Jule Rachman
Asks Sentence
be Commuted
Former Omaha Theater Man Serv
ing Fifteen Years for the
Deaths of Two.
N. T. Harmon, state probation of
ficer, said the plea of Jule Rachman,
former Omaha theater man, for com
mutation of his fifteen year sentence
for the death of Harry and Sam
Goldberg brothers in December
1932, after he and his father had
business differences with them.
Among those who have filed let
ters requesting Rachman's release
are three Omaha city commissioners,
Harry Trustin, Harry Knudsen and
John Hopkins; former Congressman
Malcolm Baldrige and George W
Allen, former Omaha police chief.
John Riddell, York county attor
ney; Foster May, Lincoln radio an
nouncer, and Eugene Levy, Dan Han-
ey and Roy Miltonberger, all of Lin
coln, are among others favoring
clemency.
Among Omahans who have writ
ten letters in behalf of Rachman are
George S. West, Frederick Cohn, the
Rev. A. J. Burkhardt, T. F. Murphy,
Bert Murphy, J. E. Kirk, H. B. Zelen,
Harry D. White, William F. Baxter,
Henry Monsky, Fred G. Meyer, Lee
L. Hanlin, Henry Greenberg, F. H.
Hansen, William Young and Eugene
Blazer.
Harmon said he did not believe
any objections had been filed yet
against Rachman's application. Ob
jections generally are not filed, how
ever, until the pardon board defin
itely sets a case for hearing and ad
vertises it as required by state law.
SEEK AMERICANS' STATUS
Washington. The state depart
ment said it would apply strong pres
sure on Germany to ascertain the
status of two Americans held in Ger
man jails for several months on open
charges. The Americans are Isabel
Calif., who has been held near Berlin
on suspected espionage since Au
10, and Richard Roiderer of Chi
cago, held at .Linaau, uermany, since
June 22, for unannounced reasons
Miss Steele s arrest by secret po
lice came to the department's atten
tion on Oct. 10 when Senator Borah,
(r., Ida.), requested information on
behalf of her brother, Arthur Steele
of Nampa, Ida. Her mother is un
derstood to be in Germany. Roiderer,
a German born naturalized Ameri
can, had resided in Munich for about
two years. He was arrested while
seeking to cross into Switzerland
and held for suspected violation of
the currency regulations, altho it
was understood the charge against
him was much more serious. Amer
ican consuls in Munich and uernn
pursued the case thruout July, but
have been unable to get action, of
ficials said. The Roiderer case has
been referred to the people's court of
the department of justice in Berlin
NRA CLAIMS COURT FAVOR
Washington. NRA says court de
cisions on the recovery law are run
ning 90 percent favorable. Within
the past six weeks, NRA's litiga
tion division appeared as counsel in
seventy-three federal court actions
NRA said all but six decisions were
favorable to the government.
From the date of creation of the
litigation division last March 26,
NRA said it had docketed 663 cases
It said 199 cases had been closed and
129 court decisions obtained, all but
ten of which upheld the govern
ment's position. At present, the di
vision is appearonig for the prosecu
tion in 100 pending cases and aid
ing the defense in eleven suits
against enforcement agencies. "As
to the lumoer code price fixing
cases, it said, the government and
the defense have scored about even.
The only question raised in Tennessee
and Mississippi was 'Whether the re
covery act provided for price fixing
The power of congress to fix prices
was not challenged nor the constitu
tionality of the recovery act itself."
POLICE RECORD DEFENDED
Kansas City. A statement that
the Kansas City police denartiuf nt
has aggressively hunted the gang
sters responsible for the union sta-
ion killings last year was issued by
Otto P. Hissings, director of nolice.
in answer to criticism of a federal
grand jury.
"My investigation has developed
that at least fifty men from the de
tective department were detailed tc
the case and worked ceaselessly day
and night to establish the identity of
the killers and to effect their annre-
hension," Higgins said.
"See it before you buy it."

Home from the East.
Mrs. Bess Street Aldrlch, who has
been in the east for the past nearly
two weeks where she had been ad
vertising the works of D. Appleton
Washington. Some improve-ment
in thu world wheat situation is noted
in the annual agricultural outlook
for 1935 issued by the agricultural
bureau of economics. "Unless aban
donment is heavy and yields are
again below average next year," the
bureau said, "the new crop will pro
vide an export surplus, and it is to
be expected prices In the United
States may be but a little above an
export basis during mofat of the
1935-C6 season."
The bureau reported that since
the spring of 1933 wheat prices in
the United States have been main
tained at "unusually high levels
relative to world prices."
It was explained this has been
largely the rcfiult of two sucsf;ive
years of low production due to poor
yields and heavy abandonment of
wheat in the United States, altho
acreage reduction and the removal
of surplus wheat from the Pacific
northwest thru governmental aid
have also tended to increase Unitcl
States prices relative to world price.;.
