CAP) Eduard Bonos, Czechoslovakia!, foreign mln- crowd has found It can catch more i trior, warned the lcngne of nations council today that If anvone strikes congressmen with Chester Davis mo- lasses than with Tugwell vinegar. You remember those three amendments to the AAA act which were thrown into the ash can at the last session of congress by southern Demo cratic s e n a -tors, who said the amendments would make Prof. i ' Paal MalJoo Tugwell a Rex or something like that. Well, Messrs. Davis and Wallace have privately retrieved them, dusted them off, sugared them very, very cautiously and are going to try them again this session. The plan is clever. Instead of pro posing all three at once, Messrs. Da via and Wallace are going to put for ward one at a time. The two uon controversial amendments wilt go first. Last to bo offered will be the one extending the AAA power over small crops not in the ' baste com modity group. Each probably will be attached to some bill, so as not to stand alone . What' heartened Coots Davis and Wallace was an inside tip they re ceived a few days ago that Virginia Senator Byrd has changed his mind. Byrd led the successful resistance to the amendments last time. Since th i, Virginia farmers have voted in a referendum to continue the corn-hog program. Also, co-op-operation from Virginia tobacco growers has been extraordinary. Fur thermore, there are some Virginia j potato growers who have been trying to get their commodity Into the basic list. Alt Byrd will say Is that he has nothing to say, which tends to con-! firm AAA hopes. The AAA-ers already have gone to work on the farm crowd to get approval for revival of the amend ments. Soon they Intend to call In the members of congress and attempt to get an agreement before the amendments are formally offered. Great stress will be laid by the AAA-ers on the fact that these are not Tugwell amendments. Prof. Tug well probably will be hidden when the congressmen call. That fact may give you a hint as to how things are going within the AAA now. Mr. Hitter knows how to use sugar, also. The conciliatory gestures he hu been making lately to the Catho lics In Oermany do not mean that he has changed his mind about religion. The truth behind it all is that the Saar election Is. going to be hem about a month hence, and 72 per cent of the Saar voters are Catholics. Hitler has fixed everything with Prance so that the Saar undoubtedly j will go back to Germany, but he cannot afford to have the Catholics pile up & strong opposition vote. Hitler really used his head for something besides bombastic words when he worked out the recent Saar agreement with France. The best minds in our state department be lieve he avoided ft certain European war next spring. It was not hard to do because France was thoroughly frightened. What happened on the Saar busi ness was this: Hitler let it be known indirectly in France some weeks ago that ho was going to get the Saar back cither by votes or a putsch. Franco thereupon moved up troop re inforcements to the Rhine as a ner vous counter-threat. Hitler accepted the dare and passed out word that preparation were ready to move up the shock troops of the Austrian Nazi loclon still on Gorman soil. This loft France two choices: (At An endlow, fight to hold the Saar. : which would gain her nothing; Bi j a peaceable effort to get fifty million dollars promised by the treaty for: letting the Saar go. That was no choice for Frenchmen They took the fifty million dollars. President Roosevelt thinks he can re-roll a pill with the ben of them whn he wants to. blow at the unity of the little entente Czechoslovakia, and Rumania war will result. By JAMES A. MILLS (Copyright, 1934. by the Associated Press) SZEGED, Hungary, Dec. 7. (AP) After intermittent forays across the frontier Into. Hungary this morning, Serbian troops attached to the Yugo slav army retired, temporarily reliev ing a. highly dangerous situation. As the forces remain only a short distance from the frontier, however, their presence Is a source of great anxiety to Hungary. Homes Raided The official Hungarian news agency said the "Chetnlks," an organization of armed men, made midnight raids on evacuated Hungarian homes In Yugoslavia, carrying -off valuables. A pogrom, agency said, was an nounced by the Chetnlks to be Im pending against Hungarians. The Hungarian news agency declar ed the Yugoslav authorities In their wholesale deporatlons did not spare any one by reason of age, sex or til nessi "At the railroad termini on tin front point." said the agency, "moth ers were looking for lost children and lost children were looking for moth ers. No Mercy Shown "The Yugoslav police showed a com plete lack of mercy to those expelled. The refugees were forced at points of bayonets to leave their homes, often in the thick of night, often without any chance to take anything with them, and were then marched under guard to the railroad stations. They did not even spare a 70-year-old man with ah insane wife. "Among the refugees aro 80 babies. One thousand Hungarians have been expelled from the Baranya district Yugoslavia (Continued on Page Four.) TAKES ' FIRST STEP ON HUNGARIAN SAYS SLAYING OF KING PLOTTED IN U. S. GENEVA, Dec. 7. (AP) Asked to particularize his reference to an American connection with the assas sination of King Alexander of Yugo slavia, Tibor Eckhardt. Hungarian representative to the league of na tions, made the following statement to the Associated Press today. "I have Information which I be lieve to be authentic that last sum mer In Youngstown, O., a big Croat meeting, attended by several thou sands, was held at which a death sentence upon the king was an nounced and cheered. This fact was reproduced In Youngstown newspapers. YOUNGSTOWN. O., Dec. 7. ( AP) Newspaper reporters assigned to meetings of foreign-born residents here said today that several meetings of Croats had been held in the last year at which the possibility was raised that King Alexander of Yugo slavia might be assassinated.

The vote of 797 for and 219 against the measure was unchanged by the official count. The resolution adopt ed provided for making an amend ment to the city charter by adding a new section authorizing the city to create further bonded indebted ness for the purpose of acquiring the sewage disposal plant. An official proclamation of Mayor George Por ter was read on the amendment to the charter. Tho council discussed the employ ment of an engineer for construction of the plant, but no selection was made. A resolution was also adopted au thorizing a contract with the state highway commission . to resurface North Riverside between Sixth street and the city limits. It was provided in the resolution that the city govern the traffic regulations In that area, with the further provision that burdensome restrictions shall not be made by the city to Impede the rea sonable speed of state highway traffic. Bv JOSEPH E. SHARKEY (Associated Press Foreign Staff.) (Copyright, 1934. by the Associated Press.) GENEVA, Dec. 7. Tibor Eckhardt. Hungary's delegate to the League or Nations, charged today that Croats meeting In the United States had pro nounced a death sentence against tne late King Alexander of Yugoslavia, who . was assassinated two month ago In Marseilles. He Included this charge in his de fense before the League of Nations council against Yugoslav charges that Alexander's death was plotted tn Hun gary. Reply to Yugoslav. His statements were In reply to direct accusations leveled agatmt Hungary by Bogolyub Yevtlch, Yugo slavia's foreign minister, who de nounced the Hungarian government. In answer, Eckhardt said the assas- WASHINOTON, Dec. 7. ( AP) Be hind the executive order withdraw ing from entry the publlo domain In 12 states officials said today was the Intention to thwart land speculators as well as the desire to give congress a chanc e to expand the acreage which may be Included in grazing districts. . , While little had been said about land speculation, it was learned that the grazing administration had ex perienced difficulty with this buga boo. It developed that private lands In proposed grazing districts Increased in value as much as 100 per cent. It developed also that homesteaders, real or pretended, began moving Into the proposed grazing districts. The Taylor grazing act grants graz ing prl lieges to tnoae resident of the dL trlcta set up under it. With drawal if the public domain precludes all settlement and thus puts ft stop to imposition of livestock men of the localities for which grazing districts hav been proposed. Attorneys of the Interior depart ment have clarified their findings as to what types of entry may be made under the withdrawal order. They say mining locations are not forbid den, nor are oil and gas locations. These two types of entry affect, only sub-surface rights, except in certain well -de fined cases, and are covered separately In legislation. No interest In grazing lands Is obtained by fil ing such claims, except for domestic livestock. The Taylor act limited to 80,000,000 acres the area which could be in cluded in grazing districts. Proposals have been made to remove this limi tation and permit Inclusion of the entire 173.000,000 remaining unappro priated. If desired.

Dragging operations were per formed in the river in a fruitless ef fort to recover the body.

(AP) A spec ial dispatch to the Journal today from Gold Beach, where Hugo Mayer, mountain recluse, was taken after his arrest on a muider charge In the Curry wilds, quoted the hermit as having stated he shot and killed Robert Fantz, a neighbor, because he feared Fants was plotting to slay him. He arrived at Gold Beach when he was 22 years old, the article stated, nfter fleeing from Germany to escape military service. For the past 28 years he has lived a hermit's life, In the tangled underbrush and under the great trees of the coast wilderness. "Because I liked the rough coun try I rarely contacted others except ing neighbors." the dispatch quoted Mayer, "and I devoted my life to en deavoring to match wits against the wuaerness. So far I believe X suc ceeded, but because of my deserved success, jealousies arose and X learn ed my presence and ability were not favored, especially by Robert Fantz. "I believe I can bring forward witnesses to prov the statement continued, "that FantB planned and put into effect methods by which he hoped to either burn me out, com promise me as a Ctsklyou forest fire bug, or actually slay me on the trail. "I knew that he could destroy me and conceal everything," the Quota tion continued, "because of my keep ing to myself and none to Inqulrs should I be missing.
