MOST OF EUROPE
 WELL SATISFIED
Reported Remark About Our Frontier Is at Rhine
 Is Taken Seriously
BY WALLACE CARROLL

London, Feb. 2.-(UP)-Europe blazoned President Roosevelt.s views on the arms situation today as a new factor of incalculable importance in its tense political situation.
 In Great Britain, and particular ly in France, the presidents desire to aid the European democracies to rearm was hailed as a contribution to the restoration of balance of power-a contribution calculated to slow the march of the dictators and perhaps save the world from war.
 In Paris 1t was e. en suggested that the reported statements of the pres ident to the Senate military affairs committee at secret White House conference, caused Premier Benito Mussolini not to make his custom ary vigorous speech to the Fascist militia yesterday on the occasion of its anniversary.
 Discussion of Remarks
 Discussion of the presidents re- ported remarks, and of the implica- tons of his policy, coincided with a special meeting of the British cabi- net today on rearmament.
 Both Great Britain and France are arming urgently, particularly as regards airplanes. But there is con- siderable doubt in some quarters in both countries as to the prospect oi their reaching the racing pace which Germany and Italy have set It was expected that this question would be the big feature of all gov ernment armament discussions fol many weeks to come.
 Ofiicially inspired articles are ap- bearing in British newspapers as- suring the public that British air. plane production may be on a pal with Germany's soon.
 Whether this is true or not, the real thought about the importance of the United States in the world picture is contained at the end oi the following comment in the Dali, Telegraph, an influential conserva'

100000 IDLE IN
 N. Y.BY STRIKE
4,OOO Elevator Operators Are Out-Impossible to
 Climb Up to Work

New York, Feb. 2.-(UP)-Bor' ough President Stanley M. 1saacs called @ mediation conference today on the building workers strike that has left 100000 workers idle in the fur and garment district at @ daily loss of $20,000, 900 to business men
 He described the strike as "ca- iamity," and invited employers and union leaders to meet with him and a representative of the state media ton board ct the municipal build Ing this morning Both sides indi- cated they would be represented.
 Only 4,00C elevator opreators and maintenance workers were on strike, but a vast army of workers In the fur, needle and textile industries, concentrated in tower and loft buildings in an area 20 blocks long and six blocks wide-one of the most thoroughly unionized districts in the country-refused to pass picket lines, to climb as many as 90 floors to. their ofiices or to work in un- heated quarters, and the district was virtually paralyzed.
 First to Call Strike
 The Building Service Employees union called the strike, first against the Midtown and the Penn Zone Realty owners Associations, and la ter against othe rbuilding manage ments that did not have union con- tracts. The strikers demanded a re- duction of the work week to 40 hours from 48, and an increase in wages of from IS to 20 per cent They had been signing contracts with individual arrangements, how ever, providing only $l week wage increase and a 44-hour week, and Isaacs hoped that this compromise could be extended to all employers. Under a three-year contract with the two owners associations, which expired Tuesday midnight, building workers had earned $23 to $26.75 a week.
 James J. Bambrick, president of the union local, said 600 buildings were crippled by the strike. Police estimated 230 buildings had been affected. Union leaders threatened to extend the strike over all the city.
 The affected district was in con- fusion most of yesterday and was

BY FREDERICK Q. OECHsNER United Press Staff .Correspondent)

 Berlin, Feb. 2-(UP)--A storm of anger against President Roosevelt mounted in the controlled Nazi press today in a concerted campaign to give the impression that Amer jeans were up in arms against be- ing dragged into war; as a result of the chief executives proposed aid to the democratic powers.
 At the same time, semi-official in- formativen given out to the foreign correspondents in Berlin warned that "repercussions" were likely as result of the enthusiasm with which certain French circles re- ceiyed MT. Roosevelt,s aid in provid- ing war planes for France.
 No one can doubt that it will not be without repeYcussions when a desire for peace-as expressed by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler-is met by ab- solute enmity," the semi-official statement said.
 Versailles Spirit Alive
 
 Tt is evident that the spirit of Versailles is still alive in these quar- ters and proves that they are not yet willing to accept Germany's vol- untary offer of friendship as basis for mutual relations"
 The reference presumably was to the recently signed French German non-aggression accord.
 Der Angriff, the newspaper of Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph 0oebbels, emphasized the American opposition to Mir. Roosevelt's plans
 "A storm of indignation is follow ing on the heels of MT. Rooseveit's shameless war mongering and pre- sumptuous declaration that Amer ica's frontier lies on the Rhine. Der Angriff said. This shows the world that the president cannot be considered as spokesman for his people.
 Powerful opposition in the ranks of influential American politicians finds an even more powerful echo among the masses of the American people who are unwilling to lei Continued on Page 2)

The records were turned over to defense counsel in open court, with Judge inglis warning that they were still within the jurisdiction of the court, and subject to his orders.
 New law has been made in Con- uectieut," said Atty. James D. c. Murray, who commented that never before have the minutes~of grand jury sessions been turned over to defense attorneys for cross exam ination purposes.
 Raymond ". Smith, official grand jury stenographer, testified that the records, as turned over to the de- fense counsel included a complete record of all statements made before the jury by Levy-as well as all observations and questions of MT. Alcorn and the other investigators.
 It loomed possible today, that with the appearance of other de- fendants as state witnesses. the de- fense lawyers will seek similar ruling with regard to the transcript of their testimony before the grand jury.
