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.

The Better Way to
Correct Constipation
One way to treat constipation !
to endure it first and cure It
afterward. The other way la to
avoid having It by getting at Its
come. So why not save yourself
those dull headachy days, plus
the Inevitable trips to the medi
cine chest. If you can do It by a
simple common-sense "ounce of
prevention"?
If your trouble, like that of
millions, Is due to lack of "bulk"
in the diet, "the better way" Is to
eat Kellogg's All-Bran. This
crunchy. toasted, ready-to-eat
cereal has just the "bulk" you
need. If you eat it every day-and
drink plenty of water-you can
not only get regular but keep
regular, day after day and month
after month I All-Bran is made
by Kellogg's in Battle Creek. Sold
by every grocer.
