TOPSFIELD, Mass., Dec. 21. (IP) The "most honest motorist" has been found by state trooper Steph en Wersoski. "How fast do you think you were going?" Wersoski asked as he pull ed alongside a speeding car. , "Seventy-one miles an hour, of ficer," replied the motorist. "I was trying to see if this car would make 80." He'll lose his license for a few days. U. S. To Give Surplus Wheat To Aid Spanish WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 (A3) Sumner Welles, acting secretary of state, announced today the surplus commodities", corporation was prepared to provide 500,000 bushels of wheat monthly for the next six months to relieve suf fering and human ' misery in tjpain. The wheat will be turned over to the American Red Cross which now is attempting to raise funds privately for processing it into flour at a rate of 100,000 barrels monthly. Drug Swindle Probe Takes Sinister Turn (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) probably used great sums to hush blackmailers. Inspector McDermott's tentative theory, calling for a reopening of the slaying of the two Brooklyn men, followed the same line. Both the Cohen brothers had known Coster-Musica in the lean days before he became a corpora tion president with a Palatial Ital ian villa in Fairfield and a 123-foot yacht. Joseph Cohen spent a year in the death house at Sing Sing as the slayer of Barnett Bagg, poultry merchant in 1914, after Coster Musica, then working as an in vestigator for the district attorney, had been instrumental in getting an affidavit from two gangsters confined in Sing Sing implicating Cohen in the case. There was some doubt, however, as to whether the truth had been told and Cohen's sentence was commuted to life mprisonment. Later , he was re leased. As a result of the affidavit Cos ter-Musica was indicted on a charge of subordination of perjury but was never brought to trial. The indictment, McDermott said, was dismissed in 1929, three years after Coster-Musica had become McKesson and Bobbins president and had hidden his criminal past. There was the possibility, the in spector said, that the Cohen broth ers, remembering Coster-Musica's part in the case, had stumbled across the fact that the dignified white-haired financier who had slipped unobtrusively into "Who's Who In America" was none other than their old acquaintance, Philip Musica, son of an immigrant Neo- politan barber. . Other Angles to Case McMahon said today there "defi nitely are other angles to this case besides those involving commercial fraud." Another crony of Coster-Musica's who knew him when he was a world-war spy-hunter was held at the federal building today on a charge of conspiracy to violate fed eral laws. The arrest of Benjamin Simon, 49-year-old Bronx salesman with a police record, gave credence to a previously reported story of an old friend who met Musica one day when he was still "F. Donald Cos ter." "Well, what are you going to do for me?" the man asked when Musica told how high he had risen since the days of the infamous human hair swindle of 1913 and the dubious dealings in alcohol during prohibition. "Why didn't you know? ' Coster replied. "This very minute you be came " and he named a post in McKesson and Robbins. Simon has' been on the corpor ation's payroll at $6,000 a year and expenses for five years. Asst. U. S. Atty. McMahon said last night: "I assume he was drawing $6,000 a year for what he knew instead of what he did." Simon himself said vaguely, he 6TH & WILLAMETTE Merry Christmas Sale Until Xmas Eve CHRISTMAS CANDY 2 lbs. 15c llullcss Fresh Roast .

What he knew, among other things, McMahon said, was that three men connected with McKesson and Robbins all hid ing behind aliases were brothers of the shrewd, Italian-born master manipulator. Before his arrest, Simon was questioned by investigators and yesterday his name was mentioned by Frederick Wingersky, Boston lawyer, and a vice-president of McKesson and Robbins, in connec tion with an uncompleted arms sale. Wingersky told a state attorney general's inquiry he drafted an arms and ammunition contract for Coster and was told. 'to give the Daoers to "Ben Simon," but the deal never was consummated. Other witnesses confirmed re ports of armament negotiations one, Thomas Amadeo Bruni, say ing an order of rifles was intended for Chinese Generalissimo Chiang-Kai-Shek, though never delivered but James J. Caffrey, regional SEC administrator, scoffed at them. It's a lot of Ballyhoo over noth ing," he said. Furtherance of the investigation disclosed, McMahon said, that the Musicas' ill-gotten gains are most ly gone." It was supposed that the 1929 crash stripped Coster and it was estimated that, in the first place, he and his brothers took little more than $3,000,000 from the pirated firm in 10 years. Say Business Sound Officers and directors of the firm hastened to tell the state attorney general yesterday the firm's exist ing assets seem intact and its busi ness sound. The $18,000,000 in fictitious as sets uncovered in the crude drugs department controlled by Coster do not and never did exist, Caffrey said his investigation indicated at this stage. The possibility Coster himself might prove that statement true in posthumous confession was indi cated when Samuel Reich, Bridge port (Conn.) attorney and U. S. commissioner, disclosed that the unmasked magnate left a suicide note. Federal officials indicated also the surviving Musica brothers Arthur (George Verard), George (Dietrich) and Robert (Dietrich) were "talking" at last, while fur ther questioning of Benjamin Simon was scheduled. He was ar rested last night at his Bronx apartment, where he lived with his wife and two children. ernor-elect Sprague and any ef fort Holman chose to make to secure a definite commitment from the republican governor- elect would have the threat of his permitting' a democrat to succeed him giving point to his argument. But Sprague so far has consistently refused to make commitments on any appoint ment. ' Another sticker in the prob lem is the fact that Holman has mentioned that he is sacrificing hopes for advantageous commit tee appointments by staying in Oregon and republican leaders realize', that if Holman should decide his wishes were not to be followed, he might quit now and allow a democrat on the state board of control. In order to riddle this par ticular phase of Holman's position, state republicans have called in Senator McNary,. now in Wash ington, and asked him to ar range Holman's appointments for him. Senator McNary, as minority leader in the senate, could re serve any appointments Holman might wish, as McNary appoints the republican committee on com mittees. Thus, Holman could stay in Oregon so that a re- publican could be assured the post and still sacrifice nothing in the way of choice committee jobs in Washington. Siuslaw Officials Look To Future In New Projects Siuslaw officials are looking to the future for new projects, ac cording to a report given out from that office Wednesday. In the north end of the Siuslaw forest district," at Mount Hebo, 25 CCC workers. are now employed in pruning-the lower branches of & crop of trees, planted for future use.
