WAR SCARE IN
EUROPE OVER
BY WALLACE CARROLL
United Press staff Correspondent

GENEVA. Dec. Il. = An inter
national crisis that had been grow
ing graver and grayer for nine
weeks since a Croatian terrorist
i shot King Alexander of Jugolsavia
at Marseille was iquidated today
and European fears of an imrni-
nent war were dispelled for the
moment.
i A Jugoslavian charge that the
E government of Hungary was NOR
ally responsible for Alexander S
murder was placed definitely in the
realm of diplomacy as opposed IN
the challenge CT battle after brief,
strained session of the League OF
Nations council.
Both the JugoSlavian and Hun
garian delegates to the league eX-
pressed their satisfaction with terms
OF a resolution adopted by the
council in which:
l. The Marseille assassinations OF
King Alexander and Foreign Min
ister Louis Barthou of France were
denounced vigorously.
2. 1t is declared that nations
must neither encourage nor toler-
ate terrorist activities directed
against other countries on their
soil.
8. Hungary is asked, as a nation
conscious of its responsibilities, to
take immediate and appropriate
punitive action against any of its
authorities whose guilt may be eS-
tablished as regards the harbor-
ing of Croatian terroristS on Hun
garian sell or the issue Of Hungar-
ian passports to some OF the ter
rorist gang which, it is charged,
plotted Alexander s murder.
4. A committee of II to study
general measures for suppression of
terrorism is established.
Jugoslayian and Hungarian gov
ernments advised their delegates
to accept the resolution but United
Press dispatches from Belgrade in
dicated Bogoljub Jevtic, JugoSlayian
foreign minister and league dele
gate, might suffer political ruin for
his part in liquidating the crisis.
It was said that JeYtic S resig-
nation was believed imminent be-
cause a group of powerful political
leaders were denouncing him for
not persuading the league council
to denounce the Hungarian govern
ment itself for the Marseille mur-
ders
It was the second impcktant VIC
tory for the League of Nations
within a week The first was when
a committee acting under league
auspices arranged the So of the
French government IS interests in
the Saar territory to Germany in
event that the January 13 plebis-
cite goes in Germany IS favor.

The fire was discovered in the

RIVERSIDE, Calf, Dec. Il W.D
War in Europe would at one
swift blow smash much that has
been gained at home by the ad-
ministrations recovery program, in
the opinion of William B. Munro,
noted historian and professor of
history at the California Institute
of Technology.
Viewed in such a light, a New
Deal" program in Americas foreign
policy outranks any other in i'm
portance, he told the institute of
world affairs in annual session
here today.
Yet, I'VE are DONG nothing" to
avert war in which we likely
would become embroiled," he said
bluntly.
ut is in Americas foreign policy
more than anywhere else that this
country needs a New Deal"
Munro said. Much of what we
are trying to do in the United
States in the way of recovery will
smash up if Europe starts a gen.
eral war.

When the two boats disengaged,
the Ruth Alexander proceeded to

up and struck her.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. Il. U.P)
The ferry boat Calistoga and the
liner Ruth Alexander crashed in
San Francisco bay today as the
Calistoga was pulling out of her
San Francisco berth enroute TO VAL
lejo. on the east shore of the bay.
The Calistoga carried approx
mately 100 passengers. it was said.
Officials believed there were no
casualties.
The Ruth Alexander. an admiral
liner plying between Pacific coast
points. rammed full into the Calls
toga. striking the ferry about 30
feet from the bow. The smaller
ferry boat almost tipped over on
her side.
Passengers and crew members
thought the ferry boat was sinking.
Spectacular rescues were started
Immediately. The Ruth Alexander,
stuck deep in the side of the Calls
toga. stretched ropes and passen-
gers climbed from the top deck OF
the ferry to the top deck OF the lin
er.
Small navy boats put out from
y. s. naval vessels and circled about
the two ships on the theory that
some passengers might have been
thrown into the bay, or leaped into
the water in panic.
Captain A. Samuels of the Calls
toga claimed he sounded two whis-
ties aboard the Calistoga as the
ferry backed out of the slip. The
blasts were ignored by the Ruth
Alexander, Captain Samuels said.
The Ruth Alexander was arriving
from Seattle. She was under COM
mand Of Captain F. I Nystrom and
carried 130 passengers, with a crew
of lao men.
