.Danzig Leader, In
Backing Of Hitler,
Tears Into Poland

Free City of Danzig, Aug. 10.
-(AP)-TO a vast cheering
crowd in LANCER market place,
Nazi Leader Albert Forster,
speaking with the full authority
of his recent visit to Fuehrer,
Adolf Hitler, declared Gin seri-\
GUS moment" it was necessary
"tO protest against the threats OF
war uttered by Polish papers and
speakers"
The speculation on what mes
sage Forster would deliver had
run along three lines, but no one
besides Hitler and Forster could
say which was right.
The most conservative ana
generally accepted view was that
the district leader with Hitler's
backing, would cOnfine himself
to rejecting in most positive
terms any claims of Poland to
Danzig and the demand on the
part of the Polish press for an

Tokyo, Aug. 1O.-(AP)-The Unit
ed States and France were reported
today to have declared to Japan their
interest in economic problems arising
from the war in China, adding COM
plication to the already stalemated
British-Japanese conference.
1t was believed by observe ers that
the question Of including other pow
ers in consideration of issues between
Great Britain and Japan had become
a new barrier to resumption of the
talks.
Sir Robert Craigie, the British am
bassador, has insisted that Britain
could not withdraw support from the
central Chinese governments cur
rency, because other powers were
concerned. Authoritative japanese
sources said, however, that the ia
panese minister-at-large in China
has prepared the demand for resump-
ton OF the negotiations after his
third visit to the British ambassador

Thousands Of Jewish
Refugees In France
Register For
Army Service

PARIS (JTA)-A recruiting bu-
reau for Jewish immigrants resid-
ing in Paris opened and within a
few hours $50 refugees had regis
tered for national service. The
office was established by the Fed
GRAFTON of Associations of Jewish
War Veterans and Volunteers in
France and is under the leadership
of the federation's secretary-gen-
eral, Vanikoff.
The bureau was working in close
cooperation with the French mill
tary authorities and was making
the first selection of Army eligi-
bles. According to present rules
only immigrants between 20 and
40, having permanent permission
to sojourn in France, are eligible
for military service.
Hundreds who offered their SER
vices had to be turned down as
outside the age limit or not having
permanent permission to live in
France. Those considered eligible
signed applications which were i'm
mediately turned over to the mill
tary authorities, who were to
make the final decision on their
eligibility. Following medical ex-
aminations the volunteers were to
be admitted to the army.
In addition to the registration
at this recruiting office, hundreds
of Jews have already been regis
tered in numerous other bureaus
established by Jewish and non
Jewish organizations, as well as
by national bodies such as the
Association of Polish War Veter-
and in France. It is safe to say
that the number Of volunteering
non-French Jews-including refu-
gees and citizens of Balkan
states-runs into several thous-
ands and would be higher if the
ineligibles were included.
There has been no pressure on
refugees by the French authori-
ties for enlistment.

bill which proposes to appropriate
$50 900 of federal funds the
first year of its operation and
larger sums annually thereafter
as federal aid to state-guided
health programs, but pointed out
that the NAACP insists that GER
tain safeguards against discrimin.
alton be included in the bill.
The bill is divided into four sec.
tons which include: grants tt
states for maternal and chill
welfare, public health work am
investigations, hospitals and tn
health centers, and medical car,
for illness. and insurance agains
loss of wages during periods o
