home in the same manner in
which he tricked Allen.
He wore a bean sack over his
head with Sits cut for his eyes.
When Elliott swung the door
open, the bandit jabbed a butcher
knife against his ribs and de,
manded:
where's your dough?"
Elliott told the bandit he kept
his money in his bedroom up

DETROIT, Nov. 10 Q.N.S).
Declaring the nation stood on
the brink of another depression,
Professor Raymond Moley, once
the No. / "braintruster" of the
New Deal, today laid the blame
on the doorstep of President F. D.
Roosevelt.
In Detroit to deliver a lecture
tonight, Moley said the depres-
sion, if it comes, could be traced
principally to the tax on surplus
profits, and Administration poll
cies which increase the cost of
living.
He said at present the business
recession was a minor one, but
warned that it may become Sc
rious.
Moley said the blame should
be placed on the President.
He also stated that the recent
Detroit elections in which a CIO
labor slate was defeated should
give the Democratic party some
thing to think about"
He aSserte d industrial labor
unions would remain, but not un-
der, the present policies of the
CIO.
'The mistakes of the CIO are
its methods and it's entry into
politics." Moley claimed.

LABOR CHIEFS
PESSIMISTIC
over PEACE
New Breach Stirs
Fears of Heads
BY EDWARD B. LoCKETT

U.N.S.) A CIO change of mind,
against appointment of subcom'
mittees to smooth out conflicts in
individual industries, brought the
current recess in peace negotia-
tions between the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor and the Committee
for Industrial Organization.
Plans were virtually completed
for the naming of approximately
30 subcommittee, and announce
ment of the action at the
conclusion of yesterdays sessions,
when CIO conferees switched
against this program after a
luncheon conference with John L,
Lewis.
ASK AUTONOMY
The CIO peace committee,
headed by Phillip Murray, came
back to the all-day conference
from lunch to demand that the
AFL concede establishment of an
autonomous CIO department in
the Federation, before subcommit-
tees were appointed. This demand
the AFL committee turned down,
and then the CIO leaders an
nounced they would not agree to
appointment of subcommittee.
This was learned from an au-
thoritative source here today, as
the CIO-AFL peace parley stood in
recess until Thursday, November
10.
Privately, both sides today were
pessimistic over chances for
eventual success of the peace
meetings, but were determined to
come back into conference anyway
and plug along to see what can
be done.
INFORMAL MEETS
There will be, too, informal get
togethers of leaders of both sides
during the recess, and 1T may be
that the differences which devel-
oped yesterday can be patched
up.
It may be that President Roose-
velt is quietly directing pressure
to bring about reconciliation.
Whether his efforts will be a sue
cess is another matter.
SIGNS OF INTEREST
Several significant develop
ments in the labor picture have
indicated Mr.. Roosevelt is giving
more than casual thought to bring
ing together again the forces
whose differences split the AFL
more than a year ago.
First of all, Edward F. McGrady
is in town, and has conferred
with the President. McGrady
formerly was assistant Secretary
of Labor and ace peacemaker for
the labor leaders. After his meet
ing with the President, the chief
executive smilingly told reporters
that he and ED" had a hen on
in other words, that something
was up"
This meeting was held a few
days after Mr.. Roosevelt publicly
announced he favored a reunion
of the AFLCIO forces.

HORSE SHOW SHIFT
IS FORCED BY RAIN
Jumpers to Use Fort Myer
Indoor Hall Due to
MeadoWbrook Mud.
By RoBERT r. PHILLIPS. JR.

Heavy rains that made the Meadow
brook Horse Show grounds danger
ously muddy today forced moving of
the Inter-American Horse Show to
the indoor riding hall at Fort Myer
where the United States Army and
the Belgian Army teams were to re-
sumo their military team jumping
competition this afternoon.
More than 100 horses taking part
in the show and the complete set-up
at Meadowbrook were being moved to
Fort Myer this morning. Officials
were not certain whether conditions
of the grounds at Meadowbrook would
permit the closing events of the show
to be held there tomorrow.
Begin at 2:30 PM.
The events scheduled for today
we're to begin at 23o in the Fort
Myer hall. Because of the halls
limited seating capacity, only re-
served seats we're being sold. These
can be obtained at the Fort Myer
ticket office.
After making an almost clean sweep
of the international individual mill
tary class. the $500 jumping stake. the
fault-and -out and, for that matter,
everything that came in their way, the
horsemen of the United States Army
were faced today with the task of re-
deeming themselves in team competi-
ton against the visitors from Belgium.
On opening day Thursday the gentle
men Belgique established lead of 20
TO % faults over the American squad.
Yesterday the honors went not en-
tirely to the United States horse show
team, a share being cut by the lads
from Fort Myer, but altogether the
afternoon was washout for the Bel
gians. The best they could do was to
place Whisky, ridden by Capitaine
Commandant Chevalier Henri de Men,
ten de Horne. second in the interna-
tional division. This, of course, had
no effect on team standings and the
lads who face jumps that resemble
mountains today have only the honor
de nacion in mind.
Wing Is Riding Hero.
AS rider, Lieut. Franklin Wing, IT,,
was the hero of yesterdays meet. Atop
the great old Dakota he made the
only clean round of the international
course. and with the 2l-year-old vet
eran Joe Aleshire beneath i'm, he
whipped around the $500 jumping
stake course in record time. Second
to him was Capt. Bernard Luebber-
mann on Billy, and the margin be-
tween them was two-fifths of second
an advantage the clever Lieut.. Wing
gained by cutting his corners short
In the fault-and out, Capt. Milo

squad, took away the blue with swift
and clean round on Scamp's Boy, one

VOICES ACROSS THE SEA,
Gas Mask Tests
In Kitchen Fell
Many in Berlin
' Radi to the Star.


BERLIN, October 23.-Many Ger
mans who received or bought gas
masks in anticipation of their nation
wide distribution in the next few
weeks, have tried them in their homes
and been overcome by the fumes Of
kitchen gas, it is revealed here today.
Government authorities hasten to
warn the public today against home
experiments which heretofore they
have urged. The filters of the stand
ard gas mask will not turn back the
coal oxyde contained in kitchen gas,
the public is warned.
In issuing the new equipment the
government had claimed that it was
efficacious against every known gas.
The public assumed that this included
cooking gas Bolder citizens who
closed the doors and opened the burn
ers on their kitchen ranges, have been
asphyxiated, however.
