SATURDAY, NOV. 12, Jews Fine Fo

Goebbels Bars Hebrews From Theaters and Concerts.

(Continued from Page One)

‘Nazi attack must pay for ail dam= ages, estimated at $5,200,000 in Berlin alone. He also decreed that the Reich shall confiscate all insurance ‘claims held by Jews. Jews were also forbidden to possess firearms or other weapons. It was announced that further ‘decrees regulating Jewish economic life will be forthcoming. Dr. Goebbels decree regulating amusements prescribed that violat‘ors of the ban, either Jews or proprieors who admitted them, should ‘be subject to heavy fines. Stores to Stay Closed

Dr. Goebbels said that Jews would

ra, cultural life of their own within ‘their own community and therefore they were barred from German exhibitions of the sort specified. . A serious food shortage was threatened among Vienna Jews hecause of Nazi orders to coffee houses, restaurants and grocery stores not to serve Jews. Nazi Storm Troops visited Jew‘ish stores, district by district, loaded all perishable foodstuffs such as vegetables, meats and bread on ‘trucks, and then locked and sealed the entrances of the shops and took the keys with them. $572 for Every Jew The huge fine imposed on the Jews is a collective one. There was no indication of the methods to be used in collecting it. All Jewish property under a special law has been registered with authorities, who are in a position to tell instantly what each Jew owns. The total estimated Jewish wealth is between $2,200,000,000 and $2,600,000,000. Thus the fine amounts to 15 to 18 per cent of Jewish wealth. A per capita levy would be impossible since the fine works out to $572 per capita and a large majority of Jews do not have that much. A Foreign Office source said that Jit was most unlikely that Jewish stores wrecked in an anti-Semitic outbreak Thursday would be reopened pending establishment of ghettos or segregated areas for Jews. “If they reopened we would have to send two or three policemen to ‘guard each one and we cannot do that,” the informant said. This information came after a speech by Adolf Wagner, Nazi leader for Bavaria, announcing that Jewish business and professional activities in Munich were “permanently closed.” Old Testament Threatened Meanwhile, Julius Streicher, leader of the extreme anti-Jewish element in the Nazi Party, intimated in a ‘speech at Nuremberg that the Old ‘Testament might be excluded from schools as religious instruction. “Germany’s teachers will cease immediately to recount the untrue Jewish hero tales, as they have heretofore been forced to do, and will now preach Christ’s true words,” he. said. ‘ The Bavarian Storm Troop leader for Bavaria, in making his Munich announcement, disclosed also that the thousands of Jews arrested throughout Germany Thursday were held as hostages. He said also that Jewish-owned art objects in Munich were being confiscated. Eight thousand Jews were arrested in Berlin alone, it was esti- " mated. = 4 Among them, it was learned a selected group of about 160 were concentrated at the Alexanderplatz police station. 160 in One Cell These 160 men were the elite of the Jewish community—officers of Nazi-approved Jewish organizations, former Army officers, professors, wealthy merchants. Police had no orders regarding them, it was reported. They herded them into one large cell and left ‘them for the night, to sit on the floor or stand. In the morning the jailers took them coffee and bread, then led them to a courtyard where, it was said, they amused themselves by dividing them into squads according ‘to the amount of “Aryan” blood ‘they had and their former professional standing, and drilling them in military fashion. This lasted until noon, it was asserted, when ,about 20 of the oldest and the ones who proved they were World War veterans or had permission to emi‘grate were released.

BERNE, Switzerland, Nov. 12 (U. P.) .—Swiss authorities have started ‘a vigorous campaign of repression against Swiss Nazis, and particularly against those suspected of maintaining relations with German Nazis, it was disclosed today.

FRENCH DRAFT DRASTIC LAWS FOR RECOVERY

Jugoslav Tobacco Monopoly Head Is Killed; Czechs Drop Democracy

PARIS, Nov. 12 (U. P.)—The Cabinet met today to vote on a program of drastic economic and financial recovery decrees under the extraordinary powers which, granted to the Government by Parliament, expire Tuesday. Finance Minister Paul Reynaud worked almost all night perfecting the text of the decrees so he could submit them to the Cabinet this morning. It was hoped that a final vote could be taken in time for M. Reynaud to broadcast a speech to the country on the decrees_tonight.

Disagreement Reported

As the Cabinet met, it was reported that there was still some disagreement among political leaders regarding the decrees, and particularly regarding proposals by M. Reynaud to close certain railroad lines and send the workers on them to the war industries. M. Reynaud was reported to favor an increase in sales taxes, and especially increased indirect taxes on tobacco, and similar goods. ’ He was reported to have considered taxes on fortunes. Foreign Minister Bonnet left the meeting to attend funeral services at the German Church for Ernst von Rath, third secretary of the German Embassy, wnose fatal shooting by a 17-year-old Jew, Herschel Fripel Grynszpan, caused the anti-Jewish outbreaks in Germany.

Rebels Drop 50

Bombs on Valencia

BARCELONA, Nov. 12 (U. P).— Twenty-three persons were wounded by bomb fragments today in a Rebel air raid on the city and its port district, Rebel planes also raided Valencia and dropped 50 bombs."

Jugoslav Senator

Assassinated in Street

BELGRADE, Nov. 12 (U. P.)— Senator Hadschi Ristics Spira, president of the Government tobacco purchasing monopoly and a political leader, was assassinated in the market square at Skoplje last night by a tobacco’ grower named Josics. The assassin killed himself.

Democracy Ended

In Czechoslovakia

PRAHA, Nov. 12 (U. P.).—Czechoslovakia embarked today upon a nationalist form of government with strong anti-Semitic tendencies. All political parties, which numbered 15 before the annexations by Germany, Poland and Hungary, had until noon to unite into one party. At that hour, Premier Jan Syrovy’s ultimatum said, those parties not united were abolished. The Com- | munist Party already had been abolished. A new 17-point program governing the second Czechoslovak Republic was published with the approval of Foreign Minister Frantisek Chvalkovsky, who was considered the likely choice for the Presidency, to be decided in an election next Thursday or Friday. The section relating to aliens said: “The Second Republic must oust all foreign immigrants, wherein the Jewish problem will be the most important factor. There must be a citizenship revision dating back to Oct. 18, 1918. All Jews must be expelled from all political an journalistic fields.” : It was the end of 20 years of liberal democracy in this war-born republic, which had been, before the minorities crisis, a haven for political and racial exiles from all parts of Central Europe. The new program aligned Czechoslovakia on friendly terms with all neighbors, especially Germany, whose sphere of economic influence was rapidly settling over the country. It borrowed from Germany, compulsory labor camp service and combination of newspapers, radio and movies.

Dewey, Smith Hit ‘Savagery’

Nazi Consulate Guarded; Mexico and U. S. to Sign Accord.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12 (U. P.)— District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey and former Governor Alfred E. Smith joined today in protest against anti-Semitic demonstrations in Germany. A policeman guarded the German

| consulate here after the consul com-

plained he had received several abusive telephone calls. A small crowd demonstrated in front of the building, shouting “Down with Germany!” In Boston, the German consul reported that a telephone caller had threatened to blow up the consulate. He was supplied with a police guard. The International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union, meeting in Washington, urged President Roosevelt to protest to Germany “in terms so unmistakable that even the perpetrators of these atrocities will realize that they have placed themselves by their barbarities beyond the pale of civilization.”

“Question of Civilization”

Mr. Dewey and Mr. Smith were speakers last night on a program of protests over Radio Station WMCA and an intercity broadcasting network. Mr. Dewey appealed to world opinion “to halt the savagery and barbarism which inspired the bloody pogrom.” Mr. Smith said the situation in Germany was “not merely a Jewish question, not merely a Catholic question, not merely a Protestant question, but the question of civilization itself.”

LONDON, Nov. 12 (U. P.)— The newspaper Daily Sketch reported today that President Roosevelt, in a communication to Prime Minjster Chamberlain, had sought co-operation in aiding a new stream of Jewish refugees expected from Germany as the result of new Nazi outbreaks. The report was not confirmed. : The Archbishop of Canterbury, spiritual head of the Church of England, urged in a letter to The Times today that prayers be offered in churches tomorrow for Jews “who have suffered this fresh onset of persecution” in Germany “and whose future seems to be so dark and hopeless.”

[Hull Confirms

Protests to Japan

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (U. P.) — Secretary of State Hull announced today that this Government has made representations to Japan regarding reported Japanese restrictions of shipping on the Yangtze River. Secretary Hull indicated, however, that this Government did not act in concert with Great Britain and France who were reported by a reliable source in London today to have joined with the United States in parallel protests. - Secretary Hull also announced today that he hoped the new Cana-dian-American trade agreement negotiations would be brought to a conclusion next week. :

HONGKONG, Nov. 12 (U. P.).— Chinese soldiers have recaptured Tamshui, a fortified town near Bias Bay from which the Japanese started their drive on Canton, Chinese reports said today.

Mexico Yields to U.S.

On Seized Farm Land

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 12 (U. P.) — The Mexican land expropriation dispute with the United States was ended amicably today when the Government delivered to the United States an acceptance of proposals looking toward payment of American claims. The land question had been dormant for many years but was revived after the Mexican oil property expropriation with indications that the United States was concerned over Mexico's practice of seizure without immediate and definite compensation. The land question was settled on a basis favoring American land owners, while Mexicans whose land is seized continue to receive nothing for their propery.

The windows of many fine Berlin shops were left gaping black holes, like those ‘in the radiophoto above, when Nazi mobs all over Germany systematically destroyed Jewish property, and looters pillaged after them.

VANNUYS LEAD GUT BY CHANGE

Bobbitt Calls Republican State Committee on Vote Recount.

(Continued from Page One)

cede defeat on the basis of the unofficial count. The Appellate Court race, meanwhile, became another subject of controversy as the question arose

as to whether an Appellate Court

candidate opposed only the candi-

date with whom he was paired or whether the two candidates with

the highest number of votes in each division would be elected.

Claim Flanagan's Election While it appeared on the basis of unofficial tabulations that Edgar Durre, Evansville, had been elected

Judge of the Appellate Court, first division, Republicans claimed also

the election of Dan C. Flanagan, of

Ft. Wayne. Fred C. Gause, Republican mem-

ber of the State Board of Election

Commissioners, said: “The two candidates for the same division with the highest number of votes should be the winners, regardless of pairing.” Attorney General Omer Stokes Jackson said he was not in a position to make a definite statement. “Our tabulations show,” he said, “that William H. Bridwell (D) has not been defeated definitely by Edgar Durre (R) and that Huber M. DeVoss (D) is running ahead of Dan Flanagan (D). “Our tabulations differ widely from those compiled by the press associations, and we can’t say who is in and who is out. Before making any definite statement, I prefer to wait until the tabulations are official.” The call for the state committee session was issued by State Chairman Arch N. Bobbitt after a meeting of the candidates on the Republican state ticket who decided to press for the recount. The Legal Committee was scheduled tentatively to meet today. Methods of procedure in handling the recount are to be discussed at the meeting. Mr. Bobbitt, acting for Republican candidates affected by the recount, said he would confer with committee members sometime tomorrow. “So far, I don’t know what line of action will be taken in making the recount,” he said.

Hint Financing by Capehart

Some Republican leaders hinted that a large portion of the recount would be financed by Homer L. Capehart, Buffalo industrialist, who financed the G. O. P.’s mammoth “Cornfield Conference” in August. Mr. Bobbitt then selected a legal committee of prominent Republieans to handle the technicalities of the recount. Members are: Arthur L. Gilliom, former Indiana Attorney General; Clinton H. Givan of Indianapolis; Arthur Rogers of Washington, G. O. P. nominee for the State Supreme Court from the First District, and Edgar M. Blessing of Danville, nominee for Supreme Court from the Third District. Enough funds were received through voluntary contributions to stage the recount, Mr. Bobbitt said, in announcing the results of his appeal for donations.

Issues Call for Session

. Then Mr. Bobbitt issued the call for the State Committee session at which plans to press the recount will be mapped. Yesterday Mr. Willis announced

00 04 that he will petition the Northern District

and Southern Federal Courts to impound the ballots of six counties—Marion, Lake, Vigo, Vanderburgh, Sullivan and Vermillion.

It is in these counties that the

Republicans will contest the Demo-

cratic majorities, but Mr. Bobbitt

said that any other G. O. P. county organizations should feel free to take action in their own areas also. The Republican National committee is assisting Hoosier Republicans in financing the contest in the attempt to unseat Senator VanNuys, it was understood.

Willis Issues Statement

After the candidates’ meeting, Mr. Willis issued a statement in which he proposed that the Republicans broaden their inquiries into a general investigation of Democratic political practices. “With all the resources at our command,” he said, “we are going forward with the verification of reports of fraud and corruption in many precincts, particularly those which evidently were held out until late reports were in and which turned apparent victory into seeming defeat for the Republican cause. We shall fully investigate every one of these reports. for presentation to the proper Senate authorities. “We shall demand a thorough in-

ig Sg of the methods. of rais-

in |canny vote.

Two Per Cent Club in this state, and of the hidden expenditures by that organization; charges of misuse of Federal funds appropriated for the relief of the unemployed through WPA, and the exercise of political pressure, through fear and coercion, by authorities in control of these Federal funds.

‘Seat in Senate Secondary’

“As for myself, I wish to say that I consented to enter this race because I believed it my duty to help break machine control of government in Indiana, to wage a fight against reckless use of the people’s money; in short, to help restore in Indiana the confidence of the people in their Government. “The question of a seat in the Senate is of secondary importance to me—I mean to continue the important thing, the battle against bad government.” Will Irwin of Columbus, Republican national committeeman, also approved the election contest and appealed for financial assistance. Democratic leaders remained silent and declined to discuss the Republican recount plans for publication. In confidence, Democrats are said to “resent” the implication that they “stole” the election and believe that a recount will show a gain instead of a loss of votes for Democratic candidates.

REPORTED MARRIAGE OF GIRL, 12, PROBED

Father’s Complaint Brings Prosecutor’s Action.

LOGAN, W. Va., Nov. 12 (U. P). —The reported marriage of 12-year-old Helen Olidas, of Big Creek, to Clifford Adkins, 28, was investigated today by Prosecuting Attorney Claude A. Joyce. Mr. Joyce said he had received a complaint from the girl’s father, Toney Olidas, worker in a coal camp, W. T. Mitchell, county relief department field worker, said the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Roy Jeffrey of Chapmanville. The minister said he was under the impression that the girl was older and that she had her mother’s consent, The Rev. Mr. Jeffrey said the mother signed an affidavit that the child was 15 years old. The legal minimum age for marriage in West Virginia with consent of the parents is 16 years. Mr. Joyce said he intended to present the case to Circuit Judge C. C. Chambers.

LAST DESCENDANT OF MACCHIAVELLI DIES

ROME, Nov. 12 (U. P.) —Marquis Lorenzo Rangoni-Macchiavelli, 64, last direct descendant of Niccole Macchiavelli, whose works laid the basis for a new school of diplomacy and politics, died yesterday. Niccolo Macchiavelli, or Machiavelli, in his work “The Prince” and other writings analyzed the methcds by which a man might rise to sovereign power. He wrote in the interest of a strong central government in Italy, under despotic rule.

John the Bath died yesterday of pneumonia with which he was stricken Monday. For a year he had been crippled by arthritis. Writer of maudlin poetry, owner of race horses which usually came in last, lover of fine clothes, Mr. Coughlin was born in the “First” on what is now a busy corner at the southern edge of the “Loop.”

His Life—His End

The First was his playground, his life and in the end, scene of his death. It extended from the sluggish Chicago River on the north, to 26th St. on the south, from banks and brokerage houses, to brothels, slums and saloons, from tenements to the tenderloin. Mr. Coughlin shared his rule of the “world’s richest ward” with Michael (Hinky Dink) McKenna and together, through three genera-

Minnesota Underdog

Against Notre Dame

The Nation’s football attention was focused on South Bend today

Dame lined up against the mighty Gophers of Minnesota in a grid classic that may decide the national championship. For the first time in several years, Minnesota went: into a football game as the underdog. The Irish were conceded a better than even chance of whipping the Gophers from Minneapolis. As eagerly as the Irish hoped for another step toward the national

title, the touchdown-hungry Crimson of Indiana gritted its teeth at the Iowa Hawkeyes and hoped for its first Big Ten victory. The Hoosiers, who display plenty of punch before arriving within the opponents’ 10-yard stripes, faced a tough battle with the rejuvenated Hawkeyes, who held Purdue to a scoreless tie. Indiana hoped to get a little practice in making touchdowns before tangling with Purdue next Saturday. The Boilermakers had an open date today. . Butler's Bulldogs were in St. Louis to battle Washington U. in the season’s finale for the locals. Other State teams which were to close their seasons today were DePauw, Manchester, Ball State, Indiana State and Central Normal. The 45th meeting of Wabash and DePauw was scheduled at Greencastle. Manchester sought its sixth consecutive victory in playing host to Franklin and Earlham College was in Muncie with hopes of stopping the Ball State Teachers. The - Indiana State Sycamores were to end their season at Richmond, Ky., against the Maroons of Eastern Kentucky State, while the Warriors of Central Normal also journeyed across the Ohip to face the Morehead State Teachers at Ashland in their final game.

{Prepare Meeting Program

To Complete Industrial And Craft Split.

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 12 (U. P).— Leaders of the 41 unions comprising the C. I. O. prepared a program today for their constitutional conven-

tion, opening Monday, which will complete the division of American labor into rival craft and industrial organizations.

Neither John L. Lewis, C. I. O. chairman, nor any other spokesman would comment on the withdrawal of the International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union, except that Mr. Lewis said it was “to be expected.”

Others believed that the Garment Workers’ revolt would have no effect on the plan to set up a permanent C. I. O. organization next week, although it might lead to new discussions on the question of making peace with the American Federation of Labor. The I. L. G. W. U., headed by David Dubinsky, an outspoken proponent of peace among the labor rivals, based its withdrawal on the theory that with the C. I. O. nationally organized, peace would be harder to achieve than ever. Meet Secretly

Mr. Lewis and other leaders met secretly to appoint committees and

discuss the report to be submitted to the 450 constitutional delegates

Monday. It was one of the final steps in unifying the C. I. O. After three years of quasi official existence and bitter jurisdictional struggles with the Federation of Labor fronts throughout the nation.

The C. I. O. began with the revolt of 10 unions from the Federation on the question of mass organization of workers by industry rather than by craft. The I. L. G. W. U. was one of the original 10. Its withdrawal deprived the C. I. O. of 250,000 members, but left it with 3,787,000. Thomas Kennedy, Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor and secretary of the United Mine Workers, of which Mr. Lewis is president, headed the committee planning the constitution.

U. A. W. Heads Meet

Several other unions took advantage of the convention to hold executive sessions here. The United ‘Automobile Workers executives met yesterday. They made no announcement and Homer Martin, president, denied that they had discussed his recent meeting with Ford Motor Co. cfficials, which had been rumored to be a prelude to an organizational drive among Ford workers. The Amalgamated Clothing Workers voted to petition Elmer F. Andrews, wages and hours administrator, to appoint a committee for their industry so that the union could officially request an increase in the minimum wage to 40 cents an hour, instead of the general 25-cent minimum. Sidney Hillman, president, said the minimum affected only about 20,000 workers in the industry, because 93 per cent of them belonged to the union, whose members get an 80cent minimum.

WOMAN VICTORIOUS IN HUSKING CONTEST

GRAHAM, Mo., Nov. 12 (U. P.) — Mrs. Andrew Chestnut, Burlington Junction, Mo., who works regularly in the fields beside her farmer husband, today was the only woman in

"|the state to hold a cornhusking title.

Mrs. Chestnut defeated a group of neighbor women to win the Nodaway County championship yesterday. The runnerup was her sister, Mrs. James Constable, also of Burlington. : Mrs. Chestnut husked a net of 11 bushels and six pounds and Mrs. Constable shucked 10 bushels and 58 pounds, in the allotted time of an hour. All of the women except Mrs. palmer wore overalls, She wore a ress.

Claims Peace Up to C. 1. O.; . 41 Unions Await Parley

Dubinsky Declares Garment - Workers’ Organization Is Neutral.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12 (U. P). —President David Dubinsky of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union predicted today that the C. I. O. convention next week would determine success or failure of efforts for peace in the labor movement. Mr. Dubinsky announced that his union was neutral in the war between the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L.—that its only interest was peace. “Our minds are open and our . eyes are fixed on -peace,” he said. “We have no immediate plans about how to bring about unity, but we. look to the C. I. O. convention for. a hint as to its plans.” ; The I. L. G. W. U. executive board yesterday decided unanimously not to affiliate with either the A. F. of L. or C. I. O, at least for - the present, but to make every effort to reconcile the two factions. Urges Sending of Delegates The I. L. G. W. U. is the only union which technically was affilisted with both the C. I. O. and A. F. of L. All others which - formed the C. I. O. have been ex- - pelled from the A. F. of L. The garment workers will not be represented at the Pittsburgh C. I. O. convention, although Vice Presi= dent Charles .S. Zimmerman urged the board to send delegates to “advocate the need for unity and to. present our program for unity.” After blaniing C. I. O. Chairman John L. Lewis for blocking recent efforts to reopen peace negotiations the union’s board declared that “the setback suffered by the progressive and liberal forces in the last election is unquestionably due, in part, to the division in the labor movement.” The I. L. G. W. U. pledged itself : in the future “to support every genuine effort, whether C. I. O. or A. F. of L, in their organizational - activities for the improvement of the conditions of the workers, and in every effort to achieve peace in the labor movement.” :

U. S. PROBES THEFT OF TRUCK’S CARGO

BUFFALO, N. Y., Nov. 12 (U. P). . —G-Men investigated today the theft of a $12,000 cargo from a transport truck trailer. : The trailer, minus its cargo which included a baby grand piano, was found in Lackawanna. The stolen goods also included 76 cases Of clothing. They were consigned to Toledo, Newark and Detroit. Federal agents entered the case because the theft involved interstate commerce.
