Help for Refugees
Urged Upon Temple
Sisterhood Members
Dean Koyser Asserts
War Hinges in Port
On Presidents Intent

A sympathetic attitude toward the
problems Of refugees from abroad In
this country was urged today on
members of the District No. 8, Fed
Grafton of Temple Sisterhoods, con-
cluding a three-day meeting at the
Washington Hotel.
Mrs. Julian Hecht of Baltimore of
the federation's Refugee Commit
tee declared 1t is the sisterhood's s
job now to alleviate the mental an
guish of the refugees and to try to
establish coigenial surroundings.
assisting the refugees should keep
the minds of the newcomers so busy
by day that they can sleep by night,
she suggested.
Keeping refugee families together
is one of the major problems con-
fronting those dealing with the
problem, she said, urging that it is
important also that small communi-
ties share with the cities the job of
establishing the refugees.
Local Work Described.
Mrs. Lester Newman, chairman of
the Refugee Committee in the
Washington Sisterhood, told how
. Temple Club, established for the
refugees here, has functioned for
some time as means of assisting
in their social adjustment.
The new officers of District No. 8
were installed this morning: Mrs.
Sidney Stern of Richmond, as re-
cording secretary, and Mrs. Jules
Gutman of Danville, Va, as first
vice president. Mrs. Abram Simon,

ser urged that the temper Of the
people of this country be flxed along

Given adroit handling, we, the

Il am inclined to believe that,
whatever the legislation, the consti-

stand" he continued. Whether we
go in or stay out will depend solely
on the Executive intent and the acts

In some diplomatic quarters, the

Goydo Declares
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ROME, April 14.-Italy took an
other step today toward enfolding
conquered Albania within the Italian
Empire amid new reiterations of the
strength of the Rome Berlin axis.
The cabinet formally approved
King Victor Emmanuels acceptance
OF the crown of Albania.
Virginio Gayda, Fascism's chief
newspaper spokesman. who con-
ferred at length yesterday with Pre-
mier Mussolini, declared Italy and
Germany intended to push forward
the responsible plan of just rights
and legitimate claims"
In foreign quarters Gayda's dec
laration in II Giornale dItalia was
believed to foreshadow retaliation
against what he called new evidence
of British-French intentions to
"encircle" Germany and Italy
through yesterdays pledges to help
Greece and Rumania defend their
independence.
Justified Albanian Expedition.
Foreign circles recalled that Gayda
previously had justified the Albanian
expedition partly as a counter move
to British French policies. He de-
clared their guarantees would serve
only to consolidate the forces of the
axis, which once again have been
VIGOROUSLY defended and which will
be maintained against all opposition
by pushing forward the responsible

plan Of Just rights and legitimate
claims"
Gayda alluded to British Prime
Minister Chamberlain's declaration
of British interests in the Adriatic
Sea.
ITALY is unable to see what these
interests are and denies their ex-
istence," Gayda declared.
He interpreted Mr.. Chamberlain's
reluctance to denounce the 1898
British-Italian pact guaranteeing
the status quo in the Mediterranean
as an indication that Britain
"slings" to it because it is useful
perhaps even more so for Britain
than for Italy"
IT 1taly's occupation of Albania
violated the Mediterranean status
quo, Gayda argued, Britain and
France caused the same effect in
Tunisia, Syria and Palestine. whose
sovereignty. he said. had been
"nullif1ed and violated"

If Ciano were named Viceroy it
was reported the Italian Ambassa-
dor to London, Count Dino Grandi,
would succeed Ciano in the foreign
ministry, portfolio Grandi formerly
held. Confirmation for these reports
was lacking, however.
Count Ciano has made two flying
trips to Albania since that little
mountain kingdom was invaded by
Italian troops week ago.
Albanian Law Approved.
Mussolini presided at the cabinet
meeting which approved the draft of
a law to make Victor Emmanuel SOW
ereign of Albania as we'll as King of
Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia.

The drafted law did not mention
specifically the title of viceroy for
the Kings representative in Albania.
1t merely said the King would "be

1t was thought in foreign circles
that the general might be given
some other equivalent administra-
tive title.
1t was announced that Count
Ciano would make IAN important

Fascists expected him to discuss
