Winnie Judd,
Re-Captured,
Seems Crazy

Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 31.-(AP)-
Winnie Ruth Judd, literally wild
woman, who sobbed and screamed
AND threw things until given Sc
dative to quiet her, was back in the
Arizona hospital for the insane to-
day, carefully guarded.
The mad trunk killer, dirty, I'M
kempt and half starved, who said
she saw ''horrible things" during
her six days of freedom, was caught
last night leaving an attaches home
on the hospital grounds, which she
had entered to obtain food. Her
shoes were gone. There were holes
in her stockings. Bruises and
scratches on her legs indicated she
had fallen or bumped into objects
while wandering in the dark. One
ankle was sprained and she had
fashioned a brace or a girdle.
In a pillow slip she carried bread
crusts. several cans Of soup, spa
ghetti, a glass Of jelly and a nearly
green orange from which she had
sucked the juice.
The new frock and shoes which
she wore when she left the hospital
last Tuesday night had been ex-
changed for an old brown coat and
drab blue hat, pulled down over
her ears.

Dies Witness
Arrested AS

Washington, Oct 31.-(AP)- I'M
mediately after he stepped down
from the witness stand Of the Dies
committee, pudgy William McCuiston
sailor and One-time minor cOmmun-
list official, was taken into custody
today by police in connection with
a New Orleans Staying.
Washington authorities had been
requested by New Orleans police
yesterday to hold McCujston for
questioning in connection with the
killing September II Of Philip Carey,
an official of the National Maritime
Unto n at New Orleans. McCuiston
formerly served as an officer Of the
N. M. u. at New Orleans.
The request that the witness be
held reached here yesterday after
he had left the capital, but today the
Dies committee investigating I'M
American activities turned him over
to member of the un-American
SQUAD Of the Washington detective
bureau. Just prior to this action, the
committee adopted a resolution ask
ing that McCuiston be taken to the
civil liberties section of the Depart
ment of Justice for an investigation
to determine whether his civil lib
critics had been violated.
Some committee members charged
there had been an effort to intimidate
McCuiston in connection with his
testimony to the committee.
Chairman Dies asserted an attempt
had been made to intimidate Nc
Cuiston, and indicated his belief that
the arrangement for McCuiston's ar
rest had been made with the idea of
discreditine his whole testimony.

Norwegian
Naval Ship
With Flint
c ure d u. S.
Freighter Sighted Off
Rugged c O a t in
Charge of German
Prize Crew; No
Assistance by Nor
way.

Bergen, Norway Oct 31.-(AP)-
The United States freighter City Of
Flint, in command of a German
prize crew, felt her way southwark
along the northern Norwegian coast
today, with a Norwegian naval
watchdog close on her heels.
The City of Flint was sighted along
Londingen light at II a. m. 6 a. m.
EST, while steaming close behind
was Norwegian ship, believed to
be the destroyer Fleipner, which es-
corted the captured American YES
sci out of Tromso waters yesterday.
The appearance Of the City Of
Flint off Londingen, on the inland
route down one Of the worlds most
broken coasts, was taken as an in
dicatiOn that the German prize crew
had requested and obtained permis-
sion to move in Norwegian territor-
ial waters.
Persons in position to know indi-
Gated that the Norwegian man Of
war was not permitted under any
circumstances to assist in the naviga-
ton Of the City Of Flint. The Nor
Weglan ship was required to follow
at as much distance as consistent
with her watch.
One of the duties of the escort ship
was to make certain the freighter
passed through no naval port or
naval district at night, or that she
otherwise obey all rules laid down
for her passage in Norwegian waters.
In the event the vessel does not
comply, it was said authoritatively,
she was to be halted and both ship
and crew interned.

Berlin, Oct. 31.-(AP)-A United

to call the attention of the German
government informally to its respon-
sibility for the safety Of the Amer
lean crew Of the City Of Flint, now
enroute to a German port, in COM
mand of a German prize crew.
The German prize crew was given
an even chance in shipping circles
to escape detection on a blockade

Labor Plans

Legislators
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
In the Sir Walter Hotel.

Raleigh, Oct. 31-Labor in North
Carolina, as represented by the ALL
affiliated State Federation Of Labor,
is actively campaigning right now
for greater strength in the 1871 Gen
eral Assembly, the members Of which
will be nominated in the spring pri-
maries next year.
President of the State Federation,
C. A. Fink Of Salisbury, is convinced
that there were "tOO many corpora
ton lawyers" in the 1889 legislature
and is urging his organization and
its members to get actively into the
political battle with a view to elect
ing enough friends Of organized LABOR
to make it an important group in
the assembly. He particularly wants
as LEGISLATORS men who are active at
filiates of the union.
.'If we are to get anywhere with
our legislative program we must
have some members Of our affiliated
unions in the next legislature, said
Mr.. Fink writing in the October issue
of the North Carolina Federationlst
II earnestly urge our members to
enter the campaign for election to
the legislature. There were entirely
too many corporation lawyers in the
General Assembly and that accounts
for the difficulty labor has in the
adoption of proper labor and social
legislation"
There are many counties in the
State where organized labor, II II
ever really becomes ''organized'' po-
litically is powerful enough to hold
the balance Of power, If indeed II
cannot elect members Of unions; ano
the latter is capable Of accomplish
ment in some counties.

Washington, Oct 31.-(AP)--The
American government, it was learn
ed at the State Department today is
asking the British and German gov
ernments to avoid exposing the crew
Of the captured American freighter
City Of Flint to unnecessary danger.
Instructions to this effect have
been sent to Ambassador Joseph p.

The American government, it was
learned, is expressing to both the
British and German governments its
concern for the safety of the Amer

both belligerents will take necessary
precautions to prevent harm from
coming to them.

Britain Will
Defy Might
Of Germans

London, Oct 31.-(AP)-Heavy
naval and war plane concentrations
along Great Britains coast, military
observers said today, indicate the
British are prepared for gigantic
North Sea battle.
Its such a ruddy, queer war,
one tactical expert declared, that
predictions aren't much good, but
you can be sure of one thing, and
that is that Great Britain Wouldn' t
be caught out if Adolf Hitler sent
along his planes and submarines in
a bunch for one terrific North Sea
battle"
Much of the British feeling that
the North Sea will be one Of the
big battle grounds of the war comes
from such German pronounce
ments as that which appeared in

Rome, Oct. 81 (AP) Premier
Mussolini reorganized the entire
leadership of the fascist regime to-

ed in its sweeping scope.
Seven cabinet ministers, the sec
rotary of the fascist party, the chief
Of staff Of the army, air force and
fascist militia and four under secre-
taries Of state were replaced in the
drastic re-shuffling. In addition
Mussolini himself yielded the port

French Report Re-
newed German Ar
tillery Fire at Front.

Berlin, Oct. 31.-(AP)-An official
announcement said today that Ger
man scouting troops had crossed the
German-French border to explore
territory in front of the Maginot line.
This was the first German announce
ment of the crossing of German
troops into France. The announce
ment did not say where the crossing
occurred.
German troops were said to have
found a deserted French second de-
Tense line close behind the boundary
post about a mile from the first
French village, an unfinished trench
system. In the second village, I'M
identified by the German announce
ment, houses were "carefully enter
3D." but no soldiers or villagers were
found.
The announcement said that the
Germans, undisturbed by enemy gun
fire, searched the village and then
marched on to a second community,
which also was deserted Enroute,
they were said to have found ma
chine gun nests, army equipment and
other signs Of precipitate eVacua-
ton"
The German high command also
reported a resumption OF artillery
fire on the western front after a
two-day lull and the shooting down
of more enemy planes.
A German cOmmunique did not
reveal details of the shooting down
Of the planes.
Probably encouraged by better
weather, the Germans sent scouting
parties into no-man's-la between
the Siegfried and Maginot lines.

Moscow, Oct. 31-(AP)---Soviet
Russia's premier and Foreign Com
NISSAN Vyacheslaff Molotoff today
declared there can be no question
of restoring Poland" and that sit was
absurd to continue the present war
for such a cause"
He declared that, "although the
governments Of Britain and France
understand this, they do not want
the war stopped and peace restored"
He accused the Allies Of ''seeking
new excuses for continuing war with
Germany" and scoffed at British and
French ruling classes which ''have
lately been attempting to depict
Themselves as champions of the dem
ocratic rights OF nations against Hit
lerism."
Surveying the international situa-
ton in a speech before an extra
ordinary session of the Supreme
Soviet, Russia's pay lament, Molo-
toff said Britain an& France had de-
clared something in the nature of
an theological war on Germany,
reminiscent of the religious wars of
olden times. Is it back to the Middle
Ages, to the days of religious wars,
superstition and cultural deteriora-
ton that the ruling classes Of Bri-
tain and France want to drag us?"
'There is absolutely no justifica-
ton for a war Of this kind" he said.
He said the war which was start
ed is ''fraught with even greater
danger for the people of Europe and
The whole world"
Zone may accept or reject the
theology of Hitlerism, as we'll as any
other theological system. That is a
matter of political views, but every
body should understand that ideol-
ogy cannot be destroyed by force,
that it cannot be eliminated by war"

not. I can't find that name on any
