Carolina Convict Washington, Oct. 20. (AP) Chairman Dies (D., Tex.) of the house un-American committee suggested today the state de partment should look into fut ure relations with Russia be cause of testimony that a com munist labor organizer, fleeing a North Carolina prison sen tence, found refuge in the Soviet Union. The testimony was given by Fred Erwin Beal, at present a North Carolina convict brought here to tell about various labor disturbances in which he said he participated a decade ago. Reds Financed Trip Resuming today the testimony he started Wednesday, Bcal said the communist party had fi nanced a trip he made to Russia while he was a fugitive from justice and he entered Russia on a false passport with the knowledge of Soviet officials. "It seems to me that this ought to cause considerable con cern down at the state depart ment about our future relations with Russia," Dies commented. Beal is serving from 17 to 20 years for conspiracy to murder Police Chief O. F. Aderholt dur ing the 1929 Gastonia, N. C, textile strike, which he said he helped organize. The witness testified Wednes day that he made one trip to Russia in 1930, while on appeal bond, with money and encour agement from communist party headquarters in New York. He did not like conditions there and so returned to this country early in 1931. he added. Meantime, he resumed today, the North Carolina court refused his appeal, his $5,000 bail bond was forfeited, and he became a fugitive. Return Urged When he returned from his first trip to Russia, Bcal said, "the communist party ganged up" to get him to go back. He mentioned William Z. Fos ter, present party chairman, Leon Josephson, whom Beal identified as "a communist party OGPU man in this country," and George Maurer of interna tional labor defense as persons who argued he should return. "Josephson was of the opinion that they should have shot me before I left," Beal said. All three offered persuasive arguments to him, he said, but he remained in the United States until September. 1931. While here, he testified, he stayed a short time at the camp of Roger Baldwin of the Civil Liberties- Union with the un derstanding he would go to North Carolina to give himself up. mtnt wrappers, 34lic lb. tn cartons; B grade 32'7c lb. !n parchment wrap pers, 33 'ao lb. tn cartons.

AP With European battlers appar ently pulling their punches, war buying faded in today's stock market and recently buoyant leaders took a rest behind small minus signs. While a few merchandising, utility and specialty issues man aged to put on a moderate rising performance of their own, clos ing prices generally were on the declining side for fractions to around a point. Transfers approximated 8U0, 000 shares, or more than 300,000 under the previous day's aggre gate. Wall Street seemed more con fused than pessimistic as news from overseas indicated both sides might be "digging in" or were holding their fire while awaiting a concrete peace move from one neutral source or an other. Business developments, in cluding dividends and corpora tion earnings statements re mained as a supporting market element. Today's closing prices for 33 se lected stocks follow: Al.

Hyde Park, N. Y., Oct. 20. (A P) President Roosevelt took the position today that the limits of United States' terri torial waters are flexible, vary ing from three to hundreds oi miles, depending on the circum stances under which the limi ' are created. In the case of belirrferent sub marines, which have been barred from American ports or territorial waters, the president said at a press conference that the limit of such waters was three miles. In the case of rum runners in prohibition days, he said it was 150 miles. The president did not answer directly a question whether there was any possibility of placing restrictions on surface ships similar to those imposed on submarines. He said he did not think the two were analogous that it was like trying to add apples and pears, which were different things. Sawmills Reopen Scio.
