CUP).-Russ Columbo. &c noted
motion picture and radio singer,
died in Good Samaritan hospital
here last night from a bullet
wound in the head inflicted acct
dentally while he was examining
an old Derringer pistol.
The singer succumbed less than
six hours after the tragedy. Brain
specialists performed a delicate
operation in an unsuccessful at

which pierced Columbo's brair.
The fatal mishap occurred at
the home of Lansing V. Brown,
Jr,, Hollywood photographer, who
was showing two ancient weapons
to Columbo. The pistol in Browns
hand discharged and the ball
ricocheted off a desk, striking the
singer above the left eye.
Brown, a friend of the singer
since childhood, was brief strick-

held by ponce.
''Russ came over to the house

match and planned to snap the
trigger to light it. Just as a
prank!
"When the trigger mapped

Detectives said the lighting of
the match detonated the powder,
firing the ball.
Columbo had just completed
work in the picture "Wake Up

one of the most popular members
of the film colony. His fan mail
averaged 5000 letters week.

SOVIET DEBT NEGOTIATIONS
WITH u. S. in TANGLE OVER
LIMIT OF PROPOSED CREDITS
Russians Deny Reimburse

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8. CUP
The Soviet debt negotiations are
snarled in a CONTROVERSY involv-
ing the length and amount Of
credits which the United States is
prepared to grant the U.S.S.R., it
was reported in reliable quarters
here today.
Printed statements that settle
ment of a debt past revolves
about the Soviet position with re-
gard to private American claims
for confscated property and de-
,faulted bonds were denied in Rus
sian circles.
One authority said this subject
was not even controversial. There
was no indication however, that
Secretary Of State Cordell Hull,
who is conducting the negotia-
lions with Alexander Troyanov-
sky, the Soviet ambassador, was
making much progress.
The latest development oc-
Cured 10 days ago when Troy
anovsky presented a new Soviet
proposal. The state department
promptly described it as giving
no basis for optimism. While the
contents of the note were not
made public, it was reported the
I Soviet ne":1n had asked for a
greater an cunt of credit and a
longer time in which to repay the
money than the American officials
deemed advisable. 90 .. ,
Under this plan Of settlement,
the Soviet Union would repay
their debt involving approximate
ly $400,000,00O and Kerensky
loan of $192,000,000 by paying
higher interest on the proposed
credit. Meantime the credits
would be used to purchase heav-
lily. frprn American industries.
Tho p.S.S.R. needs badly, it is
said, Hallway equipment, signal
apparatus, production machinery,
copper, raw cotton and breeding
stock.
Maxim Litvinov, Soviet foreign
commissar, has indicated that his
country is prepared to spend ST.
O0O,000,000 for purchase of sup
plies from other nations in addi-
ton to regular annual expendi-
lures. Of this amount 60 per cent
could be spent in the United
States if suitable credits can be
arranged. -.
J Experts pointed out last night
the credits would not have 70 be
granted directly to the Soviets,
They could be granted to Ameri-
lean business firms selected by
Moscow officials. These firms in
turn would re-grant the funds to
the Soviet Union.
The fate of the negotiations is
problematical A strict wall of Sc
crecy has surrounded them from
the first. 1t was plainly evident
today, however, that the next
move is up to the state depart
ment.
President Roosevelt was adj
vised of the developments last
week by Walton Moore, assistant
secretary Of state, who has been
assisting Hull in the negotiations
The chief executive made no COM
ment after Moore's visit.
