The stories, all different, were classified this morning as follows: Coppess had been shot and killed; that he had been shot directly through the heart; that he had been shot when he threatened to disclose the identity of the bandits, whom he supposedly recognized. Tliat he had been robbed of SIOO after being killed; that he had been robbed of S2OO and last and possibly far more lurid that he had been shot I and killed by a frenzied moron, who either killed or injured 11 persons , between here and South Bend, as I they were enroute to a football I game. Meanwhile Coppess still maintains that, he is absolutely unhurt by the weapons of the supposed intruders, but that his business picked up considerably during the weekend by thrill-seeking spectators, who purchased a bottle of pop to sai tiate their desire of seeing the body | of a man murdered by bandits and a filling station riddled by bullets. DEPARTMENT TO (CjmtIMJMD FROM SAGE ONE) presented the school with a moving picture camera, so that the i school might film its own pictures. The purchase of the projection machine makes the showing of these pictures possible. The new projector uses 16 mm. film and is fully equipped. ■ e !

ROOSEVELT AND f HOPKINS CONFER Call Meeting To Discuss Efforts Os Stock Market Decline Washington, Nov. 8 — (U.R) President Roosevelt today called i works progress administrator Har-1 ry L. Hopkins and a group of government economists to the White j House for a discussion of eco-, nomic effects of the stack market i decline and business recession. | Mr. Roosevelt planned to hold 1 the discussion at 2 p. in. Those with whom Mr. Roosevelt I will confer were Leon Henderson. I works progress economics advis-1 er; Isadore Lubin, labor depart ment economist, and Laughlin Currie of the federal reserve board. The economists are expected to give the president information on the stock market situation, unemployment relief, finances, and the budget. ' It was understood that they would discyss not only the present situation but its possible future ramifications. Recently the president has questioned many visitors regarding the general economic picture, | and at a conference with Hopkins at Hyde Park. He decided it would be advisable to confer with the key men who study the economic situation in government departments. More conferences with government agencies studying the economic picture are expected to' follow. Edward F. McGrady, former assistant secretary of labor and David Stern, New York and Philadelphia publisher, and Emil Ludwig. who is writing a biography of the president, also will see Mr. - Roosevelt today. - o ANTI-RED PACT YCONTINUED FROM^PACJE_pNE) tensibly, the five German warships that took part, had arrived as es-' cort to the first of several parties of "labor front" vacationists to visit Italy. But in Paris the belief seemed to be that, occurring 24 hours after Italy’s adherence to the anti-communist pact, the demonstration was much more than a coincidenceParis reported that Berlin was to be “anti-communist” headquarters, and that there members of the general staffs of Germany, Italy and Japan would fit their strafegic plans into a world picture whose idea was that fascist-nazi nations were on one side and democratic nations op the other. Again ignoring any military understanding, diplomatic quarters suggest that concrete measures may include: 1. Collaborating throughout the world in the collection of information on political tendencies of other nations 2. Dividing the world into spheres of influence for Germany, Italy and Japan. 3. Pooling of propaganda services and exchange of general information among the German. Italian and Japanese governments. Diplomats see -in the anti-com-munist agreement a combination of nations possessing nearly 200.000.000 people. 2.000.000 tons of war-: ships. 6.000 airplanes and between 6,000,000 and 8,000,000 trained army

reserves at least. Representatives of democratic nations believe that the democracies if United States could present an overwhelming superiority of forces, in additio nto solid material wealth j which the "have nots" lack. But ■ the democracies are not united. Comment in inspired newspapers lof Austria, Hungary, Jugoslavia I and Roumania indicated strong apI proval of the anti-communist agreej ment as such. Anti communist | | speeches were delivered yesterday | iby Premier Koloman de Daramyi | of Hungary and Premier John Me- j | taxas of Greece. To offset any sup- j I port of Germany and Italy which i Metaxas' speech might have shown. I King George of Greece arrived in London last night to visit King ' George VI —his first visit since he I resumed the throne. I As regards support for democratic nations. King Carol of Roumania recently announced that in t'any emergency, Roumania would, ’ be found on France’s side. Japanese Advance Shanghai, Nov. 8.--<U.R> Japanese troops fought their way across j the Whangpoo river 17 miles south of Shanghai today and Gen. I Iwane Matsui, Japanese army commander in chief, predicted that hismen would isolate the Chinese! from Shanghai by tomorrow night Reports indicated that losses on! both sides were large. The Japan-, ese had to fight their way across \ the Whngpoo in the face of a devastating machine gun fire. The point at which they crossed is about six miles east of Sunkiang, ( where the river is 200 feet wide i and the current is swift. While' the Chinese machine gunners raked the Japanese their tire.! Japanese airplanes bombed Chinese reinforcements hurrying southward from Shanghai. Japanese failed, according to Chinese spokesmen, in three ef-| forts to land men on the Whang-j poo immediately below Shanghai.' in an effort to cooperate in a' flanking attack on the Pootuug ■ section. o 4-H CLUBS TO (CONTINnEI) FROM - PAGB ONE) Schnepp, Virginia Spangler.
