WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.—Although the Works Progress Administration in Indiana was given a second clean bill of health today by the Senate Campaign Investigating Committee, Republicans have a perfect right to criticize its administration even in letters to WPA workers, the com-

mitteemen held.

Unless further complaints are received from the State, no additional investigations will be made there, Senator Sheppard (D. Tex.), commit-

tee chairman, announced today. Senator Minton (D. Ind.) had forwarded to the committee a letter from George N. Craig, Clay County G. O. P. chairman, criticizing WPA overhead and alleging “many corrupt practices.” It had been sent to WPA workers in Clay County, Senator Minton said. . “The committee has examined the letter and finds nothing illegal in either a candidate or a political organization sending letters in criti- - cism of the operation of WPA any more than they would if a candidate or political organization sent letters in commendation of the WPA and its activities,” Senator Sheppard reported. Another Democratic complaint, alleging Republican solicitation of WPA votes in Clay County, was held to be unfounded. “The investigators visited the "parties named in the complaint and were informed by the supervisor of the WPA, who was a Democrat, that he knew of no such practice,” the Committee report stated. “The Democratic County Chairman also stated that he knew of no such practice.” Text of Report

Complaints from Republican sources proved to be equally without foundation, the Committee report continuing as follows: “Another complaint, presented from Republican sources, was to the effect that WPA workers who were not disposed to vote for Democratic candidates were shifted to projects far away from their homes. The investigators for the committee found this charge was not sustained. It was claimed that this had been done in 1936, but the committee . feels that any investigation into this is beyond their jurisdiction. “Another complaint this committee has investigated was to- the effect that in Terre Haute and vicinity WPA workers had been solicited for campaign contributions. The investigators of the committee, at random, interviewed several WPA workers, received affidavits from them, and the limited number the investigators had an opportunity to interrogate reported that they made no contribution and had not been solicited for contributions. “The investigators reported they had been unable to secure any evidence to substantiate charges that an assessment for campaign purposes had been levied upon WPA employees in Clay County either. “Another complaint was that a forelady of a sewing project had distributed political cards to WPA workers in Clinton. The investigators interviewed several of the women employed on this sewing project and were unable to obtain any evidence to substantiate this charge.” Complaints from Republicans in Owen County were investigated previously and WPA exonerated of “playing politics” at that time.

NAZI SPY TRIAL DATAIS MISSING

Letters Loaned by British Secret Service Gone Since Last Night.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27 (U. P.).— The Government staff at the German spy trial disclosed today that important evidence supplied by the British Secret Service has been missing since last night. The evidence was contained in a book of photostatic repreductions of letters intercepted at the spy ‘“‘postoffice” of Mrs. Jessie Jordan, now serving a term for espionage in England. The photostats included eight such letters and envelopes received by Mrs. Jordan. The British Secret Service had transmitted the documents here only on the condition that they would pe returned.

Letters Already Read

The letters already had been read in the trial, however. Government agencies began a widespread investigation of the disappearance of the documents. Meanwhile, it was disclosed the Nazi espionage ring managed to obtain important American defense secrets. An airplane expert said he could reproduce the plans of a Navy airplane from documents found in the possession of William Lonkowski, fugitive Nazi spy. Alexander Noble, of the CurtissWright plant at Buffalo, thus added an important link to the Government’s case.

A neighbor, Shirley Eden, saw her leave, and catching up with her in his automobile, drove her to the scene. The father a truck driver, is just recovering from an accident last June in which he suffered a broken right leg. The body is at the Beanblossom Funeral Home where private services will be held at 1 p. m. Saturday. :

GREENCASTLE, Oct. 27 (U. P.) — Roland N. Hoerr, St. Louis, arrived here today to claim the body of his daughter, Elizabeth, 20-year-old St. Louis debutante, who died last night of a fractured skull received when a Monon passenger train struck her car at Bainbridge, seven miles north of here.

diana State Teachers College, and Wilbur S. Barnhart, Indianapolis, as speakers. Miss Boggs said the teachers had no major legislative policies before them, and no other questions of importance to be settled. Mrs. Beard told the deans and advisers she was afraid they did not realize the importance of women in education, “In my opinion,” she said, “American women today are lamentably escaping the stimulating knowledge of what even American women have actually contributed to education.” She cited as an example the leadership of teachers in keeping social bigotries on a leash. “The indispensability of women in education in America today is the keynote to their genuine power if they did but know it,” the author said. “Women have been in education since human life began. They are the original creators of social practices out of which educational practices spring.” In comparing women’s importance in the educational field with that of men, Mrs. Beard said: “Tc be great, one must live in the shadow of greatness. And men live more in that shadow than women— in the shadow of themselves.” Mrs. Kate H. Mueller, new dean of women at Indiana University, will speak at this evening's meeting. A tribute will be paid by the organization to Dr. Agnes E. Wells, former dean of women at Indiana University and founder of the association.

2000 at Parley In Ft. Wayne

FT. WAYNE, Oct. 27 (U. P.).—The annual Northeastern Indiana Teachers Association two-day meeting opened here today with an estimated 2000 teachers in attendance. Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, New York, and Booker T. Washington, II, son of the famed Negro educator, were scheduled for addresses today. A 200-piece band, representing the schools of Wells County, furnished music for the morning session. The resolutions committee is expected to offer a program calling for: Increased teachers retirement annuities from $700 to $960; Federal Government assistance in providing better educational opportunities, and a more equitable distribution of State funds for junior and senior high schools. The convention is expected to commend President Roosevelt for his efforts to preserve peace.

MISSING GEMS IN CHAUFFEUR’S POCKET

NEW YORK, Oct. 27 (U. P.).— George Fleming, the vanishing chauffeur, staggered from a subway train early today after a 36-hour ride about the city with a hangover, a guilty conscience and $116,500 worth of jewelry in his pocket. The jewelry was his employer’s, Mrs. Edward N.

His only excuse was he got drunk,

‘Rehabilitation Not Likely’

“American nationals and their interests,” the note said, “have suffered serious losses ‘in the Far East arising from causes directly attributable to the present conflict between Japan and China, and even under the most favorable conditions an early rehabilitation of American enterprise in China and of American trade with China cannot be expected. . “The American Government, therefore, finds it all the more difficult to reconcile itself to a situation in which American nationals must contend with continuing unwarranted interference with their rights at the hands of the Japanese authorities in China and with Japanese actions and policies which operate to deprive American trade and enterprise of equality of opportunity in China.” The note recalled that at the time of the occupation of Manchuria, Japan gave assurances that the open door policy would be maintained, but said that its principal economic activities now have been taken over by special companies, controlled by Japanese nationals, under charters affording them a preferred or an exclusive position.

Tariff Changes Opposed

“The Government of the United States,” ‘the note said, “is now apprehensive lest there develop in other areas of China which have been occupied by Japanese military forces since the beginning of the present hostilities a situation similar in its adverse effect upon the competitive position of American business to that which now exists in Manchuria. . , . “The Government of the United States has already pointed out to the Japanese Government that alterations of the Chinese customs. ‘tariff . . . are arbitrary and illegal

the Japanese Government has ah -inescapable responsibility. “It is hardly necessary to add that there can be no equality of opportunity or open door in China so long as the ultimate authority to regulate, tax, or prohibit trade is exercised, whether directly or indirectly, by the authorities of one ‘foreign’ power in furtherance of the interests of that power.”

Specific Acts Cited

The note charged Japam with these illegal acts: 1. Japanese organization of the Central China Telecommunications Co., Shanghai, to control all telecommunication’ in Central China. 2. Japanese organization of the Shanghai Inland Navigation Co. to control water transportation in the Shanghai delta area. 3. Japanese organizations of a company to operate the wharves at Tsingtao. : 4. Developments in the Nortn China wool and tobacco trades. 5. Creation of special promotion companies to be controlled by the Japanese Government to unify and regulate large sectors of economic enterprise in China.

Berlin Papers Contrast F.D.R., Hoover Speeches

BERLIN, Oct. 27 (U. P.)—The newspaper Lokalanzeiger today said that President Roosevelt's speech condeming “peace by force” had put into words “exactly what we have to dispute with America.”

“In America today the Fuehrer, the German people, family life, the Nazi party and its organizations—in fact, everything German—has been unbelievably maligned without punishment and without censorship,” the newspaper said. . The official news agency commented that the speech contrasted markedly from that of former Presicent Herbert Hoover, also made to the New York Herald Tribune Forum in New York." The agency summarized inspired comment in its headline: “Election speech by Roosevelt at cost of other countries. Roosevelt participated with treatment of subject ‘world peace.’ In connection with current election campaign President painted in. blackened colors ‘militaristic foreign states. Roosevelt further especially took up case of ‘helpless, harried’ Jews.” Comment in Foreign Office quarters was similar. The President’s speech was called “g typical American maneuver which can be largely discounted because of its obvious connection with the congressional elections.”

Italy Dislikes Speech But Calls it Timely ROME, Oct. 27 (U. P.).—Early editions of afternoon newspapers published only very brief accounts today. of President Roosevelt's speech on international affairs. It was understood that afternoon newspapers, at least, would use only the report of the official agency,

revealing. Responsible Fascist quarters in-. timated that the Government viewed with sympathy the President’s desire. for disarmament, but strongly objected to what they said was a tendency to place the entire blame for the present armament peace on the totalitarian states. Foreign political quarters expressed belief, that the President’s disarma-

Hoover Says U. S.

Should Remain Isolated NEW YORK, Oct. 27 (U. P.)—

The eighth annual Herald Tribune

forum on current problems, featured

by addresses on “The Struggle for Peace” by President Roosevelt, former President Herbert Hoover, and Viscount Halifax, British Foreign Minister, closes today with a session at the World Fair Grounds. Speakers will discuss the fair grounds’ architecture, scientific exhibits and plans for care of the visitors. Viscount Halifax addressed forum by radio from London. He defended Britain's policy in the Czechoslovak crisis and asked for world co-operation for peace. Mr. Hoover addressed the session in person. He said the Munich agreement had lessened the danger

the

of war, regardless of the criticisms

that it attracted. He said the dictatorships were now “looking to the east” of Europe for economic relief and that they were in no danger

of clashing with the democracies immediately unless the democracies interferred with their eastward

progress. He said that even if there was a war between dictatorships and de-

mocracies, the United States need

not be involved, for these reasons: 1, “The call to join is based upon

the preservation of personal liberty

in the world. Free economic life is not built for war. Any major war means that our country must be mobilized into practically a Fascist Government. . . . It is even less likely that the European democracies would emerge as democracies. If European war should take place between liberal and totalitarian countries, the only hope for democracy is for us to stay out of it and keep the lamp of liberty alight in the world.” 2. “ . . The futility of American intervention in Europe. We cah make war, but we do not and cannot make the peace in Europe. Our people do not have the knowled:e and the willingness to compromise ideals and principles which meet their necessities.” 3. “ . . There is no clear call of liberty. France has her own special alliances and her policies, including an alliance with Soviet Russia. She believes ‘it necessary for her defense . . . but if we were involved, far from standing on the side of liberty, we should be standing on the side of communism. As great a democracy as it is the British Commonwealth, and as vitally important as it is to the continuance of civilization, she also has interests of her own we can scarcely be called upon to defend.”

British Cabinet Talks Of New Hitler Parley

LONDON, Oct. 27 (U. P.).—Preliminary steps have been taken toward a new conference between Prime Minister Chamberlain and Fuehrer Hitler—this one on a sweeping program of European appeasement, it was said in a most reliable quarter today. President Roosevelt's speech on imternational affairs was welcomed in Europe's democracies. It was something of a sensation. It promised to mark a definite turn in the situation which has obtained since the four power Munich agreement on the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. Early comment seemed to imply that it was further evidence that the Munich agreement was not a peace agreement exactly but a “no war’ agreement which the democracies accepted reluctantly so that they would have time to strengthen their armaments against another crisis. Earl Stanhope was sworn today as First Lord of the Admiralty and

Earl de la Warr succeeded him as president of the Board of Education.

Initiative for a Hitler-Chamber-lain talk is being taken by the British Government, it was said, as the result of a report to the Cabinet by

‘Sir Nevile Henderson, British Am‘bassador to Germany, that there

was a good outlook for a permanent British-German understanding on the basis of all-round European appeasement. In any negotiations, informants emphasized, the question of the cession of colonial territory in Africa to Germany would be included. . The Cabinet, at its regular weekly meeting yesterday, was understood to have approved the enforcement at an early date, possibly Nov. 17, of the British-Italian friendship treaty.
