Shoppe, a restaurant, Eighteenth

west, Good Friday Eve five years
ago.
A customer entered the place
as one Of the two men was SCOOP
ing more than 500 from the cash
register and while the second
gunman held customers and Mrs.
Jaynes at bay. The unexpected
arrival of the patron unnerved
one Of the gunner, who, the
prosecution claimed, was Jordan,
and he fired one shot.
Mrs. Jaynes talked with police
when they arrived after the hold
up men had fled. Descriptions
Of the hooded hold-up men were
given detectives and Mrs. Jaynes
went through the routine of tell
ing what she knew to police and
reporters. Later, at home, she dis
covered she had been shot in the
abdomen. Taken to a hospital,
Mrs. Jaynes died few days later.
Police had little to work on in
their hunt for the holdup men,
but with the death Of Mrs. JayneS
every possibility was run to earth.
Jordan was arrested about that
time, questioned, police said, and
admitted he had planned to rob
the place but had lost his nerve.
He had been employed there as
q bus boy but had been fired"
Jordan, smitten by the charms
Of a Mount Vernon IN. " tele-
phone operator, wanted to marry
her and was worried about the
Washington case. He wrote to Les

If the case here was closed and
If he was removed from all suS-

gun. His ar3SSt followed; he was
returned here, indicted and went

SOVEREIGNTY
OF GERMANY
IS ISSUE
Chancellor Warn
Europe in Fiery
Essen Speech

ESSEN, Germany, March q.
ON.SO.-Chancellor Adolf Hitler
struck out sharply at France today
as he defended German rearma-
ment and reoccupation of the
Rhineland in q speech marking
the high spot Of his foreign policy
plebiscite campaign.
Speaking from the vast Krupp
works in this great industrial
center where factories run day
and night to rearm the Reich,
Hitler told thousands of listeners:
81 became stubborn after an
other LOcarnO signatOry viO-
lated the spirit Of the pact be-
cause / cannot bear being the
representative of a nation sup
posed to be inferior to any
other"
Although Hitler did not name
France in this passage, his remarks
were q direct reference to that
country, which Hitler previously
has accused of violating the Lo-
carno pact by entering into the
Franco-Soviet mutual aid treaty.
He added:
"Since we do not interfere
with foreign countries, foreign
statemen must halt at their own
borders.
Europe is q house Of many
families. One family cannot boss
the others. II the remainder OF
Europe gets entangled in mill
tary alliances, I must insist on
restoration Of German SOver-
eighty"
Hitler severely criticized revival
of secret diplomacy in Europe and
added:
"ReaI peace cannot be es-
tabliShed at point Of q revolver.
That is oppression. 1t is posi-
BILE with weak nations, but no
longer with us.
'T have not put a foot on for
eign territory.
"Only my peOple-nOt an in
ternatiOnaI cOuncil-can Judge

Minister of Propaganda Paul
Joseph GoebbelS revealed IN a
speech that the number OF persons
employed at the Krupp works has
risen from $4,000 in 1888, to $4,000
at the present time. .
Chancellor Hitler protested
to Great Britain today over the
projected consultations between
the British, French and Belgian
general stats in connection with
the Rhineland crisis.
The protest was lodged through
Hitler'S ambaSSador r-at-large, Joa-
chin Won Ribbentrop, in a 45-min-
ute talk with Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden at the foreign Of
flee today before returning to Ber-
lin.
The proposed consultations, Rib
bentrop said, are highly objection
able to Germany.
The Reich, he said, contends
such consultations mean mainte-
nance Of a "pre-war mentality"
Hold It Unnecessary
Ribbentrop pointed out there
never had been staff discussions
previously in connection with the
Locarno treaties, and he added it
was the German governments
view that none were necessary
now.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 1.-THE Execu-
tive Committee of the Socialist party
met today to draft plans for its presi-
dental campaign. After Norman
Thomas, head of its ticket, declared
the party was the only means OF
avoiding ''the crushing rule Of
fascism."
You hear some workers say they
are going to string along with Roose-
velt," he said at o campaign supper
last night. because they approve of
him to certain extent, although they
have no admiration for or confidence
in the Democratic party.
ITO them I want to say that you
cannot support Roosevelt as Roosevelt
without supporting the Democratic
party Of Farley, Garner and the others.
Your hope, your only hope, for the
working man to enjoy q Just share
Of the fruits Of his labor, to keep out
Of war and to avoid the crushing rule
Of fascism Is the Socialist party"
Thomas said the Democratic plat
form was "less inconsistent and more
friendly to organized workers" than
the Republican, but that "the differ
ence is not as wide as q barn door
nor as high as church steeple, and
It will not sufice."

and started along the corridor. There
was an elevator, and q painfully

HELIUM is UTILIZED
TO RELIEVE "BENDS"
Naval Doctors Report on Expert
ments to Counteract Attic
tion of Divers.


After more than two years Of expert
mental work with use of helium in
counteracting attacks of the bends"
which afiict divers and other workers
In pressure chambers who are relieved
of pressure too suddenly, two naval
doctors at the Washington Navy Yard
are preparing to publish an analysis of
their methods and observations.
The doctors, attached to the expert
mental diving unit at the yard, are
James A. Hawkins and Charles w.
Shilling. They have used helium on
about 40 persons in experimental treat
ments.
The bends, it was explained, are
caused by the fact that when man
works in air under high pressure, a
rreat deal of nitrogen finds its way
into his blood stream. When the
man comes too quickly into air at
normal pressure, the nitrogen forms
bubbles In his veins, causing terrible
pains and frequently death or perma-
nent crippling.
The usual method of relieving the
condition is to place the victim in
compression chamber, reproducing the
pressure at which he was working and
gradually reducing the pressure to
normal
BY administering helium, the doctors
have been able to eliminate the nitro
gen from the blood more rapidly. They
now are working on the use of helium
not only to cure attacks of the bends,
but to prevent such attacks. By in
cIuding a helium mask in the diving
helmet and permitting the diver to
breathe it as he comes to the surface
the rate of ascent can be increased
with less risk.

Governors Tubs

For Controller
Old Bathing Equipment
Missing From Yard

Ey the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 11.-A mys-
terry has developed at the remodeled
executive mansion concerning the
whereabouts Of two iron benches, an
old bathtub and smaller foot tub,
which disappeared from a rubbish
heap in the back yard of the building.
Joseph O'C. McCusker, chief dep
uty State controller, spent few min
utes Of a heat-ridden day to specu-
late on who would want the articles
and how they got out of the yard.
The two tubs were torn out of the
building when the work of remodel
ing began. They were tossed on a pile
Of old material that accumulated dur
ing the rebuilding. The two benches
were placed near the pile out of the
way of workers.
The benches were worth about
what they would bring as old iron"
McCusker said. THE two tubs were
Of no particular value"
The first indication that the articles
were in demand came in the form Of
request from q lady who said she
would like to secure one of the benches
for her lawn. She approached Nc
Cusker, displaying q letter in which
Gov. Harry w. Nice informed her the
benches were under the Jurisdiction
Of the Board of Public Works. Nc
Cusker is secretary of the board.
Later the board received an offer of
$5 for the old bathtub and $25e for
the smaller tub.
As a result, inquiry was made and
it was found the articles had disap-
peared. McCusker hazarded a guess
that it might be souvenir hunters who
desired a tub or bench from the resi-
dence of the States Governors. As
yet he has no clue or answer to the
mystery. v

shall Chang Hheuh-Liang, ousted
war lord of Manchuria.
The second part of the program
was to strengthen popular pres
sure on the "young marshal and
to appoint new negotiators to fly
to Sian-Fu and confer with him
on terms for Chaing Kai-Shek's
surrender.
First move in connection with
the governments strategy was to
broadcast with elaborate publicity
an announcement that II crack
divisions of the Marking army
have been maSSed around Sian-Fu
and have taken up positions in the
suburbs of the ancient, walled
city.
This step was designed to con-
vince Marshal Chang that he, and
10000 of his men who are in the
walled city with him, will be
slaughtered unless they agree to
reasonable" terms for Chiang's
surrender.
The second part of the program
was to summon w. L. Donald,
Australian negotiator who has
made two trips into Sian-Fu in an
effort TO arrange Chiang's release,
TO Marking for a conference and
to appoint an additional negotia-
tor-Moh Teh-Hui, who long has
been a trusted diplomatic adviser
of the young marshal.
In explaining the appointment
of the new negotiator, it was said
that Donald, former adviser on
European affairs to Marshal Chang
and his father and lately an at
tache of the Marking govern
ment. has been acting as the "per-
sonal representative" of Madame
; Chang Kai-Shek, American-edu-
