The last trace of the Ruth era was erased by the reconstruction work that greatly increased the seating capacity of the bleachers.

PARIS, October 3.—Fresh rein- forcements of mobile guards were rushed to Paris today to assure order during a strike of hotel and restaurant workers. Authorities announced street parad- ing would be prohibited and strong | police units were stationed in princi- pal squares to prevent disturbances. The reinforcements were in addi- tion to the 4,000 guardsmen called to the capital during parliamentary de- | bate on the franc devaluation bill. Special mobile squads were held in readiness to rush to the scene of any disorder. Cafes Evacuated. By early afternoon, however, the police had induced the strikers to evacuate most of the cafes and restaurants which they were holding on the Champs Elysees, and then | superintended the immediate closing of the establishments. Twenty-two strikers who had been | detained for questioning were re-! leased. ‘The government, meanwhile, de-| cided to permit a Communist meet- ing tomorrow against which Col.

On the economic front, the National Price Serveillance Committee called a meeting of the principal producers of manufactured and raw articles for October 8 to acquaint them with the government’s determination to block any unjustified increases in the prices of prime necessities, in consequence of devaluation of the franc. The management of one of the largest hotels on the boulevards called on the police to evacuate two-thirds of its employes, who, it said, were preventing the others from working. The strikers were ejected without major difficulty, but the cooks put out the kitchen fires before leaving and the guests had cold luncheons. The striking cafe workers, demand- ing elimination of the tipping sys- tem, threatened to close all eat- ing and drinking establishments and leave hotel ‘guests without service. The strikers demanded addition of a fixed percentage to cafe checks instead of individual tipping. g Harassed officials pondered the ad- visability of invoking a new labor law which they had promised Parliament (See PARIS STRIKE, Page A-2) ALEXANDRIA MAN, WIFE, DIE IN CRASH Couple Killed as Auto Runs Head- on Into Truck on Curve at Bridge. £y tke Associated Press.

MADRID, October 3.—The wail of assault guard sirens, the second iime in the same night, shattered the dawn today, heralding an insurgent “mystery” air raid. Five hours earlier, Facist planes swooped down on the moonlit capi- tal and dropped their loads of bombs under heavy return fire of anti-air- craft batteries ringing the city. Sirens screamed through the first | 15 minutes of daylight and were then suddenly hushed. No explosions were | heard in the city and it was believed the insurgent flyers had passed over. (Insurgent commanders previously | had announced a “campaign of tér- | ror” to be directed against the capi- tal, hoping to reduce the city by breaking the morale of its Xhhlbi-i tants.)

When the reading room was full yesterday police raided the library, arresting 300 accused of espionage to- gether with many others who later were exonerated. The Atadell brigade also was re- ported to have arrested Ricardo Belt- ran, president of Youthful Carlists of Barcelona, who had been sought for more than two months as a Fascist agent.

By the Associated Press. COLUMBUS, Ohio, October 3.— Pire broke out today in the idle house of Ohio Penitentiary, but prison of- ficials reported a short time later that it apparently was under control. ‘There were no prisoners in the old building when the blaze was discov- ered in a section where equipment for sterilizing clothing is operated. The inmates had gone to the dining halls for their noon meal and were imme- diately rounded up and placed in other cell blocks. Heavy reinforcements of city police and highway patrolmen were rushed to the century-old building to augment the regular guards and maintain order. Fifty school children visiting the institution were forced to flee outside when the flames broke out shortly after 11 o'clock (E. 8. T.). The idle house is located almost in the center «of the prison grounds. It houses prisoners who are not assigned to tasks in workshops. Squads of State highway patrol- men from surrounding districts were rushed to the prison. ‘The prisoners housed in the idle house were returned to their cell blocks. Warden James C.

By the Assoctated Press. SUMMIT, N. J, October 3.—Mrs. Maureen Orcutt Crews of Coral Gables, Fla., led Pam Barton, British title holder, 1 up, today at the end of nine holes of the 36-hole final of the fortieth United States women's golf championship over the links of the Canoe Brook Country Club. Out in 42—three over par—to 44 for her rival, Mrs. Crews, usually a con- sistent putter, wasted many opportu- nities on the greens to increase her advantage. She missed 3-footers for wins on the third and fifth holes and another for a half at the sixth. Two down through the first four holes, Pam rallied and won the sixth and seventh in par to pull up level. She lost the second when her drive sliced into a crack. She had the choice of a penalty stroke or playing it out. She tried the latter, and the ball struck a tree and bounced back in the pond. Pam three-putted fourth from 33 feet. Maureen, a finalist nine years ago, regained the lead at the ninth, mak- ing a great recovery from a trap and sinking a 3-foot putt for a winning 4. Miss Barton, who also was in the trap, exploded 10 feet short of the cup and missed, taking a 5. CUSTOMS DUTIES CUT BY FRENCH MINISTRY Reduction of 20 Per Cent An- nonunced and Committee Named to Study Revisions. By the Assoclated Press., PARIS, October 3.—The ministry of national economy established today a special committee for customs revision after announcing a reduction up to 20 per cent in French duties. A decree in the official journal explained the belief of the government that “excep- tionally strong” customs protection was no longer necessary, since prices of French goods have returned to a world level with devaluation of the franc. The duty cut will apply to a great many American imports, including those on which there is a special unit tax in addition to the import duty. The decree does not alter the prohibi- tion previously in effect against im- portation of certain articles.

By the Lssociated Press. WILHELMSHAFEN, Germany, Oc- tober 3.—Germany’s first 26,000-ton battleship was launched today by Gen. Werner von Blomberg, minister of war, It was christened Scharnhorst, after Gen. Gerhard Johann David von Scharnhorst, early nineteenth century Prussian military hero. The name, Gen. von Blomberg ex- plained, was doubly symbolic. It also was borne by the World War cruiser which was sunk by British gunfire in the great battle off the Falklang Islands in the South Atlantic, in 1914. It was Gen. von Scharnhorst who early in the nineteenth century created Prussia’s universal compulsory mili= tary service. “This ship therefore can bear no worthier name than that of the man who 130 years ago. when Prussia lay crushed, saw in the fusion of the army with the people the secret of victory and the guarantee of freedom,” Von Blomberg said. The battleship, which has been called “battleship D,” will carry nine 11-inch guns and twelve 6-inch anti- aircraft pieces.
