resumed Francis-pijesumab- ly h propaganda in spue of the British-Italia- n friendship agreement Chancellor Hitler despite avowals of devotion to peace gave Europe continued jitters with a program of army maneuvers some critics regarded as a rehearsat for war Wants Firmer Stand As a result mainly of the Spanish proband Czechoslovak-Germa- n lems informed quarters said Lord Halifax now is convinced that it is impossible to have peace without taking a firmer stand against dictators anti-Britis- Chamberlain’s policy has been to try to moderate— rather than oppose ambitions completely — Germany’s toward central Europe To do this he sent Viscount Runci-mato Praha is "unofficial" mediator to appease Germany’s desire for' n control of Czechoslovakia's 3500000 minority by sonfe means short' of granting them autonomy Lord Halifax recently has been seejng Anthony Eden his predecessor who resigned February 20 in protest against Chamberlain's policy of dealing with Italy and Informed sources exGermany pressed the opinion that Lord Halifax has come to believe Eden’s stronger policy against dictators is right v Open Break Unlikely It was not suggested that there would be an open break between the prime minister and the foreign secretary but Lord Halifax was bplieved to have asked to be relieved from his portfolio as soon as it is opportune There even was some discussion of Chamberlain's retiring this fall In that event Sir Samuel Hoare home secretary probably would move up to the premiership Chamberlain in London professedly for treatment of his catarrh was reported

an attack upon Germany and Italy The Berlin foreign office mouthpiece pictured Hull as showing a "narrow The-deepc- '! mental horizon” Franco’s attitude— and diplomatic quarters feared he had given a virtual “no” to the British nonintervention plan— was believed to indicate he definitely had decided to rely on Hitler and Mussolini even if such aid cost him the cooperation of Great Britain or led

protection— for $500 a week— around the operations of a multimillion-dollci- r policy syndicate headed by the late Dutch Schultz The witness George Weinberg husky tanned former "business” associate of the slain racketeer Schultz described before a hushed courtroom a conference in 1932 at which he said plans were made to run the policy racket without too much police interference His testimony brought heated objections from Lloyd Paul Stryker chief defense counsel at Hines' trial on conspiracy charges and a demand that a mistrial be declared Stryker who earlier had denounced District Attorney Thomas E Dewey’s prosecution of the Tammany chieftain as being made up of “diabolicial falsehoods” and “the rankest perjury” lost his motion Dewey sent a flurry through the courtroom crowded when he charged in his Opening address that the" Schultz gang "bad contributed money and “thousands and thousands” of votes toward the election of former District Attorney William C Dodge Dewey’s
