"Oid Guard" Wins
Important Post In
Missouri G. 0. p.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, July 23
U.P)-"Old Guard" national Re
publican leaders might find solace
today in the Missouri G. o. P. sit
uation.
One of Herbert Hdover's strong
est champions, Arthur M. Hyde,
former secretary of agriculture. yes
terday maneuvered one of his fav-
orites into the potent office of ma
tional committeeman from Mis-
souri,, succeeding the late DR.. E. B.
Clements, of Macon
Arthur M. Curtis, of Springfield,
a former chairman of the state Re-
publican committee, whose election
at Columbia came after Hyde
Lieutenant William F.. Phares, of
Maryville, withdrew in his favor,
represents the conservative party
leadership, predominant in state
Republican circles since the ascend
ancy of the Hyde group in 1920.
There was no talk of presidential
preferences at Columbia, but the
more conservative element which
went down the line for Hoover,
Hyde and Patterson was very much
in evidence and sufficiently strong
to overcome distaSte for the "Old
Guard evident among st. Louis
delegates and the younger element.
Wet, German st. Louis, which
preferred both Al Smith and Frank
lin D. Roosevelt to Herbert Hoover,
came to the party pow-wow deter
mined to stop the Hdye-Patterson-
PhareS group.
Unable to agree on a "favorite
son." the revolt crumbled and OPP
ened the way for an "Old Guard"
victory march.
Collapse of the threatened mutiny
left no open violence of intra- party
strife. All factions and groups
recorded themselves as in harmony
with Curtis.

COURT ROOM PEORIA, Ill,
July %. U.P)-Gerald Thompson,
curly-haired "grandma's boy" who
has admitted attacks on 83 women,
probably will not testify in his own
defense it was indicated today dur
ing questioning of prospective jur-
orS for his trial on charges of mur-
dering pretty Mildred Hallmark
19-year-old cafe hostess.
Ren Thurman, state-appointed
defense counsel, stressed in his eX-
animation of talesmen the point
that a defendants failure to go to
the witness stand may not be con-
strued against him.
In the event that the defendant
did not testify for himself, and
the court instructed you that this
was not under the law, to be con-
strued as evidence either on his
guilt or innocence, would you be
able to disregard his failure to test
ify," he asked each member of the
venire.
Thompson was hunched forward
on his chair, chin resting or
clenched fist, his left foot beating
an incessant, but noiSeleSS tattoo
on the court room floor.
Three veniremen had been ac-
cepGd tentatively an hour after

move of the state relief directors to
withhold aid from needy who refuse

The South Dakota Relief Ad-

ITALIAN ENVOY

Of FETHIOPIANS

ADDS ABABA, Ethiopia. july %
!U'Py-Count Luigi Vincigigliucci
Italian minister, absented himself
today from reception which En-
peror Halle Selassie I gave in oh
servance Of his 44th birthday
His failure to attend the recen-
tfon was taken as an official noti-
fication of Italy's anger at the en-
peror's recent speech in which he
charged Benito Mussolini with
seeking war in his own interests.
1t was the first open break in
the nominally still friendly inter
course between the disputing coun-
tries, for diplomatic niceties had
been maintained even while ma
tional anger has mounted on both
sides and the countries are arming
for war.
Ethiopians said at once they re-
garded the boycott of the recep-
tion as provocative affront.
No member of the Italian lega-
ton or consulate staff attended
the reception, which was given for
the diplomatic and consular corps
at the emperor's palace.
1t was said that, gravely as the
government regarded the "affront."
it would in no way alter the fixed
policy of Emperor Halle Selassie,
which is to seek by all means an
honorable peace, but to go person.
ally to war at the head of his army
if war can not be prevented.

GERMAN DEBT
LARGER THAN
YET REPORTED {. D|

Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
BERLIN, July 90. UP)-Disclos-
ure of a $1,135, 100000 public debt
never listed in official figures,
threw new light today on the pO-
litical turmoil which has made
many thousands uneasy.
An article in the weekly Deutsch-
er VolksWirt, attributed to the in
spiration of DR.. Hjalmar Schacht,
minister Of economies, president of
the reichsbank and virtual econ
omic and financial dictator, made
the disclosure.
It was that the short term for
eign debt was about 8,000,000,000
marks C$3,224,OOO, ,OOO). The last
government figure on the debt was
2,700 100000 ($1 ,088, 100000.
This is the first admission of an
unofficial" floating debt whose eX-
istence has long been discussed
abroad
The dry figures in the article
were full of portent for the country.
In asserting that severe economy
was necessary, the writer said that
increase in the total public debt
must be avoided even though fur
ther public investments were need
ed to maintain employment.
Any wage reduction now would
be calculated to provoke dangerous
unrest.
It has been suggested that the
rise in prices. sometimes with an
accompanying reduction in quality,
has been behind the activity which,
starting with a new anti-Jewish
drive, has been completed by a
drive against the Roman Catholic
clergy who have 21,I72O37 follow
ers-325 per cent of all religions-
in Nazi Germany according to the
census of June 16 1888.
Secret police were watching all
Catholic activities today as were
ordinary police. quarters close to
the church expressed deep concern.
The Jewish drive was marked by
multiplying minor incidents all
over the country.

HEART BROKEN
FATHER TAKES
BODY Of SON

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., July %. W.P)
The body of Albert White 49,
year-old Provo. Utah. youth who
"just got off on the wrong track, ="
was taken to Provo today by his
heart-broken father, Albert H.
White, Sr
Albert was shot to death Sunday
on the highway north of here when
he ignored commands Of possemen
to halt. He had sawed his way out
of the Coconino county jail where
he and his younger brother, Carl,
IT, and another man were held for
trial on murder charges.
Ironically, it was Buck LoWrey,
employer of the young bandits vic
tim. and his son, Dave Lowrey,
who shot the fleeing, confessed
slayer. Albert, tall and thin, had
wriggled out of the small space he
made by cutting the rivets on his
cell bars. Carl White and Carl
Cox of Seymour, Ind, were unable
to follow him.
Albert confessed, county authori-
ties said, that he shot and fatally
wounded William G.. Wilson, 81,
attendant at Lowrey's service sta
ton at Lees Ferry, Ariz.
The elder White, after viewing
his sons bullet-pierced body, said,
with tears in his eyes, Albert was
a good boy, but he just got off on
the wrong track"

CHICAGO, July 90. W.P)-Joseph
Winter, SO, a mere mite of man,
scowled in court where his son,
Joseph, Jr,, strapping 2O0-pound-
er was charged with robbery.
He didn't tell the judge that Joe
was a good boy, that he needed
another chance. He said:
you could send this boy to Jail,
but it wouldn't do any good. Let
me handle this, please, Your Hon
or"
The judge looked down at the
little father and then at the six
foot boy that lowered above him.
He gave Winter permission to
talk to the boy alone
Two minutes later, from the cor
ridor the court room heard the
kind of screams that used to come
from the woodshed in past decades
Back came Winter, leading his
blubbering son by the hand.
Think can handle him

STR|KE: MAY

WORK IN DAM

BOULDER CITY, New, July %.
W.P)-Unless a wage dispute be-
tween Boulder dam workmen and
the Six Coz lies, Inc, builders
of the projecO, IS settled soon, all
work may stop on the dam, labor
Representatives indicated today.
The company was forced to cur
tail work as members of the ma
rfchiniStS' union moved off the job
TO await results Of conciliation con-
ferences.
Truck drivers, one of the largest
groups on the construction project,
may follow the machiniSts which
would put the unions 100 per cent
behind the strike. The truck
drivers indicated they might leave
their jobs today unless assured
that there was some hope of set
tlement.
A special arbitration board went
into session again today after haV-
ing recessed early yesterday to al
low officials of the Six Companies
to discuss the workers demands.
Edward H. Fitzgerald, federal con-
ciliator, is in charge of the con-
ferences with the Rev. G. Fl. Sloan
of Las Vegas, Nevs sitting as chair
man of the committee.
So far 300 men have left their
jobs with approximately the same
number still working. The Walkout
was started by carpenters and steel
workers who demanded shorter
working shifts as well as increased
wages. The problem of workisg
hours was settled last week by the
arbitration committee.
The Wilcox and Babcock COM
panys employees, who have re-
mained at their job, indicated they
also may walk out if negotiations
fail.
The city has been quiet as work
ers awaited results of the confer
ences. Although a picketing area

GERMAN STILL
BRIGHT BOY
Prominent Figure In Julian Oil
Collapse Outwits Efforts To
Send Him To San Quentin

SAN FRANCISCO, July %. UR
Jacob Berman, the bright boy"
OF the $20000,000 Julian Petroleum
company swindle, matched wits
with the law today before a United
States commissioner and went back
to his cell at Alcatraz Island fed
eral prison in an effort to evade
imprisonment in San Quentin pen
itentiary.
Berman surprised officials gath
cred in the office of u. S. Commits
sioner E. E. Williams by refusing a
chance to take a paupers oath
and win freedom from the govern
ment prison in San Francisco bay.
Berman, who also was known by
the alias of Jack Bennett had been
expected to take the oath to es-
cape payment of a $4,000 federal
fine. He has served seven years of
a federal sentence and thus would
have been eligible for release.
Instead, the thin-faced convict
declined the oath and was return
ed to Alcatraz by the heavy guard
which accompanied him to the
hearing.
Federal agents characterized the
maneuver a smart move"
Faced with three state prison
sentences, he was to have been
taken to San Quentin by state au-
thorities as soon as he was released
from custody of federal officers.
Deputy Sheriff d. Crowley of Los
Angeles was on hand to transfer
him to the state penitentiary.
Bermans strategy, officers said,
was founded on a habeas corpus
appeal pending in Chicago. Antici-
pating a return there for court
proceedings, he hopes to escape ex-
tradition to California if released,
officials believed, thereby avoiding
his term in San Quentin.
He recently was transferred to
Alcatraz from an eastern federal
prison in order to expedite his ar
rest by California authorities.
