FREDERICK, Md, Aug. %.
Two youths who were travelling
in a stolen car with New Jersey
tags were being held by State
police here today for questioning
in connection with the $427 900
Brooklyn armored car robbery
last week.
New York officials are expected
here some time today to ques-
ton the youths in connection with
the robbery.
Picked up by police near here
for driving a car with no registra-
ton tags, suspicion that the
youths might have had some con-
nection with the sensational truck
robbery was aroused by the fact
that they had a number of news
paper clippings about the robbery
in their pockets.
Both of the youths come from
Brooklyn. They gave their names
as Bernard Moran, 20, and Harold
Bross, 81.
Aside from admitting the car
was stolen, the youths have re-
fused to talk.

CLARION, Pa, Aug. % UN.S)
Trial of Leona Menser, attractive
Conshocton, Ohio, girl, charged
with shooting of John J. Kelly,
elderly Fisher farmer, was to begin
today in the Clarion county court.
The killing was alleged to have
been the outgrowth of a quarrel
between the girl and the man she
had hoped to marry.
Correspondence throug gh a
matrimonial agency brought the
Menser girl to the Kelly farm sew
eral months ago. Kelly was said
to have prevailed upon the girl to
come to his home for a "triap'
period with the understanding
that if they were suited to each
other they would marry.
After two weeks of residence at
the Fisher farmhouse, the shooting
occurred. Miss Menser told au-
thorities cruelties and i'll treatment
at the hands of the farmer had
led to quarrel that preceded the
shooting.

DEMOCRATIC
REVOLT IS

Conservatives to Be Wooed in
Fall Election by Fear of
Radical Program
BY EARL GOODWIN

Upton Sinclair, Socialist, win-
ming the Democratic nomination
for governor in California, is the
first step for the first out-and.
out battle between radical and
conservative in an important con-
test under the New Deal.
Opposed to the reforming, cru.
sading novelist will be the con-
servative, strik k e-buSting Gov.
Frank E. Merriam, whose attitude
in the recent San Francisco gen.
eral strike reminds his admirers
Of Calvin Coolidge and the Bos-
ton police strike.
Left Wing Against Right
1t will be left wing against
right wing, with all the railroad
and power trust strength thrown
solidly behind Governor Merriam:
all the reforming and idealistic
and advanced notions converging
behind Mr., Sinclair, who for more
than Is years has been the night
mare of industrial leaders.
Mr.. Sinclair beat the New
Dealer, George Creel, by tre-
mendous margin; but immed.
lately declares himself a New
Dealer and says this victory is
an endorsement of the policies
of the National Administration.
Ali of which gives the New Deal
politicians in Washington a pain,
because they will save nothing
on which to base their appeal
to the moderate and old line
conservative Democrats without
whose votes they may not sue
ceed in November.
johnson Easy Victor
But they need have no fear as
far as a California vote in the
Senate is concerned-and that is
the practical view of the matter.
While the radicals were making
Mr.. Sinclair the conspicuous
champion in the gubernatorial
fight, all hands in both major
parties were nominating Hiram
johnson for the Senate for the
fourth time.
Mr.. Johnson, who has keen
supporting Mr.. Roosevelt since
before the last election, appar-
emily has received more votes
from the Democrats than from
the Republicans and also gets
the votes of the progressive and
parties. There
can be no doubt that between
Senator McAdoo and Senator
Johnson California will support
Mr.. Roosevelt in the Senate.
Radicals in California will see
conservative forces let loose to
stop the advance toward State So
cialism and the taking over Of
many industries, which Mr.. Sim

story reporting Germany and Ju'

today through the Exchange Tele'

The story, credited to the
ReichspoSt of Vienna, an official

mediately denied by a representa-

cerned, but nevertheless created
keen interest here.
The story asserts that Germany
and Jugoslavia intend to make
war on Italy and then despoil Aus

The Exchange Telegraph imme'
diately sought out DR.. Jeftitch,
Jugoslavian foreign minister, Wis
iting King Alexander at Bled, who
said:
II must deny the allegations
and emphasize that we have no
territorial aspirations what
ever"
The Exchange Telegraph de-
clared the ReichSpost suggests
that Austrian Nazis in JugoSlavia
are being organized into a new
legion, such as that which existed
in Bavaria. Nazi leaders, the
newspaper was quoted as saying,
are being supplied with money and

Threats by Democratic leaders

aside the rule under which 145
Representatives can force vote
on a bill, brought repercusSions
today which forecast a bitter
fight.
Likewise the threats found

the approaching election Of a
new Speaker of the House and
a new Democratic floor leader.

BY bringing up the discharge

feited an unknown but consider

JOHNSON DUE.
To RESIGN
WALL
Battle With RiChberg Believed
Sure to Force NRA Chief
To Quit After Elections
(Copyright, 1894. by international
News Service)

Personal relationships in the
strife-torn NRA have reached
such a point that it is considered
certain that either Gen. Hugh s.
johnson or Donald R. Richberg
will be compelled to retire before
many weeks.
Washington believes that it
will be Gen. johnson who will
retire, although probably not be-
fore the November elections.
President Roosevelt is understood
to be anxious not to have the
NRA blow-off occur in the middle
of the campaign.
Battle at White House
There have been stormy meet
ings in the inner circle of the
NRA, and some of the tempest
has been carried directly to the
White House. Jealousy, personal
pride and personal animosities
all have figured in the situation
For days prior to his departure
last week for Hyde Park, Mr..
Roosevelt did not see General
johnson or Mr.. Richberg stimuli
taneouSly. The situation was too
explosive. However, he saw them
both separately on a number of
occasions, and from each he OBJ
tained the story of growing NRA
diSsenSions and intrigue.
General Johnson bluntly told
the President that he felt there
was an effort to force him out 0t
the NRA, and he blamed Mr..
Richberg. -,
Mr.. Richberg, in turn, informed
Mr.. Roosevelt that General John
son was suffering from over.
wrought nerves and over-work,
and that General Johnson's suspi-
cionS, as far as he was concerned,
were entirely unjuStified. Mr..
Richberg intimated that what the
General needed was rest and re-
cuperation, away from his daily
associations and problems around
the NRA.
President Wants Both
Mr.. Roosevelt listened to both
men and said little. He has a
keen appreciation of the hercu
lean efforts which General John,
son put forth in the early days
of NRA, and he was extremely
loath to take any action which
might be construed as a reflec,
ton upon the dynamic, explosive
administrator.
At the same time he has been
and is extremely loath to lose
Mr.. Richberg's services, for the
