The German officers came to Danzig for ceremonies today, open ing a new pontoon bridge over the Vistula river at Kaesemar, 15 miles east of Danzig and forming a new strategic link between the free city and Germany's military bases in East Prussia. At the same time Hie Danzig Ebling road, under repair for two months, was reported to provide a broad thoroughfare to the German East Prussia garrison town of Elbing. It was estimated that 5,000 police would be under arms Mon day, in edition to 1,000 members of the regular police and 1.500 men of the S. S. Heimwchr, or home guards.

The familiar Danzig cry of "we want to go home to the reich" echoed today over the ceremonies marking the opening of the new pontoon bridge over the Vistula. The vice-president of Danzig's Nazi senate, Heinrich Hulh, off! dated at the bridge opening and was accompanied by Foerater, Senate President Dr. Arthur K. Grelser, reich German authorities and the officers of the German army, navy and air force from East Prussian stations. Huth said that Danzig was strip ped from the reich after the World war, but the OB per cent German population of the city had "re mained steadfast In its love for Germany and its German brothers in the reich." The crowd, including 2.000 workers who built the bridge, echoed the cry.

He said the Tulane president charged that the baron had "snuggled up" to various Tu lane faculty groups "very effec tively." Not Sympathetic Sherman said the offer of books followed a series of attacks on his German professor, Otto T. Kraus, who he said was not sym pathetic to Hitler. Sherman refused the offer. Dr. Kraus, a native of Vienrfa, is a naturalized American citi zen. Ho was appointed profes sor of German at Tampa in May, 1037, and attacks "based on in nuendo" began a few months lat er, Dr. Sherman testified. 'He made it clear," Dr. Sher man said, "that he was bitterly opposed to the Nazi philosophy. He was frankly democratic and very liberal. 'After he began his service a series of attacks through rumor attacks based on innuendo be gan against Dr. Kraus. First, that he did not speak correct German. Then that he didn't have the training at the University of Vi enna he claimed to have. Those were rumors we could check. Could Laugh "Then there were attacks on his personal character. These we could laugh down because we knew Dr. Kraus. The attacks died down." On March 10. 1938, Dr. Sher man testified, the local German consul, Ernest Berger, called his secretary to say he had a friend who he believed could be in duced to give the school a li brary. Three days later he made an appointment for the donor, whom he did not name. On March 16 he called to say his friend, the consul at New Orleans, was de layed and would be there the fol lowing day. This was the first. Dr. Sherman said, that he knew of the donor's identity. When the baron arrived and was introduced by P,erger, Dr. Sherman said he inquired: "Is this the genlleman who wants to give the library?" " 'II is not I, hut my govern ment'," he quoted the baron as replying. Sherman said the German con sul "told me he thought the facl that we had no restriction on Jews at our college and that we had Jews on the board of trustees and on the faculty was a mistake, and that we eventually would regret It " Sherman said he "got rid of the haron as quickly as I could, and I wish now that I had thrown him out."

The Polish moves were undertaken quietly, the only public announce ment being that "certain defensive measures have been taken." The far eastern picture appeared to have darkened over the week end. Japanese were threatening to blockade Britain's crown colony of Hong Kong in South China, and in Shanghai, at the center of the China coast, British-Japanese re lations were strained anew over the killing of two members of a Japanese-dominated police force by a British member of the in ternational settlement police. At Tientsin, in north China, the worst flood in the city's history crippled the Japanese blockade of the British concession.
