Post $1,000 Bond.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DES MONIES, Iowa, January a..
Iowa's Lieutenant Governor, Nelson @.
Kraschel, and an investment broker,
Carleton D. Beh, were prepared tonight
to post 81 900 bonds each on charges Of
defrauding the Government by inter.
fering with the N. r. A.
Federal Judge Charles A. Dewey ac-
cepted the recommendation Of United
States District Attorney Robert w.
Colfesh in setting that figure and
agreeing that the two men might sign
their own bonds. 1t was expected that
the bonds would be offered In court
next week. Meantime, both men are
at liberty.
Charge n. r. A. Interference.
The conspiracy charge, Federal off,
GERS said, alleged that the Lieutenant
Governor, leader In the Democratic
party in the State and former execu-
tive secretary of the Iowa P. w. A., and
Beh conspired to persuade political sub
divisions not to request 70 per cent
Federal Government loans for public
works projects. 1t charged also that
city and county officials we're then
urged by the two men to finance con-
struction work through Beh's invest
ment house here
The Government contends these al
legged acts defrauded it by interfering
with the functions of the N. R. A. and
the regulations Of the Public Works
Administration.
Kraschel was removed from his P. w.
A. post in November by Secretary Ickes,
who said at the time it was not proper
for State officer to direct the Federal
work also.
Governor Expresses Confidence.
As prosecuting and defense attorneys
agreed today that time of arrafgnment
should wait upon adjournment Of the
special session of the Iowa General As
sembly, in which Kraschel is presiding
officer Of the Senate, Gov. Clyde L.
Herring made public his first comment
since the indictments were announced
yesterday:
The most startling news of the week
has been that Of the indictment OF
Lieut.. Gov. Kraschel in connection with
alleged irregularities in public works
matters. When I appointed him to be
executive secretary of the Iowa Public
Works Board I had full confidence in
his integrity and ability and since that
Tune nothing has happened to shake
that confidence
He urged that the people of the State
give kraschel a fair and complete
hearing.
Besides the joint Indictment, a sepa-
rate indictment accused Beh Of forging
public works application from the
City of Ottumwa.

EVIL TOPIC
OF FORUM SPEECH
Representative Byrnes to
Discuss Effects on c)vern-
ment in Broadcast.

Lobbying and its baneful effects on
Government will be discussed by Sena-
tor James F. Byrnes, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, speaking on the Ma
tional Radio Forum program to be
morrow night. The National Radio
Forum is arranged by The Washington
Star and broadcast over Nation-w wide
network of the National Broadcast
ing Co.
The subject to be discussed by Sena-
tor Byrnes is a timely one, having been
brought to public attention by recent
developments, including the introduc-
ton of bills in Congress relating to
various phases Of the question.
Senator Vandenberg, Republican, OF
Michigan has introduced one bill which
would prohibit officers or members OF
the national committee of any political
party from practicing for compensation
before any department or bureau of the
Government 1t would also prohibit
persons connected with the national
committee of any party from holding
any position in the Treasury Depart
ment or any of its bureaus.
Bill Proposes Restrictions.
Senator Byrnes has a bill pending
which would prohibit members of either
branch of Congress from representing
any individual or corporation in seeking
to obtain contracts with the Govern
ment loans from the Government, or in
seeking settlement of claims against the
Government
The program will mark the forums
return to Monday evening, the time in
which it was originally broadcast when
the series was inaugurated. Recently
it has been heard on Wednesdays.
The National Radio Forum was start
ed just two years ago over National
Broadcasting Co. networks under au-
spices Of The Star, and has been con-
Quoted ever since by Oliver Owen Kuhn,
managing editor.
Leaders Are introduced.
During the last "a months Mr. Kuhn
has introduced to listeners all the out
standing leaders of the Government,
both administrative and legislative. He
has presented every member of both
President HooverS and President
ROOSevelt's cabinets, scores of Senators
and Representatives as we'll as the di-
rectors of all important Federal depart
ments and bureaus.
The weekly broadcaSts. carried from
coast-to-coast over N. B. c. networks,
are so arranged as to deal with what
ever issues are paramount at the time,
and to present governmental leaders
whose names were momentarily FORE
most in the news of the day.
Thus a listing of the program for
the last two years would give a skeleton
history Of the United States during
that period. Such issues as the bonus
marchers, the budget, the election plat
forms of the two major parties, farm
relief, foreign debts and racketeering
leaders on forum programs, as they
arose.

War With SOviet Would Start
World Revolution, Stain Says
Strife You'd End Capt.
talistic Governments,
Leader States.
Particular Criticism Leo.
elIed at japan. and
Germany.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, January 27.-War against
the Soviet Union would start q world
revolution in Asia and Europe. which
would crush capitalistic governments in
a number of countries, Joseph Stain
told the ALI Union Communist party
Congress in a speech, the text Of which
was made public tonight.
He decried the activities of "war
mongerS" having designs against the
Soviet state, but pledged his country to
be ready to fight If necessary.
I'VE warn everybody not to poke their
snouts into the Soviet potato patch" he
declared. applying by implication the
name Swine" to those nations which
cherish warlike designs against Russia.
He singled out Japan and Germany
for particular criticism in the section Of
his address which dealt with the Soviet
foreign policy.
1T is a mistake to think an ambition
to wage war against the Soviet Union
and share it's territory is held only by
japanese military circles" he said.
"Most Dangerous War"
I'VE know very we'll it is shared by
some political circles in Europe. But
II this happens 1t will be the most dam
gerous war for mankind in history, not
only because the population Of the So
Wet Union will fight to death to defend
the country, but because the war also
will take place behind the lines Of our
enemies. where our numerous friends
would deal mortal blow to those dar-
ing to take up arms against the Soviet
Union.
These latter will be responsible If
they bring about revolution In q
number OF countries in Europe and Asia
and complete the destruction Of land
owner governments"
The head of the Communist party
declared that Japan needs a non
aggression pact as much as the Soviet
Union" in recalling Russia's unsuccess-
full effort to negotiate such instruments
with the island empire in furtherance
of its expressed desire for peace in the
Far East
The Russian expression Stain used
for "snout" Is literally 'Swine's nose. :"
His speech-his first public utterance in
more than a year-consisted OF about
80, 900 words, fully one-fourth of which
was devoted to international relations.
Reviewing the successes OF the Soviet
campaign to negotiate nom aggression
pacts with neighbors and a great i'm
provement in relations with the erst-
while enemies, France and Poland,
Stain found two dark spots on the
horizon of Russia's international rela-
tions-Japan and Germany.
Japanese Blamed.
Relations between Japan and the
U. S. S. r. need serious improvement" :"
the Communist leader maintained.
"Japan's refusal to sign non-
aggression pact underlines once more
that all is not well in our relations.
The interruption in negotiations for
the sale of the Chinese Eastern Rail-
way to Manchukuo was not the fault
of the Soviet Union, but grew out of

TUCSON, Ariz, January 27.-Reward
money became q factor today In an
apparently developing controversy over
extradition of members of the Dillinger
outlaw gang and their women COM
panions, held here under bonds aggre-
eating more than 100000.
Gov. B. B. Moeur said here he would
grant extradition to any State with a
valid claim, and his office in Phoenix
announced an agreement had been
reached whereby the gangsters would
be released to Indiana, that State to
grant further extraditions as it saw fit.
Tucson authorities indicated they
might seek to hold the prisoners until
posted rewards are paid.
Entitled to Rewards"
"I believe that counties and States
paying the rewards they have posted
should be given first consideration In
extradition proceedings" said Justice of
the Peace c. " Budlong. who yesterday
named the heavy bond to keep the
dangerous Dillingers" in jail here. "for
the reason that rewards frequently 60
unpaid after extradition has been grant,
ed. The city police are entitled to
rewards for their splendid work In
rounding up the gangsters."
John L. Van Buskirk, attorney for
John Dillinger and the captive members
of his gang, Harry Pierpont, Russell
Clark, Charles Makley, Mary Kinder,
Anna Martin and Opal Long. declared
the announcement of an extradition
agreement to be premature.
The prisoners are to 60 before Justice
Budlong next Tuesday for hearing on
the charges against them, he pointed
out.
Van Buskirk, who yesterday an
nounced intention of seeking release OF
his clients through habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in Superior Court, had not
made q move in that direction today.
Widow Names Slayer.
Word was received here that Allen
County. Ohio. authorities had waived
claim to Dillinger himself today. but
would seek to return Pierpont, Clark
and Makley there for trial in connec-
ton with Dillinger's release from the
Lima Jail during the attack in which
Sheriff jess Sarber was killed.
Pierpont has been named by Sar-
ber's widow as the man who fired the
fatal shot.
Tucson authorities expressed the
opinion that if Allen County pays the
$500 reward which is on Pierpont S
head, he at least should be extradited
without further ado.
Meantime new charges, somewhat
tentative, were looming.
Walter G. Stillwell, Hannibal, Mo-,
prosecuting attorney, wired Sheriff
John F. Bolton here. asking whether
eXtradition of Dillinger on charges OF
murder and kidnapping would be grant,
ed if officers are sent here for him.

ner as among a gang which KIDNAPPED
