THE INDIANAPOLIS NEWS, FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1938. Pleads Innocence in Spy Case Where Can Jewish Refugees Go? Grave Problem Will Face Parley Turkey's 'Strong Man' Stresses Air Force in Defense Program events Justified the importance Turkey attached to national defense. "We are constantly endeavoring to endow our forces with the most up-to-date equipment," he declared, "particularly with the latest types of fighting aircraft, and our efforts to increase the latter's strength and efficiency will continue without respite." Turkish newspapers declare the country's geographical position, mid- ANKARA, Turkey. June 24 (Correspondence of the Associated Press) President Kamal Ataturk is rapidly- realizing his desire to make Turkey's air force the most powerful of any in the Balkan area. Spurred on by rearmament of other countries in Europe and Asia.

Turkey's "strong man" is using every means to bolster his position as warden of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus straits. Opening the present parliamentary session, Ataturk said world way between the forces of Communism (Soviet Russia) and the anti-Communist bloc (Germany, Italy and Japan) makes it imperative for Turkey to have a more powerful army, navy and air force. The goal, in the air. is a defensive force of 1,000 modern planes The number of planes now in the air force is not known, but everywhere there are evidences of Th Turkish Aviation League, mainly responsible for developing Turkish flying, has raised since it was formed seven years ago, purchased 250 fighting planes, created flying and gliding schools throughout the country and awarded scholarships to send young aviators abroad for specialized homes for a maximum number of refugees The principal difficulty in, handling this vast problem naturally is The cost of such an emigration project on a large scale in tremendous. It is estimated, for example, that it requires about $500 to transport and settle each refugee.

On this basis, it would take to provide for only 100,000 people. And this doesn't include mai tenance of families that first must be absorbed into the economic life of the countries to which they flee. Where can the Jewish refugees go? The United States has in annual immigration quota of 27.000 for Germany. Many Jewish leaders are hoping Britain will be able in some way to settle 50,000 annually in Palestine. Twenty thousand more might be taken care of by South America, Australia, South Africa and Canada between them.

That would provide for a total of 100,000 wanderers yearly. And what if the number far exceeds 100,000, as it easily may do? They still must be cared for. That's up to Evian. ROGERS By De WITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Affairs Writer NEW YORK. June 24.

The projected conference of more than thirty nations at Evian, France, initiated by Washington to facilitate immigration of political refugees, will have to grapple with one of the world's gravest problems, and one that is becoming more acute hourly. One would have to refer to the middle ages to find a situation comparable with the present plight of European Jewry in general, and German Jewry in particular. That would" take us back to the days when the Jews of Germany were looked upon as the personal property of the sovereign; back to the time when England drove the Hebrews from her shores. To be pure, in 1892 Imperial Russia forced 225,000 Jews from the country by imposition of hard restrictions. But this was mild as compared with the Nazi drive to eliminate the 300,000 Jews of Germany and the 150,000 of Austria.

Joseph Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda, speaking in the midst of an anti-Semitic campaign which training. Obsolete Planes Replaced. 'Obsolete machines now used to train pilots and navigators are being replaced by modern bombers and pursuit planes from Germany, the United States, Britain and Poland. IS THE hosts without a country to go, especially when they are deprived of all but about a tenth of their possessions when they depart? What lands can find places for impoverished immigrants in these hard times? Those are questions for the Evian conference to rumple its hair over. In the last five years 150,000 Jews one-third of German Jewry have left the country.

The Nazi authorities are now applying economic and physical pressure to the 450,000 remaining in Germany and Austria. Anti-Semitic Forces Grow. The anti-Semitic forces in other central and eastern European countries such as Poland, Rumania, Hungary and Lithuania, have been strengthened by events in Germany, Jewish leaders express fear the refugee problem may assume "extraordinary proportions if anti-Semitic governments and organizations get the impression they can solve their Jewish problem by expelling their Jews and trusting the rest of the world to absorb them. The gravity of the position may be seen from the fact that some 5,000,000 Jews are involved in various anti-Semitic countries. Could the outside world absorb and provide for them? It is expected that Jewry will present this thought to the Evian conference.

The parley probably will be asked to consider the refugee problem from at least these two angles: First, the feasibility of trying to diminish anti Semitic pressure through representations to the various governments concerned, and of urging the right of those expelled to take their property with them; second, a survey of the possibilities of immigration and an effort to obtain MOST IMPORTANT PART OF YOUR PURCHASE AT Have Your ROGERS IS AIR COOLED Shop in Comfort at Rogers FUR COAT Repaired Now!

WASHINGTON STREET That is what Compton Mackenzie, British writer and author of a biography telling the "real" story of the abdication, said last night at a dinner celebrating Edward's forty-fourth birthday. When a telegram arrived from France expressing the Duke's appreciation of the good wishes of the Society of Octavians, founded to give the abdicated King a "square deal," Mackenzie boomed: "We don't want to send telegrams to France, we want to send them to Ft.

Hangars at civil flying fields have been planned so that they can be converted quickly to military use if the country goes to war. Premier M. C. Bayar announced May 18 that Turkey was obtaining $80,000,000 credit in London for "development of Industry and the purchase of military supplies."

The Aviation League gets most of its revenue from voluntary donations ty in every class of society. Some pay big annuities to help the country on its way to air efficiency. The League also operates Turkey's only authorized lottery, netting $1,250,000 annually. There also are special aviation levies seals stamped on bottles, of liquor, official petitions, receipts, and on tickets sold for the movies, theater, horse racing, sports grounds and all public entertainments. An outstanding activity of the League was creation of Turkish Bird semi-official organization which establishes flying and gliding schools.

Germany's economic dictator, Field Marshall Hermann Wilhelm Goer-ing, withrthe stroke of his pen has revolutioned Germany's labor conditions and placed the burden for success of his four-year plan on the shoulders of every able-bodied German man and woman. The decree, effective July 1, makes all subject to labor for the state and is interpreted in official circles as a decisive step toward forestalling sclacyening of work especially on Rechisfuehrer Adolf Hitler's building program.

An acute labor shortage has threatened "this program, which was started June 14 when Hitler laid the cornerstone of the first of a series of new structures to rebuild Berlin.

LONDON, June 24 (A.P.) Britain's envoy to insurgent Spain was under orders tonight to bring to London an- explanation from Generalissimo Francisco Franco's government for its unrelenting aerial attacks on British ships. This step by Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain to cope with a problem that has been a constant thorn in his side was disclosed yesterday in a tumultuous house of commons session. Chamberlain, however, reiterated his refusal to make reprisals for the attacks for fear of starting a European war. His stand created such a furore he could scarcely be heard. Amid the excitement three fist-shaking hecklers were ejected from the gallery.

The premier said he again had warned Franco, adding that he hoped it would "not be too late" for the generalissimo to prevent further attacks. To the cheers of the opposition, Conservative Winston. Churchill, an opponent of Chamberlain's foreign policy, suggested the prime minister "use his personal influence with Mussolini" to halt the attacks. The tory rebel declared "Japan.

The spokesman in the Reich's labor office explained that, although details of execution of Goering's order are not yet available, efforts first will be directed toward rapid reduction of unemployment in Austria.

A slashing insurgent offensive drove government forces down the highway toward Valencia today after the strategic town of Sarrion was almost surrounded. Both sides were said to have suffered heavy casualties. The insurgent command said its Castillian troops left only a small area for the government retreat east from Sarrion, westernmost government position flanking the insurgent drive east toward Valencia.

The swift maneuver capped days of fighting to xontrol the highway to the sea. The insurgents also occupied the towns of Crenentadas, north of Sarrion, and Albentosa, about four east, insurgent headquarters was notified. Air squadrons, tanks and artillery joined ground forces in blasting the government's heavily fortified positions in an attack which began early Thursday.

"All the Jews are enemies of the United States," Kuhn told a state legislative committee inquiry.

Then he calmly recited for Senator John J. McNaboe, chairman, a list of charges against American Jewry that closely resemble charges of the Nazi government against German Jews. Kuhn outlined the growth of his Bund and its spread to ninety-four cities in the United States. He charged Jews are the master minds behind the Communist party; that the Rothschilds, through Kuhn, Loeb and the Warburgs, control the Democratic and Republican parties; that the family of J. P.
