GENEVA, September IS P.-
The League Of Nations today tele-
graphed to Moscow it's invitation
to Russia to become a member Of
the international body.
BY the Associated Press.
GENEVA. September 15.-A move
ment to obtain q pledge to establish
religious liberty in the Soviet states
before admitting Russia to member
ship in the League OF Nations was
taking form here today.
The pledge would follow the gen.
eral lines OF the suggestion made by
President Eamon De Valera Of the
Irish Free State that Russia be asked
to generalize the assurance of religious
liberty made to the United States
when the Soviets were recognized by
America.
AT q meeting at the Protestant
Cathedral numerous clergymen ex-
horted delegates to the League of Ma
tions Assembly to protect the Chris
tian martyrs"
Ukraine Rights Asked.
The Assembly today received a
memorial from the Ukrainian group
OF the Polish Parliament protesting
against the admission OF Russia until
the Soviets extend to the Ukraine the
right OF self determination. From
Georgia came a demand that Russia
evacuate that region.
The newspaper organ Of Geneva
conservatives today bowed to the lin
evitability of Russian membership" /"
but stated that the fight against in
ternational Communism must be con-
tinued unfiinchingly"
President Eanon De Valera Of the
Irish Free State was described as hav-
ing decided not to sign q collective
invitation to Russia to join, feeling
that. in view of reports that the As
sembly Is not unanimous on the sub
Ject, any opponents should have free
dom to express their views and that
Russia should apply for League men,
Dership in the ordinary way.
Russian Favor Grows Fast.
Despite opposition, however, the
machinery for making Russia a men,
Der OF the League turned rapidly, and
by noon 80 countries had affixed their
signatures to the invitation.
Sweden. Norway, Finland and Den
mark indicated they preferred to send
an invitation to Russia apart from the
rest and would forward it either as a
group or individually.
The invitation emphasized that uni
versatility is indispensable to the con-
solidation OF peace and invited the
Soviet Union to ENTER the League and
bring its valuable collaboration"
Russia was expected to reply indi-
eating her intention of respecting in
ternational engagements. The final
details were to be arranged at a din
ner in an inn on the border Of Lake
Leman, on French soil, between For
eign CommisSar Maxim Litvinoff of
Russia, Edouard Benes, Czech foreign
minister, and several other members
OF the League Council.

IS DENIED
WARD LINE DATA
Federal Judge Rules State
ments Are Confidential
and Not Evidence.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 15.-Fed-
eral Judge Alfred C. Coke today denied
request of United States Attorney
Martin Conboy TO compel attorneys
of the Ward Line to produce state
ments they had obtained from officers
and crew Of the burned liner Moro
Castle.
The judge acted by granting a mo-
ton Of the Ward Line TO quaSh sub
poena which had been served upon
them by Conboy. The motion was
made on the ground that the state
ments obtained from officers and
crew of the liner after the burning of
the ship were confidential and privi-
legged, and not lawfully subject to sub
poena."
Declared Not Evidence.
Judge Coxe's ruling said:
"The papers which the attorneys
are asked to produce are not privileged
in as much as they contain merely
statements of persons other than the
client. These statements are, however
the private memoranda for work
papers of the attorneys and are not
evidence in the pending investiga-
ton. l do not think, therefore, that
their production may properly be re-
quired The motion to quash is
granted"
An afidavit in support Of the mo-
ton was submitted by Chauncey l.
Clark, a. member of the law firm OF
Birmingham, Veeder, Clark & Hupper,
WHO said the attorneys represented
not only the Ward line. but also vari-
Gus underwriters and others interested
in the steamship. The subpoena, he
said, was served on the firm Thurs
day.
Conboy declined to state whether
he would take an appeal.

as River Recedes.

BY the Associated Press.
KAIFENG, China. September IS
The Yellow River seemed to be re-
turning to its banks today after q
flood that brought death and deStruc-
tion to the river valley.
The water apparently was subsid-
ing as rapidly as it rose.
Reports from the valley stated there
was widespread destruction, but the
proportions of the damage and the
number of dead could not be esti-
mated because the Chinese lack agen-
cies to make Investigations.
The Hopei provincial government
has appropriated 100000 Mex to
aid flood sufferers. and an equal sum
was made available by the national
government at Marking. Even these
meager appropriations represented a
sacrifice on the part of the govern
mentS.
The Yellow River Flood Relief
Commission, the primary concern Of
which is supposed TO be flood distress,
declined to disclose what, If any. in
formation it has concerning floods
in Hopei Province.

resolution stated.
Then the Little Entente proceeded
to give its blessing to the projected
Eastern security pact. That proposed
treaty, 1t stated, would be re-en-
forcement of guarantees for the
maintenance of peace" despite the
fact that Germany will have nothing
to do with it, and that Polands atti-
tude presumably is unfavorable.
The Associated Press was informed
that the great powers will pursue ne
gotiations for some form of an East
ern pact despite the difficulties en-
countered by the Eastern Locarno"

their 36-hole match for the United

Little dropped a 35-foot putt on the
eighteenth green for birdie 3 and
&c. two under par
Goldman put up the gamest kind OF
a battle, saving himself consistently
with some great recoveries, but he was
simply being overpowered by an op-
ponent who had too much artillery.
The Texan was only / down at the
turn, but the steady pressure of Little s
tremendous as well as accurate shots
began to tell the tale over the incom-
ing route.
Little in Fine Form.
Little's SO was three shots above the
course record and included several
good sized conceded puts, but it
represented the finest golf the Cali
fornian had displayed so far in the
tournament as he advanced toward
his objective of adding the American
title to the British amateur crown,
which he captured last Spring.
He was only off the line four times
with tee shots which ranged from $50
to nearly 300 yards. He was over par
on only one hole, the short seventh.

WOODWARD, Okla, September
15.-A "1O-gallon" hat, cowboy boots
and spurs was the costume laid out
today for Col. Charles A. Lindbergh.
"Lindy" who has seen much of
the world from the cockpit of an air
plane, has taken a liking to the saddle
since he and his wife became the
impromptu guests OF a rancher when
they were forced down 28 miles north
of here last Thursday.
The occasion for the cowboy re-
gala today was the Woodward An
nual Rodeo, at which Col. Lindbergh
has tentatively promised to ride with
the broncho busters. The hat and
boots were presented to the colonel
by a neighbor of the rancher host.
Both Lindy and his wife made a
big hit with the farm folk, who
quickly dubbed Mrs. Lindbergh
Smiling Anne"

Cadet Reveals Records Show Con-
f1iet of Orders on Liner.

BOSTON, September Is (P.-The
Boston Daily Record says in a copy
righted story that contrary to sworn
testimony the engine room log of the
Moro Castle was saved from the fire
by William w. Trip. student at
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and engineer cadet ON board. and
turned over to attorneys OF the Ward
Line.
The Record says United States Dis
trict Attorney Martin Conboy, when
informed of the fact, said 1T seems
evident that the Ward Line is ham
pering Federal inquiry. I have COM
municated information to this effect
to the New York authorities and ex-
pect that they will demand the imme-
diate production of the log book"
A Federal grand jury subpoena was
issued today for Tripp. A letter ac-
companying the subpoena said that
Tripp was wanted for questioning by
the grand jury with regard to an in
terview which he had given Boston
newspaper men.
The missing log book, the Record
says, reveals an amazing confusion of
orders, the last of which would have
left the Moro Castle turning in cir
cles around her anchor.
First Alarm at 1855 AM.
Trip, who lives in Dorchester, was
at the telegraph board when the fire
began to rage. The Record says that
Tripp from memory placed the first
fire alarm as sounding at 2:56 am.
The cadet engineer also asserted, 1t
continues, that only two minutes be-
fore the alarm telephone call came
to him from the bridge-presumably
from the captain of the ship-asking
if the fire was in the engine room.
From this Tripp deducts that the
real location of the fire had not been
reported To the bridge at that time.
There were a number of other
orders from the bridge, about 10 in
all" the record quotes Tripp as say
ing. Il can't remember what they
were; they are entered on my log
