Attorneys for the state announced

CraWford's office last Wednesday

Ger were shot to death.
w. Joseph Ford, special prosecu-
tor appointed by District Attorney

tician, gave him the information.
He told me he was seated as a
bodyguard in his brothers office

2 p. m..' Ford said.
CLARK spoke to George Crawford
as he entered the building. I won't

municipal judge, will have hear
ing tomorrow on the double murder
charge.
Although Clark is in Jail, his

Everything will be done by vol

UNIQUE BATTLE BEING WAGED
ALLEGED RADIO TRUST

America, General Electric, Westing-
house Electric. American Telephone
and Telegraph, and General Motors.
The federal government filed suit
about a year ago for dissolution of
this patent pool as a violation of
the Sherman Antitrust act.
The chief agitating force behind
much of this activity, operating
from a small, much Uttered office
here, is Oswald F.. Schuette, execu-
tive secretary of the Radio Protect
i've Association. He undertook his
job four years ago. under suspicious
of being somewhat Quixotic, for the
group he opposed was firmly estab-
lished as the most important and
aggressive and able in the radio in
dustry, controlling, either directly or
through licenses, the government
charged in its dissolution suits, 95
per cent of the radio apparatus
handled in interstate commerce. He
was not lawyer nor a radio ex-
pert. He was former war cores
pondent.
Schuette'S story is interesting be-
cause it is in contrast with usual
method of operation in Washington
which runs to large elaborate suits
of offices with rows of legal talent
and experts lined up behind expen-
sive desks, headed by engaging
contact men" whose expense ac-
counts at Washington hotels run
large.
Goes To Public
When I took hold of this situa-
ton four years ago I found that
many independent radio manufact-
urers had surrendered Schuette
said. Bankers were unwilling to
finance litigation against a $6,O00,-

RADICALS
LOSE ON
APPEAL
Only Frank Spector Goes
Free BY Reversal In APP
pellate Court.
VERDICT is UPHELD
Two Counts Reversed But
One Sustained in Cases
OF Six Accused.

SAN DIEGO, Cal. May 81. U.P)-
Conviction of seven Imperial VAL
ley Communists on two of three
criminals syndicalism charges was
reversed in decision handed down
by the fourth district court of ap-
peals today. Conviction of six OF
the seven on another count was
sustained.
The men were indicted at FL Gen.
tro for threatening sabotage on
cantaloupe and lettuce fields, pack
ing sheds and railroad property un-
less their demands were met.
Conviction of Frank s,oector. Los
Angeles Communist leader, was
overruled on all three counts.
The appeals were based upon
faulty and ambiguous framing of
the charges, and upon the refusal
of Superior Judge V. N Thompson
TO uphold demurrer and his refusal
TO grant new trial orders.
The group was convicted in April,
1880. Defendants were Tsuhi, Hor-
iuchi, Oscar Erickson, Lawrence
Emery, Edwardo Herrera, Braulio
OroZco Danny Roxas. Carl Sklar,
Frank Spector.
The first count, conviction on
which was reversed, accused the
group of membership in the Com
munist party and its affiliated or
ders. the trade union Unity League,
the Agricultural Workers Industri-
al League, and the Red Information
al of labor unions. The court held
with the defense that the charge
was ambiguously framed, in that it
was intended to show only men,
bership in the Communist party.
The defect is so serious. it Is i'm
possible TO say if the count contains
definite and certain statements of
the offense charged" the decision
read
Threatened sabotage on growing
fields and sheds was charged in the
second count, conviction on which
was upheld. Spector was the only
one of the defendants TO plead in
sufficient evidence on this charge.
The. third count accused the
group of conspiracy to make politi-
cal changes by force and violence,
and Of advocating overthrow of the
government.
This count, too, was declared to
be framed in involved and unin-
telligible language" in the decision,
which was written by Justice Lam
berson, and concurred in by Presid-
ing Justice Barnard and Justice
Marks.
In reversing Spector's conviction
on the three counts, the court held
there was no evidence to show he
was in Imperial Valley prior to his
indictment but had presided at Los
Angeles meetings when course of
action was debated.
The appeal was argued before the
court at Fresno last March. when
Attorney General u. S. Webb and
District Attorney Elmer Heald of
Imperial county appeared for the
respondents, and r. w Henderson.
Leo Gallagher and Alfred Blaisdell
for the appellants.
Arrest and trial of the Commun-
lists excited considerable attention
here last summer
Judge Vaughn ~ Thompson, be-
fore whom the Communists were
tried, made no comment when in
formed of the appellate courts de-
cision by the Press today, pending
the arrival of the official decision
from the court.

FEAR CREW OF
SUBMARINE MAY
HAVE PERISHED
Soviet Vessel Has Been
Submerged In Deep Wa
ter Since May %.

MOSCOW, May 81. lU.P)-The
Soviet submarine No. 9 has been
submerged at a depth of $50 feet
since 4 a. m. May %, when it made a
dive in the course of training
maneuvers of the Soviet Baltic
fleet. The number on board is un-
known.
Another submarine which was
with the No. 9 at the time OF its
descent reported to authorities. Two
airplanes were sent to inspect the
localities and they found oil in the
water, indicating presence OF the
ship below
Search has been proceeding but
the submarine has not yet been
lifted A squadron Of torpedo boats
was placed on guard.
Little hope was held that any OF
the crew would be found alive. The
presence of oil on the water was
taken to indicate that the subma-
rine may have broken open. In
addition, after five days, it was
feared that no one could have sur
yived.
The great depth at which the
submarine lay made attempts at
rescue difficult. and salvage work
almost equally so. The location OF
the disaster was given at SO north
"a east, which would be in the gulf
of Finland, off Seval, Esthonia.
Soviet Russia has small sub
marine fleet of about Is ships, of
which eight date back to the re-
volution in 1917, or before. Four
are of the Holland type, built a
few years later, and three are new,
built at Leningrad
In 1927 one of the new subma-
rines built at Leningrad was report
ed lost on trials.
