NUMBER 2S
NAZIS OPEN
DRIVE TO
CLEAR DANZIG
Free City of Danzig, Jjily 19. ?
Danzig's new political police, the
Free City's counterpart of the Ger
man Gestapo, today smashed what
Nazis described as a ring of "Soci
alist dynamiters."
The purge to crush remnants of
any opposition to the local Naal
government coincided with an
nouncement that the police force
had been increased to about 4,000
men on active duty.
Police said that 20 "Marxists"
had been jailed on charges of
treason. Officers were so confident
that all opposition had been over
come that they declared only three
more men actively hostile to the
Nazi plan for reuniting Danzig
with Germany were still at large.
Authorities said the arrested So
cialists were die-hards who refus
ed to recognize changed conditions j
when the Nazis became dominant
in 1933. The authorities asserted
they had evidence that the Socia
lists conspired to bomb bridges j
and public buildings in event of a
clash witih Poland.
They added there were indica- '
tions that those arrested had "re
lations with a hostile foreign pow
er and in official circles no effort
was made to conceal an opinion
that the "foreign power" was
Poland.
Military Bristle Quickens
Evidence of military activity,
meanwhile, Increased in Danzig.
Several small detachments of hel
meted men were seen in the
streets. Military trucks appeared
frequently, moving between bar- !
racks on the Danzlg-Zoppot high
ways and Danzig's two hills- ?
Bishofsberg and Hagelsberg. Sev
eral German army officers were
observed on the streets and hel
meted dispatch-bearers sped about
on motorcycles.
But by and large. Danzig ap
peared normal. On the streets
there were about as many uni
forms as are to be seen in almost
any German city.
"But we are' confident that the
protective measures are adequate
for defense against any conceiv
able attack, an official said. "We
know that in event of aggression
from Poland, we shall have to de
fend ourselves only, a few hours
before we get assistance from the
German Reich.
In a message to Warsaw, the
Danzig senate complained that five
carloads of Baltic sea herring,
caught by Danzig fishermen and
intended for the Polish market
had been held up on a sidetrack at !
the border.
The Senate contended that ac
cording to treaties and established
commercial practice, fish caught
by Danzig citizens might be ship
ped freely into Poland. Senate of
ficials said tonight that Poland
had promised to release the ship
ment.

New Parking Ordi

culled to u parking ordinance
adopted by the Commissioners
of the Town of Loiiishurg. A
full publication of this ordi

umn of this issue of the ?''rank
tin Times. It is understood
that this ordinance was passed
at the suggestion of the State
Highway Commission, especially
as to that portion of \Main and
N'nsh Streets affected thereby.
On account of the opening of a
shorter North and South route
through the town which will be
effected upon completion of the
Huleigli road Via Kolesville, the
State Highway Commission in
sisted that steps be taken to re
lieve the congestion of traffic on
Main Street. It is also expected
and hO|>ed that It will prove a
iM-neflt to the people throughout
the County and adjoining coun
ties and towns visiting Louls
burg. While at first it may
prove awkward ^nd inconven
ient to residents of the town it
self, the cooperation of all the
citizens of the town and espec
ially the merchants, business
and professional men who may
be forced to leave their car at
home and walk, is asked. The
Town is already 11141k in* ar
rangements for free parking
lots and it is expected these will
l>e available by the time the or

worthy of this higher honor and

GERMAN OFFIC
IALS PLEASED
j ? ?
Berlin, July 19. ? Government
officials were content merely to
beam today when asked for their
reaction to postponement of re
vision of United States neutrality
legislation until 1940.
"Naturally, we are not sorry.
We certainly are not going to cry
about it," was the only comment.
Under the heading, "Alarmist
Roosevelt," the Voelkischer Be
obachter, however, declared t>he
President's "war policy is above
all the creature of his own per
sonal ambition ? namely to become
President a third1 time."
The newspaper, regarded as
Adolf Hitler's mouthpiece, con
tinued, "He knows very well that
powerful opposition to t'his plan is
at work even in his own Demo
cratic party and he thinks he can
meet the considerations which
speak against his reelection by
benumbing the American people
through continued war scares and
thereby making them politically
incompetent to judge."
Assails "Trick"
The newspaper said 'the use ot
an American ambassador's report
describing the danger of a Euro
pean war in an effort to win over
Senators to revision of the "em
bargo" act was a Roosevelt "trick
so often used that it has become
ineffectual and could not move the
Senators."
"And if Herr Roosevelt again
found it necessary to attack th?
Fuehrer and Mussolini personally,
then this disreputable artifice is
merely characteristic of Ohe be
havior of a man who has contri
buted more than any other person
toward spreading war panic."
