WORLD SHUNS TROTSKI EXILE ON LONELY ISLE Man Without Country, Once Powerful Leader, Is 111 and Friendless. BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Sfrricr Writer LONDON, Oct. 7.—The doors of the nations remain closed to lonely, ailing, spade-bearded Leon Trotski. The march of the years and the growth of the Bolshevist movement from a radical theory to a recognizable form of government, have not lessened foreign coiftitries’ fears of the once-dynamic man who, with Lenin, ruled Russia after the revolution. The recent action of Czechoslovakia in refusing admittance to Trotski has added another to the list of powers that have barred him and made him

famous as the modern counterpart of "The Man Without a Country.” Since Sta 1i n made himself the uncontested master of Russia, Trotski has been living in exile in the dull Prinkipo Islands near Istanbul, Turkey. Stalin’s agents, after having taken Trotski into exile in a

Trotski

remote village in Turkestan, still considered him dangerous to their boss. So they booted him out in 1929 and Mustapha Kemal, president of Turkey, allowed him to live in Prinkipo. Trotski Is Sick Man The climate there is bad, life is dull and the amenities few. And Trotski is a sick man. Although only 53, he looks years older. His hair is going gray. He is twisted with rheumatism. He has the gout. He also has chronic colitis. When Trotski landed in Prinkipo, | he at once set about trying to get permission to live elsewhere. First he applied to Germany. He did so because German doc- ; tors had in former years treated him for his many ills. The oncearrogant head of the. Red army, which he had built, applied to the Germans in most humble terms. Guaranteed He’d Be Harmless He guaranteed he would live in complete isolation outside of Berlin, w’ould in no case present himself at public meetings, and in his writings would conform strictly to the regulations of German laws on the subject. The governmental officials charged with the affair said they did not think Trotski was so sick that he absolutely needed German doctors and German waters. He wired back he was willing to submit to an examination by any medical commission they chose to name and to sign a written engagement to leave Germany as soon as his cure was finished. Germany was adamant. No visa would be granted him. Rejected by Norway Next Trotski applied to Norway. There was a big debate in the I national parliament. The head of ! the surety police expressed grave fears that Trotski might be 1 assassinated. So Norw’ay turned him down. He turned to France. The French government said the expulsion order, whereby he had been sent out of France, was still on the books. Then he turned to England, famous as a country which has given asylum to political exiles. Besides, a Labor government was in power. But J. R. Clynes, Labor home secretary, refused to let Trotski come to England. As Trotski bitterly put it : "Europe and the United States without a visa! These continents boss the other three. So then Leon Trotski lives on a planet without a visa."

FAST PROGRESS MADE ON PHONE BUILDING Temporary Wooden Walkways Removed Around New Structure. Temporary wooden walkways for the protection of pedestrians during construction of the new Indiana Bell Telephone Company building have been dismantled, giving observers a clear view of the new structure. With removal of the walks, paving a strip on both the Meridian and New York streets sides of the building is under way. The curb lines have been set back five feet at the company's expense. Outside work was rushed so sidewalks could be laid and streets widened before winter. Much interior work remains to be completed in the new building. All offices will not be occupied before December. Several floors of the building have been completed and now' are occupied by various departments. The accounting department, which occupies the entire fifth floor? moved into the new building in July. Other floors now occupied fully or in part are the second, third, fourth and sixth. turns”againstToover W. C. Durant "Like Thousands of Other Republicans," He Says.

Ethel Merman, torch-singing lead of "Humpty-Dumpty,” which had a great fall in Pittsburgh. BY GILBERT SWAN NEA Service Writer VIEW YORK, Oct. 7.—So this was to be a dull, languid and trying theatrical season, w f as it? Well, it’s just a few w’eeks under way, and 75 per cent of the darkened playhouses either have been booked or tied up by deposits. And there': more good entertainment to the square block than develops oftimes in an entire year. Nothing important yet, mind you, but plenty of amusemerft and good theater and some of the best casting, acting and general production the Big Street has seen in recent years. There’s the skilled showmanship of George Abbott and Philip Dunning, for instance. No better mechanical craftsmen in the theater; with almost a genius for staging and whipping a play into action. As instanced some seasons ago in "Broadway,” and now repeated in a w’eaker play, "Lilly Turner.” This is a melodrama comedy romance of back-stage life in a drab medicine show. tt tt tt WHATEVER might have been the merits of this production, it becomes important for its reintroducion of Dorothy Hall, as lovely a blonde eyeful as Broadway possesses, and James Bell, a juvenile who just about heads the list of youngsters. Miss Hall, w’hose ability as an actress was not even suspected, is one of the former music show beauties who married a rich man. When Peggy Fears, another exchorine w r ho wed a millionaire, put on "Child of Manhattan," Dorothy Hall got her first dramatic break and bowled the critics over. She does it again. So does young Mr. Bell. Also the Messrs. Dunning and Abbott join the growing experiment of authors who produce and manage their own plays. Elmer Rice tried this, and with great success. The third party, and part backer, is Joseph Bickerton Jr., one of Broadway's more important figures, since he is the lawyer who handles all negotiations between playwright and producers. tt tt tt IN Pittsburgh, a. complete upset of form was registered by “Humpty-Dumpty,” a music show’ of which great things nad been expected. There w T as as head of the cast, Ethel Merman, the blues singer, and quite a list of stars. Lew Holtz, a young man w’ho has been master of ceremony around towrn in the vaudeville circuits, w’as reported largely responsible for the flop—not be-

STRATOSPHERE ROCKET EXPLODES IN TRIAL Had Been Designed as Forerunner of Atlantic Mail Carrier. By United Press KOENIGSBURG, East Prussia, Oct. 7.—Johann Winkler's stratosphere rocket, designed as a forerunner of trans-Atlantic rocket mail through the upper atmosphere, exploded a few seconds after it w’as started on a trial ascent on the Frische-Nehrung peninsula on the Baltic Thursday. The rocket was wrecked, but no one w’as hurt. Winkler left for Berlin to resume his experiments. BOSTON MAN TO SPEAK State Universalists’ Convention Is Opened in City. The Rev. Roger F.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Jean Arthur, late of Hollywood, is attracting attention among the season’s ingenues in “The Man Who Regained His Head.’’ DeSylva was part of ohe famous song-writing group of DeSylva, Henderson and Brown. Since something like SIOO,OOO had been put into the show, latest reports are that a new’ comic has been sent for and the show is being rewritten. AL WOODS, who has been trying to stage a comeback for several years, somehow got a notion that one of the old-time bedroom farces for which he once w’as famed, could be dragged out of the past. * So he came into town with a boudoir farce, "The Stork Is Dead.” Alas, so is the old bedroom stuff. What was intended as naughty and funny turned out to be annoying and boring to the New r York audiences. As one critic put it, “The audience clapped their hands to their ears more often than together.” Demonstrating again how archaic a stage pattern can become after a few brief years.

ROUTED BY BULLETS Thieves Kill Chickens in Grocery; Escape.

FREE OWNER OF 'BEER' RESORT ON NORTH SIDE Depression Club Trial Results in Suspended Sentence; Discharge Five. The Depression Club, northside beer drinking resort raided several days ago by police dry squads, paid dividends today in form of freedom for five suspected dry law violators and a suspended sentence for a sixth. Miss Alice Laßosa, proprietor and manager of the club, located at 3771 North Illinois street, was convicted by Municipal Judge William H. SheafTer of a charge of blind tiger and given a suspended sentence of thirty days in the Indiana woman's prison and a fine of SIOO and costs. Others freed by SheafTer after defense attorneys argued that the search warrant w r as read by the wrong policeman, are Miss Sarah West, 2306 Prospect street, waitress; Joan Morris and Joan McCarthy, both of 306 East Eleventh street; Richard Ruske, address unknown, and Alfred Smith, 556 West Thirtieth street, all patrons. The club, popular night gathering place for young persons, yielded only a small quantity of liquor, according to testimony of police. Attorneys for the six persons failed in an attempt to quash the charges by arguing that the search w’arrant, issued to Sergeant Wayne Baer, was read during the raid by Lieutenant John Sheehan. This, they argued, constitutes a violation of search warrant stat tes.
