Share Of Dodge Millions
Asked in Sons Suit
BY the Associated Press


DETROIT. May 20-John Duval
Dodge, son of the late John F. Dodge,
automobile manufacturer, asked
Wayne County Circuit Court today
to nullify the will of his father,
in which he was cut off with $3.50
a month. and to award him his stat
utory share of the Dodge millions
Counsel for young Dodge, who re-
ceived $1,70O000 in settlement of
previous suit to break the will. esti-
mated statutory share of the estate
would total Sl3000,000 in principal
and interest from the date of his
fathers death.
The suit, contending that the will
violated Michigan law against per-
petuitieS. attacks a provision for
100000 900 trust fund set up for the
benefit of four children-Mrs. Wini-
fred Seyburn. Mrs. Isabel Sloan,
Mrs. Francis johnson and the late
Daniel Dodge. The will provided
that income from the fund be
shared equally by the four during
their lifetime and that the principal
be distributed among their heirs.
The perpetuities statute was de-
signed to prevent person from
exercising direct control over his
estate for too long a period after
death.
John F. Dodge died in 1920. John
Duval Dodge's first suit to break the
will was filed soon after his fathers
death.

'Rommed Earth Home Building
Is Described in Pamphlet
Two Of Buildings of This Type Now
Are in Existence in Capital Area
Maybe you can build a house out

Maybe you can build a house out
OF the earth on your own land.
A pamphlet, resurrected from the
files Of the free publications division
OF the Department of Agriculture,
describes a method of building with
earth which might possibly solve the
low-cost housing problems of Amer
ica's low-income group, especially
farmers.
The method is the "rammed
earth" mode Of building walls OF
buildings so strong that they pro-
vide better protection and insula-
tion than masonry or frame and last
longer.
To give it French twist, the
method is known as 'pise de terre," I"
an ancient type of construction re-
corded from Roman times and prob
ably stretching in use back to earli-
est antiquity.
Two buildings of this type are in
the Washington area today and
both have resisted the wear of time
and the elements with apparent
ease. One is an old home on Rhode
Island avenue near the District line,
and the other the home of DIR. H.
B. Humphrey of the Bureau of Plant
Industry. Agriculture Department,
near Cabin John, Md.
Cost RidiculOusIy Low.
The cost of this method of build
ing, according to the pamphlet, is
ridiculously low compared to other
types, providing man can obtain
the right kind OF earth.
Most ordinary earths are suitable
or may be made so by admixture

Again and again small tradesmen,
workers and housewives give stock

march in there some night when

Persons closer to the government
realize the matter isn't so simple.
While still believing that somehow
the Poles will yield at the last mom-
ent, they nevertheless are conscious
that Germany must be prepared
for struggle if necessary.
CianO's Visit Hailed.
Ciano's visit to sign the German
Italian military alliance is heralded
by Goebbels' newspaper Der Angriff
as the crowning of the axis policy"
Nazis described the alliance-to be
be signed Monday-as forging IAN
unShakable bloc of 150,OCO,O00 peo-
pile from the Baltic to the Mediter-
ranean,' in almost the same words
as used by Premier Mussolini in
speech at Cuneo, Italy.
In addition, Nazis emphasized that
Rome-Berlin aspirations were not
limited to Europe and that Germany
and Italy would support one another
in seeking 'Lebensraum" diving
space.
Germany's demands for return of
her colonies were voiced anew during
the Reich's colonial convention in
Vienna this week and indorsed by
Goebbels' Cologne speech.

Prague Plot 10 Kill
Ex-President Benes
In U. 5. Reported
Purported Plan Was to
Send Assassin From
Europe on Mission
By the Associated Press.

3, the Associated Press.
PARIS, May 20. - Diplomatic
sources reported today plot had
been discovered to send man from
Europe to the United States to
assassinate DR. .Eduard Benes, for
mer president of now-dissolved
Czecho- -Slovakia.
These sources said the scheme
was Matched in German occupied
Prague both to weaken Czech stand
ing in the United States and to
remove an important opponent of
the Nazi regime.
Benes in u. S. Since Feb. II.
DR.. Benes, who resigned as Presi-
dent of the CZecho-Sl republic
after 1t was reduced in size by the
Munich settlement Of last Septem-
ber 20, has been in the United
States since February II.
Those who reported the plot said
that with their information in the
hands of the American police they
believed much danger to the former
President had been averted.
un Chicago, E. B. Hitchcock,
personal aide to DR.. Benes, de-
clined to say whether the former
President had been warned of a
plot to assassinate him, but said
every precaution was being taken
for his protection. BohuS Benes,
nephew of DR.. Benes, said two
young policemen of Czech de-
scent had been assigned by the
Chicago Police Department as a
bodyguard for his uncleD
OSusky Passes on Information.
Stefan Osusky. former Czecho-
Slovak Minister to France, was said
to have turned over to French and
American police information re-
ported to have come to him from
secret agents in Prague.
This information, 1t was said, in
cluded charges that Nazi secret
police in Prague prevented the plot
and that for several weeks Nazi
agents had been seeking a dis
gruntled Czech or Slovak who would
carry out the assassination.
In Prague, responsible Czechs said
they had heard no suggestion that
the German Gestapo-secret police
had been involved in any plot
against DR.. Benes.

New Inquiries Reported
Sent Poland, Rumonio

LONDON, May 20 (P.-Diplo-
matte moves in London and Paris
tonight pointed to probable deci-
sion by the British cabinet next
week in favor Of a definite mutual
aid pact with Soviet Russia.
While Foreign Secretary Viscount
Halifax consulted in Paris on the
British-Soviet negotiations, the
British government was understood
to have sent fresh inquiries to Po-
land and Rumania as to whether
they still objected to such a pact
being concluded with their powerful
neighbor.
With the Soviet Union apparently
standing firm for the agreement and
overwhelming sentiment voiced by
parliamentary circles in favor of
meeting the Russian terms, Prime
Minister Chamberlain was reported
ready to ask the cabinet next week
to approve the step.
Stand Believed Modified.
Diplomatic quarters believed Po-
land and Rumania had modified
their original stand against an al
lance which might force them to
permit passage of Russian troops
across their soil. Both Rumania
and Poland have received British
French guarantees of their indie
pendence
If their replies to the new in
quiries are favorable, as most in
formed observers believed they
would be, one of Mr.. Chamberlain s
chief objections to the pact would
be removed.
An official spokesman said fur
ther conclusive steps in negotiations
probably would await the cabinet
decision. A regular meeting is
scheduled for Wednesday and Lord
Halifax is expected to return by
then from Geneva, where he will
attend a League of Nations Coun-
Gil session Monday.
Some Points Charmed.
Conversations yesterday between
Soviet Ambassador Ivan Maisky anC
Sir Robert Vansittart, chief diplo.
matte adviser to the British gov.
ernment, also were said officially tt
have clarified some points. Lord
Halifax will have an opportunity
to see Maisky again in Geneva.
The unanimity shown in yester-
days House of Commons debate ir
favor of a pact with the Soviet
Union was said by informed politi.
cal sources to have convinced the
Prime Minister an early agreement
was necessary, both to what he calls
his peace front" opposed to the
Rome Berlin axis, and political
unity at home.
Mr.. Chamberlain summoned the
cabinets foreign affairs sub-com-
mittee which was said to have de-
cided on new consultations with
Poland and Rumania.
The Paris talks between Lord
Halifax and the French ministerl
were understood to cover both the
terms of the Russian pact and the
question of British-French guaran-
tees to Russia's Baltic neighbors-
Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia and Fin
land.
