Paris to employ every means that
these attacks, which cause indigna-

go unpunished," was disclosed today
in the Paris press.
The fact that the slain officer, a
Capt. Scheben. was given an official
funeral yesterday at Madeleine
Church in the center of the occu-
pied capital, indicated the Ger
mans attached considerable i'm
portanCe to the attack.
The press account of the funeral
disclosing that the captain was
shot last Tuesday, was the first dis
closure that a commissioned officer
had been killed in disorders about
that time.
IL Shot Last Saturday.
It had been known that a non
commissioned officer was fatally shot
Monday night and it was previously
presumed that it was for the death
of the non- commissioned man that
the Germans shot IL hostages at
Paris last Saturday.

A blunt threat to use German

There still are enough German SOL

Hall Favors Repeal
Or Modification Of
Neutrality Law
Secretary Rops Measure
And Says Executive Needs
Freedom of Action
By GARNETT ID. HORNER.

Secretary Of State Hull indicated
today that he favored immediate
repeal or medication of the Neu-
trality Act which now bans the
arming of American merchant ships
and prohibits them from travelling
in specified combat areas.
The Secretary said, however, that
he would not undertake to predict
what action might be taken about
what he termed "the so-called Neu-
trality Act" without conferring fur
ther with members of both Houses
of Congress.
Wants Executive Freedom.
He made clear at a press confer
ence his disapproval of the acts re-
strictions, remarking that ever since
its passage in 1885 both he and
President Roosevelt had felt that
it was as likely to get the United
States into war as 10 keep it out.
Mr.. Hull said the administration
had merely accepted what was nee
essary to accept from Congress in
the way of neutrality legislation,
indicating that he believes the eX-
ecutive branch should have freedom
of action in international affairs.
The Secretarys comment came
in response to questions about Cap
itol reports that the administration
planned soon to ask for repeal or
modification of the act. Asked If
the State Department was giving
active consideration to repeal, Mr..
Hull said consideration was being
given to all matters the act deal
with.
Russian Situation.
When asked if the Lease-Lend
Act did not in itself nullify the
Neutrality Act in part, the Secretary
emphasized that the Lease-Lend
Act is based primarily on the doc
trine OF self-defense, remarking
that it finds a way to 60 farther as
the necessities of self-defense in
crease.
The Secretary also was asked If he
believed there was undue pesslmlsm
generally over the Russian situation.
He replied that if the Russians were
judged by their fighting, one would
not know there was any pesslmlsm,
over there at least.
