mendous responsibility upon the
food trades of America." he said
"There is no interference with priv
ate business In this program but
there Is a great trust placed In priv
ate business by It.
"If It Is expanded upon a nation
wide basis, the farmers of this

their surplus products and thereby
aive them a greater Income with
which to buy those tilings which

Church Aims Told
By Rev. Williams
Need of a sympathetic understand'
lng of what the church Is trying to
da from a viewpoint of all ap
proaches to religion Is necessary ana
the "bunk" In religion lies with the
individual who Insists that his ap
proach Is the only possible one. Rev.
Irving Williams, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, told the Ro
tary club this noon. There are fun
damental truths underlying all ap
proaches and none are exclusive, he
declared.
The best men In the world have
a great sense of humanity. Rev. Wil
liams continued In urging the club
members to look for love In fellow
man and to assume a practical and
workable viewpoint towards the
church and its pastor.

Chicago. June 11 9J.ro "Be alive
i the fifth!"
With this slogan the National
Safety Council today launched a
campaign to cut down the Fourth oi
July accident toll. .
Last year 8J70 persons more
than twice the number killed In the

commemorates met death in July
accidents, large proportion of
them In celebration of Indepen
dence day,
"If history repeats Itself, the
Fourth of July this year will bring
a national catastrophe." the coun
cil said. "Thousands will be killed
or Injured. Children will be maim
ed for life."
The council separated the major
causes of death on Independence
day Into traftlo crashes, drownings
and fireworks, and urged tne rot
lowlnx safety rules:
1. "Use ordinary caution and
common sense In driving."
3. "Be temperate."
3. Observe the accepted safety
rules when swimming or boating.
4. parents should caution their
children not to use fireworks or
exploslves In celebration of the day.

6. Communities and states which
have not done so should pass laws
prohibiting the sale of fireworks.
British Renew
Russian Parley
Moscow. June 31 ) Armed- with
new Instructions from their govern
ments, the British and French am
bassadors visited Premier -Foreign
Minister Vyacheslaff Molotoff this
afternoon to continue negotiations
for a mutual assistance accord.
The ambassadors, Sir William
Seeds and Paul Emlle Naggtar, were
accompanied .by William Strang,
special envoy of the British foreign
office.
The Interview was arranged at
the request of the British and
French embassies.
Neither side has admitted the far
east has as yet entered into the dis
cussions. (Prime Minister Chamber
lain told parliament today the ne
gotiations were confined to Euro
pean questions.)
A Soviet communique published
this morning specifically denied
Moscow was Insisting on a guaran
tee of the Russian far eastern bor
der. . ...
The opinion held by some diplo
mats here Is that the only vital is
sue now outstanding is whether
Moscow wants to sign a pact now or
prefers to wait and see what hap
pens at Tientsin, where British and
Japanese are In dispute, and In the
free city of Danslg. Instructions
from London and Paris, Informed
quarters said, contained a compro
mise over guarantees to Soviet Rus
sia's three Baltlo neighbors, an Is
sue which has been considered the
main obstacle to an agreement.

Dr. Francis K. Townsend, president,
said today his organization did not
intend to take such action at tne
present time.
"But If we dont get what we want
that's all we could do," he added In

the effect that the possibility of
forming a new political party would
be considered at the fourth national
convention In Indianapolis this
week. Convention officials denied It,
It the necessity for a new party
arose. Dr. Townsend saia toaay, u
would probably be called the Town-
send party of California and ex-
nanded from the organisation al

He expressed hope his movement
would receive co-operation from
both the democrats and the repub

were lacking "well take the reins
away from them." If circumstances

mittee agreed to move the refugees
as soon ss Immigration quotas in
the United States and other coun
tries are open.
Just what day. the money waa taken
from the till. He said some warrants
did not have a stamp showing date
of payment, m fact. It waa brought
out that there would be no way of
showing any day of any year the
money might have been taken from
the till and the only way auditors
would have of ascertaining the mo
ney wss gone would be in attempted
balance at the end of the year and
"with the set of books that was kept
perfect cover-up could be made
by persons taking money out of the
till and something would have to be
done to cover up at the end of the
year.
No Monthly Statement
Marsh also brought out that were
would be nothing to make the man
taking the money' especially afraid
until the end of the year and that
would give the man mora tuna to
perfect a cover-up.
"If I had taken tne money it
wouldn't have been $33400," com
mented Richardson at the end of
his questioning. - -
Richardson declared that no de
mand had ever been made of him
to prepare the monthly statements
to the county court as required by
law. He said "If I had been ordered
to make such monthly statements
d have made them according to
the books.
'If you would have done that, then
why did you cover upt" asked Marsh.
I was deputy and Mr. Drager was
my superior," answered the defend
ant. "If that shortage was to be re
ported It was up to him to report It,
Duty Only to Drager
Didn't you have a pubus trust
and don't you think It was your
duty as a police officer to tell some
body?" asked Marsh.
"That's questionable," responded
the defendant. "It was my duty to
tell Mr. Drager.'
"And for 33 years you covered
up?"
"I never told en Drager and
never believed he took any of the
money," declared the defendant.
And I don't believe so now.
"You can't go two wajra on this
thing," declared Marsh to the wit
ness, "and say neither you nor Dra
ger took the money."
Yes, I can," answered Richard
son.
Marsh then recalled testimony
given by other witnesses as to con
ferences where Richardson was
purported to say that either he, or
Drager or both of them had to
take the money, that Is, the bulk
of it, it being admitted soma may
have been due to errors.
Questions Shortage
Richardson said he had no recol
lection of Including the alternative
that both of them might have
taken it.
'It has always been s question In
my mind whether there actually
has been a shortage," he said.
Marsh then produced his book In
which he kept a record of the grand
jury proceedings and questioned
Richardson as to statements pre
sumably made by him voluntarily
before the grand Jury.
Richardson said that - ha Bad
checked Drager several times to
see It he was taking any money,
that he even had counted the cash
after him more than once and he
'couldnt find where Mr. Drager
ever took a cent and I have a great
question In my mind as to whether
he ever did."
Checking Warrants
Marsh asked Richardson If tn his
checking on the shortage he'd ever
taken the trouble to check against
the warrant lists as filed In the
clerk's office by the treasurer and
also against the list kept by the
