MOTION PICTURE
 AGENTS MISSING
Bandits Wreck and Rob Express Train-Five
 Killed in Wreck

Harbin, Manchuku, Aug 31.- (UP)-Two American motion pie ture officials were missing to-day i, after bandits wrecked the Har- bin-Hsin- Kiang night express killing five persons including three professors of the Imperial univer- si:y at Tokio.
 Those missing were Robert Lurl Dana. Manchukuo representative oi the Metro Mayer com pany, and John Johansen, the company's far eastern manager, believed to be a Danish subject.
 J. J. Russell, the company's sales manager, escaped.
 After robbing the travellers, the bandits reportedly abducted 80, almost all Orientals. Among oth- CTS reportedly kidnapped were a Japanese woman and two civilian officials of the Japanese Resource Laboratory.
 The wreck and robbery occurred at Hsuanchenkpoa, a town midway between Hsinking, the Manchurian capital, and Harbin. junction point where the line connects with the Chinese Eastern railway.
 Similar banditry along the Chin csc Eastern Lines has led Man. chukuo and Japan on one side and Russia on the other into sharp verbal conflict. Russia has pro- tested arrests of Soviet citizens by Manchukuan officials who claimed those arrested were in collision with bandits. The Russians claimed sabotage o. the line was due to inadequate protection and to a campaign pointed at forcing Russia to sell its share cheap!y.

MORE ATTACKS ON
 JEWISH PEOPLE
Rudolph Hess Follows in the Footsteps of Chief,
 Adolf Hitler

Berlin, Aug 31-(UP)--An or- der forbidding almost any contact by Nazi party members with Jews was distributed to party organs to- day. The order was distributed by direction of Rudolf Hess, deputy leader of the Nazi party. It was believed to be a caluculated warn ing against continuation or inten- sification of the boycott against German goods, as voted by the re- cent world Jewish conference at Geneva.
 It contains the following specific prohibitions:
 No Nazi party member shall be represented in court by Jew ish attorney.
 2-No Jew may be given letter of introduction or recommendation by a party member to Q govern ment official or party functionary.
 3-No money shall be accepted from Jews in party collections.
 4-No Nazi shield shall be dis played in a Jewish store.
 5-No party member may be seen in 8 public place with Jew. and party members must avoid even private relationships with any kind of Jews.
 Hess order was the first officia, indication of mathematician m months. AS it went out, newspa- pers gave indication of Q renewal of the anti-Jewish campaign, with complaints against renewed arro- gance" of Jews in public places. Anti-Jewish speeches were expect ed at next weeks Nazi party con- vention at Nuremberg.

reorganization" Some time ago 1 he was mentioned for the chair manship before the latter group took on definite shape.
 Tonight's meeting will take place at 8 o'clock in headquarters. With a majority of the town committee made up of reorganizationists, the latter group will have the power of naming the new committee of- ficers.
 Conway Retires
 This morning, reorganization headquarters reported, ex-Alder- man Jaeger visited several of those elected to the town committee in Tueday nights caucusing and sought their support for the chair manship. The news was flashed back to reorganization leaders in very short time. With Town Chair. man T. E. Conway of the organi- zation group retiring tonight, it is possible that some of this faction may introduce the name of eX- Alderman Jaeger. The reorgani- zation group was prepared to stand 100 per cent behind Attorney Palomba for town chairman, there by insuring his election.
 Mrs John c. Sherwood has been mentioned for the office of vice chairman of the town committee. However. it was learned early this afternoon, 8 conference was to be held to decide whether or not the post would go to her or to some body else. If Mrs Sherwood doesn't go on as vice-chairman it is pos sible that she will be picked as state central committeewoman from the 18th senatorial district.
 Sandland to Be Reelected
 The town committee tonight will have no power in naming the state central committee members. This power lies in the hands of the city delegates from the 18th and 18th senatorial districts, respectively. In other words, eX-Mayor William H. Sandland and Mrs Lura Dutton are assured of reelection to the cen tral committee from the 16th dis trict because they control the city delegates from that district. In the 18th district it Is an assured fact that Attorney Palomba will be elected to the central committee with the woman member yet to be decided upon. She will be of the reorganization group, nevertheless.

 STILL MOURNING
Queen of Netherlands Is 54 Years Old To-day;
 C0nSOrt Died July }

Aasgaardstrand. Norway. August S1 - (UP) - A sorrowing queen observed her 54th birthday today as she recuperated from . nervous breakdown. Wilhelmina, ruler of the Netherlands, Is still mourning the death of her prince consort. Prince Henry, who died July 3. Princess Juliana, heir to the throne, was visiting royal relatives in Great Britain when her father died. The death was heavy blow to mother and daughter. They are the only two remaining representa- tives of the ruling house of Hol- land - the House of Orange Nassau - for late in the spring of the year the Queen-mother died.
 The queen-mother acted as re- gent for the present queen when she ascended the throne at the age of 10, upon the death of her father, William III of Orange. Eight years later, when the young queen came of age, the mother faded in- to the political background. Will helmina came to the throne as ;L child. Through all the years of her immaturity, the queen-regent exercised a tremendous influence on the destinies of Holland When she retired from active participa- ton in the country's affairs. she had obtained a lasting hold on the affections of her people. Wilhel- nina married in 1901. She took as her husband Prince Henry. younger brother of the ruling Grand Duke of Mecklenburg- Schwerin. Eight years later the only child of the marriage. Prin- cess Juliana, was born.

News that ex- Alderman Jaeger had approached several of the reorganization town committee members leaked out at noon and caused much consterna- tion in the quarters of the "irreg- ulars" who tonight assume control of the committee.
 Indications early this afternoon pointed to the election of Attorney F. w. Palomba as chairman of the new republican town committee. There was some doubt as to who would be chosen vice-chairman but it was practically an assured fact that the posts of secretary and treasurer would go to Arthur Blewitt and Adam Callan, respec- lively.
 Candidacy a Surprise
 The campaign on the part of eX- Alderman Jaeger for the chair manship came as surprise to the leaders of the "reorganizat tion" to- day in view of the fact that he played neutral stand in the fight between the regulars" and the

LACE PLANT HAD
 MANY TROUBLES
FlOridian Furnishes Aqua
 riums With Delicate Moss

Washington. D. C.-(UP)-Al- bert Greenberg, Fla, claims to be the only man in the world who sells Madagascar lace plants as g profession. His product is in great demand for aquariurns.
 Greenberg was in Washington re. gently drumming up trade with the superintendent of the famous de. partment of commerce aquarium wherein is housed many species o1 rare aquatic life.
 The Floridian did not inherit his peculiar profession, nor was Il thrust upon him. He went out and made 1t himself.
 Many Troubles
 If you think it is easy to be a tycoon of the Madagascar lace plant industry, listen to the trouble Greenberg encountered in build ing up his business.
 Realizing the scarcely of the plant, Greenberg wrote to 6 Frenchman he met during the World war, who referred him to 2 friend in Madagascar. He then communicated with the man who lived on the African Island and three months later received a te' ply-in French.
 After having the letter trans lated, he discovered the man ir Madagascar couldn't understand his letter. So he had a letter writ. ten in French.
 This time reply came back ir English. Greenberg couldn't make head nor tail of it, the grammar was so bad. Greenberg was righl back where he started.
 Correspondence at Last
 But he didn't give up. He wrote again. A reply came back. This time they were able to understand
 The Madagascar gentleman said he had gone for into the main land searching for the plants. most of which had been eaten by na- lives. It seems the roots are oi :, potato-like delicacy. A few had been rescued, however, and they had been shipped to Greenberg.
 His troubles had just begun. A stamp collector spied the stamps on the package, noted their beauty, and tore them off, A clerk, noting IHc ldCR VI Dtdupos thkSW lhS PdSN age away. Greenberg nearly col- lapsed.
 Last Effort Successful
 He tired again, this time asking Washington. They arrived in good condition and were relayed to Greenberg in Tampa, where they fiourished under his attention.
 Madagascar lace plants are ex- pensive, retailing for as much aa $25 a sprig. Although 1t looks like a piece of green mosquito netting to the iayman, Greenherg says fish get as big a kick out of 1t as a golfer who makes a hole in one.

 Hotel Arrangements Big Attendance Expected

will have to be taken care of at the hotel there is Q very substan- tial number of people seeking ac- commodations, also. in view of the exciting convention that is anti cipated.
 The local delegation numbering S6, will be accompanied to the convention by forty or fifty other Waterbury democrats, 1t was ap- parent to-day. Chairman Crary said this morning that he has been swamped with many requests for information concerning the accom- modations available at the Hotel Griswold. After getting in touch with the hotel officials at Eastern Point, he found out that a short age of rooms is likely to develop, hence the decision to have Secre- tary Clancy of the town commit tee go personally to Groton in an effort to complete arrangements.
 Much local interest in the con- vention this year is being shown because of the fact that it is ap- parent that Waterbury will be given one of the places on the state ticket. Mayor Frank Hayes can, it is known, have the nomination for leutenant-governo It is under stood that he is holding off with the purpose in view of gaining a place on the ticket for Finance Commissioner Charles Jackson. The latter would, it is understood. like the nomination for state treas urer.
 Local liquor dealers will also at tend the convention this time, also in view of the interest in the pro- posed changes in the control law. Governor Cross has been criticized by the liquJr dealers because of the present liquor control act and the dealers are anxious to hear him if he makes any comment on the prospects of a change in the law when he makes his speech be- fore the convention formally ac- cepting the gubernatorial nomina- ton.

 Richard Jervis, chief of the se- cret service detail at the summer White House at Hyde Park, com mented that the alleged letter. writer ought to be in the hands of a psychiatrist rather than in jail.
 The letter which was opened by a White House mail clerk and promptly turned over to the secret service demanded payment of $16S,00O in $1, S5, 10 and $50 de- nominations at pain or harm to the president and the abduction of Sistie and Buzzie Dall and the two months old baby of the Elliott Roosevelts.

 Scant attention was paid to the threat at Hyde Park. No extra precautions were taken. There are regularly assigned to the Roosevelt homestead two secret service men, and a squad of state troopers.
 Meanwhile, Sistie and Buzz!e, who are vacationing with their father, Curtis B. Dall, divorced husband of Anna Roosevelt, at tho Bayshore. N. Y, home of Mir and Mrs Spencer Aldrich, played about the estate wholly oblivious to the threat. They were under the usual secret service guard.
