LONDON, Sept. 2.-The Ger

Arlington Delays Opening

Earlier Polio Story on Page A-5.)
The opening of Arlington County
public schools was postponed from
Tuesday to September II, following
consultations between County
School Board and Health Depart
ment officials today.
This was done in order to give
children returning from more
heavily polio-infected areas the op-
portunity to remain at home q few
days as an additional precaution,
school officials said.
DR.. Ralph G. Beachley, county
health officer, said there have been
II cases of infantile paralysis in
Arlington, practically all of which
have been hospitalized in Washing
ton hospitals. He added he does
not feel there is any occasion for
alarm.
The action also followed circula.
tion of petition by q group of
parents asking the postponement,
and many individual requests by

Firms Reported Ready
To End War With Reds
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. ALI signs
pointed today to quick with
drawal of Finland from the war with
Russia.
The government of Marshal Baron
Carl Gustaf Mannerheim. now Pres
ident of Finland, was reliably re-
ported to have taken a decision to
break completely with Germany.
The newspaper Aftonbladet said
the Finnish Parliament, meeting in
a special session this afternoon. will
ask sanction of such decision.
A source usually we'll informed on
Finnish questions said lit seems
likely that the break with Germany
will be declared by tomorrow
With the Firms ordering all Baltic
shipping into Finnish or Swedish
ports, it seemed obvious that a mo-
mentous step was indicated. One
rumor said the Russians have de-
manded forceful measures by the
Finnish armies to drive the Nazis
from the country prior to receiving
a peace delegation in Moscow.

Call for Action
Against Germany
BY the Associated Press,

by tHe Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Sept. 2.-Bulgaria
reached a turning point today
as rioters in Sofia clamored for
war against Germany and the
Red Army raced along her north
ern border at a rate which in a
few days should bring it to the
spot where Yugoslavia, Romania
and Bulgaria join.
The country waited for the forma-
ton of new government following
the resignation of Premier Ivan Ba-
grianov, who stepped out even while
his peace delegates were meeting
with American and British repre-
sentatives in Cairo.
Russian armor under Gen. Rodion
Y. Malinovsky was probably less
than $50 miles from Northeast
Yugoslavia. driving across the plains
between the Pennsylvania Alps and
the Danube, apparently seeking to
make contact with Marshal Tito's
Yugoslav Partisans and to cut of
the Germans in Bulgaria and
Greece.
Planes Ahead of Tanks.
Red Army planes kept we'll ahead
OF the tanks, getting the lay of the
land and strafing scattered groups
fleeing out of Romania.
Soviet units across Bulgaria S
frontiers were in full view of Bull
garlans In numerous villages which
spot the southern banks of the
Danube. This was expected to have
a big psychological effect on a peo-
pie who traditionally have been pro-
Russian. The swift march of the
Red Army likely played a big part
IN the fall of Bagrianov's govern
ment.
1t was apparent Moscow was
watching the formation of a new
government in Sofia and its first
steps-which must of course. to sat-
isfy Russia, the United States and
Britain. fight against Hitler.
Notice to this effect already had
been served on Bulgaria and the
attitude here was that no matter
who was in power, the terms had not

Kent Removed 1900
Embassy Documents,
Report Says
Immunity Waived for
Trial in Britoin, Stote
Department Reveals
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD.

In the first complete report on
the arrest and conviction of Ty-
ler G. Kent, clerk in the Ameri-
can Embassy in London, by
British courts in 1910, the State
Department today revealed that
he had taken more than $500
documents from the Embassy,
some of which are believed to
have been transmitted to Ger
many.
Kents arrest, it was revealed, was
authorized by the American Embas-
sy, which waived his diplomatic i'm
nlunity after agents from Scotland
Yard had presented evidence impli-
eating him with group Of alleged
spies and particularly with Anna
Wolkoff, White Russian emigre
who had become British subject.
Both Kent and Miss Wolkoff were
tried for violation Of the British
Official Secrets Act. Kent was SEN
fenced to seven years Of penal servi-
tude and Miss Wolkon to 10.
The State Department said that
the question of whether Kent, after
his release in Britain. will face q
new trial under American law for
the theft of Government documents
remains to be decided.
Reply to Congressional Critics.
The official report was issued BY
the State Departments Office OF
foreign service administration, which
had been ordered by Secretary Hull
to make a thorough study of the
case. 1t apparently was designed
as reply to congressional critics
who have assailed the State Depart
ment for releasing the diplomatic
clerk to British custody when he
was protected by diplomatic i'm
munity.
Kent, 80, was born in New
chang, Manchuria, but spent most
of his life in Washington. He at
tended st. Adams School, George
Washington University, Princeton
the Sorbonne in Paris and the Uni
versity of Madrid before entering
the foreign service as a clerk in the
American Embassy at Moscow.
He is the son of a former Amer
'ican foreign service officer. His
mother still lives in Washington.
Kennedy Action Defended.
In a defense of the action OF
Joseph P. Kennedy, then American
Ambassador to London. in releasing
Kent for trial in British courts
the State Department said:
In reviewing the Kent case it is
important to bear in mind the cir
|cumstances surrounding it, At the
time of Kent's arrest and trial
Great Britain was at war and the
United States was not. The case
involved a group of people suspect
ed of subversive activities. The evil
dence relating to individuals of the
group was inextricably mixed, and
the activities of no single suspect
could be separated from the activi-
ties of the others.
"The interest of Great Britain in
such a case, at time when it was
fighting for its existence, was, there
fore, pre-eminent. Deep as was the
concern of the Government of the
United States over a betrayal OF
trust by one of its employees, it il
