THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, 7 uUE[N MARY [:U'[s Ethiopian War Writer Foils AR 4 HOR British Liner Crosses From ‘Cherbourg in 4 Days, 7 Hours and 12 Minutes. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 24.—The giant liner Queen Mary, flying the blue pen- nant, symbol of Atlantic speed su- premacy, came in today from Cher- bourg breakwater to Ambrose Light- ship in 4 days, 7 hours, 12 minutes. Despite encountering fog off New England, Cunard White Star Line of- ficials said the Queen Mary lowered the Normandie's existing record by ¢ hours 30 minutes. Her average speed was 30:01 knots, 37 knot greater than the mark set by the French liner on her maiden voyage June 3, 1835, ‘The Queen Mary had broken the Normandie’s time for the westward crossing last July 26, but did not claim the blue ribbon then because her course was slightly shorter. This latest trip was an hour and 25 minutes faster than the July 26 Voyage. The lines had-agreed that average $peed rather than elapsed time would establish claim to the pennant of speed supremacy. The liner continued to Quarantine, anchoring there overnight before pro- teeding to her pier at 7:30 a.m. Sir Edgar Britten, commodore of the Cunard White Star Line, held the Queen Mary at full speed through a short stretch of light fog about noon yesterday. The mist then cleared and passengers were reported excited over the prospects of setting a record. The Cherbourg-Ambrose course is 3.098 miles. For the 24 hours ending at noon yesterday the liner covered %753 miles at an average of 30.12 knots. Helen Hayes, the American actress, and her playwright husband, Charles MacArthur, were among the 2,000 passengers, as were Edsel Ford and family. Jesse Owens, colcred Ameri- can Olympic star, was on the pas- senger list. . Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) Central Conference of American Rabbis, one of a half dozen who ad- dressed the President, expressed grati- fication over the administration’s *good neighbor,” reciprocal trade and eutrality policies, but added: 4 “We are profoundly disturbed over the vast appropriations for armaments during your administration. We know that your intentions are pacific and that these armaments are not in- tended for purposes of aggression, but all history proves that such an arma- ment race as we are now engaged in and leading can have but one out- come—war.” He urged the President to take the lead in an “international disarmament race and thereby to extend the good neighbor policy to the entire world.” Mr. Roosevelt, his callers said, ex- pressed the belief that 95 per cent of the people of every nation are opposed to war, but that unfortunately, on this subject, as on many others, many gov- ernments are behind instead of abrest of the wishes of the people of their countries. The President was quoted further as sbelieving that the popular demand for | . . peace in this hemisphere is stronger _than ever and that proof of this is tdemonstrated in the Buenos Aires Con- “ference of American Republics, to be held next December. The greatest good for the future of mankind, he was represented as tell- ing the delegation, can be accom- .plished by spreading the popular be- “lief of the Western hemisphere to ‘other parts of the world.

REVELATION HINTED IN CLEVENGER DEATH Doomed Colored Youth Indicates He Will Soon “Tell Something Important” in Case. Br the Assoclated Press. RALEIGH, N. C,, August 24.—While plans went forward for an appeal from his death sentence, Martin Moore, 6- foot-3 colored youth, hinted today he would soon “tell something important” about Helen Clevenger's death. The 22-year-old former hotel hall- boy, removed to a cell on “death’s row” in the State Penitentiary here after his conviction of killing the blond uni- versity student, did not say what the “something important” was. In the presence of Warden H. H. Honeycutt, Moore talked with reporters in his little white-washed cell—just a few paces from the concrete gas cham- ber where he was sentenced to die Oc- tober 2. He persisted in denial that he killed the girl, Rev. M. L. Breeding, president of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People at Ashe- ville, said the sssociation would raise funds to finance an appeal.

BACKGROUND: When Nikolai Lenin, then dicta- tor, was stricken with paralysis in 1921, Trotzky became briefly ihe head of the Russian government. Despite his great popularity with the Rusisan masses, however, the all-Russian congress named Stalin. Kamenefl and Zinoviefl—to rule. Trotzky Dbitterly voiced his dis- satisfaction. Lenin died in Janu- ary, 1924, and Stalin became dic- tator. Trotsky and Zinoviefl bid Jor the dictatorship in the face of Stalin’s strength and finally was extled. by tne Associated Press. MOSCOW, August 24 —Sixteen con- fessed conspirators against the Soviet state were sentenced today to death by firing squad as the “highest meas- ure of social defense” of the govern- ment. For the first time since the Bolshe- viks came into power, they ordered the death penalty for leaders who marched in the October revolution 19 years ago. The verdict handed down at dawn by a military collegium of the Supreme Court was expected to have widespread domestic and international reactions. The prisoners were declared guilty of having plotted with the exiled Leon Trotzky, war minister of early revo- lution days, to assassinate Dictator Joseph Stalin and others high in the government and Communist party. Blamed for Kiroff Death. They were convicted also of having brought about the assassination of Sergei Kiroff, chief aide to Stalin, at Leningrad late in 1934 or of bringing into Russia instructions allegedly from Trotzky for carrying out the ter- rorist plot. Trotzky from his Norwegian haven denied connection with the plot, but the prisoners admitted guilt and some named Trotzky as a colleague. All the prisoners’ property will be | confiscated by the state.

The prisoners, including two old leaders who once stood with Trotzky at the very top of the party, were in a state of collapse as Chief Judge V. V. Ulrich read the 10-minute-long verdict in sharp staccato sentences and condemned them to death. BSeve eral of them, including the once powerful Gregory Zinovieft and Leon Kameneff, had admitted they “de- served” the death sentence. The Soviets thus sought to avenge anew the 20-month-old slaying of Kiroff. Between 100 and 200 persons already have paid with their lives for that crime. Opposition Wiped Out. The verdict, observers believed, also wiped out the most persistent oppo- sition group Stalin has faced since he took over power from Nikolal Lenin, Trotzky, tied to the plot by wit- nesses, was termed also the only re- maining leader who could oppose the Soviet regime. Said his brother-in-law, the con- demned Kameneff, apparently hint- ing & wish for death to the exiled leader: “After our deaths, Trotzky will re- main as the only person to organize, guide and supervise terroristic activi- ties against Soviet leaders. “The sooner his hand i9 checked the better.” NAtional 6800 EATIN CONTRACTORS & ENGINEERS E.J.
