WARSAW, Poland, Oct. 29 (UP)
Poland probably must accept and
tbsoib thousands of Jews from
Germany,, foreign office circles ad
rr.ited reluctantly today.
Negotiations to persuade Beilin to
rescind its mass deportation orders
against Polish Jews living in Germany
made no progress. Germany it was
declared was obdurate in the point
that Poland's new citizenship law,
requiring Polish Jews aboard to have
their passports validated by tomor
row, means that those who refuse to
do so will lose their citizenship and
become a permanent burden on Ger
many. It was estimated that 9,000 Jews
are waiting at the borders. Most
of the refugees according to infor
mation in Warsaw are already in
Polish territory or in the so-called
no man's land between the citizens
on the German and Polish side-? of the
frontier. It was believed eventually
Poland will be forced to take some
thing like 7,000 and more later.
TO RETAIN MASKS
LONDON, Oct. 29 (UP) Sir Sam

that civilians who received gas masks

keep them. He told local authorities
that the situation would be review
ed in six months. Containers to pre
serve the masks will be distributed
as rapidly as they are manufactured.
If they are earefully preserved, Hoare
added, the masks should remain "in
serviceable condition for a number
of years."

REPEAL BANK LAW
Nebraska voters are being urged
to repeal our old law- which Imposes
double liability upon stockholders of
state banks.
It is hoped no citizen will have
the mistaken impression that repeal
will be a big favor to the banks. It
will not. It is the small towns of our
state which cannot maintain a S50,
000 national bank that will benefit.
And through the betterment of these
small towns the entire state will be
benefitted.
Because of deposit insurance the
federal government removed double
liability from national banks. State
banks can also insure deposits and
most of them do so now. Double lia
bility therefore is no longre needed
to protect depositors of state banks.
As it stands now state banks are
handicapped by having to pay . for
deposit insurance and, at the same
time being subjected to double lia
bility. In case cf noed double 'lia
bility would b? called first. Under
these circumstances people simply
will not invest in a (itate bank..
As a result there are nearly 100
small towns in the state that need
and could maintain a state bank
Banks in these small towns are neces
sary to good business as they would
furnish money for movement of crops
and livestock. This, in turn, would
create traffic for railroads and in
crease employment generally.
If every voter knew these facts
repeal would bo certain. Many vot
ers, however, feel that because this
matter concerns banks it is of no in
terest to themselves.
This is so important to Nebraska
that both republican and democratic
parties have endorsed repeal of this
law and are urging party members to
be sure and vote "for" repeal.
, The proposal about state banks
wjll appear on a non-political ballot.
KILL SELF FEARING LICKING
CHICAGO, Oct. 29 (UP) Nich
olas Bournas Jr., 12, who shot him
self in the head because he was
afraid -his mother would give him a
licking for havingplayed hooky from

ed for California where Fender has

Lansing, a suburb south of Chicago.
A policeman spotted them, convinced
they they should go home and gave
them money for bus fare. When they
arrived at the home it was late.
"I'll catch it now," Nicholas said.
"My mom will give me a . licking.
I think I'll kill myself."
. He. drew a pistol from his pocket.
''Don't be silly." Bobby said. "Go
on in. I'm going home." .
He had gone only a . block when
he heard. a Bhot. He ran back just
as Mrs- Bournas who alho had heard
the shot reached her boy's side. He
was slumped near the rear porch
with a bullet through, his head.

London Talks
of Sir Neville,
Garter Knight
Honor Considered Likely for Prime
Minister Neville Chamber
lain's Peace Efforts.
By JOE ALEX MORRIS
(Copyright, 1938, by United Press)
The backwash from Europe's war
crisis is still turning up odds and
ends such as the kistory of the black
patch'' over Czech Premier Jan Sy
rovy's right eye,' the wailing of Paris
taxi drivers whose cabs were dam
aged' in government service and the
dreadful fear of British Prime Min
ister Neville Chamberlain for air
plane travel.
Stories of the crisis will be pop
ping up for. many weeks and im
portant phases of the war-or-peace
negotiations probably will not' be
known for years, but there are two
reDorts coiner around that time is
sure to catch up with soon.
The first Is that Chamberlain is
going to be made a Knight of the
Garter. There's a hitch to that, as
onlp the prime minister can recom
mend candidates to the king. But
that morality might be overcome if
the recommendation were made by
Sir John Simon, chancellor of the
exchequer, on some occasion when
he is acting prime minister.
The seccrnd concerns Georges'
Bonnett, the French foreign minis
ter, who has taken most of the critl
cism for the collapse of France's Cen
tral European alliances, while Pre
mier Edouard Daladier has won the
cheers that France sent up when war
was averted. There have been rumors
that Bonnet, former ambassador to
Washington, eventually would be a
political sacrifice.
One of the better stories of the
crisis that were crowded out by the
march of great events concerned
Chamberlain's visit to King George
at Balmoral Castle. The king heard
his -prime minister's report and then
expressed regret that Chamberlain
should hurry back to London.
"Why not stay on for a morning's
fishing?" the king asked. "I could
then send you back to London in my
airplane in time for the cabinet meet
ing.? . . f.
Chamberlain shook his
head
in
horror.
"The thought of flying terrifies
me," he remarked. A few days later
he was dashing back and forth across
Europe by airplane often in rough
weather in an historic attempt to
prevent war.
The French mobilization was con
sidered a highly successful test of
the general staff plans for quick
rallying of defensive forces, but
Frenchmen from industrialists to
taxlcab drivers paid a high prices for
it. The cost to the government alone
was estimated at approximately
$300,000,000-
For about two weeks only war ma
terials were at full production and
most other business and industry was
paralyzed. Thousands of automobiles
and horses were requisitioned. Vin-
cennes forest became an open air
garage for about 20,000 automobiles.
Owners of requisitioned horses got
bills of transfer which they cashed
at banks, but owners of automobiles
got only a receipt. Numbers were
stenciled on the cars and many who
are getting their machines back com
plain that the paint or motor has
been damaged. The Paris taxicab
drivers are particularly vociferous in
their complaints, but the government
need pay only for cars that suffered
extreme damages.
Gen. Syrovy, the new. Czech pre
mier, is famous as a man of -few
words who could cover his chest (but
doesn't) with, medals won on the
battlefield. He is married, has no
children, lives simply on the out
skirts of Prague, enjoyB a glass or
two of beer. At 53, he is still physi-

He lost his right eye in 1917 while
fighting the Germans on the Russian
front. Three days later he was back
at his post., The Czechs kept on fight
ing after the war and Syrovy, then a
lieutenant, rose to command of an
army of : 70,000 Czechs In Russia. It
was then he- led his troops 5,000
miles through hostile, revolution
torn Russia and Siberia to Vladlv
ostock. It was a military epic and
gave the Czechs a reputation as
great fighters.
. The Czech triumph ended with
Syrovy a general and one of the out
standing military heroes of the post
war republic,, but often it was said
he might not have achieved such
fame had it not been for the loss of
his eye. The black patch he wore
over his right eye during the fight
ing in Russia reminded the Czech
soldiers of the Hussite hero of the
Middle Ages, old Biska, and was
given credit for inspiring great
deeds as well as strengthening Sy
rovy's leadership.
After two years or fighting Sy
rovy's armies reached Vladlvostock
and the man whom fate was to make
premier at a time when Europe's four
great powers were agreeing to dis
memberment of his country received
a telegram from the British-wartime
prime . minister, David Lloyd
George.
It said:
"We shall never forget."
FIRED FOR TELLING STORIES

President's
Board Rejects
Railway Plea
Recommend That Notices Be With
drawn for 15 Per Cent
Wage Reduction.
i
WASHINGTON. Oct. '29 (UP)
President Roosevelt's emergency fact
finding board today rejected the-demand
of railway management for a
15 per cent wage cut affecting 9G0,
000 workers.
The board lists five main reasons
for recommending that the railroads
withdraw and cancel the wage cut
notices.
These were:
1. The wages of railroad labor
are not high even as compared with
wages in other comparable indus
tries. 2. A horizontal reduction of wages
on a national scale would not meet
the financial emergency of the indus
try, since the savings would not be
distributed merely to the needy roads.
3. A wage reduction in the rail
road industry would run counter to
the trend of wage rates in industry
generally.
4. The financial distress of the car
riers which has obtained since Octo
ber 1937 when the last wage in
creases were granted, is as yet a short
term situation. As such, it cannot be
regarded as grounds for a wage re
duction, especially in view of pres
ent indications of an Improvement
In the business of the carriers.
5. In the light of these findings
the board concludes that the proposal
of the carriers for a reduction of
the wages of railway labor should
not be pressed and recommends that
the carriers withdraw and cancel
the notices which would -put such a
redution into operation as of Decem
ber 1, 1938.
President Roosevelt who received
the report personally from the board
headed by Chief Justice Walter P.
Stacy of North Carolina had no im
mediate comment. The White House
announced, however, that Mr. Roose
velt would meet Monday with Presi
dent John J. Palley of the Association
of American Railroads and with

Railway Labor Executives associa
