Wife Of Griebl. In New York Probe.
Indignant at Questioning.

NEW YORK, November CP).-Mrs.
Maria Griebl. testifying before the Fed
eral grand jury investigating Nazi ac-
tivitieS, yesterday refused to be Ques-
toned by United States Attorney
George z. Medalie because he is Jew,
and declined to swear on the Bible
because it's the old Jewish Testament"
Mrs. Griebl, wife of DR.. Ignatz T.
Gfiebl, former president Of the Friends
Of New Germany. expressed indignation
when she left the grand jury room
and learned that William w; Prayer,
assistant Federal attorney, who queS-
toned her. is also Jew.
Medalie said he had not gone to
the grand jury session because he was
too busy" with other matters relating
to the activities of the missing Heinz
Spanknoebel reputed NaZi agent.
Il never worry about witnesses re-
fuslng to answer our questions" he
said I'VE cite them for contempt.
There have been many painful expert
ences endured by recalcitrant witnesses
lately"
Before going into the grand jury
room Mrs. Griebl said: "As an Amer
ican citizen I have the right to be
questioned by gentle district at
torney or judge. consider Mr.. Medalie
e~o DidoSo diIu UclitNc llldL therefore
1 cannot get fair trial.
Il will swear on the flag. I have
sworn allegiance to the American flag.
which is so dear to us gentiles. I will
not swear on the Bible because it is
the old Jewish Testament. AS I read
between the lines they are trying to
make my husband the goat"
Mrs. Griebl is not under trial. but
her reference to "a fair trial. went
unexplained
After a half-hour session with the
grand jury Mrs. Griebl told her hus-
band, who also testified, that she had
not sworn "on the Bible, but only on
the American flag"
Federal Court attaches said there
was no American flag in the grand
jury room and added that witnesses
are sworn without Bible

PROPOSES
TOKEN PAYMENT"
Debt Proposal Reported to
Avoid Breakdown of
Negotiations.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Sir Frederick Leith-Ross, the British
debt negotiator in Washington, is re-
ported to have submitted to the Ameri-
can Government suggestion for an
other token payment to take care
of tie British debt installment of about
500 900 600 due December Is.
This proposition was made in order
to avoid a complete breakdown of the
debt negotiations and is in keeping
with the British suggestions that, since
the United States Government does not
ment of the debt question. some pay
ment to indicate the British good will
should be made.
Undersecretary of the Treasury Ache
son was closeted today for more than
an hour with Secretary OF State Hull In
the latters office. Acheson is reported
to have acquainted Secretary Hull with
the latest British proposals.
Early Answer Promised.
When Secretary Hull was asked at his
press conference whether the conversa-
tiOnS with the British were nearing an
end and whether they had reached the
point of dealing with the December s
payment rather than with a final settle
ment, he replied he thought he would
be able to give an answer later, indi-
eating 1t might come today
The fact is the British not having
succeeded in enlisting President Roose-
velt'S support for a final debt agree
ment, had suggested a token payment
the debt question out of the way. The
amount offered, however, was much too
insignificant in relation to the amounts
due, and it is reported that Acheson
turned this proposition down.
The principal reason for such pay
ment by the British was that on ac-
count of the economic troubles through
out the world and on account of the
uncertainty Of the dollar. it would be
preferable to leave matters as they
stand. with Great Britain continuing to
make such payments as she did in
June.
May Have to Default.
Failing acceptance of such a pro-
poSal, the British indicated they may
have to default, and neither the Brit
ish government nor the United States
wishes such thing to happen.
But the British tentative suggestion
LnaC the instruments 1Or Ine next Two
or three years should be taken care
OF in lump sum, payable in the
course of this year, was not acceptable
to the American delegates. 1t would
have more or less indicated that the
present economic crisis would last
much longer than the administration
expects and it also would have created
dangerous precedent for the eventual
reduction of debts to the 10 per cent
of the total amount due by the debtor
nations.
The second British suggestion that
the matter Of the debts should be MAIN
tanned in a position of a status quo is
said to be more acceptable to the Presi-
dent.
Size Of Payment Discussed.
In spite of the improved economic
and financial position Of Great Britain,
1t Is admitted the British may meet
with some serious difficulties in the
transfer of an important sum as the
one due on December Is. and conse-
quently a token payment might be ac-
ceptable.
Whether the amount Of about 10 per
cent offered tentatively by the British
will be acceptable remains to be seen.

What's What
Behind News
in Capital;
Al Smith Filtration
With G. O. P. Adds
to Worries.
BY PAUL MALLON.

|HE romance of the fat lady and
the midget can be explained far
more easily than these current
L fiirtatious signs between AL
Smith ard the Republican
master minds.
Administration Democrats are begin
ming to wonder about it. They became
uneasy when the Republicans chose AIS
good friend, George GetZ, as treasurer
of the Republican National Committee.
They consoled themselves with the
though that Al has many Republican
friends. They marked the Getz story
off as just a strange incident.
But their doubts were revived a few
days ago when the first anti-ROoSevelt
statement leaked out from the Repub-
lican National Committee.
Labeled Like Brown Derby
This statement was headed: Lets
look at the record"
Every one who has "raddio" knows
Al has copyright on that title. He
was the inventor and sole distributor of
it in national and New York State
politics.
1t is as closely identified with him
as the brown derby.
Evening star., 1933-11-03

Such sly glances could not be con-
sidered seriously if it were not for the
fact Al has become the big question
mark in the administration mind.
He lueS, speaks and urites in
question marks. His magazine
asks: Does the Star Spangled
Banner still iUaue?" rs the Con-
Stitution still there?' where are
1De 9oing?"
The administration thinks it knows
what those questions mean, but what it
would like to know is: Does the brown
derby still wave?" rs the old spark
still there?" Where is Al Smith
going?"
Nomination Talk Silly.
Most insiders believe the Republicans
are following a shrewd strategy by plan
ming their opposition in terms of Smith.
They look on the politico-editor as the
coming leader of the Roosevelt oppo-
Sition They have no idea that the Re-
pub ublicans would want to nominate
Smith for the presidency Or that Smith
would want the nomination. That
would be silly.
But they do believe that most of the
Republican leaders and Smith are think
ing along the same lines these days
This strange psychological liaison is
very apt to continue and grow more
intimate

STRIKE MEDIATION
ADVANCES IN EAST
Hope of Peace in Silk, Shoe
and Tool Plants Now
Seems Bright.

BY the Associated Press.
An end to several industrial strikes In
the East appeared in prospect today
with decisions by the National Labor
Board furnishing the impetus to settle
ment.
One decision provided that the strike
of $4,000 silk workers be called off and
the strikers be reinstated without dis
elimination. A rate of pay was estab-
lished for weavers yielding average
wages of S25 week, and the rates for
other workers fairly adjusted" to those
of the weavers.
Shoe Worker Told to Return.
The Labor Board also directed strik-
ing shoe workers in Brockton, Mass. to
return to work and vote on acceptance
or rejection of previous agreements be-
tween manufacturers and the Boot and
Shoe Workers Union. A similar ruling
was in connection with 9 shoe strike in
New York.
Striking tool and die makers in De-
troit reached agreement with two man
ufacturerS, foreshadowing the return OF
several thousand Otfer WOFkerS.
The strike of $4,000 bituminous coal
miners in Pennsylvania was the subject
of a conference between President
Roosevelt and strike leaders here with
the prospect that the miners would re-
turn to work shortly
Two youths were shot and five women
and two children injured in rioting near
Wilkes-Barre Pa. yesterday between
pickets and striking anthracite miners.
Belief that Gov. Clifford Pinchot will
move to bring about compliance with
any presidential decision to end the
mine strike expressed by Anthony

sentative in the soft coal fields.

He stressed the point that he was not
speaking for Pinchot, but his statement
was made upon his return from Pitts
burgh. where he had a long conference
with the Governor yesterday.
Members of the Alabama Dairy
League, supplying 95 per cent of
Birmingham's milk supply. today called

chase the raw milk in bulk and paSteur-
ize il, had failed to agree on the price.

ment was reached the city faced
serious milk shortage by tomorrow.
