qovaks Expecting
biq Role in Creation
OF Ukrainian State
Protectorute Closest Point
Of German Influence
On Soviet Area

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (Corre-
spondence of the Associated Press
Highly placed Slovaks declare
their little country, remnant OF
Czecho- -Slovakia now under Ger
man military protection, is slated to
play big role in Nazi plans for a
Ukrainian state under German
domination.
Maps of the future" Ukraine cir
culated here show a territory of
$4,000 square miles, with 48,000,-
600 inhabitants.
The Slovaks say there already
are signs that Nazi ambitions re-
garding the Ukraine are being re-
vived after months on the shelf.
Slovakia is the point of direct Ger
man influence nearest the Ukraine
proper-Soviet Russian territory
since Hungary last March absorbed
Carpatho- Ukraine, easternmost Sec
ton of Czecho-Slovakia.
Frequent Combats Alleged.
The Slovak press displays lively
interest in things Ukrainian.
Allegations of frequent combats
between Hungarian troops and
Ukrainian rebels" have been given
prominent display. Reports of "ill
treatment" of peasants in the Polish
Ukraine and misery" in the Rus
sian Ukraine are featured.
Tho in C1ouoUio nf
Agustin Volosin, ex-premier of Car
patho Ukraine, has been indicated
though his exact whereabouts has
been something of a mystery since
he fed his capital, Chust, in a peas
ant cart before Hungarian troops.
Volosin's n-language
newspaper, read by many of Slo-
vakias $4,000 Ukrainians, calls his
followers to free" Carpatho- Ukraine
from Hungarian rule.
Informed Slovaks say that some
where under German eyes are 5000
members of the Ukrainian Stitch
Guard, which followed Volosin into
exile. The guard, recruited from
among Polish, Rumanian and Rus
sian Ukrainians, was designed to be
the nucleus of an army to wrest
the huge Ukraine territories held by
those nations, these informants say
Hungary Hit Ukrainians.
Ukrainians acknowledged that the
Hungarian advance last March was
a severe blow to their national move
ment since Carpatho- Ukraine was
to have served as the nucleus of a
nation much as Prussia served in
the unification of Germany and
Piedmont in Italy.
Locally circulated maps picture
Soviet Russia as the largest con-
tributor to the future" Ukraine
her share being put at SO OO0, 900 cit
liens and $4,000 square miles of rich
agricultural land with ports on the
Black Sea.
Other contributions envisaged are
b,400 square miles and $4,000
Ukrainians Of Carpatho- Ukraine
now part of Hungary; $500 square
miles and 100000 inhabitants from
Rumania and SO, ,280 square miles and
5000, 900 inhabitants from Poland.

Capt. Whitehurst Is Suggested
For D. C.. Executive Post
Officials Emphasize
Plans Are Only in
Discussion Stage


Capt. H. c. Whitehurst, director
of highways for the District, was
suggested in District Building dis
cussion of possible District govern
ment reorganization as the most
likely executive officer for the
Commissioners If one Is appointed
under reorganization plans now
being discussed.
District officials concerned with
the municipal government revamp-
ing plans emphasized there Was
nothing certain about the plan, but
at least one high official proposed
that Capt. Whitehurst appeared to
be an "outstanding possibility" as
the executive assistant, or admin
istrative agent, of the Commission
ers, in this suggested form of reor-
ganization.
Capt. Whitehurst, a former men,
ber of the Army Engineer Corps
who resigned some years ago to
take a permanent position with the
District Government as highway di-
rector, said it was "all news to me-"
Plans for reorganization of the
District now are all in the discus
sion stage. George E. Allen some
weeks ago accepted a re-appoint-
ment as District Commissioner to
take charge of these studies. While
he first advocated a plan under
which a high Salaried "city admin.
istrator" would be appointed to as
sumo all of the Commissioners ad-
ministrative functions, it is under
stood this was in no sense a final
conclusion.
Following an initial conference be-
tween the Commissioners and Chair
man King of the Senate District
Committee, it was indicated all
parties had decided detailed study
was needed for all such proposals.

However, the State Department

oil companies whose properties, val

Hitler earlier this week and then
returned to the Free City where,
on Thursday, he told a mass meet
ing that "the Danzig population be-
lieves implicitly that the hour of
liberation Is coming and then the
Free City will return to the Reich"
Forster, addressing celebration
In his home town of Fuerth, told a
crowd Of more than 10000 tonight
that the fate of Danzig in no way
concerned England and France.
Il should like to say to English
men and Frenchmen that it is none
OF their business what Danzigers de-
eide to do about their own future"
he said.
War Victors Blamed.
There would be no "Danzig prob
lem" today If the war victors 20
years ago had accorded the Free
City the right of elf-determinati ton,
he added.
Twenty years ago no one was
interested in Danzig," the Nazi
leader asserted. To-day the city is
full of English and French journal
lists who write about everything
except one important matter
namely what the people of Danzig
themselves want"
The celebration which Forster
addressed was described as 'eFuerth's
Danzig night" In Danzig, Nazi Of
f1cials said that in addition to going
to the event of his birthplace,
Forster was in Germany to be near
Hitler In the event he was needed
for conference.
England Encouragement Hit.
THE Danzig question would be a
lot nearer solution now if Eng
Land last March had not encour-
eyed Poland to resist Danzig and
Germany, Forster asserted.
"Englishmen and Frenchmen
should understand that bonds of
blood are stronger than those of
treaties which once dictated to
Germany"
Forster referred bitterly to Poles,
who he said "for the most part can
not even read or write"
"They should be forbidden to
partake in politics." he added.
The speaker said the Fuerth DEM
pnstration gave him new courage
and that he would return to Danzig
to say that the Free City is des-
tined to return to the Reich soon, +"
Ciano Half Hour Late.
Ciano, dressed in white, arrived at
the Berghof from his hotel in Salz-
burg half hour later than orig
inally had been planned. The delay
was believed due to a last-minute
telephone talk with II Duce.
Hitler gave the Italian minister
and members of his party a hearty
welcome as they reached his resi-
dence. It was their first meeting
since May %, when the Italian
German military alliance was signed.
Guests at a luncheon given by the
Fuehrer included Bernardo Attolico,
italian Ambassador to Berlin; men,
bers of Ciano's encourage, DR.. Otto
Dietrich, the German press chief
and DR.. Friedrich Gaus, foreign Of
fee legal adviser.
The presence of DR.. Gaus, who
generally is on hand when any agree
ments or documents are to be
framed, stirred interest among for
eign observers, but Germans dis
counted its Importance. They said
that since Won Ribbentrop had been
staying at Fuschl Castle, DR.. Gaus
also had been near at hand.

bells may ring in night clubs but
they play sour tune. For every
dozen cafe marriages, there are II
crack-ups in Reno.
Do the boys and girls who are
the major patronage Of these
fashionable jazz spots pay any
attention to these matrimonial
crashes, or do they like to take a
gamblers chance and hope for the
best?
After scanning the recent list
of acknowledged and suspected
night club romances, one would be
inclined to the latter theory.
Teddy" Lynch the cafe society
song bird, and Paul Getty, the mil
honaire oil operator, who first met
at the Stork Club, cabled friends
last Friday from italy that they
were married two and half months
ago In Rome.
SOME ARE
SUCCESSFUL
Earlier in the week, Eileen Her
rick and George Lowther, two of
cafe society's most faithful stand
bys, declared, In spite of the objec-
tons Of Miss Herrick's parents, their
intention to marry. About this same
time, Frederick Kugel and Marianne
Ward. who have been holding hands
at Armando's for several weeks,
were married unexpectedly at the
home Of Marianne's sister, Isabelle,
who met her husband, Robert Coo
gan, at an Armando party.
The Coogans' marriage is one Of
the few night club romances that
has continued in a happy mood. The
Bob Riordans who eloped from the
Stork Club on New Years Eve, five
years ago, might also be included
In this category. Sherman Billings
ley, the Stork Clubs proprietor,
drove the couple to Elkton, Md.
They returned to New York New
