Nazis Press Bulgaria
For Workers in Lieu
OF Armed Assistance
Recruiting Drive Revealed
In German Broudcusts
Of Sofiu Dispatches

6E lnt ASSOCIhte0 PreSS.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Sofia dis
patches broadcast by the Berlin radio
indicated yesterday that Germany
was high-pressuring Bulgaria into
furnishing labor commitments for
the Axis, perhaps as a substitute for
the military aid she has withheld.
Bulgarian workers are requested
TO participate in the reconstruction
of the new Europe by an appeal pub
lished in the entire Bulgarian press
Friday morning" the German radio
said.
The author of the appeal was the
leader, unidentified in the broadcast.
of an Office newly established for re-
cruitlng Bulgarian workers for
Germany.
Potential volunteers were told that
they would not only assist in the
construction of the new Axis-model
Europe, but would gather exper-
fences which they will later be able
to apply for the benefit of Bulgarian
industries"
The recruiting campaign is being
waged in nation which, despite
its Axis allegiance, has retained it's
100000 or so troops for little more
than police duty within the Balkans
and has never joined in the war on
Russia.
Perhaps this subject was touched
on in the recent Berlin conference
of Adolf Hitler and Gen. Nikolai
Michov, Bulgarian War Minister.
The quest for extra hands to man
the Nazi factory front may have
led the Fuehrer to propose that Bull
garia send him workers if her deep
rooted sympathies with Russia a
sister Slavic nation, blocked the as
signment of Bulgarian troops to help
him out on the Soviet front.

GLIDING Borneo and Timor. soon
will become almost impregnable
fortresses. The Japs hope to
make them into strongholds
more powerfully fortified than
those of the inundated islands.
News of the Japs' activity
reaches Washington occasionally
but receives scant public atten-
ton because interest is focused
on the North African-European
theater of war.
Once in while when our
forces under Vice Admiral Will
liam F. Halsey, jr., or Gen. Doug
las Macarthur gain some spec
tacular success the American,
people remember that a deadly
war is being fought in the Pacific.
It is true that with the rela-
lively small means at their dis
posal these two commanders
managed to inflict severe casual
ties on the Japanese Navy and
Air Force and wiped out more
japanese in a couple of weeks
than have the American and
British forces In the battle zone
across the Atlantic.
Nazi Defeat First Interest.
But at the moment the chief
interest lies in the defeat Of Hit
Ter. Observation-Disclosures in
formation and propaganda agen-
cies naturally are following the
main pattern of our strategy,
which Is to conquer the Germans
first and then turn on the Jap
anese.
Under the circumstances and
under the demands Of our STRAIT
egy, the bulk of the available men
and materials Is being rushed to
Russia, Britain, North Africa and
other sections across the Atlantic
which might later develop into
secondary fronts all leading to an
about blow at the European end
Of the Axis.
Meanwhile, however, the jap
anese are far from idle. Heavy
losses in merchantmen and war
ships have sobered up the ex-
tremely optimistic Toxic leaders.
While they are planning more
e. offensive moves, in spite of their
shortage of destroyers and cruis-
ers, they also are preparing. hum
dreds of strategic islands as bas-
tons against an eventual Ameri-
can offensive.
They have learned one definite
lesson-that the American fight
ing men In the air, on sea, and on
land are not soft" Hence, In
whatever offensive operations
they may decide on in the near
future we must expect them to be
thoroughly prepared. 1t is I'M
likely that they will repeat the

Continuing on social security,
should like to say that the estab-
lishment OF a first-rate system in
each of the United Nations Is an
almost indispensable condition to
sensible peace.
If our soldiers come back to I'M
employment, their feeling about the
world they will have helped to save
will be of certain kind; II they
come back to security, 1t will be
sharply different.
Some of our isolationists seem
hardly able to wait until presumably
disconnected soldiers return; this
theme recurs constantly in isola-
ZIONIST literature; more editor seems
to be banking on what will happen
when the boys come marching home
to make THERE political weight felt.
Approach to Colonies.
On a higher level, we are forced
to recognize that India has, to a
certain extent, been Great Britain's
social security. II social security
becomes Britain's social security, in
stead, the approach to the colonies
is almost certain to be altered.
We have heard a great deal about
how internal reforms are needed in
India before separation can be &C
complished, but internal reforms in
England are also appropriate to that
major operation; in this sense, the
Beverage plan makes easier the
freeing of India. 1t is not quite
true that good things come to-
gether; it is truer that good things
lead to good things.
The third point is that we should
help our statesmen by removing
from them the temptation to seek,
in the terms of the peace, substi-
tutes for the solution of their in
ternal problems.
We have a tendency to regard
certain leading statesmen of the last
war, the Clemenceaus, Orlandos, etc.
as rapacious fellows who were repa-

Trial Of Former WPB
Machine Tool Official
Set for March IS
Chaser to Be Tried;
3 PIeod NoIIe Contendere
In ALLEGED Plot

Trial of Ralph Lamont CHASER,
former War Production Board Of
fetal, on charges of violating the
critically machine tools from
being allocated to war contractors
will start March IS, Justice Bolitha
j. Laws ruled yesterday in District
Court, following nolle contendere
pleas from three other persons in
dicted in the same conspiracy.
Robert B. Rhoads, a fifth person
charged with the conspiracy, has
pleaded guilty to the charges. He is
the former chief Of the available
used tool section of the tools branch
Of WPB. Chaser, who has pleaded
not guilty, Is the former assistant
chief in the same department.
Three other Clarence
J. OBrien and Frank l.. O'Brien, jr.,
of the O'Brien Machinery Co., Phila-
delphia, and Louis E. Emerman,
president of a Chicago machine tool
firm, told the court yesterday they
would not contend the charges.
Justice Laws lIlQlCat6O ne may IlOU
sentence RhoadS, Emerman and the
O'Briens until after the trial of
CHASER.
The true bill handed up August 81
detailing the conspiracy charged
that Rhoads and CHASER were the
go-betweens in the disposition by
Emerman to the O'Briens of an
option on II idle used tools. Rhoads
and Chaser received SIS, 900 each as
their part in the deal, the indict-
ment charged.
The two Government men in their
official capacities had the response
bility of locating all available used
machine tools and channeling them
into the production of war materials
at the earliest possible moment.
1t was agreed as part of the con-
spiracy, the indictment stated, that
the two officials would not report
the II tools as being available for
production. AS result, the $150,000
worth of equipment lay idle six
weeks during the progress of the
pot, it was charged.

stepping out, as Democratic ma
tional chairman and party leader
in the Bronx, to go to Australia
as United States Minister.
Mr.. Flynn has been one of the
strongest supporters of President
Roosevelt in the State. He broke
with the then Democratic organ
ization of New York City In 1882
to fight for Mr.. RooSevelt's NOM
nation for President, when AL
Smith was candidate, too. He
has been a close friend of the
President for years, so close that
he and Mrs. Flynn have been
guests at many Roosevelt func-
tions to which others have not
been invited and to which Mr..
Flynn's position as Democratic
leader of the Bronx did not nee
essarily place him on the list of
guests.
Mr.. Flynn's selection by the
President to head the National
Committee and to run the Presi-
dental campaign in 1910, after
Mr.. Farley had stepped out, was
logical. The paving block cpl
sode, of which much is being
made in opposition to Mr..
Flynn's new diplomatic appoint
ment-although two grand juries
exonerated him of wrongdoing-
made Mr.. Flynn vulnerable to
political attack.
Move Long Expected.
1t has been obvious for some
time that he would move out OF
the national Craftsmanship. And
the Presidents appointment of
him to be Minister of Australia
certainly softens the blow. Unless
the uproar from the public be-
comes too great, Mr.. Flynn's con-
f1rmation by the Democratic
majority of the Senate seems
sure.
Mr.. Flynn is not stepping out
of his position as New Yorks
male member of the Democratic
National Committee, although he
is relinquishing the chairman
ship of the committee and his
leadership in the Bronx. 1t may
be he is holding on to that job
for the reason that If he resigned
from the national committee, Jim
Farley might be chosen by the
Democratic State Committee of
New York to succeed him.
The State committees fill va
cancies in the national committee
when vacancies occur between
national party conventions. Mr..
Farley has hung on to the chair
manship of the State committee
and it looks as though nothing
would get him out. 1t would not
be part of the New Deal book to
have Mr.. Farley, who is now
strongly anti-Roosevelt, step into
membership in the national COM
mittee.
New Deal Democrats are anx-
ious to maintain a grip on the
national committee. They wish
to be in a position to renominate
the President in 1914 if they can.
If the war is still on In 1914 1t
looks as though the Presidents
denomination was foregone
conclusion.
With Mr.. Farley riding herd
over the New York State commit
tee it is almost certain, however,
that it will be difficult to have a
solid Roosevelt delegation sent to
the 1914 Democratic National
Convention. But while it may be
a split delegation, it would be
great surprise if Mr.. Farley was

To Rule on Sanity
Of Frances Farmer

manders made at Guadalcanal.
The possibility of another set
back Is not discounted by the
Japanese general staff. There
was a time some six months ago
when. had we directed our major
efforts against the enemy in the
Pacific, we could have taken some
Of their conquered islands and
established strong forces In vital
strategic positions such as Timor
or Borneo and from them we
could have waged a war Of at
triton against the Japanese by
cutting their lines Of supplies.
No Easy Victory.
Such an effort was not made
because the United Nations high
command had other plans-the
invasion of North Africa, for in
stance, and all that could be
spared for the Pacific battle was
just enough to keep us on the
defensive. Now the prospects of
a relatively easy victory in that
area are slim.
The Japanese are exploiting
their newly acquired territories,
rich In tin, rubber and oil, and
intend to make them their chief
source Of supply for Japan's re-
sistance against the Allies in the
event Hitler is defeated soon.
While the exploitation was done
in a more or less perfunctory
manner in the months following
the expulsion of the United Ma
tons forces from those terri
tories, the Japs set to work with
a will after their first defeat at
Guadalcanal.
After completion of the new
Canton-Saigon railway, the Jap
anese-because of this new line
Of communications-will be less
concerned over possible increase
in submarine activity against
their sea lanes. The railroad will
make safe the transportation Of
food and raw materials from
Malaga and Indo-C China.
Jap Psychological War.
The Japanese have not neg
lected psychological warfare.
They are exploiting the Atlantic
Charter for their own benefit by
telling the people Of Malaga,
Indo-China and China that the
four free doms which have
aroused such enthusiasm among
the conquered nations are meant
for the white mans territories
only and will not be applied to
the yellow races.
The Japs' propaganda agencies
are playing up the slogan, Asia
for the Asiastics." The Japanese
officials placed in charge Of the
newly conquered territories were
at first minor officials whose
main interest was to squeeze out
of the subjected nations as much
as they could to fill their own
pockets.
But this situation has been
changed. The new set of officials
are men Of integrity mostly edu-
Gated in American, British and
French universities. They are
treating the Malayans and other
, races Of that area almost as
equals and are endeavoring to
assure their support for the flu
ture when American and British
forces may attempt to dislodge
the Japanese.
According to some competent
observers, the job OF defeating
Japan after Hitler has been liz
Undated will be far more dif1i-
cult, lengthy and costly than
the defeat of Germany and Italy.

Crossword puzzles are grand sport

But the game doesn't seem so

be so completely engrossing that he
can't even get a word in about the

OF course, il he would try a cross

still might not enjoy being on the
fringes of a puzzle, but at least he
will know why his family cuts him
so dead the next time they get in

personally.
His only safeguard is to get the
