COMPLICATIONS POSSIBLE Latest Development In U.S. Nazi Spy Case

Important Reich Officials May Be Named

New York, To-day. It was learned to-day that indictments against twenty persons, suspected of participation in German espionage in the United States, have been prepared for the Federal Grand Jury. Although the Grand Jury will vote on the indict- ments to-day, they are not expected to be pub- lished until later on in the week.

Under the sub-title "Jury To Indict Hitler Aides," the New York "Post" reports that indict- ments in the espionage ring case actually name many prominent officials of the German Government. These officials will be charged with aiding, directing and financing espionage activities throughout the United States.

BATTLE AT OPIUM MEETING

Geneva, To-day.

A lively exchange between the Japanese and Chinese delegates occurred

at a meeting of the League's Advisory Committee on Opium Traffic at Geneva.

The discussion centred around a. proposal by the Turkish dele- gate that in order to prepare the ground for a conference to limit the cultivation of the opium poppy, a conference of the opium producing countries should first be called to fix minimum prices.

Mr. Amau, the Japanese delegate, said if such a conference should be called, Manchukuo, which is also a producing country, must be in- vited.
