Herriol To Head French Cabinet

DOl MKKtit K I.OSHS I’OWKK AfTKH DISPI'TK OVKK CONSTIri TIONAI. KKKOHMS I’AltlS. Nov. 7. A nine months’ political truce in France ended yesterday as Premier Gaston Doumergue's national government fell and today Paris, recalling the riots that brought "Papa" Doumcrgue to power, feared new bloodshed. Edouard Herriot, vice premier, and his five fellow radical socialist min-1 isters forced Doumcrgue out. quitting the cabinet after the party had differend with the premier over his i program for constitution revision. The aged leader was expected to f present the cabinet's collective resig- j nation to the president Thursday. To Herriot, as leader of the faction j that broke the truce. President Albert Lebrun will assign the task of forming another government. Friends said Herriot would accept. He will keep the Doumcrgue lineup almost intact, they said, leaving out only Henry Lemery. minister of justice. and putting in his place former Premier Andre Tardieu. minister

without portfolio under Doumcrgue, who will serve as vice premier. So vivid was the fear of disorders that the retiring premier and his minister decided to elefer announcement of the government’s fall until Thursday, hoping Herriot will have his new cabinet ready by then. Meanwhile, the most elaborate piecautions were taken to avert repetition of the stret fighting that preceded the overthrow of Erouard Daiadier's government. Heavy police forces were hidden around the chamber of deputies, which earlier received governmentdrafted hills providing severe penalties for the chiefs of rioting groups, and nearly 1 (M)0 men were quartered at the Invalilies police station across the street from the foreign office where Doumcrgue lias his office. A column of police began moving through the city forming a close network to prevent possible demonstrations. Leaders feared the "shock troops" of the political right might demonstrate against the radical socialists if Herriot became premier. This, it was believed, would bring out the left group which already has ordered its men to "be on the alert” in the event that the right demonstrtion. which they maintain is already planned, takes place.

Foil Break At Reformatory

IMPLICATE SIX SEIZED AT SOUTH BEND IN PLOT TO LIBERATE FELONS SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Nov. 7. 'UP) A prison break as serious as the escape of 10 long term convicts from the Indiana state prison more than a year ago was reported thwarted today with the arrest of six men here. The plot would have liberated eight inmates of the state refonnatory of Pendleton and included plans for them to embark upon series of bank robberies and holdups in the middle west similar to those perpetrated under the leadership of the late John Dillinger. Detailed plans for the reformatory delivery and bank roberies were discovered after the six men had been rounded up in connection with numerous holdups in this area, police said. Those arrested are Charles Baker. 29 years old; Paul Szekula, 20; James C. Horvath. 21; Raymond Barnes, 33, and Ernst Pass, 22, all of South Bend, and James C. Shelton. 23. Kokomo. All but Pass arc ex-convicts, police said. Barnes was implicated in a slaying during a brawl here about seven years ago. Horvath was arrested after his father was slain but was j acquitted on the contention he did j it in defense of his mother. He later served a reformatory term on charge of auto theft. Shelton and Baker each have serv- j ed reformatory terms on larceny charges. Szkula once was convicted of robbery. Authorities of five surrounding counties were notified of the arrests in an effort to identify the prisoners in connection with recent robberies in Elkhart, Plymouth. Michawaka. Goshen and other neighboring cities.

MINTON’S KE(OKI) NEW ALBANY Ind., NOV 7 (UP Sherman Minton. Democrat, successold attorney who defeated Sen. Arthur R. Robinson. Republican, for United States senator in yesterday's election, won his popularity as a champion of the rights of common citizens. He is an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt and the new deal. Behind his friendly attitude toward the "common people” is an intimate knowledge gained as he fought his

own way through schools and into political leadership. Born at Georgetown, Floyd county, Oct. 20, 1890. Minton was educated in the public schools. His mother died when he was 12 years old. He decided upon a legal career early in life and was an honor scholar at Indiana university, Yale School of Law and University of Paris. At Indiana he was a football and baseball player. Minton enlisted in the army as a private and was honorably discharged 27 months later after serving more than a year overseas as an infantry captain. At the close of the World war he returned to New Albany to resume his law practice but moved to Florida during the land boom years between 1925 and 1928. Always active in veterans affairs he was one of the organizers of the New Albany post of the American Legion. Later he became post commander and served one year as judge advocate of the state legion department. Outstanding in his career of public service was his record as public counselor of the public service commission He was credited with obtaining utility rate reductions estimated at 000,000 annually. He resigned the post to accept the Democratic nomination for United States senator. An able orator large of stature with a sharply protuding jaw, he presents a rugged hut genial appearance. Minton is married and has three children. Mary Anne, 10. Johnny, 8. and Sherman Jr AMEKK AN PAIR FACE NAZI TRIAL AS SPIES BERLIN, Nov 7. iUP> — Two Americans, one a woman, believed held by the Germans on suspicion of espoinage, will face judges of the people's court, most of them army officers, it was learned today. The Americans are Miss Isabel Lillian Steele of Hollywood, and Richard Roiderer. formerly of Chicago, both naturalized citizens of the United States. They have been held in German prisons here and in Munich for months, without formal charges, but it is believed they were suspected of either being spies or of subversive activities. The cases were understood to have been turned over to the people’s court, despite the fact a report of the proceedings against them has not been given the United States consular authorities here, who have been interested in the investigation.

Insull’s Honor Upheld By Aids LIKE “STERLING” ON SILVER, TESTIFIES ( O DEFEN DAN T; ACCOUNTING DEFENDED CHICAGO, Nov. 7, (UP 1 —Defense witnesses in the $143,000,000 Insutl mail fraud trial testified yesterday to the "integrity" of Samuel Insull, while the government, in cross-ex-amination. hammered away at unusual features of Insull bookkeeping. Clarence W. Sills, one of the 17 defendants. director of the defunct Corporation Securities company and vice president of Halsey-Stuart company. Insult's brokerage house, testified that the name of Samuel Insull behind a stock or bond "was like sterling on a piece of silver." "I'll always have the fullest confidence in Mr. Insull's integrity and the soundness of any securities bearing the name of one of his companies," Sills said. "The name of Samuel Insull behind a stock or bond was like sterling on a piece of silver, and that went for the public, too.” Sixty days before the Insull crash Sills resigned from Halsey-Stuart and Corporation Securities. He denied ho had engaged in "rigging" the market, hut admitted he bought Middle West Utilities stock "under cover” through a small broker. Although he was cautions, he said, not to reveal his connection with Halsey-Stuart in the transactions, Sills insisted his purpose was not to boost Insull prices hut "frequently it was for the purpose of leveling off the price." Clarence T. MacNeillie, Insull’s right-hand man, reacted to cross-ex-amination by Leslie Salter, assistant attorney general, much the same as his superior had done during his four days on the witness stand. The tall, gangling Scot an dthe government prosecutor engaged in angry argument at frequent intervals. Salter took up the question of Corporation Securities bookkeeping methods. "The first statement of Corporation Securtities from October through December. 1929, showed $940,896 in organization expense against only $635,071 in gross earnings." Salter said. "Why was this expense charged to surplus capital instead of carings?" "It was the usual thing to do,” MacNeille replied. "You know that wasn’t the rea-

son.” "What was it, then?" "You knew that if your report was properly made it would show a loss of more than $300,000, and you didn’t want the public to know that." "That isn’t true.” MacNeille shouted and turned to the jury to explain, but Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson interrupted. “If there arc any speeches to be made,” he said, "counsel will make them." Jurors Lose Their Votes CHICAGO. Nov. 7. Seven Insull trial jurors were not permitted to vote yesterday. An election commission ruling is that if a Cook county voter is in Cook county he cannot vote by mail on an absentee ballot. Seven other jurors- there being two spares do not live in Cook county and were permitted to vote by mail. rENNSYLVAMA DEMOCRATIC’ PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 7, lUP' — Champions of th" Democratic new deal were victorious in the most sensational upset in Pennsyh'ania political history. As final returns trickled in today. Joseph F. Guffy <D' increased his lead to more than 107,000 over Senator David A. Reed, iRi. Guffy is the first Democratic senator elected in this state in 60 years. Returns from 7.301 of 7.956 voting districts gave Guffy 1,405.360 and Reed 1.297.780. Returns from 20 counties were entirely complete and only a few precincts were missing in a majority of the others. George H. Earle, Democrat and new dealer, was elected governor over Attorney General William A. Sehnader by a majority of nearly 50,000 The vote in 7,315 precincts was Earle 1,386,512 and Sehnader 1,337,089. Reed’s persistent attacks upon the new deal were believed to have caused him to run afr behind his companion on the Republican ticket, Sehnader. Pennsylvania's furious campaign, involving bloodshed on the eve of election at Hazleton and federal investigation of campaign fund expenditures, was the key contest in the exciting off-year battles. Bankers and manufacturers, believing in the policies whleh Reed

has enunciated in the senate i 1922. united in saborting him believed that a Democratic J in this state would throw theM Mean party in its weakest poijJ history and that it would mini) publican eliani - ot regaimnji in the presidential year of iNn The strategy of i unes pj Demoeratii national conJ J I Pennsylvania with the bcli<| victory here would give the i let rat ion fat ... ire prestige qJ could gain by victory in hi# other states.
