Declares Spies Of Japan InfeSt
 Pacific Coast
Soviet Official Also Says American Intelligence
 Prevail in Orient

MOSCOW, Dec. 20.-A high Sovi- ct official says America is "overrun with Japanese spies and Japan. in its turn, seems the arena for Am erican Intelligence services"
 The declaration was made by M P. Frinovesky, Vice-Commissar of Internal Affairs and Vice Chief of the Soviet Secret Political police.
 The charge is made in an article in the Pravada, newspaper, in which the official is discussing the execution of eight men, once high ranking Communists, for selling So- viet secrets.
 Fascist spies," says Frinovesky, America, particularly on the Pa- cific Coast and Panama Canal, are known to be Japanese. We will con- tinue to destroy spies, terrorists and plotters and counter revo- lutionists of all shades"
 This is taken to indicate that the purge in Russia is not in sight.

R. W. BINGHAM PASSES AWAY
 IN BAL TIM0RE
Newspaper Publisher, Lat erEnvoy to Great Britain,
 Dies - Funeral Today

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Dec. 20. = A special railway car bore the body of Robert Worth Bingham home to this city today for burial at the scene where he achieved fame as a news paper publisher before becoming United States Ambassador to Great Britain.
 The Department of War, at the request of the State Department sent four troops of dismounted cav airy from Fort Knox to act as an escort of honor for the 66 year old envoy at the private burial in Cave Hill cemetery this afternoon.
 Sir Ronald Lindsay. British Am- bassador, accompanied the body on the train and Marvin Mcintyre represents the President.
 Died on Saturday
 Bingham died last Saturday night in a hospital in Baltimore where he went immediately upon his arrival from London over a week ago to have complete survey made of his condition. He contracted malaria while abroad.
 In Newspaper Business
 When Robert Worth Bingham, publisher of The Courier Journal and The Louisville Times, purchased those papers, August ', 1918, he had never been in a newspaper office except to renew his subscription. Bingham was a successful lawyer, active in public affairs in his city and state. Tn the years that followed, however, he served his apprentice ship in the intricacies of his adopted profession and emerged news paperman.
 In acquiring his newspapers Bing- ham was not actuated by spirit of gain. Because of his wealth the com- mercial venture was secondary. Fifty years under the editorship of Henry Watterson had built up around the papers certain traditions and a def mite place in public estimation. Bingham needed this tradition and standing to give his adopted state of Kentucky his ideas, which he con- sidered beneficial to the public well fare.

IDOL, GERMAN WORLD WAR
 ARMY,
Gen. Erich Ludendorf, on Road to Recovery, Sud-
 denly Collapses

MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 20. = Gen. Erich Ludendorff, 72, idol of the German Army, is dead here. The German World War commander, ap- parently recovering from an oper- ation for infected bladder, suddenly took a turn for the worse as the result of heart trouble.
 One of the master military minds of Imperial Germany, Gen. Luden- dorff won international fame as chief of staff of Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg on both the eastern and western fronts of the World War and finally as Chief Quarter master General of the whole huge war machine when he organized Germany's last desperate fight.
 At the storming of Liege, Bel gium, in the first week of the big conflict, later with Hindenburg in crushing the Russians in East Prus- sia and finally as organizer of the front and inspiration for the big front and inspiration for the big spring push of 1913 that had the Allies with their backs to the wall" Ludendorff gained a pinnacle of popular acclaim in Germany and postwar memoirs from his foes paid tribute to his strategy, organizing ability and resourcefulness in ac- ton.
 Gen. A. Noskoff, former chief of staff of the third Russian army group, wrote after the war:
 "Ludendorff was regarded by us Russians as something akin to a master magician. His name, and Hendenburg's were more familiar to Russians than those of our own leaders"
 IrascibIe as Ex-HerO
 But in the closing weeks of the war Ludendorff's whole destiny was sent off on tangent. He quarreled with the Kaiser and was dismissed from his high army post; he was accus- ed by the organizers of the German republic of prolonging the conflict, and fled to temporary exile in Swe- den.
 Thereafter, embittered by the turn of events, he became a caustic pub- licist. In the early postwar year he took part in every anti-republican revolutionary movement that prom ised success, including the Kapp at- tempt of March, 1926, and Adolf Hitlers famous beer cellar putsch' of 1923. He st o od trial for high treason in connection with the Hit Ter affair, but won acquittal.
