u. ). WILL KEEP
WAR RESERVE
BY ERIC FREEDMEN
International News Service

Possibility of another SubStan-
tial Federal borrowing was seen
today as a precautionary measure
against war in Europe.
For some time now Secretary OF
the Treasury Morgenthau has been
keeping 1000 million dollars cash
on hand to meet any emergency.
Officials explained that should
the Spanish revolution precipitate
an European war, this Govern
ment must have ample funds ready
to protect American interests and
investments.
The Treasury's next financial
program is scheduled for Septem-
Der Is when a 514-million-dollar
note issue natures. These will be
refinanced by permitting holders
to exchange them for new notes.
If the Treasury continues it's
policy of maintaining a cash re-
serve it probably will borrow 500
millions in September, through
new bond issues.
The Treasury now has a working
balance of 526 millions. So far
only 1,180 millions has been paid
to war veterans on their bonus.
Regular expenditures, including
relief, have averaged 900 millions
a month.
The Federal Reserve Board
order reducing surplus funds of
member banks would not hamper
Federal borrowing, Morgenthau
predicted. He also declared the
Administration does not contem-
plate a request for additional
levjes. He said:
I'VE are entirely satisfied
with the 1886 tax bill. There is
no intention of the Administra'
ton to propose new taxes"

Police Scan Intimacies
Jotted by StrangIed
~ MurieI West

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. IS QN.S0.
A young girls diary today entered
the police investigation of the
strangulation of Muriel Lucille
West, 19-year-old socialite.
Seeking a motive for the crime
to which Miss Vests rejected
sutton, Winston Gardiner, has con-
fessed, ace detectives today
scanned intimacies which the girl
jotted down in her little book.
Although they kept tie writings
a secret, officers intimated they
showed Miss West was interested
in another man. This would supply
q motive for the strangulation
which Gardiner says he committed
in an insane rage"
Gardiner, a 23-year-old radio
operator aboard the U. IS. Mary
land, continued to pray for a
speedy death sentence in his soil
tary cell here today. He told police
he strangled the girl with a bath
towel in his sisters apartment
after she told him she did not
want to see him again.
From an unexpected source SYM
pathy came for the confessed STAY
er today. It was voiced by Mr..
and Mrs. Stanley West, parents
Of the murdered girl, who said
they felt no bitterness toward the
handsome young sailor. West said:
"He must have been in a tenn
peramental rage. l feel sorry
for him."

alliances has been proved. The
World War ruined the world,
and almost made it an unfit

are traceable to it.
There is no doubt, in my
mind, but that propaganda

RIVAL BUSY

Trip Is 'NonpoIiticaI, !
Executive Says, But
Leaders Wonder
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Eleven weeks from today some
100000 voters will troop to the
polls to endorse or reject the New
Deal.
OstenSibly unmindful of that
fact, and leaving his Republican
rival busily campaigning in the
EaSt-in fact, in his own State
President Roosevelt sets out to-
night on a 4,OO0-mile journey
through a dozen States which will
bring him into contact and con-
ference with scores of midwest
ern leaders in the next 10 days.
Mr.. Roosevelt insists that his
trip is "nonpolitical," and con-
cerned solely with getting first
hand view of the ravishing effects
of the worst drought in the coun-
try's history-a drought that has
scared and burned the nations
most productive area and brought
hundreds of thousands of farm
families to their economic knees,
appealing to the Federal Govern
ment for help.
Think 1t Impossible
Conceding the sincerity of Mr..
Roosevelt's desire to keep politics
off his train, the politicians of
both parties nevertheless do not
think it possible. After all, there
is additionally and actually a po-
litical tinge whenever a President
ventures forth from Washington.
And in a campaign year, such as
this, the political aspect becomes
inevitably more fixed in the pub
lie mind. Especially in view of
the fact the campaign already is
in full swing.
The language puriSt would insist
that the trip is political anyway,
for the dictionary defines "politi-
cal" as pertaining to public policy
=. to the science of government.
And probably Mr.. Roosevelt would
be the last to insist that his trip
doesn't pertain to public policy or
to the science of government. In
any event, the President and his
advisers insisted the journey would

BAN ON ARMS
u. 5. PROBLEM
BY ROBERT G. NIXON
International News Service

AS European nations precipi-
lately shaped an arms embargo
against Spain, the action emerged
today, paradoxically, as a direct
threat to the United States firm
neutrality stand.
The moment Europe haltS it's
shipments this country will be-
come a major potential source of
supply for arms, munitions and
particularly airplaneS.
Six weeks of warfare is believed
to have brought the ammunition
of both factions close to depletion.
Only Japan, in addition to the
United States, would remain
among the major powers with
munitions factories capable of
supplying the demand of such
large scale fighting as SPANS
internal strife.
United States POwerleSs
Unlike the European powers,
the United States is poWerless to
invoke an arms embargo against
Spain.
President Roosevelt has de.
clared an attitude of strict neu'
trality and has informed Amer
lean airplane manufacturers that
shipment of planes to either fac
ton in Spain would not be in
keeping with the spirit of the
Governments policy.
But the Administration has
admitted it is without authority
to use other than moral suasion
in an attempt to discourage sale
of war supplies.
The neutrality act, which was in.
voked against Italy and Ethiopia
in Mussolini'S war of conquest
against the black empire, applies
only to two or more nations at
war, and not to an instance of civil
war.
Officials Concerned
Should an European arms en-
barge become alright and the
Spanish warning factions turn to
the United States munitions manu-
facturers for their guns and am,
munition the view is held that Eu.
rope would charge the United
States with aiding and abetting the
strife.
Gravely concerned over the pros
pect, State Department officials
are seeking some means Of pre-
venting shipments of war materials
to either side in Spain.
Thus far they have succeeded
in preventing shipments by max
ing it plain the Government OPP
poses such sales. How long thi;
situation will hold should either
the loyalists or rebels place heavy
orders in this country is a mat
ter that is causing considerable
perturbation in the State Depart
ment.

Here 1t is Friday, with the six game world series, nothing but a pleasant memory to some of us who were fortunate enough to see a game or two, but the car owners who came in today, were still sports the Yale PennSyl- vania football game tomorrow at New Haven being one of the topics of conversation. Waterbury, 1t seems, houses a full-fledged Yale cheering section, but Penn's Qua kers weer not without their rooters, indicating, from wha I could gath CT, a nip and tuck football game tomorrow afternoon.
 In the meantime some of the folks who sort of ''pass in review" nearly every day in the course of earning their daily bread include: Messrs Brownell and Bagley. One sells insurance and the other sells New Enamel, but they are both agreed on the qualities of ESso when it comes to their automobiles. In fact, MT. Brownell said: Esso is as line running insurance as one could buy, at any price," That dapper looking Individual asking for an oil change for his car is none other than the popular Dr. John Hackett while not far behind him comes Dr. Ruby, who also has done right well in the matter of healing and helping the sick.
 And here comes Harold (arbiter) Hadley, who sells Arch -Preserver shoes for a living and dons base ball shoes on Sundays in his capa- city as one of the best umpires of our City Amateur league. Con- vincing anyone of the quality and economy of Esso is a cinch com- pared to convincing an irate ball player that the ball went through the heart of the plate while he had his bat on his shoulder.

 Westbury, N. Y., Oct. 9.-(UP).-- Ds=edevil racing drivers of i've na- tions, pitting their skin and cour- age against the million dollar man. man hazards of Roosevelt raceway, drove their powerful machines around the four mile maze again today to qualify for Mondays $60,- 900 Vanderbilt cup race.
 So dangerous is this course, that the contest board of the American Automobile association, ordered the Vanderbilt race cut from the orig inal 400 miles to 300 miles explain ing that 1t seems humanly improb- able that any one driver could com- plete the entire distance without relief"
 The difncllty of solving the course is seen in the top-qualifying speed of Tuzio Nuvolari of Italy, Eu- ropes greatest driver. Nuvolari has registered 87 victories in 153 road races against Europe's leading pilots but only averaged 69.92 miles an hour on the 20 mile qualifying test, although he hit 1t up to nearly 160 on the one Hong" straightaway- seven-tcnths of a mile.
 Stand0ut
 "There Is no course in Europe so difficult, so taxing" he said. "No, not even Nonza, but I still hope to score decisive victory in my Alpha Romeo"
 Rain kept the drivers in their garages yesterday preventing French and British drivers, just arrived, from qualifying attempts. The Ital- ians' big challenge is expected to come from Jean Wimille and Ray mond Sommer, co-winners of the French Grand Priz this year.
 Among other prominent foreign drivers attempting to qualify are Philippe Etencelin of Rouen, France; Freddie McAvoy, leading driver of Australia; Lord Howe and the Hon. Brian Lewis of England; Count Antonio Brivio and Dr. Giussepe Farina of Italy. Count Brivio has the second highest quali- flying speed of 67.03 M. P. H.
 Billy Vim of Detroit, in a Miller special, was clocked in IS minutes TIT seconds for an average of 6655 to lead American qualifiers. Be- hind him came Wilbur Shaw with 66.24. Completing their qualifying tests in the following order were: Dr. Farino; George Connor, Los Angeles; Deacon Lit, Dubois, Pa; Al. Putnam, Glendale, Calif.; and Red Shafer, Des Moines.
