By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EASTPORT, Me-, November 16.-
Wages Of all laborers engaged in
building the $36,000,000 Passama-
quoddy Bay project were raised to the
prevailing hourly scale today as a
45-day state of construction emer-
gency was declared.
Lieut.. Philip B. Fleming, construc-
ton chief, said Harry L. Hopkins, re-
lief administrator, had exempted
Quoddy from the general relief scale
until January l so that the model vii
lage for 1900 administrative staff
members could be completed before
severely cold weather starts.
The new scale. said Col. Fleming,
will pay common labor 40 cents an
hour, intermediate labor SIS cents an
hour and skilled labor rs cents an
hour.
In effect, the engineer declared. the
new scale will more than double the
wages OF all three classes.
Under the old scale, common la
borers were paid $44 a month, inter-
mediate workers $50 month and
skilled labor $63 a month.
Heretofore, all works have been en-
ployed on q 40-hour week basis. Until
the emergency ends, said Col. Fleming,
workers may work eight hours a day
and six or seven days q week, as they
choose. .

vember 16.-Three Croats charged
with completely in the assassination
of King Alexander of Yugoslavia,
more than year ago, will go on trial
Monday.
Police said today they viewed the
accused men-Mio Kraj, Zvonimir

sired to change Europe's peace treaty
frontiers by violence.
Their lawyer, Georges Desbons, en-
gagged by Pittsburgh. Pa. Croats. as

The defendants are expected to set
tie. by their testimony. the question
of what nation, or nations, aided the
Ustachi terrorist band, to which they
belonged, in plotting the death of
the monarch when he arrived at Mar
seille for visit to France. Louis Bar
thou, French foreign minister, was
slain at the same time.
Hungary stands accused by Yugo-
slavia at Geneva of harboring the
Ustachi group, but has steadfastly de-
MED the charge.
More than 500 mobile guards were
brought to the scene of the trial today
as a warning was received from police
Of other countries that Ustachi ter
rorists seldom reach court alive.
The alleged leaders of the band, DR..
Ante Pavelich. and his assistant, Eu-
gene Kvaternik, as well as IVAN Per-
cevitch, alais Gustave Perchetz, will
be tried, in absentia, on the same
charges as the imprisoned trio-com-
plicity in the assassination and asso-
citation with known criminals.
Pavelich and Kvaternik are in jail
at Turin, Italy. although no formal
charges have been lodged against
them. The Court of Appeals there
decided the assassinations were politi-
cal crimes and denied Frances re-
quest for their extradition.
italian authorities declared France
had refused to extradite AZ Italians
wanted for "offenses against the
State" Sanctions against Italy by
France and so other nations, because
of the Ethiopian dispute, have
only reinforced the Italian stand.
Whether the prosecution will ask
the guillotine or Imprisonment for the
three Croats has not been announced.

omizing "SoIeIy on
Veterans"
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Col. Frank Knox. publisher of the
Chicago Daily News, who has many
supporters for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, last night de-
clared himself for the immediate pay
ment of the soldiers bonus out of the
s4,880 100000 appropriated by Con-
gress for relief measures.
THE administration has between
$4,000 100000 and 100000, 900 still
in the Treasury out of the amounts
appropriated for the various spending
agencies 1t has created" said Col.
Knox.
If the administration had dedicated
itself to rigid economy instead of en-
barking on great spending program,
Col. Knox said. he believes the vast
majority of the veterans would have
stood firmly by the Government.
But I see no reason why the Gov
eminent should economic solely at
the expense Of the veterans" he con-
tinued.
The arrival Of Col. Knox in Wash
ington yesterday placed three of the
outstanding potential candidates for
the Republican nomination in the
East. Former President Hoover was
in New York, where he delivered an
address before the Ohio Society, at
tacking the expenditures imposed on
the people by the New Deal economic
planning and suggesting remedies.
Senator Borah Of Idaho. the third of
these potential candidates, was await
ing the publication tomorrow of the
new Roosevelt reciprocal trade agree
ment with Canada before commenting
on that arrangement.
Silent on Trade Treaty.
Col. Knox, likewise, withheld COM
ment on the trade agreement. It is
we'll understood, however. that Re-
publican leaders are ready to attack
this agreement if it sacrifices American
agriculture and industry in the home
markets for the sake of expected gains
in international trade. And the Re
publicans of the West will attack
strongly If by this agreement with
Canada agricultural products are to
be admitted in American competition
for the advantage that may be gained
through the admission of manu-
factured products into Canada.
Col. Knox, like other Republican
presidential possibilities. is not in

SETTLEMENT NEAR
IN CHINESE CRISIS
New Regime in North Is
Likely to Ease Tension
Temporarily.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PEIPING. China, November 16.-
While Nanking witnesses the largest
gathering of major Chinese politicians
in years. the North China crisis ap-
pears to be moving toward a settle
ment which may prove only a tenn
porary pause in the clash between
Japanese imperialism and Chinese ma
tionalism.
On the basis of development thus
far, the belief is prevalent that new
regime of sorts will be established in
the north within the next week, quite
possibly before the sixth nation con-
gress of the Kuomintang, now in ses-
sion, closes. The supposed dates for
the showdown, however, have been
banded so often heretofore that con-
servative observers keep their fingers
crossed about the outcome now.
Complete Break Unlikely.
Maj Gen. Kenji Doihara of the
Kwangtung army. who helped create
the independent state-puppet re-
gime," is still in Peiping secretly con-
ferring with Chinese officials. Political
observers still believe that the ex-
pected northern governmental organi-
zation will not involve a complete
break from Nanking, but q regional
regime which Japan can more thor
oughly dominate than has been the
case in the north since June.

CONFERENCE HELD
ON MOOT QUESTION
School Head and Donovan Dis.
cuss Point With Controller
Generals Counsel.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

The factual history of Communism
will continue to be taught in the Dis
trict public schools despite the anti
Communism ruling of Controller Gen
eral McCarl.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
of schools, made that clear in a state
ment to the Board Of Education yes
terday in answer to McCarl's decision
forbidding payment of salaries to
teachers or other school employees who
teach or advocate Communism.
The statement was made public
after conference between DR.. Ballou.
Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District audi
tor and budget officer, and Rudolph
Golze, chief counsel to McCarl.
DR.. Ballou and Maj. Donovan went
to the General Accounting Office to
see McCarl to get an Interpretation
of the ruling which had puzzled both
of them because it went beyond the
scope of law itself and involved all
classes of school employees and affected
them while of duty. But they saw
Golze instead.
mo Change Intended"
At that conference both DR.. Ballou
and Donovan are understood to have
been given the impression McCarl had
no intention of changing the present
educational program in the public
schools, and that his action was de-
signed to set up procedure to justify
payment of salaries to school employees
in view of the Communism rider
in the 1896 District appropriation act.
Neither DR.. Ballou nor Donovan
would make any comment about the
conference. The school superintend-
ent, however, issued the statement,
which he prepared before the confer
ence, and found no reason to change 1t.
Privately, District officials believe
McCarl went beyond the law and ex-
ceeded the intent of Congress in
writing the opinion. They do not be-
heve any teacher or other school en-
ploye charged with teaching or advo-
eating communism .on school prop
erty could be denied pay check In
view Of the language in the 1896 ap-
preparation act.
Aside from puzzling school and Dis
trict officials, the McCarl ruling stirred
up comment in the White House, and
Mrs. Roosevelt, at her press confer
ence yesterday, expressed the opinion
Washington teachers are going to
have hard time telling their pupils
about Russia

The possibility of q Hoover -Borah
struggle over the Republican presi-
dental nomination and platform for
1886 has politicians guessing.
AS the former President returned
to his attacks on the New Deal last
night in New York, the impression
that he himself is a target of his chief
1928 campaigner gained ground in the
Capital. Borah has not said as much,
but activities of Hooverites plainly
have bearing on his plans
The Hoover speech, one of a series,
dealt exclusively with principles. He
has been represented as believing the
party should put principles first and
personalities second, at least until the
convention meets in June.
