Both Senators later apologized for

Representative Rogers, Republican,
Massachusetts, commented to re-
porters that in refusing to change
the vessel’s route, the Administra-
tion showed that it preferred that
the ship be “blown up by the Ger-
mans rather than the British.”
“The only possible reason for not
changing her course,” she said, “it

at the State Department it was said

On the basis of unofficial calcu-

have passed through the “danger

In that moment the case of Chino
Drake seemed clear.

asked.

After the League, refreshments wer

Mexico City, Aug. 20.—Leon Trot-
sky, former Russian war chieftian
now an exile in Mexcio, was attacked
with a pick-ax in the office of his
residence in nearby Coyoacan late
today.
Police and Trotsky’s associates de-
clined details, nor would they name
the assailant.
Trotsky only recently escaped un-
harmed in a machine gun attack on
his house in which about 20 persons
have been arrested. He blamed the
attack on the OGPU, the Russian
secert police, because of Trotsky’s
attack on Josef Stalin, the Russian
dictator.
As pieced together from unofficial
versions, the story of the attack fgl-^
lows:
Trotsky and the acquaintance—re-
garded as a friend—were chatting in
Trotsky’s office alone when suddenly
there 'was a cry for help /from
Trotsky. J
_ One of Trotsky’s bodyguards dash-
ed in and found the visitor raining
blows on the Russian’s head with
small pick, about 12 inches from
to tip. The bodyguard disarmed
assailant and attacked him.
Trotsky and the assailant were
taken to the police hospital where
patrolmen, armed ’ with tear-gas
rifles, stood before a heavy iron gate
to keep the crowd away. Police offi-
cials said they could not discuss the
case immediately.
Trotsky, one authorized source
said, is in “very serious condition.”
