four Italian flyers were slain June &C.
Among those killed was Maj. An
tonic Locatelli, famous pilot and a
member Of the Balbo mass flight to
the United States in 1888. and Gen.
Vincenzo Magliocco, assistant chief of
aviation in East Africa during the
war.
The victims, occupying three air
planes, had been making an obser-
Mtion flight over the Wallega area.
They landed N a district frequented
by fierce and hostile tribesmen.
The natives attacked the group, de-
stroying the planes and killed the 10
occupants.

the affair did not explain the fate of

Royal Air Force Inspected
By Ed,Uard in Own Plane

His majesty was welcomed by Air
Chief Marshal Sir Edward Ellington,
who presented several high officers of
the Royal Air Force. The King then
inspected the aircraft and crews Of
three fighter squadrons.
Edward showed interest In the di-
rection finding station. He was given
a demonstration with an airplane in
flight. In other departments, where
some Of the major secrets Of the air
defense are housed, only the King, the
Duke of York and a few high officers
were allowed to enter.
His majesty had an impressive proof
Of how soon the fighting planes can
be in the air. An alarm siren sounded
and in three minutes, nine planes with
crews and full fighting equipment
were up.
Another impressive spectacle was
the diving of Fury" machines from
a height of 5000 feet at 800 miles an
hour.
Later the King and his brother went
to Wittering, where another large

INDIANAPOLIS, July 8.-Indiana
State police began search today
for three men who Capt. Matt Leach
said, were named last night by Heber
L. Hicks, 38-year-old Cincinnati chauf-
feur, as the slayers of Harry L. Miller,
retired Cincinnati fire captain.
Leach announced at Seymour, Ind,
last night that Hicks had confessed
he employed the three men to kill
Miller and said the murder occurred
at Miller's cottage at New Trenton,
Ind.
Miller's dismembered body was
found in Kentucky recently. The
torso was found near Eminence, KY,
and the head and hands, imbedded in
a box of cement, were found in a
lake near Carrollton, KY.
Hicks confession, Leach said, ex-
onerated Miss Flora Miller, 66, the
murdered mans sister, who had been
held by State police for several days,
and she was released.
Robbery was the motive for the
murder, Leach said. and he added
that Hicks told him he had $4,000
worth of securities, belonging to Mil
Ter, in a safe in Cincinnati.
Miller was killed June II, Hicks
told State police, but he insisted

The long-awaited Ristine report on

In fact, he added, he does not think

BY JOHN c. HENRY.

Carrying the weight of labor's most
nomentous crisis in years. members
of the Executive Council of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor went into
closed session at 2:3o pm. today.
Before them was the problem Of
serving as judges in complaints which
they had directed against the IL men,
ber unions of the Committee for In
dustrial Organization and which those
unions were refusing to answer. In
brief, the major charge is that the
c. I. o. has promoted dual unionism
and is transgressing prerogatives OF
the A. F. of L. in pressing independ-
emily its organization campaign in the
steel industry.
On the councils decision today may
hang the fate of that campaign and
the future prestige of William Greer
and John L. Lewis, rival factional
leaders. Also involved is the important
political effect which sharp labor
split would have in the, coming preSi-
Dental campaign.
Setting the stage for the councils
deliberations was a last-minute battle
of statements between Green and Lewis
and reiteration by the latter that he
would not honor the council with his
presence. Other C. I. o. leaders are
following his example.
Smarting under this rebuff. and re-
minded by Green of the serious"
offenses of the c. I. O., the council
may vote suspensions of the c. I. o.
unions from the A. F. Of L., with the
intention of voting their expulsion at
a later date. Such a decision, OF
course, would constitute a sharp and
conclusive break, divide the labor
movement into two non-co-operating
camps, minimize the effectiveness of
the pending organization drive and
have its effect on the labor vote in
the November elections, on which the
Democrats are counting.
The most likely alternative Is that
the council will recede temporarily
and postpone action on the alleged
offenses. The rift already is believed
too sharp to permit the council as a
whole to condone the c. l. o. action
and extend any cooperation in the
coming organization drive.
An omiuous sign for those who were
hopeful that the two labor factions
would bury the hatchet" in the COM

plainly noted this morning as Green

GUILTY IN BRIBERY.
Charge Reduced to MiSde-
meanor in Arlington County
Sewer Case.
srttial Dispatch to The Star

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
July 8-After Judge Walter T. Nc
Carthy ruled the bribery charge against
him a misdemeanor, Louis Bishop. a
former county sewer inspector, plead
ed guilty to the charge and was given
a one-year suspended jail sentence in
Circuit Court here today.
The judge sustained the plea of
Frank L. Ball, attorney for Bishop.
that a technicality in law prevented
the charge against the inspector who
pleaded guilty to having received a
$500 bribe from being classed as a
felony, as the indictment against him
read. Balls contention that Bishop
was an employe. but not an officer Of
the county, a distinction which de-
termined the nature of the charge
against him. was upheld.
The suspended sentence, given on
recommendation of Commemorative
Attorney Lawrence W. Douglas, was
in line with Judge McCarthy's decis-
ion on a guilty plea entered yesterday
by Nicholas c. Nichols, member of an
Erie Pa, construction firm who plead
ed guilty to having given Bishop the
$500 "gift of gratuity."
Nichols received a f1ve-year sus-
pended sentence on recommendation
of the Commonwealth attorney yes
terday.
Both men withdrew previous pleas
of not guilty. They were indicted by
an April grand jury of the court after
being arrested in March. The in
dictment charged that Nichols gave
Bishop the $500 bribe in connection
with erroneous reports filed by the
inspector for work performed by the
contractors firm during construction
of a part of the s2,700,000 county
wide sewer system.
The alleged incorrect report was
said to have caused the county to
overpay more than $4,000 for one
sewer line. The overpayments. were
deducted on subsequent estimates.

TRIP HINTS CHANGE
IN AUSTRIAN POLICY
Vienna Vice Chancellor Departs
for Official Visit to Premier

By the Associated Press.
VIENNA, July 8.-An important
foreign policy step, perhaps toward an
Austro- German rapprochement, was
foreseen today with the departure for
Budapest of Vice Chancellor Eduard
Baar- r-Baarenfeld of Austria.
He is making the trip as an official
visit to Premier Julius Goemboes of
Hungary.
Under the Rome pact-signed by
Austria, Italy and Hungary-a sigma
tory cannot undertake a change of
its foreign policy without the consent
of the other two.
Observers believed Italy's approval
was obtained before even the slightest
overture was made to Hungary and
before the vice chancellor was dis
patched on his visit to Goemboes.
