 Appeal to Admit Them
 we appeal to the mandatory power to admit these Jews into the Jewish National Home and appeal to the British people to support this request" the statement said.
 Lord Winterton in broadcast to the United States outlined British proposals, similar tothose of Cham berlain and said that at least soc, 900 Jews must somehow be taken out of Germany.
 "Obviously,,it is out of the ques- tion for any one government to more than touch the fringe of the problem" he said. That is why his Majesty's government is particular ly grateful to the President of the United States for the warm personal interest he has taken.
 Death of 12 Jews
 London, Nov. 23-CUP)-The news Chronicle published today what it said was an "eye-witness account" of the death of 12 Jews forced to run gauntlet of storm troopers at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. The newspaper said 1t had obtained the account "from sources whose veracity 1t is impossible to doubt It said 62 Jewish prisoners sent to the camp were beaten with whips, clubs and spades.
 The story follows:
 On Nov. il, 12 Policemen arrived at the Sachsenhausen concentration camp with 62 hostages to be deliver ed to the camp commander. Most of those arrested were well-to-do law yers, doctors, landlords, engineers, businessmen and two rabbis.
 "At the gates of the concentration camp stood two guards in the black uniforms of Hitler's death-head battalion. On entering the hostages were ordered to leave the motor coaches and prepared to march to the offices of the camp commander for registration.
 ~Lined Way with Whips
 "But two long ranks of Black Guards lined the way with whips, clubs and spades in their hands. A police officer approached the leader of the troopers and asked for free passage. "He was met with a curt reply that he must deliver the host ages on the spot. There upon the Jews were made to run the garnt- let of shock troopers.
 "They approached between the ranks a hail of blows fell on them. Police unable to bear the cries trned their backs. As they fell the Jews were beaten further. The orgy lasted half an hour.
 '"rhen other prisoners were order- ed to carry them away. Twelve of the 62 were dead, their skulls smashed. All of the others were un- conscious. The eyes of some had been knocked out. Their faces were flattened and shapeless.
 '"The leader of the shock troopers handed a receipt to a police of ficer to show that the correct num- Der had been delivered and the police returned to Berlin"

ca n0Chlng since 1853.
 Das Schwarze Korps then de- nounced the democracies for pro- testing against persecution of the Jews.
 'Their threats always are the same, except that since the Czech crisis they weigh no more than 8 cardboard sword. Their methods of political blackmail are the same if they declare they are unable to make a peaceful settlement with Germany.
 Skip it, Dear Friends! Who is the man among us who doesn't know that you will only grant us such peace anyway as wye wrest from you?
 Tt has been said often: Had we solved the Jewish problem in 1883, absolutely and with the most bru- tai means, the glamour abroad would not have been as big since whenever we undertook, step by step, the measures to which the Jews compelled us to resort.
 Lacked Power Then
 "This opinion in itself is correct. But it must remain theory, be- cause then we lacked the military power which we have today.
 "Then the Jews might easily have succeeded in provoking the people into a war of revenge against us; today even the loudest democratic yellers will ponder such action"
 On it's front page Das Schwarze Korps printed a cartoon which de- picted bare headed "Uncle Sam" orating. The shirt frint was adorned with the leters "U. s. A." and the six pointed star of David. In the background were skyscrap- CTS, a man sizzling in an electric chair and a Negro hanging by the neck, the caption said:
 Thus we protest in the name of humanity against Germany's bar barrie methods"
 Behind Closed Doors
 Goebbels and high party officials addressed an audience at the Kroll Opera House behind closed doors. Two thousand Nazi progagandists attended.
 'The behavior of Jewry in Ger many forces us to adopt a radical and swift solution" Goebbels said.
 We shall not relent."
 Goebbels then made scathing ref erence to members of the British parliament and to the debate in the house of commons Tuesday.
 'If the people of England wish the friendship of Germany they ought not to make this friendship dependent upon Germany's domes- tic political conditions. The Ger man nation today no longer toler- ates governess-like patronising."
 Goebbels specifically attacked Philip Noel-Baker, Lord zetland and James Maxton, who participant ed in the debate.
 Germany Will Not Be Alone
 Then word for word Goebbels re- peated the passage from the edi- torial of Das Schwarze Korps pre- dieting that within a few years Germany will not longer be the only state defending itself against the Jews" and offering Germany's good example and rich experience. {"
 The official version of Goebbels address said that he had pointed out he was convinced that the Paris murder as well as the mur- der of the Nazi district leader in Switzerland, Wilhelm Gustloff. was planned long before hand for the purpose of provoking the German people.
 "The reaction from New York;" the official version quoted Goebbels, was not surprising for there are 100000 Jews in New York, but New York is not the United States. D

 Strange Contrast
 The bridegroom and his father in-law presented strange contrast. The gangling and raw-boned Robison was unshaven, tie askew, and his suit was rumped from his long train ride. Greene, short, heavy-set and graying, was dressed neatly and ex- pensively. Rohison said they had been family friends for years. He said Greene had known Velma all her life.

SHANGHAI. May 24.-The Japa-
nese offensive to choke all China s
railways today rolled toward Kaifeng,
ancient capital of Honan Province
and 40 miles east of the important
junction at Chengchow.
Japanese planes bombed Kaifeng
in morning attack and claimed de-
struction of 10 trains and consider
able trackage. The station at Cheng-
chow also was bombed, impeding COM
munications east therefrom.
japanese artillery, tanks and caval-
ry were moving toward Kaifeng, fol-
lowed by infantry. which captured the
old city's key defenses at Lanfeng.
The nearest Japanese column was
fighting its way along the Lunghai
about Chaotaoying, is miles east Of
Kaifeng.
(Hankow dispatches said several
were killed at Kaifeng by aerial
bombardment and that the fight
ing a few miles east could be
heard within the city,
BY their capture of Suchow last week
the japanese broke the great East
West Lunghai Railway at is juno
ton with the North-South Tientsin-
Pukow Railroad.
BY taking Kaifeng and then Cheng-
chow, 180 miles west of Suchow, the
Japanese could cut the Lunghai's
junction with the Peiping- -Hankow
line and facilitate an eventual drive
toward Hankow itself, where is main
tanned the temporary headquarters Of
China Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek's government
The japanese plan appeared to be
to straddle the Peiping- -Hankow Rail
road and coordinate a southwark
drive against Hankow with flanking
offensives through Anhwei and Honan
Provinces.
Kaifeng, which is a major defense
before Suchow, is situated strategically
on a sandy plain six miles south OF
the Yellow River and is surrounded
by a series Of dikes and embankments
against recurring foods.

It was early in 1864 that MIR. Smith
learned, after long delay, of the
death of his father. He applied for
and received furlough to go home to
ST. Mary's County. Even death in
the family, however. didn't keep the
Yankees from taking the young SOL

was told the Federal officers were de-
batting whether to shoot him as spy.
Only the furlough signed by Gen. Lee

through the two -Sudeten German
deputies, Karl Hermann Frank and
Ernst Kundt, who remained in
Praha.
Morning newspapers prominently
published government appeals to the
citizenry to continue to observe ex-

While particular emphasis was laid
on the necessity of avoiding political
demonstrations likely to lead to. new
clashes, citizens also were warned that
panicky withdrawal of bank deposits
in a time of crisis could Illustrate all
patriotism shown in other directions.
To Britain and France were attrib-
lfted firm assurances of s,iny1orf
against aggression before Sundays

understood here that these assurances
were predicated on an agreement for
the negotiations begun last night.
Basis for discussions was a project
ed minorities statute covering govern

siding in Czechoslovakia, although
Henlein has indicated repeatedly he
would not accept it as satisfactory for
the 3,500,0 German minority.
Henlein's Sudeten party announced
that his meeting with the Czecho-
slovak premier marked "the beginning
of informative talks with the premier
which are to serve as a Qualification
