STOCKHOLM, Nov. 1.-THE
Swedish newspaper Alton Tfdnin-
gen said yesterday it had learned
that a new German decree permits
the death penalty for children rs
young as II years.
A law of 1889 stipulated that only
youths more than 16 could be exc
cuted by court order, but the new
decree, the newspaper said, de-
clared children are maturing faster
now and in exceptional cases, or
when children are found to be in
corrigible criminals, those between
II and Is will be subject to the
same punishment as adults.
The report on the new German
decree followed a London dispatch
of the Polish Telegraph Agency
saying so children had been seized
by the Nazis as hostages in recent
raids in Warsaw, most Of them be-
ing taken from tuberculosis sani-

Fred Eberhardt, who represents
! the Florida Motor Vehicle Com
mission in Key West said this
morning that he, in performing
the duties of his office, always
has been accorded prompt and
courteous cooperation by Colonel
r. T. Arlington, in command OF
the Key West Army Barracks,
and by Captain c. E. Reordan,
commandant of the Naval Operat-
ing Base here, so that he was
dumbfounded yesterday when a
second lieutenant at the air base
on Boca Chica, on whom a cita-
ton had been served to buy an
automobile license, sWore Justify,
in the presence of ladies, when
he entered the office of Tax Col
lector Frank H. Laid.
Mr.. Eberhardt stated that, in the
very beginning, it should be point
ed out that the air base is under
separate command.
The second lieutenant, Mr.. Eb-
erhardt explained, cursed in de-
handing if anybody thought he
was a food to buy a license.
AS a result, the second lieuten-
ant was placed under arrest and
taken to the Sheriff's office. He
declared that he did not have the
money with him to pay for the
license, but. were he released, he
would return and obtain the tag.
He was permitted to go, after
/ Deputy Sheriff Marcus Mesa had
taken the keys out of the second
lieutenant's car. He returned short
ly afterward, said he had the
! money to buy the license and
asked the return of the keys, but
instead of obtaining the license,
he jumped into his car and drove
out to the air base.
Mr.. Eberhardt SWore out war
rant for the second lieutenant
arrest and Sheriff Berlin Sawyer
drove out to the air base to serve
it. There, Sheriff Sawyer said
was told, Get him the best way
you cam.
Mr.. Eberhardt asserted that the
second lieutenant evidently was
determined not to comply with
the Florida law that requires him
to buy a license. First, he said
that he had arranged to buy a
license in Virginia, and, when Mr.
Eberhardt asked to see the receipt,
