Polish Soldier Is Killed By Danzig Customs Officer

UNDATED, July 20 (P)- Ten sion between the Free City of Danzig and Poland suddenly in- creased when a Polish soldier Vitold Budziewicz, was killed near Danzig, in village on the frontier, which is one of Eu- ropes most troubled spots.
 Poles said the soldier was shot and killed by a Danzig customs officer, Max Stein, who fired ac- cross the frontier without warn ing.
 Officials of Nazi controlled Danzig said the Polish soldier fired after he aimed rifle at the Danzig customs man.
 Germany's army chief of staff Colonel General Walter von Brauchitsch spoke at Tanneberg, which is ten miles from the Pol ish frontier, warning Poland that Germany does not "seek to fight but we do not fear it."
 In the far East, Tokyo police kept special protective guard around British h ambassador Craigie as Japan's anti-British campaign gained new bitterness and a Japanese was found hiding in the embassy grounds.
 While the British and French looked with mixed hopes and fears on their chances for build ing effective alliances in Eastern Europe, other incidents troubled Polish-Danzig relations.
 A Warsaw official was senteno ed to IA months imprisonment or an arms charge. Another Pole Colonel Sobccinski, is said te have been arrested by the Free City police.
 Some British circles voiced fears that Brita,n's differences with Poland over credits for Pc fish armaments would delay the reaching of the British-French- Soviet mutual assistance pact. and imperilled the psychological effectiveness of the British French front.

SOyiets Threaten To Confiscate Jap Coal and Oil

UNDATED. July 21 (P) - Far Eastern conflicts drew attention from European troubles as Brit ain and Russia became further embroiled in the expanding Jap anese empire.
 At Tokyo, the Naval Ministry said a section of the Japanese fleet was assembling in northern waters as a result of a Soviet threat to confiscate Japanese coal and oil concession in the Russian half of Sakhalin Island off the Siberian coast north of Japan.
 Monday Russia rejected Jap anese demand in ''ultimatum form" concerning rights on the island which is half Russian and half Japanese. The immediate cause of the dispute is the $780, 900 fine levied against Japanese companies working concessions in the Russian territory. The situation was reported at the To kyo Naval Ministry as ''extreme- ly grave" as Japan waited to see if the Soviet threat of confsca- ton would be carried out.
 Relations between the two pow CTS are further embittered by the continued fighting on the front fer between Manchukuou and Outer Mongolia, the Asiatic stat es supported respectively by Jap an and Russia.
 Japan declared that 39 Soviet plane were shot down in their battle in the Lakebor region where intermittent fighting has been in progress since May II.

City Of Haines Experiences An Expensive Fire
Arthur J. Baldwin Passes Away In New Jersey

EAST ORANGE, N. J., July 21 tP)-Arthur J. Baldwin, aged II, millionaire corporation attorney, died today at his home in East Orange after a lingering illness, having suffered a heart attack while at Nome, Alaska, in July, 1888, and having been confined to his home since his return.
 MT. Baldwin was actively as- sociated in the political and com mercial life of New York and numbered among his friends Franklin D. Roosevelt, Alfred E Smith, Jas. Farley and others who have made recent political and industrial history of the Unit ed States.
 In addition to being the senior partner of the law firm of Griggs Baldwin and Baldwin, he was di- rector in numerous corporations representing hotels, lumber glass, publishing, transportation contracting, etc. His Alaskan int erests were in association with the Lomen Brothers, of Nome, as owners of the largest reindeer herds in the world, lighterage, stores and mining.
 He is survived by one son, Donald R. Baldwin, who flew from New York to Nome in 1938 to join his father after his affiic- ton.
 His lifelong associate in busi- ness was his brother, Leonard D. Baldwin, who passed away sev- eral years ago.
 Edtor's Note: Mir. Baldwin will be remembered by many in Nome for his generous and kind ly spirit and his enthusiasm for Alaska and its possibilities.
 While in Nome last season he wrote the following which ex- presses his feeling about our coun try:
 Emerson wrote about the Law of Compensation. The good Lord deprived the Seward Peninsula of trees, and there is lots of frost in the earth, but when He thought it over and saw that you could not grow wheat and potat- oes and much of the foodstuff necessary to sustain life. He just compensated the Penisula by making it the richest soil in the world by sprinkling gold dust ev anywhere, and endowing the streams with fish"
 The Nugget joins with host of others in Nome in expressions of sympathy for those near and dear to him who are left to mourn.

Lack Neutrality
 Legislation Will be Hard on Business

WASHINGTON. July 2l (P) - President Roosevelt contended thal the press conference de cis'on to defer action on neutral ity leg station until the next con eresslonal session would hurt business.
 The President said that a pro miEsnt businessman told him re- gently that the failure of Con gress to act on the neutrality leg islation was killing the incest little business boom you ever saw. President Roosevelt assert ed that businessmen don't want 10 make commitments because they don't know what form the neutrality legislation may take when Congress convenes next year. They don't want to place orders or take them he said.
 The President said it would take more than mere crisis to impel him to call Congress in a special session if he comes to grips with the neutrality prob lem.
 He was told that Senate iso- lationists are predicting that he will carry the neutrality issue to the country on his prospective trip to the West Coast. Roose- wanted to know what neutrality issue existed. It is reported that he remarked that arms embargo was the issue. The President then asked whether or not it was closed till next January by ac- tion of the Senate.
 There is and can be no immed- fate issue before the country, he amplifed, because certain groups in the Senate precluded any ac- tion until January.
 With reference to his trip to the coast, the President said his plans might be changed and he might spend some time along the Atlantic Coast and go to San Francisco later to visit the Gold en Gate Exposition. He didn't in dicated whether he contemplated any cruises along the Atlantic seaboard.
 However, the President is ex- pected to leave for the coast soon after Congress adjourned to see the Exposition, then go by the inside passage to Juneau, but he said it appeared that Congress might be on the job until Aug ust fifth. He has been advised that he might arrive at the West Coast too late for trip to AL aska. because fog got bad on the inside passage.

Many Plans Abandoned
By Steel Firms in u. S.

Since 1926 the steel industry has
abandoned or dismantled total of
l73 blast furnaces, 80 plants for pro-
ducing steel ingots and IA plants for
producing finished iron and steel
products.
The total number of employees in
the industry, however, has increased
sharply during the period. A new
peak for the number employed in the
industry was established in 1887, in
dicating that the improved technol-
ogy of steel production has not de-
creased employment. while the total
number at work in 1889 is substan-
italy higher than in 1926.
These facts have been determined
by the American Iron and Steel in
stitute from study of reports fur
nished by companies in the indus
try.
Substantially all of the plants
which were abandoned or strapped
had been rendered obsolete or in
efficient by the improved technolo-
gy of steel and iron production. Few
er than dozen plants were aban-
doned as a direct result of mergers
or consultations.
The decline in productive capacity
from the abandonment Of obsolete
plants has been more than Offset by
the construction Of new and more
efficient plants and by the moderni-
zation Of existing facilities. AS q
result, the industry's present capac-
ity for producing steel is 80 per cent
greater than in 1926.
