WASHINGTON. Nov. 1 IP)
Robert H. Jackson. 4 0-year old so

capital politicians today to be tbe
likely auccessor to Attorney Gen
eral Cummings.
Cummings, 61, will return to
private law practice In January,
marking the third cabinet change
since President Roosevelt took of
fice In 1933. The president said
yesterday he had not yet given
thonghl to a successor.
If Jackson Is appointed. It will
not be his first promotion In ad
ministration ranks. He left his
law business In Jamestown, N. Y.,
In 1934 to become general coun
sel for the Internal revenue bu
reau. He later became assistant attor
ney general In charge ot tax mat
tera and subsequently was put In
charge of anti-trust prosecutions.
Early this year be waa chosen so

YOUTH RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANTI-JEW VIOLENCE TELLS
BACKGROUND OF SHOOTING
PARIS. Nov. 16 fP) The 17-
year-old boy who started the Ger
man anti-Jewish violence was on
his own" for the first time wben
despair led htm to shoot a German
embassy secretary, he told police.
Unnerved and tearful after he
learned of the nasi anger at the
death of tbe secretary, Ernst Vom
Rath, the youth said he had been
sleeping on parks and banks ot the
Seine for two weeks before the
attack on November 7.
He had been trying to got a Job.
Here Is the story told by the
boy Herschel Grynszpan, slender,
dark-haired, of medium height:
He was born at Hanover, Ger
many, March 18, 1931, of Polish
parents. His father, a tailor, be
came a naturalized, citizen.
He came to Paris two years ago
"because there was no opportunity
for one of my race to remain In
Germany. I obtained permission
from my parents to come to
France because I could not con
tinue to be fronted like a dog and
because I hoped to live and work
like other people and not like a
hunted beast."
Until two weeks before the
shooting of Vom Rath, Grynszpan
lived with his aunt and uncle who
conducted a small tailor shop In
Paris.
He deckled to earn his own liv
ing. They gave him 3000 francs
(about $78) lent him by his
father.
Ills Immediate resentment, he
explained, wns because his parents
were ordered to loavo Germany,
without possessions, under a gov

U. S. Protests Nazi De
struction of American
Jews' Property
By The Associated Press
Jews In Germany feared fur
ther anti-Semitic outbursts today
while that Issue and Germany's
colonial demands occupied states
men of four other countries.
Premier Daladler of France,
Colonial and Dominions Secretary
Malcolm MacDonald ot Great
Britain and Gen. Jan Christian
Smuts, commander of the union
ot South Africa's World war
forces, all declared against giv
ing back Germany's war-lost
colonies.
Trade Agreements Signed
Tbe United. States embassy in
Berlin sent a note to the Ger
man foreign office protesting last
week's destruction of American
Jews' property. The United
States government reserved tbe
right to take further action in
the matter.
A bitter nasi newspaper attack
on what it termed the American
government's concessions to Am
erican Jewry followed President
Roosevelt's statement he "could
scarcely believe" anti-Jewish
Tjoleac 4-ermany.-"..-.
The state department In Wash-
ington announced after months
of negotiation trade agreements
wonld be signed tomorrow with
Great Britain and Canada.
Daladler declared In reply to
anxious questions the French
government had not even con
sidered the cession of colonies to
Germany.
MacDonald told tbe bouse of
commons his government author
ized the announcement It 'did
not contemplate the transfer ot
any territory under British ad
ministration."
The union of South Africa,
said General Smuts, would tight
before relinquishing her man
date over southwest Africa, which
he called a "sacred trust." He
spoke at Marlttburg, Natal, South
Africa.
The nasi commissioner tor
Austria, Joseph Buerckel, told
Steyr workers the person next
attempting to damage property
would face a shooting squad.
GREAT BRITAIN FORMALLY
RECOGNIZES ITALY'S
CONQUEST OF ETHIOPIA
ROME, Nov. 16 (JP Italy
emerged as the final victor today
In the economic war England led
against her during the Ethiopian
campaign In 1935.
Britain formally recognized
Italy as sovereign over Ethiopia
when the Earl of Perth, British
ambassador, presented to Foreign
Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano
new credentials accrediting him
to King Vlttorio Emanuele - as
king of Italy and emperor ot Eth
iopia. -
This was part of the process of
bringing Into effect the Anglo-
Italian accord signed at Rome
April 16 for composition ot the
differences of the two powers in
the Mediterranean, Africa, the
near east and Spain.
Britain with France sponsored
the league of nations fight which
came to a climax when they Joined
with 50 nations in voting eco
nomic sanctions (penalties), which
went Into operation November 17,
1935, designed to isolate Italy.
Tbe economic protest did not
deter Italy from taking Ethiopia
but It did bring resentment
against Britain, now ended by the
British-Italian accord, and to a
lesser degree against France.
Soviet Russia and the United
States are the only two powers
who have not yet recognized tbe
Ethiopian conquest. The United
States did not participate in the
economic boycott. Russia, as a
communist government, is not
likely to give formal recognition
to the fascist victory.

Action Follows Warning
By Lewis Against At
tempts at Delay

The CIO convention quickly com
pleted today adoption of a con
stitution,- establishing the union

could amount to more than
$2,000,000 annually to push for
ward a new organizing drive
which leaders told the conven
tion was the "paramount ques
tion here.
Passed Unanimously
The motion to adopt the 10
articles as a whole passed unani
mously. On two sections, when
they were considered separately,
there were a few "no" votes.
These two articles gave the
executive board the power to
name tbe date and site for con
ventions, and assessed small In
dustrial unions a per capita tax
ot 50 cents.
Union Label System
As another step toward per
fecting a permanent labor or
ganization, the convention adopt
ed a resolution Instructing tbe
new executive council to create a
system ot union labels to dis
tinguish goods produced In plants
where tbe workers have been or
ganized by CIO unions.
A union trades label has long
