ton alleges rejected the application
of the plaintiff for approval of the
building permit filed in May. The
rejection is described in the petit
ton as arbitrary, unreasonable and
without authority in law or fact"
The plaintiff claims that he and
his father have been in possession
of the tract, which lies in the midst
of approximately 200 acres and ad-
joins Commercial Airport, since
1875, and that the tract has been
used continuously as a place of
commercial business since June,
1884.
The petition states further that a
permit to erect the building now
standing on the site was issued
prior to 1884 and that annually
since that date traders licenses
have been issued to the plaintiff.
The petition asks that the Park
and Planning Commission be forced
to grant approval for building
permit on the ground of past and
present commercial use.
Meanwhile, five owners of prop
erty on the east side of the pike
in the vicinity of the airport, who
have sought for several years with
out success to have the airports
license revoked, changed tactics
and have filed applications to re-
zone their property from residen-

Miss Perkins Reports Jobs
Up 100000 in 7 Years

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Sept. 3.-Secretary of
Labor Perkins, reporting an increase
of more than 100000 in non-agri-
cultural employment in the last
year, asserted yesterday that "this
employment is some 100000 greater

elusive of some 100000 additional
men and women engaged on w. P.
A, G. G. c. and N. Y. A. tasks"
She forecast that employment and
pay rolls would continue to rise in
the coming months as industries ex-
pand under the comprehensive de-
fense program"
In a Labor Day message Miss Per-
kins reported that the year had seen
"a marked improvement in indus
trial relations" and that wage
earners and business were Co
operating Fundamentally" in carry
ing out defense tasks.
Miss Perkins said that factory
pay rolls alone show a rise of nearly
s22 100000 weekly" in the last year.

Duronty Reports
BY WALTER DURANTY.

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Sept.
(N.ANAD-The Royal Regency
or governor of Cluj, the Transyl-
vania capital, has formed mixed
defense corps of 500 Rumanians and
500 Hungarians, armed with rifles,
to maintain order until the evacua-
ton of the territory ceded to Hun
gary is completed
The decision was made as a result
of a clash yesterday morning Ie-
tween young Hungarians, singing
patriotic songs, and Rumanian stu
dents and peasants in which six or
seven lives were reported lost.
Otherwise the region was calm and

Keynote Prayer and Mourning.
Rumanians and foreigners arriv-
ing in Bucharest from Transylvania
described many mass demonstra-
tions whose keynote seems to be
one of prayer and mourning rather
than the fury of revolt. AS one for
eigner told me, "the people who
might make trouble are too busy
packing to get away before the
HUngarians come"
Thousands of persons are moving
south in an orderly fashion and
every road and train from Northern
Pennsylvania is crowded with refu-
gees. Obviously an incident might
occur anywhere at any time be-
cause this area is one of Europe's s
tinderboXes, but the Rumanians are
forced to recognize that there is no
possibility to organize resistance.
Thus many reports from the Bes-
sarabian border say that everything
is quiet there, but the exodus of
prosperous citizens continues.
Bucharest is calm. However, pa
trolls of troops are much in evidence.
saw Saturdays demonstration,
which seemed to have been exag-
gerated abroad. The crowds were
small, never appeared threatening
and on one or two occasions were
quickly dispersed.
Country Is Stunned.
The country is stunned and dis
heartened, but there are signs-for
instance an editorial in yesterdays
Curentul-that sooner or later
reckoning will be demanded from
those responsible for the political
errors which led to disaster.
Meanwhile the Bulgarians have
raised their voices and are demand
ing the evacuation OF Dcbruia as
rapidly as that of Pennsylvania.
This they are unlikely tc obtain.
The opinion here is that Chan
cellor Hitler's guarantee may be
more than a straw for a drowning
man to clutch This is due not per-
haps to implicit faith in Hitler, but
to the belief that his amour propre
won't allow him to be compared with
France and Great Britain, whose
guarantees to Rumania were vain.

Atlantic emergency which stirred
us to the burst of immense prepara-
tions when we saw the Nazis max
ing almost as swift conquest of
the Low Countries and France as Of
Poland.
Neutral military observers, who
have been over the ground as guests
of the German staff, did not con-
clude that the German was a won-
der army which wrought military
miracle. Chancellor Hitler got an
astounding break in his favor in
the tragic military blunder of the
French high command, which per-
mitted the thrust across the Meuse
River. The Germans had an all
but free swing in the air, with roads
open for tanks and infantry-laden
trucks for only $50 miles to isolate
the Allied armies in Flanders.
The French armies south of the
resultant gap lost all contact in an
amazingly disorganized retreat. In
Flanders, after the Germans broke
through the Belgian fortress system,
they had only 100 miles to 60 to
the English Channel ports. Not only
the fear-tsricken refugees, but the
confusion of the Belgian Army,
which lacked munition trains and
commissariat, hamstrung co-ordi-
nate resistance
While we thrilled over the gallant
audacity and skill OF the British
Navy in protecting the evacuation
OF the British Army from Dunkerque,
we did not realize, as it is known
now, how the British Army in its
retreat held off the attacks of four
times its numbers. So did some
French groups, which fought in the
Marne and Verdun spirit.
No Reason for Fright.
Consequently. there is no reason
why we should be scared or over
impressed by German might, as
touched by some kind of helliSh
totalitarian magic. The mettle of
the victorious German divisions is
no better than that OF those we met
in France in the Worlo War.

To Launch Attack
BY COL. FREDERICK PALMER.

NEW YORK, July u (NANAD.
Whence and in what strength will
any attack on us come? Where will
it hit us? How much time have we
to prepare for it? Will our impa-
tience for speed in our vast prep
arations defeat the very object for
which we are striving?
These questions are suggested by
one who Is for a two-ocean Navy
and the selective service bill. He
is not worried when he reads that
the Soviets are reported as fortify-
ing a little island in the Bering
Straits. Russia does not plan an
invasion of Alaska on the way
through roadless Arctic expanses of
mountain and forest to Oregon
across the Peace River Valley and
the plains of Manitoba to Mime
sofa. She is not going to try to
pass by the Japanese Army and the
superior japanese Navy when she
has only a few patrol boats and
some submarines in Far Eastern
waters.
Japan will not turn her back on
China, where her army is fully oc-
cupied, and send her navy in bel
ligerent challenge to our side of the
Pacific when she has much more ac-
cessible plunder in French Indo-
China and parts of the British EN-
pore, should it be dismembered.

Secretary Perkins
Names Supervisors
OF Safety Program
Plan Will Seek to Reduce
Delays in Production
In Defense Work

Secretary of Labor Perkins yester-
day appointed eight industrial eX-
perts to supervise safety program
in the defense industries. Each eX-
pert will direct the work in deSig-
mated geographical region.
The program in Region 2, which
includes Maryland, Delaware, New
Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania and
New York, will be in charge of E. G.
Quesnel, director of safety, the Bor-
den Co., New York The work in
Region 3, which covers Virginia,

benefits Secretary Perkins said.
Upon the awarding of a Govern
ment contract, the plant manage
ment will be notified of his general

duction through the Inauguration of
a safety program, and of the avail
ability of safety specialist in his
OWN community ready and willing to
act as his safety adviser. The re-
gional representative of the national
committee. at the same time, will be
given the name and location of the
contractor and he in turn will i'm
mediately assign a district or local
committee member as suitable
plant contact man.
The man assigned will volun-
teer to assist the management in the
organization of a safety program.
and shop safety committees. in the
creation OF training program, will
volunteer to make an appraisal of
physical hazards and submit infor-
nation on their correction and in
other ways act as continuous adviser

Conservation of Man Power in De-
fense Industries The membership
will include safety experts from
private industry, executives from the
national and local safety councils,
labor officials and State officials
administering laws relating to safe
and healthful work conditions. This
group will meet at regular intervals
in washington to establish policies
and procedures, to analyze results
and to develop promotional, instruc-
tional and technical information.
