called off today and pickets with
drawn by union leaders after a con-
ference with Gov. Floyd B. Olson.
The strikers. who had been in
possession of the huge plant since

posts and prepared for mass
meeting to consider a compromise
proposal on their demands for a
wage increase.
The employees struck Saturday

|0H|0 PAPERS
HOME BOMBED

MANSFIELD. O., Nov. 13. W.P)-
Desire of the underworld to retail
late for a vitriolic editorial cam
paign against crime and vice con-
ditions was believed responsible to-
day for the bombing Of the plant
of the Mansfield News-Journal
here early today.
A crude, make-shift bomb was
thrown through the front window
of the plant, evidently aimed at the
big printing presses. 1t fell short
of its mark, but wrecked the mail
ing room, blew furniture and fix
ture to pieces, and damaged ad-
joining buildings.
The explosion was the fifth
newspaper bombing here in as many
years, and like the others, was laid
to organized criminals.
Two mysterious telephone calls
were made to the home of George
j. Kochenderfer, one before and
one after the bombing. Kochen-
derfer said the person making the
first call upbraided him for his
anti-vice crusade and editorial pol
icies, heaped abuse on the News
Journal and promised, "You IL get
yours" The second call asked the
editor s wife, "How did you like
the present? There are plenty
more.'

NAZ| VICTORY
CLEAN SWEEP
BY FREDERICK OESCHSNER
United Press Staff Correspondent


BERLIN, Nov. 10. Flags flew
through Germany today in celebra-
ton of a victory at the polls for
Chancellor Adolf Hitler and his
NaZis that was expected to have
important repercussions on inter-
nal politics and German foreign
policy.
Nearly 44,0OO00O Germans turned
out to jam polling places to vote
approval of Hitler's withdrawal
from the League of Nations and
disarmament conference and to
elect $50 Nazi candidates to a one
party reichstag.
The final vote was:
Plebiscite: 43,439 046 voted. For
Withdrawals: 4o588,804 (93.5 per
cent? against withdrawal: 2,100,-
181 (4.8 per cent? spoiled ballots:
750,061 Q.7 per cent?.
Reichstag: 42,975,009 voted. For
Nazi candidates; 39626,647 1923
per cent?; spoiled ballots: 3,348,362
| 7.2 per cent?.
Ninety seven per cent of the cleo
torate voted.
The largest former vote in Ger
man general election was 100000
| last March, and Nazi campaign
managers had not expected that
more than 100000 would vote
yesterday.
AS a result of the overwhelming
support, Hitler was expected to ef-
feet an early meeting of the new
Nazi reichstag.
The reichstag's S chief task was to
draft a new constitution sounding
its doom as a really parliamentary
body and make it largely an ad-
visory and somewhat decorative
body.
Germans predicted that the sue
cess of Hitler's experiment in gov
ernment and mass psychology now
depended on his ability to bring
about steady, if necessarily slow &C.
onomic recovery and to develop a
peaceable international policy.

FEREMEN GET
STILL ALARM

Carelessness in laying lighted
cigarette on bureau is given
by Tom Reams, city fire chief,
as the cause of a blaze which de-
stroyed furniture and clothing to
the amount of $400 in a house at
769 State street early this morn
ing.
The department answered a still
alarm at 2:55 o'clock and smother
ed the flames before they could
do much damage to the building.
The house is owned by Mrs.
j. Lehotsky, who today asked The
Press to extend her appreciation
to the fire department for the eff
ficient manner in which the fire
men handled the blaze, keeping
the damage down to a minimum
figure.

MOUNT PLEASANT, N. Y, Nov.
10. U.P)-A mob of 1000 persons,
fighting and clawing for flowers
from Texas Guinan's casket, left
at least a dozen injured in what
officials today called the "most
shameful and disrespectful scene
that ever occurred in Westchester
county"
The riot occurred at the Gate
|of Heaven cemetery when the body
of the night club hostess was be-
ing placed in a receiving vault. The
milling crowd stripped floral off
erings from the casket and de-
nuded three motor cars carrying
flowers. A small police guard was
swept aside.
One man seized a wreath from
the coffin and was bearing it tri-
umphantly aloft when he was be-
seiged by hundreds nearby. All
fought for a bit of the wreath and
it was torn into many pieces. That
incident turned the milling crowd
into a mob, with every person
struggling to get souvenir.

WHITE HOUSE
CONFIDENT Of
RECOGNITION
Believe Agreement With Soviet
Will Be Reached Before Presi-
dent Leaves on Trip.
BY JOSEPH ii. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

Umted freSS stair correspondent
WASHINGTON, Nov 13. U.P)-
The White House has every hope
that the negotiations between
President Roosevelt and Maxim Lit
vinov, Soviet foreign commissar
will be successfully concluded by
Friday.
At the White House today in ad-
dition to this expression Of conf
dence as to the ultimate outcome
1t was stated that the negotiations
were progressing gradually and fav-
orably.
Asked whether recognition of the
Soviet Union definitely would come
by Friday, Stephen T. Early, Pres
ident Roosevelt IS secretary, declined
to amplify the previous statement
which indicated an early settle
ment.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. - Ne
gotiations on terms of American
recognition of the Soviet Union
moved into their second week to-
day, with Maxim Litvinov. foreign
commissar, scheduled to confer with
William Phillips, acting secretary
of state.
The Soviet official was sum-
moned Unexpectedly from a dinner
party by President Roosevelt to a
tWo-hour conference at the White
House last night The two were
Joined only by William G. Bullitt.
American expert on the Soviet Un-
ion.
The meeting of the three in the
Presidents private library con-
trasted with previous conferences of
the two principals at which they
have been surrounded with advis-
erS.
None would predict the outcome
of the negotiations, which have
dragged out much longer than ex-
pected, but there was a general
feeling in American circles that rec
ognition would result in spite of
the slow progress thus far
1t appeared that the President,
by his unscheduled night confer
ence, was seeking to speed the ne
gotiations in view of his contem-
plated departure Friday for a holi-
day in Warm Springs, Ga.
Washington was filled with con-
flicting reports of the course of the
conversations. Against Wall street
rumors that the negotiations had
broken down there were equally
persistent reports that recognition
was imminent.
Berlin heard that a snag had
been encountered in the $187,000000
debt to the United States contract
ed by the Kerensky regime. If
this debt were acknowledged by the
Soviet Union. it automatically
would become liable under the
Rappallo treaty for German claims.
The Sunday night conference
conceded with criticism Of the ne
gotiations by Chairman Hatfield Of
the Republican congressional cam
paign committee who characterized
Litvinov's invitation to come to
Washington as ga red herring to
divert the peoples mind, start an
argument on Bolshevism, and thus
temporarily conceal the collapse of
the NRA.'

RUSSIA DENIES
TWO REPORTS

MOSCOW, Nov. 13. U.P)-Reports
in usually reliable sources that
japanese army airplanes flying over
Russian Siberia had been shot down
were denied officially at the for
eign office today.
The reports, which were circulat-
ed over the weekend, said also
that two japanese auxiliary war;
ships had been sunk by fire from
the Russian coast guard. This re-
port also was denied.
Officials suggested that the re-
ports might have been started to
foster i'll feeling between Russia
and Japan, whose relations have
been strained for weeks.
Russian feeling was inflamed by
alleged japanese activities in
Manchukuo, beginning with the ar
rest of Russian officials of the
Chinese Eastern railway.
Russia charged that nine Japan
ese military planes flew over Soviet
territory near the Manchukuo from
tier November 3. 1t was in connec-
ton with this alleged flight-de-
MED absolutely by Japan-that the
reports of firing on japanese planes
originated.
Russia officially protested the al
legged flight and subsequently Pre-
mier Viacheslav Molotov announc-
ed that any violation of Soviet
frontiers would be repulsed by the
Red army.
TOXIC, Nov. 13. U.P)-Officials
of the foreign office and navy and
military spokesmen denied today
that Japanese planes even had
