u. S. Is Waging War
Against USSR, Ex-
Governor Declares

1.-THE United States today is at
war with the social, political and
economic forces and doctrines of
the Communists and the outcome
is still in doubt" said former
Governor Percival P. Baxter,
speaking before business men at
Portland, Maine. Baxter, who ex-
presses the view of his class,
called American engineers in the
Soviet Union disloyal to American
imperialism.
1.-THE training OF Russian armies
by American instructors would be
no more disloyal and no more
harmful to the United States
than what is being done now by
American business men and en-
gineers.
1.-THE training Of Russian work
men and the equipping of Rus
sian factories, power plants and
giant farms is aiding and abetting
our country's most dangerous en-
envy"
The former governor urged the
capitalists to boycott commerce
with the Soviet Union.

CUBA SPREADING
Machado Clamps On
Heavy Censorship

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Cuban
Nationalist leaders here claim the
revolt in Cuba is more widespread
than Bloody Machado, president of
Cuba, admits. The Nationalist here
state that the entire Cuban navy has
gone over to the insurgent forces.
No news is allowed out OF Cuba
about the progress Of the armed up
rising. Martial law has been
strengthened here by order of Ma
chado. In an effort to end the re-
volt, Machado has offered i'm
munity" to all rebels who give up
now. None have taken his offer.
The fighting in Cuba started a few
days ago i'll several provinces, when
the Nationalist leaders observed the
growing militancy of the workers as
shown in the Havana street car

In fact, Mr. Hepbron praised
the idea. He said he saw piles of

turing door mats, pearl buttons
and other such articles for the
American market.

policeman who arrested her ana ner
ex-husband that they railroaded her L.
the reformatory in 1923.
Returning from a vacation in Ber-
muda, Andrew j. Mclaughlin was ques-
toned at length by Police Commissioner
| Edward p. Mulrooney and District At
torney Charles B. Mclaughlin of the
Bronx.
Miss Gordon fiirted with him on the
street, the policeman said, and he took
her to a lodging house. where he made
the arrest. Her accusations that her
husband conspired with him to obtain
control of their daughter were unbound
ed, he said.
Shows Girls Letter.
He exhibited a letter reading:
"You no doubt recall when you
framed Bonita Bischoff on March 8,
1923, causing her conviction for va
grancy. She is now writing to tell you
she is going to appear before the Vice
Committee and tell the whole story.
'She leaves the rest to your magma
ton, which she hopes is as good as
when your concocted those lies about
her in court.
Yours truly, B. F. B."
Miss Gordon, who also used the name
of Bonita Franklin BiSchoff, was stran-
gled and thrown out of an auto after
| comforting with counsel assisting Referee
Samuel Seabury in an inquiry into the
Magistrates Courts.
The ex-husband, John Bischoff,
deputy United States marshal at the
District of Columbia Reformatory, at
Lorton, Va, denied that he even knew
Mclaughlin or that a plot existed be-
tween them. He obtained a divorce in
Philadelphia on grounds of extreme
cruelty.
Miss Cassie Clayton Of Erie. Pa, to
| whom Miss Gordon repeated in a letter
her charges Of framing, was brought to
| New York today to be questioned by
Referee Seabury's aides.
The New York Daily News said in a
| copyrighted story today that Al Marks,
ex-conVict, would surrender for queS-
tioning In the Staying of Miss Gordon.
Says He Was Threatened.
Marks was quoted as saying that be-
tween the time Miss Gordon separated
from her husband and the time she was
sentenced to Bedford Reformatory on a
vice charge they lived together at q
hotel with her daughter, Bonita.
She held him partially responsible for
her arrest, Marks said, and threatened
him with prosecution in order to obtain
money after she was released.
Marks, who has served two terms for
grand larceny was in New York the
night OF the murder, the News said,
although he lives in New Jersey. He is
expected to present an alibi.
