Sovie+-German tension Overshadows

BY UNITED PRESS

Crcumsanta reports of Soviet German tension,
pied with Naz-inspred reports that diplomatic break
between the United States and Vchy governments
overshadowed all actual hOsttes the war fronts
Imperial Valley press., 1941-06-19

The German controlled Paris
press rZrorted that the United
States and Vichy governments will
soon break off diplomatic relations
1t followed with a statement that
the break will be followed, pre-
sumably, by American seizure Of
French possessions in the Western
Hemisphere.
American hostility toward the
Vichy government because of its
pro-Nazi leanings, was cited as the
reason for the assertedly impend-
ing break.
Meanwhile Scandinavian sources
reported Russian reserves are being
called up for military service and
wide-scale evacuation of children
from Soviet cities to the country
side is under way.
Moscow dispatches described the
city as calm with activity normal
and Berlin declined to clarity the
actual state of Russo-German re-
lations beyond admitting that an
actual flood of rumors is pouring
from Europe.
In both Finland and Rumania-
likely scenes of action in any Rus
so-German war = civilian precau-
tions were actively under way and
in Finland reserve troops were be-
ing summoned for duty.

RUMORS UNCONFIRMED

A widely circulated rumor, ap-
parently of Turkish origin, that
border clashes actually had oc-
CURED on the Bessarabian frontier
was without confirmation in Ber-
lin, Bucharest or Moscow.
There still was no authoritative
explanation of factors underlying
the vast Nazi nerve war against
Russia-as reported by foreign
quarters - but it seemed obvious
that the Reich desires concessions
from the Soviet of such magnitude
as to require exceedingly great
pressure, and apparently, to inspire
unusually stubborn resistance by
Moscow.

Increase in u. ). Share
OF Security Taxes
Seen by Official
Get ] Pct. Of Employer
Pay Rolls, States z Pet.
Thinks Government Will
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HERSHEY. Pa, Feb. 14.--George
E. Bigge. member of the Social Sc
curity Board, said today the Federal
Government share of the per
cent employer pay roll tax might
soon be increased from 03 per cent
to l per cent and the States share
reduced from 81 per cent to per
cent.
This, he told a conference of en-
ployment security agencies of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Delaware, was strictly an unofficial
opinion, but seemed to him to sum
up numerous proposed changes in
the unemployment compensation
framework.
This suggestion" he said. "is that
the present 3 per cent Federal tax
be retained and a per cent Offset
for State taxes be allowed instead
of the present 2.7 per cent. so that
the Federal Government would COL
lect l per cent Of pay rolls for
purposes of unemployment compen-
sation Gnstead of the present o3
per cent?.
This would be deposited in a
special fund from which with
drawals would be made to cover
grants to the States both for ad-
ministration and for benefit pay
ments above certain rate. The
States would thus have a basic
per cent tax rate instead of 27 per
cent. When cost rose above per
cent of pay rolls in any State, it
is suggested that the Federal Gov
ernment pay three-fourths of the
excess cost"
Mr.. Bigge said the effect would
be to create a Federal pool" or
fund upon which States could draw
whenever their 2 per cent of the
tax did not provide enough money
to meet unemployment insurance
claims.
He referred to the Federal ! per
cent as an equalization fee" "
equalizing the national cost between
States with heavy and light claims.
With reserves in some States
down to one years benefits, he
said, the problem of increasing the
funds must be faced in the very
near future.

Investment Adviser
Returned in Handouts
BY TIE Associated Press,

By TIE Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA. Feb. l4.-Hand-
cuffed between two detectives. Robert
j. Boltz was returned from Roches-
ter. N. Y, today to answer fraud
charges in connection with an in
vestment business, in which au-
thorities say clients lost $4,000, 900.
The 54-year-old socially prom
inent investment counsellor, known
among associates as Honest Bob
Boltz, was arrested on Rochester
street yesterday after 16-week
search and was turned over to two
Philadelphia detectives there last
night.
The detectives said Boltz was
handcuffed because they had re-
ceived reports that United States
marshals might meet them at the
station and make an effort to take
Boltz into Federal custody to face
Federal charges first.
Assistant District Attorney Frank
lin E. Barr said Boltz would not
have to be arraigned since he had
been indicted by a Pennsylvania
grand jury on charges of embez-
Element and fraudulent conversion.
The State could go ahead immedi-
ately with the trial, he added.
The financial adviser also is under
Federal indictment charging he de-
frauded 20 clients of $892, 900.
1t was not known Immediately,
however, in what court Boltz would
be tried.

Mr.. Federoff, who termed the

claimed the right to name. Mr..
Federoff said he now was able to
act only for those employees who
were willing to return to work un-
der those terms of the contract.

Netherlands Indies
OutwordIy Calm

BATAVIA, Netherlands Indies,
Feb. IA (Pl.--OutWardly, these Dutch
possessions in the Pacific reacted
calmly to reports of an impending
Japanese southwark thrust.
Some activity was apparent in Of
ficial quarters. but on all sides it was
insisted that nothing unusual is
happening" There was no evidence
of extraordinary military or naval
measures.
Despite the surface calm. observ-
ers saw considerable significance in
the reiterated advice by the United
States that her nationals go home,
the reported massing of British
troops on Malayan frontiers and the
sudden return Of Sir Robert Brooke
Popham, British Far Eastern COM
mander, to Singapore from Aus
tralian defense conferences.
Economic negotiations are con-
tinuing between Japan and the
Netherlands Indies, but so far there
have been no concrete develop
ments.
Both President Roosevelt and
Secretary of State Hull have cau-
toned Japan against any change
in the status quo in the Pacific.
The United States especially is in
terested in what happens to the
rich Dutch Archipelago, which pro-
vides the bulk of American tin
and rubber supplies and where
Americans have $4,000, 900 Of in
vestments.
The East Indies has only small
land, air and naval forces. but her
military authorities have declared
they could hold their own for a
while against an invader.
The commander in chief of the
Netherlands Indies Navy announced
last November that enlargement
of the works at the Soerabaja naval
base, on Java's northern coast. was
continuing and indicated the base
would be large enough to accommo-
date capital ships.
The Netherlands two largest
warships are 8.350-ton cruisers,
based in the East Indies. Since
there are no battleships the naval
chiefs announcement might indi-
cate the Indies had in mind the
accommodation Of British capital
ships.
Although the size of the East In

closed. it has been strengthened by
the addition Of planes purchased in

tured Italian corps commander. as
blaming Gen. Tellera for the final
Italian rout at Bengasi.

vised the immediate evacuation of
Bengasi, but that Tellera believed
there was adequate time for a re-
treat and decided to wait another
"a hours, during which time the
British struck.
