oxygen breathing device from a
fruit jar, four lengths of rubber
tubing and a drum of ordinary

The infants are Charles and
Larrie Faulkner, born April 8.
A few weeks ago they contracted
whooping cough. Though quite i'll,
their condition did not grow ex-
tremely serious until the other day
Then their respiration nearly failed
completely.
The 29-year-old attending physi-
clan, DR.. George K. Fisher, sent out
hurry call for oxygen to a nearby
welding shop.
Meanwhile, he obtained an ordi-
nary fruit jar from the mother and
four lengths of rubber tubing from

telephoned his Office to send out a

Croat Leader Warns
Of Secession Unless
Demands Are Met
Sees Nozi 'Protectorute'
Necessary if Belgrade
Refuses Home Rule
By the Associated Press.


KUPINEC, Yugoslavia, Aug. t.
Charging that interference by "the
Belgrade clique threatened home
rule aspirations of his people, DR..
Vladko Machek, the Croatian leader.
declared today that Croatia would
secede from Yugoslavia unless his
autonomy demands are met.
To the question, Wont that mean
revolution?" the gray-haired peas
ant leader answered, 1T will mean
more-it will probably mean
world war"
Asked how he believed an indie
pendent Croatia with 100000 in
habitants could live apart from the
Serbs, DR.. Machek acknowledged
there probably would be pro-
tectorate over the Croats.
AS for Germany, bordering Yugo-
slavia on the northwest since the
annexation of Austria, DR.. Machek
said:
"All right-Germany then-let her
come and make order. Some one
| must make order in Yugoslavia. If
Belgrade cannot make order In
Yugoslavia, Germany can"
The stopped, 60-year-old auton-
omy leader, rolling cigarettes from
his silver tobacco box, declared,
There is an analogy between our
situation and that of Czecho-Slo-
vakia."
He remarked that the same ele-
mentS are present in both States.
I hope there may yet be time to
save us but I am afraid it may be
too late"
Dr. Machek, who has been con-
ferring almost constantly with Pre-
mier Dragisha Cvetkovich, said, IF
| it only depended on us, Croatia
would have had her freedom long
ago"
For the new opposition to an
agreement satisfying Croatian de-
mands for home rule, DR.. Machek
blamed a Belgrade clique" which
he identified as group of pluto
Gratis and generals"

ing so rapidly that even Uncle Sam
can't keep track of them.

Fifty-six new citizens were well
coined today by Justice Oscar R
Luhring, with II Britons leading the
list. Included was one from Lith-
uania, who had resided in this

he was citizen, had served on a
petit jury and was so sure of his
American citizenship that he was
granted special permit as a con-
tractor during the World War to use
dynamite-a privilege extended only
to citizens.
The jurist denied American citi-
zenship to a 75-year -old British
subject who contended he had long
believed he was a citizen, but a
lengthy list of arrests for drunken
ness came up to weight against
him.
A 24-year-old British subject was
given citizenship today although
denied it once before by Chief JUS
tice Alfred A. Wheat in District
Court on the ground that he had
withheld from the Labor Depart
ment the fact that he had peen
