Joseph Beck.

Discuss Message The two diplomats talked for an hour and a half as the train carried Gafencu across Poland toward Germany. They were believed to have discussed Roosevelt's message and the Anglo-French guarantees to help their nations resist any threat to their independence. Gafencu was expected here to day for political and economic talks with Von Ribbentrop. He will re main until after Hitler's 50th birth day Thursday, which Interior Minister Wilhelm Frick has proclaimed a national holiday for greater Germany. The future of the Free City of Danzig remained an enigma with troop reinforcements again reported both on the Polish and 'German sides of the border.

No denials have been issued here persistent rumors of plans to present the Free City, German ter ritory lost in the World war to Hit as a birthday present. Italy Boosts War Fund; May Reject Note Associated Press. ROME Italy made an additional million dollars available annually to her army for the next 10 years while authoritative Fascists yester day predicted the government would not take seriously President Roosevelt's proposals for a 10-year guarantee against aggression. The official gazette published a decree alloting the increased military funds which were decided on the cabinet last December. Part of the first year's 2a million dollars was expected to be used to meet the costs of 1,200,000 men now under arms.

A second 25 million dollars will be available when the next fiscal year starts June 1. As Mussolini's response to President Roosevelt's message was awaited, an assertion came from the Italian Senate that Italy and Germany were powerful enough to prevent any encirclement. The editorial tone of the Fascist press indicated that the Italian response to President Roosevelt's appeal almost certainly would be unfavorable. Fascists said the replies of Premier Mussolini and Chancellor Hitler, to whom the Roosevelt message was addressed, would be co-orai-nated and identical in content End Discussions With Soviet Russia By Associated Press MOSCOW Preliminary discussions on Soviet Russia's possible entry into the Britsh-sponsored anti-aggression front were believed ended last night with concrete proposals expected to be taken up by the end of this week. Soviet officials maintained silence on the progress of the negotiations and the British embassy here was equally uncommunicative.

Reports from London and Paris, however, provided foreign observers with abundant material for discussion as to the probable attitude of Moscow in the event of war in the West These reports ranged all the way from an out and out military alliance down to an agreement to at least furnish raw materials to non-aggressors defending themselves against possible German thrusts. Confirmation was lacking In any quarter here. There were no further conversa tions Monday between roreign Commissar Maxim Litvinoff and British Ambassador Sir William Seeds, who have conferred frequently of late. Belgian Cabinet Falls As Socialists Resign By Associated Press BRUSSELS Catholic Senator Hubert Pierlot formed a three-par ty coalition government yesterday, but it 'fell a few hours later when Socialists withdrew their support. Shortly after Pierlot had told King Leopold he had formed a cabinet of Catholics, Socialists and Liberals, an extraordinary labor congress voted against Socialist participation.

Three Socialist ministers immediately resigned. Pierlot conferred with the King on how to solve the continued cab inet crisis. He was expected to try td form a two-party cabinet composed of Catholics and liberals with the cooperation of technical experts. The cabinet crisis began February 27 when the coalition government of Paul Henri Spaak resigned in a storm raised over appointment of Dr. Adrian Martens, who wag accused of pro-German sympathies during the World war, to the Flem ish academy.

Dr. Martens later resigned. CHORUS MEETING TUSCOLA Douglas county DECATUR PRODUCE a 18c. Poultry Hens, all heavy breeds, 13c; No. 2 hens, 10c; leghorn hens, 10c; colored springs, 14c; black springs, 11c; No.

By on in by F. er in ENJOINS OIL DRILLING High Court Ends Fayette Dispute Staff Correspondent SPRINGFIELD Ordering a permanent injunction against drilling the land of the Durbin school in the Fayette county" oilfield, the Illinois Supreme court ruled in favor of the Carter Oil company its long battle against oil development of the school tract On an appeal by the Carter the court today reversed a ruling Judge William B. Wright of Effingham. Judge Wright's decision three months ago dissolved a temporary injunction that had been granted the Carter Co.

by Judge R. Dove to halt drilling operations by Charles Binney and his as sociates. Authority in Dispute The question involved was wheth school trustees of the township which the school was located had authority to execute an oil and gas lease on the school property, or whether the authority rested with the school directors. In the complaint filed by the Carter Oil it was alleged that the company leased the land from the school trustees on June 24, 1937, and that on July 28, 1938, Charles and Robert Binney," drilling operators, obtained a lease on the same ground from the school directors. Not Federal Grant In making his decision, Judge Wright took into consideration the fact that the one-acre tract under dispute was deeded to the school directors and their successors by Mr.

and Mrs. Eli Dial in 1880 "for school purposes" and was not a part of the land regularly set aside for school purposes by the federal gov eminent The Supreme court, however, reversed Judge Wright's ruling and remanded the case for entrance of a permanent injunction.
