PAGE EIGHT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14. 1939. AS OF ATHENIAOUTRAGE Georgetown University Re gent Says Soviet Only One That Could Profit by Act Boston, Nov. 14. VFl The suggestion Russia might have been involved in the sinking ot the Athenia and the recent at tempt to assassinate Hitler has been advanced by the Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., regent of Georgetown University a for eign service school. He noted, in an address last night before the foreign com merce club of Boston, that the United States government still is Investigating the sinking of the British ship, with its loss of American lives, and that 1t has not accused Germany of firing the torpedo. Washington Suspicious "The conviction was voiced in Washington that the sinking of the Athenia was due neither to an English nor a German sub marine, but to a Russian croft," Dr. Walsh said. "That horror could have brought no profit to Germany, rather a universal re vulsion and the loss of the little support she still retains among neutrals. It is unthinkable Eng land should have deliberately massacred her own nationals, well as Americans." Asserting Soviet Russia never has abandoned its "dreams of world revolution," Dr. Walsh said that nation could have prof ited if the Athenia Incident caused the United States to be come entangled. The bombing attempt on Hit icr s me, lie continued, argues the presence of some secret or ganization . . . paving the way for schism and confusion best adapted to Moscow's program." Russia May Ropaat Ho predicted if Germany were defeated, Russian troops would march In to "rescue" the work ing class "the same as they did Jn Poland," and communism then would confront England and France. Is that why Chamberlain hesi tates to unloose an attack on Germany?" the priest asked. Dr. Walsh attacked Earl Brow der, American communist party leader, as "Stalin's agent in the United States" and as "a profes sional organizer of a conspiracy to overthrow the constitutional government of this country." FAILS TO INSURE GAS ROOM DEATH Life Imprisonment Given Man Who Planned Murder to Gain Suicide Substitute OF HUe PLANT Work has started on rebuild ing the Hubcr Pocking company plant on Midway road. The structure was destroyed by fire last August. The building Is expected to be completed by January 1, according to I. E. Foy, connected with the con cern. v ioy said the first construc tion would be the cooling and killing rooms and Insinuation of the hog-cleaning machine, so as to serve local trade and farm ers as soon as possible. The fire caused loss estimated at $10,000, including the build ings, machinery and stock on hand. Cause of the blae has never been definitely determin ed. It was first discovered by a passing motorist who noticed the roof ablaze and repotted to office workers. Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 14. (U.R) Albert Ruske, who claimed he spent 24 hours planning a "perfect murder" to insure his death by execution as a sub stitute for suicide, must remain in prison for life instead of dy ing in San Quentin's gas cham ber as he requested, Gov. Cul bert Olson ruled today. Ruske was convicted of killing eight-year-old Elaine Watson in San Francisco, July 13, 1934. He said he spent a full day and night planning her death so there could be no possible doubt as to his guilt, or mat he would be condemned to death. Ruske confessed he choked the girl and beat her over the head with a whiskey bottle when she came into his basement look ing for her pet rabbit, which he had previously killed for stew. Resentence Asked. Ruske was sentenced to life, but later asked Gov. Olron to resentence him to death. In his letter to Olson, Ruske said he planned a murder to accomplish "first, the future happiness of those I loved; second, a means of protecting one I love; and third, what I thought was a sure road to death." But M. Stanley Mosk, execu tive secretary to the governor, said there was no legal means by which Ruske could be re sentenced, since this procedure would place him twi ce in 1nnn- ardy. bulk good to cholc Idaho 97.10 tightly tortd; bulk good to choice 170 to 320-1 b.
