PROCUREMENT BALL THREAT Z
By ARNE STROM

Copyright, 1885, BY American News
papers, Inc. All rights Feserved)
On May Is, 1888, I had worked
II months in Soviet Russia, and
had earned my right to months
holiday. We decided to go to the
Caucasus, right down to the
Black Sea.
From Voronezh to Novorossiisk
we travelled in a beautiful railway
carriage from the good old days.
Here on the main line the peas
ants were not allowed to congre-
gate at the stations as we were
used to seeing them elsewhere.
There the stage was perfectly set.
The stations were neat and tidy;
but to those who knew the real
state of affairs there came little
glimpses which did not pass un-
noticed by us.
Thus our magnificent carriage
once stopped in front of a poor
woman who had been overlooked
and now sat on some sacking sur
rounded by her children, and eat
ing black frozen raw potatoes. I
shall never forget as long as live
the dreadful picture of want and
despair made UP by this little
group.
If, however, the railway sta
tons could be kept comparatively

selves were more difficult to con-
troll. Just outside each station it
was interesting to watch the
trampS in their attempts to jump
on the steps of the train.
Saw Man Killed
Each coach had a conductor for
its defense. When a tramp had to
hang on while the train moved at
great speed, he had no means Of
defending himself against the
fists and heels Of the official. It
was quite surprising what these
poor trampS could stand before
giving up. They knew that once
they lost their hold it meant
death. The man in charge of our
carriage was quite merciless. Out
side RoStov I saw him shake off
two big fellows. The nervous
reader had better skip the follow
ing page.
My wife and son were seated in
our compartment, while I stood by
the open window in the corridor
and saw the whole of the follow
ing scene.
A huge fellow wearing a fur
cap and felt boots had just jumped
onto our carriage, when the con-
ductor, who had also been looking
out OF my window, caught sight
of him. The conductor rushed
onto the end platform. I leaned
out and saw terror in the face Of
the vagabond. The conductor
shouted abuse and insisted that
the man should jump off. The
man looked down, but had not
the courage to jump as the train
was going full speed.
Then the conductir started hit
ting the poor fellows face with
his fist, but the tramp hung on
for dear life although the blood
Spouted from his nose and mouth.
Door Was Locked
I could not watch any longer.
I rushed to the door leading to
the platform, but found it locked.
I hammered and kicked. I heard
rough, angry voices outside, but
the doc" remained closed. / ran
back to my window in the hope
OF being able to attract the con-
ductor's attention, but I was too
late. The conductor had stabbed
the tramp with a knife. and just
as I looked out the poor fellow
let go and fell on his back like a
bundle Of cloth on to the other
track. He did not move so lopS
as I could see him, and would
bet hundred to one that he was
dead. If he were not, a train
going in the opposite direction
would soon end his sufferings. I

MRS DILL WILL
 SPEAK ANYWAY

WenAtchee, Wash, Aug. 2e.-(UP) -"denerai" Rosalie Jones Dill, former Suffragette and divorced wife of former Sen. Clarence 0. Dill, to. day refused to pay Q bill presented by the city of Wenatchee for ex. penseS in removing "Rosalie Jones Dill for Congress" placardS from practically every telephone pole in the city. Five county jail trustieS spent two days removing Dill poSt- CTS which had been placed Gt every vantage point on the city'S street corners by enthusiastic supporters of the woman candidate.
 Police Chief Carl Hansen said she had violated c city anti.poSt0r ordinance. Mrs. Dill said she was not responsible for the Sign- -tacking and would not pay for the removal. Hansen countered by refusing her the use of Memorial Park for 6 scheduled campaign meeting. Mrs. Dill retaliated by announcing she will speak in the streets. "l'll de- mand my right of free speech and hold the meeting on public prop. erty," she said. Mrs. Dill is running for the democratic congressional nomination from the fifth district on c platform of feminiSrn, new deal and Grand Coulee dam completion.

Republicans At Old Trick sOf Answering AH Attacks

Washington, Aug. 28--(UP) The political battle of tho air waves was under way in earnest today.
 Immediately after Secretary of Interior Harold L. 1ck0S, speaking for the democratic national com" mittee, finished q radio attack on Gov. Ali M. Landon and Publisher William Randolph Hearst last night A speaker for the republican m. tional committee was on the air with rebuttal,
 Tonight Sen. Joseph T. Robinson, sponsored by the democratic com mittee, will reply by radio to Gov. LandOns three eastern campaign speeches.
 The rapid verbal give and take recalled c high point in the lOJ2 campaign when Sen. Carter Glass dotted his last radio sentence with Che announcement that ogden Mills, then secretary of the treasury, was waiting in another studio, to reply.
 Ickes charged last night that Lnn. don was the candidate of Hearst and had been made Into q person Of sufficient stature for the republican nomination by the "VlSt Hearst publicity machine" Hearst he said, had been "enraged" becauSe "hc had been denied certain special privileges by the present admlnls' tration, such as the filing Of con. solidatcd income tax returns for his various corporations and inter- ests." By this means, he charged, Hearst had been paying under pre-. vlouS administrations much less than nc would have paid If hc had been taxed upon a fair and cqult- able basis as compared with loss prospcrous citizens"
 Ickes read c letter which he said Hearst had written to George Y, Harding. republican national com. Fnittecrnan from illinois. Hearst wrote that he had advised Gov, Landon not to make too many Apeechos.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-08-28

At present tho democrats have nothing to criticize Gov. Lnndon about" 1ckes quoted Hearst. You cnn sec that in their attempt to criticize him. too many speeches might give the democrats their ca- gcrlY awaited opportunity"
 "fhc fooll8hnGsS of opposing any body In politics because he iS sup- ported by somebody else iS again demonstrated by the outbreak Of tho disagreement between Gov. Land0n and Mr. William Randolph Hearst on the subject of loyalty 0athS for school teachers
 "Mr. Hearst i8 a man of strong convictions. And ln his newspaper this morning he diSagrcCB heartily on the subject Of loyalty Oaths with Gov. LandOn; whom ne iB support ing for the presidency.
 MT. Hearst has had similar dlB- agreements with MT. Franklin Dee lanO Roosevelt, whom nc supported for the presidency in 1032, and with Herbert Hoover, whom hG support cd for the presidency in 1928,
 MT. Hearst would Dc the last man t0 imagine that he can control the candidate whom he supports. He would also Dc the last man to attempt t0 do it, He has had too much experience"
 "rhe boss of the republican party has already communicated his views to his candidates. MT. Hearst is even on such intimate terms with the candidate that hc can venture, as the letter shows, to express his opinion as to what he believed the governor feels. Probably his opin- ion aS t0 Gov. Landon's views is c pretty siirewd one ct that" Hard's reply to Ickes' speech was made 46 minutes before the interior secres taFy went on tho air. A member of the publicity staff Of the Nas tlonal BroadCasting Company in New York told the United Press that c "cheCkup revealed that MT. Hard had seen an advance copy of Mr. fCkeB speech"

New York, Aug. 2e-(UP)--A young man smiled at fellow Sight- seers on the o0th floor of the EIn- pire State building today then climbed to 6 rampant and leaped out in space to his death on the pavement almost 1000 feet below.

 The young man was identified by cards in his pockets as Robert ?. Erskine, 2l, of 20 Herford place, Bronxville, ". Y. His body struck virtually the only clear space on congested 33rd street.
