CLOSED SHOP IS
 FLATLY REFUSED

New York, Feb. 11.-(UP).-The refusal of operators to consider a closed shop broke up their contract negotiations today with the Commit tee for Industrial Organization Maritime union.
 The National Maritime union pressed a demand for the closed shop in day-long conference with representatives of the American Steamship Owners association. It was f1atly refused.
 The N. M. U sought a blanket labor contract covering all Ameri- can shipping lines. The union has been chosen as bargaining agent for employees of more than 40 shipping companies.
 Joseph Curran, general organizer for the union, accused the owners of "stalling" in the hope that con- gress would enact legislation before it adjourned outlawing strike action by maritime workers The American lines, he said, were using the own ers' association for that purpose.

MAGAZINE PIC
 WAS NOT BANNED

New York, Feb. 11-(UP)-The editors of Pic, biweekly pictorial magazine, today denied published reports that their paper had been banned from newsstands in certain New England cities.
 "A great injustice has been done our publication, the Pic statement said. We understand that another paper has been banned from New England newSstands, but it is cer- tainly not our paper Pic. We have consistently kept the pages of Pic clean and wholesome and nothing has ever been published which would cause criticism by readers or action by authorities.
 ITO correct the wrong done to us we insist that the newspapers which have published this inaccurate statement make proper and thor ough retraction."

SECRETARY HULL SPOKE TRUTHS
Wednesday He Stated Whole World Had Jit-
 ters; Europe Proves It
(By United Press

Secretary Corden Hull's remark on Wednesday that the people ot the whole world have the jitters was strikingly Illustrated in Europe to- day as the whole uneasy continent seethed with rumors of unrest in the German army, trouble in Austria troop movements in Italy, and the course of the royal dictatorship tn Rumania.
 The German situation was clari- fled by statement of pr. Otto ApietfAch. Reich press chief, who told the United Press py telephone from Adolf Hitler's Bavarian mountain retreat that the army is quiet, the German borders are open and that Hitler is in good heath.
 Natural Feeling
 Some Nazi quarters admitted there was natural feeling of un- certainty and unrest in the army because of the recent shakeup of of- hcers, but said it did not extend beyond that.
 In Rumania, King Carol estab-  lished a royal dictatorship under the army and a state of siege after Pre- mier Octavian Goga's anti-Jewish government had been forced out. Goga retired with the bitter ex- clamation:
 Israel, you are victorious"
 In Austria, the government ln- reased the term of compulsory mil itary service from one year to 18 months to enable the government to retain many men in service in case of need.
 Rome strongly denied persistent rurnors that two or three Italian divisions had been sent to the Brenner pass frontier because of re- ports of imminent trouble in Austria.

 the intelligence division of the in- ternal revenue department, which has headquarters at Boston.
 Since Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland came into office, it has been claimed that several Water burians and others received large sums of money for services to the city during past years. Action by the internal revenue department hinges on whether or not they in- cluded such receipts when filing in- come tax reports.
 Probe Continues
 Probe of the situation continued today by County Detective Edward J. Hickey and his assistant, George L. Greer, who yesterday were made special deputy sheriffs by High Sheriff J.

United Press by telephone from Haus Wachenfeld, Hitler mountain retreat outside Berchtesgaden, Die trich said:
 T have read what has been said abroad that frontiers are closed, that the SS troops (crack Nazi bodyguards) are being used in the army to watch over and expel re- actionary officers, that there is url- rest in the army.
 Since the official communique of February 4 (announcing the Nazi shakeup) everything has been quiet. The army is quiet. Every officer is doing his duty at his regular post.
 Rumors False, Stupid
 These rumors are false and stupid and I am glad to have an oppor- tunity to stamp them for what they are worth
 Dietrich said that Hitler was in good health and that although he was working, he was taking the op- portunity also to rest little. Asked whether Hitler was preparing hE speech for the Reichstag meeting February 20, Dietrich said:

REPUBLICANS OF
 IRELAND SPEAK

Dublin, Feb. 11-(UP)-Irish Re- publicans said today that the large Unionist victory in Northern Ireland was not surprising but that the re- suit should not be regarded as in- dicating the real state of opinion in Ulster.
 It was believed here that the strength of the nationalist minority in Ulster is far greater than the re- suits showed because extreme Re- publicans boycotted the elections.
 Prime Minister Ramon de Valera of Erie said that continuance of the partition between the two states "is an outrage against our nation which Irishmen throughout the world resent and which as long as it lasts will remain a barrier to good relations between Ireland and Britain"

STORY ON ITALY
 IS ALSO DENIED

Rome, Feb. 11-UP)-A high ranking official of the ministry of popular culture strongly denied to- day rumors persistent in Rome that two or three Italian divisions had been rushed to the Brenner pass frontier as the result of reports of imminent trouble in Austria. The official described the reports as "ab- solutely fantastic, without the slightest foundation"
 Foreign military observers ex- pressed doubt of the truth of the rumors because, they said, frontier garrisons had been kept at full strength for some time. They re- ceived no confirmation that there had been any recent reinforcement of these garrisons-

 Washington, Feb. 11.-(UP)-Act- ing Works Progress Administrator Aubrey Williams said today that WPA would add 500,000 unemployed to its work relief rolls almost im- mediately after congress votes the additional $2500o0,oO0 appropria- ton asked by President Roosevelt.

more beautiful and more beautiful.
And guess what happened to the
step-mothers witch. You see she
could only belong to a mean per-
son, and now the Queen was no
longer horrid there was no place
for the witch. She started to snivel
into her clawlike hands, Where
will I go?"
The Fairy Queen smiled at her
and said, You have one wish be-
fore you go. but choose WELL
The witch looked about her, and
said, "Oh, could I be small peas
ant girl and stay here as a maid
to Hulda?"
Hulda laughed and clapped her
hands and the Fairy Queen smiled
happily. She said, You have chosen
wisely, and now you are that peas
ant girl" And right then the witch
changed into pretty, pink checked
peasant girl in a green dress. She
was just the size of Hulda. And
from then on she lived in a room
right next to Hulda, grew up with
her and served her all her life.
But where was the Princess
Huldas father, the King, all this
time? He didn't know thing that
had happened. He had been sailing
tar of in Southern seas, and just
as all this was happening, his big
BOAT had put into harbor and he
was marching up the road to the
castle. Think what a surprise was
in store for him.

Chapter II
HOME


Hulda wondered and wondered
what story it was that the mean
Queen had promised to tell her
But the Queen said nothing all
that night as they galloped over
the hills. At dawn they started
down into a beautiful valley and
there near blue river stood Hulda S
home, the castle her father had
built. But still she didn't remember
that she was the little Princess of
this kingdom.
The Queen wondered why she
didn't but she smiled to herself and
gently stroked Hulda's yellow curls
At that Hulda wondered more be-
cause she had expected the mean
Queen to be horrid.
Finally they rode right into the
courtyard, dismounted and walked
into the throne room where they
found the banquet table spread with
a steaming breakfast of tiny broiled
squads, piping rolls on copper trays
and coffee steaming in copper urns.
The Queen sat down at the head
of the table and her tired soldiers
sat along the sides. Hulda was SO
small that she sat on the table near
the Queens right hand
Now for the story" said the
Queen. And she told Hulda that
this was her home. That she had
run off to Toyland-and just then,
pop there stood the Fairy Queen
with bright star shining in her
curls and no bigger than a salt eel
lar.
"Oh, it's so nice to see you," said
Hulda, clapping her hands.
YES" said the fairy, "and now
it's time that you return to your
right place as princess of this king
dom. First eat this cookie and then
this blueberry," she said to Hulda,
and held them out Hulda ate first
the cookie and as she did she began
to grow and grow. Pretty soon she
was just as big as any little girl
of s, Just as she had been before
she went to Toyland. She hoped
down off the table and stood on the
floor while the Queens eyes popped
with surprise.
Then she ate the blueberry. You
remember, it was just such blue
berry that had made her forget
the mean Queen was her wicked
step-mother. Now, as she ate, look
of fright came over her face. She
stared at the Queen, and then
covered her face with her hands
and burst into tears. She had rec
ognized her step-mother and was
afraid she would punish her for
running away.
But the Queen gently patted her
golden curls and put her arm around
Hulda and said, But you've taught
me how much better it is to be kind
than to be mean. I'm not your
wicked step-mother any more. 1
love you, and would like to be your
real mother"
You would?" said Hulda look
ing up through her tears. Then she
smiled and shyly reached up to kiss
the Queen on her old cheek Then
two strange things happened. The
Queen looked so happy that she
became younger and younger and

Refugees Likely to Create
A Disturbing Influence

In consideration of whether we
ought to let a deluge of refugees
enter, l cannot help thinking of a
possible spread of trouble. For ex-
ample, if our definite national posi-
tion of protest against Hitler's poll
cies should bring retaliation, every
Jewish refugee allowed in this coun-
try would be clamoring for the Unit
ed States to take revenge on Ger
many and Hitler. Their influence
would be great because they could
tell what happened to them and give
an idea of what is happening. You
and l and millions of others would
believe first hand information.
There is no doubt about it. The
germ of trouble could be incubated
ten times more rapidly; instead of
staying out of European troubles,
we would be pushed in deeper and
deeper.
AS far as relations between Ger
many and the United States are
concerned at the moment, all that
can be said is that the United States
has let the world know of its dis.
approval When Ambassador Viii.
son was recalled, it was just the
same as saying to the world of ma
tions that Uncle Sam hasn't any
respect for Hitler.
