 Marty (Goldstein) jumped out of Dukey's car and hollered at me [. he put the can, sinking of gasoline, in my. car and jumped in the seat beside me .. then he said to me, 'Dukey and burned up somebody tonight I asked him who it was and he said, Puggy FeinStein.' Then Goldstein said, We strangled him in (Abe) Reles' house; that is, Reles and Strauss and I did it. After we strangled him Duke and took him out and burned him."
 Turns States Evidence.
 Reles, ,'ader of Murder. Inc, had turned states evidence, giving vir- tually the same version.
 Magoon said that he induced Goldstein to throw the gasoline can away rather than return it to the filling station where he had bor- rowed 1t, because there might be iingerprints on 1t. He said he acc companied Goldstein back to the filling station and lent him q to pay for the gasoline he had bought on credit to pour over Feinstein's body.
 Later, Nagoon said. he went with the killers to . restaurant where Strauss and Reles started arguing.
 "etrauss said to Abe, you balled things up, you gave me the wrong end of tho rope, Magoon said. "Then Abe said. What are you talking fbout? You didn't know how to strangle the guy. I knocked him out when ! Jumped on his belly"

 SECRET MISSION TO ROME
 Berlin, Sept. 18.-UP)-Joachim von Ribbentrop. Nazi foreign minis ter, left for Rome today, so sudden ly that usually well informed Nazi quarters were unable to say what his mission was or even whether he had left by train or airplane.

bidden the cabinet to change the foreign policy without advising par lament first, and it was believed that the Italian massed invasion now would force the convocation ot parliament for 8 showdown.
 The French language newspaper Bourse Egyptienne here said today that the invasion naturally requires reply" It demanded that parlia- ment be convened.
 Report From Rome
 Rome, Sept. 18 --(UP)-British Royal air force planes, attacking be- hind the lines of Italian forces smashing eastward along the Eygp- tian coast, sank an Italian destroyer and barge in the port of Benghasi Libya, general headquarters said in communique today.
 Benghasi is a port on the Gulf ot Sidra, Libya, and is 8 main base of supply for Marshal Rodolfo GraI- anis north African campaign which today's war communique said, al- ready has taken his mechanized forces to Sidi Barrani.
 The communique, describing the advance to Sidi Barrani, said it was made against tenacious British resistance" which had been broken up."
 Sidi Barrani, 75 miles inside Egypt from Libya, whence Graziani last week began his drive to cut off the Suez canal, gives the invading Ital- ians an important water supply and puts them at the head of an asphalt highway leading eastward along the coast to the big British base al Marsa Maturh and Alexandria, base of the British fleet in the eastern Mediterranean.
 Other Places Raided In addition to raiding BenghaSi British planes during the night at- tackled Derni, small seaport 14( miles northeast of Benghasi. Most of the damage appeared to have been done at Benghasi, the com- munique said.
 It was claimed that yesterday 1 i've BrlClSh planes were shot QoWr in flames and that probably another was destroyed. The Italians lost foul planes yesterday, it was said.
 The Italian advance on Sidi Bar. ra1i was aided by the air force which bombed and strafed the Brit. ! ish defenders, the communique said Both Italian and Libyan troops which fought in intense heat anc swirling desert sandstorms, partici- pated in the capture and occupation of Sidi Barrani, general headquar- ters said.
 An announcement here said that sailors from British steamer o1 $500 tons which was sunk by ar Italian submarine operating in the Atlantic ocean have been put ashore at Lisbon, Portugal.

They met first gun fire, which forced them to split up. and then British fighters which engaged them 60 high in the sky that people aground could follow the fight only through the bursts of machine gun fire from the battling planes.
 During the night a great depart ment store in the west end had been wrecked, 8 bomb had smashed down into a subway station in which men, women and frightened children were huddling for shelter. Three famous stores in the west end were struck-Bourne and Hol- lingsworth, D. H. Evans, and John Lewis, all in Oxford street, and the big Lambeth Walk Market was dam aged.
 A United Press correspondent who rode three miles into central Lon- don on his way to work reported that his route showed the effects of last nights bombing. Unexploded bombs lay in streets, one side-street after another disclosed a vista of wrecked homes, there were mounds of masonry in some streets and an occasional fire still smouldered.
 Passengers on the bus, morale high, merely stared out curiouSly as an air raid alarm siren sounded and two German bombers droned overhead.
 In Westminster Abbey
 It was understood that in a re- cent raid bomb had fallen on the lawn of ancient Westminster Ab- bey, digging a small crater without damaging the building.
 The market place in Lambeth Walk, which inspired the famous song hit and dance, lay in ruins. Shops and houses in the vicinity had been wrecked by high explo- sive bombs during the night, and it was feared that some residents in the little dwellings lay buried in the ruins.
 One of the department stores de- istroyed was the four-story building of John H. Lewis, one of the city'S big stores. It is on Oxford street 4cdT OX1OTQ C1rCuS.
 The building was a smouldering ruin after German plane dropped sticks of incendiary bombs on it and other planes plastered it with high explosives. Only the walls and the structural pillars were left standing and these appeared near collapse.
 : As if in rage because gale had scattered the fleet of boats which for weeks had been concentrating along the Channel for an invasion attempt, the Nazi planes blasted London mercilessly.
 Bombs were dropped on many dif- ferent areas in and around the capital but they were concentrated in the fashionable shopping and residential areas of the west end. Tor some hours after it started, the long terrible night raid was far less intense than had been any in three days past.
 A number of incendiary bombs dropped about the London area and the strengthened anti-aircraft gum barTage dotted the sky with bursting shells.
 Maxi Planes Stick At It
 0ennain raiding planes were con- stantly overhead, flying singly or in groups of from three to five.
 It was only 2 a. m., however, when the raid which had started at SOC p. m., had been on six hours, that the German attack became fero- cious. Quickly it attained true blitz- krieg pitch.
 Bombs of all sorts began raining

here as a hollow victory since the British, before evacuating, rendered water wells useless in all territory occupied by the Italians.
 The British admitted that the Italians had occupied Sidi Barrani, 75 miles inside Egypt from the bor- der of Libya, and that the two Italian columns were supported by strong rear forces.
 Sidi Barrani is e settlement Of only 30 adobe houses but 1t has wa- ter wells, which are scarce in that desert area, and 1t Is on the end ot an asphalt highway leading to Marr So Matruh, where the British have strong troop concentrations, and to Alexandria, the British naval base, Established on that road. the Ital- ians would have much easier Eldine than they had had across the desert track from Libya.

War Brings Added
Trade Query Load
On Commerce Unit
Shifting Conditions
Bring Appeals for
Export-Import Data

Since the outbreak of the Euro
pean war last September, foreign
trade inquiries received by the Bu-
reau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, both here and in it's district
offlces throughout the country, have
greatly increased, as high as 300
per cent in some units, it was
learned yesterday. Not only is the
volume of inquiries larger, but the
questions cover much wider range.
Rejecting current interest in
American foreign policy, the bureau
IS receiving many requests for trade
data to show the advantages and
disadvantages of economic isolation.
For example, what are the pro-
portions of United States exports
and imports to domestic production?
To what extent is the United States
dependent on imports from foreign
countries, and how many American
workers are employed in manufac-
turing goods for export?
Soviet Enigma Prompts Queries.
Many questions seek background
information on belligerent and neu-
trail European countries and their
colonies, their resources and trade
with the United States. Bureau off,
cials report lively interest in every
phase of the war that might concern
Soviet Russia, and there have been
numerous requests to forecast Soviet
Russias future moves in the Bal
kans and the Far East. On such
questions as these, bureau experts
are unwilling to essay the role Of
prophecy.
District Offices report keen in
terest in Latin American trade pos
sibilities. Questions on Latin Amer
lea are of two prescribed kinds.
First, the European markets for raw
materials from Latin America which
have been lost as a result of the
war, and second, the markets for
manufactured goods in Latin Amer
lea which Europe has lost, because
Of the war. According to reports
reaching the bureau, certain Ger
man firms in Latin America, which
before the war handled only goods
made in Germany, are now seeking
the representation of American
firms
Wide Range of Questions.
I'm addition to requests for in
formation about foreign trade op-
portunities, trade restrictions in the
belligerent countries and the changes
caused by the war in the economic
conditions of foreign countries, the
bureau and the district Offices have
received many inquiries for in
formation not normally falling
within their field. They have been
called upon, for example, for assis-
tance in locating relatives in Poland
and Czecho-Slovakia. One district
ONCE not long ago received a re-
quest from Finn in business in
Sweden for help in moving his fam
lily from Stockholm to the United
States, so that they could be with
him during his stay in this country.
One district Office in an Eastern
city was asked how long the Euro
pean war will last, and the same
office was requested by a business
man to tell him how to prevent Nazi
authorities from censoring his let
ters to Germany.

choice may be made there is a
good deal of variety. but for the
most part the effort seems to have
been to paint boldly, directly and
rather Sketchily-in other words to
register impression and let it go at
that. Generalizing, there seems to
have been very little consideration
given to choice of theme. Appar-
emily these painters have not been
lured by beauty, either objective or
in effect, but perhaps knowing their
limitations have contented them
selves with an attempt to show
what they can do technically In
imitation of their betters. This Is
a failing of youth and there is rea-
son to believe that most of those
who have submitted these works
to the Federal Government for pur-
chase are young and still learning.
OF course, this is not true Of all.
From patriotism some of our more
accomplished water coloristS entered
this unusual competition. Mention
may be made of paintings by Avery
Johnson, Fred Alexander, Barse
Miller, Frank E. Buffmire, Arthur
E. Kerrick and Ethel Spears, all OF
which are of excellent professional
standard. A distinguished local COM
mittee, of which Mrs. Harlan Fiske
Stone is chairman, is sponsoring
this sales-shoW.

one print a year is only S., but the
aggregate amount makes it possible
adequately to reward the printmaker
whose work is published. No better
way of self enrichment and art
patronage has been hit upon up to
the present time.
But to return to the Forthcoming
exhibition. 1t is especially interest
ing to note the way in which print
makers are now turning to wood en-
craving not as in the past for repro
ductive purposes, but as medium
for original expression. 1t is slow
process, as we'll as difficult one.
therefore the engraver cannot set
forth an impression at the moment
of inspiration, but must be able to
hold such impression in mind, re-
tanning the original enthusiasm re-
gardless of the tedium of technique
and the need of expert craftsman
ship intervening. 1t is this willing
ness to experiment and determine
ton to overcome difficulties which
has led not only to discoveries. but
placed printmaking on the high
plane that it occupies in this coun-
try today. Fuller comment on the
individual works in this exhibition
must be postponed until later.

Quite by coincidence, at the same
time the wood engravings by mem
bers of the Southern Printmakers

sales in its exhibitions, prizes and
patron gifts it has turned over
S120 900 to living American artists
for sales made in their annual ex-
hibitions. A particular effort in this
direction has been made in the past
seven years, when conditions for
those in the so-called luxury pro-
LESSONS have been especially diff
cult, with the result that $4,000 has
been spent each year Tor works to
be added to the academy's perma-
nent collection This sum is again
available for like purpose this year
in addition to which nine medals
and other special awards are offered.
The jury of selection for this forth
coming exhibition comprises Leon
