STUDENT SLAIN
IN DUEL MISHAP

PARIS, Sept. % d.N.SJ.-The
death Of 24-year-old Rene Moral,
brilliant young medical student,
has temporarily dampened enthu-
siasm here for the sport of fenc-
ing.
Moral, one of the finest fencers
in France, was killed during
match with Haro Olivia, a young
Mexican student, at the Palais DIES
Sports. 1t was a bizarre tragedy.
Twice, the Frenchman had
touched his Mexican adversary.
Brilliantly. he was attacking for
the third time for what seemed
certain victory. OLIVIA parted a
violent thrust. Force of the con-
tact broke The Mexican's rapier.
The unprotected end of the slender
weapon sank deep in Morals
chest.
Blood guShed from Morals
mouth and chest. He managed to
stagger to a chair. He was rushed
to a hospital where he died. His
heart hal been pierced.

fingers, while the slightest mad
vertent compression causing it to
beat either faster or slower would
mean paralysis and immediate
asphyxiation of the patient
through lack of oxygen in the
blood stream, the surgeon separ-
ated the tip of the heart from the
sac to which it had become at
tached.
Then he made a long inciSion
vertically downward through the
sac as far as the diaphragm, the
set of muscles separating the
heart and lungs from the digestive
apparatus.
Replacing the liberated heart in
its normal position, the surgeon
reinstated the section Of the
breastbone. sewing it into place
with silver stitches.

about the power of his small or
ganization. The strangest is his
statement that Jewish men study
ing to be rabbis save tinfoil for
anti-semetic Nazi Germany.
why, even the Jews here
have nothing against u.s." Zim-
mer tells me as we sit in his
comfortable home. "You know
there is a big rabbi college here.
And believe it or not, they even
help us. We collect tin foil which
we send to Germany, where the
government makes use of it in
one way or another. We even
collect thousands of used bottle
tops and send them over.
well, the Jewish rabbis only
the other day sent me a big box
of tin foil they had been saving
for months. They thought 1t
might be helpful. and I guess
they want to be friendly"
thinner talks freely of Cincin-
natl Bund activities after recogniz-
ing me in a picture Of the national
convention banquet. He shows me
a photograph taken that evening
in which I am seated in front of
Fritz Kuhn.
TO SEEK NEW MEMBERS
1--WE have only something over
100 members" he says, "but
we have hundreds of sympathiz-
erS throughout Cincinnati and
the surrounding countryside. In
fact, our friends have been in
creasing to Sucn an extent that
I am planning a membership
drive among nearby farmers.
You see, more than so per
cent of Cincinnati is Of German
extraction. That is a tremen-
douS help to us. OF course.
most Of these people do not
agree with Hitler, but at the
same time Hitler represents
Germany to them. And they
will not tolerate any criticism,
verbal or written, Of Germany.
They consider it a reflection on
themselves.
"As a result, there Is prac-
tically no trouble confronting
us. I only wish there were.
Ary attack would serve to get
us many new members. I know
from past experience it is easy
20 arouse our German popula-
ton and they quickly line up
with us. Many may not join us
openly, but they fight with us
in a whispering campaign and
through secret financial contri-
buttons"
RADICALS" BOOTED OUT
"Some of them wanted to go
out and shoot down the Jews
and started a lot of trouble" he
says. 1--WE don't want that sort
of thing. And though it cost
us quite a few members we took
action to kick out every radical
person. Now our bund is formed
only Of liberals"
To emphasize the absence of
radicals" in the Cincinnati post
thinner points out seven of his
storm troops are members of the
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
Then thinner reveals what he
says is one of the chief reasons
for the power Of the Cincinnati
Bund.

tinues, but we have a perma-
nent list of silent contributors.
Most Of them are wealthy Ger
mans who feel they cannot af-
ford, for political or business
reasons, to support us openly,
but who are sympathetic with
our movement. And, of course,
they are equally bitter toward
Jews"

KEENE SUICIDE
THEORY SECUTED
Last in World to Have
Taken Own Life" Says
Distant Cousin.

Charley was the last man in the
world to have killed himself. .. .
"Under the circumstances, a suicide
theory is in direct conflict with Char
ley's whole life and nature"
Walter Blount, distant cousin of the
late Charles F. Keene and perhaps
his most intimate friend, was en-
phatic in his opinion.
Blount discussed the strange rys-
terry today aboard his yacht Sunshine.
where Keene stopped for a chat just
before he embarked on the night of
May 13 on the steamer District of
Columbia for Norfolk.
AT that time, Blount was able to
give his friend of 80 years some busi-
ness tips which the real estate man
noted on slip of paper The paper
was found on Keene's body yesterday.
IhlS was tangible evidence to sup
port Blount's conviction that Keene
left Washington intent on business
plans for the future, and with no
thought Of ending his life during the
Norfolk voyage
Two notations on the slip-"Bra-
love- and Hendricks entered
by Keene, Blount said as a result of
their conversation aboard the Sum
shine, which lay at anchor near the
District of Columbia.
Blount said he tipped off the real
estate trader, who dealt in a variety
OF commodities, that a man named
Bralove had a boat for sale. and that
an interior decorator named Hem
bricks was interested in purchasing
several acres of a country estate.
I'm sure Charley made the notes
from our conversation that afternoon
with view to running them down on
his return from Norfolk. He was in
need of money, know, and deter
mined to mend his fortunes.
Too Charley was most optimistic
about his chances of closing profit
able deal in Norfolk Charley did
not say whom he planned to see in
Norfolk, nor did he discuss details of
the deal, but this was natural. He
had an agents reluctance to reveal
the parties to trade.
When he came on board the Sun
, shine he already had taken his lug
