Controlled German News. papers Making A.
 lacks on Poland

LONDON, Aug. International circles fear a new crisis regarding the Free City of Danzig because of the controlled German press in : tensification of anti-Polish propa- ganda attacks
 The newspaper attacks followed the visit of the Danzig Nazi leader Albert Forester who has been con- ferring with Chancellor Hitler at his mountain retreat.
 Articles printed in the German papers charged Poland with plan ming to blast the Free City off the map rather than permit Danzig to be reunited with Germany.
 One paper declared that Ger many's patience is nearing an end and that the end of Poland can be the only result of trouble that may start At the same time the War saw papers print reports that Po- land will receive intimate support from Russia should a war break out. The articles indicated that all differences between Poland and her Soviet neighbor have been smoothed over.

 Andrews said that he plans in the near future to appoint 500 deputy prosecutors to handle the l8,000 complaints before the Ad- ministration. Heretofore money had been lacking to enforce the new law

Conqressman Tinkham Is
 Urged 10 Hunf Lions in Sfafe
 Of Washington, Moi Africa
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-At this point we might as well confess that we lost our principal battle of the recent session and that is to have Representative Tinkham, Congress most famous big game hunter, hunt lions in America.
 He is forever going off to Africa to shoot lions. It is conceded at once that very superior lions grow in Africa, perhaps better than the Am erican breed, but home product should not be sniffed at.
 Senator Bone of Washington preached the subject. He had been reading statistics. He was sur prised that in Pennsylvania there were thousands and thousands of deer in spite of it's being densely populated eastern seaboard state with an eager quota of hunters. He decided it was largely the lack of mountain lions that permitted the state to preserve the deer for the fall hunting season.
 Out in the Olympic Peninsula, which is sizeable strip of terri tory, there are also thousands of deer But also there are hundreds of mountain lions, each of which knocks off 50 to 200 deer during the year. It does seem an awful waste, both economic and statisti- cal, for the mountain lions to bat down so many fine venison steaks.

H0NGKONG, China, Aug. 3. A sweeping peace appeal, os- tensibly approved by the Jap anese High Command, includ- ing 8 promise for eventual withdrawal of Japanese troops under certain conditions, was broadcast tonight by Wang Ching Wi, former Premier of China, now acting in concert with the Japanese leaders.
 Speaking over the radio in the Japanese held city of Can ten, Wang told his fellow Can tonese Chinese, in general, of peace assurances received from the Japanese, including Gen. And0, Commander in Chief of South China, and asserted that if the Chinese leaders declare publicly for peace and oppose Communism" an immediate ar mistice could be arranged.

LEGISLATIVE LION HUNT

Senator Bone, being of a legisla- tive mind and no lion hunter, sug- gested tn the bilogical survey ought to shove a band of profes- sional lion hunters into the Olympic forest and track the rascals down. Perhaps it was lack of coopera tion that failed to bring us success, for Senator Bone didn't offer to help much when we suggested that Rep resentative Tinkham would do very well.
 He is truly first rate big game hunter. He holds an award of some sort for having killed six leopards in one day, Which is prac- tically the tops in leopard killing He also has killed lions, many of them He even brought down an elephant. He showed us picture of it.
 But he would not get excited about hunting mountain lions. We argued that Theodore Roosevelt also a famous lion hunter, had con- sidered mountain lion hunting a fair sport and also good politics That was no argument for Tinkham that political business The Republi- can colony he represents up in Mas sachusetts elects him to the House without his even campaigning.

 TAKING GAMBLE
 ON WORLD PEACE
President Roosevelt Crifi- cizes Recent Ses-
 sion 5 Actions

HYDE PARK, N. T., Aug. 9. - President Roosevelt criticized the recently adjourned Congress for, as he put it, Gambling on world peace and economic recovery"
 The President told his press con- ference that Congress left the United States out on limb by adjourning without passing the Neutrality Act or the spending lending program.
 The President said he sincerely hoped that Congress gambled on the right side. He said that the United States would be in an embar- raising situation should war break out before the next Congress as- sembled
 The Chiei Executive declared that his spending, lending program would have speeded economic recovery but Congress apparently believed that it was not needed.
 The President interposed a do- nestle note in his news conference when he said that he and Mrs. Roo- sevelt discussed the defeat of the Neutrality Bill and the lending, spending program at the breakfast table.
 President Roosevelt said that he and Mrs. Roosevelt had agreed that the failure to pass his program would lead 20,000,000 United States citi- zens over the precipice of economic disaster. The President said that since Congress had blocked his pro- gram there would be no way for private industry to absorb workers who will be released on curtailment of the various Federal programs which can not be kept up.
