Hardly had Farley finished his
speech when he was handed a tel
egram from District 16 of the Com
munist Party pointing out that the
first part of his speech praising
Bulwinkle was open evidence of the
alliance of the Roosevelt admin
istration with the most reactionary
anti-la5or elements to be found in
the country. The telegram called
attention to Bulwinkle's long record
as one of the most savage enemies
of the workers to be found in the
country.
A statement issued by the. Dis
trict Committee of the Communist
Party called attention to the COM
plete silence of Farley on those
issues of greatest Importance to the
workers, unemployment insurance,
the Scottsboro case, the right Of
workers to organize and to strike
for better conditions, ETC. AS chair
man of the Democratic Party, Far
ley's speech here was an open DEM
onstration that Manville Jenckes
and the Reynolds Tobacco Co. and
other big corporations can expect
unlimited support from the national
administration.
Relief Cut of
Other than praise of Bulwinkle
at considerable length and the an
nouncement that the three cent
postage for letters will be contin-
ued, Farley's speech was of most
formal character with the usual
stock praises of "our inspiring,
courageous president, Franklin D.
Roosevelt"
There was very little applause
when Farley was introduced by
Bulwinkle and when he praised
Roosevelt to the skies. Many Of
the spectators were relief workers
who had just received notice Of
more hunger as a Thanksgiving
present. During the past few days
thousands here have received nos
tees reading:
due to lack of funds there will
be no F.E.R.A. work and FE.R.A.
relief orders during the week of
Nov. % to Nov 20, 1854. Prepare
now to meet this problem
No wonder that they did not feel
like applauding Farley and that
some booed the name of BulwinkleI

Conference
Opens Today

Wide response to the appeal of
the City Committee of the Ameri-
can League Against War and Fas-
cism for a City Conference, to
launch broad united actions against
fascist developments and war prep
arations, this afternoon at l
O'Clock at the Irving Plaza, indicates
that the Conference will have the
broadest representation.
The United Telegraphers Associa-
ton, branches of the Workmen's
Circle, the Epworth League, the
Menorah Society, the tholic
Labor Guild are among the many
labor, fraternal and youth organiza-
tons that have elected delegates,
the committee said yesterday in a
statement on its plans for the con-
ference. The text of the statement
follows:
I'VE are certain that with such a
broad representation the success of
this conference is assured. 1t is
important at this late date for all
organizations to be either repre-
sented at this conference by a dele
gate or an observer. We wish to
point out that any member of an
organization is privileged to attend
this conference. There is little doubt
in our minds that the result of this
conference will encourage all those
present to report back to their
respective organizations with a full
and comprehensive survey and plar
of action.
I'VE urge all those opposed to
war and fascism to be present al
this conference and make it vita
expression toward the support OF
the program of the American
League Against War and Fascism.

Cl1aco IN To-Day s session OF IN
Committee had attempted to
nation the present imperialist CON-
petition between British and Ameri-
can interests in the struggle for the
oil deposits Of the Chaco, in which
the South American countries,
Paraguay and Bolivia, are merely
the respective tools Of the two
powers.
In his speech, Litvinov declared
his stand on the report in terms Of
whitening sarcasm:
Il wish to give credit to the mode
rateneSs and carefulness with
which the committee prepared the
document presented to us now. The
recommendations which this report
contains bear, in my opinion, mild,
even too mild, character. How
ever, despite this, the Soviet delega-
ton would be ready to accept the
report in its present form if it were
accepted by the Assembly unani-
mously, and without much discus
sion. But in view Of there being
proposal to charge the committee
with further discussion the report
of the Soviet delegation proposes:
For Fixed Term
First, an established fixed term
for acceptance Of the recommended
tons by the parties concerned. This
term must be as brief as possible
by giving their governments sufi-
Gent time for making decisions and
for consultation, If necessary. with
legislative institutions. Simultane-
ously, it must be so brief as to pre-
vent armies from utilizing this
period for unrolling advancing
movements and making further
territorial seizures.
Embargo Must Be Strict
Second, the Soviet delegation
proposes that the embargo be of
stTicter character and should pre-
vent not only the supply and sale
of arms but also their transit. Ex-
perience has proved that in these
CAGES the facts that there was a
supply Of arms we're established, it
was not always easy to expose the
origin of these arms and find the
party guilty of their manufacture
and sale. 1t is; however, much easier
to determine which countries al
lowed the transportation Of arms
through their territory.
Il suppose that a similar prohibit
ton on arms transit might prove
more effective than prohibitions on
the sale of arms. I agree with the
remarks of my friend the Turkish
delegate concerning the introduce
ton of an embargo even before the
aggressive side is established. How
ever, this is not important if we
consider the brevity of the term
which will be fixed for acceptance
by the parties concerned in the
present recommendations.
ut is important that the en-
barge be applied with all strict
ness and energy after one or both
sides refuse to accept these rec
concentrations. The long distance
which divides us from the theatre
of military actions and the COM
paratively insignificant number of
armed forces participating there
should not lower the Importance
of the problem in our eyes. The
decisions which we shall make here
might have very important con-
sequences in the examination of
more serious conflicts and we must
all remember this. For its part the
Soviet delegation insists that the
decisions of the Assembly concern
ing this question bear a decisive
and firm character and that the
Assembly manifests frmness In
this realization"

FIND $4,000
Of URSCHEL
RANSOM
Sister of Convicted Kidnaper
Held as New Cache Is
Located at Portland

The Department of Justice an.
nounced today that 100000 more
of the Charles Urschel kidnap
ransom money has been recovered
at Portland, Ore.
At the same time, it was said,
Clara Feldman, sister of Albert
Bates who is serving a life SEN
tence in Alcatraz Federal Prison
for the kidnapping, was under ar
rest on charge of conspiracy to
aid the kidnapers.
The money, which was found in
the mountains near Portland,
brings the total amount of Urschel
money to be recovered by the
Government to $124,000 a total
of $4,000 was found near Port
land several weeks ago by Gov.
eminent agents.
100000 Paid Out
Mr.. Urschel, an Oklahoma City
oil man who was kidnapped over a
year ago by George Machine
Gun" Kelly and Bates, paid $780,.
600 ransom for his release after
eight days in captivity.
The Government found $4,000
at Paradise, Tex, shortly after
the ransom was paid.
This was said to be Kelly's
share of the crimes proceeds.
Since the conviction of Kelly,
Bates and others, the department
has made an intensive effort to To-
cate the Bates share. Bates has
been kept in solitary confinement
in the Federal prison in an effort
to make him reveal the where
abouts of the money.
Scott Is Arrested
Although he would furnish no
information to the Government,
Justice agents arrested Alvin H.
Scott at Roseburg. Ore. several
weeks ago when he had in his
possession $1,36O of the Urschel
money. The arrest of Scott, who
is a brother-in-law to Clara Field
man, opened the way to the Gov
ernment's recovery of the latest
sum.
Miss Feldman will be taken to
Oklahoma City by the Govern
ment to face conspiracy charges.
Scott, who is confined in a Port
land hospital with injuries re-
ceived in an automobile accident,
will be taken there also for trial
when his condition permits.

SAVINGS
BANK TOPAY
100000
Unexpected "Christmas Gift"
To Go to $4,000 Depositors
Starting December II
By EUGENE A. KELLY

Depositors in the defunct Park
Savings Bank will receive an un-
expected Christmas gift in the
form of a dividend of $600,OOO, IL
was revealed exclusively to The
Washington Times today.
The $4,000 depositors will re-
ceive 20 per cent of the $4,000, 900
tied up when the bank closed in
March, 1888.
Distribution of the money will
begin Monday, December IT. This
is the first dividend for the Park
Savings Bank.
RFC Loan Helps
Disbursement of the money Is
made possible through a loan by
the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration of 100000, plus the
liquidation of other of the banks
assets.
The loan was negotiated be-
cause of the liberal attitude OF
the RFC toward lending money to
closed banks. This liberalization
policy is a. direct result Of the
Steagall amendment which passed
the last session Of Congress.
The Steagall amendment was
vigorously supported by Repre-
sentative Clarence j. Mcleod (RO
Of Michigan and The Washington
Times.
May Be Only Dividend
Chances for another dividend to
depositoxs in the Park Savings
Bank appear slim, it was learned
today. To begin with, there is a
shortage of some 81 100000 which
has not yet been accounted for.
The shortage was discovered after
the death of Robert S. Stunz,
executive vice president OF the
bank, who shot himself.
The Park Savings Bank is en-
tangled in maze of legal battles
which is another reason advanced
by officials for its inability to pay
another substantial dividend.
Negotiations for the loan from

In harmony with the postwar
political affiliations of Contenen.
tai Europe, the leading powers
dramatically took sides today be-
fore the League of Nations investi"
cation of the assassination Of King
Alexander of Jugoslavia.
France and Soviet Russia threw
their support behind Jugoslavia,
while Italy sided with Hungary
and charged Jugoslavia had re-

Foreign Minister Pierre Laval Of
France d e m a n d e d sanctions
against Hungary for alleged COM
plicity in the murder, and insisted
upon adequate international regu'
lations to wipe out the menace
of terrorism. He charged the
assassins of Alexander were strik'
ing directly at European peace.
Meanwhile today Jugoslavia had
eased the regulations under which
more than 1000 Hungarian aliens
have been deported, giving many
marked for expulsion 10 to 20
days to prepare for departure
President COnsults Hull
The American Government to"
day cast anxious eyes on the Bal
kans. The danger of war be-
tween Jugoslavia and Hungary
created such concern here that
President Roosevelt discussed the
situation with Secretary OF State
Cordell Hull.
Following the White House
conference, the President let it
be known that all American en-
bassies and legations in the trouble
zone and the principal capitals
of Europe had been instructed
to inform the State Department
of every development.
Hungary Disarms Guards
In an effort to forestall possible
border incidents, Hungary stripped
it's frontier guards, including GUS
toms men, of all weapons as refu'
gees from Jugoslavia continued to
stream across the border.
The League of Nations Council
met at Geneva again to debate the
issue as the spokesmen Of all the

resentatives of Hungary and the

other midnight telephone threat
to kidnap Miss Eugene H. Grew,
17-year-old adopted daughter of
Randolph C. Grew, Boston banker
and brother of Joseph c. Grew,
Ambassador to Japan, brought a
squad of police to the Grew home
in the Back Bay today.
The family butler received the
telephone call from a person who
described himself as being the
same man who had telephoned
last Monday night and threatened
to kidnap Miss Grew.
At that time Federal agents
were called on to guard the Grew
home in the Back Bay and the

The Grew household including
Eugene, was asleep when the lat

made. The telephone rang in the
Marlboro Street home OF the

"Hello, hello, is this the Grew
hOme?"
