RUMORS OF GREAT INFLUENCE
PRESIDENT'S AIDES DENIED
WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. The diver
gence between history and actuality
haa rarely been wider or funnier
than the other day, when Benjamin
V. Cohen landed In New York after
a -vacation abroad. The New York
Timea chronicled the event in the
following faintly awe-Inspiring lan
guage: 'Benjamin V. Cohen, one of the
two young lawyera said to wield
more Influence with President Roose
velt than any other Americans, re
turned from Europe on the liner
Manhattan last night, surrounded by
a system of secrecy and protection
more elaborate than any remembered
In the port of customs men and
others who had met ships for the
last generation. Mr. Cohen was met
down the bay by his rejuited partner
In power, Thomas Corcoran."
The story, which was printed In
equivalent versions all over the
country, went on to tell of how
Corcoran went down the bay early,
on a special, private cutter bristling
with secret service agents. It de
scribed how the regular cutter, car
rying customs men and Immigration
officers, was delayed for half an hour
while Corcoran went aboard the
Manhattan. And It intimated that
the commander of the Manhattan.
Commodore A. B. Randall, had been
ordered to let no one else board his
ship until the sinister team of Co
hen and Corcoran were finally re
united. As It happens, the physical facts
of the story are strictly accurate.
Yet the story Itself la utterly untrue.
It was not Benjamin V. Cohen who
waa "surrounded by a system of
secrecy and protection." It was a
shipment of 10.000.000 ounces of
silver from the Spanish loyalist gov
ernment a mere droplet In the river
of unwanted white metal pouring
into the treasury under the strange
provisions of tho silver purchase act.
The precautions were so elaborate
because the loyalist government's
right to aell the silver was disputed
by Franco's rebel forces. It was
feared that the New York firm of
Sullivan and Cromwell, understood

BENES RESIGNS AS

Claims for Sudeten 'In

(By the Associated Press)
President Eduard Benea of Checho
slovakia resigned today as Germany
raised the question of reparations for
"Injustices" In Sudetenland since
1918, placing a new obatacle In tne
way of peaceful settlement of German-Czechoslovak
differences.
Benea, who had stood firm against ,
German demands until after the
Munich accord, waa said by some
sources to have resigned following re
newed German pressure based on
Adolf Hitler's personal antagonism.
It waa understood Gen. Jan Syrovy,
Czechoslovak I a 'a premier, would be
acting president until an election
could be arranged to choose Benea'
successor.
German financial experts were !
understood to be drawing up a bill
for damages "Inflicted by the Czechs
on the Sudetena since 1018" and in
formed observers believed Hitler would
press the reparatlona demands as in
sistently aa his previous ones.
The question waa to be laid before
the International commission for
supervision of the eesslon of Sudeten
land. Other European powers, meanwhile,
turned their attention to pressing
internal problems which grew out. of
the international crista or which had
existed previously.
Sir John Simon, chancellor of the
exchequer, told the house of com
mons In London today Britain had
no desire to shut tho Soviet union
out of "any future settlement of
