GENERAL CONDITION OF
u. S. DELEGATION GOOD

| OLYMPIC VILLAGE, BERLIN,
July 31.-(UP)-On track and
field, in the water, on the flying
rings, the pistol range and myriad
other scenes of feverish prepara-
ton athletes entered in the games
of the XI Olympiad moved stead
| lily toward their competitive peaks
yesterday to an obligato of sniff
files from half a dozen ailing men,
bers of the American continent.
The sun shone intermittently
Yesterday for almost the first
time since the United States team
arrived six days ago and its
warming rays removed one big
question mark-the sore legs OF
Glenn Cunningham. The Kansas
flier turned in a spanking three
quarters in 3 minutes 5 seconds
but at least two girl swimmers
may not be able to start in their
events, the Washington eight-oar-
ed crew is temporarily without its
stroke and one girl runner and
two members of the track and
field team are below par physical
| ly. -,
The general condition of the
American delegation is regarded
as excellent, however, consider
ing the abrupt transition from
the summery ocean crossing to the
raw winds and chill rains of the
last few days.
Johnny Torrance, the Gargan-
tuan shot putter, did not work out
today because of "the miseries"
in his back.
Late yesterday the American
team - with a few exceptions -
went through a dress rehearsal
for the elaborate opening cere-
monies of the games Saturday. In
smart blue double breasted jack
cts with the Olympic seal over
the breast pocket, white trousers
and shoes and straw hats with
blue bands, the men marched
along eight abreast. The women
wore white tamao-shanters, blue
coats and white skirts.
Alfred Jochim, Union City, N.
j., gymnast and four-time Olym.
pian had the coveted position OF
flagbearer flanked by James w;
O'Connor of Venice, CAL, and
Fred Lauer of Chicago, members
of the third Olympic water polo
team.
The delicate question of a sa-
lutte to Fuehrer Adolf Hitler
when the reviewing stand is pass
ed Saturday was settled by hav-
ing the men doff Their straw hats
in their right hands so that no
one will interpret the gesture as
the Nazi salute. The women Will
give the regulation Olympic sa-
lutte. ..,o,,
The field men, particularly
those of the United States, notch-
ed the most impressive marks yes
terday. Gordon (Slinger) Dunn
of Fresno, Cal, and Ken Carpen-
/ ter of Southern California, drop,
ped the discus close to the world
record of III feet, II 3-4 inches.

STRAND OF HAIR IS
NEW MURDER CLUE
(Continued from page one)

(Contlnueh from page one)
Clevenger here two weeks ago
turned for aid yesterday to the
modern criminal laboratory of the
&c" men in Washington.
A piece of blood-stained carpet
taken from the hotel room in
which the New York University
student was ravished and shot to
death and other bits of evidence
in the lurid case. officials said,
were taken to the department of
Justice laboratory to be analysed.
1t was emphasized both here
and by J. Edgar Hoover, boss of
the sc" men, that his agents had
not been called into the case and
were giving Asheville authorities
only such assistance as is made
available to ali state and city po-
lice bodies who seek it.
The evidence was delivered to
the department by two Asheville
detectives. The report of the fed
eral crime experts, it was said in
Washington, will be made direct
to authorities and will not be
made public in the capital.
Police Chief Everett, who is
conducting an investigation of the
crime independently from the one
directed by Sheriff Laurence E.
Brown, returned yesterday from
q mysterious trip which is said to
have included Charlotte and per-
haps Charleston, S. C. He declined
to discuss his absence or disclose
with whom he conferred.
Meantime, more mystery was
injected into the strange case by
reports from Raleigh concerning
the arrival there of packages sup
posed to contain articles of cloth

containing articles of clothing be-
longing to Mark Wollner, German
born violinist, who was questioned

can crowd that scattered the arena
with Kansas sunflowers and
whooped it's support at every op-
portunity. -.
Knox appealed to "the millions
of sincere Democrats who have
been outraged by the appearance
of un-American practice" to aid
in the drive against the mad
whirl" of the New Deal expert
menters who. have invaded the
powers of congress, insulted the
authority of the courts invaded
the powers of the states and un,,
dermined the institutions of local
self-government."
He also drew a cheer by quot
ing former Governor E. Smiths
remark that the American people
don't want a dictator-not even
a good one.
"The people want recovery, not
rhetoric" the running mate OF
Gov. Alf NJ. Landon told $4,000
party headliners and workers
gathered against background OF
American flags at a huge rally
on the shore of Lake Michigan.
"They want dignity in govern
ment, not a merry-go-round.
"The present administration has

The issue is whether the Amerl-
can people shall have an orderly

support, self-government and SELL
respect" ,-
If the people of America have a
rendezvous with destiny as Presl-
dent Roosevelt said in his accept
ance speech, they will insist on
"seeing the lady" before they
keen the date, Knox said. :,
Asserting that the Roosevelt
administration had the greatest
opportunity "since Lincoln's time,
to aid distressed people, Knox
charged that it had bungled the
lob except in few instances anu
had "defaulted in it's obligation.

mentation, by squandering pubic
funds, by coercion of congress, by
terrorizing business and subJugat-
ing the nations banks. :, M,
"The president" he said, mas
recently told the American people
thew have a rendezvous with des-
tiny Under present conditions
the most likely rendezvous is with
q receiver for the treasury.
"After the acceptance by tne me
people OF the promises Of the 1857
platform, what unexpected rem,
devious did the people have !
Thev had a rendezvous with the
NRA. They had a rendezvous
with Farleyism. Then had a rem
devious with the tax collectors
When the American people have a
date with destiny they want to
know what the lady looks ike.
They want to have a word to say
about it." ~, :, -
"millions of sincere Democrats
who have been outraged by ap-
pearance of un-American prac'
tices in the care of ancient Demo
cratic principles" That was whefe
he quoted Al Smith. ,oo
"The Republican party does
not promise to solve all these
problems that you face,' Knox
continued. 'It was no patenl
nostrums to cure every econofGlc

solution of all our economic prop

"But the Republican party does
promise . fair and honest gov

WPA TO PLACE
5000 ON LEAVE

Aubrey Williams. deputy Works
Progress administrator, told a
group of WPA union representa-.
tives he had directed his legal divi-
sion to work out a reclasSification
plan that would place 5000 en-
ployes of the division on a leave
status.
The union representatives had
come to washington to confer with
Williams on the plight of the en-
ployes who were left in the cold"
under a ruling of retiring Comp
troller General McCarl, that since
they are not on project payrolls
they could not be classed as admin
istrative employees.
The IA union representatives
had been under the impression
that Williams intended counter
manding the McCarl ruling. The
deputy administrator explained
yesterday. however, that it would
be unjust to the employees for
him to countermand the order.
The Comptroller General could
stop their salaries if they took
leave, Williams said.

got into trouble with the G. P. U.
right away for feeding a 17-year-
old runaway girl from a collective
farm. Matters became even worse
when Mrs. Kushlak permitted a
girl to sleep in the garnet Of their
home.
In the factory Mr.. Kushlok was
so popular that the workers
elected him as their representa-
tive, despite the well-oiled Stalin1St
machine. This made him thorn
in the flesh of the Soviet bureau
Gratis. They attempted to frame
him in every conceivable way.
They had tools stolen, and tried
to pin the crime on KuShlak.
When this collapsed, an effort
was made to trump up a murder
charge against him.
Appeals to Embassy
Kushlak then appealed to the
American embassy in Moscow. He
was expelled from the Russian
Communist party, but thanks to
the protection of his American
citizenship, he and his family were
enabled to return to Detroit.
But the case of John Doe, of
Cleveland, is unlike that OF Kush-
lax. His name cannot be pub
lished. He brought with him to
American a pretty and intelligent
Russian wife. Upon his return, he
expected to write about his two
years of experiences in Moscow.
But Johns wife has a father
and mother living in Soviet Rus
STA. If his story became public,
the old people would surely be
seized by the G. P. U. over there
and perhaps be put to death.
There are hundreds and hun
dreds of similar cases among the
10000 returned ex-Reds from the
Soviet Union. Here is a sentence
from a letter received by the par
ents of a young woman now in
Russia:
please, mother, do not write
anything just now or talk too
much, they might kill my hus-
band"
The parents are back in Amer
lea, compelled to maintain silence.
Their daughter married a Russian
Workingman. AS American born,
she can leave Russia. But hel
husband cannot leave.
One of the most shocking cases
I encountered is that of William
Mckenzie, of New York, who has
been back from Soviet Russia a
little over a year. Mac" as we
used to call him in the old-time
Socialist movement, has been vir-
tually sheli,shocked by his Soviet
experiences.
I found him sick, both physi-
cally and mentally, due to the ter
ror, privationS and, above all, the
establishment he had suffered
while in the Soviet Union.
I knew Mckenzie back in 1927
when he toured Connecticut,
speaking in favor of Soviet Russia.
Now MAC" Is Back
Now Mac" is back. When I
saw him some months ago he
seemed to be completely lost to
the world. The truth as he saw
it was too powerful for his consti-
tuition, and the inability to express
it among his comrades crushed
him.
Yet there is every opportunity
in this country for the Stalinists
to peddle their newspapers and
magazines, full of shameless prop
uganda, unmolested. Few of the
returned ex-Communists would
want to see the freedom of the
press and of speech abridged in
America.
But freedom cannot be one
sided. The sentiment of those
workers who returned from Russia

is that the Stalnist propaganda
has had altogether the better of
it in the American press, that this
propaganda has victimized thou
