RUMANIA ARMS
 WITH ALL SPEED
tContinued from Page D

Newspapers, taking their cue from the government, announced that Rumania was now secure against any eventuality and hoped to con- tinue friendly relations with all countries. They also displayed dis patches from Budapest denying that mobilization had been ordered in Hungary or that Hungarian radio stations were broadcasting anti Rumanian speeches.
 Wild Rumors Spread
 Nevertheless, wild rumors spread.
 Most persistent were reports of trouble on the Rumania- Hungary frontier, and that German army forces were Swarming into Slovakia. The government was reported to be considering the possibility of joint attack on Rumania by Hungary and Bulgaria, perhaps with help from Germany.
 In spite of official denials, it was reported that a detachment of Hun garian troops had crossed the bor- der yesterday, presumably by acci- dent, and hda clashed with Ruman-- ian troops, killing three Rumanian officers.
 The reinforcement of the Bulgar- ian border came as somewhat of surprise in view of newspaper com- ment that the Bulgarian premier's visit to Turkey suggested hope of general rapprochement of Balkan countries against aggression.

 Though the conferees declined to comment it was believed that they discussed a compromise pro- posal advanced by the employers calling for an immediate pay in- crease and postponement of negoti- ationS for a three-year contract un- til Oct. l, when it is believed that the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion will have acted upon the em- ployers' request for rate increases. The pay rises would increase the minimum hourly wage from 60 cents an hour to 65. The union, an American Federation of Labor affi- Hate, has demanded 75 cents an hour. It rejected the 65-cent pro- posal as insufficient for a long term contract.
 Though only 1900 drivers are on strike, nearly another 1900 non- union drivers have been thrown out of work because their employers are keeping trucks garaged during the strike.
 The strike has tied up shipments of general merchandise and some food. Perishables, bread, milk, fuel and coal have been exempted and drivers of department store trucks are working under other contracts. The s. K. Rains Company, War ren handkerchief manufactures, shut down yesterday, throwing 200 out of work, on grounds that they wer, unable to get raw materials.

been made previously when reserv- ists had families to support, or when they had steady jobs. But it was understood that this week exemptions had been few and that those granted were based not on families or employment but on ill- ness.
 Authoritative circles said that the new call was merely part of the campaign, already announced, to insure that Italy is prepared for any defense emergency.
 It was pointed outhat blue lights were being installed along thorough fares in all large cities, including Rome, in preparation for large scale black out" drills during which cities would be darkened as part of air alarm tests.
 The military attitude as regards reserviStS now being called seemed to be that these older men-those in teh classes mentioned were born in the years 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904-must be kept in training and familiarized with latest defensive weapons and tactics.
 Normal Call Season This continued preparedness was also attributed in military quarters to the preparedness campaigns of other countries which are regarded as ot especially friendly to the Berlin-R Rome axis. Also, 1t was said, this Is the normal season of the year for ealing up reservists. The Fascist Grand Council meet ings at it's usual dramatic hour of 10 p. m, adjourned early today and issued teh following "order of the day"
 Tile Fascists Grand Council, be- fore the threateneu creation of a united front of democracies allied with bolshevism' against the authoritarian states-which united front is forerunner of war and not of peace--declares that what has occurred in Central Europe finds its first origin in the Yer sailles treaty and reaffirms especially at this moment, it's com plete adherence to the policy oi the Rome- Berlin axis"
 | Celebrate Anniversary
 It said also that Fascists would be here Sunday to celebrate the anniversary and to reassert before the entire world tha the password of Fascism Is still today as it was al the vigil and always will be be- lieve, obey, fight"
 Diplomatic quarters speculated or the possible significance ofthis re- hinder to Fascists in the light oi Musolini's expected demands or France.
 The statement reaffirming sup. port of the "axis" was held by Fascists to be tacit repudiatior of reports that a rift had riser between Mussolini and Adolph Hit. Ter. A Fascist informant said thaI Mussoli1e unqualifiedly approved Hitler's march into Czechoslovakia and that Italy and Germany woult march along together no matter what might happen.

OLD AGE TAX

Hartford, Conn, March 22.-CUP) The legislative finance committee today considered proposals to abol- ish the states 8 old age assistance tax and to finance pensions from liquor or racing tax receipts.
 State Sen. Cornelius Moylan, R., Hartford, labeled the 8 tax nuisance" and said it could have been abolished if the committee had accepted his proposal to raise the cigarette tax one-half cent pack age.
 Others proposed legalizing horse and dog racing in Connecticut and diverting receipts to the pension fund. A suggestion also was made to pay the old age assistance from liquor tax receipts, to which Rep. William E. Sheehy, Jr., Shelton, re- piled:
 Don't let's have a man drink himself to death or bet away his property to raise money for old age pensions"

 Sen. Downes said the bill was not brought out of committee today be- cause of the absence of Gov. Bald win, who is suffering fromacold, and because the house majority leader, Hugh M. Alcorn, Jr., R., Suffield, was assisting the prosecution in the Waterbury corruption trial.
 Provisions of the conference bill, Sen. Downes said, would not e disclosed until they had been re- viewed by the governor and Alcorn.

Ribicof, D., Hartford, calling upon Connecticut to ratify the bill of rights-the first ten amendments to the federal Constitu- ton. The suspension was opposed by Acting Republican Leader Rep. E.

 Rep. Benjamin Tonkonow, D., Meriden, demanded to know "Whet is going to be accomplished by send ing this resolution to 'committee? There is no question we are all in favor of the bill of rights. What the committee will do is stall. That's all we've been doing the entire ses- sion is stall"
 The opposition prevailed and the resolution went to the federal rela- tions committee for hearing.

Race Theories
DisprOved

Recently released by the Long
Green Alliance Book Corpor-
alton, Race, A History of Modern
Ethnic Theories" by Louis L.
Snyder, is an outstanding work to
prove the Nazi theory of racism
absolutely false.
DR.. Snyder, who is an outstand-
ing Jewish scholar and leading
professor of history at the College
of the City of New York, points
out that though he believes the
race myth to be artificial and
irrational" nevertheless it has
steadily gained Importance.
DR.. Snyder says: For the last
century there has been growing in
the popular mind the belief that
race is hidden and all powerful
force, essential and decisive for
the human animal in his evolu-
tionary process. It is held to en-
brace an extraordinary range, be-
ing responsible for cultural clash

Tolerance Prerequisite Of
Democracy, Columbia Farley Told

NEW YORK (JTA)-Racial and
religious tolerance as one of the
prerequisites for the preservation
of democracy was stressed by
speakers addressing the Congress
on Education for Democracy, at
tended by more than $500 dele
gates and registrants at Columbia
University.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler,
president of Columbia, in the open
ing address, declared education
and democracy could not rest up
on brute force" and each must
have a moral foundation and an
intellectual Interpretation" He
defined democracy as govern
ment by the people, in the interest
of all the people," with guarantee
of civil and religious liberty of
every person"
DR.. Charles A. Beard, the histor-
ian, declared that only with the
protection of civil rights can Am
erican education defy powers that
seem omnipotent' and span the
full measure of it's responsibility"
Warnings on racial hatred were
given by Dean William F. Russell
of Teachers College, who declared
that one Of the three attacks on
democracy was directed Ito the
racial and national minorities be-
cause they are dissatisfied" and
by Representative at Large T. v.
Smith of Illinois, who said that
the doctrine that all people were
educable, an essential part of
democracy, could be trusted ito
Illustrate anti-Semitic DULLES"
The price of liberty is not merely
eternal vigilance but also perpet-
ual restraint, Lord Josiah Stamp,
British economist, told the con-
gress in an address broadcast from
London over an NBC network.
Rabbi Morris S. Lazaren of
Baltimore declared tina appeals to
racial and religious prejudice were
aggravating class divisions in this
country. "Anti-Semitism up to
these last few years a relatively
latent force in our country, is be-
ing artificially stirred by those
who resist by any means the lib
eralization of our social and eco
nomic order" Rabbi Lazaren de-

clared. Call a liberal measure
Jewish, point to the renegade
Jews prominent in the Communist
movement and the resulting non
sequiters are sufficient to damn
without further examination by
the huge numbers of our people
who do not stop to analyze or
evaluate."
There is no danger of Commun-
ism in England but a potential
menace of Nazism or Fascism,
Earl Baldwin, former British
Prime Minister declared at a
dinner. Addressing an American
audience for the first time, Lord
Baldwin asserted that "the worst
danger from Communist propa-
ganda is over" but there was a
danger of Fascism when the
national improvements" in Ger
many and Italy were contrasted
with what people find being done
or maybe left undone at home"
The Jews who have great
stake in democracy's success, can
offer Judaism "a potent factor for
democracy" and to 'counteract the
most vicious trends and assump-
lions of totalitarianism, or mob
ocracy," Prof. Mordecai M. Kaplan
of the Jewish Theological Semi
nary Of America declared. Prof
Kaplan, representing the Jewish
viewpoint, spoke on a program
with DR.. Henry Sloane Coffin,
president of the Union Theological
Seminary, who called for a "com-
mon spiritual front" of Catholics,
Jews and Protestants in the main
tenance of the spiritual founda-
ton of democracy and the liberty
(which democracy safeguards.
Prof. Anton c. Pegis of Fordham
University was the Catholic
speaker.
DR.. Kaplan declared that "the
Jews depend most upon the sue
cessful outcome Of this Congress
Education for Democracy. There
is nothing we Jews dread more
than the cry raised by totalitar-
ianism, Zone People, One State,
One F.uehrer." There is nothing
we Jews yearn for more than the
good tidings of democracy an
/ nouncing. "One Humanity. One

Wake u p, America!

And God said into Cain, where
is Abel, thy brother? And he
said, I know not, am I my broth

How does present day civiliza-
ton answer that Biblical ques-
ton?
What says Christianity? In the
dim, dark ages of almost forgotten
centuries peoples were often the
victims of ruthlessness and rapac-
ity, at the mercy of marauding
bands and savage hordes whose
only consideration was the law of
the jungle-"might makes right. :"
But never before in the history of
civilization has there been a more
brutal betrayal or a more brazen
usurpation and wanton spoilation
of tribal lands than the world wit
neSses, and pusillanimously toler-
ates today.
And when the sobered reflec-

self-government ever devised by
the ingenuity and the foresight of
the human mind, have very Sc
rious problem confronting us.
Those liberties guaranteed to us
under our Constitution and the
Bill of Rights, the God-given right
to life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, is brutality challenged
by the same forces whose ruth
lessness and rapacity were respon-
sible for the unholy, untimely
harvest of thousands of the flower
of Americas youth and manhood
in the world war. The savage
hordes of Communism, Fascism
and Nazism have gained a foot
hold in our land.
AS devastating as a swarm of
locusts to fertile field and farm,
so is the wave of subversive isms
which threaten to engulf and
overwheen our precious, dearly
bought heritage.
Stop the beast! Stamp out the
ranting, rabble-rousing aliens as
you would stamp out a nest of
vipers menacing your loved ones.
Strike at this alien-inspired, SUBJ
sidized monster by reaching at the
very roots of this vile visitation;
Intensity the Boycott on all en-
anations from the source of these
iniquities, Boycott German con-
trolled countries to save our own
country.
Within your hearts, men and
women of America, keep burning
the embers of the fires of love for
free democracy. I call upon you
today, to protect those precious
principles for whose preservation
the gallant sons of our nation,
Gentle and Jew, laid down their
lives, as in joyous memory and in
hopeful prophecy, we devotedly
consecrate ourselves anew to
Americas mighty and imperish-
able destiny, in the sacred real
ization that the glory of the pres
ent is to make the future free, to
love our land for what she is, and
what she is to be.

es between nations, for economic
rivalries, for the necessary en-
slavement of inferior races, for
revolts against authority, for mi
grafton and wars"
Adolph Hitler's enshrining of
race as basic governmental policy
thus constitutes as grandiose a
fraud as ever was perpetrated
against the German people, whose
cultural achievements and scien-
tific genius had attained Internal
ional recognition long before the
former army corporal with the
little black mustache took power
in the Reich.
DR.. Snyder further points out
that the terms "Aryan," "Nordic. !"
"Anglo-Saxon," and alpine" are
merely convenient distractions
used in arbitrary fashion >
Those interested in the Jewish
problem, especially the Jews them
selves, no matter from what point
of view their interest may be,
should not miss the opportunity
of reading DR.. Snyder's splendid
work.

PATIENCE ASKED
or MOTORISTS
L Dor Day Weekend
Motorists Should Carry
Generous Supply Of II

Motorists planning a trip over the
Labor day weekend should carry
along a generous supply Of patience,
according to advice offered by the
Aetna Casualty and Surety COM
pany.
Impatient driving caused ny con-
gested highways is largely respon-
sible for the excessive number OF
fatal accidents which have come 10
b. expected as tragic aftermath
OF Labor day Anxiety to reach o
destination, or the encountering Of
heavy homeward bound traffic to-
gether with the accompanying
strain OF driving while fatigued
from the weekend vacation. cause
many motorists to become impatient
and take chances that endanger
lives.
Some OF the occasions when pa
tience and calm" driving become
especially important are listed as
follows:
When the weather is bad, neces-
stating slower speeds.
When passing through thickly set
tied areas where pedestrians may
be using the street or highway.
When tempted to pass on curves
or hills.
When tempted to crowd the car
ahead 100 closely (be patient and
keep your Gistance).
When tempted to pass q long
string OF cars In the face Of heavy
approaching traffic.
When tempted TO hold daytime
driving speeds after darkness falls.
(Be patient and slow down after
shutdown, or better still, plan the
drive 50 that your destination can
be reached while there Is still Light.
When tempted to drink alcoholic
beverages while enroute DIETER to
be patient and wait until the dive
Is Finished.
When anxiety to reach favorite
fishing spot or some other equally
enticing destination urges you 10
"step on It,"
When the start for home has been
delayed until you feel the necessity
for hurrying, or taking undue
chances In traffic.
Two factors which tend tc destroy
the drivers patience are fatigue and
drowsiness. Light eating before and
during a trip will help TO prevent
drowsiness, while both factors may
be improved considerable by an &C.
casional stop at the side OF the road.
