Must Know Regulations.
CPEAKING Of laws and regulations,
1t seems appropriate to mention
specific requirements for every boat
that depends on some type Of engine
for propulsion. For the new boat
owner we suggest that you see to the
proper equipping Of your craft, as you
are liable to be boarded by a steam
boat inspector or some representative
Of the Bureau Of Navigation at any
time. If things aren't cricket aboard
you'll be subject to q 500 fine.
In addition to carrying the usual
port and starboard running lights
along with masthead and stern lights
and having on hand registry certifl-
cate OF ownership, all power boats
must have q fog horn, q bell and q
whistle capable Of making a blast OF
at least two seconds or more In dura-
ton. And for every person aboard
there must be an equal number OF
life preservers. Two copies Of the pilot
rules, which may be procured at the
Department of Commerce, are re-
quired on each yacht.
This year all boats under Is gross
tons must apply for number, If they
haven't done so before. It's q means,
among other things, to tabulate the
number of members Of this fast-grow-
ing outdoor sport.

RUMANIA MAY PURGE ITSELF
 OF JEW BORN
Thousands of Jewish Citi- zens Await Hitler
 Like Regulations

BUCHAREST, Dec. 31-Ruman- ia's 100000 Jews face the dawn ot 1888 with the grayest anxiety as stringent measures were imposed by the new government under Pre- mier Octavian Goga for the regu- lation of foreigners
 Jews feared they would lose their homes and their fortunes. More zealous leaders of Goga's National Christian Party accepted at face value the implication that Rumania was about to take measures more stringent even than those intro- duced against the Jews in Germany by Hitler.
 The leaders in question are de- manding that all foreigners become Rumanian citizens after 1920 or be expelled from the country or else be so strictly limited in their occu- patton privileges that they will be reduced to poverty.
 Such restraints as these will hit squarely thousands of Jews who fled from Russia, Poland and Ger many after the Great War.
 In Bucharest, Blue Shirted Lane CTS paraded the streets maintaining order and recruiting a force to car. ry out the policies of the new gov jernment of Goga.

What HMeans---TecI,nique
 Of Settling An s'Incident''
By MORGAN M. BEATTY AP Feature Service Writer

WASHINGTON, Dec 31. The Japanese bombing of the American eunboat Panaysin the Far East has given American diplomacy the hardest nut it has had to crack since the World War The catch is tWo-fold:
 l. To persuade Japan not to kill
 any more Americans or dam
 age their property.
 2. To get a satisfactory guaran-
 tee that the promise will be
 kept, come what may.
 Automatically, the first is easy. The Japanese have already apol- ogized for serious military er- TOT.
 But getting the guarantee is something else again.

 Ships for Navy
Two Factors, However, En. ter Tn Construction on
 Pacific Coast

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31-Naval officials, commenting informally said that it is entirely logical' to expect that some of the new war ships planned will be built on the Pacific Coast. There are two west ern Navy yards, at Mare Island and Bremerton.
 The Bethlehem and Union Iron Works at San Francisco also have adequate facilities to participate in the program.
 Two factors against construction in the west however, are the high cost of transportation of materials and that western yards must care overhaul needs.

Two Defenses

The trouble here is three-fold. l. There are bound to be mis-
 takes in any zone of hostilities,
 even though a war has not
 been declared.
 2. The Japanese need to prove
 to the Chinese that Japan,
 and not the western nations,
 holds the whip hand in the
 Far East
 3. Carelessness wi tn foreigners
 and their flags is one way of
 demonstrating that power, al-
 though the Japanese have not
 indicated that they plan to
 use this method.
 The United States is confronted with the fact that the centuries have seen the nations devise only two instruments to protect their honor on the worlds highways. One is the mythical book of interna- tonal etiquette, appealing to gen tlemanly instincts. The other is a battle fleet big enough to command the respect of other nations with it's guns.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Switch- boards in the capitols national telephone exchange burst burst into rash of red lights.
 The navy code room is calling Secretary of State Hull. Hull takes the message, hangs up and puts in two calls: one to the White House and one to the naval observatory.
 The White House call is through first.
 MT. President says Hull, quietly. T have to inform you that our gum boat, the Panay, was sunk in the Yangtze today 25 miles above Nan king"
 The Presidents crisp voice in- quired whether anyone was gilled.
 We can't tell yet, sir. We think not. The survivors are at Hoh- sien."
 As soon as he hangs up, Hull's phone rings again. Admiral Will liam D. Leahy, Chief of Naval Op- erations, who lives at the Naval ob- .servatory, is on the wire Hull re- peats his message.

 But before the fleet works out it's games, there's that international etiquette book. The bomb that hit the Panay also cracked open the rules at page one, and its's the State Departments job to explore every last rule within the covers

A SMOOTH ROUTINE

Each diplomatic incident IS dlt- ferent. But in each case govern ment department heads are notified. They work together in finding out exactly what happened and in talk ing action.
 Usually events happen so fast that leach department head stays by whatever phone catches him with the news. There is seldom furry The paths of diplomacy are so we'll worn that the men involved go through the motions in a quiet one tWo- three.
 In the Panay incident, President Roosevelt stayed near his study phone in the White House. Hull stuck to his in the hotel where he lives two blocks away and Leahy manned his in his quarters three miles away.
 Each man called about him his special aides who knew Far Eastern problems. A skeleton office staff rushed to the State Department to man typewriters and mimeographs that ground out news for the press.
 Hull sent off immediate instruc- tions to Ambassador Joseph c. Grew at Tokyo, to press the Japanese gov ernment for full information Simi- ing messages went off to Nelson T. Johnson, Ambassador to China
