Lithuania May Seek

KAUNAS, Lithuania. Oct. 13-
Official spokesmen said today the
Lithuanian government had not vet
decided to press for changes in the
German-Lithuanian pact which gave
Memelland to Germany.
The statement was so phrased
however, as to indicate the govern
ment was considering such a posi-
bility
Dispatches from Riga, Latvia, pub
llshed in Stockholm. said Lithuanis
was unsatisfled with her limited
rights in Memel and now wants
eXtraterritorial rights in Memel
Harbor. The dispatches added she
would have Soviet Russian support
in making such a request. Mcneil
land was taken over by Germany
last March %.
1t was reported also that the
Lithuanian government planned to
open negotiations in Berlin to re-
gain the Suwalki district southeast
OF Memelland on the eastern border
OF East Prussia.
The Suwalki district once belonged
to the Wilno (Vilna) district, but is
now part of Germany. Lithuania
obtained part of Wilno Province
through an agreement reached last
Tuesday with the Soviet govern
ment. The Russians occupied it
last month in their sweep into Po-
land.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-The
Chronicle, in copyrighted story
today, said that four San Quentin
Prison guards had admitted partici-
pating in mass whipping with
1ead-tipped leather straps of Al
, young prisoners who had refused
to take torture" punishment for
their part in a hunger strike last
February and March.
Three members of the State
Prison Board have been asked to
resign. the paper said, but declared
last night they would not quit on
grounds that an investigation had
failed to produce proof of the
alleged beatings.
Nine guards have signed state
ments in connection with the epi-
sode, the paper said, four admitting
taking part in the actual whipping
and the others describing it as eye
witnesses.
The Chronicle said Gov. Culbert
L. Olson plans a clean sweep of
the entire State prison administra-
ton as result of the beatings,
with Warden Court Smith of San
Quentin slated for custer first and
Warden Clyde Plummer of Folsom
Prison next"

The police got a letter today from
the postal employees" of Cham
paign, ILL.,, asking them to look up
their postmaster to make sure he
didn't get robbed of his money

Just in case their worst fears
were realized they sent along an
emergency fund which consisted
of a check for Is cents, another for
800 rubles and money orders for
cents and AZ cents.
The letter said the postmaster

visit to st. Paul sesveral years ago,
and the postal employees wished to
protect him from a similar misfor-
tune.
The police looked up the post
master, A. c. Paris, and found he

tion Of postmasters here. He ap-
parently left none the worse for his

companies maintained identical
tank wagon prices" to service sta
tion operators in their area and
then dictated prices for the pub
lic."

Chairman O'Mahoney, after close
ly questioning both witnesses about

or the Kaw River, or something, -
replied the white haired Hartley.
