The ease Of George II. Oswald
against the City of Fl Centre was
begun in superior court department

morning Oswald seeks alleged
damages Of $4,000
Oswald was the first witness to
take the stand and according to his
testimony he appeared before the
board of trustees seeking an exten.
sion of time ON II pavement contract.
He charged that he was told by
Councilman VIII 5. Fawcett that in
order to get the extension he must
put a two inch surface over cettain
streets which he had previously
paved and must give the city a 10
year lease on a cement plant which
he owned for consideration of 81
Il year.
He charged that Fawcett told him
that the "board had him where
they wanted him and that he must
be a good dog.
He said that the next day he
was granted the extension of the
contract but that he gave the 10
year lease on the cement plant, de
claring that the re ,surfaeing matter
was dropped.

DenOunces Attitude of

By VICTOR B. KNAUTH
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, May 26.-England is
pushing toward war by breaking off
diplomatic relations with Russia, NJ
NJ. Litvinoff, assistant commissar
for foreign affairs, charged in a
statement.
1.-The break in Anglo-Soviet re-
lations is not the result of the Ar
, cos raid,' Litvinoff said. "The
raid was the result of the intention
to break off relations.
"This can only mean that Eng
land is pushing toward war, for it
is absurd to believe that England
hoped to benefit by the break. The
step was not taken solely to deprive
English industry of millions OF
pounds sterling or to increase unem-
ployment or free the Soviet Of all
her obligations toward England"
Litvinoff said the break was the
result of British campaign "to
crush the Soviet at any cost. -
The campaign started, he said,
with the Zinoviev letter.
British Foreign Minister Cham
perrin, VINO is nOluef OF the
Nobel peace prize" hesitated to
break off relations until he could
find allies, but failing in that de-
cided to attack singly, hoping to
draw in other nations, Litvinoft
charged.
"These countries must know the
nature of the criminal adventure
wherein they may become involv'
ed,' he said. ''The Soviet will
take all precautions to keep from
being caught mapping
Premier Baldwin was unable to
Justify the raid on ARGOS, Ltd, and
Soviet trade delegation headquar-
tiers even on the grounds of the
search for "lost documents, on the
basis of which police conducted the
noisy expedition" he added.
