MEMEL, Memel Territory, May I5-—Splea and ballots stirred tiny, oft-troubled Memel today.

The strategic Baltic seaport, once part of Germany. uow,having an autonomous status under Lithu- anian sovereignty, voted on the vexing question of composition of its municipal council.

Coolncidentaliy. police announced they had uncovered a sensational spy plot financed by "the consulate it a certain foreign power." This consulate, they declared, distribut- Id a total of 150.000 llic (currently about 825,500) monthly to further the espionage.

More than 100 persons were re- ported questioned and 1'! had been placed in jail. some were acid to have confessed.

The results of the election will be announced Wednesday. Cam- paigning did not reach the pitch of last autumn’; diet elections, al- though German-Lithuanian rela- tions remained strained.

Lithuanians were annoyed by wholesale dismissals of Lithuanian officials by the new Nazi direcwr- ate. and by the preponderance of German teachers in the territory; Germans were irked by heavy fines imposed by the Memcl garrison commandant upon two German newspapers for “inciting inhabit- ants against the Lithuanian gov- ernmcnt."

The last municipl council had A German majority; the Germans won impressively in last fall's elec- tions.

Officials who announced the spy l>i0t said it centred in the Meiriel municipal commotion and that the espionage was conducted under the leadership of an official named Sloeizicr. This official, with his most trusted lieutenants, escaped abroad,
