Hitler To Relax On Aged

Puts "Catch" In 1t

London, Dec. 29.-(AP)-Robert t.
PEEL, assistant director of the Inter
national Refugee Committee, said to-
day that Adolf Hitler had agreed to
relax his campaign against elderly
German Jews, provided their children
emigrate as soon as possible.
Pell said he would go to Germany
within the next two weeks to work
out plans for the removal of approx
mately $50 CCJ active young Jews.
He said the refugee committee would
ask specific assurances that ELDERLY
Jews would be guaranteed a decent
living.

Rublee, director of the committee
Joseph Cotton, of New York, and a
British financial expert. They will see
Field Marshal Hermann Goering, US
ing suggestions outlined recently in
London by DR.. Schacht, president Of
the German tReichsbank, as a basis
for negotiation.
Under this plan, governments SYM
pathetic to Jews would be asked to
increase their purchases of German
goods, and Germany, in return, would
devote a fraction of the foreign ex-
change thus provided to enable Jews
to transfer their money into foreign
currency.
Originally, the Schacht plan called
for removal of all Jews-some 700
OO0-from Germany. But German lead
ers were represented as feeling now
that an, attempt to remove 10000
younger Jews with financial aid from
foreign governments and,rich Jews in
Germany would be more practical.
The problem has been complicated
by general hardening of opinion
throughout the British Empire toward
accepting Jews as immigrants.

Expelled By
Stock Board

New York, Dec. 29.-(AP) = The
New York Stock Exchange announced
today the expulsion from its member
ship of J. A. Sisto general partner
in a brokerage firm of that name.
The announcement of the expulsion

Sisto had been expelled on three gen
eral charges.
The first charge said he had caused
the Sisto Financial Corporation, of
which he was president and direc-
tor, and which he dominated and con-
trolled, to purchase from him at $23
a share a total of 1000 shares of the
stock of Sisto Financial Corporation,
which he had purchased about the
same time for $1512 IL.
Sisto also was found guilty of hav-
ing charged "by erasure" his trading
personal and corporation accounts
during the last seven months of 1887,
A third charge of which the exchange
found him guilty asserted that on 80
different days in 1887 his firm had
conducted transactions for Sisto Fin
ancial in a cash account which were
not bonafide cash transactions.

Washington, Dec. 29.-(AP)- Sena-
'N~ Rark'ev Of Kentucky, the majority
leader, said today that if non-par-

investigate Complaints Of disgruntle6
relief applicants, he would be in favor
of having VPA select the boards.
: Emphasizing that no legislation
would leo needed to set up s,ch appea
boards. Barl1lev sold he believes any
such acton probably would involve q
change in the methods of final deter
mination of those eligible for relic
jobs.
He said that the eligibility lists
from which relief workers now are
hired by the WPA usually were COM
piled by a certifying agent appointed
by the county judge or some other
local official.
When relief applicants compla!,
that they have been denied q place or
the rolls, their complaints eventually
must be referred to the same certify
ing officials.

President Roosevelt, anxious to re-
serve all possible time between now

Old Age Issue

Raleigh, Dec. 29-There is a strange
perhaps it's ominous-quiet and a
noticeable lack of pep, interest and
enthusiasm in any revision or re-
vamping of North Caronna's old age
pension system during the coming
session of the General Assembly.
This is in such marked contrast to
existing conditions in other states.
and in the Federal Congress, as to
suggest that it's one of those vol
canic issues which shoulder and
smoke along quite sluggishly until
all of sudden the top blows off with
loud and boisterous bang.
In short, there are all the poten-
tialities for a good, old-fashioned
knock down and drag-out battle if
ever the legislators get into the no
ton to start one.
Supposing, for instance, that some
fellow gets an idea that payments ir
North Carolina are entirely too low,
he can toss a grenade of staggering
and startling statistics to prove that,

ITALY WANTS TUNIS

Forms New Plan To
Put Before Chamber
lain on His Visit Next
Month

Paris, Dec. 29.-(AP)-Italy
was reported in diplomatic cir
Giles today to have indicated she
will seek to internationalize
Tunisia to remove the territory
from strict French control.
Apparently baked in any idea of
winning territory for Italy by the
rising tide of French defensive meas
ures, Premier Mussolini was report
ed in usually we'll informed circles
to have formulated a new plan for
presentation to Premier Chamber
lain when the latter visits Rome next
month.
Sources close to the foreign office
said simultaneously Premier Cham
berlain had promised to keep the
French-Italian fight over Djibouti off
the agenda when he visits Rome. The
British premier also was said to have
promised to back up a French stand
against transferring any territory to
Italy. Nevertheless, it was foreseen
that he would have a difficult time
avoiding discussion on the status of
Tunisia, which is inextricably bound
up with any discussion of Mediterran-
can problems.
French thought that Premier Mus
solini's approach to Chamberlain will
be based on the thesis that Tunisia is
legally an independent country un-
der French protection, and that the
Bey of Tunis is the independent SOW
ereign. The italian argument might
be that France had received an in
ternatlonal mandate to protect Tun-
lsla and that she had abused that
duty.
