(JP) A stoical stork circled uncertainly to day over 1097 West Oundu itreet, with what looked like a 1760,000 baby In his well-known bill. Tie tag read: "Deliver to Mri. Grace Bagnato before Oct. 31," but the bird we taking hU sweet time about It. Not that he couldn't find Mra. Bag nato. Why, he knew Mre. Bagnato better than Damon knew Pythias or Boewoll Knew Johnson. He'd been to Mrs. Bagnato'e home, he figured, of tenor than to any other place In Can ada: 23 times altogether. Illamea Millar It may hBve been that the stork was a bit groggy from all the over time he'd been working during the last ten years. Hrf blamed Charles Vance Millar for that: Charles Vance Millar who died Oct. 31, 1826, leav ing most of his wealth to the mother who should show the largest number of babies In a ten year period ending a week from next Saturday. The stork, wheeling leisurely around, pondorcd. Who was Charles Millar, a bachelor almost to the point of being a misogynist, that he should display such an enthusiastic post mortal Interest In building up the Toronto birthrate? and If Millar had been sincere, why hand't he been more specific? Why, the stork ruminated, Millar hadn't even cared If the babies lived or died, or even and this made the stork very sad If the mothers were married. The stork got to thinking about Mrs. Bagnato down there at 1097 West Dundas. wouldn't it be nice, he thought, if ho could do a little something extra for her this time twins, perhaps, or more wonderful still, triplets? Tie Looms The best that one baby could do, be knew, would put Mrs. Bagnato In a tie with other mothers for a share of eocentrio Mr. Millar's gold. The stork sighed. Twins or triplets appeared out of the question. He had borne 23 babies to Mrs. Bagnato over the years, but always he bore them one at a time. Not much like that flight he'd made May 28, 1034. to the farmer's wife up Oallander way what was her name? Oh, yes: Mrs. Dlonne. The stork threw out his xhuf (n... Mitnktlur about It. Well, he couldn't spend much more time flying around here doing noth ing. He'd hoard he was supposed 'to an hair end vet another baby for that Mrs. Matthew Kenny who also was trying to win tne must money. Mrs. Kenny said she'd borne a do n children In 10 years, but the stork couldnt romember the exsct num ber. Ho thought It was less: but then, ha never pretended to be very good at arithmetic. Let the lawyers worry about It. But down there at 1097 West Dun das, with nine properly qualified tot already to her credit, was Mrs. Bag nato expecting. Todays sun climbed Into the sky: and the poor, befuddled stork still circled uncertainly overhead. Mil ELECTED A stoical stork circled over the home of Mrs. Grace Bagnato (above) at Toronto, Ont., with what might be a $750,000 baby. Mrs. Bagnato la a leading contender for the fund willed by the late Charles Vance Millar to the Toronto mother giving birth to the most babies In the 10 year period following his death. One mora baby would put her In a tie with other mothers In the contest ending October 31. (Associated Press Photo) OREGON STUDENTS WILL PLAY HOSTS UNIVERSITY OP OREOON, Eugene, October 20.

(UP) Secretary of Treasury Heniy Morgen thau, Jr., Monday denied charges of former president Hoover that the treasury had "Juggled" the federal books and said that If Hoover's state ment were permitted to go unchal lenged it might Impair the confidence of the public in its financial officials with consequent detrimental effect on the federal credit. Implying that Hoover, In his Phil adelphia address Friday night, had been guilty of "loose ta.k," Morgen tbau dented that the treasury has resorted to double bookkeeping. ".The facts are that . the treasury accounts are kept strictly In accord ance with the law, and nro not based upon any partisan pollttcal consider ations," Morgcnthau said. ' The treas ury submits to the congress in ac cordance with the law an annual report on the state of finances, and a detailed report of receipts and ex penditures of the government for each fiscal year." "When, however, a former presi dent of the United State. In a pub lic address, charges the treasury of the United States with 'intellectual dishonesty and 'pernicious deceit the public Intrest demands that those charges be denied. "The citizens naturally Impute to a former president intimate knowl edge of the financial operations of the government," Morgenthau said, "and when Mr. Hoover attacks the integrity of the public accounts, his statements, If permitted to go un challenged, might tend to Impair the confidence of the public In Its finan cial officials, with consequent detri ment on the federal credit." Saying that Hoover's crltllclsms were not suportea by facts, Morgen thau added that every change "made by the present administration has been In the direction of greater clar ity and completeness In reporting the receipts and expenditures of public funds." Asked what effect statements such as former president Hoover's might have on public confidence., Morgen thau said the public, If It believed the statements, might question the advisability of holding government bonds. "But I might draw your attention." he added, "to the fact that Hoover's speech wss Friday night and that the government bond market went up Saturday. So did today's."
