Judge Bentley Protests
Cut in Juvenile Court

Judge Fay Bentley of Juvenile
Court complained today that the re-
duction in the appropriation for her
court just voted by Congress would
necessitate curtailment of services
to the group of citizens who need
them most.
The Juvenile Court budget was
cut from $1O4,570 for the year just
ended to $103,69O for the coming
year. She said that court attaches
were already overworked, and the
reduced budget would put an even
more severe strain on them.
I'VE are not complaining about
long hours or overWork," she said,
"but of the curtailment of services
to people who are hungry, whose
rent is not paid, who are sick and
in distress. Our nearness to the
suffering of those served makes it
more than a matter of dollars and
cents-but even from that stand
point, it should be remembered that
the court saved the District, whether
from taxpayers money or from pri-
vate philanthropy, $123,846 in ex-
cess of its budget"
The figure referred to represents
the amount collected by the court
for non-support of wives and chill
dren. The amount collected last year
represented an increase of 1913 per
cent and came as a result of the
expenditure of just small amount
more money in this division of the
court, Judge Bentley said
This indicates" she said, "how
thousands of dollars are saved with
the investment of a comparatively
small sum. The increase in collec-
tions over the five-year period since
I assumed Office has been accom-
plished by simplification of meth
DDS and putting them on a business
basis combined with the work of
personnel professionally trained and
experienced in the field"

Skyline Drive Link,
Nearly Completed, 10
Reach Jarman Gap
Use of 31-MiIe Portion
Hinges to Some Extent on
Unfinished Rood Beyond

Skyline drive in Shenandoah Ma
tional Park soon will be open
throughout its entire length, A. E.
Demaray, acting director of the Ma
tional Park Service, said today.
The road, built for the Park Serv-
ice by the Bureau of Public Roads
(now the Public Roads Administra-
tom is laid for So miles along the
crest of the Blue Ridge, climbing
to more than 1000 feet above sea
level.
The final section, which may be
completed within two weeks time,
is the 31-mile link from Swift Run
Gap to Jarman Gap. It's use, how
ever, is dependent on completion of
the first unit of the Blue Ridge
Parkway, an 85-mile section be-
tween Jarman Gap and Rock Fish
Gap. This is necessary because no
tramontane highway exists at Jar
man Gap, and the next such road
crossing the scenic route to the
south is route U. S. $50, or the
Waynesboro road.
work still to be done is cOnStruc-
ton through 50O-foot section
trayersed only by a dangerous S.irt
road and seal coating of the first
unit of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
AS the entire 31-mile link be-
tween Swift Run Gap and Jarman
Gap is now complete, traffic may be
permitted over the entire length of
Skyline drive before completion of
the section to Rock Fish Gap, either
permitting passage over the latter
during construction or turning back
at the southern end of the park.
Decision on this will be left to local
authorities, Mr.. Demaray said.
In this way motorists will be aule
to travel continuously the scenic
route for los miles south of Front
Royal, Va.
Eventually with completion of the
Blue Ridge Parkway they will be
able to travel the SUBMITS of the
Blue Ridge and the Great Smokes
for approximately 600 miles from
Front Royal to Newfound Gap at
the southwestern extremity of
Great Smoky Mountains National
Park in North Carolina and Ten

Checkup Is Ordered
On Relief Grants
In District
$50 Cases Already Cut
To Meet Limits Set
By New Bill

Otto J. Cass, director of public
assistance, today announced plans
for a checkup Of persons on relief
in the District to see just how their
grants-in comply with new re-
strictions imposed by the new 1910
District appropriation act.
He said some $50 out of the $500
cases receiving relief of one kind or
another had been given cuts in
keeping with limits placed in the
new bill But. he added, most of
the cases would have to be re-exam-
med to determine whether the cuts
were too much or too little.
Since direct relief payments have
been held up due to delay in passage
of the 1910 supply bill, the limits
were applied by mathematical for
mula SO that the checks could be
gotten out last Saturday and yester-
day. He said the cuts averaged
about SO month.
Whereas the bill as it originally
was passed by the House provided
for maximum limit of $48 month,
the conference agreement finally
adopted by both houses set up the
following limitations in cases of
general public assistance: For single
persons, S24 a month; for two per-
sons. $50 a month, with an allow
ance of $6 additional for each de-
pendent under 16 years of age, with
a total limit of $50 for any one
family.
The same rules apply in the case
OF home care cases, except there is
no single person arrangement. For
the needy aged and blind, the act
fixes limit of $50 a month for any
one person.
Ross Haworth, one of the execu-
tiveS of the District w. P. A.. said
today steps were being taken to see
II some means can he found to make
possible continuation of the projects

u. S. Embassy in Poland
Reports All Is Well

BUCHAREST, Sept 13 (R.-The
American Embassy in Poland re-
ported all was we'll today in a brief
telephone conversation with the
Rumanian Legation.
The Embassy was established
several days ago at Sniatyn, tiny
village near the Soviet Russian
frontier, following removal from
Warsaw.
G. B. Elbrick, third secretary of
the Embassy, said communication
with Warsaw had been cut off three
days, but officials were keeping in
touch with other unconquered por-
tions of Poland.
The Polish foreign Office was re-
ported reorganizing in a new undis-
closed location somewhere near the
Russian border Foreign embassies
and legations again were function

crude accommodations.
Polish refugees continued to flee
across the frontier into Rumania,
where they were directed to a con-
centration camp near Cernauti. Most
of the refugees were elderly men
and women, and children.
No Jewish refugees are being
granted permits to enter Rumania
at the present time, officials said.

progress in the west. The an
nouncer said two Polish divisions
that had been cut off near the Ger
man-Polish border were fighting a
running battle in an effort to break
through the German lines and re-
lieve Warsaw.
From the station at Lwow Gem-
berg, where Polish Army headquar-
tiers is located 220 miles southeast of
the national capital, came the re-
port of reinforcements on their way
from the southeast and of a major
battle in the vicinity of Modlin, 20
miles northeast of Warsaw.
Here, at the juncture of the
NareW and Vistula Rivers, the
Polish forces were said to be con-
centrating their defense around an
ancient Russian-built fort half
buried beneath the ground.
A broadcast from a German radio
station said troops coming out Of
the northwest were drawing closer
to Warsaw. The report said this
army had forced its way to a posi-
ton east of the capital, indicating
the Germans had crossed the Bug
River, which joins the Narew 20
miles north of Warsaw, at least in
one point and might, according to
military observers, be in position
to strike at Polish communication
links with Lublin, Lwow and other
cities in the southeast.

Reich Official Here
Accuses England
0fCausing War
Dr.. Thomson Declares
Germany Only Wants
To Right q Wrong

DR.. Hans Thomson, Charge DAT
faires of the German Embassy, de-
clared in a radio address last night
that "the course of events clearly
shows England's full responsibility
for the outbreak of war in Europe"
Without England's interference
and her anti German encirclement
policy "a reasonable GermanPolish
adjustment could certainly have
been achieved long ago. DR.. Thom-
sen asserted.
Instead of admonishing Poland
to come to reasonable understand
ing with Germany" he continued,
England gave Poland a free hand
against Germany and urged Poland
to mobilize her entire military
forces, thus bringing herself in COM
plete dependency upon Poland's de-
cisions and frustrating at the last
moment by her negative attitude
also Mussolini's proposal for an i'm
mediate armistice"
Declaring Germany has succeeded
IN removing almost all untenable
conditions of the Versailles treaty
without war, the German Charge
d'Affaires said Chancellor Hitler
has sought the return of Danzig
and the Corridor "as reparation of
a great injustice inflicted upon
Germany" and ito restore only the
status originally provided in the
thirteenth point of President Will
sons peace program"
DR.. Thomson said that because
Germany has become powerful
again by her own strength, she is
being accused of striving for world
domination.
I'VE do not want to take from
the 'millionaires of England and
France anything which belongs to
them" he added. 1--WE respect their
spheres of interest and ask merely
that they see the injustice done to
Germany and that they do not frus-
trate every opportunity which pre-
sents itself to Germany to create
for herself sphere of interest of
her own"

public opinion on the two sides of
the channel was completely in ac-
cord.
The people of France and the
people of Great Britain are alike
determined not only to honor to the
full their obligations to Poland. but
also to put an end once for all to
the intolerable strain of living under
the perpetual threat of Nazi aggres-
sion.
Our French allies are, like our
selves, a peace-loving people, but
they are no less convinced than we
are that there can be no peace until
the menace of Hitlerism has been
finally removed"
Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax
simultaneously told the House of
Lords that Great Britains pledges
OF restraint in bombing operations
were based on conditions of similar
restraint by Germany.
He said the British would hold
themselves completely free to take
such action as they may deem ap-
propriate" if Nazi planes are turned
loose without discrimination on Pol
ish civilians.
This statement was prompted by
German Army announcement to-
day which said the German Army
henceforth would "use all means at
Its disposal to break Polish resist
ance in open towns and villages.
Intent members leaning forward
eagerly from crowded benches
heard Mr.. Chamberlains short &C
count of his flying trip yesterday to
meet Premier Daladier and Gen.
Gamelin for the first supreme war
council somewhere in France"
Cries of Approval Heard.
Traditional approving cries of
"Hear! Hear!' echoed deeply as he
made his points in reviewing mill
tary activities.
One of Britain's chief steps since
Mr.. Chamberlain first reviewed the
war situation was organization of
the convoy system that finally was
made successful in the World War
Put into force as a British answer
to Germany's smashing submarine
attack against British shipping, de-
tails regarding its operation were
lacking beyond statement by the
ministry of information that it was
not yet operating completely.
Another answer to Germany S
threat to cut off the islands food
supply-a threat that yesterday
brought the sinking of the 9,456-t ton
British tanker Inverliffey-came
from the home front. With Lord
Beaverbrook' Evening Standard
crying dig for Victory" 10000 trac-
tors were sent out to pull plows
through the English countryside and
thus effect increased food produc-
ton.
The ministry of agriculture said
the countrys position was far better
than at the end of 1918. It was
estimated miniature farms of 100
square yards would feed family
of five 212 days.
Faith in Blockade Unshaken.
Faith in the economic value of the
British blockade of Germany was
.unshaken in high quarters.
A Times editorial commented that
m the World War, Germany started
with more territory than it now has
and succumbed to the blockade.
