yesterday third party could have
only a negative result" on their
plan.
II don't think" Mr.. Hendricks
asserted, "the dynamic John L.
Lewis or the conservative Senator
Burton K. Wheeler could lead any
third party to victory. -. Let us
go to districts where the Townsend
organization has the balance of DOW
er. Let us elect representatives who

Mr.. Lewis, c. I. o. leader. and
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon

Most outspoken advocate of a

he had told the convention that he
favored joining with Union labor II

British Seizure Of

Every Patriotic American

Says Nevada Senator

BY the Associated Press.
Chairman Pittman Of the Sen
ate Foreign Relations Committee
asserted today that patriotic Ameri-
cans would applaud" British seiz-
ure Of French warships.
j. The fate of the French fleet has
been of concern here because of
the possibility that it might be
combined with German and Italian
fleets into force capable of chal-
lenging American naval power.
Every patriotic American citizen
will applaud Churchill (Winston
Churchill, British Prime Minister)
upon his wisdom and courage in
preventing the use of the French
Navy by Hitler" Senator Pittman
said.
1T was the fear that this step
would not be taken in time that
shook the confidence of some as to
the power of the British to defend
themselves long against an attack
by Hitler. I am sure that every
member of the United States Senate
would applaud Churchills act"
. Senator King, Democrot, of Utah
also voiced his applause. Be-
lieving that the German powers
aim at control of South America,
Mr.. King said that anything
that strengthens Britain's hand
strengthens ours"
Disposition of the French fleet, it
was learned, was the subject of q
lengthy discussion between the
naval high command and members
of the Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee in secret session Wednesday
before the committee approved a
bill calling for 10 per cent in
crease in the size of the Navys
fighting fleet.
At that time naval officials were
reported to have told committee
members that the possibility that
a part of the French fleet might
fall into German hands made it
more imperative than ever that the
United States start the immediate
construction of two-ocean navy.

Three Bund Leaders
Are Freed on Bail
After Night in Jail
Charged With Ineiting
Hatred Under 1885
New Jersey Law
~ the Associated Press.


NEWTON, N. j., July 5.-Three
German American Bund leaders
were released today in $1,000 bail
each on charges of melting racial
and religious hatred. Bail was fur
nished by Gustav Elmer, National
Bund treasurer.
G. Wilhelm KunZe, acting ma
tional leader of the bund; August
Klapprott, camp manager and pres
ident of the New Jersey bund, and
Matthias Kohler, bund officer and
trustee, had been arrested yesterday
at an Independence Day rally at
the bund's Camp Nordland, in And
over Township.
Held Overnight.
They were held overnight at the
Sussex County Jail and before
being released this morning were
questioned by Detectives William
Kunz and Joseph Bonanno of the
New York City Police Department
alien squad in connection with the
bombing at the Worlds Fair yes
terday. The detectives said it was
SuSG routine cneCk.
Asked about the detectives visit,
Police Commissioner Lewis j. VAL
entine said in New York he wouldn't t
discuss the matter "for obvious
reasons"
The bail, accepted by County
Clerk Arthur Wilcox, had been re-
fused yesterday because Mr.. Wilcox
was out of town.
Based on 1885 Law.
The warrants for the arrest of the
three, based on a 1885 New Jersey
statute, charged they permitted an

Bail Money Refused.
Some 1000 of the 1000 who re-
manned at the camp following the
arrests "chipped in" the necessary
$4,000 bail yesterday, but Justice of
the Peace Charles Van Ness refused
to accept the money because a two
hour deadline set for raising the
cash had expired.
Later, Common Pleas Judge John
c. Losey said he would accept bail
today.
The bund members, apparently
shocked by the arrests, called off
scheduled speeches which were to
have featured opening of the camps
summer season. Attorney Wilbur v.
Keegan, however, said he welcomed
an opportunity to show up" the
New Jersey law as unconstitutional.
