 COMMUNISTS
GOering Was Very Bitter as He Makes Novel
 Plea in Court

Berlin, Nov 4 - (U.P.)-Her- mann Goering, Chancellor Adolf Hitler's chief aide, delivered a two hour speech against communism to-day at the supreme courts hear ing of the reichstag incendiary trial.
 Goering, dressed in an undeco- rated storm trooper uniform, stalk cd grimly through lane of hands raised in the Nazi salute and took the stand.
 He described the Nazis methods of dealing with Communist terror ists." His speech was largely repetition of the one he made last Mrach, just after the reichstag fire, when he outlined what he said were communist plans for an arm- ed uprising.
 Many government officials and diplomats attended the hearing.
 Goering's appearance was dra- matically staged. For the occasion the police guard outside the burn ed reichstage building, where the trial is being conducted, was doubl- ed. Even George Dimitroff, 51- year-old Bulgarian writer who at the onsiest of the five defendants has reused the court of wrathy de- nunciation, was present as a guest guest because technically Is un- der Q ,three-day suspension from his own trial. -- 7sf"eFv

 Tt Is superfluous to answer the grotesque libels," said the Nazi chieftain at the outset of his two hour speech.
 Tt goes without saying that have not paid the slightest atten- ton to them. Through my agents I know how one book containing the charges came into existence anyone who needed money could contribute to 1t.

GREEK TREATYTO
 CAUSE RUPTURE IN MATTERS OF STATE
American Legation at Athens May Be Asked
 to DenOunCe Treaty
INSULL CASE IS
 CAUSE OF ANGER
On Two Separate Occa. siOns Greece Turned
 Down United States

Washington, November 4 - (UP) - The State Department, it was learned today, is planning to denounee the extradition treaty be- tween the United States and Greece because of the latter's refusal to permit the extradition of Samuel Insull, Sr, Chicago utilities mag nate, wanted for trial in American courts.
 The American legation in Athens, it was understood, will bc instructed to inform the Greek government that the United States considers the treaty entirely use- less.
 Text of the departments instruc- tions to the legation probably will be made public within the next "A hours, after the legation has had an opportunity to deliver the note.
 On two separate occasions the Greek courts have refused to per init Insult to be taken from Greece by Justice Department agents to face charges fembezzlement pre- ferred against him by Illinois courts. It is understood that the State Department will make it clear to Greece that this government considers the decision of it's couit unjust and unwarranted.
 The refustl of the Greek court to permit eXtradition was based on the contention that the charge preferred against InSull in tn United tSates was not in Greece an extraditable offense.
 State department officials eN plained that the word "denouncc'' rather than "renounce" was used to describe their intended action toward the trcaty to indicate thas 1t was considered worthless ana unsatisfactory. A reaty which was satisfactory might be "renounccd' 1t was explained, because of the changes in circumstances. without implying that 1t was unsatisfao- tory at the time 1t was negotiated
 The treaty was put in,o force last November 2. when Mnistcr Charalambus Simopouios of Greece and then Secretary of State Stim- son exchanged notifications at tha state department.
 When request for Insults eX- tradition was first made in the fail of 1882. the treaty was not in ef feet. !t had been signed and rati fled by both countries but rattiica- ton had not been exchanged and the treaty had not been promui- gated.
 However, on two separate occa- sions since the treaty came into effect, the Greek courts have re. fused to permit Insults eXtradition despite what the state department considers it's clear treaty right to return him here.

 Bowling on the green Is one of 'Scotlands favorite, if not outstand- ing, pastimes.

BROADWAY SHOW GIRL MURDERED
 IN JERUSALEM
Joan Winters and Indian Companion Found Dead
 Near Mount of Olives

New York, Nov A. (U.P.) - Mystery surrounding the murder of pretty Joan Winters, Broadway show girl, at the foot of the Mount of Olives was heightened to-day when 1t was revealed that she was in the Holy Land to get material for book.
 Mrs Beulah Godfrey believed the slain Joan Winters was her daugh- ter, Carol Godfrey, and that she used her stage name in her travels. The mother said sch was awaiting official governmental information.
 If the girl was her daughter, Mrs Godfrey could reveal little that would give clew. She did, however, tell of receiving slip of paper in one of her daughters let. ters about two months ago. It read:
 q stood in the shadow of death and reached out my hand-and life took 1t unto hers"
 John Taft, (Hotel St George, Brooklyn, an uncle of Carol God frey, said the girl wrote her father Albert Godfrey. asking that her November allowance be sent to her eSI ISpiHSp Cetip VI SOoNo <heShSy' t
 He said he had cabled the Amer ican consul at Jerusalem for in- formation regarding the girl and of the murder. He also asked the state department at Washington for official proof the slain girl was his niece.
 Jerusalem, Nov 4--(U.P.) --- An exhaustive police investigation was made to-day for clues and motives of the slayers of Joan Winters, beautiful American dancer believed to be from New York City, and Mohamed Karamini, her Indian companion, whose bodies were found in Q secluded olive grove at tho foot of the Mount of Olives near Gethsemane Garden where Judas betrayed Christ.
 Apparently the girl and her com panion were shot from ambush. An aged monk of the convent in the Garden of Gethsemane found the bodies at q spot usually unfre- quented except at Eastertide when devout pilgrims go to the Holy ground.
 The girl and the Indian arrived in Palestine two days ago by tour- ist steamer. It was understood the Indian was government employe. ite was believed to have met Miss Winters in Athens.

Dozens of books about Washington had come out year after year but the Merry -Go-Round" books were the first to be welcomed by the public with a feeling that here for the first time people were being made ac- Quainted with an inner actuality of washington life. The books were written with @ sprightliness that made them exciting but this sprightliness of touch did not hide the underlying seriousness of the achievement.
 Experts recognized that the books deserved to be studied for their profound knowledge of the actual working of American gov ernment. The authors showed themselves better informed than the political science professors Throughout the books ran Q def mite passion for truth, the stories that had to be told if the light of knowledge were to break through the fog of press agentry that pro- tects people in high places.
 Throughout ''The Daily Washing ton Merry -Go-Round" run the same qualities that made the book so widely popular. Through the daily column there runs Q keen appraisal of values-political, so- cial and sheer entertainment val- ues. The column is authoritative, informative and most of all it is alive with a sensitive perception and appraisal of the changed and constantly changing Washington scene.

Mussolini To Amaze World With Ne1v Plan
Will RevoIutionize His Native Land With the Most Drastic System of Government in History
 of the World
BY THOMAS B. MORGAN Copyright 1888 by United Prcss)

Rome, Nov 4 - (C.P) - Pre- mier Benito Mussolini will outline to the nation next Wednesday his plan for one of the most drastic revolutions of governmental system in world history.
 He will detail his long consider ed ideal of the twentieth century capitalistic state. It is comparable in its scope only to the proletarian state of Soviet Russia. and 1t is calculated to put Italy in pioneer ing role.
 Main features of the new Italian state are:
 decentralization of cabinet du- ties, with Mussolini himself hold ing seven of the presnt fourteen portfolios.
 2-Absolute separation of politi- cal and economic government.
 3-Probable complete abolition of the chamber of deputies. its present political powers to be turned over to the senate.
 Economic government will be centered in the fascist guilds or corporations, with Mussolini re- taining his portfolio of minister of corporations to control them.
 The strictly legislative branch of the government, as at present con- stituted, will be limit I to matters such as education, penal codes, courts, national defense, fine arts and foreign affairs.
 Mussolini's speech will make 1t clear that the dramatic fascist march to Rome October 26. 1922, when Italy was faced with bolshe- vism, was only Q step on long path toward government fitted to the modern age.
 It will make 1t clear that the Ag- islative powers must be based on
