TO Be CLEARED
OF YOUNGSTERS
Fairgrounds Only
For Play Thrown

In a drastic effort to safeguard
the lives of Washington's children,
Major Ernest w. Brown, chief Of
police, today ordered patrolmen
to pick up all youngsters found
playing in the streets.
The order was issued while .
coroner's jury at the District
Morgue was investigating . the
deaths of three of the latest Of
the years traffic victims. The
jury exonerated Lyman Melman,
As, a grocer of 1903 Queen st.
N. E., of blame for the death Of
John Under, 10, of 304 Fourth
st. S. E.
NINE CHILDREN DIE
Aroused by the deaths of nine
children in the past month, Major
Brown called upon his patrolmen
to impress upon parents the grave
responsibility that rests upon them
for the protection of their young
SterS.
All children found risking their
lives by playing in the streets
should be picked up by policemen
and taken to the homes of their
parents, Major Brown commanded.
1.-THE matter OF getting the
children to Fairgrounds will be
taken up with the parents by
the officers" Major Brown said.
Surely the parents will have suf-
ficient interest to protect their
own children"
WAR ON SPEEDERS
At the same time Major Brown
called for intensified efforts to cut
down speeding.
speeding must be stopped If
the growing number of deaths
among our children is to be
halted" Major Brown said.

Linder case, the Coroner'S jury

DWyer, Grilled on Confession,
Calls 1t Born of Fear of Carroll
Acted to Prevent
Self Being Slain
He Tells Jury
By JAMES L. KILGALLEN

G.N.S0.-Boyish-looking, 19-year-
old Paul Buddy Dryers veracity
became the vital issue today in the
sensational Carroll murder trial
which is expected to answer the
question:
"Who really killed DR.. James
G. Littlefield and his wife,
Lydia?"
CHANGES STORY
Once Dwyer admitted that he
killed the old country doctor for a
sighting remark about his sweet
heart-Barbara Carroll. And
Dwyer accepted life Imprisonment
for the crime without murmur.
Now he claims that Francis M.
Carroll, father of his former sweet
heart, killed the doctor. The
youth insisted that Carroll, an ex-
deputy sheriff, beat and strangled
DR.. Littlefield in the Dwyer home
the night of October 10 last and
two days later strangled Mrs.
Littlefield on Turkey HILL" a
lonely road near here, as she sat
in an automobile with the fright
ened Dwyer-the body of her hus-
band in the car trunk unknown to
her. ~
CONFESSION READ
Today, while Dwyer was under
cross-examination in Sweltering
courtroom, the defense read to the
jury a confession signed by Dwyer
when he was arrested at North
Arlington, N. j., nearly 10 months
ago in which the boy admitted
both crimes. In that confession he
didn't implicate Carroll in any
way.
From the stand today Dwyer
told the jury that when he was
brought back to Maine, Carroll
visited him in the county Jail
and warned him to keep his
mouth shut" 1t was the first
explanation he has given for his
apparent willingness to take the
punishment for the crime he now
claims Carroll committed.
Dwyer has testified that after
DR.. Littlefield was slain and the
body put in a trunk on the rear
of the Littlefield car, it was Car
roll who suggested he take Mrs.
Littlefield away from South Paris.
TOURED So HOURS

Dryer had driven the physicians

Nazi eyes. the Dinarics are reliable,

They are short-tempered and excit
able but nevertheless make gifted mer-
| chants, actors and musicians and in
general are second only to the Nordics
in talent, and on the same level with
the Falics, Guenther says.
Physically. Guenther reports the
Dinarics to be tall, short-headed, long
faced. with fat-backed heads. strongly
pronounced noses. brown or black hair,
brown eyes and brownish skin.
East Battles, on the other hand, are
short in stature and shart-headed.
Guenther says. They are wide faced
and small-chinned, with wide, massive
lower jaws, rather wide concave noses
coarse blond hair, prominent light eyes
| and pale skins.
Phsychologically the East Baltic is
dreamer, Guenther finds He is
indecisive and yields himself up to
fantasies, ignoring realities. He is a
fatalist. He is also malicious. false,
envious. vindictive and brutal, espe-
cially in his sex life, Guenther re-
ports.

The Falic race Is a remnant of an
old Stone Age European stock, Guen-
ther believes. Some authorities con-
slider it variation of the Nordic rare.

The Falics take life seriously, Guen-
ther says, and are steadfast and re-
liable. On the other hand, they are

to move-and cranky. They make ex-
cellent public officials and concierges.

ferior to the Nordic in attack, but ad-
mirable on the defense, he says.
Physically the Falics are very tall,
with long to medium heads, wide faces
and prominent chins and wide lower
jaws, according to Guenther. Their
noses are of medium width. their hair
is blond, their eyes cavernous and blue
or gray, their skins fair.
The Westic strain in the German
people inspires few Nazis to enthusi-
asm. DR.. Jens Paulsen. for example,
finds the Westics vain, self-assertive,
restless and democratic. Guenther re-
ports them to be excitable. talkative,
emotional, changeable, strongly sexed,
unfaithful to their wives and untruth-
full.

Sheklung, so miles east of Canton,
and Poklo, 80 miles farther east, with
out opposition from anti-aircraft units
which apparently had moved farther
inland.
Canton was a scene of great confu-
sion and activity. Towboats were
crowded with women and children
trying to get away. Department stores
packed up their wares in attempts to
save the merchandise. An estimated
100000 refugees sWarmed westward
and northward before the invaders.
A new regulation prohibited any
able-bodied Chinese male from leav-
ing the city.

EARLY WAR DEBT
ACCORD FORECAST:
France and England Then
Could Renew Credit, Says
Paris Newspaper.
By the Associated Press,

PARIS, Oct. 18.-The financial
newspaper, Agence Economique ct
Financiere, predicted today that Brit
ish and French war debts to the United
States would be settled after the
American elections next month.
The newspaper, which is close to the
ministry of finance, declared France
then would, moreover, benefit from
the possibility of obtaining important
credits" in the United States.
In view Of the evolution in attitude
OF governing circles in the United
States as well as in England" said the
newspaper. 1T seems normal to con-
slider that after the elections to be
held November in the United States
1t will be possible to examine and settle
the problem Of war debts with the en-
tire breadth of view necessary.
In other words, one can hope that
American and English financial mar
kets will finally see the disappearance
Of the prohibition against foreign Sc
curity issues which has SO considerably
hampered normal functioning OF the
classic rules for international circula-
tion Of capital between the nations
linked by the tri-partite accord"
The tri-partite monetary stabiliza-
ton accord was concluded by the
United States, Britain and France in
October, 1896. Because Britain and
France defaulted on their war debt
payments to the United States they
are forbidden by the johnson Act tc
float loans in the United States.
Should debt settlement be affected,
the financial article continued, France,
which should rapidly find solid finan-
cial equilibrium thanks to measures
which will be taken, would moreover
benefit from the possibility Of obtain
ing important credits.
The possibility would Immediately
bring about greater flexibility not only
in interior policies but also in regard
to action on international questions. "
The newspaper added that the
French Stock Exchange was very well
aware of these eventualities."

Ostic human neutrality-suspicious.
culturally incapable, lacking in en-

clares in one OF his books.
These seem harsh words to apply to
a race which the NaAs themselves
say has provided 20 per cent of all
the blood in the veins Of the German
people, more than any other race ex-
cept the Nordics. Yet Rosenberg
abuses the Ostics in even stronger
terms, and others equally orthodox

Race Is Held Worthless.
The Ostic race, says Rosenberg, Is
without worth of its own" and in
spite Of all Germanization has re-
mained essentially superstitious and

Democracy in the sphere Of poll

suit of commercial undertakings
promising profit-these are the
frightful symptoms Of alpine (Ostic)
domination of the whole life Of Eu-
rope"
Prof. Hans F. K. Guenther, leading
NaN academic authority on race
theory, also finds the Ostics unlovely.
They are, he says, narrow minded and
cautious, they are "joiners," and they
cannot take joke. In fact, Guen-
ther finds the Ostics typical middle
class" an insult on Nazi lips.
Flourish in Industry.
Ostics flourish in big industrial
cities better than other European
races. according to Guenther, who,
like mos Nazis, regards this as the
moral equivalent Of flourishing under
a stone. And, worse still from the
Nazi point Of view, the Ostics believe
in human equality and incline to be
liberals or socialists, while in general
being followers rather than leaders.
On the other hand there are a few
things to be said for the Ostic. Guen-
ther finds. He is patient, he is at
tached to his family, his community
and his countryside (although incap-
able Of truly national sentiments), he
is a good neighbor and a quiet and
obedient subject.

BUDAPEST, Oct. 18 (N.A.N.A.),-
The cardinal factor in Central and
Southern Europe today and the surest
guide for the future is the vast stimu-
lus given to native Nazi-isms by the
sweeping victory of their German pro-
totype and protector.
The authoritarian and centralized
regimes of South Central Europe hith-
erto looked somewhat askance at the
Nazi parties as a potential menace to
their own power and as opposition to
their own foreign policies and commit
ments. Thus Rumania suppressed the
Nazi Iron Guard" and sentenced its
leader, Codreanu, to 10 years impris-
onment. In Hungary, whose Nazis
have been divided by factional strife,
and elsewhere there has been a certain
pressure. though less vigorously ap-
piled.
The general situation has been some
what similar to that of Austria before
"anschluss," where the "Fatherland
Front" held its ground against Nazi-
ism despite the latter's strength in
many country districts, in some sec
tions of the army and among the
younger elements of the urban popu-
lation.
Predominance Is Seen.
"Anschluss" naturally STRENGTHENED
Nazl-lsm everywhere, but the effects
OF the Munich agreement were SO in
f1nitely greater that it seems merely q
question of time before the Nazi par
ties achieve predominance. How lone
that time will be depends upon circum-
stances, both internal and extraneous
OF the various countries and, of course
primarily upon Hitler, who may be ir
no hurry, although the significance OF
the latest Slovakian DEGREES against the
Communists and the Jews cannot be
ignored
In Hungary, too, there is growing
antl-Semitism, especially in the rura
districts. On the other hand, one o1
the powerful factors in the Hungarian
situation is the desire for recovery oi
regions cut off by the World Wal
peace treaties. Its potency may b<
diminished by the passage of 20 years
but it explains the intense eagerness
of the Hungarian government to wir
popular support and credit by getting
back the largest possible amount o1
che area allotted to Czechoslovakia.
To Continue to Press Demands.
Hence the rupture of the Komarom
negotiations, the mobilization of five
classes Of Hungarian troops and the
airplane visits by Hungarian ministers
to Munich and Rome, not to mention
the intense diplomatic activity in
other capitals and the vigorous press
campaign against "Slovak border out
RACES" similar to that in Germany on
behalf of the Sudetens.
That the Hungarian government
will continue to press its demands may
be taken for granted, in order to hold
its position toward the Nazis, but il
seems hardly conceivable that 1t will
venture any forceful action unless II
is sure that Hitler will not disapprove
And, in this respect, doubt is evidently
permissible, as present indications
show that Germany is on the way te
assume full control of Czechoslovakia
and it may well be that Hitler will moi
allow measures to be taken against 9
state which he henceforth regards a.
vassal or semi-colony which he
might have encouraged had said STATE
remained an enemy or an obstacle.
