member of the Federal Trade
Commission for seven years, finds
his number up for the rotating
chairmanship of the commission,
which office he will assume jan
uary l..
He smokes black straight stem
pipe, lives in one of those stately
old houses in Alexandria, meditates
profoundly and functions with de.
hberate but unfailing precision in
the no mans land of quasi judicial
administration. A veteran onlooker
tells me Judge Davis can plow
through a Sargossa Sea of legal
and statistical seaweed more quickly
than any man he knows, without
ever putting on forced draught. His
career is the Southern idyli Of the
farm boy small town lawyer, Judge,
Congressman and elder statesman.
While he doesn't run to impas-
stoned utterance, his was the longest
speech ever made in Congress, with
out filibuster. That was when he
made, and won, a one-man fight
against $50,000,00o in shipbuilders'
claims, after the World War, which
he regarded as a grab. He was q
lone dlssenter on the House Mer-
chant Marine Committee, which had
lndorsed the claims, and he carried
his fight to the floor of Congress
and defeated the bill.
Another of his famous short-end
engagements, in which he took the
decision. was his fight against the
radio trust" 10 years ago, in his
last term in Congress. He got be-
lore the Department of Justice and
the Federal Trade Commission eyi-
dence which had been barred by
previous court decision, and brought
about consent decree by the radio
interests. In this engagement, he
was credited with notable achieves
ment in unsnarling and fairly allo.
eating the air channels.
His family moved from the farm
to Tullahoma, Tenn, before he was
5. He attended Vanderbilt and
George Washington Universities. He
was elected Circuit Court Judge and
IN l9l7 went to Congress without
opposition and served until 1881.

Poles Ruled With Iron Hand
By German Conquerors
Executions and Property Seizures
Enforce Demands of Officials

has been re-arranged according to
German plans and ideologies. The
German labor front, here, too, COM
prises employers and employees.
Every effort is made to restore
prosperity to these regions. Surplus
food is exported to other sections of
the Reich. Coal and raw materials
to keep the industries going are sup
piled as far as this is possible in war
times.
Names GermaniZed.
The Polish language may not be
spoken on the streets. Polish in
scriptions have had to disappear. 1t
generally is assumed that men who
elect to become Germans but who
have Polish names will have to
"Germanize' their names. Thus, the
Wylczynskis are likely to become the
Wolfs of Posen, the Mlynarskis the
Muellers, and so on.
From present appearances many
of the Poles remaining in the cur
Deutsch" region will elect to become
Germans rather than run the risk
of losing everything by forcible dis
possession.
Trials are taking place daily in
these regions of Poles charged with
having murdered or tortured their
German neighbors during the weeks
preceding the German invasion of
Poland. It is believed by some OBJ
servers that several thousand Poles
we're court-martialed and executed
An outstanding case was that of the
former Mayor of Bromberg (Byd-
goszcz) who was executed November
IL, charged with being responsible
for the "bloody Sunday"-September
10-and stealing municipal funds.
Realty Sales Voided.
All purchases of real estate con-
tracted in these "ur-Deutsch" reg
ions after 1918 were declared null
and void and the owners were or
dered to leave the country.
At Gdynia. the Polish Baltic sea-
port, the dispossessions were espe-
cially numerous. since this city of
100000 inhabitants was built almost
exclusively with Polish money.
At first it looked as though all the
Poles would be elected ruthlessly
from Gdynia, the corridor region
Posen Province and Upper Silesia
More recently. however, there has
been let-up. Just what this let-up
means, nobody in authority seems
willing to divulge.
There has been no let-up as far
as the Jews are concerned. They
are being sent out relentlessly to the
Jewish reservation" in Eastern Po-
land.

British Speeding
Plane Output al Rate
Of One Every Hour
French Producing
400 q Month; 1000
Delivered From U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

British aircraft factories were de-
scribed in authoritative reports to-
day to be turning out warplanes at
the rate of more than one an hour
in an effort to assure air supremacy
over Germany.
After lag in production at the
start of the European war, aviation
quarters said, British planes are be-
ing rolled off assembly lines at a
speed we'll above 1000 a month.
French production, too, was mount
ed substantially to probably 400
planes month.
The reports supported the state
ment of Britain's air minister, Sir
Kingsley Wood, in the House of
Commons this week that THE mere
numerical output of today is more
than twice what it was last year"
British-French production is be-
ing supplemented materially by the
planes turned out to their order by
American plants. Exact figures are
lacking, but it is believed that such
orders have been increased to more
than 1000 by contracts placed since
the arms embargo was lifted on
November 4.
Upward of 1000 American air.
craft already have been delivered.
More than 900 planes were COM
pleted before the embargo became
effective, and about 300 others were
ready for delivery when the ban was
lifted.
ct was disclosed in Paris
Thursday night that the first con-
signment of American planes
since the embargo was repealed
had reached France safely. The
number was not divulgedD
How many warplanes Germany is
producing in the meantime is a
matter of conjecture. BY some esti-
mates, Nazi factories are capable OF
an output of more than 1000 a
month.

WARSAW-The inhabitants of
what remains of Poland are being
taught implicit obedience to orders
by the German administration in
the occupied area and unquestion-
ing respect for German official an
nouncements and posters.
One of the first orders issued
whenever German troops entered
Polish town or village was that all
arms must be surrendered.
Some Poles apparently were not in
too great hurry to comply. They
soon had cause to regret it.
For, with German thoroughness,
houses were Searched. Whenever
arms were found, the owners or re-
sponsible tenants were court-mar-
tailed and executed
An early victim of this policy was
Joseph Sadowski, naturalized
American Pole, age So and chemist
by profession, whose widow lives in
Chicago. Arms were found in the
basement of the house occupied by
Sadowski. it was reported. He was
shot October 81 in Warsaw.
Germans Charge Shipping.
In some cases, Germans charge,
whole villages resorted to sniping.
The German authorities made short
shrift of them; the houses and barns
were set on fire and inhabitants
machine-gunned.
Posters of German origin appeared
one day on Warsaw walls depicting
bleeding Polish soldier who points
at the ruins of Warsaw and says to
Chamberlain, England, this is your
work.
A Polish university student, Eliza
beth Zahorska, 20, was court-mar-
tailed and condemned to death on
the charge she was caught in the act
of tearing down such a poster.
The University of Warsaw is
closed, apparently in fear lest it be-
come a hotbed of subversive move
ments.
Even secondary schools have been
closed since mid November - ito
guard against the possibility of an
epidemic it was announced ofici-
ally. 1t probably is not amiss to
guess that the decision was hastened
by the fact that pupils in those
schools often shouted through open
windows, Long Live Poland! Long
Live Gen. Sikorski!" premier of
the Polish government in France.)
Officers Held as Hostages.
On the eve of Armistice Day the
German authorities, taking no
chances on a possible observance of
this day by the Poles, seized all
regular army officers who hitherto
had escaped imprisonment. The
population was told they were hos
tages who would be executed in case
any Armistice Day demonstrations
were organized. The day passed of
quietly, however, and the hostages
were released gradually.
Life has become normal fastest in
those sections of former Poland
winch the Germans regarded as "ur-
Deutsch" German to the core) and
which were incorporated promptly
in the Greater Reich.
In Posen, Pommerellen and former
Polish Upper Silesio German streets
and business signs everywhere have
replaced those in Polish. Branches

Restrictions Upon

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TIENTSIN. Dec. l6.-Efects of
the Japanese Army's restrictions on
American business in North China
were reviewed here yesterday fol-
lowing the arrival of United States
Ambassador Nelson T. johnson from
Peiping.
Mr.. Johnson, who conferred with
officials of the American Consulate
General and American Chamber of
Commerce, said only that he came
down to consult Americans about
local conditions"
Those conditions recently were the
subject of vigorous representations
to the State Department in WASH
ington by the local American COM
munity, which charged that their
business is being strangled by the
japanese Army, especially its six
month-old blockade of the foreign
concessions here.
American businessmen are espe-
cially pessimistic about the trade
outlook because of a December 9
statement by 1t. Gen. Masaharu
Homma, commander of japanese
troops at Tientsin, that Japanese
American relations, already pre-
carious," would reach an even more
serious point January 26, with
expiration of the American-Japanese
trade treaty.
American businessmen feel the
Japanese military is determined to
continue restricting American busi-
ness here unless the United States
takes counter measures.
Japanese diplomats in North China
have assumed a disinterested at
titude regarding the treaty abroga-
ton. Sotomatsu .Kato, Japanese
