ing Of Aged Pair In
Florida.

pie. were slain with an ak in their
home at MacClenny, Fla, yesterday,
1t was learned here today.
Three Jacksonville negro draymen,
employed by the couple to move their
household effects to Jacksonville, are

not finished.
A short-handled ak was found in
the Reich home, Sheriff Joe Jones of

Reich's small savings, which he drew
out Of the bank yesterday.
A f1ngerprint expert Of the Jackson
Vile Police Department was sent to
MacClenny today to examine the AK.
Bloodhounds from the State prison
farm at Raiford probably win be

Termed "Barbaric Outrage"
The news Of the cold-blooded mas
sacre at Moscow has Mortified Europe,
says the Sunday Observer, which con-
demns both the Voikoff murder and
the Moscow executions as "barbaric
outrages by white Russia in Warsaw
and by Red Russia in Moscow" 1t
adds that these are part Of the whole
fernent created by the rupture of
Anglo Russian relations"

BRITISH THREATEN
TODETHRONE SHAH

MOSCOW, June 11-Shah Heza
Khan Pahlevi has been threatened
with dethronement by the British
Minister, Mr.. Give, unless he adopts
a policy less friendly to Soviet Russia.
according to q story received here
through Soviet sources in Teheran.
The rupture between Great Britain
and Russia indicates the Importance
Of either Persia or Turkey as an ally
should the present irritation develop
into hostilities. Along their Northern
frontiers stretches the Transcaucasian
federation, the richest in proportion to
size among the six republics in the
Soviet Union. 1t includes the oil fields
Of Azerbaidjan and the minerals Of
Georgia.
Should this treasure storehouse of
Soviet Russia become prize Of war,
the friendship of Persia and Turkey,
which now is with Soviet Russia,
would be a valuable factor in the
struggle.
Recently, according to a story circu-
lating in Moscow, the British Minister
called on the Shah and demanded dis
solution of the cabinet headed by Has.
san Khan Mostofi, because it had re-
fused permission to the British Air
Service in Egypt and India to fly over
Persia and because of its delay in ap-
proving a pending agreement with the
Anglo-Persian Oil Co., in which the
British government is interested.
When the Minister hinted that
Soviet diplomacy was influencing the
erN 0Na< ,A l.
Shah started to leave the room. The
Minister pointedly reminded the Shah,
according to the story, that he owed
to England his rise to power, adding
that there were several other aspir.
ants and it still was not too late to
pick another. The interview ended
abruptly.
Several days later the Shah request.
ed the Minister to call at the palace.
The latter refused, pending instruc.
tions from London.
