Banks Is serving a life sentence for second degree murder conviction, his wife was acquitted and the charge against Fleming was dismissed.

Many Burglaries Charges of burglary not In a dwell ing numbered 31. Of this number 22 were indicted for the court house ballot thefts. John Glenn, former county Jailer, was acquitted.

His remarks were contained In a speech, prepared for delivery today before a luncheon meeting of the Manufacturers and Bankers club of Philadelphia. Cash More Economical. "Let us meet the matter squarely on a basis of direct cash aid for the unemployed," he said. "It will cost only one-half as much to states and nation as we pay In the public works program. It will also give to those unavoidably unemployed a sense of security which they lack now. when they can look forward only to spas modic employment on specific public projects." The chief point of his speech was a plea for a balanced budget. "If we do not balance the budget soon," he said. "Inflation will be In evitable and our credit will of neces sity be destroyed." Dangers Seen. "To sum up." he concluded. "I feel that to meet our present situation the country must : ( a ) Increase taxes where practical, bearing in mind the danger involved: b) economize in government operations, and (c) dis card our haphazard method of dealing with our unemployment as a non recurring phenomenon and face it squarely by "(1) The work camps. "(2) Full use of the federal emerg ency relief act under the conditions I have outlined for cash relief. "(3) Such additional aid as may come from a public works program based on paying Investments and ne cessities, the organized individual ac tions of various companies on emerg ency unemployment funds, old age pensions, etc., and "4 Some stimulus for the capital Industriea. "The Amercan nation must face facts or fall." TRUCKMAN FAILED 10 WIS ? John Doe Is charged In a warrant issued out of Justice of the Peace W. R.

Jean Connor, former "Good Government Congress." official and orator and "bright boy of Pinehurst." in which Attorney Von Schmalz withdraws his recommendation for a pardon. Con nor was paroled by Judge George F. Sklpworth from a two-year sentence for his confessed part In the ballot thefts. A copy of the letter was sent to Judge Sklpworth. The Von Schmalz letter states Con nor was married December 2 at Bend to "a woman many years his senior," and that the matrimonial venture is violation or the parole law provisions. The parole to Connor is now subject to revocation In the discretion of the court. Von Szhmalz says he was not consulted about the wedding, and that It deranged "plans I had for the boy."
