10 QUE T r DICEN
Y 70 COMENTO
Por Jose r. Sanfeliz

La interrogation que sobre la
guerra ha hecho nuestro ilustre
Presidente, pidiendo una contes-
taci6n Categorical, ha producido
una reaction saludable en- todas
las naciones grandes y pequenas
qre repudian TODD aquello cue
tenga visas de dictadura.
Nj a Hitler nj a Mussolini, nj
al lacayo de ellos, ell nuevo dicta
dor de Espana, les ha sentado
bien ell lenguaje de un hombre
de honor. Els mas, parece que les
ha hecho ell efecto del purgante
que Ell "Dr." Benito Mussolini
lie receta a los que no estan de a
cuerdo con su maldecida dicta-
dura.
Hitler, ell "bello Adolfo', ha
demorado su contestaci6n hasta
Ell % de Abril. Debe de ser para
pensar bien 10 que va a contes-
tar, y mientras tanto la prensa
italiana y alemana Sc desatan
en- denuestos e imprecaciones,
como perrillos satos que ladran
a la Luna.
Que la guerra, 81 sc declara,
ha de ser por medic de una sor-
presa, ESQ es cosa sabida por to-
dos los elementos militares del
mundo. Los militares saben que
los dictadores tienen en- la men
te provocar una guerra y no van
a ser tan ~corteses que vayan a
dar aviso a los que piensan alta
car. Daran ell golpe s~iniestro cor
la rapidez de un relampago, Y
en- la oscuridad. Los que por de-
Der de su profession estudian los
actos de sus contrarios, demues
tran en- sus Opiniones que con)-
cen las maniobras preliminares
por medic de la propaganda ras-
trera, que tendra como objective
promover el desarme y no alar-
mar a su presunta victima.
81 ellos tienen planeada esa
guerra, trataran de ponerla en-
acci6n antes de que los contra
rios Sc den cuenta de clio y pue-
dan ofrecer una fuerte resisten-
ella.
TOdos esos temores podran
ser ridiculos, pero hay que tener
en- cuenta 10 que dicen y escri-
ben los que estan bien document
tados en- esos asuntos de la poll
tica international, y los mejor
informados en- el departamento
de Estado de este pals tienen la
conviction de que los asuntos eu
ropeos van de frente hacia otra
gran crisis, posiblemente a la
provolaci6n de una guerra de
proporciones.
y estos no son ''Temores
Ridiculos".

Outgrowth of church choir, the
Klein Chorus of mixed voices offers
something new in charitable work,
according to local music lovers, for
this trained group goes each Thurs
day evening to some well-known
institution and sings for the in
mates.
In eight years, with never a men,
ton OF its name in the papers, the
Klein Chorus has drummed up such
reputation that it has a waiting
list. A group Of 40 persons, the
chorus was started back in 1882 by
John G. Klein, retired official of
the Navy Yard, who for 20 years
had been active in choir work at
the Gunton Temple Presbyterian
Church, Sixteenth and Newton
streets.
With Mrs. John G. Klein as ac-
ompanist-she played the organ for
years at the Gunton Temple Church
the choiristers gather each Thurs
day night at the Klein home. l7l9
Irving street NV, where the Kleins
have resident studio, and from
there they go to their assignment:
to such places as the Methodist
Home for the Aged. Mount Alto Hos
pital, Walter Reed.
Mr.. Klein is the director. Notable
soloists are Mrs Fred Rice. the
former Agnes Downey, soprano;
Harvey Townsend, radio star, tenor:
Ted Campbell, basso profundo, and
Evening star., 1939-11-19

Lynn Elmore, baritone. With Mrs.
Rice and Ted Campbell, Helen Mil
Ter and Fred Cross make up
quartette that has become exceed
ingly popular with the various au-
diences.
Though it is hard work, preparing
for all these concerts, the Kleins
and their singers enjoy it immensely
even though they get only thanks
for it. This was the reaction given
by Mrs. Klein yesterday as she told
of her husbands unique idea in
entertainment.
I'VE believe there is great deal
OF good to be done in this way"
Mrs. Klein said. People love mu-
sic and those who are in hospital
do not have the opportunity always
of hearing the best. So we try to
accommodate them"
With repertoire that includes
classic as we'll as popular songs, the
Klein Choir can slip from light op-
era to grand opera at will, as many
of its members are familiar with
most of the great arias. Also they
can do justice to a popular song
of the day
What will probably be the most
elaborate musical program to date
is scheduled for the Klein Choir on
the evening of December /, when
they go to the Methodist Home for
the Aged to participate in a CITY,
wide celebration.

Rooseve|t's Auto
Mired in Mud in
Swamp on Estate
Boes Down to Running
Board During Trip
Of Exploration
BY the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK. N. Y. Nov 18.-
President Roosevelt disclosed some
what sheepishly today that he had
begged his car down to the running
boards when he drove into a swamp
while exploring" remote portion
of his estate.
1t took three of the workmen on
the estate and a detail of Secret
Service men to pull the Presidents
light touring car from the muck.
Mr.. Roosevelt got stuck yesterday
while trying to get into a 40-acre
corner purchased recently He had
never seen it because there was no
road through it.
Undaunted by his experience, the
President went back today to see
what could be done about getting
around the swamp and putting
road through the tract, for use as a
f1rebreak as well as a pathway.
He told reporters of the incident
as he sat in a car beside the par
TALLY completed post offce building
at Wappingers Falls. about 20 miles

has taken a deep personal interest
in the construction of public build

to see how the work was getting on.
Mr.. Roosevelt was particularly in
terest ID in the murals that will 60
into the Office. They will be done by
Henry Billings of nearby Rhine
beck. One, Mr. Roosevelt said, would
depict the falls in 1880 as they were
described in a diary by the Marquis
de Chastelleux, who came through
the vicinity en- route to join the
French Gen. Rochambeau at the
siege of Yorktown.
The other will show the same
deep gorge and falls about 1850, when
the town had become an important
manufacturing center and water
power was being used for bleach
cries and cotton mills.

Friends Of Murphy
Believe He Prefers
Cabinet 10 Court Post
Has Said Before
He Is Quite Happy
As Attorney General

While speculation on a successor
to the late Justice Pierce Butler of
the Supreme Court has revolved
principally around Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy, friends of the cabinet
officer doubt seriously that he will
60 to the bench.
Should President Roosevelt ex-
press a positive wish to make the
appointment, these friends believe
Mr. Murphy would accept. If, how
ever. the President put up to the
Attorney General the choice of ac-
cepting the judicial post or remain
ing where he is, they feel certain
that he would have no hesitancy
whatever in deciding to continue In
the cabinet.
At recent press conference, when
Justice Buffers illness made it ap-
pear unlikely that he ever would
return to active duty, Mr.. Murphy
laughingly parried series of ques-
tions about his own availability for
a justiceship by saying, There is no
vacancy"
Content With His Job.
Asked finally if ne was happy"
as Attorney General, he emphasized
that he was never happier and
this, associates feel, accurately re-
fleets his attitude under any circum-
stances, pointing out that his back
ground encourages such an opinion.
Looking back on his career in
Michigan, associates say he always
has had what amounts to a passion
for active public service and for that
reason naturally would enjoy his
present role as head of the Govern
ment's law-enforcing agency more
than the relatively retiring life the
judiciary enforces.
Further, the Attorney Generals
views on New Deal policies, his be-
lief in the necessity for their con-
tinuance, have been stated so often
that his intimates have no doubt
he would be reluctant, with a cam
paign coming on, to withdraw to a
quarter where he could take no part
In the fight.
For Anybody Roosevelt Picks.
The Attorney General is a third
termer If President Roosevelt de-
cides to break with tradition and
seek denomination. Otherwise, he
could be counted on to support the
man who gets the Roosevelt bless
ing. incidentally, he has no illu-
sions about being cast in that char
acter himself. He already has made
that clear and has expressed the
conviction 1t would be "unwise" for
the party to name him either at
the top or bottom of the ticket.
While Mr.. Murphy's name has
cropped up in connection with pre-
vious vacancies on the Supreme
Court, he has been considered as a
particularly likely appointee now be-
cause he is Catholic and the death
of Justice Butler removed the sole
member Of that faith from the
bench.
President Roosevelt does not, in
tend to make the appointment be-
fore the first of the year.

u. 5. 1ightens Rules
On Passports for
Travel in Europe
Detention Of American
Ships Is Expected
To Geese Soon
BY GARRETT d. HORNER.

The State Department yesterday
frightened restrictions on passports
for travel in Europe, and at the
same time pointed out that opera
ton of the new Neutrality Act soon
should allay another potential source
of trouble-detention of American
ships by belligerent forces.
Most of the 48 cases of deten-
ton reported to the department so
far have occurred in European wa
ters now forbidden to American
shipping under President Roosevelt's
proclamation of combat area.
After the vessels which cleared for
the trouble zone before the procla-
nation went into effect November 4
have completed their voyages, there
should be sharp drop in the in
cidents of belligerent interference
with American shipping, it was said
The detentions are not expected
to cease altogether, however, since
American ships still are permitted
to enter the Mediterranean and are
subject to detention for examina-
ton of their papers and cargo by
the British at Gibraltar. Four such
cases were reported by the depart
ment yesterday, TOO bags of United
States mail for Germany being re-
moved from one vessel November 6.
The new passport regulations pro-
vide only limited exemptions from
the ban contained in the Presidents
proclamation forbidding travel by
American citizens as we'll as ships
in the combat zone extending north
from Spain, around the British Isles
to the southern coast of Norway.
Passports will be Endorsed to per-
nit travel by private citizens in this
area only in cases of imperative
necessity" and when other routes of
travel to the destination are not
reasonably available. Each such in
dorsement will be valid for only one
specific journey.
Under other regulations issued
soon after the war began. special in
dorsements on passports are re-
quired for travel anywhere in Eu-
rope. These also are subject to the
imperative necessity rule, but have
a minimum validity of six months.
The shipping and travel restric-
tions are designed to prevent the
possibility of incidents arising that
might involve the United States in
the European war or lead to major
controversy.
Although this Government recog-
nizes the right of belligerents to halt
neutral ships to determine if they
might be carrying contraband to an
enemy, ship operators have COM
planned of costly delay in the de-
tention Of their vessels in belligerent
ports for examination of papers and
cargo.
In several cases, the cargo, even
when billed for neutral ports, was
seized. Officials here lacked infor-
nation on how much confiscated
cargo has been compensated for by
the belligerents. No formal claims
for loss of cargo have been filed so
far.
The State Department report yes
terday showed increasingly prompt
releases of most of the ships de-
tanned recently. The average period
of detention was eight days. All
now have been released, except one
that was detained by the British
Thursday. OF the 48 detentions re-
ported since the war began, the Brit
ish were listed as responsible for
80, the French for 10, the Germans
