FRENCH GOVERNMENT SEEKS

Ticklish Problem Faced at
Paris as Cleavage
Increases

PARIS. Oct. 1O.-(UP).-The
French government today was
faced with the tickliSh problem of
keeping its Communist supporters
within the law with one hand and
with the other finding proof of il
legal activity of Col. Francois de
Ia RocQue, Fascist leader, whose
offices were raidcd Thursday.
The government. i'm the midst
of dealing with rightists as a di-
rect outgrowth of a Communist
meeting and counter-demOnStra-
ton in Paris last Sunday, now
faces an equally delicate task in
AlSacc-Lorraine. Communists at a
belatcd celebration of an election
victory, announced that 100 meet
ingS would be held throughout the
redeemed territory.
The government had Just an
nOunced prohibition of all meet
ings. and was trying to keep its
own Communist supporters from
breaking the law.
De la Rocque and the trans-At-
lantic flier, Jean MermOz, are to
be notified today of their mdict-
ment for reorganizing the out
lawed Fascist league and for con-
voking their followers in an lIIe-
gal demonstration.
The indictments already have
named de la ROGUE and Mermoz
i'm charges drawn up prior to the
wholesale raids on their homes
and offices of the French Social
party. but do not become effective
until formal notification is given
by the examining magistrate.
De la Rocque told the press he
was confident nothing would be
found. although sources close to
the Investigators said the evil
dence seemed sufficient to back up
the indictments.

attending would not parade the
streets. insult Germany or sing

However, other C m mun s

ECHO REALTY
FIRM FORMED
Marks Revival of Activity
in Laurel Park as Resi-
Dental Area

The buying. beautifying and
otherwise improving ana selling
of properties in Laurel Park is the
main objective of the newly or
ganizcd Echo Realty Corp. says
II. Walter Fuller, president of this
organization. which has ThoS. II.

Mr.. Fuller stated that several
business men of HcnderSonyille
who had faith in the future of
Laurel Park as an ideal rcSiden-
tial section and the logical place
for the growth of HenderSOnville,
had bought 4 large number of lots
in Laurel Park. The place on the
Boulevard popularity known as the
log cabin" or "tea room" has
also been purchased by this or
ganization and improvements UNI

able rs 4 residence.
The work of a crew of men en-
gagged i'm beautifying the proper

number of lots have been cleared

in the park. Mr.. Fuller said, are
being requested to join in the
Identification program, which Is

mittee recently named by the

JUDGE RITTER
IMPEACHMENT
Is APPEALED
Constitutionality of Pro.
ceedings Rests With
Court of Claims

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. (UP)
The efforts of former u. S. Dis
trict Judge HalStead Ritter of Mi
ami to Overturn his impeachment
by the u. S. senate today rested
with the Federal Court of Claims.
The former federal jurist's chal-
lenge of the validity of his i'm
peachmcnt, coupled with his claim
for April back salary of 1888 was
placed in the hands of the court
after Carl Hoffman, Ritter's at
torncy, attacked constitutionality
of the proceedings by which he
was removed from office.
In completing his case in an
hour of final arguments, matched
by a similar hour of presentations
from government counsel, Hotf-
man late yesterday asked the
court to certify the proceedings
of impeachment to the U. S. Su-
premc court for an ultimate test
of their constitutionality.
Hoffman invoked a law which
provides that the court of claims
may seek the counsel of the su-
preme court in matters arising
from proceedings not directly con-
nected with the suit.
There was no immediate pros
pect of a ruling as the court re-
ceived the case. 1t was not to re-
convene before Nov. 10.
Hoffman's plea was opposed by
Assistant Attorney General James
w. Morris for the government
who charged the court has no au-
thority or jurisdiction to review
action of the senate or to ques-
ton its judgment. While Ritter,
the gray-haired jurist who was re.
moved from office on charges or
conduct bringing his court into
i'll repute," sat quietly at his coun-
sci table, Morris said at is per-
fcctly apparent this is an action
to establish Rittcr's right to hold
office"
Morris contended the senate had
the "sole power" under the Con-
stitution to try impeachment pro-
ceedings and that it was not with.
in the province of the court OF
claims to determine whether Rit-
ter committed the alleged misbe-
havior, ,,
Hoffman's argument was based
on the fact that Ritter won ac-
ouittal on six counts of his seven,
count before the senate convicted
him on the seventh, omnibus
count.

ROOSEVELT DEFENDS NEW DEAL
TRADE TREATIES; LAND0N
PROMISES BALANCED BUDGET
Roosevelt's Minnesota
Deal" Is Under Fire But
Report Is He Gets Votes
(UNITED PRESS)

President Franklin ID. Roosevelt
today moved into Nebraska for
two important speeches, one at
Lincoln, the other at Omaha. He
opened the current midwest cam
paign with defense of reciprocal
trade treaties at st. Paul last
night.
President Roosevelt was charged
with disloyalty to the party as he
left st. Paul, after comforting
with disputing state party leaders.
The National Jeffersonian Dem
ocratic headquarters at st. Louis
made the charge and said it was
sending former Senator James A.
Reed into Minnesota to challenge
the president for what some Dem
ocrats described as party sell
out" to farmer-labor.
Governor Landon promised to
balance the budget and attacked
the president for a Minnesota
deal which he called "sordid bar
tering" in his address last night.
President Roosevelt moves to-
day into territory where Demo-
Gratis are at odds. He will renew
his bid for liberal support at
meeting with Senator George Nor.
ris at Alton, Iowa. 1t is believed
he will endorse Norris, although
a Democrat is opposing Norris.
Presidential advisors claimed
the conference at st. Paul was
victorious when conservatives,
who had been angry because Dem
ocratic candidates withdrew in IA
vor of Farmer-LabOr party can
didates left the conference wiling
to support the national ticket.
