Baron, Wife Ask Ban
On Deportation 10 Reich
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A 26-year- old German baron and
his petite blond wife asked the House
immigration Committee yesterday
to save them from deportation to
Germany, where, the baron said, he
was under sentence of death for
avoiding military service.
Baron Carl Won Mauchenheim,
employed by the Ford Motor Co. in
Detroit as mechanical engineer,
told the committee he fled from
military conscription in 1885 and
entered the United States with the
Baroness Margaret Won Mauchen-
helm on visitors visas. He testified
the baroness was considered IAN
accessory to the crime and she would

whose position must rest on foun-

will not Subdue the Jewish people.
The historic bond between the peo-
pie and the land of Israel cannot
be broken. The Jews will never
accept the closing to them of the
gates of Palestine nor let their ma
tional home be converted into a
ghetto. The Jewish pioneers who,
during the last three generations,
have shown their strength in the
upbuilding of a derelict country,
will from now on display the same
strength in defending Jewish immi-

on the British 1Dhtte paper an
nouncing ne,D plan for the goU-
ernment OF Palestine, made pub
lie By the National Emergency
Committee for Palestine:
One, the new policy for Palestine
laid down by the mandatory in the
white paper now issued denies to
the Jewish people the right to re-
build their national home in their
ancestral country 1t transfers the
authority over Palestine to the pres
ent Arab majority and puts the
Jewish population at the mercy of
that majority. 1t DEGREES the stop
page of Jewish immigration as soon
as the Jews form a third of the total
population. 1t sets up territorial
Ghetto for Jews in their own home
land.
Two, the Jewish people regard
this policy as a breach of faith and
a surrender to Arab terrorism. 1t
delivers Britain's friends into the
hands of those who are biting her
and must lead to a complete breach
between Jews and Arabs which will
Danish every prospect of peace in
Palestine. 1t is policy in which
the Jewish people will not acquiesce.
The new regime now announced will
be devoid of any moral basis and
contrary to international law. Such
a regime can only be established and
maintained by force.
Three, the Royal Commission in
voked by the white paper indicated
the perils of such policy, saying 1t
was convinced that an Arab move
ment would mean the Illustration OF
all their Jews) efforts and ideals and
would convert the national home
into one more cramped and danger
Gus ghetto. 1t seems only too prob
able that the Jews would fight
rather than submit to Arab rule. And
repressing Jewish rebellion against
British policy would be as unpleasant
q task as the repression OF the Arab
rebellion has been. The government
has disregarded this warning.
Four, the Jewish people have no
quarrel with the Arab people. Jewish
work in Palestine has not had an
adverse effect upon the life and
progress of the Arab people. The
Arabs are not landless or homeless
as are the Jews.
They are not in need of emigra-
ton. Jewish colonization has bene-
flied Palestine and all its inhabit-
ants. Insofar as the Balfour Decla-
ration contributed to British victory
in the Great War, it contributed also,
as was pointed out by the Royal
Commission, to the liberation of the
Arab peoples. The Jewish people
has shown its will to peace even
during the years Of disturbances. 1t
has not given way to temptation and
has not retaliated to Arab violence.
But neither have the Jews submit
ted to terror nor will they submit
to it even after the mandatory has
decided to reward the terrorists by
surendering the Jewish national
home.
Five, it is in the darkest hour of
Jewish history that the British gov
ernment proposes to deprive the
Jews of their last hope and to close
the road back to their homeland.
1t is cruel blow, doubly cruel be-
cause 1t comes from the government

Button Business
BY PROF. ]. ID. FLINT.

An important executive of a large
business concern had on his desk a
4-inch-square block which had Is
1-inch push buttons on it. These
buttons were used to summon vari-
Gus members of the organiZa ton,
such as assistants, clerks, secretary,
stenographers, etc After a particu-
larly bad year of business this ex-
eccutive let out large percentage
of the members of the organization.
Following this move he decided that
he no longer needed so many push
buttons. so he had the 1-inch but
tons removed and Pinch buttons,
which were easier to locate, in
stalled. Of course, all the buttons
were round. After the change from
1-inch buttons to 2-inch buttons,
would there be more or less space
left on the block around the but
tons?

not retroactive, and should apply

Conditions and requirements OF

State police reconstructed the
battle tl1usly:
Hill had driven to his 34-year old
former wife's home with his mother
Mrs. Leon May, "a, to discuss a suit
over ownership Of q 365-acre estate.
Hill wants to rccever the $4,000
place, and charges that he decided II
to Mrs. Hill No. 3 to avoid the
danger Of attachment growing out Of
business troubles. He contends she
"practiced fraud and trickery" TO
get him to sign over the estate to
her and then divorced him.
Mrs. Hill refused to let him IN
the house. They argued, and he fin
ally smashed q window. The crash
attracted Pierpont and Harp, who
had been saving wood In the barn
with Mrs. Hills pretty sister. Miss
Jacqueline Goodwin. The argument
continued and finally fist flew
nobody would say whose 1t was.
Old Lady Joins In
The fists were flying and S4-year
old Mrs. May Jumped out of her
sons car, cane In hand, and entered
the melee. Hill retreated with his
mother and notified police. The next
thing he knew he, Pierpont and
Harp were In Jail.
Hills matrimonial career began in
1908 when he married F.stelle Baker.
In 1909, she said, he moved out Of
their home, and In 1912, she told a
Reno Judge that her husbands sim

McNary recommended that the
following program be written into
the party's 1910 platform In simple
language so that all can under
stand":-
McNary Program
!. Equalization of benefit pay
ments under the AAA soil conserva-
ton program.
2. Repeal of the reciprocal trade
agreement act.
3. Liberalization of the public
land policy to give the IA public
land states greater share of reven-
ues from sale of forests and grazing
on the public domain.
McNary's name will be presented
to the Republican convention as a
presidential possibility, although he
has repeatedly said that he Is not
a candidate. Observers believed he
consented solely in the hope Of con-
trolling enough delegates to assure
him Of q major voice In drafting the
farm plank Of the G.. o. p. plat
form.
"In my opinion" McNary said
"the party must support a practic-
able plan covering soil conservation
with benefit payments justifying the
continuation Of that practice. All
benefits and privileges must accrue
alike to all producers irrespective OF
crops produced.
II am convinced that the recipro-
cal trade agreement act, which ex-
pires In June, 1910, should be re-
pealed. While some INDUSTRIES may
have profited by these agreements,
1t has been done at the expens of
tn products Of the soil.
or Major Importance
"These two propositions are of
major Importance If the Republican
party is to dominate the situation In
l940."
The present AAA law sets aside
$500 ,000, 900 to be distributed In soil
conservation benefit payments
among farmers producing cotton,
wheat. corn, tobacco and rice. Nc
Nary said he had obtained statis-
tics from federal agencies showing
that these crops rank fifth or low
er on the list Of income-producers.
Some part of the $50O.000,00O he
said. ought TO be distributed among
producers Of the top-ranking COM
modities--milk, hogs, cattle and
calves, and poultry and eggs.
1.-THE payments ought to be dis
tributed among all producers" he
said. 1.-The present program is dis
criminatory and unfair"
