FARMER FACES PROSPECT OF DOLLARWHEAT Panicky Grain Raisers Rush Product to Market. CHICAGO, Oct. 22.—The American farmer today is confronted with the immediate prospect of $1 wheat. It 1b six years since the country has had ‘‘dollar wheat.” - Exactly a year ago the farmer was talking $3 wheat; in fact, he “struck” for that price. Bnt now he is glad to accept a few cents over the dollar because he has to sell—sell on a drastically declining market with the bears in the saddle. December wheat at one time this week slumped to $1.02%, the lowest since September, 1915. THREE THINGS HELD RESPONSIBLE. ■Joseph P. Griffin, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, in an interview attributed the situation to three things: I. Country bankers forcing the farmers to pay up their debts. t. Legislation that virtually Is putting the grain speculators out of business. S. The depressing effect of a possible railroad strike. “The farmers of the country are panicky,” said Mr. Griffin. “They have brought about the collapse of prices to a large extent themselves. They are in a bad financial tlx. with the bankers forcing them to liquidate to meet their obligations. This condition Is reflected by the farmers’ frenzied, Intemperate marketing. “The movement of crops from the country to market Is reaching record proportions in spite of the fact we have had only a moderate crop. So far this season wheat receipts at the principal market centers total 231,000.000 bushels as against 144,000,000 bushels the same period last year. “This tremendous marketing has been In excess of the combined purchasing power of ou rdomestic consumers, foreign government and speculators. “Speculation, however, Is responsible. What heretofore was regarded as legitimate speculative business, always a bolster to prices, has been frowned upon, killed oft. “The menace of a rail strike also has had its efleet.” Mr. Griffin said the Chicago Board of Trade has not given its sanction to the movement among individual members of the board to test in the Federal Courts the constitutionality of the CapperTincher law designed to regulate speculation on Boards of Trade, and recently enacted by Congress. The movement Is headed by John Hill, Jr., veteran member of the board. The Capper act becomes effective Dec. 24 and will have a tremendous effect upon the market here and other markets throughout the country.

RTJMP SESSION PUTS PLANS IN SMITH’S HANDS {Continued From Page One.) to defeat at the convention yesterday, presided over the meeting. Resolutions were passed authorizing the newly elected president. Dr. H. Lester Smith, dean of the school of education of Indiana University, to administer the affairs of the association under the new constitution and to appoint in an emergency such committees as might be necessary to carry out his plans. In this the hand of Indiana University, which many teachers declare Is planning to obtain full control of the organization, was plainly visible, as the resolutions, cart, fully prepared in advance were introduced by Prof. W. W. Black of Indiana University. There was no attempt made by members of the rump convention to conceal their belief that Dr. Smith is in full sympathy with them, and that he will deliver over to them the control of the organization, which they were so decisively denied by the convention Friday. “Why, of course, Dr. Smith Is with ns,” one of the leaders of the bolters said to a representive of the Times, although he would not permit his name to be used, “ne was one of the ’big four' who drafted the constitution and I believe he is in full sympathy with us.” The mnke-up of a propaganda committee to disseminate publicity throughout the State favorable to the new constitutionalists, plainly showed that the superintendents and executive officers are In full control of this faction of the teachers, despite the many fervent assertions from the floor that the new constitution will practically turn control of the association over to the classroom teachers. This committee, comprising one representative from each of the thirteen congressional districts, Is composed of nine superintendents, one former superintendent and three teachers.

RAMSEY'S HARMONY EFTORTB UTILE. A sincere effort to reach an agreement •with supporters of the old constitution was made by E. E. Ramsay. Bloomington. Mr. Ramsay said he believed the association was In danger of disruption, and that every effort should te made to harmonize the factions. He offered a motion that an arbitration committee of three, composed of disinterested persons, one to be named by each of the factions, and the third to be named by the two so-named, should be given power to go over the whole matter from one end to the other and report as to whether or not the new constitution had been adopted legally. This motion met with a hearty response at first from the more conservative members attending the meeting, but E. W. Montgomery, superintendent of schools at Bedford, insisted the minority faction was so right that there was nothing to arbitrate. Fie was backed by W. F. Collins, superintendent of schools at Ltaton, who created so much amusement at the convention yesterday when the tide had turned against his party, by prancing up and down before the speakers’ platform at Tomlinson Hall, his face white with rage and his voice trembling with emotion, legging President Donald Du Shane In a loud voice to “use the hatchet, hammer the table with the hatchet, pound awhile with the hatchet,” referring to the use of an old hatchet as a gavel. Seeing that the bit-ter-enders were in control. Mr. Ramsay withdrew his motion, and the only attempt at a peaceful solution of the problem was defeated. The greater part of the meeting was taken up with attempts of the members present to Justify their actions at the convention yesterday by blaming the whole trouble on the stubbsrness of the opposition which Insisted it had a right to ratify or reject the constitution prepared by the big four. All arguments •were alike, that the new constitution had been ratified by the county units and the convention yesterday had no say in the matter. A great amount of oratory was turned loose on the advantages the new constitution would bring to the classroom teachers, who yesterday refused to have

White House Announces Recall of U. S. Army From German Territory

Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—America's “watch on the Rhine” Is to end. It was announced at the White House last night that, beginning almost at once, our Army of Occupation Is by degrees to be withdrawn from Germany. Evacuation will be by slow stages and governed principally by the number of returning transports available for the purpose. It Is planned to take away the first troops from the Coblenz Bridgehead within the next two weeks. That means that by Armistice day, the third anniversary of the cessation of hostilities with Germany, the process of withdrawing the United States force of 16.000 and 700 officers formally will have set in. It probably will be a considerable period before the Stars and Stripes are finally hauled down from Fortress Ehrenbreitenstein. Although the Administration definitely has decided to withdraw the American Army, there apparently Is a feeling that at least the skeleton of a United States force should be left at the Rhine Bridgehead for some time to come. The French, In particular, have insisted on the invaluable “moral influence" of the American flag's presence there for the longest possible period. That desire, voiced with eloquence and fervor by M. Viviani when In Washington last spring, has become an even more passionate one since the conclusion of a separate American-German peace. The French say there would be risible evidence that the United States had not “deserted” its war comrades if even a battalion of doughboys remained on the

these advantages thrust upon them, and a great amount of sympathy over their misguided action was expressed. What was declared to be the selfishness of Indianapolis teachers In voting against the constitution in order to keep the convention In Indianapolis also was dwelt upon at length; but through the whole meeting there was one central Idea never lost sight of; that the mouority is determined at any cost to gain by technicalities and political strategies what It lost In open battle on the floor of the convention yesterday. PROPAGANDA COMMITTEEMEN. The propaganda committee was named as follows: First District—J. W. Stott, Princeton. Second District—D. C. Mclntosh, Worthington. Third District—E. W. Montgomery, Bedford. Fourth District—J. W. Riddle, Lawrenceburg. Fifth District—M. Francis Collins, Llzton. Sixth District —Roy R. Roudebush, Greco field. Seventh District—Willis Hollman, University Heights. Eighth District—O. H. Grlest, Winchester. Ninth District—O. L. Scales, Delphi. Tenth District —R. F. Robinson, East Chicago. Eleventh District—A. R. Hall, Marion. Twelfth District—H. M. Dixon, Kendallville. Thirteenth District—James Leffel, Warsaw. When the final vote was taken yesterday and It was clear even to the most fanatical adherent of the new constitution idea that the plan har been decisively rejected by the convention, Mr. Hayworth mounted a chair and announced there would be a meeting of the defated faction at the Assembly room of Ulaypool Hotel at 9 o'clock this morning His announcement wag greeted with wild cheers by the minority and Its members boasted they would knock the present organization into a large number of very small pieces and would organize anew association with not less than eighty county units behind them. These threats did not seem to disturb the majority members In the least, and It was said that as soon as the defeated party had cooled down a little and thought the matter over, it would take its licking, particularly when it found that it would not be able to take any great number of teachers out of the association.

It was very noticeable that the adherents of the new constitution Idea, wtlirh would take away from the association the right to transact its business affairs and place them In the hands of delegates selected from the county units, consisted very largely cf county superintendents, while the old constitution faction was composed of the mass of the teachers themselves. As one teacher, a former service man, said: “It is the private soldier against the commissioned officer and the men and women in the ranks won out today.” The fight started after the convention had started out with a great show of harmony and had elected Dr. H. I, Smith, dean of the school of education of Indiana University, president and Miss Cora Steele of Terre Haute, recording secretary. Th-n the resolutions were taken up and after a few minor changes had been made they were passed with little difficulty. Right here the storm broke, when the uiestlon of the new or old'constitution came up. From the first, it was apparent the forces In favor of the new constitution were far better organized than tbel.opponents, who seemed leaderless and at first had no definite plan of notion. The new constitution leaders tried hard to choke off any discussion by Insisting that as the constitution had been approved last winter by delegates to a constitutional convention, and later by seventy-eight county units, four more than the necessary two-tliirds, the present convention had no right to do anything in the matter. CHAIR RULING FAVORS OPPONENTS. However, Donald Du Shane, president, who presided, ruled that the matter could be discussed. This brought out an awful roar of disapproval from the supporters of the new constitution and they made repeated efforts to force an adjournment. The first vote was apparently close, but the “noes” seemed to be in a slight majority. From this time on the tide began to turn, the rank and file began to feel their power and to show their confidence. Several members of the committee of twentyeight which was appointed to draft the constitution, openly charged that the ‘ big four," to whom the work was delegated, were instructed to draw up a skeleton constitution and report back to the big committee, but that this had never been done and that the constitution was the work wholly of these four persons. Furthermore, it was charged that when the referendum vote was taken teachers not members of the association were permitted to vote and unfair tactics had been used to obtain ratification of the plan. Finally, N. S. Whlteborn of Columbus moved that the new plan be discarded and the association continue under the old constitution. Every technical objection possible was raised by the opposition, and with a patience and good sportsmanship that was the cause of much favorable comment, President Du Shane, al-’ though a supporter of the old constitution, permitted his opponents to argue to their hearts’ content and to raise all the objections they could think at. But the new constitutionalists had lost their opportunity when they failed to force an early adjournment and whan the final vote was taken the drift had become a tidal wave and the old constltutiaa was upheld on a standing vote, by a majority that appeared to be at least two to one. After adjournment, President Du Shane was the center of a young mob scene on the stage, where he was surrounded by a target crowd of both tactions, and the

Rhine, shoulder to shoulder with the troops of France, Great Britain and Belgium, who are there to enforce German respect for her treaty obligations. President Harding's assent to the gradual withdrawing of American troops was conceived In a belief that the Uer-

126 Officers, 7,672 Men Are Affected by First Orders WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.—1n accordance with the Administration plan for the return of the American Army of Occupation on the Rhine, Secretary of War Weeks today announced that orders have been given for the return to the United States of 126 officers and 7,873 enlisted men. This will leave 372 officers and 5,217 enlisted men In Germany. No decision has been reached as to when these forces will be returned. The forces ordered home will be brought back between Nov. 15 and March 15, two transports being as signed to this work. Men having the shortest time to serve in completing their enlistment will te brought home first.

man people during their period of restoration should not be unduly burdened by the cost of maintenance. To Oct. 1, 1921, the total bill of charges Imposed upon Germany for our army of occupation roundlv was $300,000,000. The day cost works’out roughly $71,218. The German

! argument was renewed, but like most arguments seemed to get nowhere. Opponents of the new constitution Insisted the , move was nothing more than an attempt of a few superintendents and some teach- ; ers from the outlying portions of the State, aided and abetted by Indiana Cnl- - versity, to get control of the association away from the teachers, while the new | constitutionalists Insisted that as things are now Indianapolis teachers dictate about everything in sight, and that the association is little more than an Indianapolis sideshow. IRWIN TALKS ON WAR HORRORS A graphic picture of the horrors of the war of the future was painted by Will Irwin, author and war correspondent, before a large crowd of teachers at Tomlinson Hall last night. According to the speaker, whose subject was 'The Next War," science and Invention have succeeded in producing death carrying gases and devices alongside which the most formidable weapons of the world war already are obsolete. “In less than a week after war was declared In 1914," Mr. Irwin said, “the code of civilized warfare snapped like a thread. The Germans bombed I'aris, Great Britain retaliated by declaring a food blockade on Germany. Germany repudiated the search and seizure act, showing that the code of civilized warfare. like treaties, are but mere 'scraps of paper.’ “In the late war we killed only by retail. In the next war we will kill by wholesale. Whole nations will be wiped out overnight. Invisible rays may be used to shrivel up whole communities. Bacilli seems to be the most logical weapor ? death in the next conflict. Until now science has worked to decrease disease caused by germ life. Now science works to increase it for war purposes." The speaker then made a strong plea for International disarmament, and condemned the creation of a great war machine in this country which will compel other nations, already in debt up to the very limit to plunge still further In debt in order to keep pace in the armament game.

OBJECT TO TEACHERS' PENSION FUND LAW At the business session of the Indiana State Teachers' Association yesterday afternoon the report of the resolutions committee, composed of Elizabeth Murphy, Georgia Alexander, H. B. Roberts, O. H. Gre'.st, Fred Gladden and J. W. Freeman, was approved with the exception of that part favoring the present teachers’ retirement fund law. After it had been pointed out that under the present law, as now administered. It Is almost Impossible for the older teachers to go into It because of the large amounts of money required to be deposited and the short time allowed for paying In these sums, the recommendation was disapproved ulmost unanimously. A resolution favoring a tenure of office law for teachers was offered from the floor and was carried overwhelmingly The resolutions as adopted are: ’’Believing that the training of the children of our State in the art of right living and high thinking is essenttal to the perpetuation of our institutions and to the development of Intelligent citizens in a great commonwealth, we recommend the following resolutions to the members of the Indianu State Teachers' Association. “1. We indorse a previous resolution providing of the obesrvance of our State law requiring the employment of the English language as the vehicle of instruction in all the elementary schools of the State, both public and private. ”2. We indorse the Sterllng-Towner bill, now pending In the national Congress, providing for Federal support of public education in order that educational opportunities may be further equalized. "vl. We heartily approve the administration of L. N Hines as State superintendent and his increasing efforts to improve the rural schools of the State. We are pleased that he has accepted the presidency of the State Normal, because this will both conserve the interests of that institution and keep him in Indiana. We also indorse his action la the establishment of a department of rural education in the normal. “4. We congratulate Ben J. Burris upon his selection as State superintendent, and commend Governor McCray in avoiding any consideration of politics in making the appointment. “5. We hereby express our appreciation of the support given by Governor Warren f. McCray to legislation for higher standards of education and betterment of conditions affecting the teachers of the State by providing an adequate minimum salary for services rendered. . “®. We indorse the ruling of the State board of education providing fur a minimum of thirty-six weeks’ professional training beyond the four years' high school In the grades connected with com missioned high schools, and hereby recommend that this provision be extended to teachers of elementary subjects in all schools after Sept. 1,192 ft. i y ,r ®, recommend the enactment of laws to facilitate the transfer of license from other Slates to Indiana. "H. \\ e approve the new attendance law whereby children are required to remain in school for a longer period of time. , ’ , approve the consolidation of rural schools in so far as it is practicable, and we favor the standard of a commissioned high school within easy reach of every child in the State. "10. Due to the unequal distribution of mi bile utilities jttul corporate wealth, we feel that the township unit for school taxation and administration is no longer adequate, jusi. or efficient, and we strongly approve the county as the basis of local school taxation and administration. “11. We indorse the action of State Superintendent Burr's is calling a conference to discuss the work of the county and township institutes and commend any and all efforts toward their reorganization and revitalization in order that they may better serve the teachers and foster the educational welfare of the schools.

government had paid tbs United -State* on that account $33,573,658 up to Sept. 30, 1920. The amount paid sines is believed not to have reduced the aggregate lndebtt dness very materially. It him developed that Germany itself Is loath to see the American Army loave the Rhine. In that respect the Germans and the conquering allies are alone—“everybody wants our boys to otay at Coblenz,” a high oflictal of the Government explained. The officers ind men themselves would like to stay. Their “good American dollars,” with marks at their absurdly depreciated level, enable the members of the army of occupation to live In Germany as if they had contrived to fish up the legendary “Rhine j gold" and use it for their pleasure and comfort. Life In Germany, with American dollars, Is so easy and profitable that for the past two years billets with the occupying forces have been the moat coveted in the whole United States Army. Many officers and men have transferred their families to the bridgehead, for the purpose of living there and educating their children at vastly lower rates than are obtainable at home. Transports for the return of the troops w r lll become available In connection with home-bound voyages of ships which now cross the ocean at Intervals with supplies for the Army of Occupation. As rapidly as those vessels can be made available for troop-carrying purposes, the Rhine Army is to be brought home. Occasion was taken at the White House to say that the President has not yet made any choice for the American ambassadorship to Germany.—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

SISTER TELLS OF ROOSEVELT'S LIFE Tomlinson Hull was filled to capacity today for the closing general session of the Indiana Sta o Teachers' Association's annual convention, which opened in Indianapolis Thursday. Mrs. Oorinne Roose veit Robinson, sister of the late Theodore Roosevelt, was the speaker. She discussed persona', incidents of the life of Theodore Roosevelt. Mrs. Robinson told numerous humorous stories connected with Mr. Roosevelt that brought shouts of laughter and spontaneous applause from her hearers. She also told of how in his youth he had the problem of a delicate constitution and frail body to work out and how his first promise to himself was to make his body fit and keep It that way and how ho kept his promise She stressed one peculiar habit of his life, the taking of an “obstacle walk” with his family of children together with the Robinson brood and Mrs. Robinson, when the slogan of the trail was "Over or through, never around,” and how the slogan was followed oven to climbing over the top of a bathhouse at one time. She said she believed early training In “going over" was one of the things that helped the boys of both families who were all at the front to go over the top. She said Mr. Roosevelt said at one time that he had no unusual gifts, that he had merely trained his ordinary gifts to the nth degree. Mrs. Roosevelt closed her talk at the time set but asked if the audience would like to hear one more incident and the body en masse “yes,” accompanied by a round of applause and she continued, closing her remarks with an incident of her business relations with her brother and also touched on his death, relating Mr. Roosevelt's remark about the time of his death that he had made a promise to himself at the age of 21 that he would “work up to the hilt until sixty” and that whether he lived longer or passed on he had kept hie promise to himself. Mrs. Robinson also made a plea for the Roosevelt Memorial Association, which is getting in shape the Theodore Roosevelt birthplace in central New York City, to be used as a community house to carry on Americanization work. She said Indiana had thus far given more than any other Stato toward the fund. Governor Warren T. McCray Introduced Mrs. Robinson with a short talk. Donald Du Shane presided at the session. Helen Warrum Chappell of Indianapolis, formerly of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, sang a group of songs. Memorial services for members of the association who have died in the past year were conducted following the program.

NORTH DAKOTA VOTERS WARM OVER ISSUES Independent Voters Expect to Defeat Policies of Nonpartisans. FARGO, N. D., Oct. 22.—There Is net any doubt about what will happen If the voters go to the polls and express their wishes without prejudice Theodore G. Nelson, secretary of the Independent Voters' Association, said today. Nelson’s statement expressed the optimism of the Independent, forces opposing the Nonpartisan League In the recall election set for next Friday. | “The fact that the expenses of the State 1 Increased $5,000,000 in one year and that no one but those that have keys to the State Bank of North Dakota know anything about how much our State Is being kept In debt for taxpayers to make good In the future is rapidly convincing every thinking man and woman In North Dakota that Oct. 28 1* not any too soon to order Frazier, Levnke and Hagen out of office and replace them with Nestoe, Johnson and Kltehln,” Nelson said. “Nestos, Johnson and Kltehln have promised that they will Immediately on taking office, dismiss all needless State j employes and otherwise economize In the j administration of public affairs.” An argument arose hetweeen nonpartl- | sans and Independents over the laws gov- | ernlng registration of voters. Places of i registration were open In about half the counties of the State yesterday. It was learned. Other places did not open, Including Grand Forks. Independents claimed registration was not necessary If the voters had previously registered, but nonpartisans disagreed.

HARTMAN FILES 2 SUITS TO GET NAME ON TICKET (Continued From Fage One.) and (he Intention oi the commissioners to place Wllmeth's name on the ticket ns “the wrongful and unlawful acts of the defendants." HOLMES SAID TO BE IN SPENCER. Ira -M. Holmes has acted as nartman's chief legal adviser since he first was Involved In the Francis confession scandal. At Mr. Holmes' office It was reported he had gone to Spencer on legal business Hartman served written notice upon the members of the election board this morning asserting that he is the legal nominee for city Judge and demanding that his name be placed upon the ballots and voting machines. City Clerk George O. Hutsell said that, although the hoard had not discussed this move, lie believed Hartman's notice hss no efj feet and that the board will go ahead I with its announced Intention of putting i Delbert O. Wllmeth on the ticket in place of Hartman. The first word from the Hartmau camp since the city committee ousted the nominee Wednesday evening came from Mr. Holmes before he left the city. Mr Holmes called attention to sections of the primary laws of 1915 and 1917 mLktng it tbe duty of the board of election commissioners to place on the ticket the names of ail candidates duly nominated In the primary. He also pointed out a section which provides heavy penalties for failure of election officials to carry out the dntles set out in the primary law. "Thus we find," said Mr. Holmes, • that the proceedings of the city committee Wednesday night were not only highhnnded, but Illegal and criminal ns weii.” In the meantime the Republican organization 1> proceeding upon the theory that Wi.:ii< *h 1s tta nominee for city Judge and has . irfed to wage a vigorous campaign In his behalf. The Republicans were happy when tbe hoard of election commissioners helped carry out their plan by accepting the Hartman onater and Wilmoth certification from Uity Chairman Irving W. Lomaux, because they believed it relieved them of the necessity of urging voters to aeratch Hartman and vote for Thomas E. Garvin, hlg Democratic opponent. The workers feared that voters would follow their usual lnelinatlou to vote a straight ticket and In order to register disapproval of Hartman would pull tie straight Democratic lever. Republican leaders grimly awaited any suit Hartman might bring. They declared that their attorneys are fully prepared for any attack upon the committee's action, having fully Investigated the step before It was taken. Some Republicans openly declared that even If the action of the committee might be based upon any specific law they did not believe any court would want to take upon Itself tho responsibility for placing Hartman before tbe people as a candidate. Political leaders as well as attorneys are discussing the action r-sultlng In Hartman's removal and many express the opinion that If allowed to stand It will set up a precedent whereby the will of the people, as expressed In primaries, can be nullified at a single stroke by a controlled city, county or State committee. It la pointed out that hereafter If a committee or a chairman who controls his committee is dissatisfied with a nominee, the latter can be ousted and a hand-picked candidate substituted. The action recalls the scramble the Re- , publican State commltte made to get Ora Davies, present treasurer of State, j off the ticket when he was under heavy fire during the campaign last fall. Tbo best legal lights the Republicans could! summon to their aid could find no wuy to j remove Davies, in the face of Ills refusal j to resign.

Haynes Declares Judges and Others Despise ‘Dry* Laws SpeotaJ to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Publlo Ledger. WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—In an address at tha Methodist Foundry Church R. A. Haynes, prohibition commissioner, flayed the apathy of officials. Federal, State and municipal, in regard to enforcement of the Volsteod act. "As long as public officials A.ke a hostile attitude It Is going to be difficult to get Jurle* to convict,” he said. “The attitude of the Judge and the prosecuting attorney has much to do with the verdict of the Jury. In some cases I am told it Is difficult to tell whether the bootlegger or the prohibition official is on trial. “There are a few Judges who use tbetr high position to express disdain of the Volstead act. It Is time that they took the eighteenth amendment more seriously.”—Copyright, 1921, by Public Ledger Company.

FORBIDS REDS’ GATHERING AT U. S, EMBASSY (Continued From Page One.) They say he Is a well-known anarchist. Sixty letters and resolutions bearing on the Sacco-Vanzettl caae have been received at the embassy. Two threaten the | life of Herrick. One postmarked Marj settles was written In red Ink In Italian and signed with a crudely drawn red hand. Another was inscribed on black bordered paper. Forty policemen are pacing the streets around the embassy, questioning all who | would approach. Persons with packages were turned back. The newspaper, Iluraanite, published the program of Sunday's demonstration at the American embassy here. It was signed "The Committee of Action.” The ! demonstration, It states, Is to be pacific. No red flags will be carried and the marchers will abstain from uttering revolutionary cries. The slogan will be "Justice and liberty—save Sacco and Vaazetti J" French newspapers published detailed accounts of the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, em- ! phasizing Its legality and fairness to the accused Figaro said the Communists i plotted to unchain "the terror” in i France, but that their scheme would fall i because “Frenchmen aren’t Russian moiJlks.” j Gaulols charged French communists i are trying to assassinate their fellow ! countrymen to save Italian murderers Discovery of a bomb under a bench at the Place Ternes near the American em bassy coupled with the throwing of a bomb last night and the sending of a grenade to Herrick convinced police they were dealing with a well-organized, farreaching conspiracy.
