INazi ConsuIs on
Japanese Vessels
Go at Own Risk

WASHINGTON, July 9. (UP)-
Officials said today that ousted Ger
man and Italian consular agents
who choose to return to their home
lands on ships other than the vessel
provided by the United States tray
el at their own risk.
The comment followed reports
that Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, Ger
man consul general at San Fran
cisco. and six members of his staff.
planned to leave for Germany Sun
day on the japanese liner Yawata
Maru.
Great Britain previously had as
sured the Axis consular agents safe
conduct to Lisbon on the American
transport ship West Point, the for
mer luxury liner America, which
sails from New York July 10.
State department officials said
there was nothing to compel Wide
mann and his staff to return aboard
the West Point They pointed out
however, that the British have guar
anteed the West Point will not be
stopped but there are no assurances
as to the safety of the agents who
return by way of Japan.
With the exception of Wiedemann
and his staff, it appeared that all
other Germans and Italians expell-
ed, would take advantage of the
United States offer to return aboard
the West Point.

Sen. Burton K. WHEELER. D., Mont

In war
This was his answer TO White
House charges that he permitted
leak of military information

an administration attempt Ito get
us into shooting war
Wheeler said last week that Am
erican forces would occupy Iceland
beginning about July %. White
House Secretary Stephen T. Early
yesterday criticized Wheeler for
having revealed that the move was
imminent. President Roosevelt said
the Wheeler case speaks for itself.
Sens. c. Wayland Brooks. R. Ill,
and ID. Worth Clark, D, Ida, join
ed Wheeler in opposing occupation
of Iceland.
Brooks asserted that only vigor-
Gus protest from the people will
prevent full shooting participa-
ton" in the war. Recent actions
demonstrate, he said, that the ad-
ministration has been moving step
by step closer to the war, and now
we are on the last island"
Clark said we are being pushed
to the last outposts in the most
clever way"
The law of the land" he said,
''bans the use of troops outside the
western hemisphere, and we have
sent them to Iceland which is a
land we have never before consider

Ukraine had been smashed back
in disorderly flight to Rumania'
The Nazi reports spoke only OF
general gains in Bessarabia after re-
pulsing an enemy counter-attack.
3. The Russians indicated that
they were holding or fighting hard
on all other sectors of the front,
including the Bobruisk region where
another German spearhead is point

 0g. Smith, addressing Q gather 0g Of 128 beard members in the eohool library, stressed the fact that tAe united States as A9 nations as 4ae as education as concerned. To allAy any fears about federal inc esevention in the sphere of educas ton in Connecticut, the speaker exc plAined t.,at Until the constitution ot the Unied States ia amended there is no conceivable way in which the federal government can take charge of edudcatlon within the state, except with the consent of the state"
 Addressing hinSelf to the ques" ton whether education today Is 6 failure, Df. Smith asserted that there is no such thing As educa- tion, except as . composite of spe. cial educations, and after pointing Go the progress which has been made in various branches Of study, such as medicine and applied science, he said that any education must be viewed against the background of the eociety which produces it. lt Is this background today, rather than edilcatAond itself. which offers such confusion, he insisted.

Thomas P. Ashton, president of the Waterbury sc:lool board, intro- duced the mayor, and spoke brief. ly of the immense responsibility which rests upon educators sr these tumultuous times.
 The assembled board members ai- 90 heard Mrs. VAchel Lindsay Of the oxford school, Hartford, discuss "Wke and Unwise Progressivisnn, :" one Of the most disputed aspects Of educational policy today. She dis- counted the attempts of the pro- gressive school to follow the path of least resistance aS far as childrens Interest is concerned, in favor of the more fashioned idea that . sound education demands hard work and perseverance, frequently against the childS own inciinations.
 Discussions were held in several of the ciasSrooms in the high school on such topics as Education in the National Defense Crisis" School Finances and the Defense Program" :" Demands for Curriculum Changes" and The Trend in Public School Education" The members then on. joyed Q supper served in the school cafeteria by Miss Mary Y.

Among these services he listed the sending out of manual and monthly letters, consultation on specific problems confronting local boards, arranging of discussion groups and summer school, courses.
 pr. Smith, the principal speaker, stressed that 1t was the duty of lo- cal boards of education to ascertain the will of the people and to carry 1t out as far as education is concerned. We must realize today that freedom can be won and maintained only by obedience to majority will, he stated.
 Vocational instruction should be only 6 bridge between school and life, the former commissioner said, but should not exclude cultural studies. If we are forced to coneen- trate on preparation for industrial employment in these days, 1t should pe only a temporary sacrifice, pr. Smith asserted. The burden of ma. tional defense should not be shift ed to the younger generation, he concluded.
