Scientific Enemies of Society Credited With. Some Success in Elimin ating Fingerprints. Chicago. The possibility that scientific enemies of society Lave, in some cases, succeeded in eliminating finge: prints caused speculation in law enforcing circles. Mai Cogulan, assistant state's attorney, charged stortis Lad conic to lAm that 4 'Hand- I . ! t:.e gang, had nad Lis fingtrnriniS cnar.ged ana m i:a"rl nrn hi 5 vi;r."p vr. if was visage, which rr -innisi!)',! fr.- l:is TiirkrnT-. marred I 5 nickr.ai . . to malie identification cuuicuit. Police, indited to scout the story, recalled, howi-ver. that several months ao efforts to print the tips of the fingers cf two Lz.rk robbers ar itsted near Ottawa, III., produced only 1 Finudges. They said ary successful! attack on the fingerprint, regarded j . the only iibsoluu- identification rutin cd, would be a blow to th e 'c-laborite j criminal detecting machinery built up in this country. Changing the shin of the finger tips is possible. Dr. Lecriarcie Keelar, of Northwestern university's crime detection bureau, said. "It would be a terribly painful operation," he said, "but it is possible-. The skin would proablvtliave to be taken from the body of the patient, himself. Evi dence of the operation would be plain. Liit of course the change in fingertips would be permanent and previous prints would become worth loss. Dr. Morris Fishbein, editor of the Journal of the American Medical as sociation, said altho he doubted whether such an operation had ever been performed, it would be a simple matter for a surgeon to graft skin from another pari of the body on the fingertips. "Naturally the skin would b- different than that which was there before." Dr. Fishbein said, add ing that no reputable physician would perform such an operation un less there were indication it was necessary. ... . . . . OBJECT TO REPORT D'' Moines. The federal district court clerk's office here received three objections to the receiver's report or. the Royal Union Life Insurance com pany.

CUBANS HAEE EEBT STUDY Kavar.a. The Cuban foreign debt was a matter of concern for the Grau San Martin government the first ir.g m the capital since last week s rebellion. President Grau conferred ! with Havana officials of the Chase 1 jbank. A government spokesman said j debt matters were discussed. J Finance Minister Despagne said be ifore the conference that he did not jknow whether "we can pay the De cember installment on the exterior I debt, but many things can happen before December." At army head quarters it was said that the inerior situation had quieted considerably after rebel movements in Oriente, Camagui 3-, and Santa Clara provinces and that "most of rebel bands have dispersed." CHILD ROOSEVELT PROTEGE Worcester, Mass. Little Catherine Murphy, nine year old sufferer from infantile paralysis, is going to have her chance, and all because of the interest of President Roosevelt. Tues day she leaves for Warm Springs, Ga., where she will receive treatment for three months at the same institution which cared for President Roosevelt. President Roosevelt's interest in Catherine's case began on a stormy fall day in 1932. Mr. Roosevelt was nearing the end of his campaign for election, and his itinerary allowed him only a few moments to speak as he passed thru Worcester. Among those who waited in the rain was Catherine, who wanted to speak to him because she knew he, too, had suffered from infantile paralysis. The brief interview was not forgotten, either by Mr. Roosevelt or Catherine. He finally arranged the trip which begins so hopefully Tuesday. Parleys Begun with Litvinoff on Trade Terms Claims Against the Soviet Also to Receive Official Attention Question of Terms. Washington. Discussion of trade relations between the soviet and the united States were apparently sub ordinated to claims and the proposed consular treaty as Maxim Litvinoff and governmental officials resumed conversations o naffairs left unsettled by recognition. The impression grew that the soviet commissar might leave details of negotiations for soviet pur chases in this country to Alexander A. Trovanovsky, the newly designated Russian ambassador, and the Amtorg, the official soviet trade agency. Of ficials have said, however, that trade would be among the subjects review ed before Litvinoff leaves. Litvinoff held a conference with state department officials and Wil liam C. Bullitt, who is to be the first American ambassador to Moscow. Meanwhile Bullitt talked with Act ing Secretary Morgenthau of the treasury, who has directed the in volved parleys on Russian trade deals for several months. Former Senator Brookhart, trade adviser to the farm administration, also conferred with Bullitt. Morgenthau, is well versed in other phases of Russian affairs. and Jesse H. Jones, chairman of the Reconstruction corporation, said the question of terms still remained to be settled before the consumation of any Russian deal. Among these is an offer by soviet for approximately 1 million bales of American cotton; about a billion yards of cotton c:oth, and around 30 millions worth of meat products. Jones said no understand ing was reached on this offer, despite weeks of negotiations between him self and Amtcrg officials. The Rus sians sought credit for approximately six years, but Jones Eaid he doubted that the Reconstruction corporation could grant Russian credits for more than three years. He said he had not participated in trade discussions with Litvinoff since the latter's arrival, but that he might talk with him soon. Jones added the state department might take a hand in trade discus sions since diplomatic relations had been resumed and officials at the department pointed out that private business agencies might now be will ing to extend credit to Russia. American citizens have filed claims against Russia amounting to approxi mately 400 millions, including over 5S millions in confiscated capital. SEEK THIRD HT HART CASE San Jose, Calif. On the theory that a third person might have been involved in the abduction and slay ing of Brooke Hart, son of a wealthy San Jose merchant, sheriff's officers sought to learn the identity of a man reputedly seen with Thomas H. Thurmond and John Holmes, the con fessed kidnapers, two days before they were arrested. Merrill Shaves and Wesley Shaves, father and sen, and Everett Mason, all of Campbell, near here, were ask ed by Sheriff Emig to describe as completely as possible a man they reported having seen at Campbell in company with Thurmond and Holmes on Nov. 13 and 14. Searching for the body continued in lower San Francisco bay. A pillow slip found floating in the bay apparently exploded a3 a clue, when Jackie . Coogan, former child motion picture Etar, told officers he had used such a piece of fabric to shield his face while riding in a rumble seat to Oakland to see a foot ball game. Officers said the laundry mark led them to identify the pillow slip as Coogan's. QUESTION SECTION HAND Logan, la. Charles Savery, 55, of Woodbine, was detained by Sheriff C. F. Cross, railway agents and three state agents for questioning in con nection with the dynamiting of two railway bridges last Friday. Railway officials first attributed the blast, which damaged slightly an Illinois Central and a Chicago and Northwestern bridge, to activity in connection with the farm strike. Savery, a section hand, was patrol ling the C. & N. W. tracks the night of the blast and reported it to author ities. He was taken to Council Bluffs for questioning. A knocker says there is no more to this claim about the blue eagle brinzine nrosneritr than there is about the Etork bringing the babies.

While in Omaha they visited the Joslyn Memorial and the "House of Tomorrow." After this, the seal was placed on the charter by the president.

Propose to Isolate Bad Set of Convicts Prison Within a Prison Is the Plan Evolved by 'Hard Eoiled' Warden Smith. Philadelphia. Warden Herbert Smith's answer to three months of unrest in the eastern state peniten tiary, where there have been riots and a wholesale delivery attempt, be gan to take form a prison within a prison. When it i3 completed fifty convicts will be marched in, facing detention as tho on an island, isolated from their fellow prisoners until their long terms expire. "We gave those ringleaders sev- the;eral chances, but they are the kind who always cause uprisings." said Smith. "Work has begun for tl.e segregation block and these men will be placed in it as long as I am war den. The warden known as "hard boil ed" Smith in his days, as a state po lice captain -said 400' men planned Sunday's abortive jaiibreak. Some of the prisoners made a dash for n. wall, carrying with them a makeshift lad der. But the tower riflemen saw them and other guards came rushing up. They were marksmen and the pris oners had seen them practice. The convicts dashed back from the wall. Smith described it as a long-considered plot and blamed the ring leaders who are to be segregated They are the same ones who started the bloody disturbances, last Septem ber, he said. Governor Pinchot removed Harry X. Woolman from the board of trus tees. President of that body. Wool- man had refused to resign. GRAY HEADS N. S. H. D. Omaha. Carl R.

Insure for Safety, with Duxbury & Davis REPBESEXTIXQ The Largest and Oldest Insurance Companies In America j Congress will Meet Six Weeks from This Date President Unlikely to Receive the Same Bipartisan Support He Re ceived at Special Session. Washington, Nov. 20. The 73rd congress will convene in six weeks for its first regular session with both democratic and republican quarters reporting that President Roosevelt cannot expect the same bipartisan support be received on emergency leg islation last spring. Republicans are shaping their campaign to recapture the house and as many senate seats as possible in the 1934 elections. Some democrats are voicing privately dissatisfaction with the results of the recovery legislation as well as with patronage matters. With the primary election cam paigns opening early in the spring. a number of democrats who broke campaign promises on the economy and other bills to support the admin istration say they are going to strike out for themselves. The regular ses sion convenes Jan. C. Democratic leaders hope the session will be Ehort. In reviewing the prospective legisla tive calendar, including new liquor taxes and regulation of liquor sales, revision of the entire federal rev enue structure and amendatory legis lation to the emergency program en acted last spring, they concede it may continue until midsummer. With the voting of prohibition re peal, the adminsitration has placed imposition of reasonable levies on alcoholic beverages at the top of the legislative calendar. An administra tion official said the president also was considering government mon opoly of the liquor traffic to prevent high prices being charged by distill ers and to carry out the democratic platform of protecting the dry states.

The team has been hitting a good stride in the last few games and showing some real football playing that deserves a good crowd out to enjoy their last game of the season. A EIG CHEESE" The Black & White grocery has on exhibition in the store a mam- mouth American cream cheese, weigh ing 350 pounds. This cheese was made especially for the Black & White by the Armour company and is one of the finest specimens of its kind that has been seen here. The cheese also contains souvenirs which will be secured by t:ie purchasers of the cheese when it is cut. It is a real sight to enjoy before the cheese is cut and sale started to the customers. JAIL BREAK AT BEDFORD, IOWA Bedford, la. Escape of three pris oners from the Taylor county jail here was discovered at 7 a. ni., when Sheriff Lacy made a morning check up.

PR0HASKA From Wednesday's Daily This morning the funeral of the late Ferdinand Prohaska was held from the Holy Rosary church in the west part of the city, there being a very large cumber of the old friends in attendance at the services and to pay their last tributes to the mem ory of the departed. The requiem mass was celebrated by Father J. J. Kaczmarek, pastor of , the church, who gave the blessing cf ; the church to the departed andj brought to the members of the f am- j ily words of comfort. ; The interment was in the Catholic; cemetery in the west part of the city and the pall bearers were selected from among the old time friends and neighbors. Stand on tary Training at U of N Explained Chancellor Says No Privileges at Ne braska Because of Certain Church Affiliation. "It is not the purpose of the Uni versity of Nebraska to give special privileges in the matter cf fulfill ments to students affiliated with any specific church," explained Chancel lor Burnett upon his return to Lin coln Saturday. The chancellor had previously been quoted to the effect that all Methodist men students, who compose about one-third of the uni versity men, would be automatically excused from drill on the grounds of religious scruples. "There has been no change in the policy that has been in effect for many years, he explained. lie point ed out that under regents' rules each undergraduate man in the university is required to receive military in struction during four semesters and that excuses from this requirement are granted only on the ground of conscientious scruples, physical dis ability, or other reasons equally valid. Membership in a particular church. as such is not a justifiable excuse. A new armory, if erected, would have no effect on the existing mili tary instruction except to provide better quarters. Chancellor Burnett pointed out that the thirty-six men that have been excused from military training during the past three and one-half years on the grounds of con scientious scruples represented nine different church denominations.
