LEWIS CO0DSELL
 HITSAT WILLARD
Ex-President of Young G. 0. P. in State Ans=
 wers Journal Attack

Bethel, Conn, July 5-CUP)- Former Connecticut Young Repub- lican President Lewis E. Goodsell today accused the old guard wing of the state G. O. F., of having failed "miserably" in leadership.
 Goodsell, although not mentioned by name, apparently came under at- tack this month in the Connecticut Journal, a publication edited by Clarence G. Willard, secretary of the G. O. P. State Central commit tee.
 Goodscll replied:
 "The present party leadership. in- cluding MT. Willard and others, having failed miserably, I have called upon the young Republicans who have been working with me to seek their places in the regular par ty organization, get themselves elected as delegates to all conven- tions and name candidates of their own choosing"
 He said he would continue the fight to "relegate to the background where they belong" all old guard leaders.
 Goodsell is aligned with the in- surgent group headed by National Committeeman Eamuel F. Pryor, Jr., Greenwich, and State Senator J. Kenneth Bradley, Westport.

JERUSALEM SEES
 MORE ATTACKS

Jerusalem, July 5. - (UP) Six Jews were killed and four wounded today in a renewal of attacks and counter attacks between Jews and Arabs which led some observers to fear civil war.
 Curfew regulations were imposed again and British troops and police throughout Palestine were on the alert for new terrorism after an outbreak of disorders in which nine Arabs were killed and 13 wounded.
 The prospect of some form of civil war might ultimately compel Great Britain, which holds mandate over the Holy Land, to take decisive action, 1t was said.
 Today's attacks were regarded as reprisals for Jewish attacks on Arabs. Four were killed at Einvered, d Jewish settlement near Tel Aviv. Four others were wounded at Roshpina,, in North Palestine. A Jewish father and son were shot and killed in the old city fo Jeru- salem.

National Offices for Unico Members
GERMAN STAFF
 LEAVES CHINA
Ordered Home By Com= mand of Nazi Govt; China
 Will Win Says Staff

Shanghai, July 5.-(UP)-Gen. yon Falkenhauser, chief of the German military mission to China, left Hankow today with the last of his associates at the order of the German Nazi government. Dispatches from Hankow, reporting the departure, asserted that the German military chieftain said in his farewell message:
 T feel sure that China Is gain ing final victory and that Japan will fail both in war and peace.
 The statement caused sensation here. It was known that Falken- hauser left only with great reluct- ance at the peremptory order of his government. Also it was reported from Hankow that after the first order for his departure, he had told foreign military attaches that he would not leave China unless he was threatened with prosecution in Germany.
 Regrets Recall
 In a recent farewell message to Chinese troops Gen Falkenhausen was reported to have expressed un- ending loyalty to and sympathy with the Chinese army, and to have said that he regretted his govern ment's recall left him no alternative to return to Germany. It was re- ported that even this statement brought him stern reprimand from Germany.
 Twenty emaining German army men who had been advising the Chi nese were given a farewell luncheon at Hankow Saturday by Generals simo Chiang Kai-Shek.
 Today the Germans left for Hong Kong by special train.
 The Chinese government consent ed to the departure of the Germans only after exhausting every means to persuade them to stay. The Nazi government was so angry at the at titude of the government that it ordered it's ambassador, Dr. Oskar Trautman, to return to Berlin, and dispatches from there quoted diplo- matic quarters as expressing belief that he would not return, or be re- placed, for considerable time.
 Severe Blow to China
 Falkenhausens departure, and that of his associates, was admit edly severe blow to China. Since 1884 Falkenhausen had been advis- ing first on the organization of the Chinese army into an efficient, well armed body, and secondly on the strategy and tactics of the war.
 Incidentally, it was against the urgent advice of Falkenhausen that the Chinese defended Shanghai. He had advised them to retreat slowly making the Japanese advance as costly as possible but getting them selves out of range of the Japanese guns of the Yangtse and the Whangpoo river Warships. Instead the Chinese, for reasons of pride, remained at Shanghai until the Japanese brought such overwhelm- ing fire-power against them, by means of warships and airplanes, that they lost frightfully in men and, when they did retreat. were forced back so precipitately that their army became disorganized and it took months to reform it.
 Gen. Falkenhausen and his asso- ciates were expected to sail from Hong Kong for Germany Friday.
 Falkenhausen is 60 and has an in- ternational reputation as brilliant military man. During the World War he served as chief of staff of the Turkish armies.

Paris, July 5 - (U.P) = Official quarters confirmed today that g small detachment of French gen, darmes had effectively" occupied the Paracel Islands, southeast of Hainan Island in the China Sea.
 Japanese authorities have threat- ened to occupy Hainan Island, which guards the sea approaches to French Indo-China and the French leased territory in South China.
 French authorities pointed out that the islands passed under the sovereignty of the Annam Empire a century ago. Judicially, they said, the island now is under French sovereignty since France conquered Annam in 1885.
 Explaining its occupation, an off, cial said that the French long have maintained lighthouses and weather stations on the islands for the benefit of shipping and that the gendarmes were dispatched to guard them. Although a group of coral reefs, it was said that they were admirably suited" as a base for seaplanes.
