Extension Of Service to

By Premier Kung

CHUNGKING, China, Jan. 25.-
Premier H. H. Kung today an
nounced agreements for new air
services to link China with the out
side world by way Of British Burma
Kung said the Chinese govern
ment had authorized the British I'M
perial Always to extend service to
Kungming, capital of the South
western Province of Yunnan. In re-
turn Britain permitted China Ma
tional Aviation Corp. planes to enter
Burma and India.
This, 1t was explained, will mean
opening Of air transport linking
Chungking, China's provisional cap
ital. with Rangoon, Port of Burma,
by way of Running and Mandalay,
a centuries-old camel trade route.
The Premier pointed out that the
facilities of the Burma route took
the place of those by way of Brit
ish Hong Kong, lost to China when
the Japanese captured Canton late
in November and disrupted commu-
nications between Hong Kong and
the still-resisting parts of China.
Since the Chungking- Hong Kong
air service was stopped the best
route for travel from Chungking to
the outside has been the Chung
king-KWeiyang Running Manda-
lay-Rangoon highway system recent
ly traversed by United States AM
bassador Nelson T. Johpson. This
route, however, requires about two
weeks to cover by motor car under
favorable conditions.

ROME, Jan. 25.-Italy called co.
600 army reservists born in 1901 to
the colors today for training and
instruction and at the same time
warned France anew against help
ing the hard-pressed Spanish gov
ernment.
An announcement that a first
quota" of 10000 men had been sum-
moned for duty February / indi-
Gated that more reservists might be
called up later.
The announcement did not con-
meet the summons with current ten
sion between Italy and France, in
which there has been talk of France
occupying the Island of Minorca,
near Mallorca, on which there is an
Italian airbase, in the event of a
Spanish insurgent victory. Both
islands are in Spain's Balearics, in
the Mediterranean.
But foreign military observers re-
marked that it was unusual to call
reservists for their periodic training
in winter.

clared excessive" by Informazione

cation. Among many speeches one

livered by Deputy Xavier Vallat,

The entire five-man crew of a Ger

plane were killed today when their
machine, believed to be from the
Spanish insurgent airforce, crashed
at Abrams, France, Is miles south

was of German make. Other
officials sought to learn why the
plane crashed on French soil some
100 miles northwest of the Catalon-

The experts announced that the
machine was Heinkel plane. Bomb
racks IN the wrecked plane were
empty. Two machine-guns and
1000 unexploded machine-gun cart
ridges were found in the cabin.
The plane was riddled with bull

porate set-up and the reasonable
ness of its charges.
The first witness was James H
Shinn, an official of the New York

Mr.. Shinn began a description of
activities of the Utilities Manage

Last week, A. G.. & E. witnesses,
on advice of counsel. declined to
testify on the ground the Power
Commission did not have juris-

time, counsel charged the COM

local matters in an effort to provide
the Pennsylvania Public Utilities
Commission with information on
which to prosecute alleged infrac-
tlons OF statutes regulating SER
vice rates and utility management.
Charles M. Travis, chief defense
counsel, said the company changed
It's position in the belief it would
be detrimental to the interests
OF the company's security holders
and its customers to have any in
ference drawn, by refusal to testify,
that there was anything in the
conduct of the affairs of the re-

ment by force and violence"
Miss Perkins issued a statement
yesterday that the Bridges case and
others similar to it had been held in
abeyance pending Supreme Court
decision in the case of Joseph
Strecker. In the latter, she said, the
issue 'is precisely whether an alien
member of the Communist party is
deportable.
AS soon as the court acts, she
added, the Labor Department will
promptly proceed in all other cases
in the manner indicated by that de-
cision."
Representative Thomas accused
the officials of conspiring against
the Government in failing to deport
Bridges, in releasing him from ar
rest without his posting a bond of at
least $500, and in appealing the
Strecker case to the Supreme Court.
Not Charged With Crime.
Bridges has been charged with no
crime, Miss Perkins said in her
statement, and the allegations that
he belongs to the Communist party
have not been subject to hearings.
She added:
If any alien at any time takes
any action to overthrow the Gov
ernment of the United States by
force and violence, or if he commits
a crime he will be promptly arrested,
tried and punished or deported, or
both, under the terms and re-
quirements of the law"
Immediately after the resolution
had been read to the House, Ma
jority Leader Rayburn put through
a motion to send it to the Judiciary
Committee, asserting that was the
orderly procedure, from which the

By the Associated Press.
The State Department rejected to-
DAY Germany's contention that any
payment she makes on Austrian
debts to the United States Govern
ment and citizens must depend on
the German-American balance of
trade.
The department also refused to
accept Germany's position that she
is not legally responsible for Aus
tria's debts.
The debts include relief obhga-
ton to the United States Govern
ment of s26,00O,0O0, which Germany
wanted to put aside on the ground
1t was a war debt. An American
note dated January 20 and made
public today, however, says this Gov
ernment "perceives no reason why
the intergovernmental relief debt
should be left out of present con-
sideration."
Second Blow to Trade Efforts.
The remainder of the debt is
made up of $20,575 900 in Austrian
government bonds and dollar bonds
OF Austrian political subdivisions and
corporations amounting to $l8,-
100000.
The American note dealt the Sec
end blow within the last few days
, at German efforts to expand her
trade by tying other enterprises to
it. Germany had sought to get the
United States and other countries
to agree to buy increased German
exports in return for allowing Jewish
refugees to leave the Reich with
portion of their wealth.
The note. delivered by Charge
d'Affaires Prentiss Gilbert. called
into question Germany's statement
that 1T does not have the intention
to discriminate against American
creditors as compared with other
creditors"
Discrimination Mentioned.
This statement" it commented.
must be read in the light of the
actual practices of the German gov
eminent which result in well-known
determinations against American
creditors"
Germany outlined these points in
E note to the United States on Jan
uary 3:
l. Austrian relief debts are left
out of consideration in debt nego-
tiations with other governments.
2. Germany is willing to make a
reasonable indemnification of Amer
lean holders of Austrian bonds and
Goes not intend to discriminate
against them.
s. Such an arrangement must take
Into account Germanys unfavorable
trade balance with the United
States.
The United States replied in the
January 20 note:
l. This Government is fully dis
posed" to discuss any proposals
which Germany may advance for
payment of Austrian Indebtedness,
but the final decision is up to Con-
gress.
2. THE Government of the United
States has not ceased to protest
against the principle " that the
responsibility OF QeDCOr govern
ment for its debts can be made by
ahe debtor to depend on the bal
ance of trade" between the two ma
tions concerned.
3. Austrian securities were being
fully serviced prior to Austria's alb
sorption into greater Germany,
which took over the sources of rev.
enue pledged to the service of the
securities.
4. The United States permits pay
ments to citizens of Germany for
all types of goods and services
without check or control" and the
total of these is many times the
amount required to meet the obli-
cations under discussion.
