MONDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1938 Subway Beats Auto as Time Saver Sfafe Department's British 'Policy WHILE some have been confused by his policy with relation to Great Britain, Secretary of State Hull has drawn a steady distinction between "parallel" action and the "Joint'1 action of which he sometimes has been suspected. These distinctions have been preserved even in the Informality of bis daily press conferences during the course of the Chinese-Japanese conflict. As early as last July 13 he was asked by the correspondents who crowd around the long table In his conference room whether it was this Government's general attitude simply to exchange information with the Rritish Govern- ment end other Lartoon Comments on yens Veterans' Fists Stall Upstate Drive by Bund Ex-Assemblyman Called Coward Free-for-All Halts Speecb by Kunze Buffalo, Feb. 14 fP) An organization campaign of the German-American Bund marked time here today, temporarily stalmated by the flying I is us of American war veterans who broke up the largest governments 1 -terested in the Chinese situation.

His reply was that It was thla Government's policy to deal separately and Independently with the chief phases of any foreign questions which arise. That was bland general out-11 and tfie correspond- ents pressed him to exDlain how SKfe. Use Subways. Mayor Urges Auto Owners Survey Shows Practice Actually Saves Time in Celling to the Office Brooklyn residents who complain of traffic congestion in getting to and from their offices in midtown Manhattan with their automobiles would do better to leave their cars at the subway station, according to a Police Department survey made public by Mayor LaGuardla. The survey, which covered four of the five boroughs, showed that use of the city's transit facilities by residents of outlying areas saves time in getting to and from Manhattan and would relieve traffic difficulties there.

The survey also demonstrated that there are ample parking places near stations in those areas. Trips Are Timed The Leave Your Car at Home campaign undertaken by the Mayor indicates that car owners may save at least ten minutes In getting to work by subway from districts such as Bay Ridge, East New York, Flat-bush and South Brooklyn. All times were calculated on the basis of trips to Times Square. The survey showed, for example, that it required 25 minutes to get there from the Bay Ridge Ave. station of the B.

M. but that it takes 51 minutes to travel by automobile. From Flatbush and Nostrand Aves. the subway time is 35'i minutes as against 53 minutes by car. The survey was made by WPA labor under -the direction of John T.

Gibala, assistant engineer of the Police Department. Arthur A. Lynch, of the Metropolitan Garage Board of Trade, and Jack Straus, vice president of R. H. Macy cooperated in making the study, "Many persons use their private cars in traveling from their homes in outlying districts to the heart of the city because of the false impression that they save time," a foreword to the study declared.

Fltzpatrlclt in St. Louii Post-Dispatch. 'The Rev. Martin Niemoeller, A. 1938' tion there is some "flexibility" to the policy when several nations find conditions and interests affecting them in common.

An Example ONE State Department official, seeking to draw a concrete illustration, suggested that it might be similar to a neighborhood in which one family is found to be noisy and troublesome. If three neighbors hold a preliminary conference on what to do and then move in on the neighborhood nuisance in a body with a demand that the noise be stopped, that is "joint action." Each neighbor would be somewhat obligated to assist the others in event the troublesome party started swinging fists. But it is simply "parallel" action if each of the neighbors goes individually to protest. It is still simply "parallel" action if they meet to exchange data on what is happening without agreeing to make a united protest. It is still "parallel" action if each neighbor, after such an exchange of data, decides to write a note to the neighbor call on him in person independently to kick about the racket.

The other neighbors then are not obligated to come in if fists begin to fly. Again and Again REPEATEDLY Secretary Hull has insisted that this latter procedure is as far as the United States has gone in its "parallel" action with Great Britain in efforts to restrain Japanese aggression. On July 16 he issued a broad outline of policy, part of which stated: "We avoid entering into alliances or entangling commitments but we believe in co-operative effort by peaceful and practicable means in support of the principles hereinbefore stated." The principles include such items as respect for treaties, reduction of armament, maintenance of peace, and non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. He restated that position in press conferences July 30, Aug. 12, Aug.

17 and Aug. 23 and pleaded again Dec. 15, three days after the Panay sinking, that the correspondents remember that it was passible for nations to act for a common purpose, even concurrently, without such action becoming "joint." Again in the last few days, after the United States, Great Britain and France had asked Japan to let the world know the size of battleships it wa building, Secretary Hull told the Senate in a formal letter that there was no agreement or understanding with Great Britain relating to war or possibility of war; no agreement on use of the Navy conjointly with the British; no agreement, expressed or implied, for the U. S. to patrol one part of the world while Britain patrolled another part.

Some seem to doubt it yet, but those are the gentleman's words. PRESTON ROVER. meeting of the tour. G. Wilhelm Kunze, representative of the bund's national headquarters, said he had "no immediate plans" as he took stock of war veteran resentment that grew in intensity as lie crossed New York State on a speaking tour.

Opposition to the bund movement flowered here when a meeting Kunze was addressing was broken up in a 15-minute free-for-all. Nearly a score of police were needed to quell the disturbance. "00 at Meeting Kunze last night attracted 700 listeners, fully half of them members of war service organizations. Kunze began talking against a steady patter of heckling remarks. "The bund," he said, "is organized to fight subversive influences in the United States.

We want to make sure no small racial group gains control of the United States." Starts Battle When Kunze yielded the floor for questions, former Assemblyman Frederick Hammer asserted: "My grandfather left Germany because he couldn't stand the military regimentation." "Coward!" came a cry from the audience. As Hammer challenged the speaker to "settle it outside," fist fights flared no simultaneously throughout, the hall. Kunze was immediately escorted off the speaker's platform by police, although he protested at leaving. The bluecoats broke up fight after fight, throwing participants down a stairway exit in the building. Boy Ecclesiastic, 7, Fails to Click Here Youngest Minister Offers Sermon lnt It Does-n't Impress Boro Audience For the Rev.

Charles E. Jaynes 7, the country's youngest ordained minister, to preach to a congregation of 150 persons or thereabouts apparently is nothing short of a "let-down." Back stage last night after revival services in the Masonic Temple, Clermont and Lafayette where the child ecclesiastic preached on "Heaven," the disapjiointment of members of his party was keen. The Hev. John J. i Happy Jack) Smith, the child's sponsor, was glad to be heading back for New England and the next stop Springfield, on Thursday night.

In an unguarded moment one member of the Javne.s entourage let it be known that the one-night stand In Brooklyn had been Just "an accident." However, black-eyed Charles, a likeable, roly-poly youngster in a black velvet Little Lord Fauntleroy suit, didn't seem to mind. Like a child he was thinking of childish things. True enough, he had been introduced as a "phenomenon" and as a celebrity "known from coast to coast." As recently as last month lie addressed more than 15,000 persons in Mechanics Hall. Boston, and received front-page notices.
