Danzig Question May Be
Agreeably Settled; Plans
For Discussion Accepted
Rome. ? Italians outside the
Government said today that Ger
many and Italy are agreeable to
holding a conference with France
and Great Britain (or settlement
of the German claim to Danzig.
The plan was reported to em
brace three points, with settlement
of Europe's other economic and
colonial expansion problems as
the ultimate aim, Including the
Italian claims on France.
The plan on the basis of these
reports would provide for:
1. A 30-day truce In which each
power would promise to make no
move while the conference was ar
ranged among the foreign minis
ters of France, Britain, Italy and
Germany.
2. Britain, as guarantor of Po
land's security, would transmit
the recommendations of the con
ference to Warsaw with an In
quiry as to whether Poland accep
ted the solution.
Prolong Trnce
3. On Poland's acceptance of
the solution, the truce would be
prolonged for consideration of Eu
rope's otiher pending problems.
Confirmation was lacking in of
ficial circles.
Spokesmen said nothing was
known yet of the outcome of the
Salzburg meeting of the Italian
and German Foreign Ministers,
Count Galeazzo Ciano and Joachim
von Ribbentrop, and their talks
with Adolf Hitler.
8ay Plan Accepted As Basis
For Discussion
Berlin. ? A Nazi source with un
usually high officialdom said to- (
day that Prof. Carl J. Burckhardt, !
League of Nations Commissioner
for Danzig, has a plan for peace
ful settlement of the dispute be
tween Germany and Poland over
the Free City.
The plan, according to this
source, calls for t-be reunion of
Danzig with the Reich and for "a
direct and gauranteed connection
between East Prussia (including
Danzig) and Germany proper."
Reichsfuehrer Hitler, Polish
Foreign Minister Joseph Beck and
Danzig Nazi Leader Albert For
ster were said to be acquainted 1
with the plan and to have accept
ed it as a possible basis for dis
cuaaion. . L
This Nazi source said that Com
missioner Burckhardt was making
a secret trip to London to present
the plan to Lord Halfax, the Brit
ish Foreign Minist-er.
It was only today for the first ,
time that authoritative quarters
acknowledged Professor Burck-j,
hardt was in Berchtesgaden last |
week to see Hitler.
This disclosure came as officials [
were weighing t'he results of., tfce
week-end conferences among Hit- ;
ler and the German and Italian
Foreign Ministers in which Ger
many and Italy were said to have ]
set a joint course of action.
A declaration today on the Dan
zig issue said that unless it was
settiled speedily "the European
powder barrel may explode."

before be was discovered and res- 1
cued. He was working on the
farm of Messrs. N. M. and H. H.
Perry abouti three miles from
town and was going from the to- 1
bacco barns to the lot which course I
took him acrosB a branch. He
was subject, it is said, to epilep
tic attacks, and was taken with
an attack while crossing the walk- '
way over the creek and fell in, the
water being only a few inches
deep. When found a little later
lie had almost succumbed. First

The pissible use of flreproofed
cotton as an Insulating material
in the construction of bomes, of
fice buildings, and other structur
es has been suggested in Texas,
where such a process has been de
veloped.

which has been so popular in the
Mid-West Is rapidly taking hold
in the 8out>h where quick-freezing
facilities are badly needed.

Naval officers ashore said the

[rounding would simply change

Ten pontoons were used in mov
