The investigation by foreign po- lice established that three criminals were chosen in Hungarian territory to participate in the attempt upon Alex- | ander and that they left Hungary freely with Hungarian passports 6. A terrorist organization in Hun- gary had abundant financial resources which exceeded the possibilities of a private source. Anti-Terrorist Treaty Proposed. Yevtich recommended a general treaty for the repression of terrorist activities. He said Yugoslavia ap- pealed to the League only for justice, believing it her duty to call attention to perils “that menace peace and good understading between nations.” “Yugoslavia,” said the foreign min- ister, “is convinced the Council will render a just verdict. It hopes its confidence in the efficiency of the highest organ of the international community will not be shaken.” This final phrase was interpreted in some quarters as meaning that Yugoslavia might resign from the League unless the nation received what she considered satisfaction. Eckhardt made an immediate reply in the Council, protesting that all the accusations were calculated to throw the responsibility for the crime on the shoulders of Hungary, describing them as “a campaign of libel” and not designed to discover the conspirators. ‘The Hungarian representative de- clared thousands of Hungarians were awaiting “in ruin and despair” to be deported from Yugoslavia.

The District grand jury today re- turned an indictment against an al- leged “numbers racket” operator, which will be used by District Attor- ney Leslie C. Garnett as a test case of the strength of the District laws against policy games. The grand jurors, however, ignored a presentment against operators of a “claw machine,” the legal status of which has been in question for some time. Garnett announced after the ignoramus had been returned that this would end his efforts to prevent use of the claw machines. He said he would write a letter to that effect to Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, later in the day. The “numbers” indictment was in 21 counts, some of which had to do with placing bets not on numbers, but on the races. The case was built up by Policeman J. D. Loughrin, who, ac- cording to his statement, made a num- ber of visits last month to a restaurant at 2514 L street, “Marco’s Lunch.” where the numbers and the races could be played.
