GERMAN PRESS ATTACKS POLAND BERLIN, Aug.

20 P) Ominous declarations that the "day of reckoning" with Poland is coming soon piled one upon another in Germany today. Both the press and officials kept to the theme of Danzig, free city under Polish customs administration which Germany wants returned and Pomorze (the Polish Corridor), through which the Nazis want a connection to German East Prussia. The phrase "der tag," (day of reckoning) was being spoken with increasing frequency. In Berlin the press was insisting that "Polish insolence" was fast ex hausting "German patience." I The influential Hamburg Fremdenblatt headlined that Poland "still has five minutes for reflection." The Fremdenblatt reflected the general official contention that the Polish dispute must be settled almost at once. There was no time limits, set either officially or informally, but the impression was unmistakable that Germany counted on only a matter of days before taking some positive step, i Some papers, including the Fremdenblatt, hinted that Poland might "save itself" by coming forward with an acceptable suggestion.

An implied invitation to Poland to take some "constructive initiative" was contained in the official news bureau's citations from Italian papers suggesting that Poland "drop England and France" and attempt direct negotiations witn Germany. But no responsible German source made any direct suggestion that Poland should try, without cooperation of her allies, to come to understanding with Berlin. 2 Unconditional Demands Adolf Hitler's Voelkischer Beo bachter asserted "Danzig and the Corridor are and remain two unconditional German demands about which there can be no debates." Beobachter and other papers close to the government were irritated by Brish and French newspapers' suspicious that Germans reports of mistreatment of Germans in Poland were exaggerated. Suggestions that these reports were "maneuvers" and deliberate efforts to "create an intolerable sit uation artificially" were denied. From East Prussia came German warnings that the reich, prepared to deal a swift and smashing military blow if it "loses patience," is also prepared in an economic sense for a long conflict.

Speaking at the East Prussian fair at Koenigsberg, State Secretary Fritz Landfried of the eco nomics ministry, said Germany is "prepared on the economic front." "We know we could win no war If we were defeated in the eco nomic field," Landfried said. "Therefore we have armed our selves economically, so we could throw the full life and fighting power oi tne nation into the con test should a hostile world oblige us to do so. Landfried expressed satisfaction over development of foreign trade with all states except "democra cies" which "cannot recognize that a new era has come over the eco nomic world." Look For Executioner To Substitute For Elliott OSSINING, N. Aug. 20 (P).

Sing Sing prison authorities intimated today that a substitute for the ailing veteran executioner, Robert G. Elliott, probably would throw the switch Thursday night when Arthur Perry goes to the electric chair for wife murder. They have interviewed a half dozen of the better qualified electricians among the 400, including some women, who have applied for the job of the man who has sent some 340 persons to their doom in the six eastern states on his circuit. Other applicants will be consulted before the deadline Thursday night. The job pays $150 and there are 19 condemned men in the deathhouse, good for a total of $2,850, barring commutations.

Nothing concerning Elliott's condition has been reported since he was taken by ambulance two weeks ago from his home in Richmond Hill, Queens, to an unannounced destination. The world record for distance is held by Russia, vith a flight of 6295.66 miles, from Moscow to the United Tho ship contained nothing but and fuel, and to make the distance they had to throttle down to about a 100 mile an hour average.

If the development continues and Detroit gives evidence that it will your '45 model may be a transparent, rear driven number with all parts, including the driver, visible from the outside. Plastic bodies may be either opaque or transparent. Without tellins anybody about it, Henry Ford probably will start putting plastic trunk doors and plastic hoods on his cars before long.

The experimental work has been finished. There is a Cenr.an made car in New York with the entire body of plastic material. The new low priced German car that Hitler has been talking about will have a plastic body. Much cheaper than steel. FISHER DISPLAYS TRANSPARENT CAR At the World's Fair in New York, Fisher Body has a car on display with a complete transparent plastic body.

Fenders, hood, radiator, doors, and all sheet metal in the body are transparent. The car is as strong as a steel bodied car and can be driven. Briggs Body in Detroit has a car with a plastic transparent roof in place of the solid steel roof. Plastic can be bent and shaped as well as steel.

Plate glass, companies already are coming part way to meet the competition of plastics with their new plastic safety glass that will be used this year. This glass will bend and not break if hit hard. BETTER GAS IN PROSPECT Another new development will be in motor fuels.

At least one nation wide chain of filling stations already is set up to handle a 90 octane gasoline within the next 18 months. Oil company engineers are working with car engineers toward engines designed for 110 octane rating gasoline. They will be standard, it is expected here, by 1943. The thing is practically on schedule. Three years from now filling stations may handle nothing but 100 and 110 octane gasoline.

The present car engines will use the new fuel satisfactorily, but the new engines will have much higher economy and efficiency. Those 1943 engines will get 35 miles per gallon of gas. That engine will be much smaller, and lighter, with higher compression. They will have to go back to the cadmium bearings of four or five years ago. Oil company engineers now are running exhaustive tests with the new 110 MORE ON Chamberlain (Continued from Paie One) cording to the Soviet Union the same trust shown to Poland, can bring the negotiations for a pact to a successful conclusion.

LIGHTER ENGINES OPEN WAY TO CHANGE These lighter and smaller engines of possibly three years hence are what it will take to make the rear engined car practicable. So, give the car manufacturers an additional two years after the introduction of the smaller engine and the new fuel to perfect the first rear engined large scale production car. That should be about 1945. To get closer home and the 1940 cars. Many cars will have the new plastic safety glass.

Biggest innovation will be the ne sealed headlamps, which the industry h.as gone for 100 percent. G. E. developed it in cooperation with the car engineers. They have been working on it over three years.

In the G. E. lamp the reflector and lens are sealed tight and form the lamp bulb in which a vacuum created and in which the filament is placed. There is no other bulb. Other lamp manufacturers will use a regular bulb, but their reflectors and lenses will be sealed tight.

All units of all different makes will be the same size and interchangeable. Dealers and service stations will carry only one size. MONDAY MORNING, AUGUST 2 1,1939 Three Iowa Farmer Arrives To Try Cancer Cure Packed Ice About Body Causing 'Hibernation' Works For Certain Types PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20 (VP) An Iowa farmer arrived in Philadelphia today to assume the winter time role of a bear in a cave as a "hopeful experiment" in science's new cancer treatment. The farmer.

Max Harlan, 42, of Old Stockport, is suffering from cancer of the pancreas. Reclining in a wheel chair, Harlan reached Philadelphia on a morning train and was taken at once to Temple University Hospital. There he has volunteered to un dergo the treatmen developed by Dr. Temple Fay and Dr. Lawrence W.

Smith. Relieves Certain Types Since they informed a surprised medical vorld two months ago they had relieved certain types of cancer by a period of suspe ded animation induced by chipped Ice packed closely around the bodies of human subjects, the treatment he become popularly known as irozen sleep." Hospital attendants said the Iowa farmer would undergo a series of tests tomorrow, they show he is a qualified subject, the ice treatment will begin Tuesday. That, the experimenters hope, will slow up growth of the cancer cells that have carried Harlan toward death's door. The treatment normally continues for five days. Through that length of time, the patient lies a dreamless sleep much like winter hibernation of animals.

The temperature drops from the norn.al of 98.6 to around 90, some times as low as 85. Breathing slackens. le heart slows down. No food is required. The condition of "suspended animation" is brought about with cracked ice packed doc.

about the naked body. A mild anaesthetic prevents the usual pain of freezing. A warm drink awakens the patient and restores normal bodily functions at the end of the five days. Harlan's wife and Dr. F.

L. Nelson, of Ottumwa, his physician, accompanied the farmer to Philadelphia. It was Dr. Nelson who induced Harlan to volunteer for the Dr. Fay was absent from the city tonight and not available for comment, but his co worker, Dr.

Smith, declared: "It's a hopeful experiment" Swing Band May Appear At Celebration Of Anthem NEW YORK, Aug. 20 (JP) The "Star Spangled Banner" may have a swing band at its 125th birthday party. Band Leader Vincent Lopez, who wrote a streamlined version of the anthem which avoids the difficult high notes, said tonight he had received an invitation to play at the anniversary celebration September 14 at Fort McHenry, near Baltimore, where battle bound Francis Scott scribbled the lyrics. Lopez said the invitation was signed by Mrs. Reuben Ross Hollo way, prominent Baltimore anthem and flag enthusiast, and that he was trying to adjust his bookings to include the appearance.
