PARIS, June 13 (N.A.NA).-Sat-
isfaction is expressed here about the
understanding reached by the Lon
don and Paris cabinets concerning
the formula to be embodied in the
instructions to William Strang,
Britain's special envoy, and sub
mitted to the Soviet government.
Once more the scope of procedure
OF diplomatic consultation has been
narrowed down. No diplomatic con-
sultation would have to be resorted
to II an attack, direct or indirect,
were launched upon France, Britain
or Russia. The term indirect at
tack covers the case of an aggres-
sion upon any state guaranteed by
any one of the three signatories to
the mutual assistance pact and, in
addition, upon the Baltic states.
Diplomatic consultation would
have to precede execution of the
mutual assistance pact only if one
Of the three signatories was engaged

ternational complications. That
term. international complications" {"
Is deemed to apply to the hypothesis
OF eventual German political pene-
tration into any one of the Baltic
states, to which Russia might raise
an objection because of the implied
threat to her vital interests.
Moreover, there is reason to think
that some freedom of decision will
be left to Sir William Seeds, British
Ambassador to Moscow, and Shrang

Premier and Foreign Commissar

of diplomatic consultations were put
forward, speedy conclusion of the
agreement would not by any means
be excluded.

Simon appear to have been influ-

Czechs' Secret Rudio

BY the Associated Press.

PRAGUE, June 13.-German po-
lice at Kladno last night arrested
several persons suspected of COM
plicity in the Staying of a Nazi po-
liceman and Immediately announced
relaxation of punitive measures i'm
posed on the little industrial town.
StricteSt secrecy was maintained
by the authorities as to the identity
and exact number held in connec-
ton with the death of Police Sergt.
Wilhelm Kniest, who was found shot
to death on a Kladno street last
Thursday.
1t was announced that schools,
closed following the incident, would
reopen tomorrow. Kladno residents
also were told they could again keep
their windows open at night.
The arrests in Kladno were an
nounced after several persons had
been rounded up and brought to
Prague. Police earlier indicated spe-
clal attention was being given to the
possibility of conspiracy involv-
ing many persons.
As~SAAV L hhuOy NdzlS.
Authorities were particularly anx-
ious to determine whether the killing
was planned by an illegal organiza-
ton. They said they believed that if
such an organization existed it ex-
tended beyond Kladno. Czech
sources in Kladno reported, however,
that German police were pursuing
one definite suspect, a bank robber
who recently escaped from a Czech
prison.
German officials admitted they
were ''irritated" by Czechs using
tiny, secret radio transmitters reg
ulated by time devices and working
without human attendance. Hidden
transmitters broadcast speeches
from phonograph records calling
on the Czech population to preserve
solid front.
Germans said this phase of the
passive resistance" campaign, how
ever, did not have a great influence.
Patriotic Nurse Takes Blame.
Anna Kopecka, young Czech nurse
who surrendered and told police she
killed Kniest, has been charged
formally with misleading authori-
ties" in their investigation, German
officials disclosed.
Acting as patriot, the nurse took
full responsibility, they said, declar-
ing Il wanted to relieve the suffer-
ings of the Czech people of Kladno."
When she surrendered the German
authorities had set a time limit for
discovery of the slayer under pen
atty of further restrictive measures
against the Kladno district.
In Kladno collections started for
the 100000 crown ($20,O00) fine i'm
posed on the community. Jews were
being required to make the largest
contributions and there were special
assessments for persons known to
have been supporters of former
President Benes of the Czecho-Slo-
yak republic. Contributions of work.

Tension in Danziu
Grows After Arrest
Of Polish Spy
Action Thot May Leod

~ the Associated Press

~ the Associated Press.
FREE CITY OF DANZ1G, June
l3.-Nazis said last night the arrest
OF Polish customs inspector, who
one publication reported was a con-
fessed Polish spy, had sharpened
political tension in the Free City.
One possibility mentioned was
that the government of Danzig
might attempt arbitrarily to reduce
the number of Polish customs in
spectors, despite Polish reflections Of
similar demands in the past.
The official Nazi newspaper in
the Free City, the Danziger Vor-
posten, said the arrested Polish Of
f1cial, Jan Henryk Lipinski. had
admitted he actually was an espion-
age agent seeking to learn why Ger
man storm troopers had gathered in
Danzig during sports festival last
week end, in which 5000 Brown
shirts from East Prussia partici-
pated.
Lipinski was arrested Friday on
charges of attempted espionage and
kidnapping.
A communique accused him Of
having represented himself as a
former reserve officer of the Ger
man Army, and as such of having
tried to obtain military information.
1t said he also attempted to per-
suade two storm troopers to accom-
pany him across the border into
Poland.
Qn Warsaw, Marian Cho-
dacki, Polish commissioner to
Danzig, was said to have pro-
tested against the arrest of
Lipinski. One Polish version said
Lipinski was taken Saturday to
an isolated village and beaten,
another that he was pushed into
police car and told, without
justification, that he was being
charged with drunkenness)
Nazis have asserted that the Po-
lish customs force in Danzig recent
ly had been doubled and consist
ed of 120 inspectors and about 80
assistants, all permitted to carry
arms.
(The future of the Free City has
been sharp issue for months be-
tween Poland and Germany. Poland
wants it to remain under the NOM
inal administration of the League
OF Nations and within the Polish
customs jurisdiction. Germany,
from whom it was taken after the
World War, demands its return)
