Showdownls
Nearing For
Axis, Russia
Hitler's Sending of
100000 Fresh German
Troops Into Rumania
Shrouded in Mystery;
Troops Comb All Brit
ish Beaches.
(By The Associated PreSs.)

Britain suddenly doubled her
guards on the mist-shrouded channel
coast today, vigilant against posi-
BILE German invasion thrust across
the now calm Strait of Dover.
At the same time Adolf Hitler
posed the wars biggest mystery as
the vanguard of 100000 fresh Ger
man troops sped by train through
Hungary into Rumania.
Speculation was rife in Balkan
capitals that showdown may be APP
preaching between the Rome-Berln
axis and Russia over the strategical-
ly vital Danube river. Observers also
saw the possibility of nazi action
against Greece-or even Turkey and
the Near EaSt-in a German drive to
the Near East
Some quarters viewed the mass
German troop movement into Ru-
mania as feint to throw Britain off
guard on her home 'front.' setting tine
stage of a lightning invasion Of the
island kingdom. If so, Britain was
not deceived. Picked troops, armed
with light machine guns, combed the
beaches and kept watch from the
white cliffs of Dover.
Traffic along the coast was stop
ped at barricadeS. Drivers and pas
sengers were searched. Even UNI
formed soldiers and sailors had to
show Identification cards.
Britons recalled that less than 48
hours ago Field Marshal Walther Won
Baruchitsch, commander-in-chief of
the German army, told nazi troops
across the channel he knew they
were lust burning to invade Eng
land.
In the puzzling Balkan situation,
Budapest dispatches quoted travel
ers from Germany as saying rail
traffic in the eastern Reich was being
disrupted by the passage of nazl
troop trains toward the Soviet from
tier and into Slovakia.
Disclosure of the naZi troop move
ments followed closely the news that
German Russian, Italian and Ruman-
ian experts who had been negotiat-
ing in Bucharest two months had de-
parted for home after failing to agree
on which nation or group of nations
should control the Danube delta.
Britain and Germany were free
from bomb attacks over Christmas
but the Greek island of Corfu was
said by the Greek high command to
have been bombed by Italian filters
Christmas day.
On the north African front the
siege of Bardia entered its tenth day,
with the Italian garrison facing
steadily increasing pressure from
British forces encircling it by land
and sea.

Nv HENRY AVERlLL

Raleigh, Dec. 26.-The parole
system of North Carolina is general
ly regarded as something very valu-
able in the way of rehabilitating citi-
zcns who have strayed from the
straight and narrow path; but it will
likely lie something of a surprise to
most to know that Parole Commits
sioncr Edwin Gill looks on his set
up as an agency which is worth
money-meaning cold hard dollars
and cents-to the State.
He hasn't himself worked out any
definite figure to show that the pa
role setup is worth exactly so many
hundred thousand dollars year, but
in his brief to the Advisory Budget
Commission, supporting his requests
for working funds, he gives a good
basis on which such calculations
could be made.
Between October 1, 1885, and
July l, 1910, this office placed on pa
rolls 3,142 persons and the com
bined unserved portions of their SEN
fences amounted to 7,141 years, the
brief recited. "After deducting ~
per cent for probable gained time Tor
good behavior, and after deductlng
20 per cent for possible failures on
parole, we still have a net unserVed
balance on the combined sentences
of 1928 prison years. If we break
this down into days, it appears that
through the parole process the
State Penal Division is relieved OF
the custodial expense of one prisoner

dition that a Jewish football play
er will be represented on one of the
teams that plays in this Bowl of
BOwls-(a rose by any other name,
You knOw0 will continue unbrO-
ken. Lee Graft, easily the Coasts

the score of other Jewish boys who
have performed in the Rose Bowl
tilt during the last twenty years.
Harry Babe" Hamberg, the
mighty mite among the tall oaks
that comprise the Arkansas elev-
en-, proved one of the fieriest atoms
to cavort on the grid since Albie
Booth played at Yale. Hamberg-
actually the only man under six
feet on the Arkansas first team
eleven-sparked his club to victory
in all but the Fordham game when
the Arks visited New York.
And so it gOes-there are hun
dreds of mOleSkin-clad warriors
who have not been mentioned in
these columns during the football
season but, as we mentioned at the
beginning of the campaign in Sep
TENDER, this would be an impOssi-
BILE task since the numbers of jew
ish football players are increasing
constantly from year to year.
We could easily have picked an
other Jewish All-American much
in the same way we did some five
and ten years ago but to no pur-
pose. Our contention still holds
good. If the Jewish boys named by
us were of sufficient calibre to
rate national prominence they
would have been selected by ex-
perts around the country. Our
contention was borne out when
Alderman was chosen by the
South, Mendelsohn by the East,
Graft by the West, Frutig in the
Midwest and Friedman by the
North. To be sure, no Jewish back

Alderman was the unanimous
choice for center on the All-South
selections and he rated only few
notches below Captain Frick of
the University of Pennsylvania
who was the APPS choice for snap-
per-backer. Ed Frutig, of the
Michigan Wolverines, won hands

Irving Mendelsohn was one of

mainstays in a line that cracked

greater number of individuals in

Such persons, once domiciled in
Kentucky, are subject to the Ken

is claimed to be outside of Kentucky
there must be clear and convincing
evidence in the form of identifiable
actions Of such intention to estab-
lish domicile in some other State
