Family Tragedy Blamed on Persecution in Czechoslovakia
In Chicago a coroner jury ruled that Adelia Langer 43 and her two sons Jan 4 1/2 and Karel Tommy 6 fell to death from the Congress Hotel window due to her temporary insanity driven by fear of being forced to leave Czechoslovakia. The husband Karl Langer 50 testified she spoke of taking her life and the children, after fleeing four weeks ago to the United States. He said he was nearly compelled to sell his million dollar textile plant to escape Hitler’s advances. The inquest noted the tragedy followed their escape from persecution and the attempts to secure a new life in America.

Court decision aids Middle Rio Grande farmers
A district court in Albuquerque upheld the legality of Middle Rio Grande conservancy assessments but ruled land cannot be sold for delinquent tax when assessments are unpaid. Judge Eugene Lujan voided delinquent tax sales for 1936 and 1937 while allowing foreclosures by lawful methods. The decision affects four counties and contrasts with a federal ruling on bond validity. It delays tax sales until December and aims to aid farmers, with foreclosure as a possible remedy. Notable entities include Valencia county treasurer Joe B. Garcia and Judge Lujan.

Pessimistic on Settlement With Mexico
Diplomatic circles voiced pessimism over a settlement to the Mexican oil controversy based on Mexico's new proposals to American oil firms. Core issue is control and management of expropriated properties valued about 150 million dollars. Observers doubt the firms would realize enough profit to recover losses, while Mexico appears committed to ownership.
