Communists the world dter held their annual May day demonstrations today, using the occasion to show growth and strength of their movement, and as a protest against particularly widespread unemployment conditions. In most of the countries of the world the police, and In some casea the military, took precautionary measures intended to keep the demonstrations within bounds and to prevent disorders.

In some countries, such as France, (iermany, Greece and Poland, such measures were extreme and involved intensive mobilisation of the constabulary, arrests of agitators, and In some cases their expulsion from the country. In other countries, notably Great Britain and Italy, the authorities considered the occasion as not much out ot the ordinary. This was particularly the rase In Italy, where the Fascist party has stifled political opposition. Spanish-America celebrated the day as a holiday, and an occasion tor merrymaking.

Retired Banker Falls Twelve Floors to Death NEW YORK, May 1. (if) Louis Kramer, 69, a retired banker, was killed In a fall today from a window on the twelfth floor of a fashionable apartment house in Park avenue. Detectives who investigated said they believed Kramer became dizzy while standing at an open window and fell. It was some time before his body, which fell Into a rear couxtyardj could be Identified The Howey coalition committee of the Florida republican party announced today In a formal statement that "results of the party executive committee meeting yesterday gave every Indication that the negro element In the party hud gone over completely to Glenn R. Skipper and his forces." "As evidence ot this," the statement said, "we point to the flection of John Walters of Volusia county ns tho chairman ot the meeting." It was said that Mr.

Walters had previously stated that there were In excess of 1,200 registered negro voters In Volusia county and that they would vote In the primary In that county. The coalition committee had prepared a resolution aaklng that the county commissioners in each coun ty order that the republican primary be abducted exactly as that heretofore conducted by the democratic party. They contend that the primary law was passed by a democratic legislature and that the democrats are In control of all election machinery in the state and that in suggesting this resolution, the republicans would be expressing' their willingness to comply with every existing law. Prevented Introduction "The failure of the executive committee to pass the resolution accepting Skiper's resignation pre vented the introduction ot the resolution regarding the conduct ot the primary. This resolution was so worded that its passage and its acceptance by the various county commissions would have resulted In a white republican primary." The statement stated further that "two women who had voted with the Skipper adherents to kill the resignation resolution came to the meeting ot the coalition committee later and said tbey desired to change, their affiliation because Skipper did not rise to answer the affidavits In the meeting." The long struggle lor control ot the republican party will be carried Into the June primaries.

The wing, led by William J. Howey, defeated in yester-day'a attempt to force the resignation of Glenn B. Skipper as national committeeman, planned to take its fight Intp.tbe primary, and endeavor to capture the state committee. Narrow Margin Likewise, the adherents of Skipper, who won yesterday's victory by the margin of 22 to 18, were understood to be preparing a slate of committee candidates. Because Howey, as the republican candidate for governor in the last general election polled more than 30 per cent of the total vote, Florida law requires the republican party to enter the primary for the first time since reconstruction days.

The Howey wing brought In the resignation resolution to pave the way toward having the office of national committeeman placed on the primary ballot in June, but the latter -proposal was killed by de feat of the ouster move. Skipper resigned his post last March at Lakeland but later wun-drew his resignation asserting the Howey faction violated the provisions of an agreement, declaring that the resignation was binding, the Howey forces sought to have the committee accept it. Bitterness Evidenced Bitterness was evidenced when the committee, in open session, wrangled over charges that Skipper had accepted money for political favors. The coalition wing brought Into the meeting an affidavit signed by Howey and seven of his leaders, including A. F.

Knotts, former chairman of the state central committee. Read by Mrs. Lillian C. Crlch-lowe Bradenton, the affidavit stated that E. E.

Callaway, recently resigned as central commtttee chairman had made the charges before the group at the Lakeland meeting in March. The paper alleged that Callaway (Continued on Page Nine.)
