Feb. 21.— ‘Two beautiful American girls, Eliza- beth and Jane Du Boils, the only children of a United States consul general, plunged from an airplane to death Thursday.

They fell from a commercial air- Plane speeding to Paris at an alti- tude of 1,500 feet.

The friends said they did not know which of the nine men killed in the Ace of Diamonds the girls had been especially interested in. In Hysterics Over Crash The girls had been living in a west- end hotel in London for the last four or five days, coming to England only a short time after the funeral of the ‘ * British crash-victims in Italy. Their tears and hysterics excited the inter- est of attendants at the London hotel. The girls flew out to death alone. Aside from the airplane's pilot, there ‘was no other person on the eight-pas- senger ship. The Misses Du Bois had 1eserved and paid for every seat in the Plane, apparently in order to be by themselves on the channel crossing. The plane's pilot, J. Kirton, did not notice his passengers’ disappearance ‘until an hour later when he was well out over the channel.

GERMANY ACCUSED OF WAR AMBITIONS BY SOVIET RUSSIA U. S. S. R. Lined Up With France and Britain to Face Nazi Adherence to Pact Moscow, Feb. 21.—(#)—The official organs of Soviet opinion upbraided Germany Thursday with accusations of plans for aggression in both eastern and central Europe. On the heels of the approval of the London agreements extended by Maxim Litvinoff, commissar for for- eign affairs, on the condition they are made effective in their entirety, the authoritative press pictured the Nazis as hungry for war under the disguise of “diplomatic chattering.” General display was given charges many and Poland were preparing for war against the Soviet union.

Arrayed for the skirmishing were the forces of industry, union labor and those who accuse NRA of foster- ing “monopoly.” They were all ready to press their demands. There was no doubt at all in the minds of legislators that one of the fiercest struggles probably would rage section 7-A — the collective provision. They noted that President Roosevelt simply cailed of “the right of em- Ployes freely to organize for the pur- pose of collective bargaining” and did not disclose whether he desires the section changed or continued as} it is, { Senator Wagner (Dem., N.

There have been repeated reports that it would provide majority rule in col- lective bargaining, a principle vigor- ously opposed by many industrialists, and would seek to prohibit what labor leaders call “company unions.” Donald Richberg, director of the national emergency council, said re- vision of section 7-A was a matter en- ministration ofticials. The senate finance committee. which will draft the bill for the New NRA, expects to make an investiga- tion into the Blue Eagle and the ad- ministration of codes. It approved ‘Wednesday the Nye-McCarran reso- lution for such an investigation, which was prompted by allegations that small business is being oppressed.

Many highly-placed Republicans, in and out of congress, supported Hoover's advocacy in Arizona Wed- nesday of a return to the gold stan- dard, but Independent of that party and Demoorats in general cried “im- possible, fantastic.” Speaker Byrns told. newsmen ft would be “natural” for some persons to assume that the Hoover declara- tion was a “campaign statement.” It was Secretary Morgenthau who spoke for the administration at his press conference: “I am perfectly satisfied with the way our monetary policy has worked out during the last year and see no reason for changing it.” Party Support for Hoover Quick support came to Mr. Hoover from such party stalwarts as Senators In New York, Col.
