Editors Note. There is but
one absorbing topic of news
throughout the world. Will Eur
ope be thrown into another war?
Events are moving SO swiftly that
news changes momentarily as it is
flashed to the waiting worldly
Events at this time Indicate
that Hitler, self-appointed dicta-
tor of the German people, is hest
tating before plunging Europe in
to another war of destruction. His
defiance is missing, but at any mo-
ment he may become the Hitler
of old and declare his intention
to take the Free City of Danzig
and the Polish Corridor by force.

England and France, pledged to
aid Poland if any act of aggres-

occasion during the past few days
that they will begin fighting the

Polish frontier. The last note to
Hitler as delivered by Sir Neville
Henderson, British Ambassador to
Germany, stated England and
Frances position to stand by Po-
land in case Of war. Instead of
his usual fiery reply coming i'm

preparing an answer. Doubtless
he is leaving the way open for ne
gotiations upon this all important
question of new territory for Ger

Commission Studies
Finances Of Gas
Firms Subsidiaries.
Minority Stakeholder
Protests Purchase
By Preferred Stock
BY DON S. WARREN.

The tangled skein of the financial
history of the Washington Gas
Light Co. in relation to It's own
subsidiaries and to those of its par
ent trust was being re-examined to-
day by the Public Utilities Com
mission while hearings on merger
of the trusts holdings in this area
were in recess until tomorrow morn
ing.
Details of the experiences of re-
cent years, throwing light on the
prospective effects of the proposed
purchase by the Washington COM
pany of the securities, including
the debts, of the Hyattsville and the
Alexandria companies, have been
placed in the record by B. M. Bach
man, the commissions chief &C
countant.
A new note injected into the pro-
ceedings yesterday by minority
stockholder of the Washington COM
pany. Julian I. Pierce of 1887 r
street NV, who protested against
the plan for the Washington COM
pany to pay $l,250,0OO in preferred
stock to its parent for purchase of
the two suburban concerns. He pro-
tested the company had no moral
or legal right" to enter into the
transaction, since it had not been
submitted to the stockholders for
approval.
A furry of interest on all sides
was created also when Mr.. Pierce,
writer attached to the American
Federation of Labor, declared that
directors of the Washington COM
pany could call the proposed issue
of 1925 shares of preferred stock
the purchase price for the sub
urban concerns-and pay off the
trust at $l05 per share. This sum,
he said, the Washington company
would have to take from its own
resources, ito the detriment of the
common stockholders"
Such a development, it was cal
culated, would give to the owner
ship trust some $36,7O0 more than
the stated price for the purchase
Of the Alexandria and Hyattsville
concerns.
Special interest was attached to
this statement in some quarters since
members and counsel of the commits
sion had asked repeatedly during the
hearings whether the ownership
trust, the Washington g. Suburban
Co.'S, with headquarters in Boston,
would accept common stock, instead
of preferred stock. in payment for
the two suburban concerns. No dl-
rect answer was given.

Turner Promises RYAN
Will Break Reign
OF Singh Here

Joe Turner, bespectacled tycoon Of
the amalgamated mat industry in
this area, today appointed Red Ryan
No challenger of Nanjo Singh and
ordered the broad-chested Llthu-
anian to report for work Thursday
night at the arena. Mr.. Turner con-
fidently expects his nominee to
throw the dusky Hindu.
In making known his decision to
throw Red to the roaring Bengalese.
Turner pointed out that Ryan has
been around long time and knows
every inch of the arena ring. And
If there are any small patches he
isn't familiar with. he'll find them
Thursday night. Since Singh doesn't
know the ring as we'll as Ryan, this
is expected to be a big factor in the
latter's favor.
Ryan qualified for the match last
week by dashing into the ring in
civilian clothes to halt rumpus be-
tween Singh and Referee Casey
Berger which flared up after the
Hindu had disposed of Jim Clinstock.
The shirt, collar and tie disguise
completed baf1ed Singh, who mis-
took Red for detective and wanted
to go quietly, but Nanjo has been
informed of this error and intends
to make amends for same.
With this task off his ample chest,
Turner went fishing over the week
end, but Indignantly denied that he
is looking for more challengers for
the dun-colored Singh. 1t is to be
merely a cruise, such as Mr.. Roose-
welt takes. during which the general
situation will be discussed.
