juries received in the same accident.
One of them was identified as
Robert Jennings Carlton, Jr, IA. of
1908 Nineteenth street NV
The other youngster in the Alex
andria Hospital was not Immediately

and to the establishment of none of

The final score was IA to 0, which
was not quite as one-sided on the
scoreboard as the 24-to-0 count
Navy rolled up so years ago on the
plains of West Point. For all prac-

as well have been "a points shy.
Outweighed on an average of from

36 Sticks Of Dynamite
Found Near Defense Plant

b. the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30.-Three
dozen sticks of dynamite were found
on a lot few hundred yards from
the General Motors plant early to-
day by deputies of the sheriff's anti
subversive squad.
The discovery resulted from a
search around Pacific Rock Co. s
plant No. 3, situated about a
quarter mile from the motors fac
tory. The search was made because,
in investigating mysterious burns on
the Rock plants elevator stairway,
the officers found several burned
out flares on top of the elevator.
1T looks as if these flares might
have been used to signal to men
inside the General Motors plant"

SALINAS, Calf, Nov. 3o.-A re-
ported plot to steal the $40, 900 pay
roll at Fort Ord today brought out
as many guns and guards as If an
invader were threatening.
Sheriff Alex Bordges was advised
by Los Angeles police to be on the
lookout for neatly dressed, swarthy
man with accomplices carrying golf
bags to conceal machine guns. Other
warnings went to the Army en-
campment, teeming with new activi-
ties.
The Army, the sheriff's staff, city
police, military police and the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
hastily dispatched extra guards to
watch the money. which arrived
in cash from San Francisco to meet
the big monthly pay roll.
The money was passed out the
pay windows without incident.

German Freighter
Blockade
Sends Out Calls
Vessel Being Followed
By Wurships, Unidentified
Station Reports
BY the Associated Press.

MIAMI, Fla, Dec. l Sunday -
Tropical Radio said early today the
German freighter Rhein was broad
casting continuous calls to a Mexi-
can station at Merida, Yucatan.
Tropical said the Rhein operator
was asking "all stations" in German
to relay the calls to the Merida sta
ton. Instead of following the Gus
tomary procedure of broadcasting at
intervals and waiting Is minutes for
an answer, Tropical said the Rhein
was repeating urgently, Have a
message"
The radio station said 1t inter-
cepted another message from an UNI
identified station saying. "Rhein be-
ing followed by warships."
The Rhein and another German
merchantmen, the Idarwald, sailed
Friday from Tampieo.
Tropical Radio said similar calls
were heard when these craft, with
two others, made dash for the sea
two weeks ago and one, the Phrygia,
was scuttled when unidentified war
ships were sighted. At that time
the 6,031-ton Rhein dashed back
into port.
Ordinarily, in wartime, vessels of
belligerent powers remain silent
while at sea.

1000 Armed Peasants
In Mexico City for
Inauguration Today
CopitoI Guarded Heavily
After Reported Plot to
Kill AviIu Cumucho
By the Associated Press.


MEXICO CITY, Nov. 30.-More
than 1000 peasants armed with new
rifles and cartridge belts arrived in
the Mexican capital tonight in
trucks from Puebla State, home of
President-elect Gen. Manuel Avila
Camacho, to watch things" tomor-
row when he becomes the nations
chief executive. About 40 others
armed with pistols also came here
from Vezacruz State.
Although the city was in fiesta
mood tonight on Inauguration eve,
soldiers and police stood guard at
strategic points to prevent ru-
mored plot to assassinate Gen. Avila
Camacho at this Inauguration. All
troops in the federal district were
in barracks, police are on the alert
and authorities said they were tax
ing every precaution.
The commander of the federal
district military zone has warned
publicly that determined groups"
were plotting subversive acts" and
asked the people to cooperate with
military and police authorities in
suppressing such action.
Investigation of a rumor that
Gen. Avila Camacho would be as
sassinated resulted in the death of
Maj. Guillermo Garcia Gallegos last
night in a volley of gunflre when he
led detail of soldiers in raid on
meeting, which police described
as "subversive," at Communist Offices.
Among IS persons arrested In the
raid was Ester Chapa, who holds a
responsible position in the Depart
ment of Interior. A cache of three
rifles, Is pistols, bomb and a guam
tity of cartridges was seized, police
said. A second shooting in which
detective was wounded occurred
in suburb where police raided a
private home for hidden arms. Four
more persons were arrested.
Despite the sensation caused by
the reported plot, the Inauguration
of Gen. Avila Camacho is expected
to go forward without more than
minor disturbances. Assistant Chief
of Police Cesar Lara asserted. He

my head from side to side, could

hear both overhead. I was told by
the officer commanding the post
that the Italians had lost two guns
on the left salient just before I got

hit their near supplies because there
were two terrific explosions and
their guns are not firing this morn
ing any more. A Greek patrol Is

back yet, but I heard their light ma

Actually, most actions that require
the movement of men are done at
night. 1t is too easy to see even a

tain in the daytime and there are
too many spots that are natural OBJ

Treasury will be able to give COM

After these details are available.

This will mean drastic reductions
in appropriations for relief, w. P. A.

believed that with increasing en-
ployment, due largely TO the defense
program, this will be possible.
The greater the economies in ordi-

Double Budget
Being Studied
By President
Ordinary and Arms
Expenses Would
Be Segregated
By GOULD LINCOLN.

President Roosevelt and his ad-
visers on fiscal affairs are giving
consideration to a double budget"
to be submitted to the new Congress,
it was learned last night.
One part of the budget would deal
exclusively with the Government
running expenses. The proposal Is
that this budget" be balanced.
The other budget" would deal
with defense expenditures and would
call for amortization Of this debt by
special taxes.
The view is expressed that the
American people are ready and will
ing, not only to make large expendi-
lures for defense. but to meet the
extra taxation required.
1t is understood this double
budget" proposal was advanced at
the White House conference Friday
night, in which President Roosevelt
met with leading Democratic men,
bers of the House WAYS and Means
and the Senate Finance Committees,
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI, Assistant Secretary John L.
Sullivan and Budget Director Har-
old D. Smith.
Not only was it put forward, but 1t
was discussed at considerable length
as a feasible-and popular-way Of
handling Government expenditures
and meeting the tax situation.
