JAPANESE DOMEI
 AGENCY SPEAKS
United States, Her Allies Have Adopted Aggravat.
 ing Stand Against Japan
By ROBERT BELLAIRE

United Press Stan Correspondent
 Toyko, Nov. N-(Up)-The United States and her Allies have adopted 8 strong stand against Japan, which aggravates the situation in the Paci- fic, the Japanese Doinei News Agency said today, and terms handed to Japanese envoyS by Secretary of State Cordell Hull offer little hope of bringing the gap in Japanese American problems"
 Tn the most pessimlstic semi-offi- l. cial statement issued since Japan sent Saburo Kurusu as special envoy to Washington in 8 "last attempt" to preserve peace in the Pacific, Dornei said there is little room for prolonging" the Washington con- versations.
 'The Hull document indicates that the United States has come to a decision regarding negotiations" :" Domei said.
 Judging from circumstances, no optimistic views can be allowed. America and her Allies are adopting a strong stand against Japn, there by suggesting aggravation of the site uation."
 Domei said that reported British optimism regarding the outcome of Japanese-American conversations in Washington was merely evidence that the British hoped to maintain the status quo in the Pacific.
 'No charge in the Japanese-Am- erican situation will result from Hull's document" Domei said in indicating that terms offered by the United States for future Japanese American relations are not accep- table to Japan.
 The Domei comments marked the first semi-official expression of Ja- pans attitude towards Huns sug- gestions. The pessimistlc turn came here after Japanese observers ex- pressed hope that Hull had devised a formula which would prove acc ceptable to Japan ard result in easing of Approximation ten- sion.

High Court Admits WiIIkie
To Defend Communist

Wendell L. Willkie. 1910 Republi-
can nominee for President, was
admitted to practice yesterday be-
fore the Supreme Court, and will
argue, probably early next month,
the case Of William Schneiderman,
secretary Of the Communist Party
of California, who challenges two
Federal court decisions revoking his
citizenship.
Mr.. Schneiderman. a native Of
Russia, was naturalized in 1927. The
courts said that he concealed his
membership in the Communist
Party at that time. Mr. Willkie will
defend his client without fee.
The case is expected to decide
whether a foreign-born person is
eligible for citizenship when he is
an admitted member of the Com
munist Party. The case may also
decide the important question
whether the Communist Party advo-
Gates the overthrow of the United
States Government by force or

ExiIed Rumanian Envoy
Says People Oppose War

Rumanias declaration of war on
the United States was not the will
of the Rumanian people, but the de-
cree OF "dictatorial regime,
Charles A. Davila, former Rumanian
Minister to the United States, de-
clared today.
Since February 13. 1888, when the
Rumanian people were robbed OF
their constitutional rights, Mr.. Da-
villa said, they never had any posi-
bility of expressing their will
Indicating his belief that 80 per
cent, if not more, of the people were
opposed to Nazi Germany, Mr.. Da-
villa added that 'the Rumanian peo-
pie cannot be made responsible for
this declaration of war; Rumania
today is not a sovereign country: its
present regime is nothing else than
puppet government of Nazi Ger
many"
The former envoy said his task
and that of other freedom loving
Rumanians will be similar, if not
equal, to that Of the various gov
ernments in exile whose countries
have been occupied by the Axis
! powers"

The civilian defenders are at
their posts in the hypothetical air
raid being pictured by The Star.
The enemy planes are drawing
closer. They may attack Wash
ington or veer to strike at Bal
timore or Norfolk, but our de-
tenders can take no chances. The
people need not know yet, how
ever.
The people need only a few
minutes to prepare themselves for
the coming of bombers. They don't
wait until the night of an air
raid to hang curtains over their
windows and put out all the
lights that might be seen from
the air.
When the enemy is first sight

utes from Washington. The
planes are travelling SO fast that
the lights Of a city many miles
away can guide them to their tar
get. That's why the city will be
blacked out every night whenever
the military authorities think
Washington may become the tar
get for bombing, even though
there is no immediate threat OF
enemy action.
In preparation for the blackout
order, the people Of Washington
are already making their city
safer. Defense Co-ordinator John
Russell Young has asked that
the city be dimmed. That means

cutting out all unnecessary lights
and reducing all lighting visible
from the air, following the rule
that if the lights add possible
danger to the community they
should be reduced.
Blackout conditions exist in
this hypothetical air raid. At
communications headquarters the
blue light blinks. That means
that Washington is still in the
path of the enemy bombers, 10
minutes away. The only lights
left burning in the blackedout
city are those of essential indus
tries and transportation facili-
ties. These are obscured on the
blue light. Street lights have
been dimmed and screened so
they cannot be seen from the air.
BY the time the blue light
flashes on the board, the city's
defenders are standing by at fire
and police stations, at warden
posts and casualty stations. Res
cue and bomb squads, road re-
pair crews and demolition squads
are ready to go. Air raid war
dens patrol the streets; fire
watchers mount to the roofs.
