QUIZ ANOTHER
LEFEbVRE IN C|LLIS
DOUBLE KILLING

Nashua, N. H., July 30.-(AP)-A
fifth member of the family, another
relative of Charles Lefebvre, chore
boy employed by Helen and Geor-
gianna Gillis, aged spinster, who
were slain in their home at Hudson
a week ago. was questioned by pol
ice today about the double crime.
He is Raymond Lefebvre, 13. young
er brother Of the chore boy. Police
learned from Mrs. KaZimosis Janus
zeuski who conducts a small store
on the Lowell road, about a half
mile from the Gillis home, that he
changed $40 bill when he purchas-
ed dollars worth of candy from
her a week ago Wednesday.
The boy, when confronted by the
woman, denied the story and told
police that he has never possessed
that much money in his life. Pre-
vious to his grilling, Sheriff O'Dowd,
Chief Connell of the Hudson police
and Inspector Eddie of the Nashua
police, questioned his brother,
Charles, the chore boy, for the sixth
time but learned nothing of import
ance from him.
Louis Lebombard, brother in law
Of the Lefebvre boys, was released
from the Nashua Jail tonight after
being questioned about the case by
Sheriff O'Dowd.
That official said that Lebombard
told the authorities that he accom-
panied Charles Lefebvre to the Gillis
home early on July ID, the day on
which police think the sisters were
slain, and stayed with him while he
moved their lawn. Then, Lebom-
bard told police, he left Charles at
the Gillis home and went to his own
home in Merrimack, Mass.
The chore boy has told the au-
thorities six different times that he
did not go to the Gillis home on that
day, Lebombard, who was arrested
last night at his Massachusetts
home, was questioned several times
before police released him. When ne
left the Jail, he was instructedto re-
turn here tomorrow morning and to
report to Sheriff O'Dowd.

DISCUSS FOREIGN
POLICY OF AMERICA
AT INSTITUTE POLITICS

Williamstown. Mass, July 30
(AP)-The foreign policy of the coun-
try came prominently before the In
stitute of Politics today with a state
department representative its propon-
ent and a prominent historian it's
commentator. The former, William
r. Castle, chief of the western Eur
opean division, declared that the
United States was determined upon
the funding of all foreign war debts
and was mo Shylock." Recognition
of the Soviet government of Russia,
Mr.. Castle rejected on the ground
that that government was linked with
the third International and has car
ried on world wide destructive pro-
paganda.
Professor A. C. Coolidge of the de-
partment of history Of Harvard Uni
versity, followed Mr.. Castle at an
open conference on Americas foreign
policy. 1t was easy to understand
European enmity toward America, he
said, and there was much to excuse
resentment at her new immigration
policy, her turning her back" on the
league of nations, and her exclusion
of Japanese. The governments s
great problem, according to Mr.. Cas-
tie, was to distinguish apparent and
temporary interests from real and
permanent ones. It's policy was
pledged to helpfulness toward Europe
without impertinent interference, CO.
operation without ENHANCEMENT;
avoidance of promises which cannot
be fulfilled, and the scrupulous full
fillment of engagements. OF foreign
debts he said in part:
The American government insists
that these debts be formally recogniz-
ed through the negotiation of fund
ing arrangements. 1t is believed that
this will lead toward stability x.
There are many who believe that a
large measure of blame for the cha
otic economic conditions in Germany
during the post war years was due to
the fact that Germany had no idea Of
the total bill which must be paid.
When the Dawes plan made this clear
and clear and also indicated posi-
BILE method also indicated a
possible method of payment. condi
tions Immediately improved. The
funding of the British debt to AM
erica was one of the very important
steps in the British return to the gold
standard"
The United States cannot become
a party to the European security
pact, Mr.. Castle asserted. but it can
study and criticize or applaud the
plans Of the nations of Europe to live
in peace. AS to loans by bankers, the
was willing that these
should be made for constructive pur-
poses but not for building up arma-
ment. A loan to Russia was against
public policy and likewise recognition
OF the Soviet regime was not to be
considered.
