NAZI PHYSICIST KILLED MEDICAL STUDENT
MANY NATIONS COMMENCE
DRIVES ON COMMUNISTS IN
COUNTRIES WHO ARE REDS
(By The Associated Press i
Undated, Feb. 5, —All
eged communistic activities
brought raids, labor demon
strations and official denun
ciations in Europe, Mexico
and South America.
Five nations in southeast
ern Europe—Hungary, Bui
gara, Yugoslavia, Rumania
and Austria—struck simul
taneously, amid warnings
of a new Red menace, with
attempts to rouse the pub
lic against an increase of
Soviet Russian influence.
In the valley of the Dan
ube, Hungary crushed an
organization allegedly com
munistic.
In Bulgaria, 50 persons
were arrested in a series of
raids, and nineteen gypsies
were put on trial for com
munistic activities.
Rumanan, Yugoslavian,
and Austrian police made
many raids. Some of the
Austrian press indicated
the belief that Russia was
seeking to replace Italy as
the dominant power in the
southeastern area, taking
advantage of Italy’s opera
tions in East Africa.
A two-day shutdown of
industry in Mexico found
organized labor and capital
ists combined against what
they termed an open attem
pt to establish a Bolshevik
dictatorship.
In South America, offi
cial statements accused
communists of fomenting
railway strike trouble in
Chile, and of underground
political activities in Para
guay.

Crooks Desert
Ocean Vessels
For 3 Reasons
(By The Associated Press)
Havre, France, Feb. 5,—
Steamship police report in
ternational crooks, hit hard
by depression, are disap
pearing from the high seas.
These suave gentlemen,
who at one time profitably
plied the ocean trade be
tween New York and Hav
re, now cannot even pay
their passage with their
meagre gains, according to
Louis Henry, head of the
police on the Normandie.
Henry gives three reas
ons for the diminishing
number of card sharps, con
fidence men and ordinary
petty thieves traveling on
ocean liners.
First is poker’s waning
popularity and bridge’s
gains.
“Bridge players, usual
ly aware of their limitations
hesitate before playing with
st'rangers for high stakes”
he said.
Second bitter memories
of the Wall street crash of
1929 sharpened skipticism
among American travelers
and even the most logical
arguments of persuasive
confidence men fall on deaf
ears these days.
Third, reduction of the
number of days crossing the
Atlantic makes for a virtual
impasse for international
crooks to lay a solid ground
work for “friends.”
Stewarts, valets and wait
ers are trained to observe
movements of passengers.
In this way Henry said,,
thefts are kept down to a
minimum.

The federal alcohol admin
istration recently decided
the difference between
beer, and ale.

acteristic flavor and aroma
destinctive of beer, and con
taining not less than one
half of one percent of alco
hol by volume.
Ale is a malt beverage
produced by top fermenta
tion, possessing the char
acteristic flavor and aroma
distinctive of ale, having an
original gravity of not less
than 13.50 balling, contain
ing not less than one-half
of one percent of alcohol

or.
