Z. GOLDBERG- 100 many precious tears are shed by otherwise hardened individuals over the Polish Corridor. They becry the fate of an outraged German nation whose land has been cut in two, with a considerable portion bitten out just to satisfy Poland's ambition for an outlet to the sea. You can't expect Gerthe largest country on the many, continent outside of Russia, they say, to acquiesce in such a territorial division.

These people have succumbed to Germany's revisionist propaganda. Germans themselves do not argue Poland's historical, ethnographic, or even her economic rights to the Corridor. They base their stand on t. political aspect. The individual German hates the Corridor because it stands out as a grim reminder of his country divided against its willsymbol of defeat, of shattered imperialist dreams.

A strong, united Germany was a matter of national pride. A weak, divided Germany 18 the cause of national humiliation. I myself was inclined to subscribe to' the German view before I visited the Polish Corridor and studied the problem on the spot. There, however, I found that. the actual facts are much at variance with the general belief.

From every angle the Poles certainly have the stronger case. BOUNDARIES OF POLISH CORRIDOR THE CORRIDOR, also called Pomerania, is a strip of land running 45 miles inland, with width of 20 miles at the coast. 8 60 miles in the center and 140 miles In the south. It was joined to Poland by Mieszko in 968 From that time until the first partition in 1772 it remained an integral part of Poland, with the exception A period from 1308 to 1466, when short It was forcibly held by the Teutonic knights. German domination lasted from 1772 to 1920.

the Corridor is and albeen overwhelmingly PORacially, ways has lish. In 1910, says Hermann Rauschning, noted German authority, the population of the Corridor was about 42.5 percent German and 57.5 percent Polish census of 1921 gives the Poles a percentage of 81.3, against a German percenof 18.7, in a total population taro, 935,679. The provisional figures the 1931 census show that the for constitute over 90 percent of Poles the population. German Exodus After War Of course, there was a large German emigration from the Corridor the end of the war, and the Gerat attribute to harsh treatmans ment and discrimination on the of the Poles. But the truth matter is quite different.

The part of the Germans living in Pomerania were largely government representatives, officials, policine railway men. Naturally, new Polish government was established, there was work for them to do. So they no returned to Germany. Culturally, the Corridor maintained its Polish character despite the century and a half of severe Germanization. And in every electhe German, Reichstag betion to tween 1871 this province returned Polish, not German, deputies.

Economically, the Corridor is indispensable to Poland. It is her the only sea. guarantee of free access to At. the same time, it not conwith Germany's access to East flict land or Even Dr. Prussia by Holz, a high official of the German Railways, agrees in this.

State "Transit." he says, "goes on withhindrance, in fact aS it the out of the Reich was still management active on Polish territory." There are six direct railway lines for Germany's transit traffic. with 24 trains running daily in both directions. The passengers on these trains are free from all passport and customs formalities, just AS German freight traffic through the Corridor is free from Polish customs duties. River and postal traffic are aiso uninterrupted. And certain telephone and telegraph lines have been turned over exclusively NO FUSS OVER OTHER CORRIDORS THERE are a number of similar so-called "corridor" arrangements in other parts of Europe, and no fuss is ever made about them.

In fact, most people do not know that they exist. There is a German corridor, instance, in Switzerland. Unless you are a Swiss or a German, you must show your passport at Baden, when traveling between Basel and Schaffhausen. There is a Greek "corridor" 11 Turkey and French "corridor" in Italy. The rancor in the Polish-German1 feud derives from loss of ralional prestige.

The Germans are blind to every aspect of the problem save the political, and this they have magnified a thousand times. Paul Scheffer, the eminent German jourpalist, has warned his courti vmen that they forget this political aspect or suffer for it. But the Germans are only too ready to suffer. In fact, they would bless the hour in which such an opportunity presented itself. Situation Demands Diplomacy Politically, Poland stakes her very existence on the Corridor.

The new state stands or falls by it. Will war come to the Corridor? It certainly requires more farsightedness and control than the Germans are now displaying to prevent it. It demands all the pottence and diplomacy the Poles are capable of mustering to refrain from succumbing to the Nazis' provocations But if it should came, both sides would probably exclaim with a sigh of relief: At TELL EXPLOITS OVER THE AIR bio Soon after arrival at Fioyd stories of their remarkable flights from Los Angeles to New York Bennett Field yesterday Capt.

Dato, former Russian peasant boy, to the control of large portions of the vast Edith Call Stork Club Raid 'Nicest' They Have Ever Known Guests Take 2 Hours to Depart After Getting Word From the Police Two hundred guests lounging about the five floors of the elite New Stork Club, at E. 51st just off Park in Manhattan, were listening casually last night to the strains of "Happy Days Are Here Again." It was 9 o'clock, and the guests, in the drawingrooms on the second floor, in the nooks and crannies on the third, and in the retiring rooms on the fourth and fifth, were talking of Roosevelt's chances, of cabbages and kings, and the Eastern Yacht Club crew's victory in the first race for the Sears Bowl.

The strains of the orchestra, brought by wire into all parts of the building, petered gracefully out. There was a pause. Then a voice was heard. "Ladies and gentlemen." it said, "this club is in the hands of the police. You will please finish your meals, pay your checks and leave quietly.

You have plenty of time." The diners took two hours to clear out, and as they drifted to the street reporters heard them saying that it all had been one of the very nicest raids they had ever known. The voice over the wire had been that of Patrolman Robert Jones, of Inspector O'Brien's staff. While the guests were starting home, he led a handful of officers in the arrest of the alleged manager and four bartenders. Liquors, wines, brandies and other potables valued at 000 were confiscated. The raid was the result not of a liquor tip, but rather of the complaint of a patron who had lost money in a quarter -machine in the club.

Police carted out 175 sacks and cases of liquors, as well as 400 bottles found behind the bar, near the orchestra, on the second floor.

It was there he met Krenn, a young student of architecture. Krenn had difficulty with mathematics at school. Dato tutored him over the tough spots in calculus and trigonometry and the two became fast friends. Dato was graduated from the Polytechnic Institute of the Federal College at Zurich, and went to New York in 1914, where he opened an automotive school.

The school prospered and Dato sold his interest, obtaining money enough to attend Valparaiso University, in Indiana, where he studied English literature and American history. There he met a co-ed.

Haizlip announced this morning he is going at once to Cleveland to compete for the Thompson Speed Trophy in the air races being held there. Col. Roscoe Turner, who came in second in the coast-to-coast race from Los Angeles to Floyd Bennett Airport here yesterday, also is going at once to Cleveland, he said today, Both Captain Haizlip and Colonel Turner broke the previous record of Maj. James H. Doolittle of 11 hours and 16 minutes.

Captain Paizlip set his tiny black and white racing monoplane down on this coast 10 hours, 19 minutes from the time he took off on the West Coast. Colonel Turner's thne was 10 hours, minutes. Captain Haizlip arrived at the Brooklyn flying field at 6:04 last night, thereby winning $9,250 in prize money and the coveted Bendix Trophy, annual classic of the Na- tional Air Fly New Type Planes Both Haizlip, who hails from Ferguson, and Turner, who comes from Hollywood, flying newly designed racing planes built by the Weddell-Williams Aircraft Company of Patterson, La.

Cleveland. Aug. 30 (P)-The challenge of -speed, and with it, perhaps, the world's airplane record, today faced the 1932 National Air Races. The classic's main goal was to find a successor to the landplane speed throne occupied since 1924 by France. Not since 1925, when the air corps swept to victory in the now extinct Pulitzer Trophy race with a speed of 248 miles an hour, have the air races been able to boast of true racing progress, and the feat of the Ferguson, pilot of striking a faster gait in clipping nearly an hour from the former Los Angelesto-New York record was taken AS a cue for an assault on France's mark of 278.480 miles an hour.

True Tests Later This attack was scheduled to move under way today in dashes over a three-kilometer course. Though the readiness of the pilots indicated that the true tests may come later after mechanics have spent more time in priming untried mounts for super Maj. James H. Doolittle, deposed transnation record holder, has a well-streamlined racer, which Russell Boardman, transatlantic flier, injured in a flight test, had planned to fly. It was to be flown today in a test hop.

while another Doolittle ship, rebuilt craft of 1931's transnation dash, was being worked on night and day in Wichita, for possible entry in the lists. "I do not know whether it will be ready in time," Major Doolittle said. "and I do not know as yet what plane I will fly in the Thompson Trophy race Labor Day. Neither ship has been clocked and it is not fair even to estimate their probable speeds. The plane in Wichita, which was damaged a few days ago when the retractable landing gear failed to drop, will not be ready before Thursday." Another plane whose nose will be turned towards the world land-plane record is a gull-wing monoplane designed and to be flown by Robert Hall.

American Navy Concentration Stirs Japanese Parliament Announcement Defies World Opinion on Manchuria Tokio, Aug. 30 (P) -Naval and military aspects of Japan's relations with her neighbors, Including the United States, and the worldwide censure of Japan's force in Manchuria were subjects for dis cussion today in the House of Representatives.

A member demanded to know what the Government WAS doing about, Navy in "concentration the Pacific." of the AmeriForeign Minister Uchida said he saw no reason why Japan spoula ask Washington to expiain its fleer dispositions or otherwise take official notice of them. Firm on Policy "As for Manchukuo (Manchu: la), he said, "Japan is confronted with an unprecedented opposition of world opinion. Nevertheless, are determined to follow the course already fixed in the face of all Opposition. "The Government is doing its utn.ost through our diplomats abroad to improve world feeling toward Japan, but thus far we can admit no optimism." The Minister of the Navy told another questioner that the Navy is considering the advisability of re-establishing the Naval Base at Port Arthur to protect Japanese and Korean fisheries along the Manchukuo coasts and also to prevent piracy. A secondary naval base maintained there was abandoned in 1924.

The Jehol Question Baron Uchida assured another questioner that the Government had no intention of restoring the Kwantung leased territory, which includes Dairen and Port Arthur, to Manchukuo following recognition of the Changhun regime. A member asked whether the Japanese army would not use "right of self-defense" to the problem of Jehol, the disputed Chinese province. He was informed that in of the international relations involved the Japanese army has no intention of taking any drastic action in Jehol in the near future but Manchukuo might use its own forces to protect its own interests in Jehol. Lay Oil Hunt to Japan Washington, Aug. 30 'P)-Chinese officials at Nanking contend that petroleum has tempted Japanese armies into Manchuria and is attracting them into Jehol Province They say that explorations of oil deposits made by Russian engineers in the employ of the Chinese Government have shown that Heilungkiang Province, the northwestern portion of Manchuria, a rich cil belt which extends southward across Jehol Province and southwestward into Shansi Province Nanking officials charge it was oil which induced Japanese armies to move northward to Tsitsbar in mid-Winter and attack Gen.

Japan's oil production in Sakhalin Island also has been slight and the wells in that island are now reported to be closed down. Coal deposits in the Japanese zone of influence in southern Manchuria have been the source of much of the fuel used by Japanese shipping and industry, but the Japanese are forced to import petroleum products with disastrous effect to their trade balance and exchange. London Is Sure Norman Doesn't Seek U. S.

Loan Accepts Harrison DenialBelieves Significance of Visit Overestimated London, Aug. 30 (P)-The emphatic denial by George L. Harrison, Governor of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, of reports that Mantagu Norman is in America to negotiate an international loan is accepted in official and business circles here as authoritative. No responsible source in London has said that the objective of Norman's visit to New York is the flotation of A $3,500,000,000 loan for liquidation of war debts and reparations. Several responsible individuals pointed out that reparations already have been liquidated.

Opinion in London is that the American visit of the Governor of the Bank of England has received an amount of publicity out of all proportion to its significance. City Hall Place Going Off the Map Mons. William Cashin, pastor of St. Andrew's Roman Catholic Church, announced today that tomorrow he will abandon his parish house at 20 City Hall Place, Manhattan, and move to 318 E. 18th that borough.

The move anticipates the early obliteration of City Hall Place, the short street behind the Manhattan Municipal Building, where Cardinal Hayes, Paradise Jimmy Oliver, Blanche Walsh and other notables were born. Originally Barracks part of this populous thoroughfare was sacrificed to the erection of the Municipal Building. The rest is to disappear with the early erection over it of the projected new Federal Courts Building.

Differing Over Terms Set for Fund Washington. Aug. 30 (P)-Silence today surrounded the $50,000.000 which Jesse H. Jones, a director of the Reconstruction Corporation, last night announced had been made available to keep Government controlled cotton off the market until 1933. He spoke over a radio hookup.

Farm board officials declined to discuss the proposed loan in any way, but it was strongly indicated there that the board and the Reconstruction Corporation were not in full agreement concerning the loan. The American Cotton Cooperative Association and the Cotton Stabilization Corporation requested the loan with Farm Board approval, but under different terms from those which the Reconstruction Corpora- tion specified in giving its approval. Had Advised No Change Only Saturday the Farm Board said in a letter to Governor Murray of Oklahoma, that there had been no change in its policy to dispose of 650,000 bales of coton during the current year. Governor Murray had suggested that by withholding the stabilization supplies, prices would be increased. For six or seven months at least all sales would be halted under plan devised by the Farm Board a and financed by the Reconstruction Corporation.

The $50.000,000 fund aggregates loans of $25 a bale on up to 000 bales of cotton and will be advanced as needed to meet finance, carrying and other charges.

McKelvey, who could still meet the "silk stocking" McKelvey's duties brought stratum of society from the top-hatted millionaire to the skulking da gangster, whose pet ambition was to "do up a cop." The old Fourth Precinct was McKelvey's balliwick for many years. It included the homes of some of Brooklyn's wealthiest citizens, and the "hangouts" of some of the toughest individuals that ever felt the crack of a nightstick. 11101 Helmets Life Savers While the gangsters of old Brooklyn did not commit as many murders as those of the 1932 variety, nevertheless they were a source of constant trouble to the police. The patrolmen in those days wore stiff helmets of the still affected by the London "bobbies." and the helmets saved the life of many a cop. One of the pastimes of the gangsters was the dropping of bricks or paving stones from tenement roofs, in the hope that the missile might crack the cranium of a passing policeman, and being made of good, stiff material, diverted the course of the missile, that otherwise would have landed the victim in the hospital.

McKelvey waged relentless war on the gangsters in his territory with such success that his neighbors of the "upper ten" got together one time and presented him with a gold chronometer in appreciation of his good work in the suppression of crime and sending criminals up the river or out to "Crow Hill." Gets Diamond Badge On his 49th birthday, March 12, 1892. a public banquet was given him at the Pouch mansion. Several speeches were made, and the gallant captain was presented with a diamond badge. Everybody in Brooklyn, except the gangsters, agreed that the honor was well deserved. The war record of McKelvey was quite out of the ordinary.

He was one of the first to heed Lincoln's call and joined the 10th New York Volunteers, one of the ouave regiments.
