Second of . Major , Delays
in lrial wrought on
by
Checks
The .theory of the defense to
be made ' on ' behalf of ; W. ,T.
York", Richardaon wai bared
by bis attorney. Edwin Keech,
late yesterday afternoon as the
trial of the 75-year old former
deputy Marion county treasurer
on a chars of larceny of public
money progressed throurb. its
fourth day. .
Beginning ; his cross-examina
tion of Floyd K. Bowe s, state
auditor who had been on Jhe
stand most of the time since
Tuesday afternoon. Keech sought
to show that Richardson had re
peatedly maintained that every
time he issued a check on tbe
county bank account for his per
sonal business he put - money rn
the treasurer's till to eorerf tbe
sum checked out. tar-
Keech Indicated his rrinclpal
contentions would be that Rich
ardson had thereby actually tak
en no county money and that
others than Richardson had
checked .out large sums that
might aeeount for the It.iieui
sum with whose larceny Rich

indictment - -rif-. -i z:i:. .
The defense lawyer's initial ef-.
forts to work out his contentions
by the Bowers cross-examination
brought on the second of two
major delays the triil encoun
tered during the day. .
The first delay arose at the
forenoon session when Keech ob
jected to an attempt by Francis E.
Harsh,, assistant attorney gener
al and - prosecutor, to introduce
: Richardson's own personal papers,
canceled checks, check stubs and
other private - records, found in
the treasurer's vault, to substan
tiate Auditor Bowers' computa
tions of yearly personal expendi
tures allegedly made by the form
er deputy. - '
The Richardson Tecords were
admitted at the afternoon ses
sion, however, and the trial pro
ceeded until Keech began cross
questioning Bowers and Inquiring
as to county checks Issued by
Treasurer Drager. '
Producing a handful of Marlon
county bank checks from among
the state's many documentary
items, Keech questioned:
"Did Mr. Drager issue some of
these checks!"
Yes."
Marsh broke in to state be
wanted "the record to show that,
as to these checks we are. handing

are personal business." .
Asked if Records '
Rrannnl ah Checks '
"Did yon cheek county records
; as to. whether or not any of these
check, were used for couhty busi
ness?" Keech then asked the aud
itors v;.--- : &
Again rising. Marsh suggested
"In fairness to Mr. Drager, who is
not'on trial here, that he. is the
man who is supposed to testify

his own personal knowledge.

HALIFAX, N. 8., June 16.-(ff)
With King George saluting from
the bridge and Queen Elizabeth
standing on a stool and waving
in excitement to a crowd of 160,-

brilliantly white Empress of
Britain sailed for England to
night, bringing to an end the
epochal tour of the first British
sovereign to visit America,
Not tall enough tor much of
her figure to show above the rail
ing. Queen Elisabeth yielded to
cries from the crowds to stand up
higher, as the majestic steamer
was about to sail, and mounted a
stool brought by an officer. ...
i She ttas . "stole the show" of
the last moments of their stay In
Canada, as she had attracted at
tention throughout their 0.000-
mile railway and motor tour o
the Pacific and to the United
States.
The king stood erect at her side,
bis face alternately serious and
wreathed in smiles, as the crowd
cheered and sang such songs as
Auld Lang Syne," "God Save the
King," and "Tlpperary."
Earlier he and the queen had
broadcast to the British empire
and to the United States a fare
well message expressing their
comfort and Inspiration" at the
peace In this part of the world
and their gratitude for their re
ception throughout the tour.-
The final hours of their 80-day
stay In America were spent in
touring this ancient gateway to
Canada and in witnessing a page
ant showing the bestowal of a roy
al charter on Nova Scotia 114
years ago.
Except for a stop of a few
hours at St. John's, Newfoundland,
on Saturday, the king and queen
will sail straight for home and a

Before House
Objections Are Raised

Farm Bloc Seeks Greater
Funds for FSA; Ickes
Attacks Bill
WASHINGTON, June IS-P)-Strenuous
efforts were in progress
today to increase the relief appro
priation provided in the new $1,
716,000,000 bill and to relax some
of the rigid restrictions It imposes
upon the expenditure of the
money.
While house debate wore word
ily on, with few listening and
many waiting to speak, some 40
members from the more populous
states met In the office of Chair
man Sabath (D-Ill) of the rules
committee to organize their oppo
sition to specific provisions of the
measure.
In particular they objected to a
limitation of 125,000 on WPA
building construction projects, and
to a proposal that $125,000,000 of
the appropriation be transferred
from WPA to the Public Works
Administration. In addition, they
prepared to seek an increase in
the appropriation for the National
Youth Administration. The bill
contains $81,000,000 for this pur
pose, although the administration
asked $123,000,000.
Farm Security
Increase Bought
Thirty farm-bloc members of
the house organized for an effort
to raise the proposed $121,000,000
outlay for the farm security ad
ministration to at least $150,000,
000. This group, in addition, de
cided to request funds for a 'con
tinuation of the dust bowl shelter
belt, a gigantio tree-planting pro
ject, for which congress has twice
refused to appropriate.
- Downtown, meanwhile, WPA
Administrator " F. C. Harrington
declared, that the bill's provision
to set up a three-man board to
administer WPA waa a "mistake."
"Ton can get better results with
one man," he told reporters. "It
this man does not make proper
decisions he should be kicked out
and someone else given the job."
Both Harrington and Secretary
Ickes, head of the public works
administration, spoke out against
some of the 'bill's restrictive pro
visions, provisions which Repre
sentative W o o d r u m (D-Va.) ,
speaking for the appropriations
committee, told the house would
"dress up and clean up" the ad
ministration of relief.
Ickes objected particularly to
a clause which would forbid any
future use of PWA funds to build
industrial plants in competition
with existing private enterprises.
This section, he asserted, strikes
directly at the PWA power de
velopment program. Under that
program, $253,000,000 of power
plants have been constructed since
1933. Applications tor additional
building totalling $50,000,000 are
pending.
Ickes Holds Bill
Dictates to Cities
Ickes said the restriction "dic
tates to municipalities what they
should and should not apply for
and, in that, it distinctly traverses
the democratic principles of gov
ernment" Harrington said some provi
sions of the bill were "going to
be awfully tough to administer."
He called upon President Roose
velt, accompanied by Aubrey Wil
liams, administrator of the na
tional youth administration, to ex
press concern, it was reported, at
the near exhaustion of funds, and
to urge speed in congressional
action on the bOL

Five key ministers of the cab

where a blockade of British and

An authoritative source Indi

are: Reorganization of foreign
concession administration to give
Chinese of the Japanese-sponsored
Tientsin government greater au
thority; a financial policy by
which British banks would facili
tate circulation of Japanese fed
