BUCHAREST, Sept. 2l.-Authori-
tative sources said today the Ru-
manian government had decided to
intern Polish President Ignace Mos
eicki, Foreign Minister Josef Beck
and other high civil officials as well
as Marshal Edward Smigly-Rydz,
Polish Army commander.
All had crossed the frontier from
Poland into Rumania.
Smigly-Rydz was interned yester-
day and sent to enforced domicile at
Craiova, near the junction of the
Rumanian-Bulgarian frontiers.
Both Britain and France had ap-
pealed that he be allowed to leave the
country, while Nazis insisted he be
tnterned like any other soldier.
Moscicki was in Bicaz, where he
was living in King Carols hunting
lodge, and Beck was in Slanic, re-
sort north of Bucharest.
. 1t also was reported reliably yes
terday that, after complaint to the
Rumanian police by the German
Consul at Cernauti, Gen. Josef Hal
Ter, founder of the Polish Legion in
France during the World War, had
been interned by Rumanian au-
thorities.
Authoritative sources said the new
decision of the Rumanian govern
ment would be announced officially

seek the Naval Committee assign

Despite his efforts in behalf of
peaceful settlement of interna-
tional disputes. Secretary Swanson,
even after becoming Secretary of the
Navy, retained his belief in the need
of big Navy. This was exemplified
in the following excerpts from a
speech he delivered May "a, 1888, in
the National Radio Forum, Spon-
sored by The Star:
There is no use having a second
class Navy, or third-class Navy.
Unless the Navy is sufficient to take
care OF our rights and defend them,
it is a useless expense"

Gives Wise Advice.
Once while in the Senate young
House member, perpleXed as to how
he should vote on a roll call, asked
Senator SWanson's advice. The
young House member spilled all his
troubles, the pros and cons of the
vote, and the possible political reper-
cussions to either way he voted.
His keen, dark eyes twinkling,
Mr.. Swanson replied:
right"
His face testified to the humor in
side him. Even in repose his eyes
seemed to smile and there was ever
about him an air of whimsicality.
The many years he held public
office told of his political sagacity.
He knew how to smile, and smiled
readily. He knew how to shake
hands, and what to say when he met
people back home-which meant
just about all Virginia. He made
friends, high and low, and held them
all.
One reason for his sparkling good
humor was that he never hunted
trouble. Asked one day how he
would vote on a controversial meas
ure, he replied: Remember what
they say about crossing bridges
Against Money Evil"
When Mr.. Swanson arrived at the
Capitol the issue was money. The
young Representative took his stand
against the money evil" the point
OF view which was epitomized in
1896 by William Jennings Bryan in
his "cross of gold" speech.
The next great issue which en-
crossed his attention was the ques-
tion of the League of Nations and
the World Court, which he sup
ported during the 1920s, when he
was member of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee.
Mr.. Swanson resigned from the
House to make the successful race
for Governor. He took over the
reins of the State government at a
critical time and completed the re-
organizat ton of the State service
incident to the new constitution of
1902. In addition to his leadership
in the establishment of the present
educational system it was during
his administration that the State
health department and the State
Board of Charities and Corrections,
later the department of public well
fare, were established. His friends
credited him with launching many

that time he met Admiral Fighting

Chamberlain DELAYS
Statement on Danziq
Attitude Till Monday
Prime Minister Had Been
Expected to Clarity
Stand Today
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 7.-Parliamentary
circles believed today Prime Min
lister Chamberlain on Monday would
declare that any German-supported
change in the status of Danzig, ex-
cept by a Polish backed agreement,
would be considered an "act of ag-
gression" by Germany.
The Prime Minister had been ex-
pected to make a statement in the
House of Commons today, but post
poned it because of technicalities in
parliamentary procedure.
Some indication of the nature of
the proposed declaration was seen
in a question filed in the House Of
Commons by Harold Macmillan, a
member of the Conservative party,
to be answered Monday.
Form OF Question.
The question, which informed
sources said was framed at Mr..
Chamberlain request, asks whether
The government will issue decla-
ration that any change in the pres
ent status of Danzig, other than
by agreement to which the Polish
government is party, whether
brought about externally by military
action on the part of Germany or
internally by movement initiated
or supported by the German govern
ment, will be regarded as an act Of
aggression on the part of Germany
and therefore covered by the terms
of our pledge to Poland"
1t was understood the Prime Min
lister would give an affirmative reply.
The undertaking as announced
last March 81 by Mr.. Chamberlain
was: I'm the event of any action
which clearly threatened Polish in
dependence and which the Polish
government accordingly considered
it vital to resist with their national
forces, his majesty's government

bill reduces the number to IL, and
leaves the Board of Education and
the Board of Public Library Trus-
tees as independent, autonomous
units.
The principal change made in
the original plan, as forecast ex-
clusively in The Star last Sunday
provides for creation of a Depart
ment of Public Safety which would
be composed chiefly of the police
and fire departments. The bill also
would change the name of the
proposed Department of Labor to
the Department of Industrial Re-
lations.
The new Department of Public
Safety which, it is understood the
President suggested, also would in
clude the Department of Vehicles
and Traffic, with the exception of
divisions which issue and revoke
licenses and permits; the Alcohol
Beverage Control Board, the Boxing
Commission, the poundmaster, the
United States marshal the Depart

Larger Board Abandoned.
Mr.. Roosevelt had urged that the
Board of Commissioners be en-
larged from three to five members
to give the disfranchised residents
of the District greater representa-
ton on the proposed governing
body. That change was made in
revision of the original reorganiza-
tlon plan about a month ago, but
recently Representative Kennedy is
said to have convinced the Presi-
dent such a revision might lead to
serious controversy in Congress,
and it was subsequently removed.
The IL departments that would be
created under Mr. Kennedy's bill,
follow: Finance, personnel, revenue,
law, public safety, public utilities,
insurance, industrial relations,
health. public welfare, public works
and recreation.
The II departments contemplated
IN the original Griffenhagen reor-
edlllAdtlOIl pan were.
Finance, personnel, revenue, law,
education, libraries, police, fire, pub
lie utilities, insurance, occupational
standards, unemployment compen-
sation, health, public welfare pub
lie works, recreation and title
records.
Two of these proposed II depart
ments were eliminated by providing
that education and libraries should
be separate establishments and re-
main under control of their reSpec-
tive boards and not the control of
the administrator. Another was re-
moved in the proposed consolidation
of the Police and Fire Departments
into the Department of Public
Safety. The others would be alb
sorbed by the Departments of In
dustrial Relations and Finance.
ConSOlidates Several Courts.
The revised plan, as intimated a
month ago, also provides for con-
solidation of the Police, Municipal
and Juvenile Courts into one Munic-
ipal Court. The judges of these
courts would be required to sit
en- banc.
Mr.. Kennedy said adoption of the
reorganization plan would give the
District model municipal gov
ernment' which would set pattern
OF efficiency and economy beyond
any heretofore established for other
cities throughout the country to
follow" He emphasized. however,
that consolidation of various agen-
cies would not result in the removal
of any municipal employees. Reduc-
tions in personnel, he pointed out,
would materialize through vacancies
due to designations, retirements and
deaths, which would not be filed.
