AMERICAS CUP

Southampton, April 2l.-(UP)-- T. o. M. Sopwith, who twice has failed to win the Americas cup with his Endeavour yachts, predicts to- day it would be many years before Great Britain would challenge again.

Jackie Coogan Stops His MotherF From Being EUicted

Wilson announced that he would open hearings tomorrow in the case of Coogan vs. Bernstein.
 Jackie's suit charges, in effect, that he sacrificed his boyhood to earn $4,0O0,0 ,0O0-and that when at last he put on long trousers but no longer was a movie star, his mother and stepfather said they intended to keep all his money, his two Rolls Royces and the mansion his earn- ings bought. Judge Wilson has be- fore him a confusing set of affida- wits, dispositions, and demurrers from Jackie, his mother and her husband. Jackie seeks 100000. Mrs. Bernstein insists he never earned that much, and that besides he has been such a bad boy" that she intends to give him nothing. She bases her claim on the California law, which says specifically that the earnings of a minor belong to his parents. Her position seemed almost impregnable until Jackie produced two old court documents indicating that at one time his parents had arranged to keep in trust for him one half of his screen earnings.
 "His mother simultaneously en- tered demurrer asking the ques- tion: What consideration, if any did plaintiff ever render to his fath- CT or mother for their alleged prom ises?" Mrs. Bernstein also asked the court for permission to change her sworn testimony of last Monday in which she cried hysterically that her son was such bad boy she felt she owed him nothing. Her attor- neys said her memory since had been refreshed. They would not re- veal the nature of her new state ment.

 This attitude was revealed as or ders and inquiries from foreign gov- ernments for military planes piled up in quantities far beyond the ca pacity of manufacturing plants. More than a thousand military planes are now on order or inquiries have been received for them from foreign governments, it was stated And more are on their way. It is the result of the belief of military officials here and abroad that the United States is now building the best planes in the world.

London Friends of We'll Known Ambassador Fear
 For His Safety
REPORTED HE WAS
 PUT "IN DISGRACE"
His Secretary Believed to Have Been Executed
 For Treason

London, April 21. = UP) The News Chronicle, organ of the Liberal party, asserted today that friends in London of Baron Franz Won Papen,, until recently German spe- cial ambassador to Austria, were anxious regarding his safety. German officials were silent regarding Papen's whereabouts, the N e W s Chronicle said. It added that it understood authoritatively he was "in disgrace" after under going questioning by the Nazi secret police as to activities of his secre- tary in Vienna, Baron Won Ketteler. The Chronicle said that it was re- ported that Ketteler disappeared March 13, the day after Adolf Hit ler's entrance into Austria, and that he had been executed on trea- son charges.
 Remarkable Career
 Baron Von Papen has had re- markable career during the last few years. The closest confidant of the late President Paul Won Hinden- burg, he was made chancellor in 1882. In that capacity he prepared the way for the Nazi accession to power, though not himself Nazi. He was succeeded in November, 1882, by Gen. Kurt Won Schleicher. Then Papen recommended Adolf Hitler as chancellor and became vice chancellor in the Nazi coali- tion cabinet which Hitler formed January 30, 1883.

 Another phase of the case is now pending before the supreme court It involves a legal question which arose when Compensation Commis- Sioner James M. Lynch awarded Stulginski compensation for his claim against the Waterbury Rolling Mills, Inc.
 Injured in Fight
 Stulginski was injured in a fight with Cizauskas, which took place during working hours at the plant of the Waterbury Rolling Mills, where both are employed. In addi- tion to filing his compensation claim against the employer, Stul- ginski also filed civil action against his attacker. In both claims he was granted awards, but the com question has not as yet been decided by the supreme court, to which it was carried from su- perior court decision upholding Commissioner Lynch.
 Com. Lynch Ruling
 The commissioner held that the injury sustained by Stulginski was even though it was caused by a fight with another em- ploye. Insurers for the company claim that no compensation should be paid because of such circum- stances. The decision of the, su- preme court on the question will un- doubtedly establish new law for cases. It is expected
