Americans May Recover Sums Due from Magnate Nazi Government That Holds Prop erty of Arnold Bernstein, May Settle With Creditors. BERLIN, Jan. 8 (UP) American creditors of Arnold Berstein, once wealthy German - Jewish shipping magnate now under criminal sen tence for violating Nazi Germany's foreign exchange law, will be paid in full, it was understood today. Bernstein's companies were indebt ed to Americans to the extent of $3, 000,000 . It was understood that Julius Berger, appointed by the gov ernment trustee of Bernstein's steam ship lines at the time of his arrest a year ago, has made arrangements to pay off this debt at the rate of $200, 000 a year. Berstein, convicted yesterday and sentenced to serve two and one half years in prison and pay a fine of $400,000. stripped himself of all as sets last week, it was said, when he turned over his majority holdings in his lines to Berger. These will be sold and the proceeds used to pay his fine. The North German Lloyd-Hamburg-America line was understood to be bidding for them. The government will decide soon the prison where Bernstein w ill serve at hard labor. He has been in his Hamburg prison for 12 months and this time was deducted from his sen tence. Bernstein, five associates, and the Arnold Bernstein and Red Star lines were charged with irregularities in connection with dealings in foreign currency. Reports at the time were that Bernstein had been considering trans ferring his iu-aciiuartcr--. from llaw iburg to Antwerp, removing the com panies from German control. Such a move might hae resulted in the loss of large revenues to the Rei.h government. Subsequently and despite his war record and the fact that he had not previously incurred disfavor, Bern stein and his associates were arrest ed. In December thev were brought to trial under the law against oeo j nomie sabotage. j Specifically the company officials jwere charged with having failed to report foreign exchange in their pos- session abroad. 'Under thai law bte death penalty could have been imposed but the state demanded five years in the peni- itentiary. five years' loss of civil rights jand a fine of 4. "00. 000 marks (ap proximately $1.SS0,000 lesser terms were demanded for the others. ' Bernstein denied that he had ever had any intention of moving his head quarters, although the Hamburg of j flee was merely a booking organiz ation and the shins of the Bernstein lines did not touch at German ports. TRAPPERS FACE SHORT SEASON IN FAR NORTH PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. (UP) Northern trappers may have to finish, their work early this year due to the lack cf caribou the walking food supply for the trappers and their dogs. Abscs.co of barren land carbiou has depleted the laider of white-fox hunt ers by and planes have kept them going fly in i in extra supplies from the settlement of irtor.y I apids, on Lake Athabasca. It is the first time in 10 years that caribou have not been plentiful and the late freeze is blamed. The lakes failed to freeze over in time and the animals turned eastward, where they are wintering 2o') miles fio.n their usual haunts. John Hornby and h!:s two r.cphews. it was recalled, starved to death in the Tiielon river area, on Great Slave Lake, because the weather forced the caribou to abandon their winter feed ing grounds. Iiornsby previously had boasted I , weidd never starve because he could always "live off the country." GIVE SUPPLEMENTAL LOAN WASHINGTON. Jan. 8 (UP Pub lic Works Administrator Harold L.

CoOperation Can Defeat the Recession Senator James Byrnes of Unemployed and Relief Committee Has Hopes of Results. WASHINGTON, Jan. 8 (UP) Chairman James F. Byrnes, D., S. C, of the senate employment and relief committee completed a week's study of the problem today with the belief that cooperation of business, labor and government could defeat the re cession. Byrnes contended that cooperation would dissipate a lack of confidence which, was described by some wit nesses as a contributing cause of the business recession. "By what better means could you restore confidence than by cooperation between business, labor and govern ment " Byrnes said. lie suggested that the various groups get together and confer on general economic conditions. He would not comit himself, however, on President Roosevelt's proposal for controlled production. Other developments in the attempt to alleviate the business recession were: 1. Congressional farm leaders point ed to pending bills providing for the creation of laboratories to develop new uses for agricultural products. Henry Ford, millionahe automobile manufacturer, in an interview yester day, suggested this same means a way to absorb surpluses and create ad ditional employment. 2. Sen. Lewis B. Schwellenbach, D., laid before President Roosevelt a pro posal to expand the works progress administration to absorb all idle per sons. 3. Sen. William Murray, D., Mont., a member of the relief committee, sup ported proposals by President Wil liam Creen of the American Federa tion of Labor that WPA be expanded to provide for the idle and that the PWA program be enlarged. Murray also joined Byrnes in the belief that dissipation of the "fear psychology" would bring an upturn in business. He pointed out that Pres ident William Knudsen of General Motors Corporation and President I Robert E. Wood of Sears-Roebuck and company declared that "the reces sion is not serious." Byrnes could not define along what lines the cooperation between the groups should proceed. lie said that it might Le possible for the threj to confer at various times, with the government furnish ing statistics on economic trends. "If a drop was foreseen," he said "Plans could be made to ease off pro duction, so that a sharp decline could be avoided." Turning to the President's informal plan for government-business con ferences Byrnes questioned whether leveling off peak productions would throw men out of employment when they ordinarily would be working. Sen. Henry Cabot, Jr., R., Mass.. a member of the unemployment com mittee, said that testimony this week was only "scenery" and that more attention should be centered upon the administration of relief as quickly as nossible in communities where new A and aditional needs develop. BRITISH DOCTORS POLLED FOR WAR EMERGENCY LONDON (UP) Every doctor in Great Britain is to be included in a national emergency survey being organized by the British Medical As sociation.
