An unordained Methodist min ister who worked as a bank teller faced arraignment today on charges of embezzling money "little by little." Robert H. Drodge, 27, who resigned a pastorate to take a bank job, waived extradition from Pennsylvania Monday and voluntarily crossed to neighbor ing West Virginia to face fed eral prosecution. "I want to get it over with Drodge, of Mt. Morris,' Pa. when he was taken by said FBI agents to the state line. J. Gordon Shanklin, special agent in charge of the FBI of fice in Pittsburgh, said Drodge was charged with violation of the Federal Reserve Act and spe cifically with embezzling or mis applying $2,000 on or about Aug. 13. Ray Fisher, a service station operator in Mt. Morris, accused Drodge Saturday of fraudulent pretense. Fisher said his check ing account at the First National Bank of Morgantown, W where Drodge worked teller, was short S22.500. Va., Drodge admitted taking money from Fisher's account and from the account of another Mt. Mor ris resident, W. F. Snowden. But he denied the amount was so high. He said the shortage was about $17,500. The former circuit minister for the Pittsburgh Methodist Conference said he took the money "little by little." GENUINE CHARCOAL BROILED FOODS! Candle Room!

CINEMASCOPE OOLOB br XM UTXB mtnii nrsfi MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SLEVZlf Togo's Book Says U.S. Maneuvered Japan Into War 7 Washington (U.PJ The late Shigenori Togo, Japan's foreign minister at the time Pearl Har bor was attacked, has charged that the U.S. government man euvered" his country into war so it could mobilize American pub lic opinion for the conflict. The accusation is contained in a forthcoming copyrighted book by Togo, "The Cause of Japan," to be published by Simon and Schuster, Inc.. of New York. Ex cerpts from the book were con tained in an article appearing to day in U.S. News and World Re port, a weekly newsmagazine. Used as Camouflage Togo, who died in Sugamo prison in 1950 while serving a sentence as war criminal, as serted that the late President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his secretary of state, Cordell Hull, used their 1941 peace negotia tions with Japan as camouflage to cover up preparations for the Pacific war. He said the November. 1941, note that Hull handed to Japan's special envoys in Washington was planned to force Japan to "commit the first overt act" of war. The Hull note demanded with drawal of all Japanese forces from China and Indochina and restoration of Chinese sover eignty among other things. Most of the material in logo s account has already been made known either at congressional hearings here, the war crimes trials in Tokyo or the reminis- censes of other olticiais. Mow- ever, some of his arguments seeking to justify Japan's actions are new to the American public. Insurgents Bolt So. Carolina Demos Columbia, S. C. U.P.) In surgents bolted from the South Carolina Democratic Party and today set out to get an independ ent slate of electors on the No vember general election ballot. Some 50 delegates who ob jected to a unity stand adopted by the state Democratic conven tion Monday met afterward in a secret night session and decided to split from the party. They said they would announce their slate of electors today. The insurgents, calling them selves "South Carolinians for independent electors," have the seemingly impossible task of ob taining 10,000 signatures in 11 days on a petition for a spot on the ballot.
