and it was thought likely Interior Minister Albert Sarraut would make a report to the cabinet to- morrow.
 There seemed a possibility that TrotZky would be sent to Corsica, to remain on the island SIS long US he chose to take shelter, under the French flag.
 Police said frankly that they were surprised at the extent to which TrotZky imposed on French hospitality
 Seeks New Hideout
 Barbizon. France, April 16.-- (UP)--Leon Trotzky, once co-dic- tator of Soviet Russia, today sought new hiding place from the hundreds of CZarist Russians in France who have sworn to kill him.
 The barking of two fierce dogs, brought a raid on villa at the edge of Fontainebleau forest. Trot- zky met the police with a pistol in each hand. Learning that they were not enemies, he showed them an authorization from the ministry of interior to live anywhere in the department of Siene and Marne.
 The authorization was surprise to police and to the public, be- cause TrotZky, given refuge here after years of exile on the island of Prinkipo, on the Turkish coast. was supposed to be restricted to Corsica.
 Criticism of the government was started at once for permitting the communist leader to live in France proper.
 TrotZky himself was eager to move now that his enemies knew where to find him. He has main tianed two bodyguards, Pole and q German, who were absent when police raided his villa after watch ing it for two days.
 TrotZky had lived for six months at the villa, which is near that of the late Jean Millet, who painted the Angelus and the Cleaners, in the fields outside Barbizon.
 When police first approached him, Trotzky, hoping to conceal his identity, said his name was Sodrov.
 It was believed that the govern ment would permit Trotzky to move to another place of his own selec- tion, but it was indicated that there would be q quiet investigation of the extent of his political activi- ties, as he is pIadged under the terms of the permission given him to stay in France not to engage in politics.

 Paris, April 16.--UP)-Police charged today that Leon Trotzky. former co-dictator of Soviet Rus sia, had practically completed plans for fourth Internationale, de- signed to keep the world in con- stant revolutionary turmoil.
 Trtzky planned through the or ganization, police said, to foment revolutions in as many countries as possible. He himself was to be In supreme command, it was said, and had only a few vague collabora- tors.
 The organization. police asserted. was to have it's headquarters at Amsterdam. It had no relation to Soviet RussIa-which, police quoted Trotsky as believing. had lost it's fire and had practically turpcd capitalist.
 Police said Trotzky was working on the plan when villa which he occupied at Barbizon was raided. The raid, it was learned, was con- ducted without the knoledge or higher officials of the mintsry or interior. The ministry had given Trotzky permission to live there, instead of at Corsica, where he was generally supposed to be.
 Government officials said to-day they were studying Trotzky's case,

 Search for Todd was conducted when he failed to appear at a meet ing of trustees of his foster fathers estate at Ridgefeld Thursday night. A son, Stanley, of New Ha- ven. was notified and police were consulted.
 Wallet Found Empty
 After discovery of the body, the dead mans wallet, which was be- lieved to have contained $S,00V, was found empty on the beach q short distance away. It showed no evidence of having been in the wa ter, leading authorities to believe he had been robbed and then probably slain.
 A report of the medical examin- CT attributed death to drowning and police denied there were any marks on the body which would point to an attack.
 A gold watch and valuable dia- mond ring were taken from the clothing of the man, adding to the confusion over the robbery Theory. Fingerprints on the glasses found on the table were photographed by New York state police from Haw- thorne barracks. and were called in to aid state and local authorities.

FINAL ADDRESS OF RADIO PRIEST
 GIVEN SUNDAY
Rev Charles E. COughlin Ends Militant Battle
 Over the Air

Detroit, April 16-(UP)-In his last address for the 1884 series the Rev Father Charles F. Coughlin yesterday severely criticised the federal reserve system and inter- national bankers and denounced the Teacher -Rayburn stock mar ket control bill as only halfway measure. calling 1t a revival of the philosophy which supported the 18th amendment.
 Father Coughlin, in his address. advocated the preservation of all individual outlying banks of the country, abolishment of the fed eral. reserve system, and the es- tablishment of a national bank of the Upited States.
 T can see in the future," he said, mo orga nizazetion, except that of standing army or more than a million troops StaliniZed, Htlerized, Mussolini-ized, which can hold this nation together"
 The priest declared that the poison of communism is spreading throughout the world. To counter act it there must be spread the gospel of Americanism founded upon the principles of physical liberty. industrial, religious and financial liberty"
 It is a contest now between Christ and Marx, Father Coughlin added.
 Briefly, at the opening of his sermon, Father Coughlin explained the cancellation of the schuduled three-coronered debate with Dr Moley and Ferdinand Pecora.
 "One week ago this morning." he said, "I was given definite assur- ance by Dr Moley that he and the Hon Ferdinand Pecora would join with me today in discussing our na- tional financial policy insofar as 1t Is related to the Fletcher Ray burn bill
 Last Friday midnight cartain circumstances originating not with me but with them made it apparent that both Dr Moley and MT Pe- cora chose to cancel their engage ment to address you this after noon.
 "In one sense both you and are disappointed, But in another sense I am happy because on this, the last broadcast for this season, I have more time to express my own views on the national recovery of our country and the philosophy related to it."

The La Toilette new party move ment in Wisconsin should not be confused with the farmer labor venture in Minnesota. They are not in the same class.
 What the La Follettes are doing is a matter of state politics. They simply to have decided to break away from the Wisconsin regular republican organization, continuing to give their support nationally to the Roosevelt party.
 In Minnesota, Governor Olson and his associates apparently have in mind new national party, with no local or outside alliances with any other political organization.
 DARROW BOARD ENMITIES
 One of the great weaknesses of the Darrow review board has been the personal enmities within it.
 Not only did it split three ways in it's report, but there were all sorts of stirring disagreements among the members almost from the start.
 They whispered about these trou- bles to newspapermen in dark cor riders, sometimes saying things about each other which hardly could be printed even if anyone were willing to be quoted. Which no one was.
 Something to be remembered about the 1894 campaign:
 Along about August MT. Roose- welt will be coming home from Hawaii, across those western states where his political hopes long have centered. He intends to make no political speeches for any candi- date; but he has taken no pledge against making speeches for the new deal The best guess is he will stop long enough on the way to make several.
