‘TRYING’TROTZKY
Writer’s Questions on Mex
ican Activities Resented
by Conferees.
BACKGROUND—
Leon Trotzky, exiled from Soviet
Russia after Lenin’s death, was
asked to leave Norway last year
after trials of alleged anti-Soviet
plotters implicated him. Mexico
invited him and he went there.
Trotzky has repeatedly denied any
connection with plots against the
Stalin regime and lately a '‘jury’’
of American liberals has been en
gaged in a "trial" to give him a
chance to present his side of the
~ case to the world.
B? the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, April 17 —Carleton
Beals, American magazine writer, quit
the unofficial commission o£ liberals
"trying” Leon Trotzky today, declar
ing he did not think the hearing rep
resented a “true and serious” inquiry
into charges against the famous exile.
Shortly afterward, Trotzky closed
his defense against accusations in re
cent treason trials at Moscow that he
plotted widespread sabotage of Rus
sia’s industries and railroads.
Beals’ resignation came after a sharp
exchange between himself and Trotzky.
In a letter to Dr. John Dewey, New
York educator and chairman of the
commission, Beals said:
“I do not consider the proceedings
a true and serious investigation of
■ charges against Trotzky. For this
. and other reasons my further serv
ices would not be fruitful.”
Questioned on Borodin.
During yesterday’s session Beals
asked if Trotzky had sent Michael
Borodin, Communist leader in China
and former Soviet news agency official,
to Mexico in 1919 as a party organizer.
Trotzky denied he had instructed
Borodin to go to Mexico. He added
Beals’ informant was a “liar,” saying
Beals “sought to compromise my posi
tion.”
It was learned authoritatively that
Beals subsequently engaged in a vig
• crous argument with John Finerty
of Washington, D. C., counsel for the
commission, who contended Beals’
questions about Borodin "had no place
In any court of law.”
That discussion was said to have
culminated in Beals’ declaration that
either he or Finerty would have to
quit. Other members backed Finerty,
•It was said, and Beals’ “irrevocable
resignation” followed today.
Beals’ Questions Criticized.
The commission met in executive
session today. Dewey later announced
receipt of Beals’ letter and said the
•■jury’’ had "formally expressed its
awareness of the complete impropriety
of Beals’ questions.”
Dewey added, "This commission
gladly leaves to the public whether
the investigation is fair, serious and
complete."
Trotzky, in summing up his de
lense, referred to Beals’ question about
Borodin and said: "The falsehood
Which he has utilized has a definite
purpose to compromise my situation in
Mexico.”
Trotzky declared he never had any
personal relations with Borodin, that
he knew him only by his activity in
China, and had openly attacked him
M “the most harmful man in the
Chinese revolution.”
Trotzky added he had never con
cerned himself with Mexican political
Questions and had never sent anybody
to Mexico.
Trotzky said he had given “great
Importance to the question and its
Obvious purpose—to throw upon me
through other means new suspicions
In the eyes of the Mexican people,”
and demanded the commission throw
light on the source of Beals’ informa
tion.
Lenin’s Testament.
Questioned by Benjamin Stolberg,
a commission member, Trotzky said he
had once disavowed "for diplomatic
wasons” the famed "testament” In
which Nicolai Lenin is said to have
recommended ousting of Joseph Stalin,
aecretary-general of the Communist
fcarty.
Trotzky said Max Eastman, New
York editor, had published the docu
ment without consulting him while fee
was a member of the Russian govern
ment and that "sharpened an inner
Struggle,” which It was feared might
result in civil war. Trotzky’s disavowal,
which was “not a lie, not the full
truth,” was "imposed upon me by the
•ituation.”
Finerty asked Trotzky if the com
mission would not be justified in
considering his present political situa
tion in weighing the truth of falsity
of his testimony.
; Chuckling. Trotzky replied. “You
njust not consider me an angel.”
He recommended a check %nd recheck
of all his testimony.

(Continued From First Page.)
U. A. W. president, and Hugh Thomp
son, union organizer in charge of
the strike.
"I have declared in no uncertain
terms that there is no room in this
country for John L. Lewis hirelings,”
Hepburn told reporters.
“I am calling upon the workers
to end this economic loss by organiz
ing and sending to this office men
who truly represent them.
Will Find Friend in Court.
"Here they will find a friend In
court who will not attempt to fool
them as Martin and Thompson have
done.
"I am prepared to tell them that
General Motors executives are pre
pared to sit In on this conference.
“These is no doubt in my mind
that the difficulty can be solved in
that way. I make a sincere appeal
to the Oshawa workers to help this
government prevent the inroads of the
(Lewis) Committee for Industrial
Organization and paid agitators whose
records in the United States speak
for themselves.”
Because of the premier’s repeated
blasts at "outside agitators” and the
collapse of lest Saturday's negotia
tions because the union committee
included Thompson, Martin, who
remained at Oshawa, sent two
Canadians to represent the union at
today’s conference. They were C. H.
Millard, president of the Oshawa
local, and J. L. Cohen, Toronto labor
lawyer.
Thompson, however, went to the
Parliament Building and stayed In the
hallway outside Hepburn’s outer office
while Millard and Cohen went in.
Refused to Sign Statement.
Hepburn explained to reporters that
he had asked Cohen and Millard to
sign a statement that they "had no
instructions from and in no way
represented the C. I. O."
This, he said, they refused to do.
Throughout the afternoon Harry J.
Carmichael, vice president and general
manager of General Motors of Canada,
Ltd., and J. B. Highfleld, Oshawa plant
manager, sat in Hepburn’s inner office.
Hepburn talked to Millard and
Cohen in his outer office. The union
representatives made frequent trips to
the outer hallway to talk with Thomp
son. At one point Hepburn said they
had talked to Martin by telephone
from the outside office.
About half an hour before the con
ference broke up, Thompeon, Cohen
and Millard asked a reporter in an
ante room where they could use a
long-distance telephone. The reporter
took them to a large, open vault.
A secretary rushed into the premier’s
office, and Hepburn, flushed and
angry, rushed to the vault and stopped
the union men from putting in their
call.
"This thing isn’t going to be settled
by remote control," he shouted at
newspaper men standing nearby.
At his press conference, however,
Hepburn said:
I think Thompson showed great
temerity in appearing at this office at
all, let alone getting into a vault where
Valuable papers are kept, without per
mission from a secretary.”
Referring to the attempted tele
phone call from the vault, Hepburn
call from the vault, Hepburn said:
“It is clear this is Just another
Mart in-Thom peon set-up. I am de
termined to oppose the inroads of
Lewis and his organization, and there
was no course open to me but to bid
the gentlemen good afternoon.
“That is the situation as far as
Cohen, Thompson, Martin and Mil
lard are concerned. They know my
intentions to deal with the represent
atives of Canadian workers and not
the paid hirelings of John L. Lewis.
“So far as I am concerned, I won’t
resume negotiations with any of
those people. • • *
“In my desk are the complete con
cessions of General Motors, which
should be acceptable to the em
ployes. • • * But they will have to
send a new committee as far as I’m
concerned.”
Even before the conference was
slated to get under way, a General
Motors spokesman told newspaper
men the company would not deal with
Millard and Oohen, even though they
were Canadians, as long as they pro
fessed to speak for the United Auto
mobile Workers' International Union.
Doublecroas Charged.
Millard wore an international
union button in his lapel when he
went into Hepburn’s office.
Hepburn wound up his press con
ference by saying the breakdown
of negotiations was due to a “straight
doublecross” on the part of Martin
and Thompson.
After an early afternoon cabinet
meeting Hepburn conferred at length
with Carmichael and Highfield and
later with Cohen.
Cohen declared in a statement he
had telephoned to Martin from
Hepburn’s office, with the premier’s
knowledge, and then had informed
Hepburn a preliminary formula for
strike settlement was acceptable.
He said he then informed the
premier he wished to discuss it with
Millard and Thompson, who were
outside, and that “the premier agreed
and withdrew to his office.”
Telia of Interference.
“As I was about to put a call In
on a telephone to which I had been
directed by two or three press boys,
Mr. Hepburn suddenly appeared,”
Cohen said. "He asked me if that was
a long-distance call and on my reply
in the affirmative, he said, ‘Good
afternoon, everybody.’
"So far as I know the hospitality
which had been extended to me up
to that point terminated. * * • I
can only say that as a host Mr. Hep
bum is an estimable gentleman, but
as a mediator the prime minister,
under the stress of recent events,
perhaps overlooked the first qualities
which are required: Calm objective
Judgment and self-control.”
Before the negotiations broke down,
Martin told almost 2,000 persons gath
ered in the rain at Oshawa that "our
representatives have gone to the con
ference without any chips on their
shoulders.”
Union recognition was the principal
strike issue. The Oshawa workers
walked out with a demand that the
company recognize the United Auto
mobile Workers as their collective
bargaining agent. This the company
refused to do, saying it was willing,
however, to deal with a local com
mittee regardless of union affiliation.
Martin left for Flint, Mich., to
discuss “outlaw” sit-down strikes with
General Motors employes there. He
said he would go from Flint to Wash
ington to talk with Lewis about his
forthcoming campaign to organize
Ford workers.

BOND COMMITTEES
Power to Regulate Reorganiza

Douglas Reveals.
By the Associated Press.
Commissioner William O. Douglas
announced yesterday the Securities
Exchange Commission will ask Con
gress this week for power to regulate
bondholders' protective committees,
reorganization proceedings and in
denture trustees.
In a speech at the American Uni
versity Graduate School of Public
Affairs, he said yesterday the proposed
legislation would give the commission:
“Power to prevent persons from act
ing in a fiduciary capacity as protec
tive committee members if they have
material conflicts of interest or if
they take unto themselves prescribed
powers which history shows are op
pressive and unfair.
“Power to intervene in Federal re
organization proceedings and to lend
assistance to courts in reporting on
plans and in acting on other matters
pertaining to the administration of
those estates.
“Power to condition the contents of
trust indentures so that trustees acting
thereunder will assume a more active
role.”

held her head under the surface.
"I thought I was going,” Mrs. Wil
liamson told police.
The wife said her husband brought
her head above the surface and said,
“I’ll give you one more chance. Will
you come back to me?”
Instead of answering, the woman
said she screamed in terror. Then Wil
liamson thrust her under the water
again, she told police.
Meanwhile, three boys had been at
tracted to the scene on the bank
above. Williamson was said to have
threatened them as he released his
wife and climbed the bank. The
woman also climbed the bank, she said,
and started away at a rapid pace.
Mrs. Williamson told police her
husband followed her until she
reached a nearby store. There she
telephoned for police and Williamson
fled. Officers responded in a radio
scout car and picked Williamson up
from a description furnished by his
wife. Police said both man and wife
were soaking wet.
Williamson was charged with “as
sault by attempting to drown his wife”
and disorderly conduct. He was to
have a hearing this morning in North
ern District Police Court. Police indi
cated Williamson would be given tests
to determine his mental responsibility.
Mrs. Williamson said she had been
living with her sister in the 200 block
of South Pulaski street, Baltimore.

BACKGROUND—
War, just nine months old, holds
Spain in a tight but weary grip.
There are battles on half a dozen
fronts every day, but it is a grim
mer business, without the high
flame of patriotic ardor of last
July IS. There have been no ground
gains by either side since last
Autumn which would show very
clearly on a pocket atlas map.
Gen. Francisco Franco, plump
but hard-bitten army officer, who
wants Spain quite a bit like Mus
solini’s Italy, holds at least nom
inal sway over the western half
of the country. The government,
which proclaims a fight for democ
racy, and not, as Franco says, for
Bolshevism, has made strategic in
roads in Franco's territory in the
mineral lands 150 miles south of
Madrid and now is pressing against
Franco's most easterly positions at
Teruel, 60 miles from, the Mediter
ranean.
hy the Associated Press.
MADRID, April 17.—Government
authorities uncovered today what they
called the largest spy ring found in
the capital since the war begun.
Fifty-five persons were arrested, in
cluding a number of alleged “monks
in disguise” whom the authorities
alleged were financed by religious or
ganizations in Italy. All were accused
of taking part in an insurgent plot
to turn Madrid over to Insurgent
Generalissimo Francisco Franco.
The ring, police officials said, was
organizing secret troops within the
city to attack the defense barricades
from the rear.
One of the arrested monks was
quoted by police as saying he had come
to Spain from Italy at the outbreak
of the civil war and had established
contact with the insurgent conspirators
after making his way to Madrid in
disguise.
Big Guns Pound City.
Shells fell all along the Gran Via
today as insurgent artillery pounded
the center of Madrid in one of the
most severe bombardments in months.
Explosives tore gaping new holes in
buildings on the city's principal busi
ness streets. Semi-official estimates
placed casualties at 18 killed and 60
wounded. One shell which fell on a
queue of shoppers killed seven women.
After a noon lull madrilenos, who
have come almost to ignore the can
nonadings, were caught in another
burst of missiles and dogged from
doorway to doorway to find safety.
The Duchess of Atholl, Conservative
member of the British House of Com
mons, and Miss Ellen C. Wilkinson,
Laborite member, were sitting with
friends in the hotel dining room
w'hen the shell burst. One woman in
the dining room fainted.
Rebels Hold Sector.
West of the city, Gen. Jose Miaja’s
government soldiers kept up sporadic
fighting and artillery fire. Some 3.000
insurgents still held their ground in
the University City sector, the north
western corner of Madrid, although
the government declared they were
isolated from the insurgents’ Casa de
Campo army, just across the river.
Government troops seeking to encir
cle Teruel, about 150 miles east of
Madrid, met fierce resistance.
The air ministry in Valencia an
nounced government pilots downed
four insurgent Heinkel (German) air
planes today in combat on the Teruel
front. An insurgent communique in
Talavera de la Reina said three gov
ernment airplanes were shot down in
the same sector.
Valencia newspapers alleged 38
German airplanes had been flown
from Hanover, Germany, to Burgos,
Spain. These reports coincided with
concern in London that planes might
be used for transporting men and
munitions to Spain while the land and
sea patrol policed the surface.
In the north the Basques, Madrid's
northern allies, Inflicted heavy casual
ties on insurgents at Eibar, near

AIR CONTRABAND FEARED.
LONDON, April 17 (SP).—'The possi
bility contraband runners may evade
an international patrol of Spain
through air shipments appeared to
night to be one of the gravest of several |
problems confronting enforcement of
Europe’s neutrality.
The patrol begins Monday midnight.
Concern was felt that planes might
transport munitions and men, which
are embargoed among the 27 nations
of the "Hands oil Spain Committee,"
when the Valencia government charged
that 36 Junkers (German-made),
planes had been flown to the in
surgents.
Starting at midnight Monday, war
ships of Great Britain, France, Ger
many and Italy will form an interna
tional neutrality fleet on the Spanish
coasts. They will be supplemented by
land agents to observe traffic into
Spain across the French and Portu
guese borders. The plans, neutrality
officials pointed out, make no pro
vision for control of aerial shipments.
The Neutrality Committee "tem
porarily excluded” from the observa
tion scheme the port of Ifni, Spanish
Morocco; Rio De Oro, on the north
west coast of Africa; the Canary
Islands, off the African coast; Rio

Suhay, who stood in a doorway. At a
nod from a postal clerk at the general
delivery window. Baker moved forward
and recognized Power from a photo
graph.
As he ordered Power to put his
hands up, Suhay, Hoover said, opened
fire from the rear. Both agents re
turned the fire, but were seriously
hampered by the presence of bystand
ers.
"The gunman always has the ad
tage over the officer,” Hoover com
mented, "as he doesn't worry about
possibility of stray shots hitting inno
cent people.”
Hoover said the shooting again em
phasizes the fact there are more than
500,000 "armed criminals” at large
in .this country—more, he declared,
than "the Army and Navy combined.”
This estimate, he explained, takes into
account only those armed with "dead
ly weapons,” and excludes the "swind
lers, embezzlers, petty thieves, rack
eteers and others who don’t use guns."
Many of these underworld guns have
been stolen from National Guard ar
mories, stores and individuals, he
added.
“Our records show,” he said, "that
2,707 guns have been stolen from ar
mories since January, 1933, with 338,
381 rounds of ammunition. Two hun
dred and fifty-six persons have been
convicted in these robberies.”
