MRS. L.YDDANE
FACES TRIAL
On JUNE4
Date for Presenting "Murder
Plot" Charges to Jury
Set at Court Hearing

Mrs. Anne Lyddane and the four
men indicted with her in the
bizarre Rockville murder plot"
will go to trial June 4 on the first
of four indictments returned
against them by the Montgomery
county grand jury yesterday. The
trial date was set today at hear
ing before Circuit Judge Charles
w. woodward, at which the four
men were present and entered
pleas Of not guilty.
Mrs. Lyddane, free on $4,000
bond, was not present. Her alb
sence was explained by the fact
that under Maryland law the
offense charged, while punishable
by a penitentiary term on convic-
ton, is regarded not as a felony
but as misdemeanor.
Men Represented
Under Maryland law no ar
raignment is required for a misde.
meanor, and it is not necessary
to enter a plea until the time of
trial. It is the custom, however.
to bring prisoners held in Jail into
court when trial date is set and
allow them to plead at that time
if they so desire.
The four men, Edwin j. Davis,
John "Googy" CARMEL, John M.
Boland and Harry Rags"
Thomas, were represented by
counsel at their brief court ap.
pearance, and entered pleas of
not guilty.
Davis and Boland, who are rep
resented by Attorney Malty, are
held in, default of $4,000 bond
each.
CARMEL, former bartender in q
Rockville inn where the alleged
plot was conceived, according to
the prosecution, is expected to be
a witness for the State.
Later in the day Judge Wood
ward reduced Carnell's bond to
$1,000. This was posted and he
was released from Jail where he
had been held for several weeks.
Asked Early Trial
Thomas also is expected to be
a witness for the State, and while
no bond has been fixed, today it
was indicated it will be the same
as for Carnell. Thomas and Car

SOVIET SCORES
. HITLER PLEA
FOR WAR
International News Service

MOSCOW, May S.-smarting
under the attack upon Russia
and Communism made by Chan
.cellor Hitler in the Reichstas
Tuesday, the Soviets struck back
sharply today with a studied
singing indictment Of the. Nazi
Reich.
After remaining silent yester'
day to study thoroughly the Hit
Ter remarks, the entire Soviet
press came out today, SO hours
after the speech, with the charge
that Germany is turning her
back upon peace in order to pre-
pare for war.
Bid to Single Combat
Pravda, official Communist or
gan, said:
"Hitler refuses collective guar.
antees. Peace by battle Is the
meaning of his proposal to To-
caIize cOnflictS-the exact theory
voiced by Germany on the eve
Of the World War when she at
tempted to obtain the nOn-inter-
ference Of the powers while Aus
tria crushed Serbia.
"Such an organization for
peace simply is a permit to Ger
many to chastise her neighbOrs
Singly."
Karl Radek, leading Soviet edi-
torialist, added his voice to a gen.
eral declaration that Hitler's
speech eliminates the possibility Of
a general eastern European pact
Of non-aggression and consultation
with refusal to aid aggressors-
the program planned by France
and Russia.
Radek Raps Hitler
He said in 1zvestia, official gov
eminent paper:
EFFECTIVE Eastern European
treaties and guarantees have
been refused by Hitler with both
hands,"
' Seeking to explain this attitude
on the part Of Germany, Pravda
said:
"The attacks upon the Franco
Soviet CzeChoslOvak pacts is nat
ural, since these guarantees Of
peace embarraSS the German
Fascist policy. Hitler's real aim
is to prevent any collective guar.
antees and his program is not
one Of peace but of war in both
east and west"

Six naval aviators crashed to

Rear Admiral A. w. Johnson,

other Navy plane was forced down
by engine trouble and made safe
landing on the water.
Brandenburger changed his
course, and flew low and circled
over the crippled plane, radioing
the location to the destroyers.

Outlook Team Plays Three
Hoop Games in District
Special to The Herald

special to n Herald
The Outlook high school basketball
team has played three games since the
last report. On Friday, Dec. 6, they
journeyed to Peerless where they
went on a scoring spree in the final
quarter to come away the victors by
a score of "A to IT. The game was
closer than the score would indicate.
Outlook led 20 to 8 at the half but the
Peerless boys seemed to gather
strength during the intermission and
came out strong to pull up to II to Is
for Outlook but apparently they could
not stand the pace they had set and
the firing boys began hanging on
which proved fatal as two Of them
were fouled out. Outlook lost one
man via the foul route. Reed was
high point man for Outlook and Puck
EFT gathered the most points for Peer
less.
Apparently the boys overdid the
scoring proposition and it was a much
different team that took the floor
against Scobey at Outlook Saturday,
Dec. 7. They missed numerous shots
40 to be exact, and made 6. Scobey
possesses a well balanced group OF
ball players, especially strong defense
on the low ceiling floor. Just how it
will work out on a larger floor re-
mains to be seen. They have a rapid
passing attack which may develop in
to a great offensive threat but nu-
merous bad passes and poor catching
were exhibited by both sides.
At the beginning of the game SEQ
hey took a lead which they held ga
until 40 seconds to go before the half
when the Outlook boys finally began
to click and rolled in six points but
the half cut their Scoring short and
they were never able to get going
again. The final score was Scobey Is,
Outlook IA. This is the first defeat
Outlook has suffered in Is games
within the district. Outlook plays
Scobev there Feb. Ia and the boys
are all set for revenge.
