FOR L|TV!NOFF

PARIS, Oct. 81. W.P)--Maxim Lit
vinoff, Russian foreign minister, will
sail for the United States probably
tomorrow with what is believed to be
the first diplomatic passport visa
ever given Soviet Russian official
by the United States.
Though the visa does not Imply
recognition, it did constitute an i'm
portant concession and one indicat-
ing the confidence with which re-
storation of normal relations is an
ticipated when Litvinoff confers at
Washington with President Roose-
velt.
The visa usually is accorded only
to accredited representatives of ma.
tions enjoying normal relations. 1t
gives the bearer immunity from
customs and other formalities, and
to an extent gives extra-territorial
privileges.
AS Litvinoff made ready for his
departure, news came. from Berlin
that his conference enroute from
Moscow with Baron Konstantin Won
Neurath, German foreign minister,
result,ti in restoration of Journal
istic relations between Germany and
Russia.

NOT GIVE UP
UTILITY KING

ATHENS, Oct. 81. U.n, = The
Greek appellate court today de-
clined to extradite Samuel insult
to Chicago
The court ruled that insult was
not subject to eXtradition on the
basis of charges against him. He
was released.
Backed by staff of star lawyers.
insult had fought extradition for
months. He was successful in a pre-
vious hearing in winning freedom
and permission to remain in Greece.
But last summer, the United States
brought new charges against him
and the court of appeals reconsid-
cred the case.
The charge was violation of fed
eral bankruptcy laws in connection
with the aged multi millionaire
vast network of utilities companies
Insults lawyers defended him as
an innocent victim of the depres-
sion. They said also that he desired
to remain in Greece, and to try a
come back" at IA. His 74th birth
day is November II.
1t had been reported that insult
was seeking to organize new COM
panies with backing by Sir Basil
Earahoff, Europe's mystery man,
who is 83.
In the final court hearing, Insults
lawyers maintained that even if the
court ruled against him, the Greek
government still must confirm his
extradition, and might overrule the
court if it desired.
Between the time of his arrest on
the new United States charges and
his trial insult was under detehIion
in hospital, suffering from heart
trouble and diabetes.

beautiful Turkish woman, Nine

FAST ACTION
ESSENTIAL IN
RECEIvERSHIP
Senators Probing Richfield AZ
fairs Told Move Necessary To
Avoid Litigation.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 81. U.P)-
The Richfield Oil company was
thrown into receivership, and a re-
ceiver selected and approved by
Federal Judge William P. James
within the space of few hours,
Norman F. Sterry, of legal counsel
for the receivership, revealed to a
United States senate investigating
committee today.
Sterry, who followed Homer
Crotty, also of the law firm of
Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher, as a
witness, revealed that a commit
tee of creditors decided on the re-
ceivership and agreed on William
c.. McDuffie as receiver at p. m.
January IA, 1881, and that he re-
ceivership became an actuality be-
fore 10 a. m. the next day.
He said that quick action was
necessary to forestall attachments
and suits on file in state courts.
The creditors who met in the
offices of Gibson, Dunn and
Crutcher, included E. j. Nolan, of
the Bank of America, and Ralph
Hardacre of the Security First Ma
tional Bank of Los Angeles, sterry
said He added stockholders were
represented only by the board of
directors of the company, and that
the board approved the action.
Previously Crotty had defended
the conduct of the receivership.
Contrasting the affairs of the firm
under the former management and
the receivership, which he said
was the only measurement of eff
cheney he knew, Crotty said the
receivership converted loss OF
$3.50, 10000 a month into a bookkeep-
| ing profit. The receivership was
"great improvement he assert
ed.
Cash Increased
Crotty told the committee under
questioning of Senator William G
McAdoo of California that cash on
hand at the time the receivershir
was instituted was $500,000, and
that at the present time it was
| Sc, 100000. Assets had been reduc-
ed because no depreciation had
been allowed; nor was interest
paid on bonds, but expressed be-
! lief that at forced sale the COM
pany probably would bring it;
present asset value of $23,000,000.
Crotty revealed that Judge James
had signed an order for McDuffie
the receiver, to pay Price, Water
house & Co., auditors, remunera-
tion for their services Gin his dis
cetion'. The sum paid was $245,-
111.30, Crotty said.
Crotty also testified that money
for airplanes to be used by the re-
ceiver had been included in Nc
! Duffie personal expense, but ex-
planned that Richfield did large
business with aviation companies
and such flying was in the nature
of advertising.
