PANAMA DISPUTE i IS DISPOSED OF

Washington, March 2- tUP) - Settlement of the U. s. Panama controversy over reyaluation of the American dollar was revealed today with signature of a general treaty between the United States and Panama.
 The agreement shifts the basis of payments made by the United States from U. s. gold dollars, as previously provided, to Panama currency.
 Whereas previously the United States had been obligated to pay Panama $250,0O0 in gold annually, the new agreement set the payment as z30,000 balboas, Panama cur rency unit.
 The new basis of payment is re- troactive to the 1881 payment.
 The dispute over the payments arose when the United States de- valued the dollar The American Eovernment sought to pay the an- nuity in devalued currency. Panama insisted that 1t be made in gold and refu-ed to accept a United States offer of payment.
 The treaty signed today detailed the new basis of payment in an effort to avoid future miSunder- standings.

Inc.," Father iCoughlin advised delegates to the St 7 Louis meeting to be brave in delib- erations, and lauded them for their bravery to organize land fight death, if necessary, against the snonopolistic tendency which is moving America nearer and nearer she goal of Stalinized communism.

Continued from Page l) and Miss Rogerson, 20, disappeared from the Buxton home at Lancas- ter. Soon afterward, up in Dum- friesshire across the Scots border people began finding bits of human bodies scattered over wide area.
 Police began checking up missing people all over the country. Scien- tists were called in to reconstruct the bodies. They were so skillfully and minutely cut to pieces that 1t was long time before the sex of the bodies could be determined, even before 1t was known that two women were the victims.
 Scientists Built Bodies
 By weeks of laboratory work the scientists built up the bodies while police, with nothing to work on but bits of clothing, chiefly a stained patched blouse, set out to identify them.
 One day police asked Ruxton about his wife and Miss Rogerson
 He had told different people diff ferent stories as to why the two women left home. He could not satisfy police and was arrested.
 For weeks police went over the Buxton house and grounds. They almost took the house to pieces They questioned hundreds of peo- pie who knew RuXton or had met him. or who had seen him.
 At last they were able to say that they would charge that Ruxto: murdered his wife because oi jealousy. and Miss Ro2erson be- cause he feared she knew of the wifes sleying.
 Everything Examined
 Bits of earth from the garden pieces of floor boarding. thousand; of minute bits of material taken from the house were examined for bloodstains.
 At last the police case was com- plete. Eu:;ton was held for trial shouting Liar" at prosecution wit negses. and heard the scientists say positively that they could identify Mrs. Ruxton and Miss Rogerson beyond the possibility of a doubt as the persons whose bodies had been dismembered 90 carefully and scat tered over the Scots Countryside.
