interned.
 This report is now a matter of record at Red Gross headquarters in Geneva.
 At present 166 persons are in- termed at Bonaire, including 95 men, 55 women and 16 children.
 Children stay with their mothers in small houses segregated from the mems camp. There are daily visit ing hours between the two camps. There is large playground for the children and a beach where all may go swimming.
 Numbers at Bonaire have been considerably reduced since transfer of some 220 officers and sailors to "an English island in the West In- dies"
 All policing of the Bonaire camp is done by Dutch constabulary and soldiers. There is no policing by English troops, as reported. "WE MUST BE
 VIGILANT' Altogether about 130 Nad "sus- poets" have been questioned in the Netherlands West Indies since inva- sion of the Low Countries. Of these, about 25 have been interned.
 The government inspectorate with headquarters at Willemstad, the ca pital, is keeping sharp eye for sa- boteurs.

|ECAN RECALLED
 FOR DUTY HERE
Will Assume Command of Battery G; Gov. Baldwin
 Named Captain

Further changes in the personnel of the local units of the national guard were announced yesterday, with the promotion of Lieut.. Grover c. Baldwin to the rank of captain, and the recall of Lieut.. John J.l Egan from active service at Langley Field, Va, where he was sent ten days ago by the high command.
 Captain Baldwin received his pro- motion, and assignment to the com- mand of Battery E. 208th coast artillery, anti-aircraft, fro mthe ad- jutant general, Brig. Gen. Reginald B. DeLacour, in Hartford, yesterday. He has been an officer of the guard for several years, but on the in- active reserve list since his resigna- tlon two years ago. Now he has been recalled to active duty in con- junction with the organization of anti-aircraft units of national de- fenSe.
 Lieut.. Egan, whose status seems to have been something of 8 puzzle even to the army authorities, has been appointed 8 first lieutenant of the guard, and will command Bat tery G when it is fully recruited. The lieutenant will give up his con- nection with the organized re- serves in order to obtain 8 perman- ent post with the national guard. He will attend course in coast artillery at Fortress Monroe, Va, beginning at the end of this month.
 Thirty-five vacancies still remain in Battery G, it was announced last evening. The equipment for the members of Battery E, which has now received federal recognition, has not yet arrived, but is expected any day now. A drill in civilian clothes was held at the armory last night.
 A successor to the late Brig. Gen. James A. Haggerty, in command of the 18th infantry brigade has not yet been appointed, but it is thought likely that the post will be given to Col. Otto H. Schroeter of Barkham- Sted, who is at present commander of the 192nd field artillery of the 43d division. If he passes the physi- cal test required and an>examina- tion before a military board, he will be promoted to the rank of briga- dier general, and will command the 102nd infantry, consisting of units in the Naueatuck valley, and the 169th regiment of Hartford. Col. Schroeter has long and excellent record of military service, back to 1909.

Teachers Refusal 10 Testify
AT Red Quiz 10 Be Probed
BY the Associated Press.

ps luc hSsOCldteu fEcSS.
NEW YORK, Dec. 7.-Twenty- five
college teachers now facing con-
tempt proceedings for refusing to
testify at legislative inquiry into
Communist activities in the city
schools will be investigated by the
Board of Higher Education.
Board Chairman Ordway Tead
was authorized yesterday to request
from the corporation counsel "an
opinion of the powers of the board
in respect to such refusal to testify"
The board also asked for the Legis-
lative Committees minutes relating
to the teachers refusal to testify.
The teachers contended that the
one-man private hearings were il
legal.
In public hearings earlier this
week, the committee heard testimony
that nine Brooklyn College faculty
members and three other teachers
were active workers in the Com
munist party both on and off the
campus. Ten of these have denied
the accusation.
Meanwhile, at Binghamton, N. Y,
Thomas j. Mangan, chancellor of
the State Regent Board, placed the
responsibility for ousting any Com
munist forces from the city schools
on Mayor F. H. La Guardia and the
Boards of Education and Higher
Education.
Mayor La Guardia declined to dis
cuSS the matter.
