Signing himself as Uncle Dud-

self-appointed savior of the Nation

letter to his colleague and aide, James

of Owensboro, Ky. The letter read

dated last February and had been

associates in Mr.. Gilbert's counter

Under questioning, Mr.. Gilbert ex-
planned that by the Spanish

Mr.. Gilbert emphasized that unless

No, sir Mr. Gilbert answered

pieces of his correspondence, par
ticularly letter in which he ex-
tolled Hitler and Mussolini for their
rise to leadership in the face of per-
Secution.
The same will be so here" he
wrote with reference to the rise of
an American nationalist move

Despite this laudatory comment
on Europe's twin dictators, Mr.. Gill
bert insisted throughout that he was
neither a fascist nor Nazi sympa-
thizer.
Their brand (of nationalism) is
not our brand he declared.
Informed by Waiter.
In nourishing his own version of a

Gilbert explained again to the COM

DANZIG, May 22.-Danzig Nazis
eyed Berlin tdoay for reaction to
the killing of German citizen
Of Danzig by a Pole in the first
fatal border incident of current
Pollsh-German tension.
Whether the Staying would have
serious repercussions depended more
upon Berlin and Warsaw than upon
the Free City.
Marion Chodacki, Polish COM
missioner to Danzig, reported the
incident directly to the Polish EN-
bassy in Berlin and it was under
stood that Danzig Nazis were in
close touch with German officials.
Officials of the Free City said
measures had been taken to prevent
a recurrence of mob action against
Polish customs officials which pre-
ceded and followed the shooting at
Kalthof, in Free City territory, op-
posite Marienburg, East Prussia.
Both the Danzig Senate and Poles
awaited answers to demands they
had made on each other in formal
protests after the incident, the de-
tails of which differed widely.
There was agreement in the ad-
mission of two facts:
That Gustav Gruebner a Kalthof
butcher, was shot and killed early
yesterday by the Polish chauffeur of
Tadeuz Perkowski, Polish undercom-
missioner to Danzig, and that a
mob had demonstrated before
building in Kalthof where Polish
customs inspectors live
Poles said the chauffeur opened
fire because Gruebner menaced him
with a gun. Danzigers said the
chauffeur shot Gruebner, who was
unarmed, from the rear and without
any words having been passed be-
tween them.
A mob of about 1000, including
400 Germans from Marienbad. shat
tered windows and doors of the
Kalthof customs house, Poles said,
and demolished the interior of the
building, forcing Polish inspectors
to flee. Some of the mob was said
to have been in uniform and the
customs house was described as
showered with stones and bullets.
Because of this, the Polish version
continued, Perkowski went from
Danzig to Kalthof to investigate.
While he was in the village railway
station with two other high Polish
officials, it said, the crowd fired at

LONDON. May 22.-Colonial Sec
retary Malcolm Macdonald declared
IN the House of Commons today
that proper safeguards for a Jew
lsh national home must be an I'm
tegral part of any scheme during
the transition period leading up
to establishment of an independent
Palestine state"
Opening debate on a government
motion for approval of its new pol
Icy for governing Palestine, Mr.,
Macdonald declared rejection of the
policy by the Arabs of Palestine was
perhaps the best answer" to Jewish
claims that it placed Jews at the
mercy OF an Arab majority"
Denies Promises Broken.
Mr.. Macdonald declared the gov
ernment had broken no promises tc
the Jews or Arabs by its new policy
and that the phrase national home
Tor the Jewish people" used in the
Balfour declaration of 1917 did not
mean Jewish state.
The government plan. made
public Wednesday, provides for
gradual creation of a state in the
Holy Land in which Jews would be
limited to one-third of the popula
ton.
May Create Federal State.
The Palestine state aimed at in
the government plan, Macdonald
said, may be unitary state, it NAV
be a federal state, and it may be
that it should be a state in which
there is a predominately Arab
province or predominantly Jewish
province, each enjoying a consider
able amount of local autonomy, but
both bound to federal government
for dealing with matters of common
concern
Macdonald sought to repudiate
charges that Britain had broken any
promises to Jews or Arabs in its new
policy.
