 mess of breath, acid risirgs, and other conditions due to constipa- ton. Recommends Vend0l highly.

Now that local people have had a chance to thoroughly try Vendol, the great Root, Herb and Alkaline medicine which is so popular all over this and nearby states, many of the best citizens are telling how this splendid remedy has helped them, with permission to publish their statement.
 MT. Felix Carpenter of Platts Mills. Conn. roller at the Zinc Rolling Mills, describes his wife's experience with Vendol as follows: Mrs. Carpenter is really overjoyed at the relief Vendol gave her. She had suffered for years from consti- patton which caused her lots of suf- fering in her stomach.
 "Her food digested poorly, lay heavy, fermented and caused gas, which gave e full, bloated feeling, shortness of breath, and even kept her from sleeping well at night.
 "She often said that 1t felt. as though there was lump in her throat, her head would ache, dizzy feelings came over her, and she had little spots before her eyes.
 "After reading how Wendell helped SO many people here get relief from these troubles. suggested that she get some. and a box of the little Vendol laxative tablets. This showed good results, SO she bought another bottle. and truly I've never seen such improvement from any other medicine.

of the Inter-governmental Com
mittee on Refugees, resumed his
conversations with Reichsbank
President DR.. Hjalmar Schacht
today to establish practical
working basis for emigration OF
Jewish and other refugees from
Germany.
Rublee and the other committee
members said they hoped to re-
turn to London in a few days to
prepare a report for the forth
coming full committee meeting in
Paris.
WORK OUT DETAILS
Taking as the basis Of. their
talks a modified form OF the
Schacht plan for an exodus OF
Jews from the Reich, the Ameri'
can committeeman discussed the
problem for an hour at the Reichs,
bank.
It was mutually agreed to work
out the exact details of the per.
centages which would be involved
in any mass emigration OF wage
earning Jews.
The exact amount of financing
which would be necessary for each
individual emigrant and other
technical problems were consid'
cred in an effort to formulate a
workable scheme for presentation
in Paris and London.
PROGRESS MADE
Both the German and American
participants in todays talks agreed
that progress was made.
Rublee and his aides and the
German officials will maintain
consultative contacts with one
another pending a formal meeting

sources were frankly pessimistic
about the European situation
which, it was said, had not been
improved bv the conferences be-
tween British Prime Minister Ne
vile Chamberlain and Italian
Premier Benito Mussolini.
There were widespread reports
that Premier Edouard Daladier
intends to convoke a secret session
of the French Senate-a wartime
emergency measure not resorted
to since 1918.
SPECTER OF WAR
In view Of the conviction here
that Chamberlain and II Duce
failed to achieve any practical
results, it also was reported Dalar
dier, at the secret Senate session,
would plainly inform Frances
elder statesmen of the dangers Of
the increasing Italo-French tension
resulting from the territorial dis
pute between the two nations.
This, it was stated, would per.
NIT frank discussion and full eX.
animation of the situation, includ-
ing Frances potentialities as a
defensive and attacking power in
the light of what is regarded here
as the looming specter Of war"
SITUATION VERY GLOOMY
Other reports, at present uncon-
firmed, said the Senate Army,
Navy and Aviation Committees
would hold secret sessions at the
end of this month.
It was believed the reports
emanated from sources close to
Daladier as a result of dispatches
from Andre Francois-P Poncet,
French ambassador to Rome, to
the effect that the situation result
ing from the Chamberlain Musso'
lini talks is very gloomy"
Last night the chamber of depu.
ties launched a foreign affairs de-
bate in the course Of which de.
m ands for abandonment Of
Frances alliances with Soviet Rus
sia and Poland were countered by
requests that these ties be
strengthened.
Behind the debate was a wave
of whispers about new war in
the spring" coupled with uneasi'
ness regarding Chamberlain'S
visit to Rome.

CHIEFS TO FACE
QUIZ ON ARMS
Woodring, Craig Called
For Secret Farley
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

GN.SD. President Roosevelt S
proposal for early launching of a
huge, mass production program of
military airplanes faces close Con-
greSsional scrutiny. it was indi-
Gated by leaders in national de-
fense matters today.
Fear that the Army and Navy
soon may find they have vast
number of obsolete planes, pro-
duced at huge cost, prompted
members to seek testimony of the
highest military strategistS.
Secretary of War Woodring and
Gen. Malin Craig, Chief Of Army
Staff, will be called before the
House Military Affairs Committee
Tuesday for a secret conference.
The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee will meet the same day to
consider drafting Mr.. Roosevelt'S S
recommendation into bill.
hAt1D Adv ANVIL
Both Army and Navy, con-
gressional leaders said, have held
down plane production because OF
rapid technical advance being
made by designers and manufac-
turers. AS a result, it is claimed,
both Army and Navy have re-
markably modern, if small, air
fleets.
"The idea of accumulating,
q pyramid of planes within a
few months is dangerous" said
Chairman May CD OF Ken
lucky of the House Military At
fairs Committee. THE President
wisely leaves the matter of ma
tional defense to Congress, to
be considered on advice OF ex-
perts."
In spite of some demands for
creation of a congressional ma
tional defense committee, heads of
separate Senate and House COM
mittees perfected plans to in
augurate study Of the Presidents
$522, 100000 defense program.
UP NEXT WEEK
A House Appropriations sub
committee next week will con-
slider immediate appropriation of
$50,000,000 for aircraft manufac-
ture, as a part of the Presidents
proposal to increase Army air
strength to more than 5000 planes
and increased funds for mum
tions reserves.
House and Senate Military AT
fairs committees will consider in
creased plane authorization, "edu-
cational orders" to equip private
industry to furnish war materials,
strengthening of sea coast de-
fenseS and training of aviators
Senate and House Naval At
fairs committees will consider the
Presidents plan to create new
air and submarine bases on both
the Atlantic and Pacific coasts,
as well as extending defenses to
former forbidden" areas in the
Pacific islands within 1900 miles
Of Japan.
