ROME, Aug. 23-Italy speeded up
her military preparations today,
while Fascist newspapers exulted
over the projected Soviet
Russian non-aggression pact as
marking "the collapse Of British
French encirclement."

German decision a major victory for
the Rome-Berlin axis, but many
Italians expressed the opinion it
might precipitate war.
At the same time, law was pub

power to requisition merchant YES

Other preparations to make the
nations fighting machine ready for
quick action went ahead.
Some quarters thought the calling
of additional reserves in France

Deportation Was Stayed.
The Russian writer's deportation
was stayed in July at the request
OF the committee, Mr.. Dies said,
after its investigators had inter-
viewed him about Communist Or
CARNATIONS here.
The committee yesterday heard
from Henry D. Allen of Pasadena,
Calf, story of visits with Ger
man and Italian Embassy officials
in Washington in January, 1898.
Mr.. Allen formerly was active in
the Silver Shirts of America and
was one of the sponsors of the
American White Guard, short lived
successor to the Silver Shirts in
Southern California.

said he had spent 40 years in Mex

ganiziatlons he represents was to
fight Jewish Communism, Mr..
Allen testified he had been di-
rected by Mrs. Leslie Fry of Glen
dale, Calf, and financed by Con-
rad Chapman, an Englishman.
The identity of Mrs. Fry and
Chapman, beyond their names, re-
manned somewhat mysterious. Mr..
Chapman, it was said, had left the
country, and Mrs. Fry had not been
seen for some time. Mr.. Allen freely
expressed doubts as to what their
background was.
The witness said he spent five
minutes talking with Giuseppe Co.'S
melli, italian Embassy Counselor
about conditions in Italy, but denied
he had asked for financial aid for
any campaign in this country.
At the German Embassy, he said
he talked at greater length with an
official whose name he could not re-
member. They discussed the work
OF the bund, Mr. Allen related, in
cluding the activities of Herman
Schwinn, West Coast leader of the
organization.
The witness said Mrs. Fry gave
him letter, to be mailed to Ru-
mania, only after ne ascertained
that new Rumanian ambassador
had not yet assumed his post here
He said Mr.. Chapman paid the eight
or 10 Arabs who picketed the Jewish
meeting here 50 day. The meeting,
held last January, was a Palestine

CHARLEY ROSS IS
 NOW IDENTIFIED
Stolen From His Home in Pennsylvania 65 Years
 Ago By Unknown

Phoenix, Ariz., May 9E(UP)- Gustav Blair, 69 year old carpenter, was established by the Maricopa county superior court today to be Charley Ross, who was Kidnapped in Pennsylvania 65 years ago and whom relatives long since had given up as dead. It took a jury of cattlemen and merchants only eight minutes to decide that Blair's claim was valid. Blair asked for nothing ex- cept recognition as member of the Ross family. Defendants in his suit were four other Ross children in Germantown, Pa, who had refused to recognize him as their kin. They were named as Walter L., Sophia, Marian K, and Anne c. Ross.
 The Kidnapping of the four year old Ross child in 1874 stirred the nation and precipitated wide spread search. Years ago E. V. Mill Ter, in whose home Blair was reared, told him that he was the missing member of the Ross family. Blair told friends in Phoenix about it and even attempted to contact members of the Ross family in Germantown, but they said the story could not be true. Miller told Blair that he had been brought to the Miller home by a man whose name Miller did not know. The man identified his youthful companion as the missing Ross child and said that he had been hiding him in cave. Blair told the court in his testimony that he had a faint recollection of living in the cave.
