BRITAIN LASHES AT REDS' WAR PLOT CHARGES Ambassador at Moscow Is Ordered to Protest on ‘Reflections/ By United Press LONDON, Dec. I.—The British ambassador at Moscow has been instructed to “take exceptions to reflections cast on the British government” in the course of the Soviet trial of eight counter-revolution-aries, Arthur Henderson, foreign secretary, told the house of commons today. The French government already had protested and asked an official Russian explanation of charges that French statesmen and the French general staff plotted an interventionist war against Russia. The British citizens named at the trial Included Winston Churchill, former chancellor of the exchequer, and Sir Henri Deterdlng. ‘Talent’ for Confession BY EUGENE LYONS Ignited Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW. Dec. I.—Hope that several of the eight engineers on trial as counter-revolutionaries may escape the nation-wide demand for the death penalty obviously has spurred the defendants in their startling confessions of an alleged vast international plot against the Soviet. As the trial moved into its final stages today, the scholarly defendants still were sustained by that dim hope which has survived the relentless attack of the state prosecutor, Nicholas Krilenko; the coldness of the four judges, two of whom are simple factory workers, and the tumultous clamor of millions of Communists for their blood. Men ‘Morally Bankrupt* The phenomena of the trial, with its reckless confessions and the determined efforts of the eight prisoners to aid the state in piling up limitless evidence, are rooted in various other factors peculiar to the Soviet Russian scene. It has seemed apparent, for instance, that the men are politically and morally bankrupt—with no idealism left to aid them. Furthermore, the defendants are victims of profound disillusionment and the “talent for confession” peculiar to many overcultured Russian intellectuals. Most of the spectators, who have attended the sessions every day for a week, manifestly have been convinced that the confessions of the men have some basis in truth. Doubtful of Plotting Various competent spectators have ' remarked that it would be almost impossible for them to invent the vast details of their plottting and tell the story with such an appearance of sincerity as has been apparent at the court. Several diplomats attending the sessions first called the trial a “frameup,” but today they said they considered it an “exaggeration.” Such disillusiomnent is not new in Russia, nor in the defendants, who describe how they were growing more and more doubtful of their plotting in recent months. The Russian intellectual's ability to confess himself freely may be observed everywhere, even in a tram car where he can find someone to listen.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

LAWYER MUST REPLY QUICKLY ON DISBARMENT Friday Last Day for Action by Olin R. Holt at Kokomo. E.y Times Special KOKOMO, Ind., Dec. I.—Final disposition of proceedings to disbar Olin R. Holt, Kokomo attorney, is scheduled for this week in Howard Circuit court. A rule absolute has been entered for Holt ,to answer on or before Friday. John Marshall and Lloyd McClure, commissioned by Circuit Judge Cripe to prosecute the disbarment case, obtained the rule after following the usual'practice in such cases of first asking a rule to answer without a date being set. Fails to Recognize Case Holt’s failure to take cognizance of the case caused the action which will bring the matter to a speedy issue. So far Holt’s only action has been to enter the appearance of his law firm as counsel in his case. Holt is facing an eighteen months’ prison term for conspiracy to violate the federal prohibition law. He was convicted in district court at Indianapolis, and carried the case to the United States Circuit court of Appeals at Chicago where the conviction was affirmed. Then he announced he would take the case to the United States Supreme court.

Although Holt has not made any reply m court to the disbarment case, in published statements he has taken the stand that the action is premature, because his case has not been finally, disposed of, and cites his intention to appeal to the supreme court.

WORKERS READY TO KEEP STATE HIGHWAYS OPEN Gravel, Cinders and Ashes Will Be Used on Slippery Paving, State highway commission maintenance workers are prepared to make safer automotive traffic this winter during periods of sleet, snow and ice, and the most hazardous places on all state mileage will be inspected daily, commissioners announce. Under the direction of A. H. Hinkle, maintenance superintendent, field forces are storing piles of gravel, cinders, stone chips and ashes along the steelier grades and at curves, to be applied when surfaces become slippery. Past experience shows the stragetic places for locating these piles, and within a very short time grades and curves often impassible because of ice and snow, can be made comparatively safe with careful driving. Chloride Used Sparingly Calcium chloride also will be ued in large quantities, Hinkle said, as it is ideal for reducing a slippery surfaas, but can not be used in great quantity because of posibla damage to pavement. One hundred pounds of the chloride can be applied on three yards of pavement surface which has been treated with cinders, and will hold and produce a nonslippery surface. Ashes on bare pavement on very steep grades even when not icy are very satisfactory to reduce skidding. Sand Improves Gravel Where gravel and crushed stone are used, the gravel contains a large percentage of sand. Mixed with the stone are considerable quantities o$ small chips and dust. Under no circumstances, says thJ maintenance engineer, should clay be used, for in itself it produces a slippery surface. Highway commission forces are prepared to keep traffic moving throughout the year. Nearly 150 snow plows are stationed in the snow belt in the north part of the state and crews are ready to man them at the slighest notice. Commission forces last year were forced to open snow-blocked roads in the LaPorte, Michigan City, Gary and Chicago vicinities as late as March.
