WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST,


san Simeon, Cal.
THANK YOU for the editorial Mass SUI
l cides in Sweden In a vigorous dc.
fcnse of the right of asylum for political
refugees. we ask YOU to publish additional
data on the subject as told today IN an
interview by two halson men who had ar
rived from Sweden by plane.
Altogether eight Estonians, nine
Lithuanians and $50 Latvians reached the
shores of Sweden dressed in German uni
forms. F'ifty-seven are under age and 90
had civilian passports.
All of them told the Swedish authori-
ties that they wish TO proceed to Denmark
and to British zone and that they had
been forcibIy mUbilzed into German army
IN violation of international law governing
the conduct of military occupying power.
They claimed the status of political
refugees inasmuCh as their countries are
occupied BY hostile power, Russia, unless
they are enabled TO proceed 10 Denmark.
TNHt, Swedish government is seems was
at once put under tremendous pressure
by Russia 1t IS said in Sweden that as
part of the trade treaty between Russia
and Sweden Russia promised some coal
stolen from other occupied countries in
exchange for the bodies of Baltic refugees.
All l67 men were interned in one camp
in southern Sweden.
When the secret deal leaked out there
was an unprecedented wave of protests
throughout Sweden.
- Lutheran bishops and delegates of the
Evangelical Church protested mass dem
onstrations were spontaneously organized,
minority parties interviewed in both cham
bers in Riksdag, Baltic internees were
swamped with gifts and flowers and lit
orally hundreds of thousands Of people
visited the barbed wire camp.
Following the great. demonstration
before the royal palace on Nov. 25, 100000
signatures were collected on a petition
to the government including the sigma
lures of all the university students of
Stockholm.

Baltic Refugees Still Treated
AS War Prisoners in Sweden

tion and that the order is in accordance
with Swedish deportation laws.
Premier Hanson said:
I'm lieu of a German authority the
occupying powers must be regarded as
the receiving authority for military refu-
gees. Any suggestion of differentiating
between the occupying powers must be
vigorously rejected and l regret sincerely
that attempts have been made in this vein.
The government feels il has the right
10 take for granted that the depOrtees will
be treated as prisoners of war according
To established customs"
WHAT the premier conveniently forgot
w is that the Soviet Union is not
party to any Of the Hague and other con-
ventions concerning the treatment OF
prisoners of war.
Regardless of his refusal TO dtfier-
entate between occupying powers, men
would be safe in British or American zone
of Germany but they are doomed to die
if surrendered to Russia by a country that
had abolished the death penalty.
No criminal charges are preferred
against any one of the l67 Baltic refugees
vet Russian controlled radios of Tallin,
Riga and Vilnius proclaim daily that
traitors are eagerly awaited there for
retrlbution.
The tWo men interviewed by me to-
day brought with them a mass of clip
pings, photographs and other pertinent
data.
They had spoken to Baltic refugees
in Sweden some of whom had arrived
very recently and the latter state that the

Our position in this matter is that
German citizens must take the conse-
quences of their losing the war after per

An entirely different situation Is pre-
sented by Baltic internees. Estona,

Rockingham Coroner
Denies Saying Smith
Died by Own Hand
b. the Associated Press.

-sA
HARRISONBURG, va, Oct, IT.
Dr.. r. l. Byres, Rockingham County
coroner. denied last night in Reck<
ingham Circuit Court that he ever
had made the statement that Frank
C. Smith, veteran of World War II,
died by his own hand As. the trial
Of Mrs. Grace M Smith, charged
with the murder OF her" husband
entered its second day.
The Rockingham County coroner
testified that when he first went to
the Smith home on the night of the
alleged crime, he believed that Mr..
Smith was suicide, but that since
that time, conflicting evidence made
it impossible for him to make the
statement now that Mr.. Smith had
died by his own hand.
DR.. Byres' statement came after
D. Wampler Earman, defense coun-
sci, had asked him if he did not be-
lieve that Mr.. Smith had died "oi
strangulation at the hands of Frank
c. Smith, The physician said he
could not say, and on further ques-
tioning denied that he had made
such statements. He said his only
verdict had been that Mr.. Smith
had died of strangulation.
The coroners testimony came
early in the afternoon after Chief
of Police William j. Kean, who was
on the stand most of the morning
had completed his testimony. A
wave of excitement ran through the
courtroom later when the Common
wealth called as witness Ralph
N. Garner, who also is charged with
murder in the Smith death. The
Commemorative only question to
Garner was one to identify picture
of himself, which Garner stated was
taken five or six years ago" In
Portland. Greg.
Two neighbors of the Smiths tes-
titled early in the day that they
had seen Garner at the Smith home
on various occasions.
Mr.. Smith, who was discharged
from the service in December of last
year, was found hanging in the
basement of his home last February.
Police were summoned by Mrs.
Smith and on investigation found
two pools of blood on the first floor
of the home. The defendant told
police that Mr.. Smith had hanged
himself but the Commonwealth
brought a charge of murder against
the veterans wife.

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 17.-The
Methodist ministry is suffering from
a shortage of manpower, DR.. w. A.
Smart Of, Emery University told an
audience of 1000 persons last night
at the opening session Of the 163d
Virginia Annual Conference of the
Methodist Church.
DR.. Smart appealed for the
strengthening of the Christian
Church and said he believed
churches today are surrounded by
pagan society similar to that found
in the early history of the church. u
The Methodist Church, he added, is
suffering from a decline In the en-
.rollment of men for the ministry.
The 800 pastors and lay delegates
official representatives at the con-
ference, also heard four recommen-
dations by the Board of Missions

Organization of a local board OF
missions and church extensions in
each church.

Attorney for Snyder
Argues Demurrer in :
Farm Work indictment

Arguments by opposing counsel
In a demurrer to indictments charg-
ing D.. Leroy Snyder, suspended
captain of the Montgomery County
police force, with malfeasance in
Office, were taken under advise
ment today by Judges Charles w.
Woodward and Stedman Prescott
in the Circuit Court >at Rockville.
The policeman is charged with
using members of the county police
force to work on his farm and falsi-
flying police records to show them
on duty when they actually were on
the farm.
James H. Pugh. attorney for Capt
Snyder, contended neither of the
two indictments charges the police
man with doing anything wrong
with his official duties.
He also claimed the alleged Of
fenses should have been brought be-
fore police trial board; that Capt.
Snyder is not charged with doing
anything unlawfully," and that two
Of the counts in one indictment are
faulty because each charges two
seperate offenses.
States Attorney Joseph B. Simp-
son, jr., entered a general denial to
Mr.. Pugh's demurrer. He stated
that "innumerable" offenses could
be charged in one indictment as
long as they are related.
He also said Capt. Snyder was
charged with violations of the COM
mon law, which are properly mat
ters to be considered by the grand
i1rry
