HOT CARGO
DISPUTED
Federal Agent May
BE Called I'm
Quarrel

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Z.
(UP) - Appointment of a
new federal arbitrator at
San Pedro was advocated in
official circles today as a
means of removing the "hot cargo
dispute arising from the Gulf OF
Mexico longshoremen's strike as a
menace to Pacific coast maritime
peace.
1t was learned here that E. P.
Marsh, federal labor conciliator,
had telegraphed Washington auth
critics his recommendation to this
effect.
Marsh was appointed to intervene
in the waterfront dispute which
has held the freighter Katrina
Luckenbach at her dock in San
Pedro since Saturday. The vessel
was the first to reach the Pacific
coast with strike cargo from the
Gulf coast aboard.
The conciliator's recommendation
sought appointment of a successor
to DR.. Gordon Watkins, who is on
years leave from his arbitrator's
post.
William j. Lewis, district presi-
dent of the International Long
Shoremen'S association, recently
ordered all coast members of the
union to join a nationwide boycott

 Eden's view, 1t was understood, was that such a treaty is vital to Europe's peace in view of German rearmament and that Britain will not oppose it even if it must be negotiated with only France. Rus- sia and CEechoslovakia ar the ini. tial signatories.
 From the Polish viewpoint. the main purpose of the conference was to justify Poland's reluctance tc enter such a treaty.

 Behind the story of Jacobs disap- pearance and his reappearance In q cell awaiting trial by the dreaded peoples" court Is an almost fanciful story of intrigue as 1t is worked out by Anton Gang. public prosecutor of Basle, who went to Paris and London to enlist aid of the Surete Rationale and Scotland Yard.
 Following is the story as based on Swiss, French and British re- ports:
 Dr Hans wesemann. alleged Nazi agent, left his headquarters at London, January r. He went to Denmark, Holland and then to Germany where he Is said to have received instructions to kidnap Jacob.
 Jacob was. a refuge at Strasbourg, France. He was lured to Basle,, Switzerland, March 9. There he Is said to have met Wesemann. who introduced himself to two Germans. Warrants have been issued against these two men on the suspicion that they Kidnapped Jacob and took him in an automobile across the frontier.
 Telegram Caused Arrest
 Wesemann was arrested when authorities intercepted a telegram from Saarbruecken recalling him to Germany after Jacobs disap- pearance.
 Swiss police found on Wesemann a little black book containing around a thousand names and ad- dresses which are being checked.
 In London, Scotland Yard and Gang questioned two German brothers at Wesemann's home.
 Since then reports of the most sensational nature have been in- vestigated by French secrect palice.
 They are that several such kid- napings were planned by the mys- terious "Gestapo," allegedly headed b.. Wesemann. It was said that one man was kidnapped and tried In Germany before Jacobs disappear anse.
 Newspapers in Paris report that many German emigres have been quietly deported on the suspicion that they are Gestapo men. work ing under the guise of refugees from Nazi Germany.
