The statement said the explo- il-ns were becoming frequent near pilccs where rescuers were work- lllg. It was iidded that air pouring from the mine working contained carbon monoxide in dangerous quantities.

“Britannia. rules the waves, but America waives the rules."

Thrit was the tart comment of Bill Corum, New York Evening Journal, afier the supervising coni- mittee for the America's Cup races tonight disallowed T. O. M. Sop- with‘s claim of foul by the United States defender, Harold S. Vander- bilt's Rainbow, in Saturday's heat:

In the dcspatch he sent his P6- per. Corlim added:

“It is ironic that Vanderbilt should have escaped penalty for violation of the rules because the committee. under the rules, had to insist that Sopwlth had not com- plicd with the rules. But it is hard to sce how they could have acted otherwise,"

J. Herbert Duckworth, Mail, London, wrote:

“It is a great; pity these matches should have been spoiled by ill- fecllng that is certain to be shown in some circles on both the British and American sides by the protest. Without knowledge of all that transpired at the meeting of the race committee, it is hardly fair to criticize the verdict. However, it does seem rather strange that it should have taken so many hours to decide whether or not Mr. Sop- with put up his protest flag early enough to conform with the racing rules."

Lou Marsh, sports editor of the Toronto Dolly Star. wrote:

"The renl answer is that En- dcnvour is the better boat. It smells even worse than that Gar Wood- Kaye Don thing in the Harms- worth trophy races at Detroit three years new-the one where it is lil- leged Wood deliberately enticed Don and Miss England III across the line and bent a boat which had already whinpnd Miss America on a. technicality."

Leon Trotzky A ct iv e In: Spain Belief

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

MADRID, Sept. 23.-Autliorlties tiirougliout Spain have been asked to investigate the possibility that Leon Trotsky, exiled Ruskin, has been in tllc country plotting a re- volutioil, the Assoclatcd Press was told today liy RllXllCl Snlnmr Alonso, Minister of the Interior.

“A revolt plauiicd here bears the earmarks of 'I‘rotzky strategy,” Al- onso said. "If lic were found on Spanish territory he would be zir- rcsted and expelled, unless it devel- oped that serious charuCS Illillht be made against him."

Vlill Confront

It was expected Colonel Lind- bergh would confront the ex-con- vlct when he goes to the Bronx county courthouse to give his testimony.

This was regarded as of Dfltefl- tial significance because the mys- terious “John.” who received thfl $50,000 ransom money, professed to know Lindbergh. The criminal told this to Dr. J. F. Condoli, who hand- ed over the money but Whcfhel‘ h? claimed acquaintance by sight or Qrlierwlm was not clear.

With Mrs. Hauptmands dramat- lc alibi for her husband as a. foun- dation, James M. Fawcett. a. law- yer retained by "a male cousin" of the Hauptmanus offered to in his power to aidthe District At- torney in unraveling the Lindbergh mystery.

“We have nothing to hide," Faw- cett said. “We are as anxious as anyone to get at the truth."

l-fziuptmann has resolutely main- tallied he did not know the money he “accidentally” received from a friend was par; of the Lindbergh ransom.

Attention was (lfil-Wll to infor- mation that blood-stains had 110811 found on some of the recovered ransom money. One theory 0d~ winced was that n quarrel ovoz" a division of the loct had resulted in serious injury to one of the kid- hoppers.

Blood Marked Notes

While none of the blood-marked notes were found in the Haupt- mann garage, they had been in- chided among certificates which had trickled into banks for months past. The stains were too numer- ous. officials concluded to h1vc re- sulted from n-casual cut and in- dicnted a serious fight for their possession.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2:3 shrieking mill whistles tomorrow will summon back to their looms most of the many thousands who three weeks ago answered the strike call of the United Textile Woxkers.

Foremost as the walkout. ends is the question of whether jobs await those who took leading parts in it, l with militant unionists on the alert ‘for any indications of discrimina- tion against their colleagues.

The strike was called off yester- day with a minority of the union's executive council insisting that it continue until the mill owners guarantee all will be rehired re- gardless of union activities.

Fear Dmrlminatlou

Other members of the council argued that discrimination. was outlawed by the terms of the settlement, proposed by the Wimuit Presidential Mediation Board, en- dorsed by President Rxxzsevelt and accepted by the union as the basis for leading the walkout.

Under the settlement, a board of three will be named by Mr. Roose- velt to adjudicate all questions of recognition. collective bargaining and complaints arising from the National Recovery Act's guarantee that workers may organize as they chose.

Mill owners’ policy in rehiring strikers umulci be included. labor leaders asserted. and any discrim- ination would be reported imme- diately to the board as soon as it was appointed. Mr. Roosevelt is ex- pected to name it without delay. The mill owners, meanwhile, werc reticent about their plans in this

In North York, Captain Harold Breuls will attempt to hold the rid- ing against Liberal attacks. He will carry the Conservative flag against W. P.

Car loadings continued to mount. Bank clearings for the first two weeks of September were larger than those of last year by $132,798.- 500 or 26.8 percent. Production of automobiles is far greater than 1933, and forest products are being marketed in larger quantity. Out- put of newsprint continues on an enlarged scale compared with re- cent years, and building operations, while slow, are gradually extending to the advantage of allied trades.

For wheat the yield of the present harvest is placed at 277,304,000 bushels, slightly higher than lust year. The crop, however, will come on the market at prices from 20 to 25 per- cent above those of last year. While yields per acre have been consider- ably below averiigo for all grains, they are slightly higher than in 1938.

External ‘Di-ode

The Dominiolfs increased exter- nal trade is "an encouraging fen- ture in the business situation." In August this trade amounted to $99,344,000, imports accounting for $43,507,000 and exports for $55,832.- 000, the increase over last year being $15,462,500 or 15.8 percent. Excess of exports over imports was $12,320,700 in August and in the last 12 months has aggregated $143,728,000.
