 The Los Angeles area contains one of the largest concentrations of defense work in the country. One reason for the D-men's fear was their discovery of secret mailing list of 2500 names in a raid on the Los Angeles head quarters of the German American Bund. Herman Schwinn, West Coast Bund fuehrer, under ques- tioning, that the list consisted of Nazi sympathizers who regularly attended Bund meetings.
 A check-up of the names re- vealed the startling fact that 800 of them are employed in airplane plants, shipyards, oil refineries, auto factories and other key de- fense industries.
 One of the thickest dossiers in the Dies committee files concerns Schwinn and his activities, dating back to 1924, when he entered the country as a German immigrant. Among the items in his long re- cord is an account of an extra ordinary speech Schwinn made re- gently to Bundists in Hindenburg Park, Los Angeles.
 Shrieking defiance against a federal court order revOking his citizenship, Schwinn is recorded as saying, "As long as I have voice and a mike, I will damn we'll say what please. The per- sccutiOnS I have gone through in this country have made me better German than I was be- fore. They cannot stop up think ing, and feeling here is becOm- ing stronger for Germany every day.
 There will be a new world order guaranteed by Germany, Italy and Japan, and the new order will come whether Chur- chill and Roosevelt like it or nOt.'
 EXIT JOE KENNEDY
 IntimateS of Ambassador Joe Kennedy are offering bets that he will not return to the Court of St. James'S.
 They are not taking much chance of losing money, for while publicly Joe has expressed his willingness to go back, the inside fact is that Kennedy tried to re- sign at his last conference with the President. Roosevelt firmly refused to consider it.
 "Who could I send over in your place, Joe?" he protested.
 Kennedy contended that he wasn't needed in London. "Judg- ing by the amount of work turned in during the last two months over there," he argued, "Pd say almost anyone could qualify for the job. You know like to keep busy, but all I did over there was to sit around and watch the war;"
 But Roosevelt rejected this ar- gument and insisted that Ken nedy think it over flor a couple of weeks. From his private re- marks since then, Kennedy still seems determined to quit.
 Several very tempting business offers have been made to him; one from a large newspaper chain which he helped refinance several years ago. He has made no final decision, but returning to London definitely seems the last thing he intends to do.

Neutrality Aims of
Country Explained
By BOnesco

Rumania desires strict neutrality,
but not at the expense of being
"anybody's bakery or filling station"
George Bonesco, financial coun-
selor of the Rumanian Legation,
told the local branch OF the Ameri-
can Association of University Wom-
en- at a tea yesterday.
Mr.. Bonesco, who has been finan-
cial counselor of the Legation here
for the last 13 years and was in
London before that time, declared,
"it is on the ability of the neutrals,
large and small, to preserve their
neutrality that depends the ques-
ton Of whether this conflict will
remain confined to the present bel
hgerents. or whether it will develop
into a world upheaval, the conse-
quences Of which no one can pre-
dict"
The counselor spoke OF Rumania
AS country with balanced
budget. a favorable trade balance
and with all her neighbors except
Yugoslavia claiming something from
her.
The Balkan countries, Mr.. Bonesco
said, have been living at peace with
one another for some time and have
emphasized their determination no
longer to permit themselves to be
played one against the other in
the chess game of the great powers
of Europe"
Supplementing Mr.. Bonesco's
statements with remarks from the
floor, Mile. Wena A. Naoumoff, sis
ter Of the Bulgarian Minister and
a member of the club, agreed with
the Rumanian Counselor in his
analysis OF the present position of
the Balkan states.
Mile. Naoumoff, whose attend
ance was merely that of a member,
proved extremely interesting in her
statements and her clear delnea-
ton of her nations attitude toward
the present conflict in Europe.
Mrs. John Donaldson, Interna-
tional Relations Committee chair
man, introduced the speakers and
presided.

tween the rates in effect in the
District Of Columbia and those Of
fered to the county government,

& Simpson, board counsel.
The attorneys advised Mr.. Hamp-
ton that information received from
John D. Hamilton, head of a Bal
timore utility engineering firm, who
made the reassessment of utility
properties last fall. showed that
the P. E. P. Co. gave the same rate
to residential and commercial Gus
toners in the District and the

ipal services varied by as much as

WALLACE - Sunshine Mining
Company has installed at a cost Of
about 100000 an entirely new
ventilation system at its mine in the
Occur d'Alene district of Idaho.
The former system was dependent
on old stope raises for air passages,
which were extremely difficult to
maintain. To eliminate this con-
slant source of expense and trouble.
and to provide large airways Of
sufficient area to permit the pas
sage of a large volume of air with
minimum friction, a new system
involving 5000 feet of raising and
200 feet of prosecuting is now
nearing completion. and should be
finished by April. These raises
will be equipped with steel safety
ladders, thus affording a continuous
emergency exit from the lower
levels.
In order to provide the increased
volume Of air made possible by the
new system, the company has in
