Abd-el-Krim Breaks Nine
Year Silence With Hint
Will Be Good If French
Permit Retrun To Haunts
PARIS (AP) Abd-el-Krim, erst
while troublesome war lord of the
Riffs In Morocco, haa broken nine
years of silence with word that he
la weary of his exile on the Isle of
Reunion.
He hint he will be good If the
French will aet him free.
Almost as proud as in the days
when he was riding high in his
campaign to drive the Spanish out
of Morocco, the mountain chieftain
haa made no formal supplication
for a pardon. ,
He merely has let it be known
that he always really was fond 01
the French and has been a greatly
misunderstood man.
Took Harem Alone
Abd-el-Krim was permitted to
take his harem Into exile with him
his family at present numbers 3b
persons but even bo, he says, lite
on the torrid tiny isle in the Indian
ccean Is very boresome for an active
person like himself.
He has a commodious mansion
and a pension of about $7,000 a year
from the French government, but
with prices what they are and a
family of 36 to support, his domes
tic problems are almost as trying
as the climate and the boredom,
. he says.
Vowing to avenge the death of
his father at the hands of the Span
iards, Abd-el-Krim assumed leader
ship of the turbulent tribes of the
Riff a mountainous section south
of Spanish Morocco and attacked
the Spaniards, besting them con
sistently for almost live years and
driving them to the coast.
Error Attacked French
His successes contributed to the
Internal strife In Spain which led
to the dictatorship of Primo de
Rivera.
He set up a Riff republic with
himself as head and attempted to
obtain recognition from Spain,
France and England by offering
mining concessions. And he dream
ed of conquering all of Morocco,
both Spanish and French, and mak
ing himself the sultan of a new
Mohammedan nation.
In 1925 he made the mistake oi
attacking the French. He found the
French colonials and foreign legion
more difficult to deal with and
soon was pushed back into the
mountains, where hla own men de
serted him and he was compelled
to surrender.
Four months later he was deport
ed to Reunion an isle which
France reserves for prisoners of lofty
station. Among those exiled there in
the past were Hanh-Tal. emperor ol
Annam, in French Indo-Chlna: Ran
avalona, queen of Madagascar; and
Ursule de Machimba, princess or
the Comoro islands.

President Draws Up New
Deal Program Following
End Conflict With Para
guayCanal Is Feature.
LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) Munching
white bread again after a regimen
of war-time substitutes. Bolivia Is
drafting ambitious reconstructive
projects, including a 200-mlle canal
at an altitude 12,000 feet above sea
level.
Since the three-year war with
Paraguay over the Oran Chaco re
gion ended by armistice in June.
President Tejada Sorzano and his
advisers have drawn up a "new
deal" program which, if carried
out, will transform Bolivia's eco
nomic face. It includes:
Canalization of the Rio Desagua
dero from Oruro. lofty South Ameri
can tin capital, for 200 miles to
Lake Tltlcaca. to enable ore ship
ments to the world's highest nav
igable lake and export by way ol
Peruvian railways.
Power nnrt Ralls Planned
A vast hydro-electric and irriga
tion project to harness the waters
of Titlcnca, altitude 12,500 feet,
supply energy for a great section
of the Bolivian plateau, and pump
water to Irrigate the surrounding
country for growing wheat and
other cereals which Bolivia now Im
ports. Railroads from the plateau to
bring the oil and agricultural pro
duce of the eastern lowlands to
the mountain mining region, where
most of Bolivia's buying power is
concentrated.
The eastern provinces, Benl and
Santa Cruz, are living in poverty
because they have lacked a market
for their products. This was one ot
the reasons for Bolivia's claim to
an outlet on the Paraguay river
through the Chaco. and while Bol
ivian peace conference delegates
press its arguments for a gateway
to the Atlantic, the La Paz govern
ment hopes to give the distressed
provinces a . home market in the
western mountains.
Bolivia's financial situation may
permit an Immediate start on only
a few of the works, but the whole
program is expected eventually to
take definite shape. The war taught
Bolivia an conomlc lesson she has
been buying great supplies of staples
while her own agricultural products
have been shut off from home mar
kets by lack of communications.
Vision World's Highest Canal
Digging of the world's highest
canal and extension of the plateau
railroads down through the Yungaa.
subtropical valleys notched in the
eastern slope of the Andes, to the
lowland farm and oil regions to the
east probably will be done by gov
ernment effort.
The Lake Tltlcaea power project,
however, is to be developed by Mau
rlcio Hochschlld. capitalist wltn
wide Interests in Bolivia, under a
government concession. President
Tejada Sorzano In a recent press
conference said that he expected the
project to develop 100.000 horse
power, enough energy to run all the
Bolivian railways.
More than C2S.000.000 will be
needed to build the electric power
works, which will pump water from
the lake to the precipice of Serata
mountain for conversion Into en
ergy. Under the government's plan,
the Hochschlld interests will have
five years to build the plant.
The American Grace company,
with shipping and other interests
on the Pacific coast. Is projecting
a pumping system to u 1 1 1 ize t he
lake for irrigation. President Tejada
Sorzano revealed.
Lowland! Want Hallroails
While the plateau follows these
projects with eagerness, attention
of, the lowland country to the east
and north Is centered on the rail
road plana.
Under one project, it is hoped
that a railway will extend from La
Paz. through the Yungas, to the
northern province of Benl. rich in
tropical fruits, timber, rubber nuts
and oils.
Another project would carry the
Potosi railway line eastward to the
old capital of Sucre, then down the
Andean slopes to the lowland coun
try, through rich cattle land, clear
to the oil region of Camirl near
the western edge of the Chaco.
All this will take millions, but
Dr. Tejada Sorzano proposes to start
by building roadbeds which can be
used by motor trucks until the
rails can be laid.

WASHINGTON, D. C (8pl One
of the most Important flag changes
since the World war took place re
cently when the swastika banner
was made the official national flag
of Germany. A bulletin from the
Washington. D. C, headquarters of
the National Geographic society de
scribes the nev flag and tells ot
the German emblems that preced
ed it.
"The new German flag," says the
bulletin, "Is a black swastika in a
circle of white on a field of red.
It replaces the black, white, and
red tricolor which was first flown
In 1B67 as the flag of the North
German Confederation. Its colors
combine the red and white of the
Haneatlc league and the black and
white of Prussia.
"These remain the official colors
of the Reich. Red and white sup
posedly standing for commercial
prosperity, and black and white
(part of the Hohenzollern arms) for
military strength.
King Changed Many Times
"The German empire kept the
tricolor as a merchant flag and In
troduced the Imperial flags wltji
the famous black eagle. After the
World war, when Germany became
a republic, black, red. and gold were
made the federal colors. The old
black, white, and red merchant flnR
was still ised. but with ' the new
rolors in the upper. Inside corner.
As for the imperial black eagle,
he was deprived of his crown, his
sceptre, and his orb, given red legs
and a red beak instead, and flown
ns the bird of the Reich.
"When Adolf Hitler came Into
power in 1033 things were changed
again. The red. black, and gold flag
reminded him of Germany's defeat,
so he abolished it and decreed the
black, white and red tricolor Ger
many's national flag.
Tricolor Gone Now
"He alnn ordered that the swas
tika banner of the Nazi party should
always be flown beside the tricolor,
saying that 'these flags unite the
glorious past of the German Relcn
with the vigor and rebirth of the
German race. Let them fly together
as a symbol of the power of the
state and the Internal unity of all
national sections of the German
people!'
"Now the tricolor is, gone and
the emblem of the Nazi party is
supreme in Germany.
"The swastika, or hooked cross,
has been used as design and symbol
since prehistoric times. It appears
on Celtic stones in Britain, in
Buddhist Inscriptions, in the ruins
of Troy, and in the monasteries ol
Tibet. The German swastika is left
handed: that Is. the arms, bent
at right angles . to the cross, are
turned to the left.'

DIGEST'S POLL ON
Five States in South and
West Give Total of 40,-
Votes With 53.28
Cent Against F. R.
Per
By n RfKir.lt
(United Press Staff Correspondent.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. (UP) -First
returns in the Literary Digest poll of
new dcol sentimrnt show 53.28 per
cent negative votes to the question:
"Do you approve the acts and pol
icies of tho Roosevelt new deal to
date?"
The returns, to be published in Sat
urday's Issue of the weekly, totaled
40,053 votes from five states in the
south and west. They are the first
batch of a 10.000.000 ballot straw vote,
taken in An attempt to forecast the
IP36 presidential election.
President Roosevelt's "other home
state" of Georgia, and Oklahoma gave
the new deal majorities In first tabu
lations. Iowa. Kansas and Missouri,
the other states in the first group,
rejected the administration.
Other Pulls Accurate.
Editors of the magazine said 500.000
ballots a day were being sent out this
week to the 48 states. In previous
similar polls, the magazine's straw
vote has been remarkably accurate in
forecasting election results. For ex
ample, the poll forecast the shatter
ing of the "solid south" in the 1028
Hoover-Smith contest.
A previous poll on the new deAl.
to practli-ally the same voters in the
pprlng of 1034 showed a national sen
tlment of 61.15 for the administra
tion to 38 85 against It, a larger per.
centne of popular approval for the
president than he received with 59.15
of the official Roosevelt-Hoover votes
in the 103 election.
Oeora; i a 'a Initial repress n t a t lo n of
3047 votes in the current poll showed
2778 indorsing the new deal to 1169
hostile ballots. The percentages are
70.38 yes and 29.62 no. In the 1934
poll the division was 82.43 yes and
17.57 no.
"This, at first glace might Indi
cate to some observers a loss in new
deal popularity." the editors comment.
"Possibly they will associate It with
the attacks on the new deal by Geor
gia's governor, Eugene Talmadge.
No Definite Conclusion.
"However, the Digest repeats that
It would be futile, at this at.ie of
the poll, to attempt to draw def.nite
conclusions."
Iowa, with 17,756 votes cast, showed
10.447 against the new deal a per
centage of 41.16 yes and 58 84 no
compared to a favorable vote for
Roosevelt in last year's poll.
The tabulation shows that In Kan
sas Roosevelt's popularity has de
clined since 1934 to 44.37 per cent,
on the basis of 4218 ballots cast. Mis
souri so far has returned 11.779 bal
lots, of which 46.82 per cent are for
the ne deal. Both states voted for
Rootevelt in 1932.
Returns from Oklahoma, totaling
2353 votes to date, show 5206 per
cent supporting the present national
administration and its polices.
