Mccoy, who was declared free

dis along with 80 other Tiger chat
tells, could have signed a contract
at midnight Sunday, but he de-
layed until this afternoon to give all

She specifically recommended

torical reasons for refusing suffrage
are "in the past"
But certainly, she said, something
should be done to make these in
stitutions of more interest to the
taxpayers and to have them bet
ter supported.
Youth Conferences Near.
At her press conference Mrs.
Roosevelt also described the two
conferences on youth problems to
be held in the near future.
Next Monday and Tuesday, the
National Youth Administration will
sponsor a conference, made up pri-
marily of older people, to deal with
single problem-the proper train
ing and employment of girls and
young women. Mrs. Roosevelt
hoped that this conference, which
will have its opening meeting at the
White House, would result In better
projects throughout the N. Y. A.
for girls.
Some 5000 young people from all
over the country, she said, would be
here for the citizenship institute
sponsored by the American Youth
Congress in the Labor Department
Auditorium February 9 to r..
Mrs. Roosevelt said she planned
to attend most of the meetings. at
which the primary interest would be
in the Youth Act which has gone
in revised shape before Congress.
The young people, she predicted,
would probably pay calls on their
Senators.
The main problem at the mo-
ment, she said, was to house the
delegations. Mrs Harry Woodring,
wife of the Secretary of War, would
take in one delegate, she said. and
Mrs. Henry Morgenthau. wife of the
Secretary Of the Treasury, would
house four of them. Other wives
of cabinet officials, she explained,
had sent checks to put up the young
people at hotels or boarding houses.

japanese Prepare
Second Protest on
Germans Seizure
British Reply to First
Note on Asumu Muru
Held inadequate
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Jan. 29.-Japan prepared
q second protest to Great Britain
today on the seizure Of 81 Germans
from the japanese liner Asama
Maru as the case approached the
proportions of major political and
international issue.
A foreign Office spokesman said
the new protest might demand
formally that the Germans be re-
turned. The Japanese interpreta-
ton of international law in such
cases holds that only persons active
in fighting services are liable to
seizure from neutral ships. The
Germans were all seamen of mill
tary age.
The unpublished British reply to
the first note over the incident jan
uary 81 when British warship fired
warning shot across the Asama
Maru's bow 35 miles off Yokohama,
stopped her and took off the Ger
mans, was called inadequate"
The British note was to have been
published today, but the foreign
office said it's contents might not
be made public in order to avoid
stirring up further popular indig-
nation.
Dissatisfaction with the British
stand was widespread and there
were indications that Rightists
might make capital of the case
during the session of Parliament
which opens Thursday. They may
demand that Premier Admiral Nit
sumasa Yonai's government obtain
satisfactory redress or resign.
Japan has taken the view that
the seizure was serious, un-
friendly act" and an admiralty
spokesman said last week her navy
was making preparations to pre-
vent such incidents in the future" !"
This source held that Japan would
refuse to debate legal questions, de-
claring national feelings are more
important than questions of law
Pressure From U. S. Seen.
The newspaper Kokumin saw the
possibility that the United States
might increase economic pressure
on Japan if Japan failed to obtain
complete satisfaction from Britain.
1t declared the United States was
watching the situation closely and
should Japan remain weak in
diplomacy toward Britain, the
United States undoubtedly will re-
sort to the fullest economic pres
sure" To many japanese, this was
a hint that an American embargo
threatened.
Hundreds of menacing letters,
meanwhile, reached Capt. Yoshisada
Watanabe. dismissed from command
of the Asama Maru on charges of
misconduct in connection with the
halting of his ship. Many of the
threats accused him OF being an
accessory to a national insult.
His children have stayed away
from school and the family has re-
manned indoors to avoid street
incidents.

Reds Charge Firms Aim
To Conquer Leningrod

MOSCOW, Jan. 20 R.-Russians
received scant official reports today
Of war activity and an unofflcial
Russian allegation that the Finnish
command contemplates conquest Of
Leningrad and restoration of the
Romanoffs.
The Leningrad headquarters COM
munique on the war with Finland
said:
January 28-Nothing of impor-
tance took place on the 'front.'"
Field Marshal Baron Carl Gus
tat Mannerheim, commander in
chief of the Finnish Army, was &C
cused by the newspaper Trud of
believing his historical mission is
the conquest of Leningrad and res
toration of the Romanof dynasty
Trud, organ of Soviet trade
unions, added that the Firms
dream of annexing Northern Nor
way and Northern Sweden" It
charged that the Finnish govern
ment oppressed minorities, espe-
cially LappS and SWedes.
The Soviet official news agency,
Tass, said yesterday it had been
authorized by responsible quar-
ters" to deny reports that there are
German troops in the Russian -oc-
cupied part of Poland.
Not a single foreign solder or
officer has been present in the ter
ritory," the agency said, adding that
good neighborly relations" between
the Reich and Russia prevented such
a possibility.
Reports from Bucharest last week,
denied ir Berlin, said the Germans
were policing 200 miles OF railway
linking Rumsnia with Germany be-
cause of the inefnciency and recalci-
trance Of train crews carrying oil to
the Reich.
