sion Of reports that he was paying
Joe Gould, New York fight manager,

II spent only q short time with
the commissioner" Di Maggie said,
"and there is nothing to say except
that he did ask me about the Brad
dock and Gould reports, which I de-
MED as completely untrue"
Asked whether Commissioner Ian

ing about the conference, Di Maggie
said: well, he sort of indicated
that much"
When asked whether the case was
closed" Commissioner Lands said:
please don't infer one way or the
other-dont infer that there's some
thing to it or that there isn't any
thing to It,"
The reports which brought Judge
Lands into the picture had Di Mag
gio paying Gould II per cent Of

turn. passing on 2 per cent to Brad

been informed.
Gen. Wilhelm Won Dommes, ad-
ministrator of the Hohenzollern
family's properties, who was per-

mand to motor into conquered
Holland, reported he found the 81
year-old ex-monarch planning to
remain at his retreat.
The German Army, marching In
the direction of Utrecht, made q
detour so as not to involve Doom
In possible action.
Because of the difficulties Of COM
munication, Won Dommes could
send only the briefest message re-
garding the aged monarch, hence
details were unknown to the family
Administration headquarters voiced

Presidents
Message

The teri of the special defense
message tOhtch President Roose-
Uelt personally delipered to Con-
0ress today:
These are ominous days-days
whose swift and shocking de-
velopments force every neutral
nation to look to its defenses in
the light Of new factors. The
brutal force Of modern offensive
war has been loosed in all its
horror. New powers Of destruc-
ton, incredibly swift and deadly,
have been developed; and those
who WELD them are ruthless and
daring. No old defense Is so
strong that it requires no further
strengthening and no attack is 50
unlikely or impossible that it may
be ignored.
Let us examine, without SELF
deception, the dangers which
confront us. Let US measure our
strength and our defense without
self-delusion.
The clear fact is that the Amer
ican people must recast their
thinking about national protec-
ton.
Motorized armies can now
sweep through enemy territories
at the rate Of 200 miles q day.
Parachute troops are dropped
from airplanes in large numbers
behind enemy lines. Troops are
landed from planes In open
fields, on wide highways, and at
local civil airports.
We have seen the treacherous
use Of the fifth column" by
which persons supposed to be
peaceful visitors were actually q
