" NAZIS V0D PACT ONWATERTRAFFL Will Assume Complete Con- trol, Versailles Signatories > Are Informed. BACKGROUND— Part of program on which Chancellor Hitler rose to power in Germany four years ago was de- nuncigtion of Versailles Treaty, which he said oppressed the Fathér- land. After his accession in 1933 he began series of acts, serving no- tice Germany no longer recognized validity of treaty. He violated agree- ments against increasing the Reich Army and climazed his policy eight months ago by remilitarizing the Rhineland in violation of treaty. This move caused vigorous protests by France. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, November 14.—Germany shook off another of her World ‘War “peace shackles” today by resuming control of traffic on her rivers and repudiating international governing commissions set up by the treaty of Versailles. Signatories of the Versailles pact were advised that Germany considers the internationalization clause to as- sure foreign traffic equal rights with German shipping is no longer valid. Henceforth river traffic and the strategic Kiel Canal will be subject} only to German regulation, the Third Reich announced. A foreign office spokesman said the step was a “mere shaking off of Ver- sailles control,” but that traffic would not be affected, although renunciation of the internationalization clause put Germany in a position to restrict for- eign traffic on the Upper Rhine if it should be fortified or on any other river in the event of emergency. The newest break from World War treaty restrictions followed by.eight months rearmament of the Rhineland, also in violation of the Versailles pact, and a step that roused France to vig- orous protest. Traffic Affected. | Affected by today's nullification of | part XII of the Versailles pact were: the Upper Rhine and Moselle, the | Upper Danube, the Elbe and the | Oder Rivers. i Traffic on these rivers has been ad- ministered by commissions represent- | ing interested nations and with Ger- | man representation in the minority. Czechoslovakian rights to a free port at Hamburg, a 99-year grant under the treaty, will not be affected, au- thoritative sources said. Czechoslo- vakia has not exercised her right to & free port at German Stettin. The strategically vital Kiel Canal a1s0 will be under German administra- tion henceforth. Germany no longer will recognize article 380 of the treaty whereby the canal must be maintained open to both merchant and war ves- sels of foreign nations. Negotiation Tried. The government of Adolf Hitler will | be guided by the principle that vessels of foreign countries at peace with Ger- many may enjoy the same right on in- land waterways as now are permitted | German vessels on the waterways of the respective foreign countries, a communique stated. The announcement pointed out that Germany tried by negotiation to reach an international agreement replacing the Versailles waterways regime but “other participating powers could not | make up their minds to relinquish a system which in fundamental princi- ples cannot be reconciled to German sovereign rights.” FRANCE TO PROTEST, Will Seek Aid of England in Nazis’ Newest Repudiation. PARIS, November 14 (#).—French officials planned tonight to seek Brit- ish aid in protesting Germany’s new- est repudiation of the Treaty of Ver- sailles, fearing it paved the way for & Nazi demand for territorial changes. | Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos in- | structed diplomats ‘In countries af- | lepted by Germany's action imme- diately to consult their governments | and it was understood Premier Leon | Blum favored a collective protest by the nations concerned. | Germany obtained revision of the | Versailles navigation provisions, it was stated here, which would have gone into effect in January. This revision, officials said, would have given the Reich equal rights in the administration of her waterways, and even would have granted Ger- many the presidency of the interna- tional commissions controlling them. Today’s announcement from Ger- many, however, indicated the commit- tees would be done away with and Ger- many would become the complete and sole authority.

A.IsBuilding Protected Harbor On Nanticoke River Project at Bivalve, Md., W ill Safeguard W ater- men’s Boats. By the Associated Press. BIVALVE, Md., November 14— Nanticoke River watefmen will have protected anchorage for their work boats when the W, P. A. finishes con- struction of a public pier and wharf here. Brady J. Dayton, district director of the Works Progress Administration, said work on the $5,000 project al- ready was underway. ‘The Wicomico County commission- ers sponsored the project at the re- quest of the Bivalve Improvement As- sociation. Residents of this section are contributing toward the project. Storms of the past few years have done much damage to the work boats which are essential to the watermen who earn their living by fishing, oystering and crabbing. From the mouth of the Nanticoke River to Tyaskin Creek, a distance of 10 miles, there is no harbor where the boats can put in safely. The harbor here will provide pro- tection for 50 boats, both harbor and wharf will be available to all residents of the county. The harbor will extend 300 feet from the shore and will be 300 feet wide with a 50-foot entrance formed of a double row of 12-inch oak piling. NEW RAIL-SERVIGE INJUNCTION DENIED Three-Judge Federal Court Wont Stay Pick-Ups, Starting Tomorrow. By tre Assoctate” Press. NEW YORK, November 14.—A statutory three-judge Federal court de- clined today to stay the inauguration Monday of free pick-up and delivery service by nine major Eastern rail- roads. Denying. the application of the Mer- chant Truckmen's Bureau of New York, the court asserted that “the petitioner’s right to a permanent in- junction after a final hearing is much | too doubtful to justify the granting of an nterlocutory injunction.” Announcing plans for an immediate appeal were being considered, the truckmen said through Arthur G. McKeever, managing director of the Merchants’ Bureau, that the effect of the new railroad service would be “im- mediate and irreparable.” Opposition to Method. “Local truckmen,” McKeever said, “never opposed the right of railroads to furnish collection and delivery serv- ice. Their opposition is to the method proposed by the tariffs of the railroads, which violates every principle of ethical procedure as outlined in gen- erally accepted fair trade practices.” ‘The new rates for door-to-door de- livery service were sanctioned by the Interstate Commerce Commission. They provide a minimum charge of 45 cents per hundred pounds. McKeever protested that “the effect of the tariffs is that the railroads offer competitive price of nothing. * * *” “the contemplated action of the rail- roads will impair the economic posi- tion of local truckmen by depriving them of the competitive advantage they have heretofore enjoyed.” The court added, however, that the truckmen should seek redress through an administrative action before the Interstate Commerce Commission rather than through an independent suit. Joined by Master Truckmen. The Merchant Truckmen's Bureau was joined in the action by the Master Truckmen of America, Inc. The suit for injunction was directed against the Federal Government, the Interstate Commerce Commission and the nine railroads—Lackawanna, Lehigh Val- ley, Long Island, New Haven, New York Central, Pennsylvani, New Jersey Central and Baltimore & Ohio. The decision was given by Thomas W. Swan of the Court of Appeals and District Judges William Bondy and Vincent Leibell. In a similar decision at Washington, a special statutory court consisting of Justice D. Lawrence Groner of the United States Court of Appeals and District Judges Alfred A. Wheat and Jennings Bailey, denied a temporary injuction to the American Trucking Association. The application in that case was di- rected against six major railroads and two steamship companies, including the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Norfolk & Western Railroads and the Eastern Steamship and Clyde- Mallory Lines.

BY the Associated Press. CHICAGO, November 14.—Many children in the audience leaned for- ward in their seats today to see their fairy story character, Jack, the Giant Killer, adventure on the grand opera stage. It was the world professional pre- miere of “Jack and the Beanstalk” as presented by the Chicago City Opera Co. with Maria Matyas as “Jack” and Raymond Middleton, the nephew of the noted singer, Arthur Middleton, as the “giant.” Grown-ups—folks John Erskine ap- parently meant in his libretto when he described it as “fairy opera for the child-like"—responded appreciatively. Many Curtain Calls Given. Numerous curtain calls were given the small cast of principals who, be- sides Miss Matyas and Middleton, in- cluded Lucia Diano of Joliet, Ill., “the princess,” and Janice Porter of Dallas, Tex., “the mother.” The golden-horned “singing cow,” whose bass voice was that of Mark Love, with Don Roberto bringing up the rear, was given a big hand. The opera of 3 acts and 13 scenes was sung in English—the language in which it was written—to music by Louis Gruenberg, a Chicagoan, who also wrote “Emperor Jones.” The conductor was Rudolph Ganz. This is the first time it was presented by a professional cast. It was first heard in New York when sung by students of the Julliard School of Music, of which Erskine is the head. Middleton’s Rise Rapid. A graduate of the University of Illinois in 1930, young Middleton's se- lection for the role of the “giant” is something of a fairy story itself. A successful singer of light opera, he was in New York rapping on the doors of grand opera managers hoping for a “break” when a rush call came from Chicago for him to step into the operatic shoes of Julius Huehn. Huehn, of the Metropolitan Opera Co., had been scheduled to sing the leading role in “Gianni Schicchi” and that of the “giant,” but he was sud- denly taken ill. Middleton made his grand opera debut last night in “Gianni Schicchi.” P.-T. A. TO HEAR TALK ON CHRISTMAS BOOKS Play by Pupils Also on Program at Takoma Park School Thursday.
