Alexy Rykov, right wing Com
munist and foe of the Soviet
Dictator Josef Stain, completely
surprised those who prophesied
his political downfall by securing
reelection today to the all power
full central executive committee.
Radically opposed to the man
Of steel" on many issues of the
government and foreseen before
the election as man whose po-
litical sun was sinking fast, Rykov
was able, nevertheless, ito muster
enough support to force his re-
admittance to the inner circle Of
the Soviet government.
Elected with him to their old
posts were two other right wing
Communists whose heads also had
been declared forfeited, Nicholas
Bucharin and Michael Tomski.
The Communist congress closed
after sharp debate on the admin
istrative and political policies Of
the government. It renamed
Stain to the post of Secretary
General of the party. which places
the ruling power of Russia within
his grasp.
The new politbureau includes
Stain. Rykov, Voroshiloff, Kalinin
and Rudzutak. previous members,
and Kaganovitch Kiroff, Kossior.
KuibySheff and Molotoff, newly
elected. In these ten members
lies concentrated the executive
power of the Soviet government.

Mrs. Doyle Keeps Text Secret,
But Is Satisfied 1t Meets
Prescribed Tests, Boy Says

LONDON, July II dN.s3.
London remained skeptical today
over the outcome Of the me
mortal service for Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle at Royal Albert
Hall, when the dead author and
psychic student was claimed to
have been "seen" and heard"
Approximately 5000 curious
thronged the place last night in
the hope of glirnpsing something
from beyond the grave.
On the platform Lady Conan
Doyle and her elder son, Dennis,
faced the medium, Mrs. Estelle
Roberts.
Message Kept Secret
The latter suddenly pointed to
an empty chair and declared that
the late Arthur was sitting there
attired in evening dress. She
announced dramatically:
He's here"
A moment later she whispered
q purported message from the
spirit to Lady Doyle. The mes
sage was not given out.
It had previously been an
nounced that Sir Arthur'S first
message" would be given to the
world at the memorial service.
Answered All Tests
Although emphatic in declar-
ing she had heard from her de-
parted husband, Lady Doyle to-
day declined to reveal the ma
ture of the message she had re-
ceived at the seance. She said:
''It was q secret to me. so I
cannot say what it was. But it
was convincing and evidential
message"
Adrian Doyle, son of the novel
ast, asserted:
"The spirit messages an
swered all the tests my father
and mother had agreed on be-
fore his passing. I can c~'''
agree with mother that the
message is of so intimate a
character it cannot be made
public even to our closest
friends"

to shore and then ran more than
a mile for aid. aE-
Higginbotham and Sired were
fishing in the choppy water Of
the bay two miles off shore when
a heavy wave fcapsiEed their frsil
craft. Sired mediately started
out for shore, his companion be
ing unable to swim and battling
the rough water finally reached
the bank. ..-,
Held ON Five Hours
The point Sired managed to
reach was two miles above Cal.
vert Beach, Md, and despite the
fact he was close to exhaustion
the man ran to, the summer re-
sort and spread the alarm.
Motor craft, roWhoats and two
seaplanes went to the scene and
after five hours Higginbotham
was located still holding to the
gunwale Of the canoe. He had
drifted more than two miles from
the point where the craft capsized.
The four Woodford brothers of
Annapolis manned a rowboat and
were the first to sight the canoe
bobbing up and down In the
choppy sea. They had a difficult
time reaching the endangefed
man but finally managed to pull
him aboard.
Rescuers Towed
It was about this time that a
motorboat commanded by Capt.
Preston Woodburn of Solomons
arrived on the scene and took
the rowboat in tow. Sired was
aboard Woodburn's boat.
Craft from within a radius of
Is miles responded to an S OS
broadcast and combed the waters
Of the bay within a few minutes
after Sired reached Calvert
Beach. It was 1890 a. m. when
the canoe capsized and $3.50 p. IN.
when Higginbotham was dragged
from the water.
After resting from his ordeal
Higginbotham was able to return
to his home.
Sired Praised
Friends of the two men are
marveling at the endurance
shown by Sired in making the
long swim as he, does not. do
much swimming and his feat was
acclaimed as a remarkable
demonstration Of will, power.
