Sharp 'No' Is Hitler Answer To Roosevelt
- Calls Peace Plea Breach Of Good Manners; Demands Return of Danzig To Germany
Berlin, April 28—(UP)—Adolph Hitler today secreally rejected President Roosevelt's peace message, demanded return of Danzig to the Reich, and denounced treaties with Poland and Great Britain.
"I must decline to give any explanations to anybody except to the nation, for whose security and safety I am responsible," he said of Mr. Roosevelt's request for a non-aggression pledge to 31 nations. He called the President's appeal a breach of good manners.
In one of the most eloquent speeches of his career, and possibly in its implications the most portentous, Hitler, addressing his Nazi Reichstag, swept over the problems of German industrialism. Mr Ronesteig with sharp-tongued on unemployment and America's role in world affairs.

He denounced the German-Polish friendship treaty on the ground that Poland had violated it by entering an "encirclement" pact with Britain.
In disclosing his demand for the return of Danzig, Hitler compares Poland's present position to that of Germany's former member-bered that post-war republic.
He denounced the German-British naval limitation treaty as having no basis because of Britain's present policies.
In both instances he softened the denunciation by offering to negotiate new treaties, and he repeatedly declared Germany's desire for peace by asserting that Europe's status as a leader was no compromise in his denunciation of the request of President Roosevelt for a 10-year, and if possible, a 25-year non-aggression pledge cover 31 nations, in return for a world conference on disarmament and trade. He offered lithium and treaties with nine of the nations which would offer suitable terms.
Hitler taunted the President with such statements as:
"I have led Germany out of chaos and have increased production. I have done all this without bloodened, Mr. President. You and I, Mr. President, came to power at the same time and you had resources at your disposal. Mr. President, which excelled ours a hundred times. I am sure that you will work with your problems that now you turn to the world at large. I work on a smaller scale. I have to confine myself to the destinies of the nation of which I am the head."

by jimmy robertson
As Sarah Williams, the plaintiff, Roberta walked to the witness stand, a bewildered and timid girl suffer's from severe mental and physical shock after having been stood up at the church. Then she dropped her legs and poured out the story of a broken heart to the all male jury.
She told of the amorous advances of John Foster (Jack Lafler), of a holiday trip to Wichita with him, and of nights spent together in Chicago, climaxing it all by reading his beautiful letter of encouragement, "without your life would be an empty shell, devoid of all reality . . ."

Roosevelt Sleeps While Hitler Answers Proposal
Hiyde Park, N.Y., April 28—(UP)
- White Adolf Hitler addressed the German Roelacht and every man, woman and child in Germany, the man whose appeal for peace he was answering — Friedrich Roesselt — defiantly.

Mr. Roosevelt regarded Hitler's speech, it was said authoritatively, as a speech only and in no sense an answer to the appeal he made to Hitler and Benito Mussolini on April 15. He anticipates a direct reply from both of them. Mussolini made a speech a week ago which many considered his reply, and today Hitler made his.

Frost's Literary Style Is Explained By W. S. John on
The works of Robert Frost, eminent American poet, was the topic of a lecture given by W. S. Johnson, professor of English, yesterday afternoon in Spooner-Thayer museum. Mr. Frost is to appear Monday night at Auditorium, as an added attraction to the University Concert Course.
Professor Johnson read some of the best-known of Frost's poems, including "Mending Wall," "Birches," and "Accenture."
While the poetry of Frost is typically New England in its subject matter, it contains general worldwide truths and observations of human nature. The poet was born in California, but moved to Massachusetts when he was 10 years old. His poetry shows no trace of his early years in the West, and he appears as a New Englander in the horror and sorrow of the work of Robert Frost is characterized by a simplicity which is the real mark of greatness. He uses a conversational tone and often employs understatement. However, his poems contain symbolism, and there is always something behind his picture.
His first poem, "My Butterfly,
was published when he was 15
years old. He published no further
work until 1913 when "A Boy's
Will," a book of lyric poems, was
printed. Other books by Frost are
"North of Boaton," "Mounted Inter-
val," "New Hampshire," "West-Running Brook," and "A Further Range."
Russian Fliers Over Iceland
Roykjavik, Iceland, April 25.
(UP) — The Russian Moscow to New York airplane was sighted off the south coast of Iceland.
Moscow, April 28. (UP)—Two Russian fliers streaked over Scandinavia today on a projected non-stop, 4,600 mile flight from Moscow to New York in a two-motored monoplane.
Reports from the plane's radio indicated that all was well aboard and that its speed was averaging 150 miles an hour.
The fliers, Brig. Gen. Vladimir Kokkikan, pilot, and Maj. Mikhail Gordienko, navigator, carried a message of good will to the New York World's Fair, and a letter to President Roosevelt from the Russian government, the author of which he will be President Mikhail P. Kallung.
Should they maintain the 150-mile speed, they would arrive in New York about 4 a.m. Saturday.
Their course was the great circle route, over Sweden and Norway, the North Atlantic to Iceland, the
southern tip of Greenland, Laborbr and Newfoundland, New Brunswick, the coast of Maine, over Boston to Floyd Bennett field, New York.
