(AP) A Danzig customs officer shot and killed a Polish soldier today near the Danzig frontier village of Postelau and angered officials of the Polish commission declared grimly tonight they 'would demand satisfaction from the nazi-controlled free city. i One Polish official said: "My government has not yet acted formally but it would seem O that we will not be appeased by a mere apology in mis case. The fatal shooting also irritated the Danzig nazi authorities, and heightened the tension along the uneasy frontier with Poland. More men from Daniig'i strengthened police force were sent to border points. The Pole, whose name was giv en here as Vitold Budziewicz, was shot by Max Stein, a Danzig cus toms inspector. The Danzig and Polish versions of what happened still were far apart tonight. . The Danzig story was that the Pole had aimed his rifle at the customs officer from a distance of 50 feet and that the latter, on Danzig soil, fired "in indisputable self defense."

Auras Plant Life Believed Viewed As Mars Swings Near Earth BLOEMFOXTEIN, i Union of South Africa, July 20-4P)-Strong evidence that plant life exists on Mars was advanced today by Dr. Earl C.

Slipher, brother of the director of the Lowell observatory at Flag staff, Ariz., reported clearing wea ther enabled him last night to take tie first successful color pic tures of Mars.

Went worth, Portland, when he re marked I don't think we have time to fool with those places that do not obey the law. Wentworth and Commissioners J. N. Chambers, Salem, and Low ell Stockman, Pendleton, revoked two beer and wine licenses, grant ed 10, suspended five and refused 12 at their first regular business session. : Chambers' opposition to grant ing gasoline service stations beer licenses was accepted as a general rule by the commission.

No - action was taken at the morning session to retain or re place the holdover administrator. Otto Runte. son, tne royal . astronomical so ciety's Martian authority, declared Dr. Sllpher's studies undoubtedly would result in greater knowledge about vegetation on Mars .and should remove " any remaining doubt that the theory of man made canals on Mars is anything but "sheer poppycock.) Slipher and many other noted astronomers are in the southern hemisphere to observe the planet. On July 27, Mars will swing the closest it has been to the earth in 15 years only 36,000.000 miles away.

B. S. Haldane, who teBted the effects of foul air In a sealed chamber and concluded it was unpleasant but not torture, today suggested a new theory why 89 men failed to escape from the submarine Thetis. At a special inquiry Into the disaster Haldane said the sudden transfer from foul air in the sub marine to the escape chamber, while breathing the oxygen of the Davis escape apparatus, might have been too much for the men. If the men had breathed oxy gen from tanks for about 45 mi nutes before entering the escape chamber they might have escaped without difficulty, he theorized. Haldane. descTiblnr his use or the Davis lung upon being freed from an airtight steel cylinder resembling the escape chamber, said: . , ., - -r '--1-' "For a minute or two I breath ed Quite calmly and happily, then I was seized with vomiting. I do not say that I had to take the ap paratus off but I did take it on." He said he thought the men in the Thetis attempting to escape with the lungs may have experi enced similar symptoms, torn off their apparatus mouthpieces and drowned. Haldane's conclusion was that tbe men who died might have had severe headaches before losing conciousnesa but that the experi ence could not be called torture.

Puts Federal Enrol oy es ou t OfC Many Provisions Cut out hy House Judiciary Are Restored Coalition Has Strucele Before Measure Is i Voted 242-133 WASHINGTON. July 20.-4PV- A The house passed the Hatch bill tonight after a bi-partisan coali tion had scored victories in what they called their effort to restore the teeth to the measure banning "politics in relief and barring federal employes from political campaigns. During a long-drawn struggle, the determined . coalition of re publicans and democrats restored many provisions which were ia the measure as it passed the sen ate weeks ago but which were la ter stricken out by the house: Ju diciary committee after President Roosevelt bad objected-that tbe measure was badly drawn. The speaker announced the house vote on final passage was 242 to 133. The measure now goes back to the senate for action on certain amendments. - Led by Rep. Dempsey (D-NM), the coalition got the house to ap prove a provision forbidding a vast army of federal office holders to participate in national political conventions or other po litical activity. Must Not Participate la Campaigns The section declares that, with the exception of the president: a few other officials, persons in tbe executive branch of the govern ment must not use their official authority to influence an election, and must not take part in. "po litical management or political campaigns." The standing vote of 127 ta 103 went a long way to reatorlua the Hatch bill to, the form in which It passed the senate weeks ago. Subsequent to senate pas sage, President Roosevelt and oth er administration men criticized it as badly drawn and the house judiciary committee altered It in such a way that its sponsors raised the cry that it had been "emascu lated." A number of administration leg islators fought doggedly tonight tor the house committee's version. They Insisted that the senate bill, was so loose and so broad that it" would prevent members of con gress, for example, from running for re-election. Congressmen Exempted To meet the latter objection, Rep. Dempsey wrote into his sec tion approved tonight a clause specifically exempting members of congress from the bill's provi sions. . Just before the vote, Represes- : tatlve Parsons (D-111) was ruled out of order when he offered an amendment to prevent newspapers from accepting money for political advertisements or to permit them or periodicals from expressing an opinion regarding political candi dates. Nettled by the republican solid arity on the measure, two demo crats offered facetious amend- -ments which rolled up a surpris ing vote. Earlier, at the urging of Ren. Mott (R-Ore), tbe house voted to delete from the bill, rs presented by the judiciary committee, a sec tion saying that administrative employes of the government hare the right to "participate In the ac tivities of political party." j . This too was a victory for tbe bit-partisan bloc bent on passing the bill in substantially the form It came from tbe senate. .
