By LYLE C. WILSON
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. (U.B
Navy yards and diplomats are
developing the substance of Presi
dent Roosevelt's "continental de
fense" program for the western
hemisphere today.
Secretary of State Hull will sail
from New York Nov. 25 at the head
of the American delegation to the
Pan-American conference which
will convene at Lima, capital of
Peru, Dec. 9.
First protest against the Pan
American defense program came
today from seven pacifist groups
which charged that Mr. Roosevelt's
program was an invitation to
world armaments race. Among
the protesting organizations were
the National Council for Preven'
tion of War, the Women's Inter
national League for Peace and
Freedom and the Keep America
Out of War Committee.
Mr. Roosevelt, however, Is con
fident there will be no "defec
tions" from the "continental de
tense" plan. It already has been
welcomed in Canada. The Lima
conference will be the occasion for
Hull and his co-delegates to shape
the foundation of a mutual defen
sive structure in the new world
Preparing to Spend
On the home front, the war and
navy departments are preparing to
spend more money In the next year
than any previous administration
has thought necessary for defense
purposes since the World war.
It is likely that Mr. Roosevelt
will ask congress for $1,500,000,000
for defense in the budget message
to ' be submitted during the first
week of January.
Coincident with extension of
United States defensive responsi
bilities to all parts of the western
hemisphere, including Canada, the
army is expected to get a larger
share of the defense money ration.
Naval construction will con
tinue. The navy ordered three
new 35.000-ton battleships over
the weekend and a fourth prob
ably shortly will be contracted for.
Five battleships now are building
or contracted for, the first of the
big fellows undertaken by the
United States since the Washing
ton arms conference.
Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
of naval operations, in his annual
report to the secretary of the navy
today, said that completion of the
naval expansion program now un
der way would give the United
States a fighting fleet second to
none.
Alaskan City Lashed
By Terrific Gales
' NOME, Alaska, Nov. 21. OI.fi)
Gales,- lashing the waterfront for

With Nome facing directly on

Thurston Boy Is
Fatally Shot
Czech Frontier
Again Attacked;
Poles Involved
Danger of Conflict
Said Increasing in
Central Europe
An accidental discharge from
a .shot-gun which his brother
was cleaning fatally wounded
Leo Fox, 15-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. H. Fox of Thurston,
Sunday afternoon. The acci
dent occurred about 3:30 o'clock
shortly after the boys had re
turned from a duck hunting trip,
Kenneth Fox, brother of Leo,
was cleaning the gun when it
exploded. The . boy was brought
to the Sacred , Heart hospital.
where he died early Monday
morning.
Leo Fox was one of a family
of five brothers who played on
the Thurston B league basket
ball team. The funeral arrange
ments will be announced from
the Branstetter-Simon chapel.
The youngster was the smaller
member of thefamily of 6-foot-ers,
all of whom have entered
the University of Oregon. Leo

was a member of the Thurston
hoop aggregation. He was a sub
stitute on the Thurston team
that proved to be the most
popular quintet in the 1937 stale
tournament at Salem.
VIENNA, Nov. 21. U. The
danger of armed conflict over
Czechoslovakia's eastern frontier,
involving Hungary and Poland and
possibly Germany and Italy, in
creased today as new incidents
occurred.
It was officially announced In
Prague that Czech frontier guards
had repulsed a band of Polish ir
regulars who crossed the frontier
into the Czech province of Ru-
thenia. One Pole was killed.
Both Poland and Hungary were
reported to be prepared to march
into Ruthenia and eastern Slo
vakia at a moment's notice. Both
nations have been reinforcing
frontier troops.
Observers believed that if the
situation grew dangerous, Adolf
Hitler and Benito Mussolini would
take a strong stand.
Occupation of eastern Czecho.
Slovakia by Hungary or Poland
or both would constitute a loss
of prestige to Italy. For Germany
it would be a loss of prestige
and would also threaten to close
the road to the Black sea.
Frequent clashes were reported
in the region of Feketepatak and
a growing "uprising" was reported
in the mountainous regions fur
ther within Ruthenia.
The reports said three incidents
had occurred in which groups of
Hungarian irregulars crossed the
Ruthenian frontier and clashed
with Czech defense troops includ
ing gendarmerie, police and cus
toms guards.'
Four Hungarians were reported
to have been killed and several
were .taken prisoner. -The Hun
garians were forced to withdraw,
the reports said.
At Prague, the government said
that at least six persons had been
killed In border clashes with Pol
ish and Hungarian "terrorists."
But the government denied that
there had been an uprising In
Ruthenia.

By The Associated Press
Prime Minister Chamberlain to
day outlined to the House of Com
mon! broad plans to resettle Ger
man Jews in British Guiana and
in Tanganyika, formerly German
East Africa.
The project envisaged the leas
ing of at least 10,000 square miles
in British Guiana for homes for
Jews seeking refuge abroad from
the anti-Jewish drive in Gcrmanv.
That drive for the first time gave
signs of abatement after eleven
days.
Tanganyika Is held at present by
Britain under a league of nations
mandate. Chamberlain last week
asserted that his government was
not considering its return to Ger
many to satisfy the "colonial de
mands of Adolf Hitler.
In - the reich "concessions" to
German Jews included permission
for resuming some cultural activi
ties and. It was said- authoritative
ly, for some Jews to continue their
export businesses.
Arrests, which according to Jew
ish estimates have sent 60,000 Jew
ish men to prisons and concentra
tion camps, were ended, at least
temporarily.
The National Zeitung of Essen,
Field Marshal Hermann Wilhelm
Goering's newspaper, declared
Germany was helping orderly emi
gration of Jews but foreign na
tions, particularly the United
Stales and Great Britain, were ot
structing these efforts.
May Not Agree '.
The issue between France and
Great Britain concerned military
cooperation in the event of war
In - Europe. Indications Britain
would refuse to train a large army
to aid French troops on the con
tinent seemed likely to lessen the
cordiality of the forthcoming dis
cussions in Paris, which will deal
chiefly with defense against pos
sible attack by the fascist partners,
Italy and Germany,
A foreign ornce spoxesman in
Tokyo indicated Japan might make
a new statement concerning wnat
she declares is a new situation in
Asia which makes "inapplicable
idens and principles of the past."
He declared: "We do not like the
terms openjdoor and equal oppor
tunity." He asserted they were ap
plied nowhere else in the world
and should not continue in China.
He touched upon what he said was
discrimination against Japanese In
the United States.
A five-day fire wnlcn razed
Changsha, capital of Hunan prov
ince in China, was reported to
have caused 2,000 deaths and to
havo brought the execution of
three Chinese officials accused of
starting the fire to fulfill the
scorched earth' policy while
Japan's slowly advancing forces
still were 40 miles away.
In Spain, Insurgent armies ham
mered at government lines on the
west bank of the Segre river in
Catalonia, the only active battle
front. A government sailent on the
Sejre's west bank, created by a
surprise attack last week, endan
gered insurgent communications on
the vital front.
