German discussions.
Dead Timber
Freed for Fuel
WASHINGTON. Dec. 6 -(JP)
The government issued emerg
ency regulations tonight permit
ting collection of dead or down
timber from 400.090,000 acres of
public domain.
The order by the interior de
partment's bureau of land man
agement swept aside regulations
requiring permits for the cutting
of small amounts of timber on
public lands for domestic pur
poses. The action followed reports
from Colorado and Utah of crit
ical coal shortages and a heavy
. demand for firewood.
The order will mean little to

Secret 1931 Documents Recall
Warnings of Winston Churchill
By Roger D. Greene
WASHINGTON, Dec. (MA) -Thirteen years after her defeat in
World War I. Germany was conducting secret military preparations
and balked at scrapping her pocket battleship program even on the
brink of national bankruptcy.
This wat disclosed by the state department today m publishing
for the first time, after the usual 15-year lapse, many confidential
documents on United States for- I
eign policy m 1931. That was the j
year of the Hoover moratorium on ;
world debts, the Polish Corridor
controversy and the lengthening
of Hitler's shadow over Europe.
Behind-the-scenes glimpses of j
that year's historic events as J
shown by the state, department's
volume, depict a Germany teeter- .
ing between Hitlerism and com- j
munism, smouldering bitterly un
der the restraints of the Ver-
sailles treaty , and coldly aloof to
proposals of disarmament.
No Anns Limits
'Germany has served notice
that any limitation of land arma
ments
will afford her no m-
centive to be a party to
the
treaty, wrow nugn uiusuu, ....... i
man OI me menc-au ucicjaviun

the preparatory commission for tivities aides gaid today. '
disarmament conference, in a
on
the disarmament
dispatch to Secretary of State
Henry L. Stimson.
"There is a considerable possi
bility that a treaty on land arma
ments . . . would be used by Ger
many to justify precipitating the
whole question of revising the
military clauses of the Versailles
treaty." ,
Eveni n those days more than
o vr hfnre Hitler's rise to
power the fiery eloquence of
Winston Churchill was ringing
out in warning against Germany.
Cites Charehilfs Opinion
I Thus, on September 16. 1931, a
dispatch to Stimson from U. S.
Ambassador Charles G. Dawes
in London cited Churchill's opin
ion that "England has descended
into a position of unpreparedness
and insecurity such as it naa
never previously experienced,
(and) that Germany and Russia
were putting themselves into a
position of superior preparation."
- The dispatch went on to say
that "Mr. Churchill may be con
sidered the self-appointed spokes
man of the 'give-noquarter' fire
eaters" and "his militant views
are not generally shared either by
the leaders in the three political
parties or by the English public
as a whole."
"The usual comment on Church
ill's theories, is that they might
have worked in the days of i
Marlborough, his ancestor, and I
Wellington, but that they are de-
cidedly out of date in 1931," ,
Dawes' message said.

PORTLAND. Ore. Dec. 6-0P-Roy
Hawkins. 188. Portland,
knocked out Jack Huber, 198, San
Francisco, in the ninth round of a
scheduled ten-round main event
boxing bout here tonight. The ac
tion was slow, both fighters miss
ing often and landing mostly light
blows. In the sixth Hawkins, be
hind on points, struck a glancing
blow that cut a gash on Huber
brow and apparently broke his
nose.
Boxing commissioners examin
ed Huber before the start of the
ninth round, then ordered the
fight to continue. Forty seconds
later Huber went down before a
hard right to the jaw. He raised
to one knee at the count of one,
but got no farther.

because McKeel had refused to
accompany the Bearcat football
team to Walla Walla for the final
game of the year against Whit-

One source said an appeal on
MeKeel's behalf might be placed

East Coast
Site for U.N.
LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.. Dec. 6
-iPpThe United States broke its
long silence on choice of a loca
tion for United Nations headquar
ters today with a flat endorse
ment of the east coast and thus
moved Philadelphia into a fore
front position in the battle over
a permanent peace capital site.
The American decision, made ui
top level after President Tru
man met with his cabinet in
Washington, was announced to
the 54-nation headquarters com
mittee of Warren R. Austin, chief
United States -delegate.
Austin did not specify whether
he favored Philadelphia, New
York or Boston the three east
ern seaboard cities inspected by
a , special sub-committee but
made it clear that he was against
San Francisco's Presidio, the
only west coast site in the run
ning. The United States position was
wrapped up in this terse state
ment: "The United States is not for
establishing headquarters on the
west coast. The United States is
for headquarters on the Atlantic
coast"

South Yorkshire
Youth Falls 775
Feet, Breaks Leg
COLDTHORPE, South York
shire, England, Dec. 8-P)-Falling
775 feet down the shaft of a mine
pit is something like "falling out
of bed in your sleep," 15-year-old
Charles Wilfred Carter said today.
Charles, a pitboy, was found
today with a fractured leg, but
otherwise very much alive on top
of an elevator cage at the bottom
of a 1554-foot shaft in the Barn
borough main colliery near here.
"It was like a dream," Charles
said in an interview with a re
porter for the London Daily Her
ald. "The square of light at the
top of the shaft grew smaller and
smaller."
The miracle of Charles' escape
from almost certain death lay in
the fact that he caught up with ,
the descending elevator cage j
about halfway down the shaft af
ter falling clear for about 775 ,
feet, thus accomplishing some
thing like a parachutist's delayed
action drop. '

PORTLAND, Dec. 6 --The

against something quite remote:
the northwest holly industry.
Ambrose Brownell, a major
holly grower, dismissed 100 em

boxes. Ho hazarded a guess that
