American Minister Culbertson placed the lezation flag at half staif and sent a huge floral picce to the Athenaeum Palace, where the premier's body is Iying in state. The wreath bore a red. white and biue ribbon. Thousands of persons continued all day to pass the simple pine coffin. The late premier’s face is partly cov ered by flowers to conceal the absence of his beard, which was shaved by sur geons before they operated. g It is believed that Dr. Julio Maniu, leader of the National Peasants’ party, which had espoused the cause of Carol, will be willing to allow the pres- ent government to act until January, so that it may dispose of the budget and other urgent business. Publicly he has demanded dissolution of Parlia- ment and new elections.

Having this viewpoint in mind, chamber officials are at a loss to un- derstand what the President meant in referring to runners at the Govern- ment bureaus asking for special serv- ices that cost money. Mr. Coolidge now has called on the Chamber of Commerce to point out economies that can be effected. He thinks it absurd that any national organization would favor a temporary deficlt, though the chamber contends that a deficit is re mote, because if receipts fall below expenditures the Federal Government need not pay off anything beyond the usual sinking fund requirement on the public debt and that elasticity really is possible. The opportunity for difference of opinion as to what the Government can or cannot do in the way of tax reduction is by no means exhausted, as Congress will scrutinize carefully the Chamber of Commerce referen- dum. The chémber, on the other hand, probably will advise its mem- bership of any new data that the Treasury may develop on what can or cannot be done. The present difficulty is due largely to the fact that a referendum vote was begun before the Treasury data was made public. FORMER “GOB” URGED AS SENATE CHAPLAIN Rev. W. §.

By the Associated Press KHARKOV, Ukrainia —A defense of Joseph S ovember 26. f lin, general | t party, was made today by Alexis I. Rykoff, (‘lmlr-i man of the People’s Council of com- missars, in an address at the n- n Communist conference. He warned | the opposition to cease its efforts to “break up the Communist party.” M. Rykoff declared that the dele gates at the fifteenth Communist con- ference probably will adopt a resolu- tion to make public the “will” of the late Nikolai Lenine, thus snatching a weapon from the hands of the oppo sition. (Lenine's so-called will really is one of the last letters he left making sug- gestion for the future wuidance of the Communist party. It has never been published in authorized form. Re- cently Leon Trotzky at a stormy ses- sion of the Communist party in Mos- cow, before his expulsion from the arty, read portions of the letter in which Lenine suggested that Stalin be removed from his post as secretary of the party because he was too “rough” Stalin himself took up this gauge, admitting that Leninc had written this, and declaring that his “roughness” was for the sake of the party.) ""M. Rykoff told the Ukrainian con- terence that the government had reached a decision to arrest all per- sons carrying on terroristic propa- ganda, particularly for threats against Stalin. “This tirade against the general sec- retary of the Communist party, calling him a dictator and Fascist leader, gave rise in circles sympathizing with the opposition to talk of the desirability of terroristic acts, aimed primarily against Stalin,” M. Rykoff said. Continuing, M. Rykoff declared that the opposition had centered the main force of its attack on Stalin, thus masking its plans to break up the Communist party. He said that the opposition not only had published and spread illegal circulars and pamphlets but recently had issued a daily bulle- tin resembling a newspaper.

By the Associated Press, OSSINING, N. Y, November 26.— Mrs. Ruth Snyder, reacting from the depression that overcame her when she was informed of the Court of Ap- peals’ ruling that she must die in the week of January 9, yesterday showed a revived interest in plans for a re- newed effort to save her life. “Say, I wonder what the lawyers for Gray ‘are doing?” prison attaches quoted the widow of Albert Snyder as inquiring today. It was the first time in weeks she had mentioned her for- mer lover, Henry Judd Gray, with whom she was convicted last Summer of the murder of her husband on March 20 in their Queens Village home. “My spirit has been poor, and I have been in pretty bad shape,” keepbrs quoted Mrs. Synder as saying, ready to fight for my rights now.” Mrs. Synder, who said she had spent $13.000 on her legal defense, intimated today that she might add another at- torney to her staff. The condemned woman expressed the hope that she wouldn't have to go ‘in black,” the deathhouse term for the electric chair. Much of the thoughts of Gray and Mrs Snyder apparently are devoted to their respective families. Mrs. Snyder has asked the advice of prison attend ants in regard to having her 9-year- old daughter, Lorraine, visit her at Sing Sing. She has been counseled not to let Lorraine see her in the deathhouse, keepers said. Gray has been more concerned lately over the condition of his sister, who Is ill over his own plight.
