BERLIN, June 20. — Germany
has started large-scale troop ma-

and was reliably reported today to
be feverishly pushing its eastern
fortifications along ths Polish
1. frontier.

Admiral Andrews
of one of America’s two naval
forces, was here for a meeting of
the Waples Platter Co. board, of
which he is chairman.
Brig. Gen. C. C. Walcutt, re-
tired, of Columbus, Ohio, a room-
mate of Gen. John J. Pershing
during West Point days, was in
the. city for a birthday celebra-
tion with his cousin, Mrs. Arthur
Faguy-Cote, 1124 College. He is
78 today, and with Mrs. Walcutt
is traveling by auto to the San
Francisco Exposition.
VICE ADMIRAL ANDREWS,
V third in naval rank in Amer-

marine base at New London from
1926 to 1929, and saw the first

New Offensive Seen
The number of workers on the
eastern fortifications were practi-
cally doubled recently by the
drafting of new large numbers of
builders, military engineers and
labor front workers.
Well-informed Nazi sources ex-
pressed the view that two speech-
es made by Propaganga Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels at Danzig
during the week marked the be-
ginning of a new offensive for a
settlement with Poland.
These sources believed the cli-
max will come soon.

Leader of Bloody Battle
Regrets His Career‘Drab’
■ PRIG. GEN. WALCUTT, who led his men into bloody battle in the
%* D Philippines as a captain and emerged from that war as a major,
told reporters he was sorry his life wasn't "a more interesting story."
"I’ve just followed the normal, smooth life of an army officer,"
he said. 1 ” * .
The General
• But heside the “normal,
f smooth life" which included the
i Philippine conflict, it developed
that Gen. Walcutt was so close
a friend of General Pershing
that Pershing was the bent man
at hin wedding.
That was 1891, when careers of
both men were barely started. It
was the same year that young
Walcutt took part in an expedi-
tion against the Sioux Indians in
Nebraska.
He had started his military ca-
ceer in Texas In 1886, where he
was well acquainted with Judge
Roy Bean, the “Law Weat. of the
Pecos.”
General Walcutt saw plenty of
bloodshed in fighting days, al-
though he never was wounded,
and he hopes for peace today.
"There's not much likelihood of
war today unless somebody makes
a slip,” he said. “The difference
in now and the time of the World
war is that the people wanted to
fight then, but they don't now. It
looks to me like another war will
mean the destruction of civiliza-
tion."
But if war comes regardless
General Walcutt . But if war comes regardless-
1 "In the beginning America wouldn't have so many men. How-
H ever, in arvery short time, our army would be more efficient than
- .any other in the world, because of the intelligence of the men. We
had a volunteer army Xn the Philippines, and I don't believe there
ever was a better fighting force in the world. Now we have all the
machinery for rapid training of men. We'll be prepared if war
comes." ----:__—________

AFA President Tried
To Answer Charges
Of Mismanagement
By United Press.
NEW YORK, June 20. An
American Federation of Actors
meeting, called by President
Sophie Tucker to hear her meply
to* >bargep of mismanagement
brought by the Associated Actors
and Artists of America, broke up
in a near-riot early .today.
Three police patrol cars were
called to the Hotel Edison this
morning to restore order. Fight-
Ing which had broken out on the
floor of the meeting, was fea-
tured by a tussle between 1 a
blonde Texas showgirl and s male
member of the union who said the
girl bit him on the neck. •
Miss Tucker had called the
meeting to, order at 2:45 s. m.
its main purpose was to gain
from the membership a vote of
confidence in AFA executives.
The vote was .never taken.
As Mint Tucker, a star if many
years in vaudeville, and musical
comedy, began to speak, heckling
broke out from the so-called rank
and file group, opposed to the ad-
ministration headed by Miss
Tucker and Ralph Whitehead, ex-
ecutive secretary.
Miss Tucker appealed to the 700
actors to conduct themselves “as
ladles and gentlemen of the the-
shouts.

Final ACTION I omorrow June 19.
City authorities and backers of
the Fort Worth Sports Assn, were
near agreement today on details
of the association’s proposal to
install an ice arena in the Will
Rogers Memorial Coliseum.
City Attorney Rouer said all
major differences had been ironed
out with Seth Barwise, associa-
tion attorney, and that "only a
matter of wording" of the con-
tract remained to be worked out.
The lease agreement likely will
be ready for final City Council
action at Its mid-week session to-
morrow, Mr. Rouer said.
Mayor Harrell, meanwhile,
spiked reports that he and two
other councilmen were attempting
to block the ice rink deal.
"Every member of the council
repeatedly has gone on record as
favoring the ice rink," the mayor
said. "Every member is trying to
work out the lease agreement
with Mr. Barwise, and if it can be
done in time to have professional
hockey here next fall, I’m sure it,
would be very pleasing to every
member."
