GERMAN DEPUTY
TO BE DEPORTED
NEW YORK, June 4 (TP)—Amer
ican Liberals reported today that the
former German Reichstag Commun
ist Deputy, Arthur Ewert, is about to
be deported from Brazil to Berlin.
The American joint committee for
defense of the Brazilian people said
their information was cabled from
their London correspondent.
Arthur Ewert and his wife, Elise,
fled from Germany when Hitler came
to power. The Ewerts were arrested
in Rio De Janeiro after the rise of
the Vargas government. They have
been held in prison ever since.
The joint committee fears that if
Ewert and his wife are deported to
Germany that the couple will merely
exchange cne jail for another. They
said they will intercede at Washing
ton in an attempt to forestall the
deportation.
PARALYSIS STRIKES
ANOTHER ARMOUR
CHICAGO, June 4 (TP). —Health
officials revealed today that another

cousin of Philip Armour the fourth,
who was stricken last Friday. Both
boys were students at St. Marks prep
aratory school in Southboro, Mass.
The school was placed under quaran
tine two weeks ago after an outbreak
of the disease.
The director of the Illinois health
department, Dr. Frank Jirka, said
the two Armour homes are under
quarantine. Physicians reported the
Armour boys are “slowly recover
ing.”
“BIGNESS IN BUSINESS”
SEEN RECOVERY BLOCK
NEW YORK, June 4 (TP) —The
Columbia university marketing profes
sor, Dr. Paul H. Hystrom, warned to
day that political attacks against
"bigness in business” will retard re
covery.
Speaking before a meeting of rep
resentatives of buyers’ offices, Dr.
Nystrom said legislation aimed at
huge corporations merely because they
are huge would only cause a raid on
the consumers’ pocketbook.
Nystrom labeled the Robinson-Pat
man bill now pending in congress as
a “direct attempt to handicap and
restrict large scale retail distributive
operations by the device of limiting
quantty prices. Ths bill, if it works at
all, is almost certain to raise prices
to consumers.”

ATLANTA, June 4 (TP)—When 22-

mits that he shot and killed Leddus
Arnold. However, he disclaims any
knowledge of the series of shootings
that followed Arnold’s death. While
riot squats patrolled the streets look
ing for Bloodworth, new shots rang
out every night. Several persons
were wounded and all the shootings
were attributed to Bloodworth.
This week he was convicted of mur
der and is now beginning to serve a
life term. However, he proved to the
satisfaction of the court that he went
to Birmingham the cay after shoot

apprehended. Now, police have de-
