by President Roosevelt as Ambas-
sador to the Soviet Union, it was
learned from reliable source here
today.
simultaneously it was announced
by the State Department that
Claude G.. Bowers, Ambassador to
Spain, had been summoned home
for consultation and was already
en- route aboard the Queen Mary.
The State Department declined
comment on the Steinhardt appoint
ment pending dispatch by the Presi-
dent of the nomination to the Sem
ate for confirmation.
Mr. Steinhardt will fill a vacancy
in the Moscow post that has existed
since last May when Ambassador
Joseph E. Davies was transferred to
Belgium after serving about 10
months in Russia.
Active at Lima Meeting.
Mr.. Steinhardt, who is As years
old. Is native of New York City
and World War veteran. He en-
tered Government service as an as
sociate counsel of the War Depart
ment in 1889 and later engaged
in the private practice of law for
several years. His first diplomatic
post came when he was appointed
Minister to Sweden by President
Roosevelt on May IL, 1888. He was
transferred to Peru on April o.,
1887, and was active during the re-
cent Pan-American Conference in
Lima.
In connection with the return of
Mr.. Bowers it was assumed Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of
State Hull desire to consult with
him before deciding the United
States action toward recognition
of the Franco government in Spain.
Mr.. Bowers, native of Indiana,

1888, but has had his headquarters

ington inasmuch as the President
left the post vacant for nearly nine
months.
1t was frequently said at the
State Department, however, that
this delay had no special signifi-
canoe in connection with United
States-Soviet relations. Mr.. Stein
hardt will become the third Amer

Yeggs Crack Safe
And Get S1,400
Al Motor Firm
Bottom ChiseIed Out
And Inside Chest
Is Carried Awoy

Safe-crackers obtained loot esti-
mated at $l,400 at the Superior
Motor Co., 1901 Fourteenth street
NV, early today.
The robbery occurred sometime
between midnight and $3.50 am.
today. 1t was discovered when w.
M. Vandavere, salesman, and Joe
Hawkins, colored handyman, ar
rived to open the salesroom this
morning at $50 o'clock.
The safe, about feet by feet,
had been moved from the cashiers
Office to the Office of S. A. Simmons,
president of the company. Using
tools taken from the service shop,
the safe-crackers chiseled out the
bottom of the safe and removed and
carried away an inside chest.
Contained About $1,4O0.
Mr.. Simmons said the chest con-
tanned all of yesterdays receipts
which he estimated at approximately
81 400.
Police were unable to determine
how the robbers gained an entry.
They had evidently unlocked a rear
entrance used for automobiles to
make their getaway with the chest.
The. Office closed at 10 o'clock last
night. A watchman, making his
rounds, turned off the lights at mid
night. Operating after that time, the
safe-crackers evidently went about
the robbery in leisurely fashion. 1t
was dicovered that they had used
an elevator going from the first
! floor, where the robbery occurred,
to the second floor, where the tools
were obtained from the service shop.
Workers said an automobile left on
the elevator last night had been
pushed of and out of the way.
No Cars Missing.
Although Mr.. Simmons office was
considerably wrecked, nothing else
apparently had been taken but the
safe chest. Mr.. Simmons said that
more than 100 automobiles were in
the building at the time, but pre-
liminary check had shown that none
was missing.
It. John Fowler of the Police De-
partment Immediately began an in
vestigation. Photographs were taken
by the police in the Office where the
safe was cracked and an effort was
made to get flngerprints.
The robbers may have had all
their work for nothing. 1t. Fowler
said they would find it impossible
to open the chest containing the
money. He said if they attempted
to blast it open they would destroy
its contents and that if they at
tempted to open it with an acety-
lene torch the heat likewise would
destroy the money.
Mr.. Simmons said the loss was
covered by insurance.
