DISORDER, PARADES MARK MAY DAY IN RESTLESS WORLD Troops Massed in United States to Cope With Communist Threats of Violence; 25,000 in N. Y. March. GIANT GERMAN HALL IS SET AFIRE Rioting: Occurs in Many European Nations as Labor Holiday Is Celebrated; Eight Hurt in Cuba. Rt United Pres* May day, the international labor holiday, was celebrated throughout America and a great part of a restless world today with widespread disorder and threats of more serious disturbances at nightfall. Troops and police massed in the United States as well as in almost every country to cope with Communist threats of violence. One of the most serious events occurred in Nazi Germany, where Communists are severely repressed. Nevertheless, malcontents succeeded in setting afire and destroying the great “Singer Ilall” in Augsburg, a coup of violence compared only to the famous firing of the Reichstag.

In Austria, extremists fired on a group of Italian motorcyclists en route to Vienna to take part in the May day celebration. In the United States, national guardsmen patrolled the KansesMissouri border to prevent a threatened invasion of Missouri by disgruntled Kansas miners. Strong forces of poliep were marshalled in New York. Chicago and Radon at Communist annual demonstration. Argentina was under a state of siege, with a general holiday in effect. Censorship was established in Chile, w here serious rioting occurred, with one dead and thirteen injured at last reports. Paris Riots Renewed. Despite a, vast mobilization of troops in Paris, disorder broke out there. Communists tried to erect, street barricades and hold parades, but, were put down sternly by the police. Thousands of workers were out in factories. Elsewhere in France, parades were held, telegraph lines cut and other acts of sabotage committed. Spain, under a state of alarm, had a national holiday. Apparently there was no more serious disorder than has been occurring almost daily recently because of labor unrest and strikes. Cuba was extremely uneay nut quiet up to noon. ThP United States and other foreign embassies and legations were heavily guarded. Russia held a vast parade and military display in Moscow's Red Square, but naturally there was no disorder under the strict Communist regime. Quebec Ts Danger Spot Demonstratio \s were held in Japan, with some arrests madp. Mexico. Costa Rica. Panama and other Central and South American Republics observed the day with parades and speeches. Northern Quebec was the danger spot for riots in Canada as workmen in the mining towns of Rouyn and Amos prepared to carry out a demonstration contrary to police orders.

New York Celebrates Fv f nitrd rrt** NEW YORK. May I.—The greatest mass demonstration of Communists and sympathizers in New York history surged over lower Manhattan today and pressed against powerful police lines separating the demonstrators from a throng of traditional foes, the Socialists. A May day celebration as gigantic and covering more ground than any in recent years drew around 25.000 marchers to its ranks and attracted tens of thousands of spectators. The Communists lampooned the “new deal." Lower Broadway was a mass of color. Red predominated in every marcher's uniform. There were red skirts, red sweaters and berets. red scarves and badges, even red stockings on some of the short-skirted ofrhe bobbed haired marchers flashed along the Manhattan main street. The marchers carried pasters and banners. They amused themselves by chanting war cries. "Down with Hitler!'' 'Down with Roosevelt!" "We want Lenin!" ' To hell with Fascism!” "To hell with the NR A!" 8 Hurt in Havana K>i CwifrW HAVANA. Cuba. May I.—Heavy firing broke out today during a parade of 25.000 May day demonstrators, including women and children.

SEEK CLEWS IN DILLINGER HUNT U. S. Agents Facing ‘Blank Wall' in Search for Mobsters. By I nitrd Press CHICAGO. May I.—Mocking still Hip thousands of federal, state and local officers who for eight weeks have joined forces against them. John DUlinger and his crew of killers had eluded their pursuers again today after disarming and raucously insulting three policemen of suburban Bellwood. Members of the man-handled squad were positive in identifying i heir assailants as black-browed Dillinger and three of his most feared henchmen. “It w’as Dillinger. all right.” declared patrolman Harry Wayland. “I’ve studied his photograph on 'wanted' circulars enough to recognize him any place. He's shaved his mustache and is heavier, but I knew him." Wayland. who was slugged with the barrel of a machine gun w'hen he reached for his owm revolver, apparently was supported in his identification by discovery a few hours later near Chillicothe. 111., of a grey V-8 Ford sedan w'ith bullet riddled instrument panel. The four men who disarmed Wayland and his companions drove a similar car. Aside from a general pointing of the search to the vicinity of Chicago, federal department of justice agents admitted today they w'ere without even a definite plan to further their efforts. Melvin Purvis, chief of the department of justice forces here, candidly admitted he had little information upon w’hich to prosecute the search which has led from the eastern seaboard to northwestern Minnesota.

Dillinger Home Raided by U.S. Agents, City Police State Officers Not Informed: Captain Leach Charges Federal Men Are Jealous: Outlaw Still Missing. Armed with submachine guns and protected bv bullet proof vests, a large raiding party of federal agents and Indianapolis police last night raided the home of John Dillinger at Mooresville.

Acting on information said to have been supplied by the department of justice agents, squads under Lieutenants Leo Troutman and Michael Hynes swooped down on the farmhouse and succeeded only in disturbing the serenity of the fugitive's father, who was busy repairing a fence when the raiding parties arrived. No trace of the No. 1 desperado was found, nor could Mr. Dillinger Sr. shed any light on his notorious son's whereabouts. The police and federal agents made a thorough search of the farmhouse and outbuildings as they looked for Dillinger. Captain Matt Leach of the state police charged that the federal agents had failed to co-operate with his department in last night's raid and other sorties previously made lor Dillinger. State police headquarters. Captain Leach revealed, also had been • tipped” that ( DiK linger was at his father's house but when they arrived, found only the federal agents and Indianapolis police at the farm. Captain Leach asserted that failure of the federal agents to co-op-erate with state and local police is due to petty jealousy. Tne federal agents want all the credit if and when Dillinqpr is captured,” Leach charged. "If the department of justice continues to operate in this way," he added, "by sending roving bands of heavily armed guards throughout the countnr without informing state police or police in their jurisdiction, somebody is going to get hurt.

‘Test Tube’ Clinics Next Doctors Discuss Possibility of Central Baby-Mak-ing Laboratory.

By I nitrd Press NEW YORK. May L—Childless married couples and young men sought, information today regarding New York's test-tube babies and physicians discussed the possibility of a central laboratory to further the practice of artificial impregnation. The interest was aroused yesterday by disclosure that more than a dozen test-tube babies live in New; York.

A proposal for a clinic, it was learned, w'as placed be•••marriage consultation center of the community churc months aeo and met with the support of at least one of its medical directors. A clinic, it. was pointed out at, the time, would reduce the rost, of guaranteed sperm for artificial impregnation and gradually build up a corps of certified donors. Dr. Frances Seymour, woman specialist, who has brought three test-tube babies into the w'orld in the last two years, also approved the idea. "It is practical,” she said. “It would save many childless families from unhappiness and even divorce: and by making the public accustomed to artificial impregnation would make it easier for unmarried women to have eugenic babies.” Dr. lago Oolston of the academy of medicine said that, one of the foremost gynecologists of the country had considered the idea, but had given it. up because of legal and other difficulties. The physician also pointed out that, sperm has been preserved in good condition for nearly a week and suggested that a clinic devoted to scientific investigation might discover means of keeping it longer, perhaps even for years. This possibility carried to its most fantastic extreme would permit civilization to preserve the sperm of geniuses and allow' women to have eugenic children by them posthoumously.

Roosevelt Swings Toward More Orthodox Monetary Policy; Experimental Program Is Unsatisfactory

(Copvricht, 1934. by United Press) WASHINGTON. May I.—The administration has swung toward more orthodox and tried methods as regards monetan- policy, a high official told the United Press today. The new program is opposite to the experimental money policy represented by such technique as the recent gold price scheme, which has not been entirely satisfactory in lifting the level of domestic commodity prices. Official intimations of the shift away from more experimental plans was borne out by several recent and prospective monetary developments. The reported change is believed to have resulted from the not too satisfactory effects on commodify prices of the recent boost in gold prices from $20.67 to 535. as advocated bv Professor George Warren. a presidential monetary advisor. Professor Warrer, has been seen less frequently in Washington and

ARMED GUARDS CHARGED WITH TERRORIZING CITY STRIKERS IN MILL ZONE

KIDNAPED GDI 10 DE FREED. KSMS'SAY Payment of Ransom Is Awaited, Reliable Source Asserts. (Copr right, 1934. by United Press) TUCSON, Ariz., May I.—June Robles, 6, granddaughter of a wealty retired cattleman, will be released by her kidnapers within two or three days upon the payment of $15,000 ransom money, the United Press was informed v by a reliable source today. All police activities, including those of federal department of justice agents, were suspended to facilitate negotiations. Bernabe Robles, the grandfather, was assured that the girl was safe and being held captive near Tucson, during a secret thirty-hour trip he made into Mexico, the United Press informant said. The ransom money will be paid, it w-as said, at a secret rendezvous across the border in Sonora. One condition of the purported agreement w’as that the kidnapers be guaranteed a cessation of all police activities. The 73-year-old cattle baron scarcely had returned from his secret mission last night before Joseph Dunn of Los Angeles, in charge of twelve federal agents here, announced they w’ould be withdrawn from the case. Police and county authorities previously had surrendered jurdisdiction to Dunn. Contact Is Reported The sudden withdrawal of the investigators was construed as evidence that Robles had established a contact with the kidnapers, who awaited only assurance of protection before surrendering the child. The new developments w'ere accompanied by a direct appeal to the kidnapers from June's father. Fernando Robles, asking them to act in good faith in their negotiations. To fnrstall a hoax, he demanded a piece of his daughter's dress. Tn an open letter his first public statement since the little girl was abducted last, Wednesday by a dark man. the father said: “To the person or persons who have my daughter June: “I am ready and willing to follow’ any and all instructions received by me so that my little girl June will be returned to me safely and unharmed. I have requested Ihe local, county, state and federal officers to withdraw entirely, which they have agreed to do. so that we can enter into negotiations successfully. Asks Four Questions “I have requested and request in this message, that all rewards that have been offered be withdrawn and that all persons refrain from interfering with my attempts to contact you and secure by child. In order that I may be certain that I am dealing with the proper parties and that my daughter is alive. I request that I be furnished a piece of her dress and her answer to the following questions: “What do you do with your bunnies in the morning "What do you call Cornev? “What is the name of Bettina's maid? "Where is your little box with the key in it? “Please take good care of my baby. “Sincerely, (Signed) ‘‘FERNANDO A.

4. Indications that no further experimental boosts will be made in the government's $35 per ounce bid price for gold which may indicate no further reductions at thus time in the gold content of the dollar. 5. Setting in readiness of the government's $2,000,000,000 exchange stabilization fund through which it may be passible for the administration bettir to control domestic commodity prices without resort to more experiments. Establishment of the exchange fund followed the successful operation of a similar fund set up two years ago by Great Britain. The latter country has been able to maintain a steady commodity price level partly through use of the fund in guiding foreign exchange quotations. The shift, it was believed, would not necessarily occasion any change in the administration's objective of raising domestic commodity prices

By United Press NEW YORK. May 1— Miss Grace Marie Burk of Indianapolis, arrived today on the Westernland. indignant at the treatment accordsd Stewart Donnelly, international congdence man. in France. Donnelly, Indianapolis man. who served a year in a French prison for swindling' and was turned over to American authorities, will arrive Thursday to face a charge of defrauding James Kennedy, retired shipping man, of $16,000 in 1931. Miss Burk, an attractive blonde, took quick offense w'hen asked if it were true Donnelly knew' something about the Lindbergh ransom money. “I don't care who said it.” she snapped. “He know's nothing about the Lindbergh case and it is ridiculous to say that. ‘He was treated terribly in that prison. When he came out he was almost a shadow'. He had lost sixty pounds. I took his clothes and things to the jail but they wouldn’t let me in. So I packed all his stuff in my bags and brought it along.”

JAPAN IGNORES U. S. PROTEST Nippon Reiterates Program to Bar Interference in China. By United Press TOKIO. May I.—Japan was revealed today as standing firm against “selfish” foreign interference in China, despite representations by the United States and Great Britain. Publication of thp statement made to Koki Hirota, Japanese foreign minister, by American Ambassador Joseph Clark Grew, revealing the United States’ stand on treaty rights, w'as countered here with publication of the answ'er Mr. Hirota made to Mr. Grew'. The answer w'as revealed today by the now' famous foreign office spokesman, Eiji Amau. Mr. Hirota. he announced, said not only to Ambassador Grew, but, to British Ambassador Sir Francis Lindlev: ‘ Japan can not ignore any action which threatens the peace and order of China in any manner. “Because of her special geographical position in eastern Asia, Japan is the most deeply concerned nation as regards the peace and order of this section of the world. “Accordingly. Japan can not remain a mere spectator if any third country fails to take into consideration the facts mentioned and intends to utilize its relations with China in the execution of policies based on selfishness.” This seemed to be the final word in a critical diplomatic situation w'hich caused Secretary of State Cordell Hull to instruct Ambassador Grew’ to make his friendly but uncompromising statement regarding treaty rights. Japan published Mr. Hirota’s statement after publication of Mr. Grew's instructions, but it w'as not made clear which actually spoke first..

Dickens ’ Inspiration Is Revealed in Love Letters Times to Start Exclusive Feature Tomorrow; Heart of Great Artist Bared.

close to the 1926 levels nor would it necessarily denote any change in President Roosevelt's ultimate objective of a “managed currency,” or one that would retain comparatively equal purchasing power from year to year. On the contrary, the United Press was told, a more orthodox money policy might contribute to rising prices by restoration of confidence. which in turn would further aid in increasing business and employment. Since April 19. 1933. when the gold standard was abandoned by the United States, to last week, the wholesale commodity price index of 784 commodities as compiled by the department of labor has risen only 13 per cent, from 60 to 73. In the same period, the gold content of the American dollar was reduced 40 per cent from 25.8 grains to 15 5-21 grains.

Police Reported to Be Standing By Passively as Men Are Menaced With Shotguns; Await Mediator. JUSTICE OF PEACE IS ANGERED Morrissey Can Not Be Reached for Comment; Newspaper Man Ordered From Scene by Officers. Chief Mike Morrissey could not be reached for comment as reports of armed men, alleged to be in the employ of Real Silk hosiery mills, roving the streets of Indianapolis, menacing strikers with shotguns and even threatening a citizen who had not connection with the labor trouble, reached police headquarters. Meanwhile, strikers and company officials, anxiously awaited the appearance of P. A. Donahue, federal labor expert, who was ordered here to attempt a conciliation of the strike. One report was that Mr. Donahue actually is in Indianapolis now making a secret investigation.

City official?, who refused to be quoted, reported that orders had been given to police to disarm both sides in the labor trouble. It also was said that a load of bricks had been taken forcibly from a group of strikers, which they are alleged to have threatened to use against workers at the mills. Reports of gunplay and threats by the guards, who were, reported to be riding 1n an automobile protected w’ith heavy w'ire screening, came, as police, previously removed from school crossings to protect the hosiery mill property, stood by passively. Vehement denial of the authority of the armed guards, to state that they w'ere legally constituted authorities of Warren township, came from Justice of the Peace Thomas S.

nell's parents would not consent to ner marriage with an obscure newspaper reporter. The romance died abruptly to be reopened when tile two lovers were married to other persons and were the parents of children. Rich in the world's experience, the two exchanged letters, confiding to each other their philosophies and whims. Rarely before has the heart of a great artist been so revealed as in these letters. In them Dickens states that he believes his early love for Maria Beadnell was a turning point in his career and provided the impetus for the burst of energy, work and application which he displayed to cerate “Pickwick Papers,” his great quixotic and humorous work. In them we see. Dickens at full maturity responding to the love of Maria with a warmth which brushed aside an interval of two decades. They record one of the great love stories of history-more realistic, romantic and dramatic than any novel Dickens himself ever wrote.

I would like to have | the men who have made these as- | sertions brought, before me in court | and get to the truth of this affair." “We’ll Kill You!” Other justices of the peace in surrounding townships, denied with i equal vehemence, that they had j authorized guards to act in the name : of i he townships, at the mills. The alleged armed guards appeared among mill strikers at three points in the city today, where they are alleged to have threatened violence. Verlp Cox of 4001 East Washington street, a striker, reported that he was stopped at Massachusetts avenue and North street, by four armed men in an “aimored car” who said they were guards. “We’ll kill you.” one of the men told Cox as they menaced him with their guns. “We’ll hit you on the head with , these guns," another rough looking | guard is alleged to have stated. Four Men Are Armed First report of the armed guards riding through the streets came when a group of strikers were stopped at Michigan and East j streets by four men in an automobile. The men were armed with j rifles and shotguns and rode in an ; “armored" car. Descending from the car, the men. | alleged to be company guards, are reported to have poked their firearms at Arnold Fullem, a striker, of 16 Berry avenue, and O. B. Morgan, I also a striker, whose address could not be learned. Morgan and Fullem cowered against a building as the rifles were placed near their chests. “Can’t you take it?” one* of the armed guards is reported to have asked tauntingly. “We're going to make you folks in Indianapolis take it." another guard is alleged to have said. Fullem became incensed at this treatment. Afterward, he told a Times reporter that he and his companions were walking peaceably along the street when the alleged incident took place. ‘I Can Take It’ “I can tat*, if.” Fullem said he told the armed guards. "But I’m not going to take it from your sort. I am a citizen of Indianapolis and own a home here. I served in France during the war and was wounded. I believe I. too. have some rights in this city.” Later, the same armed guards were reported to have stopped a ! group at North street and Massa- : chusetts avenue. In the latter group was a salesman who later told police and a reporter for The Times that he never had worked for Real Silk and had no connection in any way with the. labor trouble. j The salesman, who asked that hijname be withheld, told the Tim<*s j reporter that he was jerked from his car by the guards. He protested loudly to several policemen standing nearby, but they refused to come to his assistance. Strikers who were assembled near ! the salesman's automobile roughly ! were ordered to disperse by the armed men. Standing in a doorway in Walnut | street reporting these incidents was Heze Clark, police reporter for The Times. Clark was talking to a shop keeper. A policeman, later identified as patrolman Walter Gibson, ordered the reporter to “beat it.” "Y'ou’ll Have to Get Out” The reporter protested that he was standing in the public streets : and not creating a disturbance. Furthermore, he pointed out that his police badge entitled him to ga through ‘‘police and fire lines wherever formed.’ The policeman shoved him and ordered him away. The reporter then appealed to Sergeant Clifford Richter, in charge of the squad surrounding the mills. “What is this, martial law?** Clark demanded. “I don't know what it is.” the sergeant responded. ‘“All I know is that you’ll have to get out of here.” When the shop keeper appealed to ; the reporter to move, fearing police reprisals, Clark left the scene
