The ashes of Kiroff himself were sealed in the wall of the Kremlin. : The official announcement of the execution was brief. It said that a woman named Zinaida Buligina was. among those executed in Moscow.

Only five of them escaped execution. These five were held for further questioning. New “terror” decrees, invoked be- cause of the nation’s anger at Kiroff’s slaying last Saturday, were carried out to the letter. There were no de- fense attorneys, no prosecutors—and no appeals were allowed. Kiroff Is Buried Russia buried Kiroff beside other tion in Red Square Thursday.

TWO NATIONS TENSE AS BUDAPEST ASKS ACTION BY LEAGUE lection Probe as Moodie Judge QUALIFICATIONS OF ALL ELECTED NOV. 6 WILL BE EXAMINED Moodie’s Staff of Attorneys at Fargo to Prepare Vigorous Court Fight THOROUGH STUDYEXPECTED Right of Republican Candidates to Hold Office Will Be Investigated (By The Associated Press) Possibility of an investigation of the qualification of all candidates elected to state office in North Da- kota in the November 6 election was seen here Thursday as a result of the court action challenging governor-elect Thomas H. Moodie’s right to office. As plans went forward by the Demo- cratic State Central Committee to put up a vigorous court fight against the claims that Moodie’s term of resi- dence in North Dakota does not meet the state constitutional provision, it was reported in state circles Thurs- day that plans are being discussed by i Democratic leaders to check the qual- ifications of the remainder of the elected candidates, all Republicans. A conference of Moodie attorneys, retained by the Democratic Central Committee, was in progress in Fargo Thursday. It was reported here that the attorneys may take up the matter of qualifications of the Republican candidates. It was repcrted here from a high source that Democratic leaders plan to meet in Fargo, possibly Thursday night, to discus: the question of qual- itications of all candidates elected in the recent election. This source stated the move would be independent of the Moodie case and if an investigation is undertaken it will be done to clarify the situa- tion that has arisen as a result of the Evidence of Organized Attempt 27,000 to Be Deported in Sum- ate cast on Moodie’s eligibility. to Kill War Implement Bills Is Produced Washington, Dec. 6.—(7)—A new evidence which, they con- tend, shows that arms manufacturers exerted a powerful “lobby” to kill ied that would have blocked the ex- of war implements. > There appears no doubt that muni- tions men will dispute this contention. Several have denied bringing any in- fluence to bear on congress. The evidence, which investigators @ few days, was taken from the files of several of the largest munitions firms. Embargo Defiance Shown Evidence that the du Pont com- pany sent a shipment of powder to Holland in 1929 for re-shipment to fect against sending munitions di- rectly to China—was received Thurs- day by senate investigators. This came after Senator Clark (D-Mo.) had asserted that it was not necessary for the United States to enter the World war “except to peer the munitions makers’ prof-, Also, the munitions committee was: told that. state department files showed no indication the department had suggested a conference of arms makers called by Herbert Hoover, secretary of commerce, before the 1925 Geneva arms conference. ‘The former president said Wednes- day Frank B. Kellogg, secretary of state in 1925, had suggested the con- ference. During frequent clashes with wit- nesses, Senator Clark told Irenee du Pont, munitiéns manufacturer, at one point that the latter was not “run- ning this investigation.” The clash came during an inquiry by Clark into the shipment of muni- tions to China, despite an embargo under which the American govern- ment was operating. With the spectators listening in- tently, Clark introduced evidence concerning a shipment of powder to Holland in 1929 for re-shipment to China. Du Ponts Borrowed U. 8. Gun K. K. V. Casey, du Pont company official, conceded his company knew the shipment was going to China. He said the advice of the state de- partment was not sought because that department had no jurisdiction over shipments to Holland. Testimony developed that the du Ponts borrowed or rented a United States navy gun to test powder to be sold to China. “We paid the costs,” Casey said. “I think there is.a law permitting this.” “It would teresting to know,” Clark of ed, “and I think it is in the public interest to know whether munitions makers have access to gov ernment equipment to make tests.” Members of the senate ‘committee, in the temporary absence of Chair- man Nye (Rep., N. D.), said Thursday they had no intention of calling Her- bert Hoover to testify. Angrily puff- ing a curved stem briar, Irenee du Pont had challenged the committee to call Hoover to explain the background of a meeting of arms manufacturers he assembled in 1925 before a Geneva arms control meeting. Hoover, like du Pont, contends this conference dealt with “proper protec- tions” for sporting arms, as disting- uished from wer weapons. He con- tends the senate is responsible for the failure of the arms control convention which was drawn at Geneva.

Government officials already are taking testimony of refugees concern- ing their summary ejection and al- leged mistreatment. So apprehensive is the government, however, that the situation may lead to an open break with Yugoslavia all newspapers were instructed not to print anything about the number or condition of the refugees entering their homeland. Tension Since Slaying There has been tension between the countries since the assassination of Alexander of Yugoslavia and the {subsequent Yugoslav charge at Ge- neva that Hungary was involved in the crime. Several hundred of the refugees al- ready have reached Budapest and the excitement here is intense. Angry jthreats have been uttered against Yugoslavia. Police have been mobilized to pre- ‘vent outward demonstrations and in- :cidents likely to embroil this country {further with Yugoslavia. Refugees told listeners that the 88 Yugoslav army was in an ugly mood. They said Hungarian residents in ‘Yugoslavia had been pulled out of bed ‘in the middle of the night and made to walk half-dressed to a railroad jstation where a train was waiting to take them to the border. In one case, it was alleged that soldiers had ex- | tinguished all the lamps in the streets ,80 that the public could not see the \half-naked Hungarians being marched to the station. 300 Without Country Some 27,000 Hungarians are report- ied to be living in javia, It was ‘stated authoritatively at Belgrade that the expulsion will be a gradual process but will proceed relentlessly. It is estimated that some 2,000 Hun- jgarians already have been deported and the number is increasing daily. About 300 luckless former Hun- garians have found themselves with- out a country. This group was com- Posed of men and women who re- “nounced Hungarian citizenship pre- paratory to becoming Yugoslavs. Hun- gary has thrown them out and Yugo- ‘slavia will not permit them to return. They. are living in three trains istranded in “no man’s land” at the ;Hungarian-Yugoslav frontier. |HUNDREDS OF REFUGEES {CROSS YUGOSLAV BORDER | Szeged, Hungary, Dec. 6.—(P)— Long lines of Hungarian refugees lejected from Yugoslavia because of ; Yugoslav resentment over their coun- itrymen’s alleged complicity in the as- sassination of King Alexander istreamed over the border into their jhomeland Thursday. Exhausted, bedraggled and dejected, ithey told harrowing stories of hard- ship, some were barefoot, some coat- less; others were sick. From some came tales of severe treatment by ‘Yugoslav soldiery. Many related they were evicted without warning and ‘given no time to gather their baggage and household effects or withdraw deposits from the banks. Most of them carried their few pos- sessions in bandanas at the end of sticks, Scores of the refugees sald they had lived in Yugoslavia 30 and 40 years and had all but forgotten their native tongue. So far 1,400 of the deportees have plodded across the border. As many more were expected tomorrow. Among today’s arrivals were two 65-year old roast leading thelr 86-year old blind father. ismarck was a hotbed of rumors and stirred to an intense pitch as a result of the confused political sit- uation.

GILLIS ‘Baby Face’ Nelson's Widow Breaks Gangland Tradition, Talks of Gang’s Work Chicago, Dec. 6.—(#)—Because “Baby Face” Nelsun’s widow broke a gangland tradition by talking, fed- eral manhunters were reported ready ‘Thursday to deliver the cleanup blow to the fragments of John Dillinger's crime-mad gang. One report said the government agents had much of the information they need for their big drive against the “public enemies and that more was coming into their possession” as they continued to question the di- minutive widow, Mrs. Helen Gillis. She was arrested 48 hours after her husband and a male companion killed Inspector Samuel P. Cowley and Agent Herman Hollis of the De- partment of Justice in a gun battle at Barrington in which Nelson also was killed. The report that Mrs. Gillis dis- closed secrets of the Dillinger gang was coupled with a rumor that her sister, Mrs. Juliette Fitzsimmons of Chicago, had voluntarily submitted to questioning, but Inspector H. H. Clegg refused to say whether this was true. It was indicated that Mrs. Gillis would be taken to Madison, Wis. for sentence in federal court Thursday on a charge of violating the proba- tion granted her last summer when she pleaded guilty to harboring Dil- linger and Tommy Carroll at the Little Bohemia resort near Mercer, Wis., scene of a sensational escape by Dillinger and his men last April. Mrs, Gillis was taken secretly to Madison, Wis., before daylight Thurs- day. Shé will be arraigned as a pro- bation violator. The government agents have never announced whether they learned the identity of Nelson's companion in the battle of Barrington, but other in- vestigators have expressed belief that either John Hamilton or Alvin Karpis was involved. These reports prompted Karpis’ mother, Mrs. John Karpavicz of Chi- cago, to appeal through a newspaper for him to surrender. Addressing him as son,” she said: “You are playing a game you can- not win. The government men have sworn to track you down and they shoot to kill. You must give your- “my dearest self up. Don’t make it necessary for them to kill you.”
