He dropped the button into his desk
drawer and faced the door just as an
officer pushed burly individual into
the room ahead of him - man about

order the man sat down. "Name?"

The mans voice was shaky.

The Captain wrote the dates on his
pad, studied them for second. while
he tapped the desk with his pencil.
then turned on the prisoner and his
voice was cold, hard.
''Where we're you on the night of
June II. 1934?" He fairly shouted.
The prisoner jumped, apparently
startled by the sudden change of tone.
Then he twisted in his chair. Finally
he spoke.
"June II. l934?" he pondered. LET
me see - wasn't that the night Joie
Madden fought Phil Golding? Ban

at the fight that night"
The Captain sat quietly in his chair

Mrs. King hesitated for a
second. why. yes, l believe he

dirty now. He was never able
to match the button and then
he decided he didn't like the
coat so we'll anyhow - it was
Just cheap raincoat - so he
wore it around the house as

Let me see the coat" There
was a tone of authority in the
Captains voice now and the little
woman. with frightened glance at
the officer, turned back into the house
When she returned with the coat
Captain Manning took it, He glanced
at the two remaining buttons on it.
then at the one in his hand, and turned
away from the door. "Ill just take
this with me-" he said. as he started
down the walk towards the car.
The woman framed in the doorway
of the small frame house was too
aghast to speak. She watched, open
mouthed. as the men left in the car.
For several minutes, as the car
rolled back towards the station. Cap
tain Manning and the youth beside
him sat in silence. Then the Captain
spoke. as he snaked his way through

it was like this, son: When asked this

FACING WAR CALL
Many Foreign-Born Here
Would Be Subject to
Service at Home.
Py the Associated Press.

Py the Associated Press.
Some 1000 900 foreign-born persons
living in the United States might be
called to service In the armies Of their
homelands If present negotiations
break down and Europe goes to war.
But officials here say they do not
believe there would be any great and
immediate homeWard rush to arms Of
the affected nationals. Instead, it
likely would be mere trickle.
The reasons are numerous and in
clude the difficulty there would be Of
getting back to Europe and refusal on
the part of many, because Of political
or other reasons. to accept the call.
Many of the foreign born in the United
States are political refugees who are
out of sympathy with the present
regimes in their home countries.
100000 Foreign Born.
The estimate of 1000 900 who might
be called is based on 100000 for
eign-born in this country. Census off,
cials said not more than Is to 20 per
cent of these are Of military age.
The 1880 cenSus-the last taken for
aliens-showed 757,973 unnaturalized
British and Irish here, 620,14 Cana
dians 6l2,407 Germans and Austrians,
895, TIT Italians, 435,658 Russians, 49,
GAL French and 10000 Czechs and
SlovakS. Figures for some Of the
smaller countries which might become
involved in any general European war
are not available.
Census officials said they believed
these figures have been considerably
reduced by death, repatriation and
naturalization.
Many white Russians"
One guess is as good as another as
to how many would respond to for
eign calls to military service. Some
Of the factors to be considered, how
ever, are that many of the Russians
are White Russians" completely out
Of sympathy with the Soviet Union.
Czechs and Slovaks who might want
to fight would be greatly handicapped
in reaching the battlefront.
Many French electives, according
to the best sources here, would re-
spond. 1t was estimated that 10 or Is
thousand French-born, naturalized
and nnaturalized, might return as
soon as possible in case of full mo-
bilization
There was, in fact. talk here this
week that yesterdays sailing of the
Normandie would be Cancelled and
the ship held here to take modified
Frenchmen home in case of war.
Such step was considered seriously,
though not taken, informed persons
said.

Lawrence Tibbett, president of the
American Guild of Musical Artists,
first vice president of the Radio Ar
lists, and member of the Actors
Guild, told the delegates to the annual
convention of the American Federation
of Labor, at Houston, Texas, that
musical artists are proud of their af-
filiation with organized labor.
Mr.. Tibbett, who was introduced by
William Green, president of the A. +.
of L., as "a great singer, loyal men,
Der of organized labor, and an officer
of union affiliated with u.s." said:
"L wish that could present my COM
pliments, my greetings in the way in
which some one down here suggested.
That is the way in which | am trained
to address audiences, and not by
means of words and speeches.
However, l am delighted at this
opportunity to become personally ac-
quainted with you all. We are in that

mean it directly, with you ALL
Labor Solidarity Lauded
"My association in affiliation with
the labor movement as an officer in
one of your many organizations has
been very short indeed, two years,
when number of US first started to
organize our American Guild of Musi-
cal Artists, but in that time l have be-
come fully conscious of many things
| knew only slightly before l became
conscious of the power, the solidarity,
the need for labor organization even
in our own groups. | think they are
needed throughout the various activi-
ties of our nation.
81 know that many of you have the
opinion, certainly many people outside
the rank and file of labor have the
opinion, that artists have no business
with and in labor. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Our cause is
your cause and the cause of labor, and
believe me when say l am thrilled
to be actively associated with you. l
am grateful for the helping hand, for
the friendliness which many of you in
your great organization have already
extended to us.
81 wish l could say all of this to
you in song. You can see by this time
that | could express it little more
keenly in that way, but l think you
understand the position of the wage
Garner who is under contract, and l
happen to be in that position here in
Houston. am giving concert here
tonight. By the way, if you are not
busy / would love to have you come,
but know you are all busy. Never
theless, am under contract and can
not sing to you. In few hours |
will be right over on the other side
of that curtain.
"Again let me tell you how very
happy and honored l am at the privi-
lege of being presented here by your
great President, and for the pleasure
of meeting you personally. l hope it
won't be long before | will have had
that privilege again, and l bring you
greetings from the American Guild of
