TROTSKI QUITS EXILE: SECRECY SHROUDS MOVE Wait Arrival in Outer World; Hint Crisis in Communist Ranks. 4 fCopjMght. 1839. by United Press) LONDON. Jan. 31.—The arrival of Leon Trotski In the outer world fiotti his place of exile in Russian Xurkestan was awaited with keen interest today by European governments and observers of affairs in Russia. The news that Trotski had been permitted to leave Alma-Ata, announced exclusively by the Un. ted Press last Monday, tended to be confirmed today from various points, although Reval, Riga, Berlin and ot her customary sources of Russian news which Moscow is trying to keep secret, were confused and vague about the details. ' The most authentic information received by the United Press was that Trotski with his wife and son, Leon, were en route to Constantinople and that eventually Trotski hoped to reach Berlin. It was not entirely clear whether Trotski was leaving of his own volition or was ordered out by the Soviet government. It was understood he was leaving with his own consent. A story received by the United Press in London apparently uncensored, by mail today from Moscow said: , “The Kremlin’s decision to permit the leader of the communist opposition to leave was a startling surprise, inasmuch as it had been assumed hitherto that the government preferred to have him under its control and surveillance. The Soviet’s changed attitude may be based on any or all of the following considerations: I. That Trotski in Russia Is a

more disturbing factor in the domestic situation than he would be abroad. 2. That Trotski’s opinions, 'while emanating inside the Soviet boundaries, would be weightier, both at home and abroad, than they would be if he were outside. 3. That Trotski has been acquiring the halo of a martyr while in exile, and it would be easier to offset his propaganda if he were abroad. The most serious repercussion of Trotski’s departure may be expected among the communist parties of Germany, Prance, England and elsewhere, which now are shaken by internal conflicts, many of which center around Trotski and his viewpoints. His appearance in the arena abroad probably will bring many of the conflicts to a head and result in a far-reaching split in the communist ranks abroad.

CONGRESS FOES STOKE FIRE FOR WILLEBRANDT Attorney-General's Aid to Face Scorching Quiz on Prison Activities. BY RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—Anther possible appointee to high place under the Hoover administration will come under congressional fire within a few days. She is Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney-general in charge of liquor violations, and center of most of the excitement in the presidential campaign. She has been mentioned for a judgeship or head of the prohibition bureau. The other Hoover associates subject to attack are Secretary Mellon and William J. Donovan, assistant attorney-general, mentioned for cabinet posts. For three months smoldering wrath against Mrs. Willebrandt has been banked in many a Democratic breast on Capitol hill, and it will break forth shortly after the special prison committee of the house presents a report on its survey of the federal penal system. While Representatives Boylan of New York and Bell of Georgia, minority members, propose to direct their criticism chiefly against Mrs. Willebrandt’s placing of departmental agents in Atlanta and Leavenworth penitentiaries to check on officials there, the former intends to assail her campaign speeches, her raids along Broadway before the election, and the recently abandoned use of conspiracy clause to obtain dry law indictments. Boylan, author of the resolution for the prison inquiry, agreed to drop his demand for criticism of Mrs. Willebrandt in the commit-

tee’s report. He feared that its conclusion might destroy the constructive value of the committee’s recommendations, many of which are his own. But he and Bell now plan to denounce from the floor her incarceration of “spies” in federal prisons. Previous attempts to embarrass Mrs. Willebrandt have failed. Representative Tinkham, Massachusetts wet, was prepared to quiz her when she appeared before an appropriations sub-committee some time ago. But he was held off by Representative Shreve of Pennsylvania, committee chairman, who informed him that only questions pertaining to government business would be entertained. Boylan’s fight on Mrs. Willebrandt and southern drys’ attack on Mellon may be staged early next week in the house, and possibly on the same day. Should that happen, echoes of southern Democrats’ denunciation of Mellon, a wet, hardly will have died down before an “A1 Smith Democrat” assails Mrs. Willebrandt, a dry.

HUGE ARMORY RENTALS UNDER FIREOFSENATE Investigating Group Will Press Inquiry Into Building Program. Senators Carl M. Gray, Petersburg, and French Clements, Evansville, today were drafting procedure for the senate investigation of the armory building program. Appointed by Chairman Alonzo H. Lindley, Kingman, at the first meeting of the special investigating committee Wednesday, they expect to lay their plan before the entire committee membership early next week, it w&s announced. The committee meeting was held in the offices of Lieutenant Governor Edgar D. Bush at the English hotel. All members were of the opinion that the matter should be gone into thoroughly and they may ask the senate to vote them power to summon witnesses from throughout thq, state for questioning re-

garding local armory financing and construction. The resolution committee calling for the investigation was introduced and backed by senatorial members of the state budget committee who pointed out that rentals to holding companies cost the state about $350,000 a year and armory debts will amount to more than $2,500,000 within the year. The holding companies, building the armories in co-operation with the armory board, are financed by the Peoples State bank and the building done by the Ostrom Realty and Construction Company, one of the bank’s interests, it was pointed out. At the first committee meeting it was shown that the state is paying about SI,OOO a day for armories in which national guardsmen meet about twice a month to drill. This is aside from the $445,560 annual appropriation asked in the budget of Adjutant-General William H. Kershner for the land army and $38,000 for the naval militia. “It looks like someone got off on the wrong foot,” Lindley commented at the committee meeting, where some figures were submitted showing rental charges to the state for armories. Other members of the committee are Senators Denver C. Harlan, Richmond, and Charles R. Morris, Salem.

GENERAL GRIME SURVEY TO BE AIMOFHOOVER Check on Prohibition Would Be Widened to Include All Lawlessness. BY RAY TUCKER, Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. The federal government’s first national investigation of crime may be conducted during the Hoover administration, if the President-elect’s ideas aro adopted by congress, in disposing of senatorial demands for funds for a prohibition inquiry and more effective dry law enforcement. Broadening of nis original proposal for a prohibition survey is desired by Hoover, according to house leaders, who are preparing to resist the senate amendments to the deficiency bill. The new inquiry, according to them, would be a natural outgrowth of any intensive study of prohibition. It would constitute a social, po-

litical, and economic inventory of the effect ot the dry law* over nine years. The apparent increase of crime since prohibition would be studied. It also is felt that inclusion of the general subject of crime in the proposed commission’s task would tend to dissipate the growing impression that the federal government’s chiet job is to enforce the dry laws. It Is said to be Hoover’s idea that the government’s relation to the problem of crime and enforcement should be placed in better perspective, and that this method would accomplish that. Majority leader Tilson hinted at this plan in opposing the Glass amendment appropriating $250,000 for a dry survey and the Harris amendment for an additional $24,000,000 for prohibition enforcement,. Acceptance of these amendments, it is pointed out, would commit the commission to a limited field of investigation.” Hoover wants his hands entire! free in attacking the question ot crime, as is evidenced by his followers’ bitter criticism of the Har-ris-Glass proposition.
