Bei]

The international committee which has charge of maintaining the status quo of Tangier, internationalized port in Morocco, held wo meetings yesterday, the second one at 10 p. m., to consider the situation as it has developed in rebelheld Spanish Morocco. Fear is expressed frankly that unless a neutrality agreement is

reached, the Spanish revolt might

precipitate a debacle in all Europe— Hitler and Mussolini, Nazi and Fas-

Hitler Awaits Reply

- on Demand Sent Spain

By United Press BERLIN, Aug. 8.—Fuehrer Adolf Hitler will decide on possible further measures to protect Germans in Spain after negotiation with the Spanish government, a foreign office spokesman said today. Germany has demanded damages of an unspecified amount for the killing of seven Germans, the spokesman said. The exact amount, he added, is to be a matter of negotiation because it can not be set until the details of the victims’ personal affairs and salaries are ascertained. Denying reports that Germany had decided to make a naval demonstration off Barcelona today, the spokesman said that the reports “constitute an attempt to disturb our policy and cast suspicion on the sincerity of our declaration that we adhere to a policy of non-interven-on.” In denying the reports the spokesman said that Joachim Von Ribbentrop, Hitler's adviser on foreign affairs, did not telephone to the British Foreign Office\regarding a naval demonstration. Baron Von Neurath, foreign minister, received Andre FrancoisPoncet, French ambassador, last night and told him that Germany would accept in principle the French suggestion for a neutrality agreement, provided however that all nations remain strictly neutral,

Claims Slain Germans Had Fled From Nazis

By United Press PARIS, Aug. 8.—Mumanite, the Communist newspaper organ, asserted today that four Germans, whose deaths at Barcelona precipitated an international crisis, were refugees from the Nazis and died fighting the Fascist rebels as volunteers in the Workers’ Militia. The Catalan Central Militia Committee denied. all German charges regarding the killings, Humanite said, and attributed them

| to a design to provoke a cause for war with the Spanish government.

Landon-Roosevelt Conference on

Drought to Highlight Campaign|

Republican Nominee to Attend Parley of Governors With President as Executive of Kansas.

BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Staff Correspondent

TOPEKA, Kas, Aug. 8.—A meeting of President Roosevelt and Gov. Alf M. Landon in Iowa City early next month promised today to provide a high spot in the presidential campaign despite the desire of both candidates to emphasize drought relief rather than politics.

Friends of the Republican nominee believed at first glance that the proposed conference of Western Governors with the President could not escape being viewed, indirectly at least, in the light of political affairs because it unavoidably will put the two candidates on the same national stage. Landon himself will make every effort to keep politics out of the

conference, just as President Roosevelt insisted that campaign considerations must not enter into his tour of the drought area. But the views of the two men on the vital national problem confronting the conferences have been em-

-phasized in recent weeks and will

necessarily form the background of interest in their meeting.

Attend as Governor

Associates of the Governor pointed out that he will go to the meeting as the chief executive of Kansas concerned with "anyieing of benefit to Kansas.”

In addition, he will have completed his first campaign tour of the Eastern states, which will include scores of five-minute stops at towns and cities scattered over a wide farm belt area and will have

made three major addresses in|-

which the nation will have had an opportunity to become better acquainted with his views on national problems, His attitude toward the drought problem already has sharply illustrated by his successful fight to get emergency freight rates for feed and water sent to Kansas farms and—even mere strikingly— by his appeal to the state’s business and civic groups to co-operate with livestock owners in a “neighborly” campaign to save the Kansas herds.

Pledges Co-operation

“If there is any meeting at any time of benefit to Kansas, I will attend as Governor,” was Gov. Landon’s comment on news dispatches telling of the President’s proposed conference. “Kansas has co-oper-ated in every instance with the Federal government and all of its agencies dealing with any emergency or relief measures.” Although his comment on the

x o erence plan left him the right

toYdecide whether his attendance would be of benefit to Kansas, it was obvious that he exwvected to be present. It was recalled that the Governor’s only meeting with President Roosevelt was in 1933 at a conference of Governors of oil states, called by the President. Mr: lLandon was the only Governor present, the others sending representativ The schedule for the first stage the Republican nominee’s Eastern swing late in August disclosed that

he definitely intends to take a short |:

vacation in Colorado before starting the campaign.

a short time before this metamorphosis manifested itself, at which he was a heartbroken guest. The | hostess was a young woman whom he had courted ardently. The guest of honor was the man she had chosen to marry. Zioncheck’s statement read: “It was my only purpose in life to improve an unfair econgmic system which held no hope and left not even a chance to have .... At- “have” he was interrupted. A few minutes later he was falling. Yesterday afternoon, accompanied by his brother-in-law, William Nadeau, and his wife, he called on. Dr. Edward B. Hoedemarker, a psychiatrist, who had been treating him

for a manic-depressive psychosis.

Dr. Hoedemarker told Mr. Nadeau in a confidential aside: “You had better keep an oye on him.” They drove directly to the suite in the Arctic Building which Zioncheck had rented for his campaign for re-election. “Wait,” he said, “I'll be right back.” They waited 10 minutes. Mr. Nadeau went up for him. The door to the office was locked. Mr. Nadeau called the janitor and had him unlock it. The short, heavy-set congressman was sitting at the desk, writing, frowning. Mr. Nadeau noticed that he was flushed and seemed nervous. “Come on, Marion,” he said. “Or we'll be late.” Zioncheck frowned even more, did not look up, and continued writing. - Mr. Nadeau spoke again. Zioncheck impetuously threw down his pen, swept the note to the floor and. jumped up, apparently ready "to go. . “You have a hat, haven't you?” ‘Dived Through Window

- “Yes,” Zioncheck said, “it’s on the shelf,” Mr. Nadeau went into the next room to get it.. He returned in time to see Zioncheck fling off the coat of his light gray business suit and dive through the window. - Zioncheck came home July 4 to fight for re-election after escaping from a hospital for the ne where he had been placed By relatives. The news of his altercation with Washington policemen, his spur-of-the-moment marriage, his riotous honeymoon in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and New York "City, his invention: of the Zioncheck zipper, his charge that Vice President John N. Garner had kidnaped] his bride—all this and more, preceded him. The reaction of his constituents was unmistakable. His friends pretended not to see him when they met him on the street. Born in Poland

Last: week the Commonwealth Federation, a left-wing Democratic organization, withdrew its support. Last Saturday Zioncheck announced that, because of his mother’s illness, he would not be a candidate for reelection. Last Tuesday he announced that, having reconsiclered, he would be a candidate; after all. Zioncheck, born in Poland, was brought to the Pacific Northwest by his parents at the age of 5. From snewsboy he became a 1) borer in the lumbering camps in the fir forests, then worked and fought his ‘way through the University of Washington, where he recélved his degree in law. In 1932 he sought his first political office as the spokesman of a

Accused Slayer of Hoosier . Farm Family Is Questioned

(Continued from Page One)

Viola, 36, and their daughter, Margaret, 12, The ex-convict said he had killed his former employer and his family because he was “mad at the whole outfit,” according to police. “I don’t regret it a bit,” authorities claim Singer said. “They had it coming to them and I'd do it again.” He charged that the family “mistreated” him. The accused man said the triple slaying occurred the evening of July 21, according to police. Mrs. Wesley was the first victim, he is alleged to have told police. She was shot in the back of the head

with a shotgun as she milked a cow in the barn, it was charged. Her

daughter was clubbed to death with

the butt of the gun when she ran into the barn to investigate. the shooting, Singer is said to have told authorities. Then, according to an alleged confession, Singer returned to the

Wesley home and sat in the kitchen |"

to await the return of the farm owner. Wesley was felled by a shotgun charge as he entered the door, officers said. Singer dragged the body of his employer across the road to the cow barn, where he stacked it with the others and covered them with straw, the reported statement continued, and the next morning he dug the shallow grave. Neighbors inquiring about the absence of the Wesleys were told that the family had returned to Louisville, to place the daughter in school, police said. Later Singer is alleged to have altered the:story to add that Wesley left ‘to’ escape debts. Authorities said Singer adopted the name of Fred Wesley and pos-

ing as a son of his slain employer, sold cattle and grain from the farm. He traded the Wesley family car in on a new one, it was charged, and

he had his bag packed for immediate departure at the time he was taken, police charged. Singer was taken on suspicion when he went to a North Manchester dealer seeking to have a writ of attachment removed from the Wesley property. The dealer sume moned Marshal Paul Hathaway, who called state police to imvestigate on th —etheory that Singer might have knowledge of the Bryant slaying. After nearly 24 hours of questioning Singer is said to have confessed slaying the farm family, for whom he had worked six or seven months. Singer has a long prison record. according to state police. He was paroled June 27, 1935, and has been a parole violator since last February, they said.
