QUESTION ABOUT
 ACT OF KELLOGG
Some Insist That He Rec- ognized Russia When
 They Signed Pact

Washington, Oct 20.-(UP)- President Roosevelt's reported ex- change of notes with President Kalinin of Russia today raised the question of whether this constitut- ed diplomatic recognition of the Soviet Union.
 Authorities held that the answer to the question lay in whether MT Roosevelt intended for his com munication to be so construed. Un- der diplomatic practice, as inter- preted by the state department there can be no recognition without intent.
 This view was taken by former Secretary of State Kellogg when, appearing before senate commit tee, he was asked if Americas sig nature of the Kellogg pact which Russia also signed did not con- stitute recognition. He replied that 1t did not because recognition was not intended.
 Other authorities, however, in- cluding John Bassett Moore, form CT legal adviser to the state depart ment held that the United States had, in fact, recognized Russia by signing the Kellogg pact. Last spring Mir Roosevelt conn municated directly with M. Kalinin when he addressed a cir- cular appeal for disarmament to the sovereigns of the world. The exchange between the two at that time attracted attention because 1t was the first time in many years that the United States had address ed Russia directly.

MIRA VIOLAT0RS
 GIVEN WARNING
Some Retail Merchants in New Haven May Be
 Picked Up

Hartford, Conn, oct 20.-(UP)- Warning that the period of lenien- cy for violators of the MIRA codes has ended and that prosecutions are to follow was sounded to-day by Walter J. Callopy, state MIRA manager.
 Callopy said he intended to make examples of people who are guilty of fiagrantly violating the law.
 Those who have signed had bet. ter get down to real honest effort" he said. We intend to administer the law to the nth degree and we don't care who we make examples of."
 Callopy directed special attack on certain New Haven merchants whom he did not name, but whom he indicated would be among the first to feel the force of the govern ments enforcement activities in bringing about compliance with code provisions.
 "There is a group of retail mer- chants, especially in the New Ha- ven area, who are showing no re' gard to wages paid or hours worked" Callopy said.
 A statewide checkup of condi- tions is being made, he said, and il is his intention to make examples of violators at once.

New York, Oct. 20-CUP)- Representative Samuel Dickstcin said today that the house of rep rcsentatives inquiry into alleged Nazi activity in many parts of the United States may result in recom- mendations for deportation of hum dreds of Germans reportedly m America under fictitious names. Dickstein said rccommendations might also be made for revocation of citizenship of many naturalizcd Germans. The chairman of the house committee charged that Nazi Organizations existed in IA states, that members were recruited py threats end that propaganda is smuggicd into the United States.
 Dickstein said that Tn the last three weeks his staff has gathered yoluminous material corroborating reports of e rapidly growing Nazi organization here. He said they were strikingiy similar in method and aim to the Ku Klux Klan, and financed in q large degree by a German shipping man. In some mid western cities, Dickstein add ed, the Nazi organization has joined up with the remnants of the Ku Kiux Kian. :.

DISTILLERS OF
 BRITAIN SORE
Embargo Will Kill Off About $9,0S0,000 of
 Wet Goods

London. Oct 20-(U.P.) = Brit ish distillcrs were shocked to-day at the prospect of an American embargo on foreign liquors to be imposed after prohibition repeal. Many already had negotiated huge sales to American interests. Re- ports were that advance orders. in anticipation of repeal. totalled $9,- 0S0,000.
 Distillers have worked hard to pile up stores for American con- sumption, and 1t was a hard blow to manufacturers still suffering the effects of the 1892 calamity when three-fourths of the Scottish dis tilleries closed down with a + year domestic supply on hand which they were unable to sell be- cause of high British taxation.
 Distillery shares have enjoyed a moderate boom on the stock ex- change because of the prospect o1 American sales. but when the first reports of the embargo reached here they dropped.

SECRETARY OF
 STATE HULL IS
 VERY RETICENT
But Said There Might Be Statement on Russia
 This Afternoon

Washington, Oct 2o-(UP)-Se- cretary of State Hull conferred with President Roosevelt and left the White House just as a United Press dispatch from Moscow re- ported that M. M. Litvinoff. Rus sian commissar of foreign affairs was expected to come to Washing ton to confer with President Roos- cvelt.
 Hull declined to talk at the White House saying he was return irg to the state department and would meet the press as soon as he had inspected some correspond ence awaiting him there.
 At his meeting with the press, Secretary Hull said he could say nothing regarding Russia at the moment but might have something to say later.
 This left the word from Moscow without any direct official confir- nation from American officials, but circumstantial developments left little doubt but that develop ments are imminent.
 Previously 1t became known that the president would issue state- ment at 4 p. m. The nature of it was not disclosed. But 1t was noted here that the time corresponded with the time Moscow was expect ed to issue a statement on the ex- pected trip of. Litvinoff.
 This reported development was seen here as the beginning of an end for the 16-year break in rela- tions between two of the worlds largest countries. Diplomatic inter- course between Russia and the United States was broken in 1917, after the bolsheviks swept the frail Kerensky regime from power and set up the worlds first major com munist state.
 One state department official told the United Press earlier to- day that he expected develop ment on Russia shortly. He said it would be an important an. nouncement but would not consti. ute recognition.
 Two days ago the United Pres! reported exclusively that Presiden Roosevelt had discussed the Rus sian question with his cabinet las Tuesday. Stephen T. Early, Whit House press secretary. issued { | categorical denial.

DALLAS ECAN IS
 HANGED AFTER
 HISLAST DRINK
Mystery Man of San Quen- tin Died on the Gal-
 lows To-day
BY DAN BOWERMAN United Press Stan Correspondent)

San Quentin Prison. California, Oct. 20-(UP)-Lover of poetry and the finer arts, connoisseur of good whiskey and writer of verse, Dallas Egan awoke from deep slumber today to welcome his exc cution for murder.
 The strange prisoner tasted the last of the good Bourbon granted him by dispensation of Governor James Rolph and prepared for the death he appeared to welcome. The trap was sprung at 10:01 a. m. (PST). Egan was pronounced dead at 10:13 a. m.
 Egan's early years were shroud- ed in mystery. None knew where he acquired his talent for writing verse; none knew where he learned to quote Oscar Wilde and other poets. But prison authorities be- lieved his reading during long con. | finement in state prisons developed
 his literary inclinations. Records showed that almost two | decades ago Egan, now 3S, wal | involved with police and served I tcIIIl5 dt DOth EOASSbi e@AA0 N>~s l Quentin prisons.
 When arrested for bank hold
 up police were astounded when ht confessed staying William Kirk patrick. Battle Creek, Mich, in q Los Angeles robbery.
 Egan interrupted 6his trial to plead guilty to first degree mur- der. quoting Wilde to say that he wanted to dance the dance of nimble feet, the dance of death in the hangman's noose."
 Spurning Rolph's offer to give him a clemency hearing, Egan asked only for "good whiskey and lots of it." Rolph granted the re- quest.
 Egan refused to ask Governor James Rolph, Jr, for clemency. He preferred to die, he said, because prison food, except that served in the death cell, is not to his liking,

NAUCATUCK HAS
 FIRST DEATH BY
 SCARLET FEVER
Ruth Mayberry, 0ne-Year' Old Girl of Oak Street
 Is Dead
fspccIal to thc DcInocratl

Naugatuck, Oct 20-The first death resulting from scarlet fever which has hit part of Naugatuck, occurred late last evening when Ruth Mayberry, one-year-old daughter of MT and Mrs Ernest Mayberry of oak street, died at her home, following Q comparatively brief illness. .M
 pr Walter Baker, borough health official, announced yesterday that 10 cases of scarlet fever were rang ing in town, but 1t was believed to have been pretty well under con. trol at the time, and of c mild na- ture.
 Private funeral services were held this afternoon with interment in Grove cemetery.
 As result of the child's death some alarm has been caused by parents in the Oak street district. However, the health officer sin- cerely believes that everything will be done to obstruct the spread of the disease. Rumors of closing oak street school, denied by the health officer the past week, today gained impetus, following the initial cas- ua1ty.
