Bismarck. NJ, D.. Dec, 10s--In order

assembly against Harold KreaIner
and Herbert Dawson, two Hazelton
young men who were among Id or

prevented from placing these men on
the stand to testify against the Ave
principals indicted for riot Torkel-
son, Babcock, Armstrong, Hartman
and Ellithorpe-while a change hung
over their heads and when their evil
dence might incriminate themselves.
Although Vernon Scott faces a
similar charge. he was allowed to
take the stand. He told of an assem-
blage in a. local pool hall the night
OF the riot and OF hearing someone
suggest that the crowd Ego out and
get Wallie Daugherty." He was not
able to connect any OF the principal
defendants I'D with this suggestion,
however. He thought that ARM

they were there when this statement

SAVINGS STAMPS
 CAMPAIGN |S LIN

A concerted campaign having for it's purpose to complete the sales of war savings stamps in counties com prising Group No. 2 was started in earnest today. A meeting Sunday night was held at the Arkansas Bank & Trust Company, at which the fol- lowing persons were present: Chas. G. Henry of Newport, chairman of the group, George R. Wyman, Bruce Ramsey and H. F. H. Eberts of State Director Wright's regular field force, and R. s. Granger of Harrison; F. o. Cogbill of Wynne annd J. Wall ker Morrow of Forrest City.
 Chairman Henry assigned these men to duty in the following coun- ties:
 Baxter, Cleburne, Fulton, Inde- pendence, Izard, Lawrence, Marion, Randolph, Sharp, Stone, White and Woodruff. The men began work Monday morning and hope to com plete the "mopping up" campaign by Wednesday of next week. Many of the counties have fallen far short of the quota of sales of War Savings stamps. These counties range from twenty to eighty per cent in sub- scribing their quotas. Probably Jackson county has attained the bet. ter record, having subscribed te eighty per cent of it's quota. Chair man Billingsley believes he will bt 1 able to bring Jackson county ever tths top within week.
 l Group Chairman Henry has ex. , perienced some difficulty in carrying /, forward the work in several countie! 1 by reason of the fact that the matter
 of keeping county chairmen on tn, l job has not been an easy one. In In dependence county there have beer I three different chairmen since thu
 drive started In other counties chairmen are members of the con ] stitutional convention, now in sessioi
 in Little Rock.
 Success in several counties of tn,
 district, Chairman Henry states, ha
 been greatly due to the efforts of H 1 F. H. Eberts of Little Rock, Claud'
 M. Erwin and Fred R. Suits of New
 port, who comprise his official staff
