General Motors and Radio Corpora.
ton OF America. two OF the largest
organizations in America, have
reached working agreement for
sale of their products. it was re.
liably reported on Wall Street to.

While official announcement of the

yestors that, the two mammoth con-
Germs had combined forses.
Products of Radio Corporation are

ING
LAW FOR
DC. AIM

District Attorney Leo A.
Rover will carry his campaign
against local bucket shops and
gamblers to Congress in search
of remedial legislation.
In a letter received by Sena-
tor Arthur Capper, chairman
of the Senate District COM
mittee, today, Rover declared
he was preparing a letter
which would suggest the type
of legislation needed to stamp
out commercial gambling in
the nations Capital.
This letter was . reply to .
message from Senator Capper, COM
mending Rover and his aides on
their actiyitiea. against the local
gambling fraternity. In his letter
Rover expressed appreciation of the
Senator's support and said that a
communication outlining the kind
of a law needed In the District to
drive out gamblers would be sent
TO the Capitol within the next few
days.
Senator Capper said he was glad
to receive this message and had no
doubt that the full committee would
cooperate in drafting a bin along
the lines suggested by Rover for
passage at the next session of Con-
gress. He said he did not think
there would be an opportunity for
passage of such a message at the
present special session but that the
committee might have an oppor-
tunity to study the suggested legis
lation before the regular session
convenes in December.
Senator Capper stated that he was
not preparing any anti-gambling leg
islation for the District, but was
awaiting Rover's suggestion and
would be guided accordingly. He ex-
pressed confidence in the ability of
the District Attorney to cope with
the gambling problem until badly
needed legislation Is enacted.

JEWS FOUGHT
WITH SHOVEL5

That the Jews in Palestine were
in a measure prepared for the Arab
uprising was revealed here today In
an interview with H. Perl. manager
of the Bank for Agriculture and
Industry OF Tel-Aviv and Beei-Brak.
Pearl arrived in New York Thurs
day from the Near East.
Although arms were barred in
Palestine, he revealed, the Colonists,
who had been warned OF the COM
ing uprising. were equipped with
agricultural implements for defense.
Every home in the colonies had
spades, shovels and scythes to
ward off invaders.
The uprising, Perl believes, was
the result of the Arab property
holders and tribal chiefs, leading
the illiterate Moslems to think that
the Jews were seeking to seize con-
troll of the country. The felaheen,
as the lower Arab classes are
known, are practically slaves, earn
ing only about cents daily, The
Jews, developed their small hold
ings and by intensive farming Were
able to pay the working classes
double and triple the amount Tor
their services.
Considerable suffering among the
colonists has followed in the wake
OF the Arab terrorism, he said. and
there is a crying need for funds to
alleviate the distress, he said.

T RENCH TAKE
OVER RHINE

LONDON, Sept, is u.N.s).-New
complications doomed today in the
pan-European efforts to liquidate
problems hanging over from the
war with the revelation that exo-
dus of British occupational troops
from the Rhinelands were to be fol-
lowed by entry OF French troops
into the German territory.
On the heels of the departure of
the first British troops from Wies-
baden, one of the most important
occupied towns, has come official
intimation that French soldiers are
to be stationed there to take their
places.
POpuface Incensed
The Daily Express correspondent
at Wiesbaden, in a message to his
paper today, declares the entire
population is inceRsed over the new
occupation, coming out of a clear
sky just when residents of the
town were bidding none too sad
farewell to the ''Tommies" who had
made Wiesbaden their home since
the close of the war.
The correspondent declares that
the length of time the French
troops will remain is indefinite as
''all kinds of diplomatic compiled.
tions have to be sorted out"
France Within Rights
News Of the French re.occupa,
ton caused considerable surprise
here. Although it is pointed out
that France is perfectly within hel
rights in sending forces into the
newly evacuated territory.
AS a result of the FreEeh an
nouncement, it is reported thai
Lord Shaw, British war minister. has
summoned Gen. Sir William
Thwaites. commander of the Brit
ish Rhineland occupation forces to
London Immediately for important
conferences on the situation. il
Thwaites will confer not only witt
Lord Shaw, but with Prime Minis
ter j. Ramsay Macdonald also.
Open Until June
On technical grounds, Francs
has complete justification for oc
cupying Wiesbaden, for the entire
Rhineland territory actually re
remains an occupied zone until
June of next year.
Recent dispatches from the Rhine
land, however, have told of the
JOY felt by the populace over de
cision of the British government
to begin evacuation Immediately
and reports from Wiesbaden today
described the keen disappointment
felt over the fact that contrary to
expectations the town woain moi
be freed from alien military con
troll for considerable period.

The amount which residents
of Virginia have lost through
dealings with Buck and Com
pany, local investment dealers,
is steadily mounting, and EVIL
dence now shows it to be
nearly $4,000, according to
G. Victor Verne, counsel for
the Virginia Better Trade As
ISOLATION.
B. r. Buck, head Of the concern,
Is now out on bond on a charge
OF embeZzling approximately $40.
900 in stock from z. A. Gil, III
Rehoboth, Virginia, one of the
customers OF the concern.
Other Losses Cited
!, Verne declared today that aft.
daAits and other information which
has come into his possession show
that numerous residents OF
Virginia, particularly the southern
section. have lost heavily through
transactions with the Buck com.
pany. At the time of Bucks
arrest, it was declared, there were
additional allegations of embezzis-
ment against him amounting TO
81, 900, but 1t was decided to prose
cute on the Gil complaint.
According to Verne the amount
lost through the Buck Company
win run considerably higher than
his present estimated figure of
$50, 900 when persons in other
States who have done business with
the concern and heard from.
New Action Planned
Verne is endeavoring, through
State officials, he said this morn
ing, to take action to prevent the
company and it's agents from offer
ing or advertising for sale any secu-
rifles within the State. He is also
taking up with David Satterfield,
state attorney general, the possibility
of securing the extradition of Buck
to Virginia to stand trial.
Verne also announced that he in
tends to take the matter up with the
Federal authorities to determine il
there can be any prosecution under
the national laws. He intends to
learn whether the Buck company
used the mails in its communications
with Virginia clients.
According to Verne, several addi-
tional Virginians will come TO this
city during the week to swear 70
additional charges regarding the
transactions of the company.

HOUSE, N. Y, Sept. is
(I.N.S. plans to save from
the electric chair Earle Pea
cox, torch murderer, were re-
vealed today at the trial of
the young radio mechanic for
the Staying of his 19-year-old
flapper wife.
Sidney A. Syme, defense counsel,
during examination of talesmen,
declared Peacox would take the
witness stand and admit the killing.
The defendant will also admit
taking the body away, and return
ing later to burn it, said Eyme.
First Seven Excused
Then Syne showed his legal
cards on which be hopes to obtain
second-degree murder conviction.
We expect to show that while
Peacock killed his wife there was no
actual, premeditated or deliberate
intent to KILL said Syme.
Syme also asked each juror IL the
affair" between Peacox and Fran.
ces Newman would prejudice them
against the defendant.
One juror was accepted after
forenoon spent In examination Of
talesmen. The juror accepted was
Edward C.. Rossmassler, silk
manufacturer. married and the
father of four children.
Twelve talesmen were questioned
during the forenoon. Eleven Of
them were excused, chiefly because
they had formed fixed opinion as
to the guilt or innocence of the de-
PENDANT.
The first seven talesmen were ex.
cused for various reasons, most Of
them admitting they were against
capital punishment.
Mother in Court
Behind Peacox sat his mother,
Mrs. Catherine Peacox, HEAVIEST

wiped her eyes with her handker-

The majority of prospective Jurors
examined during the forenoon were
