Gould Be Served in
Any Federal Jail
BY the Associated Press.

Justice Department officials said
today that AL Capone would not
necessarily" be returned to Chicago

nection with the Federal income

ment Of his $4,000 fine and further
medical treatment for him. Capone

any Federal or local Jail the Gov
ernment chooses. It could not be
served in a penitentiary, however,
except on Capone's own request,
they said.
Offlcials said no decision has been
made regarding Capone's transfer
to the mainland from Alcatraz, al
though his sentence expires January

terred to AlcatraZ in 1894. Time OH

LONDON, Dec. 19.-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain told the House of
Commons today that Nazi Germany
must be taken in as a partner to

In vigorous defense of his

In face of a labor demand for a

Mr.. Chamberlain's reference to

would be "a matter of grave con-
Germ" to Britain.
The Prime Minister also declared
