MAN WHO STOLE
VETERANS Cash
OUT OF PRISON

I.EAVENWORTH, Kans., Nov. 25,
R-With freedom only few hours
away, Colonel Charles r. Forbes,
former director of the United States
Veterans Bureau, put prison cares
behind him tonight, and looked for
ward to rebuilding a career as civ
il engineer.
Midnight was the hour for the re-
lease Of Colonel Forbes, who was
sentenced to the federal penitentiary
here for a term of two years and
fined $4,000 upon his conviction in
Chicago in 1925 on charges of de-
frauding the government in award
ing contracts for Veterans hospitals.
Completing his term on October q
with an allowance of IA days for
good behavior, Forbes took an oath
that he was unable to pay the fine,
and began serving the thirty addi-
tional days required in such cases.
He applied for a parole several times
but was denied clemency.
In a fight to beat back from his
penitentiary experience, the 40 year
old former government official re-
vealed he intended to go back to
his old profession as an engineer
after visiting his SO year old mother
in Plymouth, Mass, and making a
trip to washington.
AS prisoner he was assigned to
the construction department of the
penitentiary and won high praise
from Warden T. B. White for his
diligence.
Colonel Forbes checked in his
prison clothes this afternoon and
donned business suit. He worked
on statement to be given out as
soon as he left the prison gate. He
indicated he would devote some time
to writing in an effort to answer
the. charges upon which he was con-
victed. .aa.. -.

The second set of regulations was
agreed to by all countries except the
United States and consisted ct such
regulations as the United States con-
sidered infringe upon private man
agement. These articles deal mostly
with the fixing of radio charges.
Secretary Hoover, who presided over
the conference, delivered a closing
address, in which he analyzed the
major provisions of the convention,
and remarked that the harmony and
cooperation <3played by the delegates
set another milestone in tne progress
of international relations"
The chief problem facing radio, he
said. namely the efficient utilization
of the limited number OF channels,
had been solved by the convention,
which was unanimously approved by
the conference
The next conference will be held

movement all over the Soviet Union
is growing stronger. There is no
single town which has not protested
against the insolent challenge of the
American class justice to the inter

workers has aroused the whole of
public opinion in the Soviet Union in
indignation and angry protest. Num-
erous public bodies have joined their
voices to the powerful protests Of the
working class organizations.

tives of the intelligentsia in the So
