ALL PROPERTY OF
EINSTEIN CONFISCATED
BERLIN, Nov. 20.—All property of
the famous scientist Albert Einstein
and his wife was confiscated by secret
police today under laws “concerning
the seizure of communist property
and property of enemies of the state.”
The action culminated the moves
of political police as far back as April
1 in placing his bank account under
sequestration and later seizing his
motor boat and country home at
Caputh.
Dr. Einstein now is associated with
the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton, N. J., where he holds a
chair in physics. With his wife he
fled to Belgium after the rise of the
Hitlerites to power.

GENEVA, Nov. 20.—Leaders who
have sought for weeks to find some
basis for agreement on disarmament
virtually decided Monday to suspend
their efforts for two months.
An official announcement of the re-
cess was expected to be made at a
meeting Tuesday. Whether a pro
gram of work to be conducted in the
interim will be announced was prob-
lematical.
American delegates waited to learn
whether a special conference will be
conducted outside of Geneva and, if
so, what countries would be invited
to join Italy, Germany, Great Britain
and France in such talks. The Amer-
icans have indicated they wished the.
Russians and Japanese to be includ-
ed in such negotiations.
Italian representatives Monday op-
posed a continuation of subcommit-
tee meetings at Geneva during the
recess, but the French spoke in favor
of such a plan. The steering com-
mittee was convoked for Wednesday
to pass on any program of recess
work.
It was said in authoritative circles
that efforts of the United States
delegates, led by Hugh R. Wilson,
American Minister to Switzerland, to
have Russia and Japan added to the
four-power conversations have failed.
Discussions in the interim, if any,
were expected to have as a main ob-
ject the return of Germany to the
disarmament conference, which the
Reich left last month.
Members of the steering commit-
tee met Monday afternoon at the
home of Joseph A. M. C. Avenol, sec-
retary-general of the League of Na-
tions. His home is often referred
to here as the League White House.
M. Avenol planned to go to Rome
to attend the funeral of Senator
Vittorio Scialoja, 79, one of the au-
thors of the league covenant who
died Sunday. Avenol expected to
scuss disarmament problems and

Richardson, near Ervay, South Dal-
las, the home of Perry W. Chandler,
a Dallas policeman. The pistol, an
old weapon formerly used by Mr.
Chandler, had been left in a dresser
drawer.
“I had just started to put it back
in the bureau drawer when it went
_ j off,” Perry W. Chandler Jr., 11, said
in a statement to Assistant District
Attorney Winter King.
“We had all come home from
school just a little before,” he said,
“and were fixing to go to Billie’s
birthday party. I had a present for
Billie and went to the house to hunt
it. While we were hunting it we
found the pistol. Some of the boys
looked at it. I said for them to be

Monday when a shotgun was dis-
charged while he was trying to un-

automobile near the city offices when
the accident occurred.
Hodges said he had been hunting
squirrels near Alba with a borrowed
gun and was about to return it to its
owner. He had been using old shells
and decided to examine the gun to
see if any of them had hung.

WELFARE WORK
(By Miss Lauria Rugeley)
“Aunt Chaney” Adams, who, not
long since, “went to glory,” used to
wash for us and whenever we would
ask if she could use a discarded gar-
ment, a bed quilt or piece of furni-
ture or just anything, she would in-
variably reply: “Cose I Kin, honey.
Now chillen, don’t never throw away
nothin’, cause somebody kin use it.”
How many times those words have
rung in my ears since engaging in
Welfare Work—“Somebody kin use
it.” In the past week I have made
a personal inspection of practically
every shanty within the city limits
that is supposed to be a home and
in most of them, find conditions de-
plorable! These conditions have ex-
isted “since the memory of the oldest
inhabitant runneth not back to the
contrary,” but, with the combined
forces of the Public School, the Red
Cross and the R. F. C., surely some-
thing can be done to relieve the sit-
uation.
Some of the homes are tents, with
dirt floors, very little water avail-
able, no mattresses, not sufficient
clothing nor bedclothing. A family
of five occupy a small tent, the child-
ren sleeping on quilts on a dirt floor,

Billy Biddy, 4 or 5 year old son
of Dan Biddy, was injured Monday
night when hit by Sheriff Harvey’s
car as it started up. The small child
was standing directly in front of one
of the wheels of the sheriff’s car
when he started up and Mr. Harvey
couldn’t see him. Mr. Harvey was

DALLAS, Nov. 18.—The telephone
of Ivan Irwin, Dallas attorney, jangl-

Earl Hilliard, negro, pleaded, “Come
and get me—I just killed a man!”
Irwin rushed to an East Dallas ad-
dress, picked up his new client in his
automobile, telephoned the sheriff
he was bringing him and began
checking up.
“Are you cei’tain you killed him?”
Irwin asked.
“I know I did,” the negro affirm-
ed. “I stuck the pistol right under
his nose and pulled the trigger. He
flopped down on the sidewalk an’ I
ran ”
Irwin took Hilliard to the court
house. Police were notified to inves-
tigate. Just as the district attorney
| began thinking up phrases for a
murder charge, police telephoned the
victim described was not dead; that
he hadn’t even TYeen hit but had
fainted just before the shot was fired.
“Hot dawg!” Hilliard sighed, with
relief. “Can I go now?”

AUSTIN, Nov. 20.—The Texas Re-
lief Commission today started the
task of ratifying appointments by
commissioners courts of county relief
boards to administer funds to be ob-
tained through sale of a state bond
issue.
Several county judges were before
the commission to urge approval of
the members nominated by them for
the work of distributing money to the
needy.
Representatives of two factions in
Hidalgo who have been at logger-
heads over the personnel of the coun-
ty board there, told the commission
that they were unable to settle their
difficulties.
The commission voted that the com-
missioners courts proceed to name the
county relief boards and administra-
tors and that they function pending
confirmation of their appointment by
the commission. At a previous meet-
ing the commission had ruled that
existing relief boards, which function-
ed under direction of the old rehabili-
tation and relief commission, be con-
tinued until new boards were approv-
ed.
Governor Miriam A. Ferguson pre-
sided over the commission meeting,
as its ex-officio chairman, for a time,
but finally turned the gavel over to
B. E. Giesecke of Austin.
The commission approved Gover-
nor Ferguson’s request to the fed-
eral government for $1,502,500, the
money to be used for relief during
November and to be replaced from
proceeds of the sale of $2,750,000 in
state bonds, advertised for Dec. 1.
It also sanctioned a requisition by
her of $1,324,952 for October needs.
