VieVed With Alarm

In a letter addressed to the
editor Of Cosmopolitan Magazine,
Charles Stengle, Ages prexy,
points with scorn at Bob Consi-
dimes recent article on Govern
ment clerks The colonel not
only points with scorn, but he
views with alarm its effect upon
the clerks involved and the chaps
out in the States who pay the bills
We can understand the feel
ings of President Stengle and feel
that he did right, as head Of the
clerks union, in taking exception
to inaccuracies which crept into
the article by the usually accurate
Bob Considine However, we
have read the article in question
and we do not feel that the few
mistakes noted will do any ire
parable harm to Government
workers, particularly as CoSmo-
politan will undoubtedly publish
President Stengle's letter pointing
these out The whole thing
leaves us in a "congratulating"
mood . So we congratulate Bob
Considine, a former State Depart
ment employe, by the way, on his
excellent, readable article and also
congratulate President Stengle on
the prompt and forceful way in
which he has made sure that the
Cosmopolitan readers will be set
right The net result will be,
we feel, a grand's worth Of free ad'
vertising for both AFGE and Bob.

quarters that the return of Danzig to Germany was now Q "l0O per cent certianty." It was hinted that the British-Japanese dispute in the far east might hasten this de- velopment.
 VIII Demand Danzig
 Two speeches which Joseph Goeb- bles, propaganda minister, made at Danxig during the week were re- garded by Nazis as implying def mite promise tl1a' the full weight of Germany's diplomatic strength, and its military strength if neces- sary, would be put behind de- marid for Danzig.
 Some persons indicated that the belief of General Nazi circles was not without foundation, although others emphasized that they hoped for a peaceful solution. These quar- ters expressed belief that at the last moment, if a serious situation arose, the western powers would yield to Germany's demands without fight ing. But they also asseretd that If the worst came, Germany was pre- pairing to go to almost any length to get Danzig.
 Up To Poland
 Nazis complained that Poland had reflected "fair" offers for solution of differences and asserted that If there were to- be negotiations now Poland must start them.
 "We have said our last word" an informant said. Every day that the Poles delay, our terms will be- come stiffer. The Poles made their mistake in not taking note of

It developed today that stories that the Japanese had charged the wire barricades around the British and French concessions with electri- city were premature.
 The Japanese had announced that they would electrify 30 miles of the wire last night, and some of them even said afterward that the wires had been charged.
 Current Not Turned On
 Today, however, it was disclosed that the current had not yet been put on. Japanese said that it would be turned on tonight.
 Japanese said that by electrifying the wires they would foil "unruly" elements who had managed to con1- municate with the outside world by making their way through the bar ricades at isolated spots to snug gle food into the concession.
 They said that various Chinese secret societies, including the Blue Shirts" and the Communist" had evaded the searching parties at en- frances to the concession.
 But also the Japanese intimated that the identification plan was 8 sign of their determination to eff feet fundamental settlement of the dispute-at the moment with the British-over Japanese influence in foreign areas. ~@
 Despite the seriousness of the situation, there were indications that not everyone was pessimistic. The Jardine and Butterfield Shipping companies, which has suspended service to Tientsin, resumed it today, a Shanghai dispatch said.
 Admiral Inspects Marines
 Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, com-' manding the American navy in the Far East, inspected the 233 United States marines of the Tientsin gar- rison this morning and then was 8 luncheon guest of the American Chamber of Commerce.

Uchida had just returned from Tokio with fresh instructions which he did not disclose.
 He was quoted as saying that Japan maintained its demands for increased control in the administra- tion of Kulangsu and the suppress sion of alleged "anti-Japanese bases among the Chinese there.
 Uchida said, the dispatch added, that he believed foreign powers would not refuse to comply with Japan's demands but would recon slider the "new order" in East Asia.
 Britain Tries Settlement
 London, June 20. = (UP) = Great Britain sought to settle its dispute with Japan over the blockade of the British and French concessions at Tientsin today in order to clear the air for development of the much larger issue--whether Japan in- tended to try to seize control of all foreign areas in China.
 As its first action, the government expressed to the Japanese ambas- sador here and the Japanese foreign office at Tokyo its desire to negoti- ate direct settlement of the Tient- sin dispute.
 This dispute was caused osten- stibly by British refusal to hand to the Japanese four men suspected of having assassinated a pro- Japanese official of the Tientsin customs re- gime.
 The feeling seemed to be here that if Japan now refused to con- fine negotiations to that issue, but made broad demands, Japan must shoulder responsibility for any re- suit.
 The result, as foreseen here, would be that Japan,s bid for control of all foreign areas in China, and for ex- clusion of foreign interests, would be barred and that consequently other powers, notably the United States, would be interested equally with Britain in upholding their rights.
 Because of the offer to negotiate settlement of the Tientsin dispute directly, the government held up any consideration of penalties against Japan for its blockade.
 Both the board of trade and the treasury, it was learned, advised strongly against any individual &C., tion. They held that half measures would be futile and that any im- portant reprisals could succeed only If they were undertaken jointly by Britain, the United States and

 horseshoe curve, he testified he mo- ticed the headlights of car coming towards him, so he pulled over to the right. The car hit him, he said, and turned him around, smashinhg the left side of his automobile. He said the other car kept going.
 Albert Santoro Testifies
 Albert Santoro testified he came along about this time and stopped. He said he did not take the injured sergeant to the hospital as his auto mobile was full, but someone else stopped g. moment later and took Sergt. Bagley to St. Mary'S hospi- tai. Santoro said Sergt. Bagley told him to pursue the other car, but there was nothing in sight He thought of moving the Bagley car, which was at right angles to the road, the radiator facing rocky ledge, but he thought better of it.. He was at the scene of the accident about three minutes in all, he testi- fled.
 Didn't Remember Anything
 Powell testified he did not re- member anything, until two men, who he later learned were "Cranpett brothers" revived him in a gully of the side of theroad several hundred feet from the scene of the collision. The brothers, he said, took him in their car to the Steel Ball" for first aid on a cut on his forehead, and then he was taken home. He said he did not know anyone was in- jured i'll the accident, and was go- ing to notify police headquarters in the morning. The accident, accord ing to testimony, occurred at 2:30 o'clock. Police came to his house later, he said, and brought him to the station.
 Photographs of Scene
 Photographs of the scene of the accident were introduced by Super numerary Patrolman James Little, of the accident squad, who said he made complete investigation of the case. He testified the Powell car travelled almost 300 feet from the point of impact to the gully where it was found badly damaged. Patrolman Little also gave several other measurements he made at the scene. Photographs of the scene were also introduced by Atty. Mau- rice Wrenn, defense counsel.
 Atty. Wrenn moved for discharge on the grounds that no evidence was introduced to prove reckless driving, but Judge Conway ruled that cir cumStances were such as to indicate guilt. He said the speed the Powell car was going must have been con- siderable for curve because of the distance the car travelled after the collision. The judge also said the youths condition, owing to scant sleep the previous night, could not have been too alert.
 Powell said he would appeal the decision, bonds for which were set at $500.

 Never Paid One Cent

 "A reading of the charges" she said, reveals that the only reason we are being attacked is because of our success in organizing the strongest actors union ever or- ganized in the United States and because the producing companies, being afraid of our success, have hit at us in the dark, having some once lse fire the bullets that they made in an attempt toward off organization efforts"
 The opposition was led from the floor by swimmers from Billy Roses Worlds Fair Aquacade, who said they did not ''want to submit to s union that doesn't do anything for uS."
 Swimmers Complain
 Mike Lewis, spokesman for them, said half of the swimmers were suf- fering from ear infections because of the condition of the water and that the union had done no in- vestigating. When swimmer is unable to perform he is "docked. despite the fact 1t is an occupa- tional disease" he said.
