LONDON—The fate of the pres
ent negotiations concerning the
eritical relations of Germany with
the rest of Europe may hang on
the translation of a German word
It developed today the League
of Nationg counci] may seek from
Reichsfuehrer Hitler a clarifica
tion of his reply to an invitation
to attend a council session.
The clarification, it was said,
would be to elear up just what
was meant by the word “Alsbald”
contained in the telegram Joseph
A. C. Avenol, secretary-general
of the League, received from Hit
ler )astn night.
. ks THeTen rfang ation
g o R Bt
while the British cabinet was con
sidering the sitmation, informed
the foreign office the correct
translation of the word is “in due
course” instead of “forthwith,” as
the council secretariat officially
translated it.
The new translation puts a
modified interpratation of Hitler's
sondition for sending a represen
tative to the council’s session.
Hitler’s reply Originally was in
terpreted to mean he demanded
negotiation of his peace proposals
his denunciation of the Locarno
simultaneously with discussion ol
pact.
The new translation might mean
consideration of his proposals
could come at a later date whick
might be acceptablé to the French.
T.ast night the French denounced
Hitler's reply ag imvpossible.
Cleared Up
The German embassy explained
it communicated with Berlin and
was informed Hitler meant “in
due time” rather than “immediate
ly” and that the word “alshald”
was translated differently by
north and south Germans.
Germany's position now. is un
derstood to be that she will attend
the council session on a footing
of equality if assured the powers
concerned are prepared to enter
into negotiations in - due course
with regard to the German pro
posals.
French sources indicated this
change made the situation more
hopeful, although Foreign Minis
ter Flandin and Joseph Paul-Bon
cour, his minister of state, refused
to comment.
The heads of the various dele
gations went into a secret ses
sion at 3:55 p. m, following a
good deal of discussion as to whe

or secret.

If Possible.
WASHINGTON ~—(#)— Congress
displayed unprecedented interest
in the annual income tax rush to
day, as citizens throughout the
country hastened to get their re
turng in before the dead-line at
midnight tonight.
Many legislators hoped the re
turng would be mueh larger than
estimated. In that case, some of
them believed, congress might
scale down the new $792,000,000
tax program advocated by Presi
dent Roosevelt to finance the farm
gid act and part of the bonus
cost.
Becaus: of the approaching
campaign, many legislators have
indicated they want to make the
tax program as small as possible.
Treasury Optimistic
The treasury was optimistie
about the income tax returns, In
the official budget calculations,
the department’s experts estimated
that & minimum of $438,000,000
would be received this month,
compared to $321,907,000 1 a st

Lynching Flayed; Farm
Ownership for Negroes
Urged by Commission.
ATLANTA —(®— Extension of
farm ownership to Negroes to af
ford them “greater ‘participation in
community affairs was asked to
day by the Commission on Inter
racial cooperation which described
lynching as “primarily a techni
que of enforcing racial exploita~
tion.”
The commission deseribed the
Negro's lot as “slavery, peonage,
low wages, restricted woOrk op
portunities and inferior education

jties.”
The report, issued under the
title of “The Mob Rides On,” said
41 per cent of the 84 persons
lynched in the last five years
were accused of petty crimes or
“no crimes whatever.” Most were
Negroes.
“rhe exploitation of the Negro
extends from Its broad economic
base into all the vota] phases of
political life,” the report, issued
by R. B. Eleazer, gecretary of the
commission, said.
“Lynchings oceur most,_frequent

communities of the South. Most
of the counties are economically

The commission described Mis

Talmadge Criticized
For Appointment of
New State Forester
WASHINGTON.—(#)—Governor
Eugene Talmadge of Georgia,
who upon numerous occasions has
been at odds with the Roosevelt
administration, today found him
self subject to criticism from the
Society of American Foresters.
The society made public a pro
test against Talmadge's appeint
ment of Elmer Dyal as state for
ester of Georgia, on the ground
Dyal does not meet statutory re
quirements that the office be filled
by one ‘“technically trained” and
“with at least two years’ experi
ence in technical and administra
tive work.”
To which Talmadge replied that
Dyal was “a born forester” and
“a wood ranger right.”
The controversy was disclosed
by correspondence between H. H.
Chapman of Washington, presi
dent of the society, and Talmadge.
“We find that Mr, Dyal is not
in any sense of the word a tech
nically trained forester and that
he has never had an hour's tech
nical instruction in any school or
department of forestry.”
Chapman's letter said:
“The state of Georgia since 1906

3-{EAR-OLD BOY 15
LOST IN SAND STORM
Searching Party Determ
ined to Find Youtk Who
Ran Away From Home.
TWO BUTTES, Colo. —(#)— A
three-yeai'-old boy, lost in a blind
ing dust storm, was hunted
among drifting dunes of silt to
day by 500 persons determined to
“sing him or drop in our tracks.”
Billy Benson wandered away
from a ranch house yesterday and
was overtaken by a ‘“black roller”
of dust that suddenly enveloped
the prairie.- Nobody had taken
seriously his plan to “walk inte
town.”
An entire CCC camp, all avail
able officers and scores of volun
‘teerg joined in the sgearch.
“We'll hunt for that youngster
until we find him or drop in our
tracks,” said W. A. Edmunds,
foreman of the camp.
Visibility was out almgst to
zero soon after the storm struck
and the searchers had a hard time
breathing the dirt-filled air.
Faces were sgtreaked with mud
that formed as the dust blew into
tears welling from irritated eyes.
Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Benson
left their son at the hOme of an
uncle, Robert Benson, while they
attended a meeting. He was not
missed until the duster blew up.
Because the dust is blown into
drifts, like snow, rescuers were
afraid the baby might be buried.
The storm was described in
some sections, where a light could
not be seen across a street, as the
“worst since last April”’. At Clay
ton, N. M., it was the worst since
the “black terror” of 1935.
