Cunningham to Try for
Mile Mark-Jap May
Take Pole Vault
BY ERNEST BARCELLA
United Press stan CorrespOndentl

Boston, Feb. 13-(UP-World in
door records will be on the spot to-
night wheel Uncle Sans greatest
track and field performers invade
Boston Garden for the 4Sth edition
Of the B. A. A. Games.
At least two Of eight major events
doomed IS likely TO produce record
shattering exhibitions. Air-minded
fans were convinced that new alt1-
tudes would be reached In the star
studded stratosphere specialtiea--
the pole vault and high Jump.
Looks Great
These possibilities plus renewal OF
the mile feud between Glenn C.iE-
ningham, monarch Of the milers;
Don Lash, Indiana's iron man"
and Gene Venzke, PENIS pretender
to the mile throne, promised TO at
tract the biggest trick crowd In Bos-
toms HISTORIAN estimated $4,000.
Experts predicted If any one mark
Is smashed tonight 1t will be the In
door vault mark Of IA feet 5 inches
achieved by Yales Keith Brown
three years ago. Basis for such a
forecast was the fact that three OF
the worlds great bamboo-pole rid
ers-outdoor champion George Var
of, Oregon's bass VOL yirtuoso;
Olympic champion Earl Meadows OF
Southern California and Sueo Chc,
the Japanese sensation-will ne IL
there soaring skyward. All have
done IN feet inches or better.
The other world mark most likely
to tumble Is the indoor high jump
record Of 8 feet, 8 1915 inches, held
jointly by Ed Burke OF Marquette
and Corny johnson, who also shares
the outdoor title with Dave Albr!t-
ton, Ohio States negro ace.
Besides johnson and Albritton,
entries In this event also include
Mel Walker, another Ohio State
negro star, and AL Threadgill OF
Temple.
Though a handful Of super-op-
tiinists. including Cunningham him
self, talked Of q new indoor mile
record, more conservative observers
estimated that a 4:10 clocking would
be nearer correct.
Opinions
Talk Of q new mile mark gained
impetus after Garden officials dis
closed during the past week that
an 1l-lap track has replaced the
old l2-lap saucer on which Cum
ningham made q new Boston indoor
record Of 4:11.9 two weeks ago. OPP
timism was based on Cunningham's
supposed remark to B. A. A. ON
cial that the Boston track was bet
ter than the New York oval on
which the flying Kansan established
his world indoor record Of 1904.
All he needed. Cunningham was
quoted as saying, was the proper
pace. Lash set q record-breaking
pace here q fortnight ago. and only
repeat performance will result IN
4:lO mile, let alone a record
breaking run. Arthur Clarke, Can
ada's mile king, Is the fourth entry
Lash also Is entered In another
standout event, the two-mile run.
The rest Of o brilliant field In this
one includes the Hungarian Miklos
Szabo: Norman Bright. Ray Sears,
Joe McCluskey and the Rideout
twins, Blaine and Wayne.
The 50-yard dash features Marty
Glickman Of Syracuse, Ben johnson
of Columbia and Eulace Peacock

Strip AEtisteS to Give
Special Court a Peep

NEW YORK, March % I.N.S0 .
-Four of Broadway's most gorgeous
strip artistes were to shed till it
hurts in special sessions today to
prove that what they do for iv-
ing is high art, not vulgarity.
The latter view is taken by John
Sumner, professional shock ab-
Sorber for the Society for the Pre-
vention of Vice. He got a terrible
jolt at Abe Minsky'S Gotham The
ater.
, The result was a police visit, and
a summons for Sam Kraus, the
manager.
Court Does Duty
Duty being duty, the court must
watch the act and then decide
whether the institution of strip
shall flourish in full glory in the
temples of take -'em-off or whether
there will be wholesale mop-up
very distressing to the customers.
Sumner, in his complaint, said
he had seen Muriel Lord, blonde

nude on the stage. He added:
Dancers removed their cloth
ing piece by piece, while others
leaped about in nothing at all.
Tall beauties stood in the back
ground on the stage with their
upper bodies unclOthed."
Plainclothes men in the theater
began making notes.
Kraus, the manager, thought
they were pirates stealing our
stuff" He sent an usher over to
make them stop. One showed his
badge.
From that moment on. it was
reported the show couldn't be dis

peared on everything from over

THOMAS A. LOAZA

MADRID, March % G.N.SO.
His Italian insurgent army disas-
trously routed on the Guadalajara
front, nationalist Generalissimo
Francisco Franco today reverted
to his familiar tactics of striking
at another sector.
The new fascist offensive was
launched in the Jarama River dis
trict, southeast Of Madrid, in a
fresh attempt to cut the Madrid
Valencia highway.
Heavy Fighting Reported
Heavy fighting in the neighbor-
hood of Arganda was reported by
the Seville radio. Franco hoped,
by forcing the loyalists to rush
reinforcements back to Arganda,
to end the panic flight Of the
Italians northeast of Guadalaj jara.
Pressing hot after the fleeing
insurgents, the loyalist army to-
day established it's first contact
with the fascist force since the
debacle began 10 days ago under
terrific loyalist aerial and artil-
lery bombardments.
600 Italians Captured
In a sharp engagement on the
Aragon Road, said a loyalist bull3-
tin, 60 more Italian soldiers were
captured, bringing the total to sew
eral hundred. One Italian staff
major and several other Italian Of
ficerS were killed.
Loyalists estimated at least 1000
Italians killed in the Guadalajara
action. More than 1000 rifles. 200
machine guns, and 100000
rounds Of ammunition were left
at Brihuega when the Italians
fled, authorities said.
In one military order of the day,
what purported to be message
from the fascist grand council at
Rome saying $1,000 Italians were
fighting in Spain was found.

mains Mystery After
Investigation

CANTON, Ohio, March %
GN.S0.-The eleventh day since
Mrs. Rose Gable, Canton society
matron, was shot to death in her
home, found authorities as baf-
fled today as to the identity of the
shot-gun-wielder as on the night y.
the crime.
Dueber s. Gable, the well-to,do
contractor husband of the slain
woman and Miss Theresa Ludwig,
As, his divorcee sweetheart, re-
manned in custody and were to be
subjected to further questioning.
Although authorities have OBJ
tained full details of a seven.year
romance between the two, they ad-
mitted they have learned nothing
contributing to solution of the
murder, and Detective Captain
Elmer E. Clark, said Cable and
Miss Ludwig would probably be
released in a few days.
The two are being held on tech
nical charges, the woman on sus.
picion and Gable for investigation
Clark dismissed as insignificant
his withdrawal of an affidavit he
had filed against Gable, which
contained the written-in statement
that Gable was suspected of be
ing implicated in the murder OF
his wife" This was filed only to
insure cables submission to ques-
tioning and was withdrawn when
he voluntarily accompanied Off
GERS, Clark said.
Chief obstacle to progress in the
investigation is absence of the
murder weapon. Authorities were
considering launching an intensive
search throughout wooded sections
and along lonely roads in the en-
tire Stark county area. The gun
used was believed to be a .41O

NAz| WAR NEAR
SAYS REFUGEE

An investigation of Nazi activi-
ties in the United States would
disclose a campaign of espionage,
propaganda and terrorism by Hit
Ter sgents, operating under orders
from Berlin, fomer Socialist
Democrat member of the Reich
stag declared here today.
George H. Seger, a German
refugee and candidate for Ameri-
can citizenship, who served from
1923 to 1923 as secretary-general

member of the Reichstag, was
Hitler'S accuser.
Shows Parallel
The one-time leader of German
peace forces, now the editor of a
German-American newspaper in
New York, drew a parallel be-
tween the program of the i'm
perial German government during
the days preceding Americas
entry into the World War and the
spread of spying and propaganda
networks over the United States
at present.
Germany is headed for an.
other war. Hitler has defin-
iteIy in mind the annexation of
CZechOslOvakia. There are about
three million Germans in north
ern CzechOslOvakia. Hitler ex-
poets to use these to bring this
territory under German control.
"The whole purpose of the
Nazi program in the United
States is to rebuild her sources
of information concerning this
cOuntry's industrial activities
and business secrets, and to en-
list American opinion on the
side Of Germany when the time
comes for action.
GOehring to Continue
"Tf Hitler should die, this pro-
gram would be carried on by
Goehring. Germany is COM
mitted to Nazi-ism, which is
nothing but control Of the cOun-
try by the big industrialists,
operating through military
dictatorship. 1t can only be
Overthrown by disintegratiOn
