Kelly today took out papers for the Democratic nomination for Governor. In a statement he said, "This is an important step toward ending the reign of His Excellency, Gov.

Saltonstall the race for Lieutenant Governor 1936, and added, "This, coupled with indications that I will probably be unopposed, is line with my advocacy of harmony in the Democratic party that it may return Massachusetts to the people, where it rightfully belongs.

Statement by Duce on War Due June 4 ROME, May 28 UP) Premier Benito Mussolini may tell his plans for war to his Council of Ministers meeting on June 4, it was reported today. At that time, it was learned authoritatively, the Council will make an important decision regarding Italys position with relation to the war. It also was regarded possible that Mussolini might go so far as to tell his Ministers the exact date if he intends to enter the war. Mussolini was expected to review all the preparedness measures which Italy has taken, and give an account of the full extent of the nations strength on land, sea and in the air Questions regarding Italys obligations under the Rome-Berlm axis also are expected to be Hungary Worried by Balkan Bloc Backed by Soviet BUDAPEST, Hungary, May 28 (UP) Hungary called addihonal army reservists to the colors today and sped mobilization in apparent fear of isolation by a Russian-formed, Allied-approved Balkan buffer bloc. Balkan diplomatic quarters reported that Russia was forming a chain of buffer states the Balkans Rumania, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia and intended to march into southeastern Europe if Italy entered the war and moved on any Balkan state.

It was even reported that Balkan states might have agreed in principle to permit Russian troops to cross their frontiers on the way to the Adriatic if Italy entered the war. Yugoslav sources here asserted that it was nearly certain that Russia and Yugoslavia would resume formal diplomatic relations soon, for the first time since the World War, as a sequel to their new trade agreement. The recent visit to Bulgaria of Sir Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen, British Ambassador to Turkey, and Britains decision to send Sir Stafford Cripps, left wing labor party leader, to Moscow as special envoy were linked here with the reports regarding Russian activity, and were believed to mean that the Allies would approve fully any active Russian interest in the Balkans. Jubilation zfi Reich for First Time Instead of Reserve BERLIN. May 28 (AP) How enormous was the impression of the Belgian capitulation in Germany may be seen by the fact that the radio broadcast, for the first time since the conclusion of the Polish campaign, ended with the national anthem, "Deutschland Uber Alles.

Otherwise only the "Engelland' song "Were Sailing to England has been played consistently. For the first time, the reserve with which news of important victories has beea received gave way to spontaneous jubilation in the capital. hopes, tan DID MAM IWVEVlT MIS First idols ok AMD War ajw defend huaselpp TrS NO Mrs. Eddy Kalin and her son Eugene, 5, are shown above in plane at Washington, C.

As the public sentiment continues to mount this direction, it is not unlikely that further and more startling developments affecting the domestic picture may emanate from Washington. There is talk of a sudden announcement of a full state of emergerfcy, based upon White House discovery of the presence of a dangerous "Fifth Column" in the countrys midst. This would require a repudiation of the Administrations raps at the Dies Committee. It is certain, however, that no such announcement would be made on such a basis unless the Administration was quite certain that it could be made to stick politically and legally.

But any such proclamation would mean an immediate freezing of the elections to the New Deal column a "break none of its members among the top branches ever expected to get purely on the strength of its domestic achievements. Private plane producers are being asked to locate theif manufacturing plants the Mid-West, between the Rockies and Alleghenies, away from more vulnerable coastal areas. The plants would be privately operated, but the Government would keep title to them as manufacturing plants. Aside from the fact that this is another step of Government into the field of private enterprise, even though disguised as an emergency development, it is understood that the Administration plans to use much of the money granted by Congress for defense purposes, to build elaborate plants and factories of brick, concrete and cement above ground. Since the Germans appear to have stymied the world with their technological progress in machinery application, it might be well to recall that one of the leading technical magazines in the United States not long ago presented a detailed article on the layout of the German airplane production plants with particular reference to the Heinkel factory the one making the much-cabled-about Nazi bombers According to the article the Heinkel factory is centered in a forest obscured from all aerial view.

Next, it is all laid out underground. All of which is merely to remind that if we are talking about spending billions to modernize our defense establishment, large attractive buildings of brick, cement and concrete above ground are still visible from the air, still constitute handsome targets and do not appear to be a design of the latest style aircraft manufacturing units! Ledger Syndicate. Answer to Question No. 1 I think men resent masculinity in a woman in business, politics or anywhere else. The great women in business and politics are always extremely feminine Men want a woman to behave like a woman, and not assume either mannish dress or manners.

The) respect her more. The woman who tries to swagger about the office, use masculine language, call all the boys by their nicknames, even swear and tell shady stories well, she may get a kick out of it but she doesnt often get a husband, which. after all, is what she is trying for. Answer to Question No. 2 I think it is mainly because the second time you do not notice so many details.

In going over a road the first time you notice every hill and hollow, but on going over it again, your mind wanders off to other things home, business, friends, troubles, and the distance seems shorter. The same on seeing a play or movie a second lime. Answer to Question No. 3 No He used them to get food, clothing and shelter. At least this was the opinion of so great a scholar as the late Havelock He argued that th spear, bow and ar row, hammer, etc, were used first for domestic purposes and were later used in war.

He further argued that this showed man has no real "fighting instinct, for if he had had an inborn instinct to fight he would have used his tools for war first of all. Since he used them first to build with and to get food and clothing. Dr. Ellis argued that the "fighting instinct" is largely imaginary. Many eminent psychologists agree with this view.

The exceptions were male cadet teachers elected to permanent positions by a majority of the School Board at its meeting April 29. Their salary was made $100 per month and they have been teaching since their selection The appointments had been opposed by Mayor Lynch, an ex-officio member of the board, and he did not sign a payroll bearing their names. In explanation, he said last night: There were no vacancies among cadet teachers; name- of many other candidates preceded theirs on the waiting list. Their election created two additional permanent positions which, in my opinion, are not needed.

Furthermore, the appropriation for teachers salaries makes no provision for two more cadet teachers. rope Then Hitler bashed his way into Holland and Belgium! Politically, the development was a windfall to the New Deal. Almost overnight the country began to get the jitters This sent third-term sentiment scooting up again from the low estate to which it had fallen. The Presidential national defense address further massaged the public conscience. It contributed to preparation of a more favorable frame of public mmd toward continuation BERLIN, May 28 (AP) German radio accounts of the capitulation of King Leopold of the Belgians said today he made his decision after stormy meetings with Allied Generalissimo Maxime Weygand and his own Generals, and after the French had pleaded with him to postpone surrender for at least a week The King, according to one account credited to the Stefani (Italian) news agency, declared that the Belgian Army already had suffered greater casualties than the World War and that, in view of its "hopeless position, further shedding of blood was useless.

Weygand, this account said, ivas unable to lend further assistance to the Belgian Northern Army, yet wanted the Belgians to resist further to permit the French to reorganize their Somme-Aisne front to the south and enable England to protect herself against invasion. Belgian Premier Pierlot went to London to tell British Prime Minister Churchill of the Kings attitude, and Churchill called French Premier Rcynaud to London, the story continued. A German radio report credited to reliable sources in Geneva said Weygand came back to Paris Sunday after a visit to Belgian General Headquarters under the impression that Leopold was about to "Stormy scenes are reported to have occurred between the King of Belgium and Gen Weygand Sunday, said this account. The King strong words, voiced his disappointment concerning the effectiveness of Allied help to Belgium He is said to have bitterly en.phasized, reply to Weygand's request that Belgians should go on fighting, that Belgian troops fought with considerably moxe courage than the British and French. Weygand was unable to get a promise from the King that he would continue the fight because King Leopold realized the hopelessness of the military situation and refused to be responsible for the further devastation of Belgian territory.

King Leopold pointed out to Weygand that, as sovereign and supreme commander, he had a right to decide when fighting should cease, especially since during the whole time he had been at the front with his troops and ignored his personal safety. "Monday Reynaud told Belgian Premier Pierlot that the western powers, after having secured victory, would be uninterested in Belgiums fate if the Belgian Army should now lay down arms. Pierlot, acting under this pressure, sent a message to the King of the Belgians, but was unable to make him change his decision. Nazi Parachutists Attack at Narvik STOCKHOLM, May 28 (AP) German troops landed from planes were reported today to have crossed Rombakfiord in collapsible boats for an attack on British flanks near the Arctic ore port of Narvik, Norway. The newspaper Aftonbladet said dispatches from across the border indicated the action was intended to relieve German forces hard pressed at Bjornfjell, near Narvik.

The dispatches said the Germans parachuted from planes a mile east of Narvik and crossed the fjord under difficult conditions. protected by fire from their own pursuit planes. Thin Dime Brings $3 to Red Cross KINSTON, N. May 28 (AP) A war veteran sympathizing with European war sufferers sent $3 to the Red Cross with this explanation: "I do not gamble, but I was down to one thin dime and I didnt like to give that to the Red Cross. I knew where a baseball pool was being run so I said it would be $3 or nothing.

I planked down the dime. A few hours later I learned I had won. The Capital Parade U. S. A ccomplishment in Defense Crisis Hardly Encouraging By JOSEPH ALSOP AND ROBERT KINTNER WASHINGTON, May 27 The dearest lesson of the immense and unimaginable tragedy in Europe is that when tipie presses, a nation can achieve prepaiedness only, if at all, by going on a wartime emergency basis.

Every army and navy expert, every in-teligent State Department official, every disinterested industrial executive agrees on this one central fact Remembering the central fact, despite the Presidents reassurances, it is hard to be en couraged by the American accomplishment since the defence crisis burst upon us. Almost everywhere the situation is the same, the Government and out In Congress, Senator James F. Byrnes of South Carolina almost single-handedly managed a remarkable demonstration of national unity, on his own initiative obtaining the cooperation of Senate Republican leader Charles L. McNary and the House chieftains, and setting aside the Congression- British Channel Ports Prepare for Evacuation BY THE OLD ENGLISH POT-STILL PROCESSI -4 A s-e V4 i th vjrx. i from the Germans positions on the Continent are convinced that the Government will send them to safer areas now that Belgium has surrendered.

A SOUTHEAST PORT, England, May 28 (AP) Preparations to meet a threatened German invasion were lushed along this vulnerable stretch of the British coast tonight and civilians awaited a Government order to move farther inland.

But the demonstration has been partly spoiled by short-sighted members of the House Appropriations committee, such as Representative Charles A. Plumley of Vermont They have jealously insisted 1 the Houses prerogative to hold hearings, have refused to hurry the hearings along, and have thus delayed the final vote.

In the executive branch some men, like Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes, have grasped the situation and have pled with the President to act decisively and boldly. But the defense program is already involved the most extraordinary bureaucratic bickering. Atty. Gen.

Robert H. Jackson proposes a program for registering resident aliens a precaution of which the necessity has been made all too obvious by European events. Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, already beside herself at the loss of her Immigration Bureau to the Justice Department, fluttering interposes a protest which temporarily blocks the Jackson program at the White House The War and Treasury Departments hurl themselves into a tug-of-war over aviation procurement The War Department suddenly convenes a meeting of aviation executives and the Treasury, taken by surprise, gets the President to order the meeting held in the office of Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr, and then, as the meeting has not been prepared or, no one has anything to say to the busy men who have been brought to Washington for a supposedly important conference. Nor is it possible to be greatly cheered by the Presidents formation of a cumbersome and all-embracing council of high Government officials and leading industrialists to assist in the preparedness effort. It means, of course that most of what is done will have to be done by the President himself, who already has plenty on his hands.

It was perhaps to be expected, for the President has leaned toward such a council and-aWay from the creation of something like the old War Industries Board ever rince the national defense began to give concern, back in 1937. It, was the Fall of 1937 that Assistant Secretary of War Louis Johnson first proposed to the President that a olunteer group of industrialists and other qualified men recruited to survey and criticize the armys mobilization plans. At that time, the President's re-World Wars Council of National Defense was not still a legal entity. It was found that the council, an inter-departmental body composed of the Secretaries of War, Navy. Interior, Labor and one or two others, did still exist.

The matter was then dropped until July of last year although Johnson and B. M. Baruch continued to press the President for the appointment of a special civilian committee to review defense plans. Just before the end of last years Congressional session, the President allowed Johnson and Secretary of the Navy Charles Edison to set up the War Resources Board. But in the President's mmd, at least, the boards sole purpose was still that of reviewing existing plans.

In the first war cabinet meeting, the President declared that if the war did create a national emergency, it would be administered through the council. But although the Presidents attitude in the matter could be anticipated by informed persons, it is hard to feel confidence in the result Cumbersomeness and vague divisions of responsibility, such as seem to afflict the Presidents new set-up, are just the faults which create the worst administrative difficulties. Herculean effort, unprecedented forbearance by all concerned, firm Presidential repression of the squabbles now progress, and replacement of some of the less competent present job-holders may perhaps prevent difficulties from arising. Unfortunately, it is pretty optimistic to hope for a simultaneous general display of such uncommon wisdom. Mrs.
