A—4 ww Americans in Poland Without Diplomatic Contact by Nazi Order Consular Officials Leave Warsaw Under Protest From U. S. By GARNETT D. HORNER. A German order forcing American consular officials to leave Warsaw under protest isolated an estimated 532 American citizens in occupied Poland from direct diplomatic pro- tection today. The State Department, which made unavailing representations in Berlin against the evacuation order, announced that “this Government has reserved all of its rights in the matter.” The American consul and two vice consuls in Warsaw were understood to have left yesterday for Berlin to report to the American Embassy. which will handle all matters in connection with American citizens in Poland “for the present.” The German government decided some time ago to evacuate all for- eign diplomatic and consular repre- sentatives from the section of Poland it has occupied and fixed yesterday as the deadiine for their departure, the State Department said. Representations made_ through the American Embassy in Berlin against the order stressed “the dif- ficulty of rendering assistance and protection to American citizens without consular representation in Warsaw,” the department an- nouncement late yesterday ex- plained, adding: “The German government, how- ever, took the position that all for- eign diplomatic and consular officers must withdraw.” Such evacuation has the effect of making Germany the sole source of official information on conditions in the occupied Polish area. According to dispatches received here, Ger- many is refusing to permit Amer- ican and other foreign newspaper- men to enter Poland. Similar conditions prevail in that section of Poland occupied by Rus- sia. This Government never main- tained consular offices in this area, however, and few American citizens are believed remaining there. Secretary of State Hull said yes- terday that progress is being made in efforts to arrange with Germany for an adequate number of Ameri- can relief workers to enter the Ger- man sector of Poland to supervise the distribution of relief supplies contributed from the United States. Foreign relief workers are not al- lowed in the area occupied by Rus- Bla. The American consular officers leaving Warsaw yesterday were Cnnsul George J. Haering, a native of New York City, and Vice Consuls Carl Birkeland, a naturalized Amer- ican who was born in Norway, and William R. Morton, a native of New Ulm, Minn ‘The Polish government, which re- tired from Warsaw in the face of German invasion last fall, has set up a provisional capital at Angers, France, where American Ambassa- dor Anthony J. Drexel Biddle main- tains contact with it. The American Consulate General in Warsaw remained open until just before the fall of Warsaw, the three officers who left for Berlin yester- | day returning to Warsaw soon after German occupation. Politics (Continued From First Page.) the Associated Press. Mr. Farley's name has been entered in the Bay State presidential primary on April 30 and a slate of delegates pledged to him put up for consideration of | the voters. Democratic State Chairman Wil- liam Burke, to whom Mr. Farley gave permission to enter his name, after announcing that a slate of Farley supporters would be entered in the primary, added that the Democratic delegation, even if pledged to Mr. run. Patrick A. Doyle, vice chairman of the State Committee and a member of the Farley slate of delegates, gave the first reaction to the Farley announcement. He said: “Mr. Farley's clearcut statement | has clarified my position. As a dele- | gate to the convention, I propose to vote to nominate Mr. Farley until he releases me. That vote will be cast for Mr. Farley, regardless of who is in the field, and that includes President Roosevelt, for whom I have a high regard.” Speculation Rises. This declaration immediately caused speculation as to whether other members of the slate would follow Mr. Doyle’s lead. In any event, it appeared that Mr. Farley would go to the convention with nearly all of Massachusetts’ 34 votes pledged to him on the basis of the original Burke filing, since the slate daughter’s schoolmates.

LOCHNER, Associated Press Forelgn Correspondent. BERLIN, March 21.—Germany turned her eyes eastward today in expectation of an important step bringing Moscow closer to the Rome-Berlin axis, particularly for co-ordinating Balkan policies of the three powers. Russian Ampoassador Alexander Shkhartzeff flew by plane to Mos- cow, inspiring conjecture that he was carrying an important message to Joseph Stalin and Premier-For- eign Commissar Molotoff. Common Denominator Sought. Rumors presisted in Berlin that a milestone in Russian relations with the-axis would be marked not later than tomorrow as a result of Ger- man diplomatic efforts to find a common denominator for Russian- German-Italian foreign policy. ‘The German press busily prepared the German public for Russia’s joining her political interests with those of Germany and Italy and considerable publicity was given a reception held in Moscow Sunday by German Ambassador Coun{ Fried- rich Werner von der Schulenburg in honor of Molotoff. Some took the reception as a pos- sible curtain-raiser for a visit by Molotoff to Berlin, but the German foreign office declined to comment on such speculation. Likewise they refused comment on persistent re- ports that Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano was coming to Beriin to meet Molotoff gnd Ger- man Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop. x Italo-Soviet. Relations Cold. One principal aim seemed to be ironing out of any differences’ be- tween Russia and Italy, whose rela- tions have been markedly cold in the political field. The widely read Frankfuiter Zei- tung in a front-page article from its Rome correspondent reported in effect that the Italian press and public opinion were taking a more favorable view of Russia. The article spoke of “the paral- lelism of the interests of Germany, Italy and Russia with reference to the pivotal decisive question of pol- itics in the Southeast” and said that the interests of the three powers in that section of Europe were by no means incompatible.

Segall, Salisbury chiropo- dist convicted of violating the State Corrupt Practices Act in last spring’s 1st district Democratic congres- sional campaign, was sentenced to- day to six months in the House of Correction and fined $500 and costs. Sentence was pronounced in Cir- cuit Court by Chief Judge Benjamin A, Johnson, who presided yesterday at Dr. Segall’s trail on charges he promised a monetary bribe in an effort to influence the outcome of the special Eastern Shore election. His attorneys immediately went into conference to determine whether to appeal the verdict. Dr. Segall was convicted by a Circuit Court jury yesterday on four counts of promising money to a Wicomico County Democratic | central committeeman “for the pur- pose of inducing him to vote” for State Senator Dudley G. Roe for the first district congressional nom- ination at the party convention last May Guilty on Four Counts. The* chiropodist specifically was found guilty of four counts of prom- ising money to Committeeman Al- bert Coulbourne. On four other counts of “offering” money, he was acquitted.

NEW YORK nesses relate ramifications of the pre-convention campaign and con- ferences, in which Mr. Roe and David J. Ward—subsequently nomi- nated and elected to tH® congres- sional post—figured. A high light of the trial came at the close when Attorney Curtis Long, defending Dr. Segall, asserted “the wrong man is being prosecuted in this case.” “They were laying a trap conceivea in Baltimore,” Mr. Long said. “I've got a right to say it was done by Howard Bruce and the Miles boys (Clarence and Hooper 8. Miles), both Bruce lieutenants, and I don’t know whether the Governor was in it or not—but Segall has a letter from him calling him ‘Dear Albert.’” “They wanted to get somebody to bribe somebody,” he said. “Why?
