NEW YORK, October 23.-Daring
thieves who invaded the downtown
diamond market" today snatched
platinum and unset diamonds valued at
$125,000 from the safe of the jewelry
firm of Segman & Abrams at 102
Fulton street, just as William Segman
opened the vaults for the day. Segman
told police he was alone in his Office
and after removing one tray of dia-
monds from the safe, turned to reach
for another when he felt the muzzle Of
a revolver against his neck.
His captor led him, without q word,
to an adjoining room ana there bound
him to a radiator. Segman heard no
disturbance in his Office, but several
minutes later when he freed himself he
burst into the Office and found the gems
gone
His Office staff had not yet reported
for work and Segman said he did not
even know how many robbers there
were.
Fulton street used to be the police
"deadline" south of which known
criminals were arrested at sight. Some
years ago the line was moved north to
Fourteenth street.
The Segman offices are on the top
floor of a seven-story office building
principally occupied by wholesale
jewelers..

PHILADELPHIA, october 23.-The
amazing Mr.. Pinchot is the real issue in
this Pennsylvania campaign.
The amazing Mr.. Pinchot has caused
the Philadelphia Republican machine,
better known as the Ware organization,
to bolt the head of the Republican
ticket. The proud boast of the Phila-
delphia machine has been its regularity.
He has caused Gen. w. w. After
bury, Republican national committee
man for Pennsylvania and at the same
time president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, to give up his job of national
committeeman and go over to the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor.
He has caused hundreds, If not thou
sands, of Republicans, filled with en-
thusiasm for the wet cause, to aban-
don the regularly nominated Repub-
lican candidate for Governor and fol-
low the nominee of the Democratic
party.
But that is not ALL Not by joyful
The amazing Mr.. Pinchot has caused
Vance C. Mccormick, at one time chair
man of the Democratic National Com
mittee, TO leave John M Hemphill, the
Democratic nominee for Governor,
high-though not dry-and join forces
with Mr.. Pinchot, the Republican nomi-
nee for that high of1ce.
He has caused William B. Wilson,

Democratic reservation and follow him.

RUSSIAN COMMUNIST
RULE is EXTOLLED
Naturalization Plan Admittedly
Below Schedule Despite Progress
Recently Accrued.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, october 23.-Izvestia, or
gan of the Central Executive Commit
tee of the Communist party, admitted
today that the Soviet hve-year indus
trialization plan finished its second
year october per cent below sched-
ule, yet in an editorial the paper claims
a great victory all along the line for
Communist government.
The biggest deficiency was shown In
the light industries, which showed only
an IL per cent increase, against the %
per cent planned. The newspaper
calls attention to a 1871 per cent in
crease in industries to which the gov
eminent devoted greatest attention,
this being only 90 per cent under the
increase expected
The paper is jubilant especially at
what it terms the great success of col
lective farming.
Izventia also calls attention to $4,000
tractors and 100000 rubles (about
$240, GOO, 000) worth OF machinery dis
tributed during the year. Failure of
the light industries to achieve the
schedule figures Is laid to lack of raw
materials.
Attention Is called to an increase Of
go per cent in the 1880 cotton crop and
of $50 per cent in the sugar beet crop.
1.-THE national income for 1880 Is 49,
00O, 100000 rubles," (about SIS, 800,-
100000 the paper said, "of which two
thirds are in the hands Of socialized
sectors"

DEFENDS
YOUTH OF NATION
DR.. Polling Criticizes Those
Who Seek to Indict Them
for Lack of Sobriety.

Delegates to the first world convention
Of the Churches of Christ, which is
closing its sessions here tonight, heard
today vigorous defense of the younger
generation by DR.. Daniel A. Polling of
New York, editor Of the Christian Herald
and president of the World Christian
Endeavor.
Softly criticizing those who seek to
md1ct the youth of the land for lack of
sobriety, DR.. Polling declared that the
White House Conference on Youth Edu-
cation viii report its unanimous con-.
illusions to President Hoover next month
that the young people were never more
promising on the North American conti-
nent than they are right now. This
Commission, Dr.. Polling said, Is COM
prtsed of experts who have devoted an
extensive study to all the problems az
fecting the youth Of today.
PuBlicists Unfair.
The speaker declared it was unfair
for publicists and others to bring in
dictments against young people merely
on the basis Of what one hears about
hip-pocket TASKS and drinking to ex-
cess. Nor do such indictments help
toward the solution Of their problems,
he added.
'Intrinsically, the young people are
as f1ne as they ever were and as re-
Sponsive to all appeals to decency," he
DR.. Polling pointed out in the course
OF an address on 1.-THE Youth of the
Church-the Leadership of Tomorrow
that good example from parents is
due the youth Of the land. Next In i'm
portance, he said, I'VE owe them our
confidence, which they have justified,
and we owe them Jesus Christ"
Despite all reports to the contrary,
DR.. Polling declared that the name of
Jesus captures the imagination of
young people as does no other name in
history.
Russian Delegate Arrives.
His departure from Germany de-
layed because Of inability to secure an
early passport, I. s. Prokhanoff Of
Leningrad, Russia, president of the
All-Russian Evangelical Christian
Union, arrived in Washington this

program. He is the outstanding leader
Of the Christian churches In the Soviet
Union.
Today's closing session of the world

for bids were "farcical and unnecessary"
when the only equipment which will
meet the needs of the Government is
a patented or proprietary product con-
trolled by a single concern, McCarl
said that the specifications drawn by
the Air Corps in respect to the cutting
arrangements Of the mowers, were UNI
duly restrictive of competition to the
prejudice Of both the Government and
competing bidders"
Not only was the Secretary of War
told by McCarl that the order of the
Worthington company must be can
celled on account of the ''irregularity
of the advertising" but the order could
not be given to the low bidder. The
matter must be "readvertised," McCarl
said, $50 as to permit full and free COM
petition thereon"
The mowers in question were tractor
drawn f1ve-section lawn mowers, for use
In aviation fields. The bids had been

JACKSON, Mich, October ga
small fire in the basement of the Mich
igan State Prison caused a noisy dis
turbance among inmates last night
The blaze, blamed on short circuit
was extinguished without great damage
by prison and city fire fighters.
The fire started about 1870 pm.
and the large volume of smoke caused
the convicts, who rushed TO their barred
windows, TO fear that the whole struc-
ture was burning. They gave voice to
their fears and the confusion was in
creased by the shrieking sirens of the
fire apparatus of the City Of Jackson
as it moved on the prison. The blaze
was gotten under control soon after
the city firemen arrived.
Part of the disorder was due to the
turning of of the lights in the cell
blocks by prison officials, who feared
damage from the high voltage carried in
the short-circuited wires.

JEWS TO ASK j. S.
HELP IN PALESTINE
Protest Over British Policy
There Will Be Sought
From Government. :.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Influential American Zionist leaders
have formulated plans for invoking
the good Offices of the Uniec3 States
in the controversy which has arisen
between the British government and
the Jewish National Home in Pal
estine. Unless the House Of Commons
in London meantime repudiates the
program just promulgated by the gov
eminent, whereby drastic restrictions
upon Jewish immigration and land
purchase in Palestine are decreed,
American Zionists will seek to bring
about strong representations by the
United States.
Congress will not have reassembled
very long in December before protest
action will be called for. The purpose
of such action would be to have the
State Department, through formal dip
lomatic channels, bring to Great Brit
aims attention the resentment felt in
this country, both among Zionists and
non-Jews, toward ''perf1diouS Albion's''
new course in Palestine.
Convention of 1924.
The United States interest In taking
note of what ZioniSts term the "vio-
lation" of the Palestine mandate rests
upon the Americana British Palestine
Mandate Convention of December 3,
1924. The convention was signed at
London on that date by Austen Cham
berlain, then British foreign secretary,
and Frank B. Kellogg, who was Ameri-
can Ambassador to Great Britain. The
convention was ratified by the Senate
Coolidge on March 2, 1925. The Presi-
dent officially proclaimed" the conven-
ton on December S, 1925.
The purpose of our Palestinian treaty
with Great Britain was not only to as
sure the United States every right In
inundated territory that the World Wal
conquerors of Germany and her allies
acquired, but particularly to give effect
to a resolution of Congress with refer
ence to Palestine.
In 1922 the Senate and House of Rep
reading, THAT the United States OF
America ,favors the establishment ir
Palestine of national home for the
Jewish people. it being clearly under
stood that nothing shall be done which
may prejudice the civil and religious
rights of Christian and all other nom
Jewish communities In Palestine and
that the holy places and religious build
ings and sites in Palestine shall be ade-
quately protected"
Negotiated Two Years.
Initiated by George Harvey, Ameri-
can Ambassador in London, and by the
Earl Of Curzon, British foreign secre-
tary, negotiations for the American
British Palestine convention were car
ried on for more than two years II
appears to have been first suggested
from the British side that the treaty
should contain "a specific allusion tc
the policy of establishing a national
home for the Jewish people"
Lord Curzon projected this proposal
