to have funds allocated
for beginning work on the structure,
which, being directly on the water
front, will give them ample facilities
for handling small boats from their
dock and will provide a place for the
berthing of a destroyer or other ships
which later might be assigned them
for training purposes. They are so
far now from the water front that
when a vessel is temporarily assigned
here for drill purposes, they lose con-
siderable time in going to and from
tn" ship, an important factor when
the drill period is only two hours
once a week.
At the present time they have nc
facilities for drills with small boats
They have a launch here, but 1t Is
hauled out of the water during the
Winter months. but with a dock OF
their own, they could have boat
davits and cranes and put the boats
in the water each drill night and
haul them out when through. They
could get considerable use of them
during the Winter months, particu-
larly on calm days during this period
During period Of extreme cold and
ice in the river, they could confine
training to class room activities.

five MEN KILLED
BY SHIP FUMES

NEW YORK, Nov. 25 G.N.SO.
Fumes from a refrigerating plant
in the hold of the motorShip EN-
pire State, following its arrival at
Brooklyn from Chicago, had today
cost the lives of five men. They
included three stevedoreS, a deck
hand and a delegate of the Long
Shcremens Union. Three other
men, including the second mate,
Joseph Anderson of Chicago, were
seriously affected.
The Empire State had come
through the Great Lakes and the
New York State Barge Canal with
a cargo of canned beer and iced
cherries from Traverse City, Mich.
StevedoreS Swarmed aboard to un.
load the cherries, which were
chilled with solidified carbon di,
oxide.
The men were caught by escap-
ing gas and Succumbed quickly.
The representative of the Long
Shoremen's Union, william Jacobs,
AZ. whp was among the dead, had
descended into the hold to aid in
rescue work before police and fire
department squads arrived with
gas masks.

present act, cannot share in the
benefits of the act, although en-
ployers in their State must pay
such a tax, until State admins
tering law has been enacted.
Reports are current that these
States are preparing to gang up"
during the coming congressional
session and demand participation
in the job insurance benefits.
The fact that some States have
not SSed job insurance pro-
grams, does not effect the old age
benefit plan in those States, the
latter being mandatory section
of the Federal Social Security Act.
Opposition Shown
Already some opposition has
been shown to the registration
program of the board, which is
now in progress, by employers
who have refused to answer ques-
tions asked of them as to the
number of employees on their pay
rolls, and others have returned
their questionnaires under pro-
test"
Under the present act, accord
ing to Mr.. Winant'S interpreta-
tion, there is no means of forcing
this information from the en-
ployer. This applies, too, in the
case of the employe, he believes.
If "any large amount" of trou-
BILE is encountered on this score,
Mr.. WinAlt said, it will be neces-
sary to ask that Congress put
teeth" in the act giving the board
power of enforcement.
The only means now by which
information can be forcably OBJ
tanned is through the Treasury.
which will collect the tax on all
pay rolls and salaries effected by
the security act. Employers who
refuse to permit registration of
their employees are thereby only
robbing the employees of benefits
although either can escape paying
the required tax, Mr.. Winant
pointed out.
Maryland May Act
Maryland, one of the States
where legislators have failed thus
far to enact a State law, may call
a special session of the general as
sembly to pass the measure before
the January deadline, it has been
limited in several quarters.
Proceeding on that assumption,
Maryland'S Attorney General, Her
bert R. O'Conor, said today that
he will begin soon to draft model
bill for the legislators.
Gov. Harry w. Nice, however, re-
iterated that he is still not con-
vinced that a special session will
be necessary. He said he is await
ing a statement from Homer S.
Cummings, U. S. Attorney Gen.
eral, regarding the legality of a
possible extension of time in the
Federal act.

value of which is approximately
SAC, 900.
The German protest was lodged
by the German minister at Oslo
who expressed to the Norwegian
government Germany'S very great
surprise" at awarding of the prize
to a man the official German
press describes as "a condemned
traitor"
Germany, said the minister, re,
serves the right to draw "her own
conclusion" from such awarding
Of the Nobel prize.
According to an authoritative
view here, Germany holds that al,
though the Norwegian govern,
ment is not directly concerned,
the decision to award the prize
to Ossietzky was reached by rep,
rentatives of the Norwegian ma
ton, and it represents deliberate
and insulting provocation against
Germany"
Lodging of the protest recalled
designations 10 days ago of two
members of the Nobel peace com
mittee in Oslo. apparently handed
in with knowledge the German
pacifist agitator would receive
the prize.
Oen of these was the Norwegian
foreign minister, Halvdan Koht,
and the other former prime min
lister and former foreign minister,
Pohann Ludwig Mowinckel. The
reasons given were that the pol
litical independence of the Nobel
committee, which is separate from
the Norwegian government.
Award of the prize to OSsietZky,
announced yesterday, brought a
bitter blast from the official Ger
man press, and today it appeared
the Nobel prize would be boycott
ted by Germany in the future.
All German citizens will be for.
hidden to receive it, and it was
believed that unless Won Ossiet.
zky voluntarily declines, Hitler's
action will be made retroactive so
that he will be deprived of it.
The projected ban, it was under
stood, will not affect other Nobel
awards, such as chemistry and
literature, as these are mon
political"
Won OsSietzky remains at a
West End Sanitorium, where he is
being closely watched by the
Gestapo, the German secret police.
The German official news agency
said the Nobel prize has been
awarded to a traitor convicted by
the supreme court of his own
country" emphasizing that this
conviction occurred before Hitler
came into power.

However, Separate
From 'OutIaWs'

NEW YORK, Nov. IS d.N.s.)
Nearly a thousand ship officers
and engineers were on strike here
today, adding strength to the walk
out of insurgent members Of the
International Seamen's Union.
Piers were picketed, and other
officers we're urged to join the
strike as efforts were made to tie
up any American vessel attempt
ing to leave port. The first ship
to be tied up by the officers strike
was the American export lines
Excaltbur, which had 56 paSSen-
gers on board and was ready to
sail for Mediterranean ports. En-
gineers kept the ship heated. but
refused to supply steam needed to
operate winches for the loading Of
freight.
Following the strike Of part of
it's crew upon arriving in port,
the United States liner President
Roosevelt was held here today,
but the liner President Harding,
with a crew of SO men, was sched-
uled to sail at noon.
The Marine Engineers Bene-
ficial Association and the Masters,
Mates and Pilots Association each
opened strike headquarters sep
arate from that of the strategy
committee of the strikers led by
Joseph Curran.
It was charged, however, by r.
J. Baker, president of the Ameri-
can Steamship Owners ASsocia-
tion, that the marine engineers,
were linked with the striking sea-
men. Baker said representatives
of the engineers association ap-
preached the owner of one steam
ship company with demands for
settlement of their strike and rec
ognition of the seamen's strike
committee. He denied that ship
ping lines had approached the
strike committee with peace over

ROME, Nov. 24.-With Italy and
Germany joined in formal recogni.
ton of Gen. Francisco Frances
rebel Spanish government and
pledged together to fight Commu-
niSm, fall of Madrid will bring new
dangers to the peace of Europe.
Ramifications Of Spain'S civil
war daily grow more international
in character; the war between
FaScism and Communism, with
neither side in a compromising
mood, is not likely to end with
any one development on the Iber-
ian peninsula.
Madrid's capitulation will not
close the book which the Red
Fascist conflict has written in
bullets and blood. Diplomatic OBJ
servers believe it merly will open
new chapter.
Only Partial Victory
Fall of Madrid, diSpaSsionats
sources say, can be considered
only a partial" victory as long
as Barcelona still stands as the
new citadel of leftiSt forces. Italy'S
role in the new situation will bS
extremely important.
Political alignments have
shifted materially since Jose Calv0
Sotelo was found butchered in
a Madrid cemetery. Italy today
is virtually a military and naval
ally of Nazi Germany, as we'll
as political.
One of the common enemies Of
the two nations is BolSheviSm. One
of their common aims as set forth
in the initialled agreement con.
cluded by Count Galeazzo Ciano,
Italian foreign minister, and Baron
Constantin Won Neurath, German
foreign minister, is the exclusion Of
the Comintern Communist Inter
n tional from Snarling the
threads of Western Europe'S af.
fairs.
With fall of Madrid and certain
retreat of Red forces into Catalo-
MIA. juridical questions, knotty and
difficult, will be raised in all major
chancelleries of Europe.
Declare Independence
Catalonia, it is believed here, viii
declare an independent Soviet
Spanish republic with Barcelona
the capital. In effect, this would
mean transfer of the Madrid gov
ernment to Barcelona, Italians
contend.
While for Italy and Germany
the issue is clear cut enough
neither would recognize such .
government-in such countries as
France and Britain embarrassing
situations may be created. These
two countries, admittedly are
League-of-Nati minded and.
judging from past performances
in respect to Italy, SticklerS for
legal procedure.
Would England and France and
other nations recognize a Soviet
government of Barcelona?
If they do, or if they abstain
from any sort of formal recogni-
ton but fail to recognize the
Franco regime in Madrid, battle
lines between Fascist and Com.
munist blocs will be drawn more
tightly than ever.
The immediate days ahead are
seen by Rome observers, diplomatic
and official, as the most crucial
for the peace of Europe since Brit.
