FRENCH REDS BACK NEUTRALITY PLAN Reversal in Communist Po- sition Averts Threat to . Blum Cabinet. BY the Associated Press. PARIS, December 9.—The sttength of the Popular Front government was vestored today after a crisis which threatened to force the resignation of Bocialist Premier Leon Blum. Possibility of a Communist defec- tion from the coalition because of its insistence on French neutrality in the Bpanish civil war was averted when & Leftist leader declared the party would support non-intervention. The Communist spokesman, Marcel Cachin, said the party would advocate strengthening the “hands-off” agree- ment by urging its extension to pro- hibit transportation of volunteers to Spain. ‘The statement satisfied the demands of Socialists, who, with the Radical Bocialists in the Blum cabinet, had demanded France adhere to neutrality, for a showdown. It represented a reversal in the Communist position, interpreted by political observers as recognition that continued attacks on the premier might necessitate dissolution of the Popular Front and lead to the forma- tion of an anti-Communist govern- ment.

RUMANIAN “ROBIN HOOD” GETS 5 YEARS IN PRISON | Authorities Ponder How to Hold . Bandit Who Charms Guards With His Eloquence. BY the Associated Press. BACAU, Rumania, December 9.— Rumania’s silver-tongued “Robin Hood,” the celebrated Coroju, who practices ‘banditry with a smile and frowns at bloodshed, was sentenced yesterday to five years in prison. Moreover, authorities are consider ing getting stone-deaf guards to keep Coroju behind the bars. They are frankly nervous about his siren-like eloquence. For, the last | time Coroju escaped—one of a long series—he not only walked out him- self, but persuaded his guards to join him in a life of romantic outlawry. Coroju restricts his raids to wealthy estate owners, like the English Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest, and simi- larly distributes his loot among the poor, he stoutly maintains.

An assertion that the new Congress ought to be able to cut both relief and ordirary Government expenditures was linked today by Chairman Bu- chanan, Democrat, of Texas, of the House Appropriations Committee with another that he believed it could not balance the budget. “But I think,” he said, "we ought to take a considerable step toward balancing the budget so that we can do s0 at the 1938, session. “Increased taxes will keep up with such things as social security, so that when we get rid of relief appropria- tions we shall have a balanced budget, 1. Handkerchiefs are jetely finished. ~ Speels en 'te menor: even with some appropriations for public works.” Buchanan said he favored some form of permanent public works program, although not necessarily an annual appropriation for works projects. He expressed the belief Congress should supply funds to be held in reserve until “some acute unemploy- ment situation” develops. Then the money might be used for projects in- vestigated and approved in advance to take up the slack in employment. The chairman expressed & hope for ending “enormous relief” expendi- tures, but said “we can't do it this year.” Issue to Be Faced Soon. With the current appropriation for works relief nearly exhausted, Con- gress will face early in the coming session the problem of whether to provide more funds. \ “Speaking without knowledge of what is in the budget,” he said, “I think we ought to be able to cut ex- penditures, for relief and other pur- poses, because the country is in a better condition.” ‘The appropriations of the last Con- gress, ircluding more than $2,000,- 000,000 for the bonus, were $10,078,= 000,000.
