Upton Sinclair AssuiIs
Ham and Eggs Plan
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 21-Upton
Sinclair. Socialist writer and DEM
ocratic nominee for Governor of
California in 1884, emphatically
condemned the ham and eggs"
pension plan last night.
In the manuscript of a radio
speech Mr.. Sinclair called the plan
a "menacing Illusion" He expressed
belief that if the voters adopt it
November 7 it will bring chaos
and suffering to our State and set
back the movement for economic
security for many years."
The plan calls for payments of
$50 in warrants every Thursday to
qualified persons over so.
In his race for Governor, Mr..
Sinclair proposed a State pension
Of $50 a month for persons so and
over. He recalled this, but said
he knew of no way it could be paid
except through operation of a State
system of production-for- tor the
unemployed. Such system was
the main plank In his platform.

Repeal Would Keep
U. ). Out Of War,
Dr.. Eddy Declares
Addresses Dinner Meeting
Of Independent
Legislative Bureau

DR.. Sherwood Eddy, author and
lecturer, last night told more than q
score Of Senators and Representa-.
tives holding views on both sides
Of the neutrality question, Supreme
Court justices, members of the dip
lomatic corps and other high ranking
Government officials that the arms
embargo must be lifted to keep the
United States out of the European
war.
At dinner meeting of the 1nde-
pendent Legislative Bureau at the :
Cosmos Club. DR.. Eddy reasoned that
If this countrys arms and munitions
sources are not thrown open to the
allied pewors, France and England
will reach such a point of despera-
ton that the United States fighting
forces will be pushed by public
opinion to go to their aid as they
were in the last World War.
I'm my opinion" DR.. Eddy de-
clared at another point in his in
formal talk, "the present war would
have been prevented had England
been more firm during the Munich
crisis. Germany at that time was
not prepared to resist a determined
effort to maintain peace"
DR.. Eddy said the refusal Of
Britain to accept Soviet Russia's
offer of cooperation during the
Munich conferences did much to
precipitate subsequent armed con-
flict.
Col. Vladimir Hurban, Minister Of
dismembered Czecho- -Slovakia, said
system of collective security must
be incorporated throughout the
world if present active strife and
armed conflict between nations is
to be put down.
Other participants in the meeting
included Supreme Court Justices
Black and Douglas, Senators Norris
of Nebraska, Mead of New York,
Minton of Indiana. Murray of Mon
tana, Green of Rhode Island, Hill
OF Alabama, Frazier of North Da-
kota and Lundeen of Minnesota; IS
members of the House, DR.. Louis
Quintanilla, Counselor of the Mexi-
can Embassy; several high-ranking
Navy officers and staff members of
the British Embassy and Canadian
Legation.
The session was one of a series
OF informal gatherings sponsored
for several years by the Independ.
ent Legislative Bureau, headed by
Richard w. Hogue. Mr.. Hogue

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-Countess
Barbara Hutton Mdivani Haugwitz-
Reventlow, heireSS to sand -l0-cent
store millions, arrived on the Italian
liner Cont di Savoia today in an
amiable mood and willing to discuss
almost everything but her personal
affairs. Then she was aloof and
silent.
No, she would not comment on re-
ports she was going to seek quick
divorce in Florida or Reno from her
Danish husband, Count Kurt Haug-
witz-Reventlow.
No, she would say nothing about
the report she was going to seek
repatriation. (She renounced her
citizenship couple of years ago to
become a Danish ciitzen)
No, she would say nothing about
that other report that she was going
to marry Robert Sweeney, 28-year-
old American amateur golfer and
investment broker, who lives in Lon
don.
Sweeney Dodges Reporters.
AS for Mr.. Sweeny, who was n
passenger on the ship, he simply
lodged reporters, hurried off the
ship and, leaving luggage to be
cleared, dashed for the pier.
The countess brought with her
her son, Lance, who is three and
half years old The countess said
she rejoined the child in Biarritz
where he had spent the summer
with his father, the count, under
their separation agreement
Of course she knew Mr.. Sweeney,
the countess said She had known
him for several years, and he had
come here merely for his annual
business trip.
Union employees of some of the
Woolworth stores, founded by her
grandfather. were having a little
demonstration outside the pier when
the ship docked. A handful of men
and women were carrying placards:
"Babs fees Europe, seeks peace
How about peace with the union!"
Says Stock Is Small.
The countess made a wry face
when she heard of this.
1T always happens to me-" she
said and there was a sardonic
quality in her tones. welcome
home! I don't think"
After a moment of sympathetic
nodding she said the notion that
she owned enough stock in the
company to control the manage
ment and dictate policy was er-
roneous
Il own a few shares of stock, no
more than thousands of others own"
she said
Then she took occasion to deny
she mad transferred her holdings
to Europe.

the rest of U.s." Luttrel said, "and
went over to the rail on the after
part and starboard side of deck A..
He was gazing out at the waves
when the big one hit us and washed
over the deck.
I'VE all managed to grab hold of
something except poor Johnson
| When we collected ourselves and
crawled back into the lounge room
johnson was missing"
Capt. Roberts said that as soon as
the seriousness of the storm became
apparent the officers instructed the
passengers to sit in the companion
ways for safety.
There was no panic. They did
remarkably well for people unaccus-
toned to the sea."

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC. Oct. 21.-Press reaction to
United States Ambassador Joseph
c. Crews assertion that American
public opinion sharply opposes ia
pans military program in China
ranged today from surprise to irri-
tation
Commenting on the speech which
Mr.. Grew delivered before the Amer
ica-Japan Society Thursday, the
newspaper Miyako said:
Whatever the opinion of Ameri-
ca, construction of a new order in
East Asia is Japan's highest mission.
The Ambassadors speech should be
appreciated, but not feared"
Kokumin said it was quite natu-
raj that the speech should have
proved thunderbolt in some quar-
ters," but added that 1T is silly to be
frightened because American public
opinion Is taking a turn for the
worse"
Undeterred by Interference"
Foreign Minister Kichisaburo No.
mura said last night in an interview
at Odawara that determination of
the Japanese nation to bring about a
new order In East Asia is too strong
to be changed or affected by inter-
ference of a third power"
Nomura said he was glad to hear
the Ambassador had said he would
work for American-Japanese good
will and planned to have a talk
with Mr.. Grew"
I'VE are engaged in the recon-
struction of East Asia from a broad
viewpoint, and we hope the United
States understands both our aim and
our determination" Nomura de-
clared.
New Order mot Exclusive"
Such a new order in East Asia
as We advocate is not exclusive or
uniiberal as some third powers sus-
pect. What we are aiming at is the
creation of an East Asia which can
contribute effectively to the peace
and progress of the world"
The foreign minister declared that
Japan shares the American hope
and desire to remain free of the
European conflict.
America and Japan should CO.
operate in defending the peace OF

to maintain peace in their respective

Wagner Predicts Backing
For His Refugee Plan
BY the Associated Press.


Senator Wagner, Democrat. Of
New York proposing the admission OF
10000 German refugee children
this year and next. said yesterday it
would constitute our most immedi-
ate and practical contribution to the
cause of human freedom.
The New York Senator predicted
a prompt and Whoiehearted re-
sponse throughout the country" to
legislation he introduced to amend
immigration laws and allow entry Of
that number of German refugees
not more than IA years old
Such action by the United States
would follow the precedent of Eng
land and Holland, which have given
sanctuary to many of these unfor-
tunate victims of persecution" Sem
ator Wagner said in statement. He
added:
The admission of limited num-
ber of these children into the United
States would release them from the
prospect of life without hope and
without recourse, and enable them
to grow up in an environment where
the human spirit may survive and
prosper
His resolution would not suspend
existing quota restrictions on the
