RELATIONS WITH
RUSSIAN SOVIET
NAY BE- CHANGED
Stimson Expected To
Work Tor Agreement on
Trade Matters.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

kOHlLeu TICSS Quail SoliCoPOl4NSAAC/
WASHINGTON, March %. U.P)-
Henry l.. Stimson began his career
as secretary Of state today with in
formed observers of international
affairs speculating upon possible
change in Americana Russian rela
tions as the most interesting potcn-
tiality Of the Hoover-Stimson inter
national program.
Although President Hoover had
informed White House callers he was
holding all problems of foreign af-
fairs in abeyance until Stimson Is ar
rival, there is widespread belief in
Washington the President has made
up his mind about Sovict-Russia.
This belief is predicatcd on the
fact Mr.. Hoover, as secretary of
commerce, was in position to Oh
tain almost as complete and accurate
reports upon foreign conditions as
was the secretary of state. These
reports came from trade commission
ers and other officials who represent
the commerce department abroad.
But there is no indication in
Washington that MIR. Hoovcr's opin-
ions as to Russia have been made
known. In any event too, they
would be discussed with Stimson be
fore any final decision was reached.
Those persons who suggest the pos
sibility Of change in Amcrican-Rus-
sian relations base their opinions
upon several facts
Stability Recognized
|. As secretary of commerce, Mr.
Hoover on various occasions gave
the impression that he visualized the
Russian situation as much in the
light of economies as in the light of
politics.
>. Chairman Borah Of the senate
foreign relations committee is both
close to Mr.. Hoover ard an ardent
advocate of change in the American
attitude toward Russia.
3. American industry in recent
months has exhibited concrete cvi-
dencc of faith in Russia s stability
through granting long term credits
to Soviet subsidiaries.
4. American trade with Russia is
thriving; our sales TO Russia amount
ing to almost $l0O000,0O0 Il year
according to Soviet statistics.

Prohibition occupied the attention
of four state governments in the

day.
In Illinois the dry raid killing y
of Mrs. Lillian De King OF Aurora

of congress to control the sale, pos
session and distribution of medicinal
liquor and sacramcntul wines within
the state. There was also a move 20
repeal the state dry law.
Michigan modified its famous
"'life for pint law with amend
ments which passed the legislature
late yesterday and were before the
governor today, who is certain to
sign them since they were proposed
by his department..
From Missouri came reports Of the
first legislative move in that state
towards modifying the prohibition
laws bill introduced in the house
of representatives repeating the Me
'awlcy act of 1923, which embraces
aearly all of the states liquor laws.
Wisconsin was preparing to hold a
state wide referendum on April >

Won Schulenbcrg was an active
and successful German agent opcrat-
ing on the Pacific coast during the
World War When captured single
handed by the late George w. Smith,
then district attorney OF Santa Cruz
county, he confessed he was working
directly under the orders of the
German Consul General Franz Bapp,
Military Aide Wilhelm Won Brincken
and Naval Aide Won Setback.
When brought to bay in the Santa
Cruz mountains Won Schulenberg
was in the act of erecting a complete
radio station and had in his posses
sion materials for bomb making as
well as a number of high powered
rifles.
Federal authorities interned the
German agent and after the war de-
ported him. Secret service authori-
ties in this section, it is understood,
have no record of Won Schulenberg
returning to the United States and
it is believed that he came to Mex
leo direct from Germany.
Latest reports from the military
hospital at MeXicali indicate Fran
cisco Koenig and the three Mexican
soldiers injured in the explosion
Wednesday will recover from their
injuries. Koenig is said to have lost
a hand while the MeXicanS were
