THIRD TERM WILL
 GET NO WACERS

Washington, Sept. 1--(UP)-The Capitol Daily, a newspaper devoted to government affairs, said today that Lloyds of London, insurance underwriters, were unwilling to quote "any rates for or against" a third term for President Roosevelt.
 In a copyrighted story, publishers of the Daily said that they planned to expand their activities by pub- fishing a weekly until the end of the Roosevelt administration. To protect themselves against losses in event Mir. Roosevelt's administration should not continue beyond 1040, they sought insurance from Lloyds. They were refused with this expian- ntion by Lloyd's American agents: !.

COUNTING DEAD IN
 JAPAN TYPHOON
34 Deaths in Area of To- kyO-WhOle Section
 Has Been Wrecked

Tokyo, Sept. 1, (UP)-A typhoon which lashed Japan with winds and rain for 12 hours left the Tokyo area filtered with wreckage today and brought a mounting death toll as police and rescue parties sent casual ty reports. Deaths'in the Tokyo area reached 34. In addition II persons were killed in Gumma prefecture by landslides and scores were missing at the village of Tadagami, mun- dated when a swollen river over- flowed its banks. The coast was strewn with stranded steamships and there was fear for many little fishing vessels, caught at sea in the storm.
 Damage in the Tokyo area was severe, and the storm left people fearful of another, with the possibil- ity that it might bring tidal wave in its wake.
 The storm was the worst in 32 years, and to increase popular ter- TOT it came on the anniversary of the 1923 earthquake in which nearly 100000 persons were killed.
 It struck the Tokyo area at Yoko- hama in the early hours of this morning. At once electric wires be- gan snapping and area by area the city was darkened. Trees were up- rooted, 1000 houses in all were food ed, great waves smashed over wharves, street cars, busses and all other street traffic stoppedA Train service was halted, rivers rose,' live wires lay in the streets with debris torn from houses. Despairing whistle blasts could be heard from ships in harbor. calling for help which none could give.

Mussolini, Hitler On Intern ationaI Stage
Bo, Act Quickly to Regain Limelight They Lost Over Peace Moves-Jews, Catholics Pay-Czechs
 Still Bother Them
By JOE ALEX MORRIS ,itad Press Staff COrreSDOndentl

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 Europe's totalitarian partners Fascist Premier Benito Mussolini and Nazi Fuehrer Adolf Hitler--act- ed swiftly today to regain the center of the international stage.
 In Rome, Mussolini diverted at tention from the united democratic front for peace by drastic cabi- net decree ordering all foreign Jews resident in Italy, Libya and the Dodecanese Islands since 1919 to leave within six months. All Jews who acquired Italian citizenship after Jan. i, 1919, also were ordered out.
 The decree was stunning blow to Italy's 44,000 Jews in view of per- sistent belief that the Fascist pre- mier would not press vigorously the racial program which had brought him into renewed conflict with the Catholic church.
 Body Blow At Catholics
 In Vienna, Hitler announced through the editor of the Voelkisch- CT Beobachter that all religious schools in Austria, including the Roman Catholic parochial schools, will be closed permanently.
 These developments in domestic policy of the Fascist-Nazi powers turned attention at home away from the international crisis over Czecho- slovakia, which had run strongly against the totalitarian states for a week as Great Britain lined up other powers and sounded out the United States in an effort to ward of a new world war.
 At his retreat near Berchtesgaden, however, Hitler was forced to turn from inspection of German war maneuvers to ponder decision on the Czech quarrel.
 Konrad Henlein, leader of the Czech Nazi party, carried to Hitler the new maximum concessions which the Prague government of fered in response to the demands of the Sudeten German minority. He carried too, the gentle advice of British mediators that cooperation would mean important economic benefits for the Sudetens; that force against the Czechs means war.
 Hitler Faces Problems
 The Nazi fuehrer, weighing rejec- ton or acceptance of the new au- tonomy proposals as basis for nego- tiation, must consider many com plex factors:
 The lineup of democratic powers which virtually have declared they will fight if Germany invades Czechoslovakia.
 The annual Nazi party rally be- fore which the fuehrer must appear next week at Nuremberg and, prob- ably, Ihe simultaneous meeting oi the Reichstag.
 The angry comment in the Berlin press this morning on reports that Czechs fired across the frontier or two German officials.
 The probability that minority ne- gotiations at Prague will be hope lessly deadlocked--and that tht British mediator. iVscount Runci- man, will be forced to abandon hi task-linless tine Sudetens now makI some show of cooperation toward [ peaceful solution.

Edict Of Italy

Rome, Sept. l-(UP)-The cabi- net approved decree today ordey- ing all foreign Jews who took u.. residence in Italy, Lihya and tho. Dodecanese Islands after Jan. 1. 1919. to leave the territory within six months.
 The decree also includes All for. eign~ Jews who acquired Itaiian citA izenship after Jan. 1 1919.
 The cabinet also decided that henceforth no more foreign Jews may establish permanent residence in Italy, Libya or the Dosecapese Islands. No mention was made 7f Ethiopia.
 All Italian citizenships granted to foreign Jews after Jan. 1, 1919 are revoked.
 Designating Jews
 The decree said the Fascist gov- ernment considers a person to be Jewish if both parents were of the Jewish race, even if he professes a religion other than Jewish.
 While various minor oppressive measures have been taken against Jews in Italy, the present decree is the most drastic step yet taken un- der the governments new doctrine of "racialism."
 Nearly 5000 Affected
 Estimates of the number of Jews living in Italy range from 44,O00 to 48,000 of a population of 5o,O0O, 1000 There are probably 5000 foreign Jews living in Italy as students, most of them studying medicine or law. No estimate Is available of the number of foreign Jews living here permanently, in business and the professions.
 Mussolini's racial program, sud. denly announced this summer, was and immediately caused strained relations between the Fas- cist government and the Holy See, which took a positinon of stern op- position to racial discrimination.
 Some Married Jews
 There have been indications that some powerful Fascist leaders did not approve of the racial program Some prominent Fascists such as Filippo Anfuso and Achille Ter ruzbzi, married Jews. One of the close friends of Air Marshal Italo Balbo is Jewish colonel of Cara bineers,
 Most powerful figures behind the anti-Jewish campaign were said to be Count Galeazzo Ciano, foreign

 Davis, Schultz's Attorney Gen eral," has named Schultz as the killer. Ranney said he believed Davis may have lured Martin to the meeting with Schultz.
 Unable To Proceed
 E Ranfley revealed that he was an- able to proceed against Davis cr the basis of a statement made two weeks ago in which Davis admitted he was present when Martin was slain during an argument in Co., hoes, N. Y. hotel on March 3, 1885. In the statement, Davis named Dutch Schultz as the killer of Mar tin.
 The prosecutor said Davis made the statement only after he had ex- acted an agreement that it would be considered privileged confes- sion--in other words that it could not be used as the basis for crim- inal charges. .
 Ranney said that he had mace no pledge not to prosecute jf evil dence from other sources coui" be found and that he had decidea 70 attend the James J. Hines trial in

Speaking of saints, departed

Of recent years, however, num-
Der of revered persons have been
regarded as saints and any honest
criticism one may make of them
draws the immediate fire of the
militant organizations behind
them.
We do not believe that any

ter, to whom the title of saint
could rightfully be applied, stands
in need of defense and quick
