PcTSoIlIlel, Ine army announcement
said.
Taken with Funk were DR.. Hans
Heinrich hammers, chief Of the
Reichchancellery, and DR.. William
Ohnesorge, postmaster general.
The brief announcement did not
say where the roundup took place.
The Army's announcement said
that besides Gen. Oshima, the Japa-
nese arrested included members of
the Berlin Embassy staff, personnel
detached from the staffs in France
and Italy and the consulate gen.
eral in Austria.
Japs May Be Interned.
Unofficial Washington sources said
last night that the japanese diplo-
mats would be subject to intern
ment. 1t was indicated the group
would have special diplomatic status
and would not be treated as ordi-
nary prisoners of war.
These sources also explained that
it might be possible later In the
war to effect an exchange with Ja-
pan for Americans or other Allied
prisoners held in that countryA
With Gen. Oshima were his wife:
1t. Gen. Mitsuhiko Komatsu, military
attache; Mai Gen. Osamu Otanl
member of the mixed commission
under the tripartite pact; Rt'ar Ad-
miral Mideo Kojima, naval attache;
Maj. Gen. Yoshisada Mishims,
member of the foreign Office staff,
and four newspapermen represent
ing the official news agency Domei
and the newspaper Asahi Shimbun.
Walther Funk, dyed-in-the-wool
Nazi economist, succeeded Dr.. HAL
NAL Schacht as minister OF eco
nomics on February 7, 1888, and took
over the presidency of the Reichs-
bank January 10, 1889
Funk. now "a, became closely as
sociated with Adolf Hitler in 1881.
when he was appointed head of the
economic section of the Nazi party.
Previously, as writer on economies
for German newspap pers, he had been
bitter critic of reparations, foreign
loans and subservience to foreign
financial interests.
On the day Hitler assumed power
January 80, 1933-Funk was ap-
pointed press chief of the German
government. Soon after, Paul Goeb-
bells took over and Funk became his
state secretary.
Funk Replaced Schacht.
Funk replaced DR.. Schacht when
the latter evidenced that he could
not submerge himself sufficiently to
| Nazi economic doctrine to fit into
Goering's four-year plan. After
taking Office, Funk urged closer
trade relations between Germany
and the United States, but when his
efforts failed he embarked on a bold
attempt to wean South America
away from North America.
Funk was largely responsible for
drawing the Balkans into the Ger
man economic sphere after Munich
and though things went worse for
the short, chubby bonvivant Of the
Nazi cabinet after the outbreak of
war, he later drew Romania COM
pletely into Germans orbit. Under
his direction, all Southeastern Eu-
rope came under Germany's sphere
at the height of the Reich's sue
cesses in Europe.

detail work associated with all
government transactions" he
said, adding that he thought some
modification of the present law
might be necessary. He revealed
that 600 loans nave alreaoy been
made in North Carolina.
To receive benefits under the
"Bill," veterans must apply with
in two years AFTER discharge, or
of the end of the war, whichever
is the later date.
Discussing the disqualification
and insurance features Of veterans
work, Mr.. Pittman said that estl-
mates indicated the need for $780,
600 hospital beds which is less
than two per cent of the number
of men eligible under the law,
less than 10 per cent OF whom
are disabled.
Total insurance carried by the
government for veterans is $780,
900, 600, 900, an average OF $1,000
per man.
Although Public Law No. 346
contains no provisions for World
War I vets, they already have es.
sentially the same rights as World
War II veterans, he concluded.
Several members Of the club
asked questions about the &C. l.
Bill after Mr.. Pittman spoke.
Earlier in the meeting, Richard
S. Rogers told the club that Gov
ernor Ozmer Henry had asked that
a joint meeting of the Whiteville,
Tabor City and Wilmington clubs
Fbe held in Whiteville setting a
tentative date of December ID.

clared, adding that they have two
choices:
1. Follow blindly the lead given
by small band of capitalists and
imper;alists trying to subjugate
Indonesia anew or
2. Adjust themselves to chang
ed conditions and through peace
full discussion secure for them
selves and their descendants the
predominant place they hold in
trade and industry, making it pos
sible for themselves to live here
and earn their livelihood in peace
and security"
Soekarno said Gin concert with
our immediate neighbors and the
rest of the world we intend to take
our place in the council of the
United Nations to further nipple
ment the ideals of the San Fran
cisco Charter.
I'm short time we intend to
prove our adherence to democrat

Meanwhile, Java was generally
quiet except in Batavia where
sporadic shooting continued
through most Of the night. A Brit
ish statement said shots were ex-
changed between Indonesian and
Dutch forces near the Hotel Des

night and that shooting had
spread to the southeast section Of
Batavia. No casualties were re-
ported.
The British also reported a slight
increase in tension at the Dutch

gave no details beyond the laconic
statement that "our troops have
