LOS ANGELES, August 6.—Golf- dom’s erstwhile mystery man, John Montague, must be extradited to New York whether Gov. Frank Merriam wills it or not, James Howie, State deputy attorney general, declared yes- terday. Howie filed 2 memorandum of au- thority with the Governor declaring: “The Governor of California, in this instance, has no discretion and is bound by the provisions of the Fed- eral Constitution and section 5278 of the Revised Statutes of the United States to grant the request of New York State for the extradition of this fugitive.” Eastern authorities are here to re- turn Montague, under the name of La Verne Moore, to Essex County, N. Y., on charges of participating in a Jay road house hold-up in 1930. The Governor has the extradition request under advisement. Two affidavits made in 1930 were brought here by New York officials and flled yesterday with Gov. Mer- riam. In one, Matt Cobb of Jay said he had been held up the night of August 4, 1930; that one of four men who engineered the crime was named “Vgrne,” and that “Verne” struck him with a revolver and a blackjack. “A picture shown me now of La «KAY'S Select from a complete display of nationally famous standard priced watches.

ZURICH, Switzerland, August 6.— The majority of American delegates to the World Zionist Congress sup- ported today a resolution interpreted by some observers as favoring the principle of the British plan to parti- tion Palestine. The resolution, presented by the Zionist labor bloc which controls 45 per cent of the voting strength of the congress, actually would em- power the Zionist Executive Com- mittee to “conduct negotiations for the purpose of ascertaining precisely the scope of the British government's | proposal.” Most observers believed the measure would be adopted it already had the approval of many delegates opposed AT ALL TOILET GOO0DS COUNTERS 10¢ - 50¢ ond $1.00 16 prevent sunburn, return the unuted portion to the letter of the Royal Commission’s plan to parcel Palestine into severeign Jewish and Arab states and a newly mandated territory that would in- clude Jerusalem, Nazareth and Bethle- hem. The resolution would require the Executive Committee to report the result of its negotiations to anotHer, specially elected Zionist Congress, but would prohibit the executives from making any commitments. ‘The majority decision of the Ameri- can delegation was reached at a caucus last night under the chairman- ship of Louis Lipsky of New York. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the Zionist organization of America, and Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland, principal American opponents of the partition, were absent. The vote was 18 in favor of the labor resolution, four against and two abstentions. The delegation designated six members as spokesmen in the political debate today. Three of these favor the negotia- tions—Abraham Goldberg of New York, Rabbi Barnett Bricker of Cleve- land and Rabbi Solomon Goldman of Chicago. The other three are opposed —Dr. Wise, Rabbi Silver and Mrs. David de Sola Pool of New York.
