PEACE OF EUROPE SEEN AT MERCY OF INCIDENT Avoidance of War Believed Hinging on Runciman’s Efforts for Settlement. BACKGROUND— European war jears heightened in recent days by approach of Ger- man Army maneuvers in which it 1s reported 1,300,000 reservists have been called to the colors. Germany also has requisitioned trucks, buses end ‘other vehicles and is rushing completion of vast fortifications along French frontier. Highways being built toward Czechoslovakia also are reported being given temporary surfacing. Br the Associated Press. LONDON, Aug. 13. — Germany’s preparations for nation-wide military maneuvers have put other European ‘vowers on an unusually vigilant look- out to prevent anything which might lead to a swift Nazi stroke against Czechoslovakia. Reassuring reports, however, reached .European capitals from envoys in &nd around Germany. Moreover, Germany, in & Berlin press releasf’ today, sought to allay suspicion over the military exercises which are expected to reach their peak between September 9 and 14. ‘The press release, made available to all German newspapers by DNB, German official news agency, accused “interested foreign circles” of attempt- ing "“te stir up uneasiness in the European general public.” Staffs Kept Prepared. Nevertheless, the high government and military officials of other nations kept their staffs in a state of prepared- ness. Their chief fear was that some inci- dent might topple the delicately bal- anced peace structure of Europe. Closely linked with the fear was the fact that Germany’s whole economic life as well as military was on & war- time basis. itish . war office warned-sll Britons holding military rank that they must get sbecisl certificates in order to avoid “trouble” if and when they travel in Germany. This re- sulted from s recent German order to guard the secrets of her fortified rones. Crucial Period for Europe. All quarters recognized that Europe faced a crucial period in the next few weeks of summer, with peace possibly hinging upon Viscount Runciman’s ef- forts to work out a solution of the Czechoslovak-German minority quar- rel. The Viscount is Britain’s unofficial mediator in the long-standing friction between the Praha government and the 3,500,000 Sudeten German minor- ity—a minority among Europe's Ger- manic peoples whom Reichs-Fuehrer Adolf Hitler has vowed to ‘“protect from suffering.” The German maneuvers served as an ominous reminder of what form that “protectorate” might take ¥ Vis- courmt Runciman fails. Gold Bought Heavily. General anxiety was reflected in continued heavy buying of gold in London as a security against politi- cal-financial -developments. Sales to- day totaled £1,385,000 (about $6,748,- 000). The price reached 142 shillings © pence an ounce ($34.7774), & penny higher than yesterday. Prime Minister Chamberlain, who had returned on Tuesday from a Scot- land vacation, ostensibly in need of treatment for catarrh, remained at his official residence, No. 10 Downing street, to spend the week end ‘there in close touch with the continental situation. During the day in Paris French For- eign Minister Georges Bonnet con- ferred with R. I. Campbell, Charge d’Affaires of the British Embassy. Manifesto by Czechs, In London, importance was at- tached to a recent manifesto by Czech- oslovak military officers which de- clared there could be “no retreat” on the question of preserving Czechoslo- vak integrity. Although government quarters in both London and Paris sought to allay fear it was apparent that some of the optimism voiced by Mr. Chamberlain before Parliament went into its sum- mer recess had disappeared. Germany's continued press and radio campaign against Czechoslo- vakia, in addition to the forthcoming military demonstration, have de- tracted from Mr. Chamberlain’s July 26 assurances.

Four airmen man the four- motored, all-metal craft, which took off yesterday marning on the 3,950-mile return flight. Sy the Associated Press, BERLIN, Aug. 14 (Sunday).—The German airliner Brandenburg roared over Ireland at dawn today on her return non-stop flight from New York to Berlin. The big plane radioed she was passing over Clare, Ireland, at 4:40 am, Middle European time (10:40 pm,E 8. T). Clare is on the west coast of Ire- land and is approximately 900 miles from Berlin. In regular messages, the Branden- burg reported “all well.” At 6 pm. (midnight E. 8. T.) she reported she was flying above clouds at about 2,000 meters (6,560 feet) altitude with her motors performing perfectly, She did not give her location. ‘The all-metal plane, homeward bound on a round-trip flight between Berlin and New York, wirelessed its position at frequent intervals as it droned past Cape Race, Newfoundland, and swung out along the Great Circle route. MEDGALSOGETY SWARNEDBY .. Justice Unit ‘Expects’ End of ‘Coercion’—Promises Prosecution. BACKGROUND— 5 Group Health Association, center of national fight over co-operative medicine, has been held legal in District Court, dut three prominent physicians have entered suil to stop its “practice of medicine. With its surgeon barred from Washington hospitals, G. H. A. now plans to operate its own hospital. Department of Justice threatened fering with G. H. A, while holding out possidility of “consent decree.” (Pictures on Page B-1.) ‘The Justice Department expects the District Medical Bociety to “discon- tinue coercing qualified persons in the practice of their profession,” and in- tends to prosecute “anygfurther prac- tices of this kind,” Assistant Attorney General Thurman Arnold warned last night. Mr. Arnold, chief of the Depart- ment’s Anti-Trust Division, who re- cently threatened grand jury investi- gatiori of alleged monopolistic prac- tices of the Medical Society and the American Medical Association in their opposition to Group Health Associa- tion, Inc., sounded his latest warning in a letter to the society’s attorneys, George P. Hoover and Willlam E. Leahy. g ‘The Medical Society had made pub- lic earlier yesterday a letter from its attorneys to the Assistant Attorney General, denying the doctors or their organisation had participated in anti- trust activities. This statement brought sharp exception from Mr. Arnold. Meanwhile, the Group Health As- sociation was granted permission yes- terday by the Arlington County Board to operate a hospital on an estate of nearly 12 acres at- 4651 Twenty-fifth street North, overlooking the Potomac River. G. H. A. plans to purchase the estate. To Remodel Mansion. Blocked from having any of its 6,000 patients treated by its own surgeon in Washington hospitals, G. H. A. now plans to go ahead to remodel the big mansion on the site and equip a tem- porary hospital there. Willlam C. Kirkpatrick, G. H. A president, said the medic co- operative plans to build a large, mod- ern hospital there later, when suffi- cient funds are raised. The Medical Society attorneys, in their letter to the Justice Department, outlined the progress of negotiations over the disputed question of the society’s alleged violation of anti- trust laws by opposing G. H. A. activ- ities. After pointing out that the society had opened its records to an investi- gator from the Fedéral 'Bureau of Investigation, the physicians’ counsel wrote to Mr. Arnold: “At the conference with you on August 2 you stated that it was not the policy of the Department of Jus- tice to coerce any group for the of having them desist in any course in which they might have been engaged. Prosecution Promised. “This, of course,” replied Mr. Ar- nold, “is not our position. On the contrary, the principal purpose and the policy of the department. in prosecut- ing violations of the anti-trust laws is to compel the individuals or the group involved to desist from such vielations. ‘The p of any criminal penalty 18 its deterrent effect. “It may be that the statement’in your letter was only an error in phraseclogy.

Alfred Henke said he planned to fly 2,000 to 3,000 higher than on the westward passage in an attempt te beat the rec- ord of 25 hours, 45 minutes, estab- lished by the late Wiley Post on the first leg of his 'round-the-world flight in 1933. Members of the crew said they were confident the big land plane, which would sink quickly if forced down at sea, would set a new mark of 20 hours for the eastward flight to Berlin. Clear, bright skies prevailed in New York as 1,000 spectators watched the ship with its crew of four take off at 8:02 am, E. S T, at Floyd Bennett Field, and head into the morning sun. Powered by four motors, the plane gallons of oil and a supply of sand- wiches, coffee and chicken broth. According to calculations, the four airmen should arrive in Berlin in time for a pre-dawn breakfast, Two minor mishaps in landing—a split motor cowling and a leak in the hydraulic oil feed line—were repaired before the plane took off. Secretary of State Hull said today the flight of the German airliper Brandenburg to this country was a notable achievement and he expressed hope that the return flight would be a safe one. GEORGES RERY DUE TOHORRON Will Refer to Roosevelt| Speech as He Takes Stump in Georgia. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Aug. 13.—Senator Wal- ter F. George, Democrat, of Georgia takes the stump Monday for the first time since his unqualified acceptance | of the challenge in President Roose- velt's bid to defeat him. The gray-haired Senator declined today to disclose what he would say in the address to be broadcast (over 'WSB) at 11:30 a.m. (Eastern standard time) from Waycross in #eep South- east Georgia, but acknowledged there would be ‘“references” to the Presi- dent’s history-making speech at Barnesville last Thursday. Senator George, who has opposed several important administration bills, suavely teok up the gage of battle from his President and party chief on the Barnesville platform by shaking hands with Mr. Roosevelt and saying, “I accept the challenge.” 'Democratic voters will decide the winner Septem- ber 14. ‘That same night in Atlanta he told supporters “we’ve just begun to fight,” but beyond these two brief statements he has not disclosed what strategy he will pursue in fighting the prestige of the Chief Executive. Stresses Farm, Labor Vote. Thus far in his campaign Senator George has stressed his support of most of New Deal farm and labor leg- islation and has defended his fight against the Supreme Court reorgan- ization measure saying he “would do it again.” He voted also against the President’s key executive department reorganization and the original Wage- Hour Act. Several newspapers which are back- ing the Senator, including the Atlanta Constitution, carried news stories that Federal Government pressure was being brought to bear for Lawrence Camp, young United States district attorney indorsed by Mr Roosevelt for Benator George’s seat. Mr. Camp is campaigning as a 100 per cent New Dealer. The Senator expressed no fear, how- ever, that Federal officeholders could be successfully “lined up” against him. ““The vast majority of Federal office- holders in this State are men and WITH DAILY EVENING EDITION RUHLAND SEEKS 31 PCT.

K. Awaited. BACKGROUND— High mortality records of the District were cited by Dr. George C. Ruhland shortly after he became health oficer in support of in- creased appropriations for munici- pal health services. Considerable advance has been made in the past several years in reducing mor- tality rates, but, according to the recent survey made by the Public Health Service, great gaps still erist in the District's campaign against disease. By DON S. WARREN. Further major improvements to the District’s hospital facilities—in addition to construction projects cost- ing more than $2,000,000 that may be financed through the P. W. A— were urged yesterday by Health Officer George C. Ruhland in requesting 1940 appropriations totaling $3,160,792, an increase‘of 31 per cent over this year. Reports that the P. W. A. had given fAnal approval to construction projects costing $2,021,250 for expansion of the plants of Gallinger Hospital and the Tuberculosis Sanatoria at Glenn Dale, Md., were listed in the Health Department estimates, but both Dr. Ruhland and Budget Officer Daniel J. Donovan said they had not re- ceived the final O. K. from the P. W. A. on some items. Aside from P. W. A. plans, however, the Health Department sought $200,- 000 in regular appropriations for the starting of construction of new addi- tions to Gallinger Hospital to cost $715,000. These would include a new children's ward, four 2-family houses for staff physicians, an internes’ build- ing to house 80 physicians and new quarters for the hospital's laboratories. Pay Increase Asked. This would be in addition to some $1,225,000 of construction at Gallin- ger planned under the P. W. A. pro- gram, of which a new general medical ward buildin galready has been pro- vided under formal contracts entered into between the Commissioners and Administrator Ickes. In addition to this $200,000 item, however, the regular 1940 estimates submitted by Dr. Ruhland call for expansion of nearly all of the various divisions of the Health Department, involving employment of some 400 extra workers, granting of pay in- creases to many of the present staff and provision of some new equipment. The record shows the Commissioners have forwarded to the P. W. A. re- quests for $880,000 of improvements to the Glenn Dale Sanatorium. Unofficial reports received by the District were that the P. W. A. had “approved” items calling for the following: Construction of a 200-bed addition to the adult building, $450,000; con- struction of an addition to the sewage disposal plant, needed to prevent an “‘extreme emergency” in case of failure of the present plant, $20,000; con- struction of an additional nurses’ home, $175,000; for quarters for the resident staff, $96,250, and for im- provements to grounds, $55,000. It was reported that for Gallinger Hospital the P. W. A. has given ap- proval to the following: A 300-bed medical ward, a 200-bed tuberculosis ward, remodeling of one of the exist- ing buildings, an addition to the boiler plant, an addition to the nurses home and miscellaneaus items, all totaling $1,225,000. The grand total sought by the Health Department for Gallinger Hos- pital would total $1,245,560, as against $800,360 granted for this year.

Soap Box Champion Is Set for Biggest Test Today Norman Rocca Covers Akron Downs Course in 32 Seconds in Special Safety Test Before Actual Running of Big Race With 111 Others. By ROBERT A. ERWIN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. AKRON, Ohio, Aug. 13.—Norman Rocea, 14-year-old Washington Soap Box Derby champion, shot down the 1,178-foot course at Akron's ‘Derby Downs today in 32 seconds for his special safety test run in preparation for tomorrow’s fifth annual All-Amer- ican Soap Box Derby. v His car tuned up to its fastest pace, Norman expects to make better time in the competition with 111 other boy champions from the United States, Canada, Hawaii and the Canal Zone for international honors. Winner of the Washington derby, sponsored - by the District American Legion, Chevrolet dealers and The Star, Norman will speed down the concrete lane tomorrow with two other contestants from other cities in one of the initial heats, The weather forecast was for clear skies and continued cool breezes, indi- cating much better racing conditions than when Norman won the Washing- ton race in the rain.

U WILL WIDEN JOB FINGERPRINTS Is First Step in Tightening Examination Procedure in Civil Service. BACKGROUND— Improvements in civil service long havs been advocated by those concerned with government ad- ministration, and the issue be- came of particular importance when the advent of the New Deal saw thousands of positions filled by political appointments. Rebufled in an eflort to make widespread changes through the reorganization bill, President Roosevelt in June tssued two executive orders de- signed to eflect reforms for which legislation is not needed. By J. A. FOX. The Civil Service Commission is | preparing to extend the application of fingerprint tests as a prerequisite to Government employment. In a statement last night which forecast general tightening of examin- ing procedure, the commission pointed out that heretofore—with the excep- tion of law enforcement positions— fingerprint investigation has post- dated appointment “with the result that eligibles have sometimes been appointed and subsequently removed from service because of the evidence disclosed by the investigation.” It is to correct this condition that “wherever practicable” the commis- sion now proposes to apply both character and physical tests before an applicant is certified for appointment. 8o far as concerns the physical exam- inations, however, it was made clear that the commission does not feel any change will have material effect on appointments, because s0 many physi- cal disabilities are not employment handicaps. The commission’s new examination program is being drafted in con- formity with the civil service reform program instituted by President Roose- velt in his two orders of June 24, and the extent to which it will be carried out, it was explained, is dependent entirely on the appropriations which Congress sees fit to make for the work. Will Hold Interviews. A principal change .contemplated will revise the procedure in non- assembled tests, which are based on education and experience. These are to ‘be bolstered with oral interviews and, in some instances, written exam- ination. In this connection, the commission, by implication, replied to criticism that the “preliminary competitive rating” prescribed by the President’s order to weed out applicants with insufficient experience would act as a barrier to aspirants who could qualify for the positions. The positions affected gen- erally are in the administrative upper brackets. “In the past,” the commission said, “in many examinations, the only rating given has been based on the education and experience of the applicants. “Those with the highest ratings re- ceived consideration for appointment, while vast quantities of ‘eligibles’ further down on a register were never reached for certification and received no consideration for appointment. Ap- plicants like those under the old pro- cedure who had no chance of appoint- ment by reason of an experience rating not sufficiently high to result in cer- tification, will lose nothing under the new procedure. They would not be considered @or or receive appointment in any event. Those, however, who have high ratings, to a number com- mensurate with the needs of the serv- ice, will have a further opportunity to demonstrate that they are better qualified than their experience state- ment indicates. No one who had any chance for consideration under the old rules will lose that chance under the new rules; many will gain addi- tional consideration. More Thorough Examinations. “And this is the important point— it will be economically possible to give far more thorough examinations than heretofore because the numbers sub- Ject to such further tests will be lim- ited to those who have some reasonable chance of being appointed.” Until the commission knows how much money will be available, it is not even guessing publicly how much ter- ritory the revised procedure will cover —either for the non-assembled tests or the fingerprinting investigations. The commission gesterday an- nounced an examin: for first as- sistant physician — psychiatrist — at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital, for which spplicants will be rated on education 4 il Associated Press. Every FIVE CENTS IN WASHINGTON AND SUBURBS [l TN LIBERAL DEMOCRA Blood-Red Water Off Pacific Coast Puzzles Scientists By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.— Scientists are pondering over mysterious blood-red stretches of ‘water appearing along the Pacific Coast in the past several weeks. Early in June off La Jolla, home of the Scripps Institute of Ocean- ography, the blood-like condition of the water became so dense it interfered with fishing sctivities. The eaffected area was estimated at 25 to 30 miles long and 5 to 10 miles wide. Similar coloring was noted May 15 off Seaside, Wash, and off Copalis Beach, north of Gray's Harbor, the day before. W. E. Allen, assistant professor of biology at Scripps Institute, is studying the phenomena. He is assuming the cause is the presence of vast masses of microscopic marine organisms, about which much is still to be learned. MEXICAN AIRLINER IS FOUND BURNED Wreckage Is Sighted From Air in Veracruz—Ground Parties on Way. MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13 (#).—The burned wreckage of & missing Com- pania Mexicana de Aviacion airliney was sighted late today in s deep mountain gorge near the southeastern Gulf Coast of Mexico. The 11 persons aboard when the liner disappeared yesterday in a se- vere storm were all believed to have been killed. Capt. Luis Boyer, chief of pilots for the airline, reported the plane was found about four miles from Apalapan in the Tuxtlas Mountains of Vera Cruz State. The ship was directly on its route from Villa Hermosa to Mexico City when it plunged into the gorge. Ground parties were organized and started immediately toward the scene, about 4 miles east northeast of Tlacotalpam, on Alvarado Bay in Southeastern Mexico. The country in the vicinity is mountainous, with numerous risky gorges making it difficult to negotiate the distance. An airways official said he believed all the passengers were Mexicans ex- cept one who was booked as Eugene Carlson. His address was not known. ‘The report that the wreckage had been sighted was the first word of the plane since its radio became silent at noon yesterday after reporting it was encountering rough weather. .

ARREST FORECAST SOON IN SLAYING Police Find Car Used by Trio to Take Dead Man to Hospital. FINAL BULLETIN, A 22-year-old youth was arrested shortly after 2 am. today by Homicide Squad detectives in connection with the slaying of George Edward Sanford. He was being held at the fifth precinct on an open charge. Police at head- quarters understood a second man was arrested shortly afterward. Arrest within a few hours of the three youths who fled Children's Hospital early yesterday after leaving a mortally wounded companion in the emergency room was forecast last night by Acting Chief of Detectives Ira E. Keck, a few hours after the automobile in which the three are believed to have left the hospital was found abandoned. Spurred by discovery of the car near Anacostia road and M street SE, the homicide squad—nearly every member of which had been working on the case all day—intensified its search for the three in connection with the slay- ing of George Edward Sanford, 20, of 1213 K street SE. Sanford, killed by a8 small caliber bullet which pierced his heart, appar- ently had died a few minutes before his companions took him to the hos- pital. Detectives have the names of the three wanted youths. The mother of one was sald by investigating officers to be the owner of the abandoned car. Find No Blood Stains. Police found no blood stains, bullet holes or any other marks about the machine to indicate violence. They later examined the car for finger- prints, The shooting resulting in Sanford's | death occurred several hours after he | was believed to have attended a dance at the Young Men's Christian As- sociation. The dance was over at 11 p.m. Fri- day, a short time before a free-for- all fight began at the nearby corzer of Eighteenth and G streets N.-W., in- | volving about 75 youths. " Companion Wounded. Young Sanford was taken uncon- scious to the hospital at 3 am. yes- terday by two youths who left a third in their car, double-parked out front. One of the youths who sntered the hospital had a bullet hole through his hand and said he and his wounded friend had been shot by & colored man during a hold-up. They left despite efforts of Nurse Zula Cobb to get them to remain un- til police arrived. Another mysterious angle, on which detectives said they were working last night, was supplied by Elgin Smith, who said he heard a car drive into an alley at the rear of his home at 4511 Iowa avenue N.W., shortly before,3 am. yesterday. Several men began conversing, he said, and one com- mented: “George, we’ve got to get this guy to the hospital.” Police found blood stains, a straw hat and an empty pocketbook in the alley. Unknown New Guinea Natives Found by Archbold Expedition Discovery of a large and hitherto unknown native population east of Lake Habbema, in the interior of Dutch New Guinea, is reported in this dispatch from the leader of the 1938 New Guinea ezpedition. Mr. Archbold, research associate of the Department of Mammals, American Museum of Natural His- tory, and the members of his ez- pedition expect to spend about two years in a study of mammals, birds and plants in New Guinea. Mr. Archbold is a nephew of Mrs. Anne Archbold, prominent Washington woman. HOLLANDIA, Dutch New Guinea, Aug. 13 (By Radio, N. A. N. A)— Over a period of 10 days, 110 men and 30 tons of supplies and equip- ment were transported approximately 180 miles into the unexplored inte- rior of New Guinea by the twin-mo- tored flying boat Guba of the Arch- bold New Guinea Expedition, which is now at work in the little known sec- tions of this large island. The air- plane is the ome in which your cor- b4 - respondent and five companions crossed the Pacific Ocean from San Diego, Calif,, to Hollandia early in June. Considering the rugged and unex- plored jungle and the mountainous country in which the airplane is op- erating, the transporting of so large a party and its supplies without an accident in 20 short a time is thought to be something of & record. Two advance camps have been es- tablished, one of 60 men on the Iden- burg River, about 125 miles northwest of the base camp at Hollandia, and the second of 110 men about 70 miles further south on the shores of Lake Habbema, a small mountain lake sit- uated near the center of the island at an altitude of approximately 11,000 feet. The latter part of July an exploring party of 24 men left the Idenburg River camp on foot to work their way through the mountains and investi- gate the country which had previously been seen from the air.

S, DIES INTIMATES Promises More Sensational Testimony in Probe of Subversive Moves. FREY WILL GO BACK ON STAND TOMORROW Will Show How Communists Won Control of New York Teachers’ Union, He Declares. By JAMES E. CHINN. “Further disclosures of Nazi, Com- munist and other subversive influences in the United States, described as more sensational than those of the last two days, were promised last mnight by Chairman Dies of the special House committee investigating un-American activities. Even before the committee resumes the inquiry tomorrow at 10:30 am., Representative Dies intimated there would be a development that would “startle” the country. He refused to reveal its nature. John P. Frey, a leader in the Ameri can Federation of Labor, who yester= day charged before the committee that John L. Lewis' rival organization, the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion, was infested with Communists, 1s scheduled to continue his testimony when the investigation is resumed. “When I return to the witness stand,” Mr. Frey declared, “I will show how the Communists gained control of the Teachers’ Union in New York City and name the men responsible.” To Tell of Soviet Moves. His testimony thus far has concerned the activities of Communists in “boring from the inside” into the ranks of American labor, and their efforts to win the friendship of both the Catholic and Protestant churches. Now, he said, he plans to show how Soviet Rus= sia has attempted to spread propa- ganda in the educational institutions of the Nation. Mr. Frey, who is head of the metal trades department of the A. F. of L., charged at the outset of his testimony that 280 Communist party members were, or had been, on C. I. O. pay rolls as organizers and officials, and gave the committee a list of 60 others high in C. 1. O. ranks, who, he said, were Communists or closely linked with Communism. The A. F. of L. leader told the com- mittee that before he completes his testimony he will submit the names of 230 more Communist voluntesrs in C. I O. affliates. ™y Chairnan Dies said the entire mem- bership list of the. Communist Party in America would be produced before the committee. “We have the photostat copies of all membership cards containing names and finger prints,” he said. “They run into the thousands.” He did not disclase how the com- mittee procured the documents. Testifies Four Hours. After completing four hours of tes- timony, the A. F. of L. leader waved an unlighted cigar with emphasis, and said: “I've only skimmed the surface.” Despite allegedly the inroads Com- | munists have made in the C. L. O, | Mr. Frey said, “in all fairness to the majority of the membership, they are not Communists, and they are opposed to Communism. “And ‘in fairness’ to Chairman John L.
