NAWTOPURCHASE
CENTER SITE SOON
Agreement on Southern
Boundary of 194-Acre
Tract Reached.

Purchase Of 1874 acres OF land on
the east side of the Rockville road AS
q site for the new naval medical CEN
ter will begin at once as the re-
suit of an agreement on the southern
boundary of the proposed tract reached
late yesterday.
Under the agreement. the Navy De-
partment eliminated a section totaling
AZ acres along the southern boundary
of the proposed site because of dif7i-
Guilty in connection with the reloca-
ton Of Jones Bridge road.
Definite boundaries will not be an
nounced until negotiations have pro-
gressed to a point which will deter
mine whether condemnation pro-
ceedings will be necessary to acquire
any of the property, 1t was explained.
Originally it had been proposed to
purchase 2l5 acres extending north
along the Rockville road from the
boundary line of the real estate de-
veiopment just north Of Bethesda.
Md. Decision to eliminate the ~
acres involved in the Jones Bridge
road area will not materially affect
plans for the development of the
proposed medical center, it was ex-
planned.
1t is understood the tract to be
acquired extends eastward from the
Rockville road to the boundary OF
Rock Creek Park
Plans for construction Of the first
unit of the medical center, a 600-bed
hospital building, now are being re-
drawn to conform with wishes of the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Fine Arts Commits
sion, which objected to original plans
calling for building with a high
center tower. The tower will be elimi-
mated from the new plans. which
probably will be submitted to the two
commissions next month.

MOONEY LOSES HIS APPEAL TO

Tribunal Refuses to Review Case Unless New Evi-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. - The Supreme Court refused to review Thomas Mooney's appeal for re- lease from San Quentin Prison where he is serving life for the 1916 Preparedness Day parade bombing in San Francisco.
 Justices Black and Reed took the rarely used step in denoting their dissent of courts order and which apparently closes the door for any hope that Mooney may obtain re- lease through court action unless new evidence is discovered. The re- fusal to review the case means the highest court in the land declines to interfere with the decision against Mooney by the California State Su- preme Court.

 The statement apparently arose out of unverified reports in two Lon- don newspapers that Col. Lindbergh had been critical of the Soviet Air force.
 Col. Lindbergh himself, it is un- derstood here, has made no com ment on the reports.
 The Moscow statement is signed by eleven Soviet airmen, including Civil Aviator Chief Vastly Molokoff Ten of the group are designated of- ficially as "heroeS of the Soviet Union

 BRITISH STATESMEN
Observers Interpret Views to Mean Invasions
 Contemplated

BERLIN, Oct 10.-Informed Nazi circles interpret Hitler's speech, made yesterday at Saarsbrucken, as warning not only to Germany but to the world, that the future still carries war dangers.
 The Chancellor, who has stated that the Czechoslovakia conquest was won easily from Great Britain and France, declared in his speech yesterday, that Germany is ready for policy of understanding with our neighbors but Germany is pre- pairing herself defensively, more than ever"
 Flying Britishers
 Chancellor indicated that Ger many will continue, especially on a defensive program, and incidentally will keep "an eagle eye" on three British statesmen, former Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, former First Lord of the Admiralty Alfred Duff Cooper, who resigned last week because of the British Foreign poli- cy as regards Czechoslovakia, and Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty during the World War. The Chancellor described the three named as ''leftovers from Yer SailleS."
 Security First
 The Nazi Chancellor said the ex- perience of Germany during the past eight months shows we must strengthen our determination to be careful and leave nothing undone for our security and rights. There are those abroad who do not want peace constructed in their states Such men can be supplanted at any time by others"
 The Chancellor said he was de- cided Germany will continue to build up Qualifications with increas- ed intensity.
 Foreign observers believe Hitler plans to continue his acquiring ot more possessions" for Germany either by the means and methods used in annexing the Sudetenland or by conquest, and also that he fears certain Britishers, notwith- standing tn a t Premier Neville Chamberlain will give Germany anything wanted"
 The Foreign observers also admit that Germany now is better armed both by air forces and land troops than ever before and fears no na- ton.
