| Toxic Embassy
Chauffeur Freed
| BY D. G. Police

A man booked by police as John
Joseph Long, 80, of 1920. Twenty
first street NV, and listed as a
chauffeur at the japanese Embassy,
was arrested on a drunkenness
charge when he attempted to drive
an Embassy car out of the Embassy
grounds early today.
He was held at the Thirteenth
precinct police station for several
hours over his protests of diplomatic
immunity, being released at 8 am.
after posting $25 on the charge.
Acting Police Capt. Charles Weber
said latef that the $25 would be re-
turned to Long and the case nolle
pressed when he appears in court
tomorrow morning. A State De-
partment oficial consulted with
Capt. Weber after Longs release on
bond this morning.
Under normal procedure diplo-
matte immunity makes any employees
of a foreign embassy immune from
prosecution in American courts.
Presumably this principle was be-
ing applied in the Long case, despite
the war with Japan.

Rumors Of Nazi
War on u. ).
Heard by Hull
Declares Nation Is
On Guard Against
Surprises in Atlantic
By GARNETT d. HORNER.

Secretary of State Hull said today
he had received rumors that Ger
many would declare war on the
United States today and declared
this country is on guard against
surprises in the Atlantic.
The Secretary emphasized that
he had no definite information con-
corning Germany's intentions, ex-
planning at press conference that
he had received only about the
same type of reports as have ap-
peared in newspapers here.
He emphasized, however, that this
Nation naturally should be always
on guard against surprise move
ments, especially now when inter-
national desperadoes are loose in the
world.
Mr.. Hull said he had no confrma-
ton of reports that the American
Embassy staff in Germany already
had been removed from Berlin. He
gave no indication of any extraordi-
nary steps pertaining to the Ger
man Embassy here.
No Fear Of Outcome.
JapanS treacherous attack has 50
aroused the spirit of the American
people to put forth a speedy and
mighty battle against the Japanese,
the Secretary declared. that no
American need fear the outcome of
the war.
He indicated that an inter-Amer-
ican conference would be held soon
to organize the whole Western Hem
Sphere for war cooperation in the
spirit Of a resolution adopted at
Havana last year providing that an
attack against any American nation
should be considered an act Of
aggression against all the 81 Amer
ican republics.
Evidence Of United Front.
War declarations already an
nounced by several of the Latin
American governments in support
OF this country show they are wide
awake to the increasing danger to
the Western Hemisphere and are
moving without delay to present
a united front against the enemy,
said Mr.. Hull.
The Secretary refused to answer
questions about Russia's attitude
toward the new war in the Pacific,
telling his press conference that
he was not able to 60 into that
subject at this time.
