.HEDR|CK SAYS NOTE.
OF COMPANY PAID.
Arlington Supervisor Believes
Payment Solves important
Point in Case.
BY LESTER N. INsKEEP,

ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT
HOUSE, Va, July 24-The note given
by the Arlington Investment Corpora
ton for the installation of water and
sewerage in Waycroft subdivision has
been paid in full, it was announced
last night by Supervisor B. M. Hedrick,
who is to be tried September on
charges Of malfeasance in ONCE as .
result of the debt.
The total amount Of the note is
$9,175.78, and was given the county on
April II last, payable in 90 days. Since
the note was discounted by the county,
efforts to learn whether it was paid on
the date 1t was due were unsuccessful
until the information was released by
Hedrick.
Payment Demanded.
Hedrick,s citation into court on the
malfeaSance charge resulted from the
fact that he Is both member of the
board of county supervisors and the
managing director of the Arlington
Investment Corporation, owners of the
subdivision In which the water and
sewerage was installed. The Organized
Women Voters of Arlington County,
compliments in the impeachment pro-
ceedings, allege that the subdivision
work was done at county expense.
In the petition to the court, the
women's organization claimed that the
installations took place during last year
and that no notes were given nor was
edness until Commonwealth's Attorney
william C. Cloth discovered the item
and wrote Hedrick demanding payment.
AS a result of this demand the invest
ment corporation rendered the note on
April II, and it was accepted by the
board of supervisors and turned over
to the county treasurer, who In turn
discounted 1t at local bank.
Indebtedness Cancelled.
Since the payment of this note can
cells all of the Indebtedness OF the in
vestment corporation to the county,
Hedrick believes that it clears up one
of the most important questions in the
Impeachment proceedings. Hedrick
claims that the note was given in q
regular manner and paid promptly and
that there should now be no con-
troversy.
Hedrick's view, however, is not shared
by Commonwealth Attorney william
G. Cloth and Burnett Miller, special
attorney for the Organized Women
Voters.
Case Not Affected.
Upon learning of the Hedrick state
ment Miller said:
THE payment of the note has MOTH
ing to do with the merits of the case.
We are not concerned with the pay
ment of the money, which we always
expected would be- paid but are en-
deavoring to remove the supervisor from
office for irregularities in letting money
out of the county fund in an unethical
manner"
The prosecution also takes issue with
the statement that the note was paid
on the date it fell due. Cloth has
been informed, he says, that payment
was made on July 81 and not on July
II, the maturity date.

Virtue Not to Be Forced, Bos-

BOSTON, August 2o-Criticism of
the enforcement Of virtue by statute
and machine gun, and a plea for the
settlement of the unemployment prob
lem were addressed to the forty eighth
annual supreme convention of the
Knights of Columbus here today by
Catholic leaders in the church and in
public life.
william Cardinal o'Connell, speaking
of Puritanism, said:
"Puritanism was an extreme, which,
unchecked, was bound to lead to
fanaticisn1. We. wish we could say that
there was nothing Of this unsocial, I'M
congenial spirit left in America. But,
alas, from time TO time, we are made
only too conscious Of it by the enact
ment Of laws and statutes which still
indicate the spirit OF the Old Testament
and not that Of the new.
No Forcing Goodness.
History proves that goodness and
virtue and righteousness cannot be
forced on q people by statutes or by
machine guns. But, while we shudder
at the fierce austerity of Puritan life,
we would do we'll not to forget that
luxury and wealth may lead TO the cor
ruption even of the best and destroy

founded by sturdy men in poverty and

Questions Asked knights.
Mayor James M. Curley OF Boston
who followed the cardinal, asked the
Knights three questions:

Mayor Curley closed with the hope
that the convention would give some
thought to the subject.

WILLIAMSBURG, Mass. August 90
Argentina will withdraw from the
Pan-American Union "as soon as the
new generation gets the reins of gov
eminent in its hands. or perhaps be-
fore" Liborio Justo, former chancellor
of the Argentine embassy at Wash
ington, told the General Conference on
Pan-American Problems at the Insti-
tute of Politics today.
Mr. Justo, son OF former Minister
of War Agustin Justo, said he reflected
Argentine public opinion and that he
founded his prediction on the lack Of
equality and sincerity in relations be-
tween the United States and his
country.
Changes in United States Policy.
He said that before the war the peo-
pie of Argentina were friendly toward
the United STATES. but, he added, when
the United States instituted an ag-
eressive policy in the Caribbean area
and revised old doctrines for its own
benefit we began to realize our posi-
ton in the Western Hemisphere.
We have no interest in what Is
called an-Americanism, and conse-
ouently / can assure you that as soon
as the new generation gets the reinS OF
government in its hands, or perhaps
before, Argentina will withdraw from
the Pan-American Union"
we left the League Of Nations be-
cause we felt that it was an entirely
new European institution and why are
we going to stay in that at Washington
which is purely United States tnsti-
tuition? When new association OF
nations is created on a democratic and
universal basis, we will join 1t, but we
have nothing to gain meanwhile from
regional leagues or unions of nations"
Admiration for United States.
Mr.. Justo said that the Argentines
admire the United States, but believe
that so long as the relations Of the two
nations "are not based on equality and
sincerity the amity between the United
States and Argentina can never be
true"
