$50 Million Ready
To Fight for Liberty,
Volta Benes Says
Czech Tells of PIons
For Cooperation With
Poles and YueosIavs

Senator Volta Benes, brother OF
the provisional President of Czecho-
Slovakia, declared here yesterday
that fifth column 10000 strong
stands ready to strike the blow that
will crush the German war machine
! and win once again the peaceful
existence of the small nations OF
Europe.
This assertion, the tall, mus
tached DR.. Benes, called the Pau
Revere of Czecho-slovakia," made
in an interview at the Czecho-
Slovakian Legation.
The 10000 subjugated peoples
in the small nations of Europe
make up the biggest fifth column
in the German-dominated terri
tory" he said. They are prepared
to fight for their liberty when the
time comes"
Later, at combined meeting last
night of the Czech American Ma
tional Alliance, the Polish Club of
Washington and the YugoSlay
American Association, he said the
small nations must not depend
upon their own material strength,
but must be grouped together into
regional, economic blocs. He added
tnat the experience of the past
should point the way to the future,
and that CZecho-Slovakia, Poland
ana Yugoslavia must be the start
ing point for these unions, explain
ing that these three closely related
nations already are beginning to
create a new order as the only way
to lasting peace.
Other speakers on the program at
the combined meeting, held in
Pierce Hall at Fifteenth and Har-
varG streets NV, were DR.. Stanley
j. Kedzierski of the Polish Club of
Washington and Dr.. Bozidar Sa-
rich, secretary of the YugoSlav Le-
cation.
DR.. KedZierSki said there are many
clubs representing the three nations
named by DR.. Benes in the United
States which can show the way to
the homelandS by banding together.
DR.. Sarich declared that co-opera-
ton and unity are necessity among
the three nations, and added that
the Germans have made no secret
of their determination to enSlave
the Slovak people.
For the second time in his life,
DR.. Benes, now So, is fighting for
liberation of CZecho- -Slovakia. Twice
ne has been forced 10 flee his coun-
try. He was conscripted for duty
in the old Austrian army in the
first World War but managed to
escape to America, where he began
organizing the movement for liberia
ton of CZechs and Slovaks from
Austro- Hungarian domination.
The tragic news of the Munich
appeasement in 1888 caught him in
the midst of an active speaking tour
in the United States. Against the
warnings of his friends, he returned
to Czecho-Slovakia in December
1898, and witnessed the German
occupation the following March.
He saw the first people taken tc

of the country against air attack.
He will command all air bases, per-
sonnel, etc. The chief of the Air
Corps will have charge of all re-
search work. procurement, storage,

The War Department order also
set up The Air Council" to review
periodically and coordinate all ma
jor aviation projects of the Army.
1t will consist of the Assistant Sec
retary of War for Air, ex-oficio:
the chief of Army Air Forces, who
will be president of the council; the
chief of the War Plans Division,
General Staff; the chief Of the Air
Force Combat Command, the chief
of the Air Corps and such other
members as the Secretary of War
may appoint from time to time.

are only pro-Finnish and we viii
not fight for other interests"
The Finnish Legation said that
the only message received from Hell
sinki last night was "a most cate
gorical and strong denial of a re-
port published abroad that a Finn
ish radio station had hailed the
Nazis as liberators."
Constantine Oumansky. the So
Wet Ambassador here, could not be
reached for comment.
No Comment From British.
No immediate comment was avail
able from British doplimatic sources
but it was learned that Viscount
Halifax, the British Ambassador
was informed promptly and eagerly
awaited official reports.
The question of American aid to
Russia raised several knotty prob
lens.
UnderSecretary of State Sumner
Welles, asked at a press conference
last week whether Russia would
qualify for American lease-lend aid
in the event she became the victim
of aggression, turned the question
aside as hypothetical.
Extreme difficulties would exist
for the United States or Great
Britain to get any aid to Russia.
From this country. materials pre-
sumably would have to 60 via the
Pacific to the Russian port of
Vladivostok
Japans position in the new line
up thus became matter of in
creased importance.
The United States for several
months carried on negotiations with
Russia apparently intended to keep
relations on as friendly a basis as
possible.
These talks, largely concerned
with trade problems, were suspend
ed several weeks ago when the in
creaSing demand for materials
needed for national defense in this
country led to sharp curtailment
of exports to Russia
ConSlQeraDle SkepuclSm had been
evident here concerning the rumors
of an impending conflict between
the two nations whose surprise
agreement in August, 1899, immedi-
ately preceded the outbreak of the
European War.
Nevertheless. it was learned here
that London had taken the reports
seriously.
The German stroke against Rus
sia was regarded here as an explain
alton for the recent lull in German
air activity over the British Isles.
1t was assumed that Germany for
several weeks had been making in
tense military preparations along
eastern frontiers and thus had with
drawn aerial and other forces from
that battle against the British.

Protest Delays Action
On Nomination Of
jackson 10 Court
Attorney Hits Dismissal
Of II Accused of Signing
Recruits for Spain

Approval of Attorney General
Jackson's nomination for the Su-
preme Court was postponed yester-
day by subcommittee of the Sem
ate Judiciary Committee because
Maxwell M. Wallach, Detroit at
torney, protested against Mr.. Jack
sons dismissal of indictments
against II persons charged in De-
troit with recruiting Americans as
folders for the Spanish Republi-
cans. The action occurred last year.
Senator OMahogeny, Democrat. of
Wyoming. chairman of the SubCom-
mittee, said action on the nomi-
nation of Mr.. jackson would be
taken up tomorrow. Senator Norris,
Independent, of Nebraska defended
the dismissal of the indictments be-
fore the committee. Attorney Cen
eral jackson was nominated for the
seat left vacant by retirement of
Justice James Clark McReynolds.
Previously, another subcommittee
had approved without dissent the
nomination of Justice Harlan Fiske
Stone to be Chief Justice. This &C
ton was suggested by Senator Nor
ris after no witnesses appeared at
the hearing on Justice Stones pro-
motion.
Mr.. Wallach told the committee
that his son had been murdered"
in Spain by Communists now in
this country" while he was serving
with the Republican forces in Spain
during the Spanish civil war.
Mr.. WallaCh said Mr.. Jackson had
failed to prosecute charges against
Tony De Maio of Jersey City, N. j.
He said he could produce four eye
witnesses who saw my son brutally
murdered in Spain and who indl-
Gated that Tony De Maio, Com
munist, was the murderer
Mr.. Wallach said he previously
had told the story of his sons death
to the House Committee Inyesti-
eating Un-American Activities.
Il asked Attorney General Jack
son to read that testimony and act"
Mr.. Wallach said. DE Maio went
to France and Spain under an as
sumed name and false passport and
came back on false passport. All
I have asked is that he be prose-
cuted under some law
Senator Hughes, Democrat, OF
Delaware asked Mr.. Wallach why
he had not sworn out murder war
rant against De Maio. The lawyer
said it was his belief that such a
case could be brought only in Spain.
The witness said his son. Albert
M. Wallach, former Army Reserve.
officer, had been induced to volun-
teer to serve with the Spanish 10y
alists" and later was "brutally mur-
dered" in Castle de Fels, Spain.

House Chairman Approves.
For several months past the
War Department has been giving
serious consideration to a reorganl-
zation of the Air Corps in order to
make it as modern as the lnstru-
ment it uses" said Secretary Stlm-
son. He pointed out that under the
old setup the Army air arm was
divided into two parts, the G. H. q.
Air Force, comprising the tactical
and combat units and combat train
ing, and the Air Corps, which is
charged with basic and advanced
training of personnel, the procure
ment of materiel, maintenance, etc.
Coming as it did in the wake OF
renewed activity in many quarters
for the establishment Of an inde-
pendent air force under a secretary
of aviation, the War Department S
announcement was interpreted as
an effort to put to sleep the move
ment for an independent air force.
Chairman May of the House
Military Committee said the new
plan for the Army air arm was
entirely satisfactory to him. He
added:
Il do not believe that an inde-
pendent air force, under separate
department, would be wise"
Reynolds Open to Conviction.
Chairman Reynolds of the Senate
Military Committee, who recently
committed himself in favor of ali
independent air force, said if the
War Department could convince
him that its new plan was better,
he would be for it.
When Senator McCarran, Dem
ocrat, of Nevada recently intro
duced his bill for a department OF
aviation and had it referred to the
Military Committee, Senator Rey-
nolds said he would hold hearings
on it. He said yesterday he saw
no reason why these hearings
should not proceed. No time has
been set for them, however.
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia is the
author of a bill to establish a de-
partment of air defense. which

Should this situation continue
and if it becomes clear that for the
duration of the emergency buyer,
and consumers wish to carry larger
working stocks than in prior years,
it will be the policy of the depart
ment to increase quota supplies ac-
cordingly."
officials explained that increases
in quotas would have the effect of
increasing supplies and consequently
could be expected to have price
depressing effect on the market.

Pfeifer Presents
JUDGE JONATHAN JASPER WRIGHT
Attorney and sfufesmun

o JONATHAN WRIGHT for seven years Associate
Justice of the South Carolina Supreme Court,
born in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, in 1889. He
grew up in Montrose, where he earned money for
college education doing odd Jobs after school, Upon
graduation from Lancasterian University, Ithaca New
York, he took up law. He studied three years in
Pennsylvania law Offices, but when he applied for
admission to the Bar, he was refused examination
because of his color.
Unable to follow his chosen profession, Wright got
work through the American Missionary Society as a
teacher in Beaufort, South Carolina He returned to
Montrose again after several years TO demand bar
examination. This time the committee consented, and
