Prevent Arrest
TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 20
-GTV-A shower of rotten eggs, ist
fights and a milling crowd of sev
eral hundred persons prevented
Earl Browder. communist candi
date for president, from making a
scheduled radio campaign speech
here tonight.
At least three persons were
slightly injured In the fights
which broke out as the candidate
attempted to gain entrance to sta
tion WBOW.
Browder, arrested September
30 when he attempted to make a
speech here, retreated to his ho
tel after the disturbance at the
radio station tonight and announc
ed a short time later a protest was
being sent to President Roose
velt. He said the protest would say
"Mobs are taking charge in In
diana, and there is no chance for
redress." '
The. injured are Harold Har
vis of Louisville. Ky., an Associat
ed Press photographer, struck
several times-when be started to
take a picture; Hartford Larri
on, secretary of the workers' al
liance of Indiana, and Esther Rip
ple of Terre Haute.
Several hundred persons block
ed, both front and rear entrances
to the radio station an hour be
fore the time"- for Browder's
speech, i During the melee Miss
Sylvia Penner of Indianapolis,
who said she was a "communist
party worker," crowded her way
Into the hall leading to the radio
station and offered to make the
speech for Browder. Station offi
cials declined to allow her to give
the address, however, on- advice
of attorneys.
Browder went to the station to
give the speech a few hours after
Superior Court Judge Albert
Owens had decided to withhold
Judgment until tomorrow on a pe
tition for an injunction to prevent
police interference with the
speech."
Browder eaid tonight he would
remain in Terre Haute until to
morrow in order to be present
when the ruling is given in that
case. '
Judge Owens withheld a "deci
sion in the case on motion of
Browder's attorneys after he bad
indicated he could not grant the
petition. -1
Browder called upon the Am
erican people, in the speech he
had prepared for radio delivery,
to ''stamp out the tyranny which
Hearstv the Liberty League and
the republican party seeks to es
tablish." He released the speech for pub
lication after crowds which
blocked Etudio entrances and
hurled rotten eggs at him pre
vented actual delivery over the air
as scheduled.
- Browder, -in the prepared ad
dress, made several references to
his arrest on his recent 'previous
visit here.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20P)
Telegrems of protest against mob
interference in Indiana which pre
vented Earl Browder, communist
presidential candidate from mak
lug a radio speech tonight, were
sent President Roosevelt and Gov

munist party.
The telegram to President Roo

MOSCOW. Oct. 21 --Soviet
Russia, determined to force sun-

said today. -
Soviet commissars were repre
sented as having taken a strong
6tand for rushing airplanes to the
desperately-driven Spanish gov

The Russian government, these
sources said, has resolved not to
yield an inch further in delaying
counter-measures against alleged
violations of Spanish neutrality by
lascist powers.
(Russia has charged Italy, Ger
many and Portugal with sending
assistance to Spanish insurgents).
Soviet demands for "practical
measures" to enforce the non-in-
tervention accord signed by 27 na.

neutrality committee In London.
Officials did not hesitate to ex
press privately the feeling that
these are the "gravest" daya
Europe has seen in many years.

to adopt a firm stand as the only
way to preserve European peace.

Great Britain, harassed on two
sides for swift action to avert a

ity in Spain, struggled to arrange

The Spanish note charged that
a large number of tanks and 100
flame-throwers were landed at
Cadiz, Spain, from Italy, October
is.
It charged also that a German
ship, which the Spanish govern
ment said it believed was a de
stroyer, landed a cargo of war ma.
terials at Algeciras, Spain. Gov
ernment officials susDected the
munitions were principally anti
aircraft guns, the note said.
Lord Plymouth prodded Italy.
Germany and Portugal to answer
Russian charges that they aided
the Spanish insurgents with war
materials made contraband by the
Hands off Spain" accord. .
Only If they responded, observ
ers believed, could the committee
be summoned to meet Russia's
threat to bolt the pact unless
prompt measures were taken to
halt the alleged violations.
