Japan'S Refusal To Permit
Americans To Leave Island
Met With Sharp Retaliation
sRy Assoe.asea Prsss,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. -
Sharp retaliation for Japan's re-
fusal to permit American citizens
to leave the island empire today
appeared in prospect as state de-
partment officials said they are
satisfied with the japanese ex-
PLANTATION.
Japan's refusal to permit the
liner President Coolidge to dock
at a japanese port is believed to
have caused particular resent
ment on the part of Secretary of
State Cordell Hull.
Responding to American pro-
tests, the japanese announced
that they will not permit the
United States citizens to leave
unless they are picked up by a
ship sent for that purpose from
the United States, and that even
if such a ship is sent, the japanese
government will examine the
case of each of those wishing to
leave
Tokyo has contended that the
United States has no reason for
wishing the withdrawal of the en-
tire American colony in Japan.
Originally, the japanese contend,
the United States asked only that
% officials be permitted to leave,
and subsequent efforts to remove
all Americans from Japan con-
stitute breach of faith
State department spokesman
said they have no idea what form
American retaliation might take,
but they admit the situation is
dangerous.

Andrew Meiack NOM Instructor In United States Army
EXCITING SERVICE in FOREIGN LEGION
Especial 80 The Citizen,

I ION mad been sent up aEead or
the advancing French Army
where they contacted an Arab
force several times its own
strength. For two days, the
Arabs beseiged the French forces
who were finally reduced to their
last five rounds of ammunition.
Mejack's commanding officer had
given the order to adjust bay
onets for nd-to-hand fighting
against the vastly superior forces
of the enemy when six battalions
of Legionnaires arrived on the
scene of battle to rescue their be-
leagured unit. The battle sight
| is now French outpost--Jeoel-
ESTES.
After two and a half years in
the infantry, Mejack was trans
ferred to a reconnaissance cav
airy troop in which he saw serv-
ice in the farthest reaches of
Africa. The troop was constant
/ ly ON the move, never stopping
for more than "a hours in any
one place.
From Morocco, Mejack was
sent to the Saraha Desert where
he served with the Legion's
crack Regiment de March. He
| was stationed at Colomb-B echar,
/ 800 miles from Sidi-bel-Abbes.
/ but his unit covered the entire
territory, sometimes advancing
as far as 1,500 miles from its
home base.

gion's most remote outpost 1900
miles from Colomb- Bechar, that
Mejack had another closeup of

soldiers stationed there to pro-

of Arabs. During the assault,
which came at night, the conn
manding officer and eight of the
12-man machine gun squad were
killed. Some of the Arabs broke
| through the Legion defenses and
engaged the defenders in fierce
hand-to-hand fighting that was
made more treacherous by the
blackness of the night which
| forced the French soldiers to
hold their bayonets until they
were close enough to distinguish
| friend from foe by the only iden-
| tifying mark, their uniforms.
During the fight, Mejack en-
gagged in a fierce hand-to-hand
battle with an Arab, finally kill

rifle. The Legionnaires finally
beat off the attack but not be-
fore they had suffered numerous
casualties.
Mejack's tales of the torture
inflicted on hapless Legionnaires

unbelievable. When captured,
they are turned over to the WON

Silverberg, in letter to Cover
nor Holland. charged the car
penters' union with threatening
to call a strike if the company did
not discharge him, as he had no
work permit.
The union leaders, he declared,
told him he was finished" in Key
West, and refused to adjust the
matter after workmen under Sill
verberg had signed a petition in
which they said the charges were
untrue.
Silverberg, in his letter to Gov
ernor Holland, charged the union
with obstructing construction
work here through unreasonable
acts. The complaint against him,
he said, was based on the ac-
cusation that he hurried the
workmen and used laborers to do
carpenters work. Silverberg de-
MED both charges.
Forced Into Union
In order to work on the job,
Silverberg said he was compelled
to join the union, and since his
employment as superintendent,
he paid the union SIS weekly for a
permit, which was paid up until
Aug. II, when Clarence Higgs,
business agent of the union, re-
fused to grant him permission to
continue working on the job.
Higgs told him, Silverberg said,
that there had been complaints
against him by the carpenters, and
that he would not be permitted TO
continue his work.
After Higgs had refused to
grant him a permit, Silverberg
said the company transferred him
to the post of expediter, where he
would not be in direct contact
with the carpenters. Due to UNI
desirable working conditions, the
superintendent said it was tim-
possible to execute his duties un-
der such terrific mental strain. "
Appealed To FIJI
Repeatedly warned by work
men with whom he was ac-
quainted that he might be sub
jected to violence if he did not
leave Key West, Silverberg said
he went to Miami Thursday to APP
peal to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and returned here to-
day, appealing to the navy de-
partment
AS result Of his conversation
with navy officers, Silverberg
wrote his letter to Governor Hol-
land

nor, but in the interests of ma
tional defense and of American
ism, do feel that there should
