EUROPE TENSE, FACES CRISIS IN RUSSIAN CHARGE

Soviet Bitter Over Alleged Neutrality Violations in Spanish War.

(Continued from Page One)

withheld all comment pending conferences of high officials. Samuel Kagan, Russia charge d'affaires, handed the communi- _ cation to Lord Plymouth, acting chairman of the non-intervention committee, while the committee was in recess yesterday. It was in the form of a statement by Kagan in behalf of his government. It made the direct charges that German airplanes reached ihe; Spanish rebels from Germany, that | poison gas reached the rebels from Italy, that Portugal permitted its frontier to be used by the rebels. It ended: “The Soviet government. fears thal the situation created by the repeated violations of agreements makes the agreements practically non-existent. The Soviet government can by no means agree to change the agreements for noninterference into a screen which masks military assistance to the insurgents by somé participants to the ’ agreements against the legal Spanish government. In view of this the Soviet government is obliged to”declare that if measures to halt the violations are not taken immediatelv, it considers itself free of its obligations under the agreements.” :. A second note, delivered this morning, makes the formal accusation that Portugal has violated the non-intervention pacts. Russia charges that the effect of the agreements had been to blockade the legal Spanish government, with which all the Fascist nations enjoy diplomatic relations, and permit the rebels to receive direct aid. The communication was published in Moscow but not here. In London, copies of the communication were distributed only confidentially to embassies and legations of nations represented on the non-intervention committee, and dispatched to capitals con- « cerned. It appeared certain that if: the committee did not abandon what Moscow considered its inactivity---alleged to be serving the vital interests of the Spanish insurgents— Russia would consider giving similar aid to the government threatening - the results of two months of anxious ‘ negotiations to prevent the Spanish civil war from embroiling other nations. It would be necessary for the powers to take immediate action of some sort,

Causes No Surprise

in Geneva GENEVA, Oct. 8. — The Soviet threat to denounce the non-interven-tion agreement caused little surprise in League circles because Foreign Minister Maxim M. Litvinov of the Soviet Union already had criticised it in the Assembly,

Berlin Concerned Over Charge

By United Press BERLIN, Oct. 8.—Political quarters regarded Soviet Russia's note as an attempt to provoke a European conflict and promote the Bolshevisation of Europe.

A government spokesman refused to comment officially, saying that Russia’s action’ was of such importance that Germany's attitude must be weighed most carefully.

WPA ‘HORSE PLAY’ ENDS IN STABBING

“Horse play” qn a WPA project yesterday afternoon evolved into a serious matter for Roscoe Johnson, 28, of 555 S. Cole-st, and Harry McGee, 49, of 2108 V/. 10th-st. Johnson told deputy sheriffs that McGee, with whom he was working at McCray-st and Georgetownrd, had been chiding him. He retaliated by putting a grasshopper

down McGee's neck, Johnson said. McGee then flipped Johnson's hat off his head, according to the latter. And Johnson returned with a haymaker in the general direction of McGee's jaw, officers were told. Johnson said McGee then stabbed him in the abdomen with a small knife. He refused to file charges against McGee) “because it was all in fun.”

“UDIENCE GIVES

MINTON CHEERS

Turnout at oe Last Night.

Times Special : ; DANVILLE, Ind, Oct. 8—Hendricks County Democrats were encouraged today at the turnout for an address by Senator Sherman Minton here last night. An audience sprinkled with farm-

‘| ers clad in overalls filled the Court-

house assembly room, steod on the Courthouse lawn and parked around the square listening through the public address system. Senator Mniton charged that the Supreme Court invalidation of the AAA was “one of the greatest crimes in the history of the nation,” and defended the state and national tax programs. Cites G. O. P. Proposals He said that the Republican tax proposals called for three alternatives. to the gross income tax-— increased property taxes, a 3 per cent sales tax or a 12 to 15 per cent net income tax. “Federal spending for relief and recovery shifts the tax burden from the farmers and home owners, who

pays the local taxes, to the wealthy

who pay income and inheritance taxes,” the Senator said. “Big Business has been spending

millions for the Republican campaign fund in an effort to escape!

taxes and thrust the burden back on you,” he said. Truck Tours County Yesterday a Democratic sound truck and a caravan of cars toured every township. in the county, and County Chairman Howard Shea said he was pleased at the size of the audiences. Generally considereds a Republiean stronghold, Hendricks County cast a 1160 plurality for Senator Minton’s opponent, Arthur Robinson, in 1934. “The Republicans are charging that Lieut. Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, Democratic nominee for Governor, is the proxy of Gov. McNutt,” Senator Minton said. “I would rather have the Governor’s proxy than those of Watson and Goodrich ruling the state. But let me tell you that Cliff will be his own Governor.” ‘The Senator predicted that by the end of the campaign the Republicans would -have spent. $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 ‘“to -enthrone the will bf the money bags.” F. D. R. Mention Brings Cheers When motorists’ parked on the square honked their horns in approval of- Senator Minton’s praise of President Roosevelt, the speaker said, “Four years ago the farmers didn't have enough money to buy cars and gas to come to town.” “The business men, saved from ruin and bankruptcy by the President in 1933, are cursing him today. But the little man is not ungrateful. He is rallying to the standard of the best friend the poor ever had.” ; State Auditor Laurence Sullivan, a candidate for re-election, and

By Uwited Preas SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8.— Edward J. Margett, California area manager of the Townsend Old-Age Pension organization, released a message today from the recovery movement's founder, Dr. Francis E.

The - message, Margett said, stated that believers in the pen.Sion movement ‘could not and would not” support re-election of President Roosevelt and advised “we choose the lesser of two evils.” The message said in part: “I shall cast my vote for an untried man—Mr. Landon—in the hope tliat he may prove of greater value to the nation than the gentleman who has occupied the White House for the last four years.”

With Gov, Landon ready for dee parture this evening on an eight= day, 2400-mile campaign swing through four of the most important states in the presidential race, the firing was along this line: 1.
