TERRE HAUTE, Ind, September 30.—A militant police chief, backed by his Mayor, took steps today to pre- vent a scheduled Communist rally here by jailing Earl Browder, the party's presidential candidate, and four asso- ciates. The chief, James C. Yates, arrested Browder as he stepped from a sleeping car in which he had traveled to this ¢ity early today from Chicago. Others Are Arrested. Waldo Frank, a novelist, and Sey- mour Waldman, both of New York, ‘were arrested with Browder. Later Chief Yates placed under ar- rest Charles Stadtfeld, the party’s State chairman, and Andrew Remes, & party worker, Both had come here from Indianapolis to- attend tonight’s meeting. Vagrancy charges were placed against the five. They were taken to jail, and Chief Yates said they would be held at least until tomorrow. Other Communist party members scurried about seeking attorneys who would file habeas corpus action to ob- tain release of those held, but had no immediate success. Mayor Backs Chief. Samuel Beecher, Republican mayor of Terre Haute, said the police chief had his support in the arrest of the Communists. “We are not going to allow com- munism to become established in ““Terre Haute” said Beecher. “Both of our major party presidential can- didates, Mr. Landon and Mr. Roose- velt, recognize communism as a men- ace to this Nation. Therefore, com- munistic speakers are not welcome in Terre Haute. I will do every- thing in my power to protect our citizens’ lives, property and pursuit of happiness from any such movement that threatens to overthrow our Gov- ernment by force. I have instructed my police department accordingly.” Browder, after an address last night , At Gary, Ind, went to Chicago and came to this city, where a meeting had been scheduled in the auditorium of the Indiana State Teachers’ College. Arrangements had been made to broadcast his address over radio sta- tions here and at Evansville. Governor Lacks Authority. INDIANAPOLIS, September 30 (4. ~—Gov. Paul V. McNuit, to whom Earl Browder, Communist candidate for President, appealed 1 a telegram last night against his threatened arrest in Terre Haute, said today he had “no authority to order their release.” The Governor said he had not re- eeived Browder's telegram. Franc (Continued From First Page.) while defending the tripartite mone- tary alignment agreement between Prance, the United States and Great Britain, “Has the American Senate ratified the agreement,” the Rightist asked. M. Auriol did not reply, but went on to say: “The government knows monetary reform is not enough to bring back prosperity, but it hopes the interna- tional co-operation will mark a step toward economic peace.” Abel Gardey, reporter for the Fi- nance Committee of the upper cham- ber, told the members there was no question of rejecting Premier Blum's suggestion to align the franc with the British pound and the United States dollar. He did insist, however, that auxil- fary projects—such as the govern- ment’s price-fixing clause—should be divorced from the mopetary bill, pend- ing careful study during the transi- tion period. “We do not admit devaluation should immediately produce an increase in retain prices,” declared Gardey, chair- man of the Senate Finance Com- mittee. “In any case, if there are increases, necessary adjustment should be en- visaged only after price rises have been stabilized.” » Blames Blum’s Reforms. Senator Gardey blamed Premier Blum’s social reform legislation for the instability of the franc and declared the tripartite ‘“monetary equilibrium accord” contained no for- mal engagements for stabilization of French, British and American cur- rencies. He concluded with the assertion he “recognized his duty to the re- public” and did not wish to cverthrow the government at & critical time. The entire Senate, with the excep- tion of two Communists and a few Socialists, applauded the finance chairman'’s report vigorously. Government leaders labored to bring the Senate to a favorable vote on the measure as it passed the House yesterday after a gruelling night-long session. GERMANY STANDS PAT.

United States and Great Britain, Dr. Schacht said: “We have come to the decision that we shall not add to the uncertainty of international trade—already in- creased by devaluation measures abroad—by ourselves injecting an ele- ment of uncertainty.” However, Dr. Schacht did not say flatly and specifically that Germany has no intention of devaluating the mark. However inconvenient the present German system of foreign exchange regulation may be, he said, “It could not be made superfluous by any mere He emphasized that “no pressure will persuade the Reich government to do something which is against the inferests of its own people and coun- “On the other hand,” Dr. Schacht added, “the Reich government will al- ‘ways be ready to participate in pur- poseful international which, with the safeguarding of na- * tional interests always kept in mind —as also emphasized in the three- power agreement-—strive for the es- ent of free international eco- pic and montary intercourse.” - pry & = Becomes Earl NEW YORKER ACKNOWL- EDGED BY KING EDWARD.
