Called By Govt to Show Difficulties in Unions
 of the Company

Wilmington, Del. Oct 10-(UP) A rugged steel worker from the mills of the Weirton Steel company in Clarksburg, w. Va., broke into tears in federal court today as he told Judge John P. Yields of diff faculties he encountered trying to serve as representative under the company's plan of employe repre- sentation.
 The witness was Emil Walter, a heater in the mills, who was called by the government to support its contention that the company plan was not a compliance with the la- bor bargaining provisions of the national recovery act. An injunc- tion to force such compliance is asked.
 Walter broke down as he at- tempted to tell how baseless ru- mors that he was not United States citizen were circulated at the polls when he was running for election as an employe representa- tive.
 Standing in the witness box. in accordance with the Delaware practice where only women sit to testify, the witness voice cracked as he said: Some one circulated reports I was not an American cit- izen-"
 He turned his back to the court room and looked out the window through the blinds while the court waited. Judge Yields offered to ex- cuse him from the stand to smoke a cigaret and regain his composure but he refused. After a few minutes delay he proceeded with his story in A broken voice,

 mOdOre Trant Hurt

New York, Oct 10-(UP)-A gigantic wave rolling 90 feet above sea level smashed the windows of the navigation bridge of the liner Majestic-largest merchant ship in the world--injuring Commodore Edgar L. Grant. 1t was learned to- day when the vessel docked one day late from Southampton.
 Commodore Trant was running a high fever from wounds in the head and back and shoulders when the ship came in under command of Staff Capt Frederick J. Burd. The commodore was taken to French hospital where x-rays will determine whether fragments of glass are responsible for. the in- lection.
 The master of the Majestic was injured last Thursday. when the wave knocked him unconscious. As he lay. severely cut about the head, another wave broke other windows and glass showered on him.
 About 10 stitches were taken in his scalp. The Majestic was de. layed by the storm.

(Copyright 1884 by United Press)
 Zagreb, Jugoslavia, Oct 10.-- (UP)-I arrived today at this tragic capital of Croatia, whence Petrus Kelemen set out September 28 to kill King Alexander.
 I found 1t, on the surface, quiet. normal and with business going on as usual.
 Bells tolled hourly for the late king. There was aU appropriate drizzling rain. Many buildings flew small black flags.
 There was nothing on the sur- face to indicate the undying hatred of the Croatians for the Kingdom in which they were incorporated after the World War.
 At the frontier. the train was halted. Customs officials searched the train carefully and especially sought foreign newspapers. which they seized whenever they found them.
 At all bridges. the train slowed almost to a halt.
 Few soldiers were visible either on the way or at Zagreb.
 It was here that Peter Oret, an- other Croat, tried to shoot Alex ander only last December.

United Press Stan Correspondent)
 Washington, Oct 10-(UP) = Respect for the dead and uneasi. ness for the future mingled in offi- cial minds today as administration leaders sought eagerly for full de- tails of Europe's latest tragedy and its probable political significance.
 Shocked by the assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia and French Foreign Minister Barthou at Marseilles yesterday, officials cancelled practically all formal re- captions and entertainments as tok. en of this country's respect for the victims.
 Because of serious international political consequences which may develop from the assassin's act, state department officials sought every shred of information con. cerning the details of the assassin ation and the possible ramifications of. the plot. They were inclined to believe the tragedy would not con. stitute a second Sarajevo," and plunge Europe and perhaps the world into another war.
 War Might Be Famed
 Although they readily admitted the numerous political and na- tionai animosities of Europe might possibly be famed into open war by the assassination of Jugosla via 8 king, In 2 French city. officials be- heved this was not 6 probability.

 London, October 10 - tUP) - Eurpe today awaited the subsistence of shock over the Marseilles assas- sina tons to start anew the race to consolidate alliances in preparation for armed peace or bitter war.
 For months an all-round shift in European diplomatic a1ignments had been pending. Statesmen were coming to and fro from capital to capital, sometimes with pomp. sometimes secretly. to negotiate.
 In every capital 1t was known that the change was coming. The bullets which killed Alexander and Barthou marked October 9 as the day from which the race really will start. for in diplomatic sense it cleared the air and gave con- crete reason for realignments that before were embarrassing.
 Alexander himself went to France on one of the most import ant diplomatic missions in months.
 Since the World War Jugoslavia. with its co-members of the little entente, Czechoslovakia and Ru- mania. had been closely allied with France.

The three regents named to rule for King Peter might have di 1k culty in carrying out a firm, uniform policy. The army, it was believed, is the only force that could rule with firm hand.
 Significant Point
 It was considered significant that the army on Monday concluded maneuvers near Belgrade and was on the point of separating into the customary units when Alexander was assassinated.
 Now, however, artillery regi- ments already en route to various camps were reported returning to Belgrade.
 According to reports, at least four generals could lead a dicta- torship, of whom Gen Peter Viv- kovitch. chief of the royal guard, who is hated by the Croats, and Gen Josef Koftich are considered the strongest.
 Unless the army seizes power be- fore the kings return, the old cabi- net must resign and a new gov ernment formed.
