 side Russia Itself

Berlin, May 13. (UP)-Radio ex- pertS believed today that mysteri- 0lts wireless station which for weeks has been broadcasting death threats against Josef Stain probably was operated from inside Russia at some point near the Baltic States on it's western frontier.
 "Your days are numbered! Your murders are about to take your own headi" and Giniiar threats have been broadcast persistently by the station.
 Listeners throughout Germany and the Baltic states have tried to calculate the exact position of the station but have failed, as have operatives of the Russian secret police who, according to reports here, have had dozen radio finder" cars patrolling the roads for weeks trying to get cross bear ings on the tranSmitter.
 The transmitter was silent for several days recently and Baltic amateurs believed that Russian poe ANC AhASAAv AldtC CduBliI AtS CIcW.
 Resumes Activities
 But 1t resumed activity Tuesday night, announcing that one of the secret opposition groups had been arrested in Moscow May l and add ing:
 We will keep the Soviet Union informed of their fate in the secret police prisons. Russian citizens, none of our comrades will turn traitor. No one will break his oath. Their trial will be new evidence of Stalins cowardice. But they may turn the court room into 8 trial of Stalins tactics"
 The secret station asserts that since 1t first began sending warn- ings such as "Stalin: Justice is about to overtake you," and urging the red army to turn your guns on the reviewing stand before the Kremlin when you march past" re- cruits have been enrolling steadily in opposition ranks. Listeners throughout northeastern Europe have been following the broadcasts.

Stock in Texas oil fields, and his trip to that state undoubtedly was ill connection with these holdings.
 There is rumor that MT. Leary has been in communication with To- cal individuals, but no verifcation can be obtained. Popular belief is that MT. Leary does not care to be questioned by the jury, but will sur render in the event his arrest is sought by MT. Acorn. In this man. ner he will escape answering any questions other than those which are asked in open court, in the presence of his own counsel, as well as the prosecuting attorney.
 Quiet Before storm
 At no time since the probe opened has there been such lull in pro- ceedings. And yet, that lull precipi- tates greater tensity in the court house atmosphere that has been prevalent at any. time. This is ab- solutely the first time that the jury has held complete session without the presence of at least one witness.
 During the past three days, the fact that the jury has held numer- ous and lengthy deliberation periods, brought about the expectation that the end was in sight. Today,s de- velopments Cor lack of develop ments) practically verify those ex- pectations. MT. Alcorn has. not chosen to comment on the situation, however, and has avoided all ques- tioning on the subject of "delibera- tionS."
 Delved Into All Angles
 Since the probe opened 10 weeks ago, the jury has delved into a va riety of angles, piecing together a picture which when completed will undoubtedly result in numerous ar- rests. Lobbying, missing records, over-expenditures, large legal fees, excessive contract fees, fire depart ment and police department records, city hall departments, assessment sheets.-all have come under the probing eyes of the IS jurors and the Alcorn stiff.
 Whether the result of the probe will be as drastic as expected or be- yond expectations is still major problem. There have been absolute ly no leaks ill the air-tight secrecy plan which was placed into effect from the beginning of the probe.
 End of 10th Week
 Today's session marked the com- pletion of the 10th week. There is definite grounds for the belief that before the 11th week is completed the jury will show the public some results for efforts expended.
 There has been much comment with regard to the possibility that if the jury reports next week-they might recess for several weeks, such as the Bridgeport Merritt Parkway jury did-and then come back to re- sume probings on new angles. The Bridgeport jury adjourned after re-

 dolfo. The fact that tomorrow is one of the audience days seemed the basis for the suggestion that he might speak then.
 Pope Plus has shown plainly his displeasure at the failure of Adolf Hitler to make the traditional visit to the Vatican during his stay at Rome as the guest of Mussolini. It is regarded as 8 matter of mere courtesy that visiting sovereign whatever their religions, shall visit the Pope. Also it is customary for the visitors to make the approach.
 Roman Catholic authorities hoped to the last that Hitler would visit the Pope, and it was believed cer- tain that Mussolini himself, whose relations with the church are friendly, urged the Nazi leaders that Hitler ought to make the visit. The Pope showed his displeasure at Hitler's failure to ask an audi ence in several ways. He left the Vatican for Castel Gandolfo two days before Hitler's arrival in Rome because Hitler had not asked to see him. He publicly condemned the display of German NaM swas- tika banners in Rome and he closed the Vatican museum for the dura- tion of Hitler's stay. It was re- opened few hours after he left and when party of Germans wear ing swastika badges sought admit tance they were barred.
 Saddened By Hitler
 Vatican prelateS say freely that the Pope was greatly Saddened" at Hitler's failure to make any gesture that might have improved Vatican Nazi relations. They insist that at least he might have requested an audience of the Pope and thus pleased millions of Catholics in Germany and Austria. They en- phasized that it was the custom for all rulers to visit the Pope when they visit Rome.
 Hitler's failure to make the visit was all the more displeasing because it reduced the chances that the Vatican might ever reach an agree ment with Germany to remove some restrictions imposed on Catholics. The Pope, it was said today, ar- dently desired to prevent Germany from going the way of Russia, Spain and Mexico and that this desire im- pelled him to make a decision to unburden his heart on the German problem before long.

ment by Ford officials and rejected. A Ford official said then:
 If we would guarantee an an- nua] Wage," he asked, "who would guarantee us an annual produc- tion?"
 Ford's philosophy on a workers earning power was revealed in 8 recent statement in which he said that America has not seen real wages yet. os
 After inaugurating 8 $5 scale in 1914, Ford boosted the minimum to $6 a day in 1919, and in 1929, when tn enation began slipping into de- pression, he raised the basic daily wage to $7, which he continued un- til 1881 when he reduced the daily wage to $4. The basic or minimum scale was raised to $5 in 1884 and in 1886 it was increased to $6, its pres- ent status.
 A company spokesman said the average wage now paid to Ford workers is 91 cents an hour, or $7.28 for each eight-hour working day.

 No Room In Court
 President Healey pointed out to the association the lack of Suffi- cient rooms and space in the pres ent building. He stated that there should be more court rooms, several conference rooms (of which there are none at present. and a press room. The question was later brought up as to what procedure would be taken for space when the women jurors started hearing cases in the Waterbury court. Tn order that the facilities might be bet tered, however, legislation will have to be enacted.

One reason for British determina- ton to force peaceful settlement ot Europe's quarrels was that the China severe reverses for the Japanese in- vaders, the Tokio government maSsedl men, warships, airplanes and munitions for an unprecedented offensive.
 Powerful Japanese armies were wrecking defense lines in north China where the Chinese had con- centrated hundreds of thousands of troops along the important Lung Hai railroad. Japanese claimed the road would be cut within 24 hours. Casualties were tremendous.
 Japan Picks Moment
 Japanese naval and air forces along the south China coast gave strong indications that the long, delayed offensive in that area - where Britain has huge interests was about to open. It has been the Japanese technique to strike in China when world powers with economic interests there have been busily occupied in Europe.
 The port of Annoy already has been seized by Japan but it was be- lieved that Foochow also owuld be the goal of the warships concentrat- ed of the coast if Japan decides to try to cut Chinas main supply ar- tery in the Canton region.

 ment putting up 75 cents for every % cents provided by the states was rejected 106 to 39. Bacon's plan would have retained the $1,25O ,O0O,- = 900 appropriation figure requested by the President to continue relief until February l. 1899, but in decentraliz- ing administration it would have Junked Harry Hopkins Works Prog ress Administration.
 Another amendment by Bacon to prevent spending money for public works projects competing with pri- vate business was defeated by a voice vote. It was aimed primarily at the PWA policy of making grants and loans to municipalities for power plants that would compete with private utilities. PWA has pending applications for $44,000, 900 of such projects.
 Another COP. Block Smashed The House similarly shouted down an amendment by Representative John Taber, Republican, New York, to eliminate the $965 100000 PWA appropriation entirely, together with the authorization for contin- uance of its $500,O00 900 revolving fund.
 Representative William B. Um- stead, Democrat, N. C., led an almost-successful fight to eliminate provision of the bill designed to aid states and municipalities barred by statutory debt limitation, already exhausted, from participating in the PWA loan and grant program.
 The provision would permit such cities to make lease-purchase agree ments to repay the PWA for 55 per cent of the cost of the project with interest.
 Umstead attacked the provision as an attempt to induce and se- duce" the states and cities into vio- lating constitutional limitations, but the House approved it, 90 to 86. There were only two amendments, in addition to the one on the R. E. A., written into the bill by the House. Both were minor.
 There was short prevue of the impending wages and hours fight when various southern Democrats offered amendments to eliminate differentials between various parts of the country in relief wages. They were voted down on every effort.

 request of the board of education that the welfare department appro- priation $22,000 to continue employ ment for no persons now engaged in WPA projects in connection with the schools. The school department submitted the request at a meeting last month and, at that time, it was estimated cost of 110 persons if thrown back on relief rolls would about approximate the amount of the appropriation. The $22,000 is adequate to pay the city's share in the projects for the rest of the year.
 While Commissioner John H. Goss at the last meeting of the board of finance remarked that he was not sure WPA funds had benefited the city, it is expected several of the commissioners will favor seeking federal money if the city can find enough to pay its share of cost for the materials. The ratio of federal money to city is about four-to-one and the WPA pays the wages of all labor.
 Recent Wage Cut
 The board meetings today are seen as part of the consideration at the finance commissions executive ses- sion last week, one result being the recent 10 per cent wage cut of city employees to replenish welfare de- partment funds. Problem of welfare department expenditures running ahead of the appropriations ratio has been subject of general argu- ment for the past month with coin- plaints by Controller Sherwood l.. Rowland about the increased costs caused by the business slump and demands for laying a special tax by couple of groups.
 The latter phase may be discussed today and the proposition of a spe- cial tax, which would result in in- creased rents by landlords to under write further assessment on their properties, is expected to be quash- ed as impractical. Should living costs be increased to meet added tax costs, the welfare department would be in the position of having to pay out approximately more from added appropriations.

(Continued from Page D generally, and it was thought that he might have preached it with Ford, who in 1914 startled the indus trial world by raising wages from $2,37 to basic minimum of $5 a day.
 Plan Not Feasible
 The company spokesman told the United Press today however that Ford considered the plan neither feasible for his vast River Rouge plant nor for the industry as a whole, and that he regarded the en- tire theory of annual wages as "im- practical and illogical"
 A month ago, Governor Frank Murphy, a close ally of the admins tration, publicly called upon Ford to establish an annual minimum wage. The manufacturer declined com- ment on the proposal at the time. and Murphy has not referred to it since. There were indications, how ever, that Murphy's appeal to Ford to pioneer the movement was made on request from Washington.
 A few dave before Ford visited Washington two weeks ago, a inde- pendent labor organization of Ford workers made a request to Edsel Ford, president of the company, for $1,500 annual minimum wage. It was the Ford Brotherhood of Amer ica, described by the National Lebor Relations Board as company union which made the proposal after con- ferring with Ford counsel.
 Request Eejected
 The Brotherhood proposed that each worker would buy Ford car every two years as part of the plan.
 The United Press learned that the request was taken under advise-
