GERMANY TOCLAIM ANTARCTIC LAND
Most of Territory Already Is in Possession of NOr=
 way Government

Berlin, March 1O-(UP)-Semi- official sources reported today that Nazi Germany may claim about 350,0O0 square kilometers of Antarc- tic territory over which Norway as- serted its sovereignty last February.
 It was said in informed quarters that steps will be taken to secure for Germany the fruits of the ex- petition" headed by Captain Rits- cher, aboard the Lufthansa Motor ship Schwabenland. The vessel is expected to reach Hamburg about Easter after extensive exploration in the Antarctic.
 The Ritscher expedition photo- grapher and made magnetic, meteo- rological and oceanographic obser- vations in the Antarctic area be- tween the fifth degree west and 18th degree east longitude.
 Ritscher reported that he found mountain ranges more than 5000 feet high on "a hitherto complete ly uneXplored section of the coast south of the Atlantic"
 German sources said that as far as 1t is known, Norwegian eXplor- CTS had not even flown over this part of the coast which has now been investigated in detail by the German expedition.

SEN. ME SPEAKS
 AT MIDDLETOWN
Minding Our Own Business Is His Prescription; For-
 mer Mayor Talks

Middletown, Conn.,, March 10-- (UP)-U. S. Sen. Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota, noted isolationist, today prescribed "minding our own business" as one of six rules to keep the United States apart from any European conflict.
 The other five, he declared at Wesleyan University's American Foreign Policy Conference, were:
 Quit seeing how much meddling we can do.
 Cease profiting by the sale of munitions.
 Enforce the neutrality act re- straining the exportat;on of arms.
 Pass law fixing income tax rates.
 Leave the matter of armed participation to a referendum to the people.
 The current war scare he de- nounced as "man-made hysteria." '" War Scare Every Winter
 "In, the thirteen years I have been in the Senate there has been war scare every winter just be- fore the appropriation bill for war supplies has been sent to Congress. This year we had 8 two-billion dol- lar war scare. The purpose has been to plant in the American mind the idea we are in great jeopardy.
 "There is not sane military man who believes that Germany, Italy or Japan could become in the least dangerous on this continent.
 The next war, he said, would be won in the air and "there isn't a bomber plane in existence which could go 800 miles, drop a bomb and return to its base of supplies. Another speaker, Mrs. Louis Leonard Wright, of the National League of Women Voters and a delegate to the Lima Conference, proposed the United States more actively participate with other democracies in world affairs. Former Major Gives Views George Fielding Elliot, author and former major in the Army Intelligence Reserve, told the con- ference i've cannot be attacked from the air as long as we exclude hostile bases from this hemisphere which we can do by keeping com- mand of the seas to the east and west"
 Military and Foreign Policy" he said, must be coordinated. While we are resolved not to go to fight in Europe or Asia, we do not need great armies, great fleets of planes to regimentation of all our Ma tional life in wartime. A very great navy indeed can be maintained l without the latter. We must pro- tect democracy with instruments which do not themselves require its destruction by our own hands. American sea power" he asserted "may well become for the next century a great stabilizing force ir the world that British sea power has been for the past century; . true contribution to peace, and . safeguard to liberty which may finc here in the Americas its one re- maining impregnable citadel"

Slovak Govt. Revolt Meets Defeat From Czech Troops

workers assembled to protest against dismissal of the ministers. The origin of the shots was not known. Slovak nationalist workers in big fac- tories called a strike and joined members of the Hlinka guard in central Bratislava. They massed at government buildings and shouted: We want a free and independent Slovakia!"
 As three German customs men crossed the Danube bridge and ap- preached the crowd, the demon strators shouted: "Slava Hitler!"- equivalent to "Heil Hitler" Police charged this crowd, using rubber truncheons, and dispersed it. Soldiers were in complete control of the gen. eral situation. They formed cordons at all roads leading to the city, to prevent peasants and country work CTS from entering. Police similarly drew cordons at strategic points in the city to keep mobs from forming in dangerous numbers.
 It was reported that as an extra ordinary precmaution against dis turbances, military police distributed arms to the most trustworthy mem- bers of the Czech population of Bratislava, especially members of the former Sokol Athletic association. It was reported that the government intended to disarm and send to con- centratioA camps large numbers of the Hlinka guards, the principal separatist associationd, and to arrest leading Slovak officials.

THIEVES CHEERED
 BY SPECTATORS

Everett. Mass, March 10 - O.P0 -Passersby paused to shout encour- agement to two men trying to open the door of a locked car at Everett Square late yesterday.
 It finally was suggested that they break the small ventilation window, as "that could be replaced cheaply." l"
 The pair followed this advice and after opening the door, took out thre leather cases, walked across the street and disappeared. Their au- dience broke up.
 Ten minutes later Howard Wright of Waltham, salesman for a Provi- dence, R. l., jewelry firm, left res- taurant where he had been eating.
 The locked car was his, he told police, and the three cases contain ed $5,0O0 worth of jewelry. '

Versailles, France, March 10-(UP) Eugene Weidmann, 31, Blue beard's successor" and his gang of cut-throats went on trial today, charged with murdering Jean De Koven, beautiful American dancer and five others.
 Judge Edouard Leamle looked pale and drawn on the high bench in the gloomy assizes courtroom where Bluebeard Landru was convicted of mass murders IS years ago and sent on his way to the guillotine. Leamle spent all of yesterday reading the official reports of Weidmann's crimes. He couldn't sleep last night; the reports were that gruesome.
 Weidmann and his gang operated from Weidmann's villa in the Paris suburb, St. Cloud. They murdered deliberately as business, the state charged, and the villa was both the slaughter house and the burial ground of the victims. Miss De Koveri of Brooklyn, touring Europe with her aunt, was lured thefe by Weidmann, who said he would get her a theatrical engagement, stran- gled, and buried under porch. Then Weidmann tried to collect ransom from the, aunt.
