to specific welfare and educational
funds, more stringent punishment
for drinking drivers and In some
States the prohibition Of Sunday

Aide Tells Court
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Sept. 30-Fritz
Kuhn, German American bund
leader. was held in the Tombs
prison today under $4,000 bail to
insure his remaining in this country
to face grand larceny and forgery
charges.
Defense attorneys tried to free
Kuhn on a habeas corpus writ.
The portly bund master, who has
testified before the Dies Congress
sional Committee investigating un-
American activities, was locked up
last night after his $1,000 bail on
a charge Of stealing $14,548 from
bund funds was increased tenfold at
the request of District Attorney
Thomas E. Dewey's office.
I'VE have authentic secret infor-
nation that Kuhn is planning to
fee the country and may not be
available when his case comes to
trial" said Assistant District Attor-
ney Milton Schilback.
Kuhn's attorney, James Neary

as outrageous. He said his client

tact with the leaders of the army,
navy and air force.
Informed persons said the purpose
of the Italians surprise visit was to
get a first-hand report from Hitler
and Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop on the German Russian
accords signed Thursday night in
Moscow and all their implications.
The announcement gave weight to
reports in informed quarters that
Italy might act as peace agent
should Britain and France show an
interest in the German Russian
peace gesture.
The German-Soviet Russian con-
ditions for European peace raised
the question in some diplomatic
quarters whether they were Hitler's
"last-chance offer to Great Britain
and France.
After cooperating with Russia
in the fourth partition of Poland,
Germany stipulated two essential
conditions for peace:
l. That she and Russia alone
decide the fate of Poland-in ef-
feet, that there be no interfer-
ence with their almost equal divi-
sion of the conquered territory.
2. That the natural develop
ment of German interests in the
Balkans" be undisturbed.
Sharing attention with develop
ments on the diplomatic front was a
communique covering the last "a
hours from the German high COM
mand declaring that IL British
war planes had been repulsed in an
attempt to penetrate German terri
tory along the North Sea coast.
Nazi airmen yesterday shot down
| five of six British planes which they
engaged over the Frisian Islands, the
communique said. Crews of two
German pursuit planes, said to have
made emergency landings on the
sea, were reported rescued by Nazi
warships.
Six other British planes, the COM
munique declared, attacked Nazi
destroyer lin German bay" but
were driven off by anti-aircraft guns
without scoring a hit.

said 10 enemy airplanes and two
captive balloons had been shot down
in the west since last Sunday. With
the five British warplanes report

sells had been searched for contra

In the last, approximately 5000
Polish troops were said to have
surrendered south of the Vistula
after the capitulation of Modlin.
Hints of Rejection Received.
The German foreign Office re-
ceived its first hint of Britain's
reaction to the Nazi-Soviet agree
ment in the form of London press
comment that the partnership had
no effect on British war aims. From
Paris, too, came indications that
France would spurn the German
Russian overture.
The tendency in informed quar-
ters here, however, was to discount
the British attitude as being snap
judgment that would be changed
after more careful consideration OF
the new situation.

In response to questions, Foster
said he would not support the United
States If 1t entered the European
conflict on the side of England and
France. Furthermore, he added, he
would urge his party to withhold its
support. .
Under the present set-up, I re-

testified, "and under that, would
not support the United States"
Foster agreed to Chairman Dies
request to submit the names of as
many Communist leaders, organ
izers and omcials as possible, but
added:

gested that the committee get names

ment:
This committee will insist that
the Communist party submit a true
and correct list of its membership
and, If you don't, the issue will be
made squarely to disband your party
just as in France and as it ought to
be throughout the world"
The chairman said Fosters con-
tention that he was covering up"
was not true.
He said he would demand similar
membership lists from the Silver
Shirts, the German-American Bund,
the knights Of the White Camellia

Advocates Of EMBARGO
On Arms Hear Nye,
Clark and Capper
Senators Speak at
Meeting Held in
BeIusco Theoter

Advocates of arms embargo law
retention last night heard three
members Of the Senate anti-repeal
bloc and Socialist leader reiterate
their opposition to repeal of the
ban in speeches at the Belasco
Theater.
Senators Clark of Missouri, Cap
per Of Kansas and Nye of North
Dakota, together with Norman
Thomas, were principal speakers at
the rally, which was sponsored by
the Womens International League
for Peace and Freedom, National
Council for Prevention of War, Fel-
lowship of Reconciliation, War Re-
sisters League, Keep America Out
Of War Congress, Youth Committee
Against War, World Peace Com
mission Of the Methodist Church
and Church of the Brethren.
Senator Clark declared himself
surprised at what he termed Presi-
dent Roosevelt's emphasis on the
profit motive in arguing for repeal
of the arms embargo"
Sees Munitions Boom.
The Missouri Senator contended
the cash-and-carry arms sale pro-
posal would promote boom in the
munitions industry of the Nation,
continuance of which would be
sought by extension of credits or
loans to belligerents when cash no
longer could be supplied. The other
speakers also laid emphasis on this
argument in voicing their opinion
repeal of the ambargo would be
the first step toward war"
DIR. Ernest Fremont Title, Sec
retary of the Methodist Church
Peace Commission, stated impending
collapse of munitions boom would
plunge the United States into war,
IN the name, of course, of morality
and religion" to avoid a panic.
Senators Clark and Nye recalled
the Presidents campaign speech in
Chautauqua, N. Y, in 1886, in which
an arms embargo was supported by
the Chief Executive. and said the
arguments presented by him then
were as valid today.
Fears Confirmed Emergency"
The North Dakotan declared the
limited emergency" proclaimed
would become confirmed eemr =
gency" if the cash-and-ca plan
is enacted. He added What a lot
OF people mean by adjourning poll
tics in this hour is adjourning public
opinion"
Senator Capper expressed regret
that he could not go along with
President Roosevelt in his high en-
thusiasm for the welfare of the
whole world .
Mr.. Thomas, frequent candi-
date for President on the Socialist
ticket, closed his address by an ap-
peal for contributions of $40 up
'for campaign of education to
keep the United States out of war
One $500 pledge was among the 10
nations from the audience, and a
collection of sums less than $40 was
taken up later.

artist, sang during the program.
