guerilla fighting. Prague has charged the reports are false and German newspapers have warned the two countries to avoid trying to force the issue, but there have been iiidica- tionS that Germany's axis partner, Italy, was sympathetic with the Hungarian aims.
 Berlin Rome Axis Penetrated
 2-Great Britain, baked in Cfam- berlain's efforts to complete a quick deal for peace with Hitler because of British public protests against Nazi anti-HemitisIn, has swung to- ward g new approach to the prob- lem. Aided by France, Britain has chiseled into the Berlin Rome axis by ending or seeking to end the democracies' differences with Fascist Italy and by an important series of conferences intended to improve re- lations with the small powers in the Nazi orbit.
 Of those conferes, King Carol of Rumania, and Prince Paul, regent of Jugoslavia, who arrived in London today. were the most important. Carol, who journeyed from England to Paris for further talks and will continue his political shopping in Berlin late, obtained a promise from the British government to if- crease trade between their two coril- tries.
 Hitler Bids with Planes
 Hitler has been bidding with mod ern war planes which Carol needs and which neither France nor Bri- tain can afford to supply just now for Rulnanian oil, wheat and timber, but the monarch has played 8 cau- tious, waiting game. Riimania al- most certainly must come strongly under the Nazi influence, but it was expected that both France and Bri- tain would attempt to maintain their interests in the country as a counter balance to Germany's eastward march.
 That does not mean that Cham berlain has given up his program for dealing with Nad Germany, al- though recent events stiffening the British attitude toward Hitler may make such deals more distant than previously believed. Both the policy and the speed with which the de- mocracies will seek to act probably will be worked out in Paris when Chamberlain and his foreign secre- tary, Viscount Halifax, meet with Daladier and his foreign minister, Georges Bonnet.
 French sources believed that the meeting would again set up the goal of a four-power agreement among Britain: France, Germany and Italy that would ease problems still threat ening the peace of Europe. Elsewhere in Europe Germany-Nazi relations with the Catholic church were further strained by a pastoral letter issued by Count Konrad Won Preysing,

Therefore, I say to the good Jews of America, be not indulgent with the irrelig- ious athetistic Jews and GentileS who promote the cause of persecu- ton in the land of the Communists.

 Exception Taken
 New York, Nov. 2l--(UP) Radio station WNCA was believed today to be the first station to have taken issue with a speaker on a sponsor ed on commercial program. It Qles- tioned certain sections of an address yesterday by the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin of Royal oak, Mich., on Germany's anti-Se;nitic campaign.
 unfortunately" 3 station an- nouncement after the address said, 'Father Coughlin has uttered cer- tain mistakes of fact"
 officials did not specify the state ments with which they took issue and said they had made on record ing of his speech. Prof. Johan Smertenko of the non-Sectarian anti-Na league said he had ob- tained an advence copy of the ad- dresses and had called the stations attention to statements that were incorrect and deliberately mislead- ing" He said he had given the sta- ton documentary references to proved his contentious.
 His List Was Wrong
 Smertenko said that Father Coughlin had quoted 8 list of "twen- ty-five uuasi-cabinet members" of Soyiest Russia under Lenin in 1917, qualifying it by adding that the list was of NaI origin, and characterize ing 24 as "atheistic Jews" Of the 24 most important Soviet officials in 1917, Smertenko said, only seven were Jews.
 Smertenko also quoted Father Coughlin that of 59 members of the control commission of the Com munist party in Russia in 1925, 56 were Jews and three were non- Jews who had married Jews. In 1885, Smertenko said, there was no party control commission, no central body of 59 members, but there was state control commission of 195 members. Eight of whom were Jews; party central executive committee of 28, two of whom were Jews, and the politburo of eight members with I1o Jews.
 Smertenko also said that Father Coughlin misquoted the American Hebrew to make it appear that the Jews claimed credit for "the Rus- sian Jewish revolution" and that, without foundation, he cited Brit ish white paper as evidence that the firm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., "h- nanced the Russian revolution"

(Continued from Page D juries, $11 for judgment fees. It was determined that this was con- trary to charter procedure inasmuch as the fees should have been at the fixed rate of 50 cents in the in- stances cited.
 The controllers office released the names of the lawyers to the Republican press and there was considerable resentment, both against the city official and the newspapers which printed the lists of these alleged debtors"
 Thereafter, The Democrat learn ed of the illegality of the charges for the fees made a point of pres sing the controllers matter to pro- per adjudication, rather than on the nebulous basis of allegation and derogatory publication.
 One Claim May Be Paid
 Today, 1t appeared that one law yer, who was alleged by the figures presented through the Republican press and from the controllers of- flee, to have owed several hundred dollars, will pay his just debt, as presented, at a figure estimated not in excess of $50. Most of the att torneys who were listed in the 're- leases" as owing the city," how ever, will have justification for claims against the city.
 By case cited in the recent an- nals of Connecticut law, 1t has been determined that when prepayment of monies is made that there should be adjustment in favor of the per- son who, because of a mistaken es. innate of indebtedness, paid more than was due.
 Most Of Attorneys

BLACK NAZI FLAG
 IS HAULED DOWN

Boston, Nov. 21-(UP)-A black flag, bearing a white skull anE cross-bones and the word Hitler ism," was hauled down today from atop the State street building which houses the German consulate.
 Acting Consul Kurt Bohme, who received telephone bombing threats 10 days ago at his Belmont home, refused to comment except to deny that he had called police when the flag was discovered.
 A patrolman was sent to the Board of Trade building to remove the flag, tied atop the pole on the roof, when police received a myste- rious telephone call.

bishop of Berlin, urging Catholics to repel Nazi efforts to attract children from the church. The government began negotiations with Latin Amer ican countries for migration of Ger man Jews. The possibility that Jews in Germany might be held re- sponsible for protests of Jews abroad was increased when all school children were ordered to write the names and addresses of relgtives abroad.
 Britain Government arranged to enforce more liberal policy toward emigration of Jewish refugees, prob- ably to admit 1000 Jewish children from Germany.
 France The government planned to create zones or surveillance" for undesirable aliens intended to pre- vent future incidents such as the assassination of Ernst Vorn Rath of the German embassy by a Polish Jew.

Germany Starts Plans
 Find Homes for Jews

his estate nearby. This, however, could not be confirmed.
 The new Nazi policy appeared to ignore British and United States efforts to find homes for German Jews. It was accompanied by a press campaign which charged that the plight of German Jews was caused by foreign countries.
 'Germany is doing everything possible to ease the situation of Jews who are willing to emigrate," the volkischer Beobachter, official news paper of Vienna said.
 Real Enemies of Jews
 s'The real enemies of the Jews are sforeign countries which profess to love the Jews but do nothing to help them"
 The newspaper recalled that a central emigration headquarters for Jews had been established August s26 in the Rochschild palace. Within the shortest possible time all clear .ance papers are being provided for Jewish emigrants, the newspaper said. As many as 200 applicants are being handled daily.
 V The newspaper suggested that re- cent anti-JewiSh measures were taken because many Jews had not shown any desire to emigrate ''be- cause they were still getting along much too well despite the fact that the Nazis have been in power in Germany for five years"
 In Germany in the five years from 1933 to 1888 only about IT per cent of 515,000 Jews of the Jewish re- ligion and 100000 full and part blooded Jews, took Germany's anti SeinitiSm seriously enough to emil grate, the newspaper said.
 \. In Austria, it said, approximately .175,000 of the Jewish faith and 120,- poo baptized or mixed -blooded Jews, only 45,000 had emigrated up to Aug. I. At that time foreign countries began to erect barriers that have since rendered emigration more dif- f1cult.
 Welcomes Foreign Protests
 The Vienna Neue Freie PreSSe said that Germany welcomed for eign protest and every other discus sion of the Jewish question.
 These protests reveal to every country that tremendous influence the Jews, either directly or through persons under their influence, wild in the affairs of every country in which there is no open anti-Semit- ism, 1t said.
 It recalled that each European country in turn recently became anti-Semitic for various reasons or if not already anti-Semitic before the Nazi campaign, they became aware of the Jewish menace throughout the world"

 shown much greater interest in the personal problems of his intimate colsaborators without in any way 4leSSening his desire that all ener- gies be devoted to carrying on off, cial duties at the Vatican. There is less of the stern formality about his relations with his colleagues. Ere gquently he remarks to close friends that he feels even better than be- fore his sickness. In his youth, the sPontiff was 8 great mountain climb Ger and he had never been really ill until the illness from which he has !, just recovered. Now, he told the cardinal, he understands many :, things more clearly because of his own suffering and he feels he is much wiser.
 Cardinal Is Surprised 1, Recently a cardinal from abroad arrived for report to the Pope and was much surprised by the change in the Pontiff generally, particularly in view of the fact that two years ago physicians predicted that he would not walk again.
 { The cardinal was received by the Pope in kindly and informal man. ner. As they talked, the Pontiff crossed his legs easily and his fin- gers tapped carelessly on the heel of his red slipper. Much to the sur- prise of the visiting cardinal, he seemed to have recovered the use of his legs to a remarkable extent.
 Later, the same cardinal remarked that the Pope was much more mel low and human"
 Nevertheless, the Pontiff still works from IA to 16 hours day. He rejects the advice of his aides that he should reduce the daily routine; that he should rest longer each day. Y Wants to Die Working
 To some of his intimates, he said tha twhen the time comes he wants 10 die while at his work.
 The Pope is unusually active for Q man of his 81 years and has stu pendous energy. He still receives in private audience from four to eight persons every day before hold ing larger public audiences.
 He is intensely curious about al- most everything that is happening ln the world and when he has a visitor who talks fuently on affairs ln foreign countries, the audience Is likely to run far over the sched- uled time. As a result, his public audiences often are late in getting started.
 Apparently the Pope is completely recovered from the illness which physicians at one time feared would Dc fatal. He walked with ease when he took part eight days ago in the teremonies for the justification of Mother Cabrini, the first American titizen to be so honored.
 The only indication of his illness That still is noticeable is that some- times his breathing is g little diff1- tult.

 City court employees have been busy for weeks auditing the ac- counts of the lawyers listed as debtors" and accounts for the last 20 years have been scrutinized.
