VIENNA. Oct. 21. (#>—'The Ger
man Prince Bernhard von Sachsen
Meiningen and his wife, Princess
Margot, were arrested in Carinthia
’ today in connection with an alleg
ed Nazi conspiracy.
The arrest was occasioned by the
prince's carrying a Nazi flag on
1 an automobile he drove through the
streets of Klagenfurt yesterday.
Taken to a police station, he
aroused suspicion when he asked
permission to telephone to his wife !
at his castle near Pitzels'.aecten,
I Carinthia. The police, it was alleged, j
overheard him instruct her to ”de- |
story the documents.”
Thereupon, the police, who were
listening in. notified the gendar
mes at Pitze^taetten. -
A gendarme lorry loaded with 12
men rushed to the castle, arrested i
* the princess, searched the house !
and grounds and found allegedly |
Incriminating documents. These i
were said to include letters from
IDr. Joseph Goebbels, reich minis
ter of public enlightenment and
propaganda, and Wilhelm Goering.
Chancellor Hitler’s righthand man.
The princess was taken to Klag
enfurt and questioned extensively,
but was allowed later to return to
the castle for the night under the
guard of two detectives. The prince
was held in jail.
MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. Oct. 21. (AV-After
, firming moderately in early trad
ing on overnight Russian news,
the stock market turned extremely
bearish in the final hour today and
prices slumped 1 to 5 or more
points under a heavy selling wave.
The alcohols led the decline as
rumors of “bad news" for this
group appeared in the board rooms.
The close was weak. Transfers ap
proximate 1.600.000 shares.
Farm implement and rail stocks
were up 1 to around 2 points at
one time, apparently in response to
possibilities of the establishment of
formal trade and diplomatic rela
tions with the Soviets. Unconfirm
ed reports that the government was
preparing to regulate profits of the
distillery companies brought a '-wilt
unloading of these issues and all
other categories toppled soon after.

few minutes, but were unable to

that ‘•greenbackism” would not cure
the present ills of the rural com
munities. If inflation will Jump
the prices of farm products, they
argue, there will be at least an
equivalent advance in the goods
that the farmer buys. And the
situation will actually be no dif

•
Another Derailed As
Switch Is Left
Open
HAVANA, Oct. 21. vP}—A second
passenger train running from San
tiago to Havana was derailed today
at Jovellanos, in Matanzas pro
vince, by unidentified persons who
opened a switch.
The engine and baggage car left
the rails, but no one was injured.
The first locomotive and two
baggage cars on the Santiago ex
press, were derailed early today
when an explosion blew up nearly
400 feet of track near the town of
Empalme, Matanzas province, about
50 miles from Havana.
There were do casualties.
The explosion came amidst un
settled labor conditions that grew
more serious steadily, despite the
government's vigorous moves to
settle the difficulties.
Railroad connections between
Havana and points east of Matan
zas province were stopped by a
strike of railroaders who seek an
nulment of a rule which prevents
the transfer of employes from one
division to another.
The strikers claim the rule pre
vents many veteran employes from
taking jobs on other divisions on
the basis of their seniority in the
event they are laid off because of
a lack of business in their own
divisions.
Meanwhile, as police and soldiers
were placed at car bams to pre
vent a threatened strike of tram
workers sympathizing with the rail
roaders, Havana milk distributors
and bakers went on strike.

FARM STRIKE
IS DECLARED
OVERJATION
‘New Deal Same Old
Stacked Deck/
Says Leader
DES MOINES, Oct. 21. (/Pi—The
“new deal” for agriculture Is “the
same old stacked deck," with "the
same old dealers,” Milo Reno, pres
ident of the National Farmers Holi
day Association, said as he offic*al
ly proclaimed the opening of a na
tional farm strike at noon today.
Have Been Patient’
“We have reached the point
where statements and promises are
mere gestures to lull the fanner
to sleep that his enslavement may
be completed." Reno said in a let
ter sent to the 23 state presidents
of Holiday associations.
He termed the strike a "non buy
ing. non paying program ”
“We have been patient and long
suffering" Reno said. "Our de
mands, petitions and prayers have
been made a political football for
jingo politicians controlled by the
money lords of Wall Street.
“The strike agreed upon in the
May 3rd meeting, to go into effect
on May 13. was postponed until
the administration could ha^e an
opportunity to demonstrate its pro
gram for agriculture. This program
is neither economically sound, nor
is it corrective.”
Reno asserted the association's
demand for cost of production for
farm products “is fundamental in
solving our problems.*’
Results Unknown
He urged state association presi
dents to seek support of civfc. re
ligious and labor groups.
As the strike went into effect, no
reports were immediately available
as to the degree of cooperation
forthcoming from fanners.
Reno's notification went to state
association leaders, including:
A. W. Cameron. Clovis. N. M.; R

American And Russian
Influence Would
Dominate East
SHANGHAI, Oct. 21. </P)—Many
Chinese here today expressed th*
belief the possible recognition of
Russia by America certainly would
result in tempering Japan's policy
towards this nation.
The Chinese press held that
American recognition would bring
“far-reaching results in the Par
East."
Interest Protection
Vernacular newspapers saw re
cognition as resulting In the two
nations combining their influences
to protect their respective interests
in the Orient and simultaneously
restraining Japan on the Asiatic
mainland.
The consensus of the vernacular
editorials appeared to be set out
in these words:
“If Russia achieves United States
decognition , it will constitute a
tremendous success of Russian di
plomacy towards the Par East,
simultaneously marking r. dismal
failure for the Japanese.
*War Threatens*
“A Russo-Japanese war unques
tionably threatens the Par East.
“Japan seeks to enlist the pow
ers' support by branding Russia a
common enemy. Russia also seek*
assistance and appears to be win
ning the greatest possible aid in
the form of United States recogni
tion.
"If this materializes, the United
States-Russian influence will dom
inate the Far East, Japan notwith
standing."
WORLD WATCHES
AMERICAN MOVE
(By The Associated Press)
Men and nations took a varying
view today of deveiopnflnts fore
casting American recognition of
Russia.
Comment flashed swiftly from
the capitals of the world—and from
remote corners as well—as tha
word went out that Pres. Mikhail
Kalinin had accepted Pres. Roose
velt's invitation to enter into nego
tiations looking to possible recog
nition.
In brief, the reaction was:
Borah Praises F. D.
Sen. Borah of Idaho, former
chairman of the senate foreign
relations committee—praised Pres.
Roosevelt’s move toward recogni
tion. Termed it "of supreme mo
ment In the cause of peace , .
Pres. William Green of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor—said be
fore recognizing Russia, United
States should insist that U. S. S.
R. cease attempts to bring "world
revolution through force.’’
Sen. Arthur Robinson. Indiana
republican — asserted recognition
would be "utterly foolhardy.*
Geneva — International circles
saw U. S. move as step toward
bringing Russia out of isolation.
League members thought if Russia
should join the loss of Japan and
Germany would be powerfully off
set
•Ends Outlawry*
London—Political quarters felt
American view finally ends Rus
sia's “political outlawry." British
business foresaw the rise of a new
and potent competitor for Soviet
trade. Government officials said
they weren’t surprised.
Parts—Government circles re
garded the exchange of messages
as solidifying international relations
and opening broader trade possi
bilities for the United States.
Tokyo—Gen. Sadao Araki's curt
"Japan need not be apprehensive
at the prospect of American recog
nition of the Soviet" epitomised the
official Japanese reaction. Gen.
Araki Is minister of war. A for
eign office spokesman voiced the
government's diplomatically correct
position when he said, "Japan would
welcome a resumption of normal
relations with her two huge and
powerful neighbors."
