NEUTRALITY PLAN
Reversal in Communist Po
sition Averts Threat to
Blum Cabinet.
%1 the Associated Press.
PARIS. December 9.—The strength
®f the Popular Front government was
restored today after a crisis which
threatened to force the resignat.on of
Socialist Premier Leon Blum.
Possibility of a Communist defec
tion from the coalition because of its
Insistence on French neutrality In the
Spanish civil war was averted when
a Leftist leader declared the party
would support non-intervention.
The Communist spokesman, Marcel
Cachin, said the party would advocate
•trengthening the ‘‘hands-ofT’ agree
ment by urging its extension to pro
hibit transportation of volunteers to
Spain.
The statement satisfied the demands
©f Socialists, who, with the Radical
Socialists in the Blum cabinet, had
demanded France adhere to neutrality,
Xor a showdown.
It represented a reversal in the
Communist position, interpreted by
political observers as recognition that
continued attacks on the premier
might necessitate dissolution of the
Popular Front and lead to the forma
tion of an anti-Communist govern
ment

BUCHANAN HINTS
CUT IN1LS. COSTS
Believes Expenses Should
Be Pared, but Budget
Can’t Be Balanced.
B* the Associated Press.
An assertion that the new Congress
ought to be able to cut both relief and
ordinary Government expenditures
was linked today by Chairman Bu
chanan, Democrat, of Texas, of the
House Appropriations Committee with
another that he believed it could not
balance the budget.
"But I think,” he said, ”we ought
to take a considerable step toward
balancing the budget so that we can
do so at the 193^ session.
"Increased taxes will keep up with
such things as social security, so that
when we get rid of relief appropria
tions we shall have a balanced budget,
even with some appropriations for
public works.”
Buchanan said he favored some
form of permanent public works
program, although not necessarily an
annual appropriation for works
projects.
He expressed the belief Congress
should supply funds to be held In
reserve until “some acute unemploy
ment situation” develops. Then the
money might be used for projects In
vestigated and approved In advance
to take up the slack in employment.
The chairman expressed a hope for
ending "enormous relief" expendi
tures, but said “we can't do it this
year.”
Issue to Be Faced Soon.
With the current appropriation for
works relief nearly exhausted, Con
gress will face early in the coming
session the problem of whether to
provide more funds.
"Speaking without knowledge of
what Is In the budget," he said, “I
think we ought to be able to cut ex
penditures, for relief and other pur
poses, because the country is In a
better condition.”
The appropriations of the last Con
gress. including more than $2,000,
000,000 for the bonus, were $10,078,
000.000.

RUMANIAN “ROBIN HOOD”
GETS 5 YEARS IN PRISON
Authorities Ponder How to Hold
Bandit Who Charms Guards
With His Eloquence.
hr the Associated Press.
BACAU, Rumania, December •.—
Rumania's silver-tongued "Robin
Hood,” the celebrated Coroju, who
practices banditry with a smile and
frowns at bloodshed, was sentenced
yesterday to five years in prison.
Moreover, authorities are consider
ing getting stone-deaf guards to keep
Coroju behind the bars.
They are frankly nervous about his
siren-like eloquence. For, the last
time Coroju escaped—one of a long
series—he not only walked out him
self. but persuaded his guards to join
him in a life of romantic outlawry.
Coroju restricts his raids to wealthy
estate owners, like the English Robin
Hood of Sherwood Forest, and simi
larly distributes his loot among the
poor, he stoutly maintains.
