MACYARS SIGN
CZECH TRUCE

PRAGUE, Jan. 10 G.N.SO.
Peaceful settlement of the recent
Czecho-H Hungarian border clash at
Munkacs appeared assured today
after military and diplomatic
negotiators agreed to create a
neutral zone around the battle
torn sector by tomorrow morning.
An official announcement said
each side must free all prisoners
taken in the Munkacs area.
The agreement does not imply
modification of the demarcation
lines established under the Italo-
German Vienna pact of November
q, which FLOWED the Munich
four-poWer peace pact.
MunkacS was awarded to Hun
gary by the pact. although for
merly it was part of CzechoSlo-
vakia's Ruthenian area.
Meanwhile, pending full adjudi-
cation of the dispute, CzechoSlo-
vakia instructed it's minister in
Budapest to protest an alleged
violation of the new frontier by
Magyar troops on Monday. A
Czech gendarme was seriously
wounded in the clash.

CHILD REFUGEE
PLEA GIVEN F. D.

A plea that America offer haven

President Roosevelt yesterday by
a committee of four of the Cap

leaders.
The four clergymen who left

OLeary, president of Georgetown

A. Ryan of the National Cath.
olic Welfare Conference, the Rev.
Oscar F. Blackwelder, pastor of
the Lutheran Church of the Ref.
ormatlon, and Canon Phelps
Stokes Of the Washington
Cathedral.
The petition was signed by such
distinguished clergymen as His
Eminence George Cardinal Mum
delein, archbishop of Chicago;
Bishop James E. Freeman, Bishop
Edward H. Hughes, the Rev. DR..
Joseph R. Sizoo, and others. It
was pointed out that thousands
of children in Germany have been
torn from their families and are
now in concentration camps or

turer is driven to despair by the
sight of his German subsidiary

and he can't get at a single cent
of it.
He can't get at his profits be-
cause Hitler has placed an en-
barge on foreign exchange. At the
same time, Hitler's regime has
managed to increase sales almost
universally, thereby boosting the
paper profits. Since the owners
only recourse it to toss back these
profits into plant improvements

paradoxical position.

If Hitler fails. they may get an
other revolution-and nothing.
Disposed to "be polite and getI

eight great American corporations
would rather not discuss their

their size and present status.
OUTLOOK ISN'T ROSY
All agreed, however, that the
prospects for Hitler were much
roster than for the American stock
holders. Right now, Hitler is get
ting all the profits.
In 1924, after the Dawes plan
went into effect, Americans were
persuaded to lend Germany about
a billion and a half dollars in re-
turn for state, municipal and cor
porate bonds. Beginning at the
same time, American businessmen
and manufacturers were lured
into spending about 175,000, 900
for their own plants and equip.
ment in Germany.
Although portion of the bond
loans had been paid back before
Hitler came into power in 1898.
the businessmen's investment had
risen proportionately. Now the
total American outlay frozen in
the Nazi State is roughly equiv
alent to the original value of the
loans-a billion and half dollars.
WHAT AMERICANS OWN
There are ISL American-owned
firms in Germany with total assets
of $227817,000.
According to the 1888 bulletin
of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, they consist
of 81 manufacturing plants valued
at $151,480,000; 80 distributing
firms with assets of $20,393, 900;
II oil companies valued at $49,-
$4,000; and % miscellaneous
enterprises worth a total of
$5.951,O00.
Included is the giant Adam
Opel automobile plant at RuSsels-
helm. Germany, which is carried
on the General Motors Corpora
tion's balance sheet at $35, ,030 ,627.
Large plants also are owned by
the General Electric Co., Interna-

Kennedy on Inside
Bullitt, a former reporter, has
acted as Mr.. Roosevelt'S eyes and
ears in continental Europe during
the various crises of the past two
years. Kennedy has been in close
even intimate-touch with the
British and their foreign policy.
He has had the benefit of a series
of plain-spoken interviews with
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain.
The legislators who listened in
tently today to the two ambassa-
dors comprise the group which will
be charged with steering the new
United States defense program
through Congress. Senator Nor
ris Sheppard CD Texas, chairman
of the Senate Military Affairs
Committee, presided at the hear

AS they entered with bulky brief

both Kennedy and Bullitt waved

BOTH SIDES OF
SPANISH ISSUE
Civil Wars
Effect Traced

ITO lift the Spanish embargo
is likely to mean war for thes
United States"
The lifting of the embargo
would be an act at once simple,
legal and peaceful"
Those two widely divergent
opinions on the Spanish situation,
which is soon to come before Con-
gress for action. were before the
citizens of Washington today.
WAR PERIL SEEN
The belief that lifting of the
arms embargo might lead to war
was expressed at a meeting held
in Constitution Hall last night,
attended by some 1000 persons
who occupied every seat, while
several thousand more were un-
able to get in.
The opinion that lifting the
embargo would be the most i'm
portant step the United States
can make in the interest of pre-
serving democracy and interna-
tlonal good faith was expressed
at a national conference on the
embargo held at Almas Temple.
Charges and counter.chargeS
flew thick and fast at both meet
ingS.
MSGR. SHEEN SPEAKS
Addressing the crowd at Con-
stitutlon Hall, Msgr. Fulton j.
Sheen, of Catholic University,
charged that movement to lift
the arms embargo is part of an
international propaganda cam
palgn by the Communist party.
Communist influences in Spain
also were denounced at the meet
ing by Irwin Laughlin, former
United States Ambassador to the
Spanish republic.
Willing knaves and fools"

government he told the meeting,
and no matter what is the out

Red Tinge Charged

He added charge that Frank
furter was a member of the Ameri
can Civil Liberties Union, which
advocates the overthrow of the
American Government by VIC
lence."
The witness said that through
his membership of the American
Civil Liberties Union Frankfurter
became associated with William
Foster, many times a candidate
for President on the Communist
party ticket.
He tFrankfurter) was associ-
ated with that mana notori-
Gus Red-as a member of the
union" Sullivan testified.
When Chairman Nicely stopped
Sullivan's testimony with notice
his time was up. McCarran asked
unanimous consent of the COM
mittee for the witness to proceed.
This was granted.
APPLAUDED AND KISSED
Several persons in the audience
applau0ed and there were Kisses
when Sullivan went on to say:
How much dependence can
be placed in an oath to support
our Constitution when taken by
a person whose mentality or
morality is so twisted that he
respects as freedom, advocacy
of overthrow of the government
by force or violence?"
AS Chairman Neely raped his
gaVel for order among the spec
tators, Connally angrily remarked
This is not a town meeting.
I ask for order"
When Senator Borah demanded
that Sullivan produce evidence
that Frankfurter had advocated
overthrow of the Government by
force, the witness said:
mo, I have no direct state
ments by him to that effect. A
man would be foolish to make
a statement like that. You have
to study his writings as a whole
to see what his views are"
The hearing recessed until 10
q. m. tomorrow.
