23--W)--Mlb. Frances Robinson, 23, entered a formal plea of not guilty today to the kidnaping of Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, and tentative plans were made to try her in federal court here Oct. 29 The federal district courtroom was crowded. Many women were among the spectators.

United States District Attorney Thomas Sparks told the court he would like to start the trial on that date if he could bring Thomas H. Robinson, sr, here, to try him at the same time, without waiting for capture of the younger Robinson, now a widely sought fugitive. "I am in sympathy with Mr. Sparks in having as quick a trial as possible," said Clem W. Huggms, the woman's counsel.

Sparks said he understood a hearing would be held in Nashville Friday on the capias sent there to remove the elder Robinson to Louisville for trial. He is free on $25,000 bond and has indicated he will resist removal. Mis. Robinson who returned to Louisville with Mrs. Stoll after she had been released on payment of $50,000 ransom, showed less of a downcast air after arrival in court today.

The young woman, who under the terms of the indictment faces along with her husband and his father the possiblity of a death sentence, wore the same clothes as when arrested. Her counsel made no ellort to reduce her $50,000 bond and she was to Jefferson county jail Commission Decides it Made a Mistake in Previous Action. A I i Two weeks ago the city commission of Ironwood voted to instruct the Iionwood Woman's club to grant the Ironwood Business Professional Women's club use of the Woman's club rooms in the Memorial building one night a week. Last night, aftei a formal protest by the Iionwood Woman's club, represented at the meeting by ita officers and past presidents, the commission voted to rescind it; former action, the action being based on the legal status of the club in the building. The clubs protest, presented by Mrs.

Joseph Kangery, president, outlined the history of how the organization was given rooms in the Memorial building. The first move to obtain a Memorial building was made in 1919 Several years the membership of the Woman club then over 400, "worked tirelessly on the project" and worked to have the building approved by the voters, it was pointed out. An opinion given by the late H. Norns former city attorney, on June 22, 1923, was cited in cuppoit of the club's protest and its contention that it has exclusive right to the use of the clubrooms. Ruling 8s Cited In the Norns' ruling it was pointed out that: "The public acts of the state of Michigan, 1919, make provision for cities erecting a memorial to tnp soldiers and sailors, etc, providing that it shall be under the control of the city, etc.

It was in consequence of the power so vested in this city that the Legion quarta were added to the Municipal and Memorial building and so that the bonds that were voted by the people and issued for the building were voted as Municipal and Memorial building bonds So that every feature connected with the Municipal and Memorial building Indicates that it was to be erected, maintained and supported for the specific purposes for which quarters are set off in that building, both as to city officials, Legion, Woman's club, etc. for the use of the public." The concluding paragraph of the opinion reads: "In view of the above, I advise you that the city cannot part any way with its control over the Municipal and Memorial building or any part of it. The city can, hov- ever, allow the use of any part ot the building outside of the Legion quarters the Woman's club rooms, city officials' rooms, municipal court rooms, and council chambers, for temporary use, but must in ery detail retain supervision and control over every part of the building Cloon Gives Opinion Asked for a ruling on the question, Citv Attorney William G. Cloon declared that, if the bonds for the building were issued on that basis (the premise cited in the Norris opinion) the action of the city commission at its last meeting was illegal. Commissioner H.

Wick, who made the motion at the last meeting to grant the use of the Woman's club rooms to the Business Professional Women's club, was not present last night. A statement by Commissioner Ai- vin L. Hummel that the commission would be "acting like a jellyfish" if it rescinded its action of the last meeting met with the response of a woman's club member that it seems to me that was your action at the last meeting Mrs. Hopkins, a past pres- (Contlnuea on page two.)

Assistant District Attorney Harold W. Hastings at once notified Governor Lehman of New York of the action so that he may arrange with the state department for extradition of Poderjay, now being held in Vienna. The indictment was filed with General Sessions Judge Otto A. Rosalsky and was based on the same evidence which resulted in a perjury indictment being brought against Podeijay some time ago. Poderjay, dashing Jugslav soldier of fortune, is charged with having married Miss Tufverson December 4, 1933, when he ahcady was married to Marguerite Suzanne Ferrand.

Assistant District Attorney Vincent R.

SOUGHT NO RECORDS BULLETINS Cadijs, Oct. 23--(IP)--The Piccard stratosphere balloon landed at the Pike Peak School house west of here. Piccard landed in a parachute. Cadiz, Oct. 23--(jPr-The Piccard stratosphere balloon was reported to have made a landing about one mile wist of here.

The reported place was an isolated Reports were that the bag and gondola landed on the John Hanfteld farm, about 4 and one- half miles west of Cadiz. It was impossible to learn details immediately because the telephone operators said all of the farm people of the region did not answer their phones, presumably having rushed to the scene of the landing. The balloon landed, according to the reports available, a few minutes before 3 p. (eastern standard time) about eight hours after the takeoff at Detroit. Detroit, Oct.

23-- (If) Veering southward, the stratospheric balloon In which Dr. Jean and Mrs. Jeannette Piccard are making observations of the cosmic rays, was sighted over Akron, about 1 today, at an altitude of about 40,000 feet. The report, received Irom the Akron airport, said the balloon was drifting in a southeasterly direction at a speed of about 15 miles an hour. It was sighted from an airplane.

At noon, it had been seen over Cleveland, and fellow birdmen who sighted it said that apparently all was well with the husband and wife crew. Up 40,000 Feet lou Gravis, a United Air Lines pilot who sighted the huge silvery bag over Cleveland, said its altitude was "very high," and Edward J. Hill, chief of the ground crew here, said he believed the Plccards were up 40,000 feet or more. Gravis saw the Balloon at 11 a. m.

(Eastern standard time). At 10:10 a. an American Airlines pilot, L. Stephans, reported sighting the stratospheric fliers between Sandusky and Loram, Ohio, which meant they had completed tho hazardous flight across Lake Erie. Stephans estimated their altitude then at about 30,000 feet.

If their balloon should fall them, as did the craft of three army bal- loomsts on a similar flight last summer from South Dakota, the Piccards are ready to bail out witn parachutes, but they hope to bring their cargo of valuable instruments and their records to earth safely, Acts as Parachute This balloon has a permanent opening in the bottom which will permit air to enter as the hydrogen escapes on the descent, thus acting in Itself as a giant parachute. The Piccards a i no thoughts of altitude records in their plans, projecting the flight solely as an expedition to study the cosmic rays, a suspected source of unlimited energy, which can be studied best at high altitudes.

PWA Disapproves Loan to Finance Project Between Two Cities. Washington, Oct.

23 spokesman for the public works administration said today the board of review and all three examining divisions of PWA had recommended disapproval of a loan to finance the proposed tunnel between Dul- utli, and Superior, Wis. The informant said it was the opinion of all examining divisions that net revenues in tolls would not be sulficient during the life of the loan to amortize the debt. The application, which originally requested $3,700,000 was, recently revised to $3,450,000, but the PWA experts believed the loan not sufficiently secured, the spokesman said. The examining divisions were the financial, engineering and legal The recommendation that the application be rejected is now in the hands of Secretary Ickes, PWA administrator, but has not been disapproved finally." The informant indicated, however, that the recommendation was tantamount to rejection. Representatives of both cities appealed to the review board at a recent hearing, for approval of the loan, contending that the tunnel would pay for itseli within a reasonable length of time Asked if the PWA might be receptive to a second revision of tha application, the informant said he did not think so but believed die project was as "dead as a dodo" so far as PWA was concerned.

Parmentier and J. J. Moll, with five persons in their big (Douglas) transport plane, were hours ahead of their nearest rivals, Col. Roscoe Turner and Clyde Pangooin, at midnight. Then they became lost in rainstorms which were sweeping over the high uplands north of the Australian Alps.

Then came the best news heard here since cheering throngs greeted the English victors--Parmentier and Moll had landed safely it Albury, i about 200 miles northeast of the finish line With the speed of then- ship, they were only an hour from the home port Wait for Daylight They landed there at 1:20 a. m. today (10:20 a. m.
