RUSSRELAT|ONS.
SEEN NEAR
BY International News Service


Another indication that recognt-
ton of Soviet Russia will take
place before Congress meets, as
exclusively reported by Interna-
tional News Service Tuesday, was
seen today in the designation OF
Henry Morgenthau, jr., governor
of the Farm Credit Administra-
ton, as coordinator in matters OF
Russian trade.
Russia already has been granted
a $4,O00,000 credit in cotton pur-
chasing and is negotiating for
$50, 600, 900 to $75,000,O00 more in
cotton and non-ferrouS metals.
Settlement of American claims
Is one of the hurdles to Russian
recognition. The CzariSt govern
ment and the Kerensky govern
ment that followed it are in
debted to the U: S. Treasury
some $500, 100000, to which must
be added the claims of American
corporations for property con-
fiscated by the Bolshevists when
they came into power.
Against these claims are those
of Moscow for damages to Rus
sian property and loss of life
in the American invasion" OF
Russia in the latter days of the
World War. No amount ever has
been fixed,

PRISONER NOT
REDNOR NAZ|
ReiChstag Fire Suspect Holds
To Position in Hearing
Without Sensation

LEIPZIG, Germany, Sept. 81
G.N.SO The weak and waver-
ing political career of a 24-year-
old Dutch youth alleged by the
Hitler government to have culmi-
mated in one of the most daring
acts of incendiarism in history
was unfolded today at the trial
of five men on charges of burn
ing the Reichstag Building in
Berlin.
Prosecution and defense shared
even honors when the Supreme
Court adjourned at 2:30 p. m.
until tomorrow after Marinus
van der Lubbe, the chief de-
fendant, had spent five hours
parrying sometimes vague ques-
tions with vaguer answers.
Denies Red or NaZi
On two things Van Der Lubbe
was definite. He denies he was
Communist, and thereby SEEM
ingly shook the governments
case that the fire was the work
of Red agents. He also denied
he had lived with Nazis, thus
weakening the contention Of sup
porters in foreign lands that he
was an agent provocateur acting
in behalf Of the Hitler govern
ment.
Judge Wilhelm Buenger, who
presided, tried to show that evea
if Van Der Lubbe is not Com
munist in fact, he is one in
spirit. He said:
"When you left the Com
munist party, what ideas had
yOu?"
The answer was a shrug of the
shoulders.
Ernst Torgler. former Com
munist floor leader in the Reich
stag and another of the defend
ants. smiled as the judge tried
vainly to show that Van Der
Lubbe was Communist agent.
Not once during the five-hour
session was the fire mentioned.
The trial, hailed throughout the
world as the greatest "cause
celebre" since the Dreyfus case,
developed so few sensations and
proceeded on such a strange tenor
that it was almost weird.

COUNTRY-W WIDE
AGREEMENT ON
MILK LOOMS
Agriculture Department Has
Model Code Under Way
For Early Adoption

That aplan for placing every
milk producer and distributor in
the United States under a uni
form agreement will shortly be
announced by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration is the
belief now current in Department
of Agriculture circles, it was
learned today.
It is believed that the smolder-
ing milk problem throughout the
country will be handled by the
drawing up Of a model code,
which will be the basis for CO.
operative pacts in regional dis
tricts between dairy farmers and
distributors.
Pact for Marketing
Observers are of the opinion
that the nation will be divided
into several sections, in each of
which the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration will invite
the concurrence of all factions Of
the dairy industry in a marketing
pact.
The reports state that compli-
ance with the suggested code will
not be compulsory, but it is be-
lieved that much pressure will be
brought to bear to iron out the
tense milk situation in many
parts of the country in this way.
Gives RumOrs Color
Credence to the current rumors
is lent by the fact that Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace
said recently that milk might we'll
be classed as public utility, like
electricity and water, and placed
under public control.
This statement. it is pointed
out, could have been designed to
clear the path for national cover
age Of the dairy problem by the
department.

Although trial Of Senator James
J. Davis of Pennsylvania on
charges OF violating the Federal
laws relating to lotteries was in
adjournment today until Mon.

meet with Judge Johnson Hayes
in chambers.
A motion by the defense to

which Davis is director general,
will be argued at the meeting.
At yesterdays session, defense
counsel fought attempts to link
the Pennsylvania Senator with
purchases and distribution of al

under the guise of admission
tickets to charity dances con.
Quoted by the fraternal organiza-
tion.
James w. Reid. secretary Of a

pany, testified 100000 tickets
were ordered and delivered to
Bernard C. Mcclure, a New York
promoter. who last year pleaded
guilty to violating the lottery
laws and was sentenced to a
year and a day in prison.
Donald F. Stewart, editor Of
the Moose magazine. testified
that, although the magazine men
toned the charity balls. there
was no reference to prizes in
connection with them.

SETS
SELF UP AS
DICTATOR
Makes Drastic Reorganization
Of His Cabinet to Offset
New Political Crisis

VIENNA, Sept. 81 G.N.S).
Confronted with a grave political
crisis, Chancellor Englebert Doll
fuss has made himself virtual
dictator Of Austria by a drastic
reorganization of his cabinet,
according to an official announce
ment today.
Basing his move on elimination
of political parties, DollfuSs, al
ready Chancellor, foreign minister,
and minister of agriculture. took
over the defense and public
safety ministries.
This gives DollfuSs almost as
many portfolios as are held by
Premier Mussolini, whose aid he
sought in battling attempts to
"HitleriZe" Austria.
With the war and police min
istries under his direct control,
DollfuSs was left in a position
to exercise virtually complete
power.
The coalition between Christian
Socialist agrarians and members
of the heimwehren was reaf.
firmed, with the influence Of
the latter group curtalled.

A large woman sat in the lobby

A group of awe-stricken ad-

BIC SHOTS SEE
HUGE DEMAND
FOR ALCOHOL
High Prices of Genuine Liquor
To Help Their Racket,
Spokesman Says

The first indication that local
liquor barons are watching closely
the trend of repeal sentiment
occurred yesterday when three
higher ups among washington
"alky" circles walked unannounced
into a meeting of the National
Association Of Retail Beverage
Dealers held in the Willard Hotel.
Arriving just after Rep
resentative Fred Britten, Of Illi-
noiS, had declared that hard
liquor should be easy to get. so
that bootleggers would be de-
stroyed. the three unexpected
delegates from the underworld
heard ex-senator James E. Wat
son, of Indiana, speak in favor Of
uniform liquor laws for all the
States.
Listen to Talks
The "alky" specialists dropped
nonchalantly into the meeting, a
luncheon with about 40 beverage
retailers, ex-Members Of Congress
and newspapermen present, and
listened with apparent interest to
the proceedings.
They showed no emotion when
Watson, ignorant of their iden-
tity, urged that liquor statutes
throughout the nation should be
alike, so that the chaos of illegal
rum dealing. hypocrisy and en-
forcement troubles of the prohibi-
ton era might not be continued.
Neither did the booze barons
bat an eyelash when speakers pro-
claimed the platform of the new
association, which pleads that
bootlegging be eliminated by
keeping liquor taxes low, so that
good stuff" will be cheap.
High Cost Predicted
After the meeting, however, the
leader of the three outlaw op-
orators predicted that when prohi-
bition is ended the real Mccoy"
will be so expensive that traffic
in illegal booze will continue un-
abated. He said straight alcohol
already had increased in price
about SIS or Sc a "can" Give gal
lons), but that in the future one
pint of alcohol would be split
among 10 pints Of synthetic gin
or whisky to retail from $1.25 to
$3.50 a quart.
Informed about the presence OF
the bootleggers during his talk,
Watson stated he could not un-
derstand why they should seek in
formation so secretly, and de-
clared he would be glad to meet
and talk to them personally at
any time.
Watson also asserted that any
legitimate liquor dealer would be
happy to explain the situation
to the illicit purveyors.
Clark PresideS
Among the national figures
present at the gathering were
Watson, Britten, and ex-Repre-
sentatives S. Wallace Dempsey OF
New York and Frank Clark of
Florida. The latter, president OF
the Beverage Dealers Associa-
ton, presided at the meeting, and
characterized Watson as Moses
leading us out of the wilder
ness" :,
Britten, in an address, claimed
that if Hoover had been re-
elected at the last election only
10 States would now have voted
for repeal, instead of the 81 that
have already agreed to the action.
The platform Of the new asso-
citation includes provisions for al
lowing drug stores to sell whisky
or wine if not drunk on the
premises; permitting hotels to sell
any sort of liquor openly; prevent
ing sales to any person below 81
years of age; breaking up brew
cry ownership of retail outlets;
and the lowering of taxes so that
malt or spurious liquors will be
within everv0ne'S reach
