MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. AUGUST 23. 1940. PAGE SEVEN TROTSKY SLAYER AS STALIN AGENT Chicago, Auf. 23. Al bert Goldman, American attor ney for Leon Trotsky, asserted here that the assailant of the ex iled bolshevik leader had ad mitted acting as an agent of the Soviet Russian secret police. "I talked by telephone with the Trotsky guards shortly after the attack," Goldman said in an interview last night on arriving from New York by plane. They told me that Vandendreischd ad mitted he had been ordered by the Ogpu to kill Trotsky or for feit the life of his mother in Russia." Goldman learned of Trotsky's death on his arrival. He later boarded a plane for Mexico City where he hoped to question the assailant, Jacques Vandendrei schd, also known as "Frank Jackson." "Vandendreischd," Goldman said, "was a casual acquaintance of Trotsky who had gained the confidence of the household through hli marriage to Sylvia Ageloff of Brooklyn. Her sister, Ruth, once served as Trotsky's aecretary. Vandendreischd mar ried Sylvia under orders from the Ogpu to get close to Trotsky." (Samuel Ageloff, father of Syl via and Ruth, denied in New York reports that the latter had been a Trotsky secretary and aid he did not know "Frank Jackson." Goldman said that Trotsky's slaying might dispel the mystery surrounding the attempt on Trotsky's life at his Mexico City home last May. "At the time no one could understand how the gunmen got into the home or how they knew the layout of the house," he added. TOP OF PIKE'S PK. Colorado Springs, Colo., Aug. 23.

"In granting licenses prefer ence shall be given first, to the owner of the yard, and second, to any designated and qualified responsible agent in the event the license for any reason can not be issued to the owner; however.
