ed and accused one another until
the case was in a tumble. Some
of them, like Zinoviev, proudly ac-
cepted responsibility for the plot,
which was said to have been engi-
neered by the exiled Leon Trotzky.
All sixteen were declared guilty
and executed by firing squad.
Twelve more men and one wom-
an, the government announced,
were held for examination and
probable trial. Some of these were
involved by the confessions of the
sixteen conpirators.
Prosecutor Vishinsky said Greg
ory Sokolnikoff, former ambassador
to the court of St. James, and M.
Seredyakoff, a former vice minister
of communications, were under
criminal charges. Under investiga-
ton, he said, were Nicolai Bukha-
rim, editor of the government pub
ication Izvestia; Karl Radek,
prominent soviet commentator; M.
P. Tomsky, former chic of trade
unions and now head of the state
publishing house; Alexei Rykov,
commissar of posts and telegraphs,
and Gregory Pyatakoff, assistant
commissar for heavy industry.
In the case on trial the defend
ants revealed the fact that not only
were they plotting the assassination
of Stain and four others, but
planned also to betray 1'rotzky and
place Zinoviev and Kamenev in su-
preme power.
Trotzky, at Hoenefoss, Norway,
scoffed at the Moscow proceedings
as ''humbug." 'Fof political ven
geance," he said, 1.-The trial puts
the Dreyfus scandal and the reich
stag fire in the shadow. The confes-
sions were forced by the 'Ogpu'
(secret police), which gives the ac-
cused choice between confessing
according to the Ogpu's desires and
taking lesser penalties or death"

Civil War in Spain
Likely to Be Long


a FTER more than five weeks OF
L \ desperate fighting, neither the
Spanish loyalists nor the rebels
were able to claim a decided ad-
vantage, and it became evident that
the conflict would be long drawn
out if the other European nations
could keep aloof This latter even
tuality was made more probable
by Adolf Hitler's announcement
that the German government had
ordered an embargo on arms to
Spain. He thus lined his country
up with Great Britain and France,
and Italy had accepted the French
proposal for neutrality, though with
some reservations.
These neutral nations, how
ever, do not intend to be imposed
upon and both the British and the
German governments made strong
protests to the Madrid government
against alleged violation of the free
dom of the seas. Five British war
ships set sail from Gibraltar and
Hitler sent seven from the Baltic
to enforce the demands that inter
ference with shipping cease. The
crews of these vessels were ready
for immediate action.
Germany's chief complaint was
that the steamship Kamerun had
been stopped and searched and not
permitted to enter the port of Cadiz,
held by the rebels. However, the
Kamerun proceeded to a Portu-
guese port and, according to an
American correspondent, there un-
loaded twenty-three carloads of
war material that was sent across
Portuguese territory tc the insurg-
ents at Badajoz and Salamanca.
Rebel airplanes made heir first
attack on Madrid, bombing two air
ports and allegedly destroying a
considerable number of loyalist
planes. This was in retaliation for
the airplane bombing by the gov
ernment of open cities held by the
insurgents.
Merciless slaughter of captives
and hostages on both sides con-
tinued. Several Frenchmen who
were captured by the rebels while
serving with the loyalist troops
were executed, and word was sent
to France that the same fate await
ed any other French nationals
caught aiding the Madrid govern
ment. The rebel leaders are espe-
cially enraged against France, in
siSting that many French planes
have been assisting the government
and that the loyalist force that in
vaded Mallorca is composed largely
of French and Russian volunteers
using French munitions.

Believes Crop Insurance
Can Be DEVELOPED

ID OY M. GREEN of the Depart
IN ment of Agriculture, who has
been conducting a study of the sub
ject of crop insurance, says he is
confident a workable form OF all
risk crop insurance under federal
guidance can be developed. Secre-
tary Wallace and President Roose-
welt are deeply interested in the
matter.
At least four ventures by private
companies into this field in the last
thirty-seven years have met with
either bankruptcy or a lack of pub
lie acceptance, Green said, b t
added that study had revealed
flaws which could be avoided.
Green contended these efforts
failed because they were income,
not crop insurance" By having
farmers pay their premiums in
grain, and by paying losses the
same way, he argued, the danger
of price change would be elm
mated.

DOLDLY defying the Nazi govern

country is greater than anywhere
else in Czechoslovakia-73 unem-

They charge that this is partly the

Simple suits are always in de-

suits is subtle and therefore always
expensive. Chanel has created a

Navy Building Bids Show
Costs Have Gone Up

CTARTING its 1887 building pro-
- gram, the Navy department
opened bids on twelve ne v destroy
ers and six submarines. The bids
came from private shipyards and
estimates were submitted by navy
yards, according to law. The latter
were not made public.
It was found that the cost of con-
struction has advanced approxi-
mately $1,O0O,OO0 per vessel in the
last year. A year ago contracts for
destroyers averaged $4,000, 900, and
$2,500,0 600 for submarines. Present
bids were about a million dollars
higher on each type of craft.

Congressmen Versus Taxes.

A GAINST my better judgment,
\ I'm trying to be cheered by the
announcement of the present ma
jority leaders in congress that, look
ing forward to the next session,
they behold NO new taxes ahead.
But, after election, when the lads
look closer, they'll probably be able
to behold quite a few.
That's why balanced budget is
like the idea of santa claus-some-
thing everybody talks about, but
nobody ever expects to see. Ex-
cepting when campaign is on and
the voters are sort of finc.ling their
CALLED backs under the load, a IA
vorite pastime of legislators, wher-
ever found, is thinking up more
taxes to go along with the taxes
the've already thunk up.
They resist the craving for just
so long, and then they notice some
previously overlooked dollars hiding
behind the Dashboard, and then
well. you might hire a henhawk to
guard your henhouse, but could you
