These at tacks I have hitherto endeavored to ignore, feeling that my ulti mate vindication of these charge. would be a complete answer. Thi. vindication I received at th hands of the regularly constituted judicial establishment of my coun try In the shape of the verdicts o: two Juries. "Mr. ftockf feller Jr.. now ha brought the fight to nie througli our stockholders and the challenge must he accepted.

I have in my 'ossession a statement signed by very member of the jury directly stating that no technicalities were considered, and that upon the first iiallot and even before a ballot was taken they were unanimous 'y of the opinion that the charge of perjury was false, and intended heir verdict as a complete vindi cation." Regarding Mr. Rockefeller's re luest several months ago that he resign. Col.

The year ending, be said, would ?rove the most prosperous In the ompany's history, adding "this record Is fair evidence that my as sociates and fellow employes, and our customers in the rieia we serye. have the confidence in this compan's management which, I re- zret to say.

So when announcement is made that his brother-in-law, capitaliz ing the relationship, is the most widely advertised clown in a French winter circus, you can't blame him for fuming. And when he hears tflat his son. Prince August Wilhelm, is involv ed in a financial scandal and is looked upon as the prize easy mark of Kurope I they would call him "sap" in America), he jusi fumes some more.

One Appropriation Hill Probable In line with Governor Patter son's economy program it was pointed out here Saturday that .i saving of between $5(M and $100 could be made during the session by including .ill appropriations for state activities- in one appro priation bill. At previous sessions of the legislature each appropria tion was considered as a separa'e measure. At the session there were more than 25 separate appropria tion bills covering items of the various state activities. It wa. argued by officials that these could have been included in one bill and thereby saed some pages of printing ill the 1S2T laws, many pages in the journal record, an elimination of additional printing necessary with the printed bills. In addition to these savings i ousidei ;.hlc , time would have been -saved in rollcalls and the reading of measures before tht I respective branches of the legisla lure.
