The safety of his collie dog was one
of the last thoughts of Sergt. Richard
T. Sebastian SIS, commander of the
Geological Park police force. who COM
mitted suicide late yesterday by inhaling
gas in his home in the 1900 block of
H street
Before opening the jets of a stove in

upstairs and shut him into a bed room
to prevent the gas from reaching him.
A short time previously he had sugg est
ed to his wife. Mrs. Lena c. Sebastian,
that she go for ride in their auto
mobile
When Mrs Sebastian returned, she
found her husbands body lying on a
kitchen table with the head over the
stove. The rescue squad was summoned
and firemen administered artificial
respiration in futile effort to revive
the police sergeant.
A certificate of suicide was issued by
DR.. A. Magruder Macdonald after an
| investigation developed that Sebastian
had been suffering from melancholia.
Sergt. Sebastian, who had been at
tached to the Zoo since 1902, was made

DE VALERA PREPARES
TO MEET DISORDERS
Will Maintain New Section of Civil
Guard-0'Duffy Denies Die
tatorship Threat.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN. Irish Free State, August 18
President Eamon de Valera announced
today the government had decided to
maintain the new section of the civil
guard, which was recruited last week
as a special reserve. fully armed and
equipped and provided with rapid
transport.
In the announcement, made through
the Irish press, Mr. de Valera said the
section would be kept ready to cope
with a domestic situation he described
as insecure.
Free State politics have been compli-
Gated recently by a controversy between
the government and the Blue Shirt
national guard organization led by Gen.
Eoin ODuffy
Discussing the reopening Of recruit
ing for the civil guard, President de
Valera said:
Confronted with the situation Of
last week, a situation which 1 am not
so optimistic as to believe is yet secure,
the government became convinced that
the depleted force could not supply
sufhciant reserves to cope with the de-
mands likely to be made upon it."
The President concluded by asserting
that the hopes of certain men that
chronic disorder would pave the way to
dictatorship would be disappointed.
Countering this statement Gen.
ODuffy published further declaration
that his organization was non-partiSan,
unarmed and opposed to dictatorship.

RUSSIA HELD COY
ABOUT RECOGNITION
Wallace Makes Comment on.
Negotiations for Huge
Cotton Purchase.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Amtorg Trading Corporation.
Soviet commercial agency, which Is
negotiating for the purchase Of 1000,
600 bales of American cotton, Is
playing a rather coy game" for recog-
milton Of Russia. according to Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace.
Wallace commented on the negotia-
tions yesterday, pointing out exporta-
ton of the cotton to the Soviet Union
would be very helpful"
on BY former Senator Brookhart, Re-
publican. of Iowa. So far they have
not resulted in any definite arrange
ments, but they will be continued,
nevertheless. Secretary wallace said.
Ask Six-Year Loan.
Brookhart who has been conducting
the negotiations for some weeks. said
the Amtorg representatives have asked
for a six-year loan to finance the pur-
chase.
Efforts to obtain the loan have been
made in conferences with directors of
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion, Brookhart said but that agency
apparently was unable to make loan
for more than a flve-year period.
Brookhart added that Russian cotton
production Is now insufficient to meet
Soviet needs and that up to 100000
bales could be sold If ample credit
arrangements could be made.
He recently characterized Russian
credit as the best in the world" and is
seeking to speed up trade to get ahead
of European countries, which already
have completed many arrangements
with the Soviet.
Have Arranged Guarantee.
Several European countries, he said.
have arranged to guarantee rs per cent
of the payment for goods exported by
their subjects to the Soviet.
The IoWan favors an arrangement
of this kind in this country, asserting
Russia is a potential customer fer many
kinds of American farm products and
industrial goods.
Meantime he is seeking to work out
method of exchange with Amtorg
representatives under which goods pro-
duced in this country would be traded
for Russian products of which there
was not surplus here.
Included among the products he be-
lieves this country could import without
injuring American producing groups are
platinum, manganese ore, furs and in
dustrial products of some types.
