Other residents in the building
reported hearing a disturbance in
the Morgenstern apartment early
Friday. Police were uncertain
whether he had been assaulted or
had fallen to the floor.
Business associates said that DR..
Morgenstern, who was born in
Frankford on-Main and taught eco
nomics before coming to the United
States, had been depressed recently
since two sisters we're forced to
flee from Germany to Luxembourg.

him out in front as he charges DO

Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
admits that "the attention Of the
American Ambassador was drawn to
certain items"
Mr.. Mander, the best 56-year-old
squash player in Britain, q lawyer
and businessman, has been q good
friend of this country, except in one
instance. In July, 1887, he started q
campaign to have us take over Pal
estine. But, since 1893, he has been
insisting that Great Britain should
pay its debt to this country, interest
and principal. in a lump sum. He
got a bad press on that, and isn't
doing much better as he insists that
the government is shipping our
films.

The Political MiII
Disposed Of Lone Ducks Watched; Appointment
Of lonereon Held Step in HeoIins Party Breach

The Socialist candidate for Senator
received almost 10000 votes and
Senator Lonergan ran $4,000 ahead
Of Gov. Cross, veteran Democratic
Governor who had been for years
considered unbeatable in Connecti-
cut.
1t was an amazing performance
the Connecticut election. And while
1t was known that q huge protest
vote would 60 to the Socialist ticket,
and that such a vote might bring
Democratic defeat, the size Of the
McLevy vote was underestimated
Republican victory was obtained by
a plurality vote Of about SO per
cent, not by = majority.
Press Regrets His Defeat.
Since the election Republican and
Democratic newspapers alike in
Connecticut have expressed regret
at the defeat OF Senator Lonergan-
who has been known for years in
the State as Honest Gus" Loner-
gan. Some Of these editorials have
urged that Senator Lonergan, a law
yer, be appointed to succeed Attorney
General Cummings-also of Con-
necticut-when the latter retires the
first of the year. While it is ex-
ceedingly unlikely that the Presi-
dent would pick an opponent OF his
court bill for a place in his cabinet,
and particularly the attorney gen.
eralship. there seems no reason why
Senator Lonergan should not be
considered for other important posts,
as, for example. membership on the
Federal Reserve Board.
One editorial comment from Con-
necticut, suggesting that Lonergan
be named to Cummings post, said:
"As Connecticut man who is
neither an extreme liberal nor q
marked conservative, he UonerganJ
might we'll succeed another Con-
necticut man of similar type and
standing. Senator Lonergan's popu-
larity in the State was clearly DEM
onstrated by the fact that in the
recent election he led all candidates
Of his party and topped the vote
for the governorship by over $4,000
ballots"

would be the function of the booster
station to pick up signals from the

The proposed booster. 1t is believed,
would provide a better signal

Of the city, as well as in the metro
politan areas of Virginia and Mary
land adjacent to the Capital.

Ter said, it is proposed to have a
number of field cars with instru-
ments for measuring the field in

determine its effectiveness. These
tests, the application said, would
be carried on for . period of from
three months to q year.

Even without such incidents, it was forecast that the course of Ribben- trop'S talks here would be difficult. AS the retiring German ambassador he was made foreign minister in the Nazi shakeup of Feb. 4-Ribben- itrop is here ostensibly to wind up his affairs, but actually to lay the basis for eventual diplomatic negoti- ationS. There were reports today in usually well informed quarters that Ribbentrop had instructions to tell Lord Halifax that Germany was likely before long to try to get the CzechoSlovakian government to grant substantial measure of au- tonomy to the 3.30O,0O0 Germans in Czechoslovakia. The report was that Germany sought to get Great Bri- tain to appease probable French op- position and to ask France to advise CzechoSlovakia that the French gov- ernment would not offer objection. This, it was said, Britain was not prepared to do.
 It was reported also that the deli cate Austrian problem would play a part in the conversations. A fur ther complication was the known determination of Germany to seek colonial territories. It is now un- derstood that Australia and New Zealand have told the British gov ernment that any move to restore to Germany territoey taken frsn her after the World War and put under mandateS-would have seri- ous repercussions in the empire.
