Germany Is Not
Satisfied ’Cause
Demand Denied
(By The Associated Press)
PARIS, June 27, — Germany is
dissatisfied because the non-in
tervention committee in London
refused to agree to two of her de
mands for action in view of a
Spanish Loyalist attack on the
German cruiser Leipzig, it was rej
ported here today.
The result was cancellation of
the proposed visit to London of
Doctor Constantine von Neur
ath, German foreign minister, the
reports said.
The two demands refused by
the committee were understood
to have been an armed naval dem
onstration by Britain, France, It
aly, and Germany, off Valencia,
the Loylists' capital, and a severe
warning to Valencia with a threat
of reprisals if such attacks are re
peated.

SLAYER OF VERONICA
DEON CONE
ASTER KILL
(By The Associated Press'*
NEW YORK, June 28—’The path to the electric chair
s chartered for Robert Irwin, long sought youthful
sculptor, was arrested in Chicago yesterday. More than
twelve hours after he surrendered in the offices of the
Herald-Examiner he was brought here by airplane last
night in custody of New York detectives and Poiice
Commissioner Lewis J. Valentine.
District Attorney William C. Dodge said, that altho
the 29 year-old artist was formerly an insane asylum
inmate, he would ask the grasd jury to indict on first
degree murder for the three-timer in slayings of Veron
ica Gedeon, the artist’s model, her mother and a male
roomer.
In his confession made to the Chicago newspaper, he
said: “I figured that if I could remove the sexual im
pulse and put myself under pressure I could solve the
problem of driving out that impulse of man’s life, which
is sex. All the time I knew there was only one way
out and that was by murdering somebody; if I were to
do something like that it would put myself on a spirit
ual plane and make everything even.”
Irwin, also said he meant kill Veronica s sister Ethel.

(By The Associated Press)
MOSCOW, June 28—The unexplained absence of
General Y. I. Alksnis. chief of the Soviet air force and
vice commissar of defense, from the official welcoming
party which he ordinarily would have been present,
led to reports that he had been arrested. Also missing
from the reception for Dr. Otto Schmidt on his return
from establishing the North Pole airbase, was Sigis
mund Levanefsky, the Arctic flier, who became well
known when he flew Jimmy Mattern from Siberia to
Nome. He had been expected to follow the trail blaz
ed by Pilot Chekaloff.
The second Polar flight is fairly well established and
other pilots are preparing for flights. Levanefsky, it
will be recalled, made a successful flight from San
Pedro, Calif., to Moscow in short hops, via Alaska last
j year.
Foreign observers believe that the current wave of
arrests in army circles is continuing.
