They blamed guards Francis Smith, 43, and Alfred W. Brough, 39, an told a vivid story of the anguish of the men confined in tiny punishment cells heated by steam radiators. TO TAKE ACTION Governor George H.

Earle announced that Coroner Charles H. Hersch would take "most drastic action he didnt say what against those guilty, after an Inquest Wednesday. The Governor ordered steps to prevent recurrence of Holmesburg prison conditions which he called worse than the Black Hole of Calcutta. He instructed State Troopers to Inspect all county prisons and town lockups once a week. After inspecting the prison and Its sweat box, Earle blamed the deaths on "the cruelest degenerates who ever lived.

I do not know If they wanted to murder those men, he said, "but I do know they wanted to torture them." At the homicide hearing, Di Marco, glared st the guards he blamed for releasing the steam and told of his terrifying experience as punishment for participating in a revolt against monotonous" food.

The witness said guards came In the first morning "and gave us bread and water and turned on the heat Decries Men Who Tricked the Voters By Wearing Our Insignia Boston (AP) Asserting President Roosevelts intra-party "purge efforts constituted a proper course against men who tricked the voters by wearing our insignia, Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins Tuesday night declared the administration did not Intend to be gagged or muzzled in presenting its case. In a prepared address at a conference of Democratic women from the northeastern states, Hopkins, without naming any source, said that It has been charged that reports of administrative officials "on the benefits and purposes of the (Roosevelt) program" are a way of coercing the beneflclar-, les of the program into voting for the administration.

OUT OF PLACE IN AMERICA Hopkins said it was a strange service to democracy which sought to throttle free discussion of public affairs by responsible officials, and added: The suppression of facts during a political campaign may be proper tactics for some countries, but it has no place in free America. Hopkins defended President Roosevelts intervention in primary campaigns as "really a step in the direction of responsible government. He is clearing away the cobwebs and the confusion, the administrator declared, "and making the issue plain before the voters who must pass upon it. CHARGES TRICKERY The WPA official said there were men in 1936 who did not believe In the things for which the New Deal was lighting, yet they tricked voters "by wearing our insignia, only to turn against us as soon as they got in office, xxx They fought the very heart of the program which the Democratic party has pledged to the American people that it will carry out." "But that is not all they did, he said. Even while they hacked away at the foundation of the program with one hand, they were patting the President on the back with the other, protesting to the voters that they were really good Democrats.

(By Tht Associated Press) The forces of peace and war measured their strength across Europe Tuesday with statesmen, soldiers and sailors thrown Into the scales on both sides In the greatest crisis since 1914. British Cabinet ministers Tuesday determined to make a fresh appeal to Adolf Hitler to ease his press and radio campaign against Czechoslovakia, home of 3.500,000 Sudeten Germans. The implication was that Britain almost certainly would side with Czechoslovakia if a peaceful solution were not found. PARIS INSTRUCTS AMBASSADORS Paris Instructed her ambassadors abroad, including her representative in Berlin, to remind the nations of the French pledge to fight if Czechoslovakia is made the victim of aggression. Simultaneously, the French cabinet approved a decree giving itself virtual power to mobilize Industry for war by extending hours of work.

A violent press campaign in Germany against Czech "atrocities against the Germanic minority was reminiscent of the German stories of disorder In Austria before German troops marched into that country to "preserve order last March. NAZI FLEET IN MANEUVERS With an estimated 500,000 to troops assembled in training camps and for war games, it was announced the rebuilt German war fleet was engaged maneuvers in the North Sea where Britains home fleet also was scheduled ior a "routine cruise next week.
