JUDGE REDUCES
 JURY'S AWARD
Woman Patron of Theater Originally Granted Ver-
 dict of $l,75O

Judge Miles F. McNiff in the court of common pleas today reduced to $650 the $1,750 judgment rendered recently by a jury for the plaintiff in the case of Grace Kelly against Burton Van Doren, operator of the Hamilton theater.
 Mrs. Kelly sued for an injury which resulted when she was struck in the eye by a foreign object as she viewed motion pictures in the the ater.
 Judge McNiff states that the ver- dict returned was excessive, although "the jury was justified in rendering verdict for the plaintiff" because of several conditions cited. One was that there was no usher present and no policeman on hand to maintain order in the theater.
 The judge comments that per- 1aps the jury returned such a large verdict because of its sympathy for Mrs. Kelly, whose husband entered hospital few days before the trial.
 Attorney s. s. Cassel appeared for the plaintiff while Pergrift & Blu menfeld appeared for the defense

have available to reimburse British exporters for losses in legitimate ex- port transactions. This would per- init exporters to offer attractive long term credit facilities to foreign buy CTS.
 The same bill creates new guar antee of &10,0OO,0O0 ($46, 700, ,000) to encourage exports fin the national interest" This guarantee is so broad that it even covers deals which may not be found sound commercial risks, for instance if the government wanted to provide a country with war material, it would insure Brit ish exporters against loss by default of payment.
 Sander Speech
 Swedish Foreign Minister Sander in his speech at Gothenburg said:
 'Tt has come to my knowledge that certain German authorities are attempting to carry out 'aryaniza- tion' beyond German frontiers by influencing trade relations in other countries. Thus Swedish firms now trading with Germany have been informed of the unsuitability of having 'non-aryan' employees.
 Swedish subsidiary companies have been asked for information regarding their employees and capi- talization from the viewpoint of 'aryanization.' This has happened not only as regards subsidiary con- panies registered in Germany as German undertakings but also as regards Swedish parent concerns It means that pretensions have been made to transfer to a neigh boring country the application of a specific German law the validity of which is not acknowledged here and which is offensive to the general sense of justice to meet impu- dence with submission is not the right method"
 AS regards the Scotland Yard in- vestigation here, it was learned that an unidentified organization heard reports of the dismissal of Jews en- ployed by British firms which are agents of German firms. The dis missals, it was said, were attributed to "inefficiency" or reorganization" !"
 SuSpecting that the dismissals were due to attempts to "aryanize" the firms, the organiza ton com- municated its suspicious to Scot land Yard which started inquiries with the knowledge of the home of- flee. The home office was said to be anxious to check whether there was actually any sort of "aryani- zation" campaign in Great Britain.

signed to forestall any new German attempts to dump goods on the world market and so increase Ger man trade with American nations, in southeastern Europe and in the Near and Far East at Britain's ex pense.
 Under the plan the government would encourage British industries to organize themselves as units and equip themselves with fighting funds" Each unit, such as steel or coal, would then negotiate with a similar unit in Germany to fix fair prices for their products abroad. If German industry refused to fix a fair price the British units would use their fighting funds to undersell German units in world markets.
 New Credit Bill
 The governments new export credit bill, presented to parliament Thursday, raises the existing exports credit guarantee from E50,000, ,000 ($233, ,50O,00O to &75, 1000, 900 ($350,- 250,000). which the board of trade, a government department, would

 States has never thought of pro- posing 8 military alliance.
 Tt is perfectly plain that the American continent does not feel that system of military alliances is needed to protect it, and on that, think, everyone agrees"
 Berle also denied European in- situations that the United States sought economic dominance over the American continent.
 Speaking of continental solidari- ty, Berle said:
 Tt is fashionable today to dis count ideas and exalt force but in the long run ideas are probably the most powerful forces in the world. They can make peace or war. In this case they make peace"
 It was through such pronounce mentS as this, particularly in pri- vate conversation, that the United States delegates were trying to win support Tor a solidarity pro- gram.
 Cuba brought German Nazi treat ment of Jews into the conference orbit for the first time when the Cuban delegation made public a resolution, to be proposed to the conference, condemning "persecu- tions of collective character" bas- ed on racial or religious grounds, which resulted in conditions that made it impossible for persecuted elements to live. The resolution did not name Germany specifical- ly. It was understood that several nations already had assured the Cu- bans of support for the resolution.
 Latin American sources asserted that United States delegates had advanced informally, in talks with other delegates, suggestions for a binding agreement among American nations to repel not only any ag- gression by a foreign nation but any attempt to implant a foreign political idealogy in conflict with the American political system.
 These sources said that under the United States delegates suggestions the American republics would de- clare formally that any threat from any American nation would be considered a matter for grave con- cern by all American nations. Sim ilarly, it was said, the suggestion involved declaration that any at tempt by a non-American nation to implant any political system in con- flict or at variance with the dom- estic political system of any Amer ican nation would likewise concern all the republics. It would be ag- reed further, according to these sources, that in the eventuality of any foreign menace to American nations, the republics would con- suit among themselves on the best means of repelling the menace and each nation would contribute to such action in the best manner at its disposal and to the best of its ability.
 Further. it was said, there would be a yearly meeting of foreign min- iStegs of the American republics to consider matters of interest to the American continent.

 people could survive in democratic republic and Latin America would not be Nazi or Fascist states. If this cannot be done in the next few years, we may have 8 strange civ ilization. Every lover of liberty and democracy should wrok in all ways to fight Fascism."
 Dr. Sheen said that mere name calling would not solve any prob- lems. He said the protest against barbarism" should have a three-fold characteristic: it should be CD sincere; @ American; (0 con- Structive.
 Pr0pagateS Wrong"
 'It is not Hitler we must ex- terminate" he said. Tt is the wrong which he propagates. Nor let us think that he is the wrong and that his decapitation will stop the persecution; it will not do SC any more than cutting a worm in two will stop it's crawling. To be sincere we must hate the wrong in- dependently of where we find it."
 Regarding the second point he said: When I say our protest should be American, I mean that we must not be concerned as to how the invasion of human rights takes place, but rather what is in- vaded. We are not concerned as to whether rights are taken away by FasciSts or Communists, for they differ only in their methods, not in their aims. As Americans we are no more obligated to choose be- tween Fascism and Communism than between larceny and burg lary or between weinerschnitzel and caviar"
 Of conStructiveneSS, he said: We are protesting against perse- cution, but what are we affirming? Is the bond of our unity tonight a common hatred or is it common love? If we leave this meeting with a hatred against Stalin, or Mussolini, or Hitler, we are the worse for coming"
 U. s. Remain Haven
 Secretary Wallace pleaded that the United States remain a haven for persons of all races and creeds.
 ''The years of the great depres- sion have caused us to place g. greater value than ever before on security" he said. "When people are struggling to get enough to eat and keep a roof over their heads, freedom of any kind is almost a mockery. But we do not want Se- curity at the price of liberty.
 And so, for many families, a deep concern for the preservation of freedom has been added to their deep concern for the attainment of security. They see their freedom threatened from abroad as country after country of the old world gives up whatever measure of freedom 1t may have and permits the per- secution of racial and religious mi- nority groups. And as they head and read similar expressions of in tolerance in this country, they wonder If their freedom may not be threatened here at home"
