EXPOSING PLANS UPSETS THE
“APPLE-CART” ACCORD
ING RELIEF
MOSCOW, Nov., 23, (/P)— A
lawyer with a cigarette in his
hand shot questions at a black
haired and bespectacled Rus
sian, Kuprianov. one of the eight
engineers who plead guilty to a
counter revolution plot against
the Soviet Union, while four
judges sat blowing clouds of
smoke over the court room.
Professor Ramzin, who told of
the alleged plot with European
statesmen to overthrow the So
viet yesterday, looked more like
a judge than a defendant as he
sat on a high bench with am
plifiers at his ears and making
notes of the trial.
An American would have thot
it all part of a movie set as huge
lights illuminated the entire
scene, cameras clicked and were
cranked, flashlights exploding
and everyone talkng into micro
phones.
Everyone, including prisoners.
Soviet soldiers and guards, smok
ed incessantly.
Spectators filled the building
and a long line of ticket holders j
waited ou side.
Kuprianov, while naming of- !
cir.ls in France* and other far- j

FREHISTOnIC C1EHHL
ROCKPORT, Tex. Nov., 28, UP) !
—Evidences of a prehistoric can
nibal civilization in America
have been uncovered by George
C. Martin, archeologist.
Signs of the only cannibals
known to have inhabited this
continent were found on a desert
island near the Gulf of Mexico.
Discovery of the mineralized
bones showing a low skull, half
an inch thick, similar to the Pit
down man of Europe, lends
weight to the theory that the j
newr world may have been inhab- j
ited long before the first Eur-1
opean civilization even existed, j
Exhaustive studies and inves
tigations are to be made in at
tempts to prove this assertion
as new material is’ being un
earthed daily.
Lights and semaphores to regu
late traffic were first tried in 1868
n London.
