Hitler Reported
Cold To French
PeaceAttempts
Reichfuehrer Declares His
Resolution To Maintain
Present Neutrality Stand
BERLIN, Oct. 25. - (A') - Germany
has presented a cold front to unoffi-
cial French efforts toward a Franco-
German rapprochment, informed
sources said today.
New manifestations of Germany's
spirit of nationalism, fed on the
speeches of Reichsfuehrer Hitler, ac-
companied a report that a French
journalist had met failure in trying
to draw out Hitler on questions cur-
rent to the continental situation and
the Italo-Ethiopian war.
Der Fuehrer stated recently at
Nurnberg, "we take no position on
these events and do not want to be
drawn into them." He has pictured
Germany as a placid island in a sea
of turmoil.
Tacit announcement that Germany
would continue to pursue a strict neu-
tral policy was coupled with a flat
denial by the office, Qf Joachim von
Ribbentrop, Germany's ambassador
extraordinary, that he would visit
Paris soon.
A representative of the foreign of-
fice made it clear, at the same time,
that Germany would take its own
time in replying to the League of
Nations' communication regarding
sanctions against Italy, if indeed a
reply was made at all.

Boxer Suspect
Holds Silence
At Questioning
SEATTLE, Oct. 25.-(AP) -Defiant
and close-lipped, Leo H-all, 33, resist-
ed questioning today about the mass
murder mystery of Erland's Point in
March, 1934, when six persons were
robbed and slain.
Authorities said he had been imp-
licated in the crime by the confes-
sion of a woman.
Sheriff William B. Severyns said
Mrs. Larry Poulos, 28-year-old beer
parlor waitress, had signed a confes-
sion accusing the former boxer and
dry dock worker of the massacre.
The alleged confession said Mrs.'
Poulos and Hall, masked and wear-
ing gloves, entered the Frank Flieder
home during a gay party in quest of
"easy money," and after the six
people in the house were robbed the
victims were killed so "they couldn't
talk."
Through the night of questioning,
Hall maintained his stoical attitude.
"Hall seems to have a lot on his
LANSING, Oct. 25.- ()- Gov.I
Fitzgerald issued a statewide appealj
to local governments today for wel-
fare relief funds.
He telegraphed . the state's 83
county boards of supervisors to urge
that they "appropriate funds for
emergency relief purposes to the best
of their ability and resources," in
order to "avoid a crisis in relief
financing this winter and next
spring."
At the same time Gov. Fitzgerald
notified the boards that he intends
to retain the present emergency relief
administration in order to avoid en-
tanglements with federal officials al-
locating relief funds.
"In view of the necessity for close
cooperation with the federal relief
.4gencies, I am contemplating no!
change in the administration's ma-
chinery for the distribution of relief
funds," the governor's telegrams read.
"This will remain under the dire.-
tion of the state emergency relief
commission and its local units. I am
hopeful of your cooperation."
As the governor sought additional
finances from local units, Dr. Wililam
Haber, emergency relief director, tele-
graphed to the Federal Emergency
Relief administration a request for
$3,000,000 with which to meet Mich-
igan's welfare needs for November.
The amount is the samne asked fors
the present mcnth, when federal au-
thorities granted $2,750,000,
mind," said Detective Captain Ernest
Yoris of the Seattle homicide squad.
"We have a lot of corroborative evi-I
dence for Mrs. Poulos' statement."
