The Armour and company plant at South St. Paul, remained idle and its striking employes tried to enlist workers of other packing plants in a walkout.

Striking gasoline station attendants at St. Louis were asked by the regional labor board to go. to work pending mediation. Leaders agreed to submit the idea to membership of a new union. Filling stations of the major oil companies all -wer closed and a shortage cf gasoline was forecast by officials if the strike were not quickly ended.

Hope of amicable relations in the future was expressed by both sides after two large newspaper machinery companies and the machinists union signed -an agreement at Plainfield, N. outlawing strikes and lockouts, providing for settlement of disputes by conference and making future wages largely dependent upon volume of business. Farm strikers at Rock Lake, N. again prevented shipment from the railway siding of livestock and prod ice.

ALBERT EINSTEIN PROPERTY SEIZED Germany's Secret Police Confiscate Holdings of Scientist BERLIN, Nov: 20 (JP 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 sequestering his bank account and later seizing his motor boat and country home at Caputh.

(When Dr. Einstein planned to go to the United States in December 1932 he was asked by the American consulate in Berlin whether he were a communist. He replied, "I don't propose to answer such silly questions." Mrs. Einstein at that time declared emphatically that her husband was neither a communist nor an anarchist and that he had never been either.) The official Gazette Uchsan-zeiger, in prirfng the legal notice of the seizure, "listed All mnWio and immobile goods, particularly Dame accounts and other deposits." to be confiscated in favor, of the Prussian state. The announcement was signed by the secret state police.

Dr. Einstein is now associated with the institute for advanced study Jn Princeton, N. where he holds a chair in physics. With his wife he fled to Belgium after the rise of the Hitlerites to power. He left Belgium and ar rived in London September 9.

After living in seclusion for some time he went to the United States.

Those are the interests now seeking control of the government." The senate voted for the resolution, 38 to 2, and the house accepted the amendments, 93 to 23, after having voted for the resolution, 95 to 24. Prohibition was adopted in 1880 by a popular "vot of 92.3C2 to 84,304. CLUB ELECTS CLARKSDALE.

BALLOON LANDING AFTER HIGH CLIMB Stratosphere Balloon Sighted Over New jersey; Ascended 58,000 Feet SALEM, N. Nov.

20 (5s) The Settle stratosphere balloon, after a 58,000 foot ascent, was sighted over southwestern New Jersey tonight and was believed dropping slowly to a landing. The big bag last was seen over Daretown, about 15 miles east of here at 8:45 p. m. (EST) it was over a sparsely settled country and naval authorities said they believed the balloon's skipper Lieut. Commander T.

G. W. Settle was maneuvering the unwieldly bulk as best he could, seeking a favorable spot to land. A six mile ground wind was blowing over this area. There was no apprehension for safety of Settle or his aide as weather conditions were good.

Settle let his balloon soar skyward from Akron, Ohio, at 9:27 a. m. today and it began drifting toward the Atlantic Seaboard. He maintained communication with the ground by wireless and reported he had reached 58,000 feet, something more than 11 miles. Observations were made and then the balloon began a slow descent.

It drifted over cities and was reported at regular intervals until dusk blotted it out. A report that the balloon landed at Alloway, N. near Salem, early in the evening was investigated by New Jersey state police, who reported the Information erroneous. A complete check of the countryside was kept by state police. The latest word they received was that the bag was drifting slowly and low over the sparsely settled southwestern part of the state.

WEALTHY HEIR IS KILLED BY WIFE Family Quarrel At Fashionable Home Has Fatal Results PAULSBORO, N. Nov. 20 (JP) a. sneidon Clark, wealthy young heir and son of an oil com pany executive, was shot and killed in his palatial home tonight after wnat police described as a quarre with his wife, a former actress. She was taken to a hospital with an injury to her head which au thorities said had been inflicted by a Diinard cue wielded by Clark, and police placed a guard aroun her be.

No charge has been placed against ner. Clark, who was 35, and the son or a.

Authorities said he was in the room, playing a game 01 billiards with Clark at the time of the shooting.

Questioning him and Mrs. Le-vinia Brovn, housekeeper and nurse for the Clarks two small children, police said they learned the quarrel started in the dining room. "I heard angry words between them," Chief of Police WInfield Matson quoted Mrs. Brown as saying. "Then suddenly I heard Mrs.

Clark scream: 'Sheldon, you've kill ed "A moment later Mr. Clark came out of the dining room. He had a broken billiard cue in his hand. I could hear Mrs. Clark weeping in the dining room.

Mr. Clark went down to the billiard room again." continuing the story, Johnson told Chief Matson that Clark replaced the cue in the rack on his return to the billiard room, selected another one, and continued the game. "We played a few minutes and Clark was making a shot when the door of the billiard room opened and Mrs. Clark came into the room. "She had a bloody towel wrapped around her head.

She stood there a moment, staring sort of wildly. Then she said: 'Sheldon, you've killed me' "With that she reached into the folds of the towel around her head and pulled out a pistol. She pointed it at him before I had time to move or he had to do anything and fired."

Two weeks ago Stratton wrestled Hugh Nichols, the world's light heavyweight champion, in a championship match, and It seemed for a while that Stratton would win the belt. Red Lyons is a 175 pound boy from Beaumont, Texas, and if he is like all the other wrestlers who hail from Texas he is among the best. In fact, he is rated as one of the chief contenders in the light heavyweight division. Freddy Kufper will be matched against wild Red Berry in the 0-minute semi-final match.

This bout will be more like a boxing match without gloves, and the man who Is perhaps the meanest and thp toughest will be the victor. ALL-AMERICAN EXPERTS BUSY Selection of Mythical Honor Eleven Offers Difficult Problems NEW YORK, Nov. 20. The latest succession of college football somersaults had the effect today of further scrambling the All-America picture. The attempt to put most of the pieces together already has the experts groggy.

Just, when it looked as though things were getting pretty well settled in the backf ield, on the basis of Associated Press reports, a number of energetic young athletes ripped the situation wide apart last Saturday and tore a number of gaping holes in the mythical picture as well as the opposition's defense. Any doubt as to the all-around class of Francis (Pug) Lund, star Minnesota halfback, was completely removed by his great exhibition against Michigan, Pug was the standout In a game that brought together a number, of leading All-America candidates, including Chuck Bernard, Wolverine center, and Ted Petoskey, end. The Gopher ace demonstrated he can do about everything with a football except swallow it. Eastern critics acclaim Norman (Red) Franklin of Oregon State as the best ball-carrier and all-around back they have watched this season, with the exception of Army's famous Jack Buckler. Franklin gave a much more impressive exhibition against Fordham than did George (Icehouse) of Stl Mary's, who came East heralded as the best ball-lugger on the West Coast.

The Oregon State player's runback of the opening klckoff for 93 yards and a touchdown was one of the year's classic stunts. Not even Nebraska's first defeat obscured the all-around ability of George Henry Sauer, Husker fullback, but in the South "Preacher" Roberts of Tulane and Beattie Feathers. of Tennessee flashed to the front of the All-America race again with dazzling performances. At the.same time Princeton's Garry Levan, sparkplug of the untied, unbeaten and unscored on Tigers, gave another exhibition against the Navy that marked him as one of the country's foremost halfbacks. Meanwhile the returns from the Far West were not calculated to make it easier to name the country's, best backf ield quartet.

Just when experts were beginning to view Southern California's talent with some skepticism, Irvine (Cotton) Warburton, Trojan quarterback, broke loose with an All-America performance against Oregon. The rout of the previously unbeaten Pacific Coast leaders also served to emphasize the ability of Aaron Rosenberg, rugged Trojan guard. In the Mid-West, Dougal Russell of Kansas State strengthened his all-star rating by his performance against Oklahoma, whose big tackle, "Cash" Gentry, already has been nominated for All-America recognition. Iowa's upset victory over the previously unbeaten Purdue team served to focus additional attention upon the talents of Francis (Bud) Schammel, considered the outstanding guard in the Big Ten by many close observers. Joe Laws, Iowa quarterback, also put in a pleasant afternoon out-running and outplaying a number of more famous rivals, including Paul Pardonner and Duane Purvis, Purdue aces.

Others among the latest All-America nominations to receive more than ordinary endorsement include Phil Sorboe. Washington State quarterback, labelled one cf the best triple threats in the Far West: Art Buss, 211 -pound Michigan State tackle, Willis Smith, Idaho back now finishing a third successive remarkable season, and Ted Rosequist, Ohio State tackle. WEST CAPITOL TO BE IDENED (Continued From Page One) Halbert explained, or the entire project will fail. Widening of the street, which Is also a federal highway route, and repaving of the entire stretch will give Jackson a boulevard adequate to accommodate the ever-growing traffic over this route. The city engineer explained that It will not be necessary to widen the street its entire length, because it is already up to the required 44-feet width in some blocks now, but owing to the irregularity cf frontage of some of the residential subdivisions which were laid out many years ago, the street width will have to be extended three or four feer in some sections.

It is in these sections that small right-of-way frontage is being asked. John B. Currie, 72, prominent Smith countian, died at a local hos- pital Monday night after an-illness of ten days.

Plenty to Talk About in Big Tilts ATLANTA, Nov. 20 Gridiron gossip among the second-guessers: Those who like their football games spiced with long runs obtained full satisfaction Saturday in many battles that saw Casey Kimbrell of Auburn break loose on several long trots against Georgia, Preacher Roberts of Tulane score on an 80 yard run against Kentucky, Perry Schultz run 68 yards against the Cadets in the Richmond-V.

Spotting Alabama a touchdown in the first minute of play, the Engineers drove into the fourth quarter with a 9 to 6 lead. Then, with victory in its grasn and the books oalling for tight defensive play, the Georgia Tech fullback attempted to further stretch his margin with a daring pass which Howell of Ala bama intercepted and starred a Crimson advance that netted the winning touchdown, 12 to 9. In September this 'writer predicted that no Southeastern team would finish the season unbeaten or untied. Auburn brought thi-; prophecy to fulfillment with it-startling 14-6 win over Georgia, And all the critics at that eamr are certain Ripper Williams of Au- burn Is the Southeast's best quar- terback. He called a near perfect game.

Tulane offered the quickest scor ing offensive of the year by coun ting two touchdowns in three minutes against Kentucky and adding another pair before the period ended.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 OTV-Tentative approval of a cotton sinners marketing agreement by Secretary Wallace 'was announced today by the farm administration. The agreement provides schedules of maximum service charges, and creates a system of state, and national control. It is designed to insure better quality of ginning equipment and handling requirements, elimination of unfair trade practices and a means for comraer-' cial ginners regulate facilities to the requirements of particular ginning communities.

The agreement, as tentatively approved, will be submitted to the ginners for signatures. It will then be returned to Secretary Wallace for final approval and for establishment of an effective date. Under the marketing agreement and license which might be issued would apply to all commercial effecting approximately 14,000 commercial dealers. Secretary Wallace, in giving his tentative agreement, noted that under its terms farmers are not represented directly -on state committees except by being members of cooperatives. The secretary said he did not believe the rate provision should be continued after 1933-34 season and called attention to the fact the agreement contained no provision for supervision by public agencies or farmers representatives over tht drawing of cotton seed samples.

C. A. Cobb, chief of the cotton production section, who directed negotiations for the agreement said, "While the current ginning seasoD has almost ended, this agreement gives to the commercial ginning industry a basis upon which to effect these changes for the next sea son." Under the agreement, the industry will organize state administrative committees, the chairmen of which will comprise a national administrative committee. The committee's decisions are subject to the approval of the secretary of agriculture. The state administrative committees would establish charges for ginning in each ginning community.

The maximum rates provided: For picked upland cotton from 25 to 30 cents per hundred-weight or seed cot cn. The maximum for tnis type as outlined in the agreement was 25 cents in Alabama, Florida, Georgia North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia; the 25 cents "in the hill regions and 30 Efts In the gulf area of Arkansas.

It specified the last provision did not prevent cooperative associations from owning their own gin.

"The agreement would prohibit cotton seed storage by the: ginners for the account of the farmer, "provided that nothing, in this section shall prevent the ginner from reselling seed to the farmer, for his personal use only at the price paid by the ginner at the time of the' purchase."
