Buchanan Breakfasts
Moral Rearmament Plea

Moral rearmament to produce
~new men, new nations, a new
world" was the theme of a broad
cast from London by Dr. Frank N.
D. Buchanan, American-born foun-
der and leader of the oxford Group
movement, yesterday. The address
was heard in Washington through
station VOL.
The world, DR.. Buchanan said, "is
fighting the greatest war in history
not nation against nation, but chaos
against God. Only a great spiritual
experience on the part Of national
leaders of every party, class and
creed, will ever make any world con-
ference or league Of nations a work.
able basis for bringing peace. Such
efforts must be God directed. There
Is no alternative. All other hopes
and theories of reforming Geneva
are vain delusions. World confer
ences, whether economic or disarma-
ment, on any other basis are fore
doomed to failure"
The oxford Group leader insisted
that the place to stop war is "in the
home"
"Is your home government by a
democracy or a dictatorship?" he
asked. "All too many ardent advo-
Gates Of democracy reserve for them
selves to be dictators in their own
homes. Selfish in the home, they
have no constructive program for
selfish world. Countless families
everywhere, who want peace IN the
world, are waging q private war Of
their own, and 50 are robbing their
countries Of united effort"

Irwin Sentenced to 739 Years
In New York Triple KiIIinq

he shouted at Judge Wallace. IT say
you do not. You represent a rich
mans justice"
When the court clerk asked Irwin
the routine question of whether he
had anything to say the defendant
grasped the rail and leaned forward.
Your honor" he said, Ordinarily
this business Of asking man if he
wants to say something before SEN
tence is mere formality. I am not
guilty of a wilfull aggression against
society,""
You pleaded guilty to murder in
the second degree" interrupted
Judge Wallace. You admitted kill
ing three persons, and I won't permit
you to make any oration"
The court remarked on pronounc-
ing sentence that Irwins guilty plea
was consented to by the district
attorney and accepted by the court
for the reason that there was a
question of whether he was of sufl-
cient mentality to be responsible
for these acts.
"The defendants counsel offered
this plea to make sure this man
would not be executed" he said.
THE State lost nothing by accept
ing this plea other than the execu-
ton of this defendant. This plea
insured the Incarceration of this
defendant for the rest of his nat
ural life, and that is the sentence
of this court"
Irwin was sentenced to q mini
mum of SO years and a maximum
of "the rest of your natural life"
for the Staying of Frank Brynes.
He was sentenced to a minimum
Of 20 years each for the Staying
Of Veronica "Ronnie" Gedeon and
the models mother, Mary.
These sentences are to be con-
secutive and not to run concur
rently to assure your incarceration
for the rest Of your natural lile,'
the court said.

By Gunmen in Effort

In Move to EIude
Michigan Police
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PAW PAW, Mich, Nov. 28.-Two
Michigan men were abducted to-
day by gunmen fighting their way
across the southern part of the
State in an attempt to elude a
Gordon of State police and sheriffs'
officers.
Those seized by the gunner were
Henry Matty. Vicksburg farmer,
and Claude Mennis, gas station
attendant. employed near Vicksburg.
Both men presumably were alb
Quoted to cover up the trail of the
gunner as they switched automo-
biles, refueled and sped on their
way.
At least one OF the fugitives was
believed wounded.
The chase began shortly after
midnight when a State police cruiser
crew spotted at Mottville, Mich, near
the Indiana line. q car for which
they had been watching. Instead Of
obeying an order to halt, the occu-
pants Of the car opened fire on the
police. Trooper Carlos Hurley re-
turned the dre.
A shot from a rifle disabled the
motor Of the State police car and
put 1t out Of the chase.
The fugitives were next heard
from when Mr.. Matty was abducted,
his car taken and the original car
abandoned.
An examination of the original car
disclosed blood.
1t was believed the fugitives num-
bered three, one of them possibly a
woman.
Shortly after Mr. Matty was seized
1t was reported that strangers had
stopped for gas at the station at
tended by Mr.. Mennis and that he
was missing.
The only possible clue to the
identity Of the persons sought. was
that Benny Dickson, q, wanted for
felonious assault, was headed into
Michigan from Topeka, Kans. It
was in acting on that tip that
Trooper Hurley and his companion
first attempted to stop a car and
was answered with q rattle of gum

Roosevelt Will See
ENJOYS Again Today
On 0n0ppression Abroad
Four-Hour Conference
In Georgia Recessed
For Sleep
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
WARM SPRINGS, Ca, Nov. 28.-
President Roosevelt held his AM
bassadors to Germany and Italy
here today for further discussions
of the problems of oppressed racial
and religious minorities abroad.
After four hour dinner confer
ence at his isolated Pine Mountain
cottage last night, he sent them to
bed with instructions to come back
to luncheon today to resume the in
terchange of views.
The conferences are expected to
crystalline the developing American
policy which thus far has embraced
condemnation of prosecutions of
Jews, Catholics and Protestants in
Europe, efforts to protect American
citizens and property, and co-opera-
ton with other democracies to find
foreign refugees for the mistreated.
The Ambassador to Germany,
Hugh r. Wilson, who was summoned
home from Berlin at the height of
anti-Jewish violence following the
murder of a German diplomat in
Paris, and the envoy to Rome, Will
liam Phillips. who is home on leave,
said they had a most enjoyable
meeting with the President last
night.
Refuse to Talk.
Beyond that they refused to talk
for publication as they left the
Little White House" in the frigid
atmosphere to be overnight guests
Of Will Moore of New York, veteran
infantile patient at the Warm
Springs Foundation.
First plans were to put them up
for the night at the little guest cot
tage beside the Roosevelt vacation
retreat. but it was decided the log
fires there were inadequate protec-
ton against the cold night.
Their first meeting with the Chief
Executive was held in a pine-pan-
eled combination dining and living
room before a blazing fire of pine
logs.
Before the conference, however,
officials repeated that Mr.. Roosevelt
was not only concerned with meas
ures against Jews in Germany, but
was just as anxious over the fate of
other minorities there and else
where.
1t was generally believed, there
fore, that this and the progress of
efforts to find havens for minori-
ties fleeing from oppressive tactics
were touched on.
The President already has stated
he will give six-month extensions
for approximately $4,000 persons
from Germany and former Austria
in this country on visitors permits
as a measure Of protection against
possible mistreatment should they
be forced to return to Europe by De-
cember 81.
He has said repeatedly, though,
that he will not let down the immi-
grafton bars for Jews or others over
and above the immigration quotas.
Besides his second conference to-
day on the acute foreign situation
the President planned to see Jesse
H. Jones, chairman Of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp, and Gov
Carl E. Bailey of Arkansas. The
purposes of their calls were not an
nounced.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28-Robert
Irwin, eccentric young sculptor, who
pleaded guilty to the 1887 Easter
morning triple-slaying of Veron-
lea Gedeon, attractive model her
mother, and Frank Brynes, a
boarder. was sentenced to 139 years
in States prison today by Judge
James G. Wallace He will be taken
to Sing Sing Prison later in the
day.
Trial Of Irwin, specifically for the
murder of Brynes, was interrupted
by Irwin's guilty plea before the
jury was completed. He pleaded
guilty to second-degree murder. Ir-
wins lawyer, Samuel Iiebowitz in
offering the plea, told the court the
sculptor was "crazy as a bedbug."
Four husky attendants surrounded
Irwin as he was led into the court
room today. Standing before the
bar, he made = futile plea to be
heard before sentence was pro-
nounced.
This asking a prisoner whether
he has anything to say before SEN
tence is just farce" cried Irwin.

Sanctions Against Reich
In Debt Failure Doubted

Doubt was cast in authoritative
quarters today on the possibility
of American financial sanctions
against Germany developing from
the Reichs failure thus far to as
sumo debts of the former Austrian
government held in this country.
Some students of diplomatic
affairs believed an implied threat of
retaliation was contained in AM
bassador Hugh Wilson's note de-
livered to the German foreign office
October 10, in which Germany was
reminded that the United States
puts no restrictions on money going
to Germany.
my Government takes this oc-
casion," this note said, Ito call at
tention to the fact that it permits
payments of every variety TO be
made from its territories to residents
Of Germany without hindrance or
impediment, including payments on
obligations held by German citizens"
In authoritative circles, however,
this declaration was viewed as q
suggestion of fair dealing rather
than an implied threat that the
United States might stop the flow
of dollars to Germany.
Such a stoppage. if generally ap-
piled, would have far-reaching ef-
fects. It would be hard to admin
lister because of the many possibil-
tiles of evasion in any effort to apply
such sanctions against a single
country.
It would work much hardship
upon numerous individuals both
here and in Germany, including
some German Jews who now rely
largely upon money sent them by
relatives or friends in this country.
The Austrian debt question, though
still unsettled, has not yet reached
a deadlock through point blank Ger
man refusal to pay. Germany in its
note of November II left the door
open for recognition Of responsible
ity for the obligations. This led the
United States in its reply to ex-
press hope of early German action.

100,000CiviIianPi Pilots
For Air Defense
Proposed by Officials
125,000 Mechanics Also
Would Be Troined at
Government Expense
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28.--A plan for
training 100000 civilian pilots and
125, 900 mechanics at Government
expense during the next five years
to buttress the national air defense
has been agreed upon by the Army
Air Corps and the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority.
1t must hurdle the scrutiny of
President Roosevelt, to whom the
scheme Is scheduled to be presented
late this week, and obtain the ap-
proval of the new Congress meet
ing in January before it could be-
come effective.
On Par With Germany.
Intended as part Of the air rearm.
ament program under contempla-
ton by the administration, it would
give the United States an air force
reserve numerically approximating
that which Germany is reliably re-
ported to have at the present time.
Louis johnson, Assistant Secretary
OF War, already has mentioned the
figure of 10000 airplanes as a likely
goal toward which the Army will
build in the equipment aspect Of
the air rearmament program. A
force of 5000 planes for the Navy
was authorized by the last Con-
gress.
AS worked out by the Army and
the c. A. A., the civilian training
program would be carried out at the
rate of 10000 pilots and 25,000 me-
chanics year at approved CONNER
cial schools, with the Government
footing the entire bill
The more promising graduates
would be offered the opportunity Of
continuing their notwithstanding
to pilot faster and larger Air Corps
planes, instrument flying and the
finer points Of engine and airplane
upkeep-as special class of Reserv-
lists on active duty.
$4,000 Hold Student Licenses.
Some $4,000 persons hold STU
dent" flying licenses now. About
5000 mechanics are enrolled in COM
mercial schools. The two groups
would be culled over to obtain
nucleus for the proposed civilian air
corps.
In an address at Cleveland last
winter Maj. Gen. Frank M. Andrews,
chief of the General Headquarters
Air Force, said an acute need for
more pilots existed.
Among the directors of CONNER
cial schools who were called into
consultation at Washington last
week on the Army-C. A. A. plan were
those from the Boeing School Of
Aeronautics, Oakland, Calf; the
Casey Jones School of Aeronautics,
Newark, N. j.. and the Curtiss.
Wright Technical Institute. Glen
