on his arrival here yesterday after
noon from his stx-week mission to
Europe. during which he talked In
rapid succession with Premier Mus
soiini Of Italy, Chancellor Hitler OF
Germany, Premier Chamberlain OF
Great Britain, Premier Daladier of
France and his successor, Reynaud;
the Pope and other leaders in the
key capitals.
Beyond saying that he was glad
to be back and was going directly

he alighted in Union Station at 2:25
pm. from the train that bore him
from New York, where he had ar
rived on the Italian liner Conte di
Savoia yesterday morning.
He went Immediately to Secretary
Hull's office when he arrived at the
State Department, and they prompt
ly arranged to go across the street
and talk with the President. They
went into the White House together
shortly after pm. and remained
for an hour and half.
In the midst Of the discussion, Mr.
Early called reporters into his Office
to issue his statement emphasizing
the secrecy of the Welles report.

Apparently Mr.. Welles had not
lntrusted to the cables the impor-
tant features of his report, or even
reduced them to writing Secretary

that Mr.. Welles was bringing the
essence of his report with him. Mr..
Welles carried tan dispatch case
from his train to the State DEPART

other peace organizations issued
a statement declaring that this

Crew TO Abandon Freighte|
Disabled in Atlantic
BY the Associated Press.

by lQe Associated PreSS.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Sept. 28.-
Battling rough seas in the Atlantic
100 miles northeast of Jacksonville,
the crew of the freighter Alice Tebbs
prepared to abandon the sinking
vessel today and board the rescue
ship Samuel @. Brown.
A terse message to Coast Guard
divisional headquarters from the
Tebbs said:
I'VE abandoning ship soon, as
she will not last much longer. We
will go aboard steamship Samuel
@. Brown. We have man with
broken leg and internal injuries"
Another message from the Tebbs,
which radioed early today her seams
had opened and that she was waging
a losing fight against waters rising
in the hold, asked the Coast Guard
to meet the Brown with medical aid
for the injured sailor.
The Coast Guard cutter Talla-
poosa was expected to reach the
Tebbs in early afternoon. The steam
ship Malabar is also standing by.
The Tebbs is a 2,246-ton freighter
owned by the Southland Steamship
Co. of Aberdeen, Wash. The num-
Der Of her crew was not known here.

ROME. Sept. 28.-Italian political
circles suggested today that Bulgaria,
friendliest of the Balkan countries
to Soviet Russia, may join the new
axis pact of Germany, Italy and
Japan.
Spain also was considered likely to
be a recruit in the near future to
the military accord against attacks
by any other power not now at war
in Europe or Asia.
Bulgaria traditionally has been
amenable to the brother Slav' in
f1uence of Russia.
If Bulgaria entered the new align
ment. foreign observers said, it pre-
sumably would be for protection
against Greece. from which Sofia
wants an outlet to the Aegean Sea
through Thrace and also against
neighboring Turkey, friendly with
Britain.
Would Isolate Turkey.
Such an alliance, these observers
added, would tend to isolate Turkey
in manner similar to the United
States.

Pan-American Unity,
More Aid 10 Britain
Seen Answer 10 Pact
Havana Treaty Raped;
President Sees Lothion
And Defense Aides

A double e-barrelled answer of Pan
American solidarity by terms of the
Havana treaty and probable in
creased aid to Britain seemed 'on
the record" today as initial reac-
ton here to completion of the Ger
man-Italian-JapaneSe alliance.
Designed primarily to counter any
dangers of German annexation OF
French, Dutch or other European
possessions in the Western Hemi-
sphere, the Havana agreement,
bearing the signatures of represent
atives of every American nation,
was ratified by the Senate yesterday
without a dissenting vote.
Later, Chairman Pittman of the
Foreign Relations Committee cited
the document and our acceptance
of it as new proof of Pan American
solidarity and the preparedness of
this half of the world to meet ANY
aggression" which might arise from
the tOtalitarian bloc.
No Change in U. S. Policy.
''It minimizes the effect of the
proclaimed solidarity of the Eastern
Hemisphere. as expressed in the tri-
power axis treaty" he told reporters.
1T furnishes concrete evidence that
the countries of the Western Hemi-
sphere are prepared to meet any
aggression with a united front"
What aggression might conceiv-
ably result from the new axis alli-
ance the Senator did not say, but
official Washington generally re-
garded it as directed chiefly at the
United States as the only potential
new enemy of the totalitarian states
in either the Orient or Europe.
There were no indications, how
ever, that the course of United
States foreign policy would be al
tered in the slightest On the con-
trary, Secretary Hull said yesterday
that the Berlin treaty was not un-
expected, and that. in fact, such a
development had been taken into
account in determining this coun-
try's policies.

Trained from comment on the pact,
entertained new appeals for greater
aid to the British. A group of 81

DETROIT, Sept 8.-Michigan,
like a score of other big States in
the West and North, takes its place
in the 1910 presidential campaign
as a pivotal State" -Four years
ago President Roosevelt carried 1t
by $4,000 over ALI M. Landon, then
Governor of Kansas and the Re-
publican nominee. In that election
a total of 1,7l6,OOO votes were cast
The chances are that an even larger
vote will be cast on November S.
Registration in Detroit alone
Wayne County-is up about $4,000.
The job cut out for the G. o. P.
is to wipe out the more than 300 900
lead which Mr.. Roosevelt had four
years ago. This means swinging
approximately 10000 votes away
from the New Deal candidate. It's a
big task, and the Republicans are
not discounting it. The Democrats
say it cannot be done
However, there are many signs
that the New Deal is far less popu-
lar today than it was in 1936-the
very crest of the Roosevelt popu-
larity. For example, in 1888 the
Republicans elected their candi-
dates for Governor and other State
officers, and II members of the
House to for the Democrats. The
Republicans cast in the primary
elections this year about 10000
more votes than did the Democrats.
Willkie Given "a Chance"
President Roosevelt was not him.
self a candidate in 1938-although
he did all he could to help re-elect
Frank Murphy-now an associate
justice of the Supreme Court-Gov-
ernor. Impartial obServers-as i'm
partial as they come in these hectic
days-insist that Mr.. Willkie has a
chance; that the outcome rests with
a very large independent vote,
ranging as high as 20 to 80 per cent
of the total. To give Mr.. Willkie
chance is admitting that Mr.. Roose-
welt has lost ground very greatly in
view of the figures of the 1886 elec-
ton.
Detroit is the New Deal stronghold
In Michigan. 1t has been for the
last SIX or seven years. Four years
ago Wayne County rolled up lead
of 214,O00 votes for Mr.. Roosevelt
over Mr. Landon. The county cast
about 900 900 of the total vote in the
State. 1t is the big industrial center
of Michigan. Today labor is still
strongly for the President, as every
