WARREN HELLER
 BEEN BARRED

New York, Nov 23-(UP)-A telegraphic pool of club owners of the National Football league com pleted today substantiated the pro- test of George Marshall, owner of the Boston Redskins, against the use of Warren Heller, star Pitts burg Pirates back, by the New York Giants in Sundays game with Bos- ton. The Giants borrowed Heller to fill the gap caused by a spine injury suffered by Harry Newman, former University of Michigan quarterback.
 Marshall filed protest with Joe Carr, president of the league who conducted a poll to see if an lem ergency" existed. Under league rules Heller could have played if Carr had ruled an emergency. But without such a condition, Heller, had he played with the Giants, would have been ineligible for play next season with Pittsburg, his regular club.

 as MT Tompkins also paid tribute 10 Mayor Couzens and the present city administration i'll Detroit, pointing out that, as a result or operating economies and the read iustment of the city's debt effected bv the refunding plan, the city IS now operating on the lowest tax budget since 1924. Under this stim- tilus a substantial improvement has been effected in the citys tax collections and the annual op-- erating deficits which have plagued the city for many years have been overcome. The city's accumulated deficit, which on June 30, l935 amounted to over $11,000,0OO, was reduced by about two and a ha!t million dollars during the fiscal year which ended June 30, and, based on the present rate of cur rent tax collections, there seems 10 be a good possibility of et- fecting a further substantial re- duction duringthe current lear.
 For the past two years, during the period of readjustment in the city's debt structure, it has been necessary to finance the city prior to it's tax collection dates by the Issuance of scrip to the city em- ployes in payment of salaries.

Russo and Ingenito were found, questioned and re- leased, but they were trailed night and day.

 This constant surveillance, police said. led to the flats of other al- legged members of the gang. From this .'beautiful chain of circum- stances" according to Deputy Chlef Inspector Ryan, police deduced that Russo and Ingenito took the sedan < to John Rocco, 35, of Jersey City, who drove the car to Pennsylvania where he delivered it to Howard Daye1man, z2-year-old ex-convict and Herbert Mahon, husband Of Rita Mahon, the woman held,

Southampton, England, Nov g -(UP)-Samuel Untermeyer of New York, arrived toGav for the international non-sectarian bty- colt conference at London.
 ''The Germans are suggesting that this is wholly a Jewish boy cott," he said. "This is absurd, as the Jews are only one per cent of the population of the world.
 Officers and directors of the cr- ganization include many distin- guished non-Jews. The success Of the boycott in penalizing Germanv is due more to the cooperation Hf organized labor and Christian churches than to anything the Jews could accomplish alone.

Our delegation, with the exception of myself, is wholly non- Jewish including Richard Bean ish, who is an ardent Catholic; Dr Paul Hutchinson of the Christian Century, perhaps one of the most influential Protestants in the Unit. ed States, and Mrs William 6 McAdoo, daughter-in-law of the former secretary of the treasury who is a Catholic.
