WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-
. (AP) — Senator Overton (D-
La), urging retention of the
existing arms embargo, told
the senate today the sale of
armaments to European bellig-
erents would constitute “armed
intervention on the part of
America.'’

asserted:

If the embargo were repealed he
said, Germany could "conceivably
take the position that we would do
little more, at present at least, to
aid the forces arrayed against her
“We could not destroy her fleet
because if is bottled up We could
not destroy her merchant marine
because England has driven it off
the high seas And public sentiment
to America now is that we shall
not send another expeditionary
force to European battlefields.
“If Germany should retaliate by
sinking our merchantmen plying
between neutral ports and by firing
upon the American flag, we shall
be forced to declare open war
against her.”

club customers, whose attendance
only Wednesday night indicated
Abilene 1* waking up to quality of

Weeks' radio, stage and dance band,
and troupers of half a dozen top-
notch acts. "
Preparations •.for the two per-
formances this evening, one at 8
o'clock before the grandstand, ’he
other to follow at the supper club,
effectively spiked a rumor heard
yesterday that Maestro Weeks would
not stay here after Wednesday
night Source of the. rumor was not
determined
"We're booked in here for the
whole week,” said the band
leader. "We wouldn't leave for
anything now." 1
His musicians and their support-
ing cast, including Comedian Chaz
Chase, had a "warmup" appearance
scheduled for 6o0clock this eve-
ning It was to be made at the sup-
per club, In the fair grounds auto
building, for 31 youngsters from the
Hendrick Home for Children and for
them alone
Chase, a prime favorite- with
those who have seen the revue, had
promised each of the children a
hamburger and a soda pop
"I guess I'm stuck for another
hamburger,” he sighed with false
chagrin in extending a reporter an
invitation to the children's show
Apparently seeing was believing
with the customers for grandstand
and suppar club shows, and word-
of-mouth advertising replaced the
first two night's slim attendance
with s crowd of more than 1,500 paid
admissions Wednesday night
Red Deputies
PARIS, Oct. 5.—(AP —The
French army was reported to-
day to have strengthened its
positions so greatly by recent
gains on the northwestern end
of the front facing Germany
as to minimize the danger of
any attempt to turn its left
flank by a thrust through neu-
tral Luxembourg.
PARLIAMENT RECESSED
Military advices said the French
army was in full possession of
Cherborg forest after a brief, close-
range battle between French and
German tanks.
The forest is in the strategic sec-
tor between the Moselle and Baar
rivers just east of Luxembourg.
On the political front police were:
taking action against members of
the dissolved communist party on
charges they were trying to put it
into operation under another name.
An order was issued for the ar-
rest of two deputies of the party.
Florimond Bonte, 49-year-old jour-
nalist. and Arthur Ramette, 42-year-
old mechanic
In an official decree, appar-
ently aimed at muzzling com-
munist deputies who have been
urging peace talks with the
reich. Premier Daladier. sent
parliament on vacation.
The action stripped the deputies
of the parliamentary immunities
they have enjoyed since parliament
was summoned to extraordinary
session Sept 2 The communist par-
ty recently was abolished by gov-
ernment order, but has been reor-
ganizing under a new name.
On the German front, reports in-
dicated. French military leaders were
strengthening their lines in the hil-
ly Saar and Paltinate sectors
Steady "nibbling" by French pa-
trols also was reported to have re-
sulted in gains to the Moselle river
sector.
Semi-official military information
said the French now were to full
possession of the Borg forest in the
pocket between the Moselle and
Saar river* near the border of neu-
tral Luxembourg.
ARTILLERY ACTION
While a general staff communique
this morning reported only ''inter-
mittent artillery actions at different
points on the front," dispatches
from Luxembourg said capture of
the Borg forest had been marked
by close range combat between
French and German tanks
These gains, it was said, placed
the French to better position to re-
sist'any nazi attempt to outflank
the Maginot defenses by advancing
through Luxembourg—a possibility
that French military men appar-
ently were not ready to dismiss
lightly
There was no evidence of any Im-
mediate spectacular military activ-
ity as the general staff appeared
bent on keeping casualties to a
minimum and using the time as an
ally to bring Germany down.
BERLIN, Oct. 5.—(P)—The news-
paper Frankfurter Zeitung reported
today that the crew of the Ger-
man liner Bremen—more than 900
men—returned to Bremerhavenglast
Friday after docking the ship in a
neutral port.
The newspaper did not identify
the neutral port but said the Bre-
men's company along with the
crew of the steamship Iller reached
Bremerhaven on the steamship
Siena Cordoba The Iller 'and
Sierra Cordoba are both German
vessels.
The homecoming seamen were
given a cheering reception and the
Bremen's captain, Adali Aherns,
was promoted to commodore by or-
der ol Adolf Hitler.

field headquarters by DNB. Ger-
man official news agency.
Officials earlier had refused to
say whether Hitler had gone to
Warsaw and his flag still flew over
the chancellery.
The Tulrer made the trip by
airplane to Warsaw where high
army officers and 3nazis wel-
comed him.
- They included Col. Gen. Walther

the fuhrer on his triumphal visit

all German police organizations: Dr
Hans Heinrich Lammers, members
of the wartime ministerial council

cil and Hitler: and Dr Otto Diet-

ity that Hitler's reichstag speech to-
morrow would outline a basis on
which hostilities might be ended

Planes Shot Down
BERLIN, Oct J— (UP)— The of-

key’s 16 year friendship with Rus-
sia is now at stake in negotiations
at Moscow, it was understood to-
day. .
Turkey was reported in well in-
formed diplomatic quarters to have
rejected two Russian demands:
L That Turkey close the
Dardanelles to the British and
French fleets to keep them
from operating in the Black sea.
2. That Turkey cancel a pro-
vision in its draft treaties with
Great Britain and France by
which Britain and France would
aid Turkey if it became involved
. in war while assisting any Bal-
kan state in resisting aggres-
sion.
The view taken in diplomatic
quarters was that Russia waa now
seeking openly to dominate the
Balkans and that Turkey waa re-
sisting stoutly.
Dispatches from Moacow were
taker to indicate that a climax was
approaching British quartan had
every sympathy for Turkey, realiz-
ing that it was confronted with the
