 Mrs Vanderbilt earlier had gone on the stand for further cross-ex- animation. Herbert c. Snythe of opposing counsel, asked her to identify letter, purportedly IT m little Gloria which had not been previously introduced in evidence.
 Burkan questioned it's authentic ity. He said that he also wanted time to retain a photographer to take pictures of certain statuary and pictures in the Whitney mu- scum. He plans to use them as evidence against Mrs Whitney, sponsor of the museum.
 A member of Mrs Vanderbilt's legal staff claimed that he could tell from the Courts attitude" that Supreme Court Justice John F. Carew had made up his mind to leave the child in Mrs Whit ney's care.

DRASTIC LAW OF
 RUSSIA ENACTED

Moscow, Nov 5-(UP)-The gov ernment announced today the first application of it's drastic law which provides that the families of per- sons who desert" the Soviet Union shall suffer in place of the actual "deserters." The military colle- gium of the supreme court pro- fnounced the death sentence against Sergei vononkov, young seaman, charged with deserting his ship at EGdynia, Poland. and refusing to re- turn.
 The sentence was pronounced under a decree of last June against traitors and, deserters." The de- cree was aimed at making an of lenders family suffer in his ab- scnce. It provides that if a sol- dier or sailor escapes his imme- diate household of people living with or supported by him shall be deprived of all civil rights and he exiled to Siberia for five years. Presumably this fate awaits vonon- Ikov's family.

REV CHARLES E. COUCHLIN ASKS
 NEW POLITICS
Takes Crack at Both Old Parties Still in Favor
 of Roosevelt

Detroit, Nov 5=OP)-The nas.
 ton needs new deal in politics r
 democracy is to survive "corl- mon coffin with capitalism" i" the Rev Charles E. Coughlin, said in his Sunday sermon. Both capitalism and democracy must undergo q self-administered c1 n si ng or threats of socialism and dictator- ship may materialize, he said.
 "A cleansing from without is revolution" Father Coughlin revolution" Father Coughly11 warned. The present administra- ton, he said, is a combination Of progressive members of both major political parties and the latter, as such, are "a1l about dead" ''The time has come when sober men of a progressive mind. be they former republican or democrat, and of equally sober men of a conserva- tive mind indifferent to their old party affiliations, must begin build- ing two great new parties" The next two years. Father Coughlin maintained, will decide whether true democracy--not old political parties-is to survive.
 ''The people of this nation are holding responsible neither repub- licans nor democrats to rescue our country from this depression" he went on. "Was it not under a re-E publican regime that we were final- ly trapped in this depression? Was it not under a democratic adminis- tration that we were seduced to participate in the World war? Il is our form of government-our democracy that is on trial. If 1t fails, dictatorship stands in the offing with it's cruel trappings of socialism"
 The priest urged voters in Tues days elections to further the cleansing campaign by picking devoted to the public interest," He asked successful nominees to unite with President Roosevelt irrespective of party affiliations. "For if he fails, con- gress fails," the speaker said. ''If he fails he will be remembered as the last president of this demo- cratic capita1istic nation."
