ENTIRE CHURCH IN BAVARIA IN OPEN REVOLT Is Fighting Domination by Nazi Central Church at Berlin By FREDERICK OECHSNER United Press Staff Correspondent j (Copyright, 1934, United Press) | MUNICH, Oct. 15.—(UP).— [ The entire church population of I j Bavaria was in open revolt last night against the Nazi-dominated central church government at Ber lin.^ Their leader, Bishop Hans Meiser was deposed and a virtual prisoner in his palace. Bishop Meiser, and with him a considerable section of the Bava rian evangelistic clergy and lay followers, threw down the gaunt let to Reich-Bishop Ludwig Muel ler, refused to surrender their of fices in a fighting proclamation read yesterday at each church ser vice. The police, refusing either to permit Bishop Meiser to address his followers from the windows of his home, or from the pulpit of his church, took an active, though silent, part in the services at every pro-Meiser church, making notes of the names and speeches of Mu eller's antagonists. The proclamation was read to an overflow congregation at St. Marks. Even the aisles of the fa-, mous church were jammed, and , hundreds stood outside on the por- j tico and in the streets. The congregation was infiltrat-1 ed with police, brown shirts and detectives, but a loud buzz of ap proval came from the auidence when the document, bearing the approval of the ousted church councillors, flatly rejected Reich bishop Mueller's orders. Resentful and bitter ejacula tions accompanied its reading, and there was an outburst of "Thank God!" when it was announced that Bishop Meiser and his council re fused to surrender to the central power. Meanwhile, it was learned, al though Reich President Adolf Hit ler was begged, in a two-hour con ference, to intervene and end the schism, the Fuehrer refused to add the weight of his office to either side. The proclamation described, in harsh tones, how Dr. August Jae ger, representing Mueller, broke into the bishop's palace on Thurs day at the head of his police, shouting. "An end must be made to this mutiny and rebellion." Thereupon, the proclamation went on, Jaeger posted police at the doors, summoned the church councillors, and summarily or dered them out of office. "A firebrand of war has been hurled into our church," the proc- | lamation said. "Before God and | the community, before the people and the state, before the Fuehrer and the nation, we denounce this breach of faith and declare our belief that this means destruction 1 (Continued on page four) CHILD MURDER I IS CONFESSED,1 Man Says He Thought Her Dead; Stuffed Body in Furnace MOUNT VERNON", N.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE STILL Fi POLICY FOE Roosevelt Seen as Emerg ing in Role of Bulwark Against Radicals B:' LYLE C. WILSON ' United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright, 1934, by U. P; ; WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (UP). Symptoms of better feeling and larger co-operation between in dustry and the administration are remarked by observers today on the eve of an election which will establish a comparatively radical new deal congress. Rig business and leaders of fi nance remain bitterly critical of administration policies. But it is likely the new congress will at tempt to carry President Roose velt considerably further than he desires to go in labor, currency and spending legislation. Mr. Roosevelt may emerge this winter as a bulwark between frightened big business and a headstrong congress. That would swing much moderate business sympathy to the White House. The administration appears to some extent to be endeavoring to re-assure its industrial critics. Repeated endorsement of the profit system is typical of this attitude. Treasury announcement tnat $1,870,000,000 of fourth Liberty bonds would be refunded next April was a warning to congres sional inflationists and an assur ance to Wall street. It indicates Mr. Roosevelt wants no inflation legislation this winter and will use currency powers he pos sesses sparingly, if at all. Mr. Roosevelt, also, will oppose organized labor's plans for 30 bVufc weefc legislation, again be coming to some extent the de fender of business, banks and in dustry. In persuading congress to reject 30-hour week legisla tion, Mr. Roosevelt will argue that the problem must be ap proached in each industry sep arately. Business is opposed to further reductions in the work week but is expected to find Mr. Roosevelt's flexible plan prefer able to congressional action of any kind. Administration spending will continue on a scale far exceeding the limits desired by financial and industrial leaders. But Mr. Roosevelt probably will be will ing to give. Even so relief costs will be tremendous—about $170, 000,000 a month by February when 23,000,000 persons are ex pected to require aid. Business has been aided by gradually increasing commodity prices although the methods by which prices have been boosted are under severe business criti cism. These price-boosting spend ing and crop control programs will continue. But there are in dications of change in methods of human relief through FERA. Complaint that many who prefer federal funds available jobs are on the relief rolls has had some effect on influential administra (Continued on page four) SCHOOL FOR ASSASSINS NEW 'SORE SPOT' FOR EUROPEANS Second Warning of Menace Goes to League of Nations Regarding Institution in Hungary By WALLACE CARROLL United Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1934, United Press) GENEVA, Oct. 15.—(UP).—A mysterious farm in Hungary, where terrorists are said to be schooled in the technique of as sassination, became yesterday the outstanding danger spot of Eu rope. International diplomats at Gen eva view with the utmost concern the confessions of terrorists who are charged with complicity in the Marseilles assassinations, obtained while they were under arrest at Anneniasse, on the French fron tier. The definite placing of the "ter rorist colony" at Janka Pufta, where the plots are believed to have been hatched, may definitely drag Hungary before the interna tional bar, with an insistent de mand that she wipe out the dan gerous nest. The seriousness of the prison ers' revelations was emphasized by the fact that Jugoslavia de nounced the Janka Pufta colony at a meeting1 of the league coun cil in June, after vainly protest ing to Budapest over a period of two years. Examination of documents pre sented to the League of Nations by Jugoslavia revealed the name of one "Thomas Kelemen" who was charged with participating in the murder of a Jugoslavian dep uty by terrorists who went over the Hungarian border in October, 1933. A nervous and pale-faced in formant told investigators yester day that from 20 to 30 men prac ticed shooting and bomb throwing in the Janka Pufta "school." Identical allegations contained in the Jugoslavian document were made to the league in June, when it was declared the terrorists had settled down on a farm three miles from the frontier, in 1931, after their expulsion from other countries, including Austria. The Jugoslavian complaint re cited that "a band of from 30 to 40 are daily instructed in the use of arms, and practice not only shooting in a rifle range, but the handling of bombs and infernal machines. The farm has been transformed into a veritable depot of arms and ammunition, from which are equipped the bands that go forth to outrage Jugoslavia." It added that many Hungarian officers had close relations with members of the Janka Pufta col ony. The document declared that for several years the terrorists have traveled abroad on passports fur nished them by the Hungarian au thorities. A similar memorandum sent tc Budapest in 1933 alleged that the Croatian chief of the Janka Pufts colony was one Gpstave Perchec who used a Hungarian passpor describing him as "Emile Hor vath." It was charged that th( assassin colony sent its emissarie: not only into Jugoslavia but ever to South America, bearings arms munitions and infernal machines Wives And Sweethearts Beg To Die With 1200 Miners; Are Held Back With Bayonets « — I Men, Self Entombed, Are Threatening Suicide if Pay Not Raised FUNFKIRCHEN, Hungary. Oct. 15. (UP).—Twelve hundred min ers, striking for higher wages and determined on mass suicide, held themselves in the depths of Pecz mine today while women pleaded with troops at the pithead to be allowed to descend and die with them. Soldiers held back wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts with bayonets. The miners threatened to cut off ventilating fans and asphyxi ate themselves or stop the pumps and drown. Fifty of them already are re ported seriously ill. Forty-five have been brought up, ill from gas. Thirty-two hundred miners on the surface have joined a sympa thy strike but were prevented from descending to join their comrades. Five emissaries of the Social Democrat party were held pris oner when they descended to at tempt to persuade the strikers to compromise. frenchTar PRESIDENT IS DEAD AT PARS Raymond Poincare, Three Times Premier, Was 74 Years Old PARIS, Oct. 15.—(UP)—Ray mond Poincare, "The Lion of Lor raine," France's war-time presi dent, died today. He has been in ill health since he resigned from his third teoiure of office as premier in 1929, but death came swiftly. It was an nounced yesterday that he was slightly ill. Last night he slept fitfully, became worse around midnight and died at 4 a. m. to day. . , The death of Poincare, called the savior of France for his sta bilization of the currency when he was called to the prime ministry for the third time in 1926, de prives France of a second great statesman within a week. 1 Louis Barthou, foreign minis ter, who was assassinated at Mar seilles with King Alexander, was buried Saturday. Poincare served his country for more than 50 of his 74 years. He entered -the chamber of deputies, already prominent as an editor, in 1887 and from then on was a cen tral figure in politics. In 1929, honored and in even higher esteem than when he was president he was forced to reslg" as premier because of ill health. I He returned to Paris in Sep tember after spending the summer at Sampigny. He seemed greatly , improved, and resumed work on « his long-awaited political autobi ography, in which he had reached the early post-war stage. This book was expected to cause a ! world sensation. In his last brief illness he was helpless, paralyzed on the left side and partly paralyzed all over. His death, however, was not expect ed. His wife was the only member of the family at his bedside, though several of his political col | laborators were there. GOTHAM RELIEF IS YET TO REACH PEAK NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—(UP).

' U. & FAR EAST AIR SERVICE IS PROMISED SOON Will Link Pan-American and 3000-Mile Chinese Air Transport WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. (UP). Early establishment of a trans Pacific air transport service, link ing California and the Far East, was announced last night in an exchange of correspondence be tween Postmaster General James A. Farley and officials of the Pan-American airways. J. T. Triope, president of Pan American. informed Farley that the company's technical staff, headed by Charles A. Lindbergs, already was studying weather conditions on the Pacific coast in an attempt to select a terminal for the line. Farley expressed great interest in the project, pledged the sup port of his department, and said trade benefits and generally im proved relations among the na tion^ involved unquestionably would result. "It is gratifying to me to learn," he wrote, "that the first trans-Pacific service is to be in augurated by an American com pany. The splendid pioneering work, which the Pan-American airways has done in establishing and building up to a high degree of efficiency #ir transport routes circling Central and South Amer ica, has attracted the attention of the entire world and its.re markable success in these ven tures undoubtedly argues success for a trans-Pacific service. The experimental trans-Pacific transport route will link two transport systems already main tained by Pan-America—its own routes and a 3000-mile system which it operates jointly with the Chinese government. "Our feeling that the inaugur ation of this experimental service is now practical," Trippe wrote, "is based on the recent success ful flight tests of the 'Brazilian Clipper"—the first of the new trans-ocean type, four-engine fly i ing boats developed by Pan American airways. This latest clipper flying boat has a top speed of 191 miles an hour and is capable of maintaining-sched uled service over the longest open stretch of the through route between California and the Far East. * 'Experimental service, when instituted over the Pacific, would permit the securing of accurate data relating to 'upper air' wind and weather conditions and . the selection of the westbound and eastbound routes best adapted to varying seasonal conditions." WRIT TO FREE DEFENDANTS BEFORE COURT First Witness Fails to Es tablish Alibi on Night of Kidnaping WIFE SAYTbRUNO WITH HER AT TIME NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—(UP). —Christian Fredericksen, Bronx baker who employed Mrs. Anna Hauptmann, testified she was at the bakery the night of March 1, 1932, when Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was kidnaped but was unable to swear that Rruno R. Haupt mann, accused kidnaper, was there that night. This testimony was given at the hearing as Attorney General David T. Wilentz sought Haupt mann's extradition to New Jersey to face a murder trial. Mrs. Hauptmann testified that Hauptmann drove her home th<* night of the kidnaping. She said she did not know her husband hid $14,000 and a gun in the garage. Hauptmann was called to the stand after his wife finished. TRENTON, N. J., Oct. 15.— (UP).—New Jersey prepared yes terday to move swiftly in gaining custody of Bruno Richard Haupt mann in the event the German carpenter, charged with the mur der of the Lindbergh baby, fails in his attempt today to forestall extradition from Now York. State officials here would not comment on the nature of their plans, other than to Bay that they are prepared for any contingency. Hauptmann is scheduled to ap pear in court in the Bronx today when the question of extradition will be taken up. It was understood here that a number of New Jersey state troop ers will be present at the Bronx hearing, ready to seize custody of Hauptmann in the event extradi tion is granted. He would be taken at once by automobile »to the Hunterdon county jail at Flemington, where he would later be placed on trial on a murder charge. Attorney General David T. Wi lentz reiterated today that the state intends to move slowly and with care in the case, but added that hfe will brook no unwarrant ed delay on the part of Haupt mann's attorney. CoL H. Norman Schwartzkopf, chief of state pol>e, said there had been no impo1 tant develop ments in the case against Haupt mann over the week-end. RENEW HOPES ; IN KIDNAPING Relatives Optimistic as Hour Nears for Contact by Agents LOUISVILLE, Oct. 15.—Hopes for the safety of Mr*. Alice Stoll, kidnaped society beauty, revived as the zero hour for word from her abductor approached today. George Stoll, brother of the victim's missionaire husband, Ber ry V Stoll, appeared more hope ful as he spoke of the zero hour which will be reached at 4:20 o'clock this pftemoon when the five-day period mentioned in the ransom note will have elapsed. More than 100 hours after a man entered the Stoll home on exclusive Lime Kiln road, beat and kidnaped the pretty, 26-year-old woman nad elapsed last night, no definite trace had been found on her or her abductor. Her husband, vice president of the Stoll Oil Refinery company, last night was near a nervous col lapse. Within 24 hours after his wife was kidnaped he announced that all demands of a ransom note asking $50,000 had been met. . , Despite repeated public pleas to the kidnaper and assurances of immunity, no direct word has been received whether Mrs. Stoll is dead or alive. Harold Nathan, attorney for the Stoll family, said last night. Nathan said the ransom had not been paid to the kidnaper, pre sumably because no one had been able to contact him. The money, it was believed, had been placed in a spot designated in the note, but had not been claimed. REVIEW OF AIRMAIL WITHDRAWALS DENIED WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. (UP).
