release of Germans interned in the

IDENTITY expects to put pressure on the
Netherlands government. That this
is case of pure blackmail on the

fact that the Swiss government

Indies was told that better treat

interned in Germany as soon as the
government of the East Indies would
change its policy and comply with

Turkish Radio Takes
Sarcastic Anti-Axis Tone

ISTANBUL. Turkey, Nov q lP)-
The official Turkish radio took a
strongly sarcastic anti-axis tone last
night IN discussing Hungary'S ad-
herence to the German-Italian-
japanese alliance.
Shortly before the broadcast the
Turkish cabinet met in a one-hour
extraordinary session and later
Premier Refk Saydam addressed a
private meeting of parliamentary
committee
The radio predicted Rumania
would follow Hungary in signing up
with the axis. but asserted there is
still no sign that Bulgaria is going
to change her policy. 1t is true that
Bulgaria wishes certain territories,
but it is also true that Bulgaria does
not wish to lose entirely her indie
pendence. 1t seems Germany, recog-
nizing that the war will last long
time. is trying to build an anti-Eng-
lish bloc in the name of the new
order"
Some Istanbul streets were blacked
out last night for the first time since
the war began.

DR.. Mann Swaps Kea;
Gets Rid Of Black Sheep

Zoo Director William M Mann.
who has just sWapped a kea for a
touraco, got the best of the bargain
he hopes.
Anyhow, he got rid of the black
sheep of the parrot family and in
return received one of the gaudiest
cuckoos which ever came out of
Africa.
The kea is supposed by hearders
in New Zealand to kill sheep by
plunging Its bill into their fanks to
eat fat off their livers. This trait,
however, may be more of a supersti-
ton or prejudice than a fact.
The kea went to the Bronx Zoo to
be mated with female there. The
touraco has long tail, fine crest
and feathers of many hues. DR..
Mann likes touracos better than
keas and, besides, he has several
keaS.
