Washington, Nov 21-(UP1--A secret message. purported to have been written in lemon juice across the pages of a popular magazine. was introduced by the United States government to-day at re- newal of hearings before the mixed claims commission on the famous Black Tom sabotage case.

 Bonynge said the message defin- itely linked suspects in the two cases with agents of the German government operating with head quarters in Mexico City. The mes- sage mentioned tho names of Michael Kristoff, who was alleged ly responsible 1or the Black Tom destruction and Theodore Wosniak, at whose work bench the Kings land fire was said to have been started.
 Claims of 40.000.000 were. filed against the German government in the Black Tom case. All were dis missed by the commission after hearings at the Hague in 1880. but revelation of the existence of the secret. invisible ink message re- suited In a re-opening of the case.

 Chicago, Nov 21 --- (UPl - All thinking people are shocked by the confessions of two youths to sensational crimes. One, Ignatius Varecha, IT, a child of the back streets, casually admits killing a ho1dup victim, shooting seven other men and attacking several girls.
 The other, Bert Arnold, IS. son of well-to-do parents and a bright scholar, tells of beating his step- grandmother to death with a ham- mer. She had slapped him for his impotence when denied use of her automobile.
