Washington, Oct B. UP)- Bishop James Cannon, Jr, to-day filed with the office of Assistant U. S. District Attorney Wilson a brief declaring that the investiga- tion of his political activities had not unearthed "a single scintilla of evidence" of wrong doing by him.
 He filed the brief just as the grand jury went into session to consider a presentment against him involving allegations that he had violated the corrupt practices act by his financing during the 1928 presidential campaign.
 Cannon challenged legality of the grand jury proceedings. He argued that he was not legally re- quired to account for funds he ex- pended in the state of Virginia.
 Neither the bishop nor his former secretary, Ada Mae Bur roughs, who refused to testify be- fore the Nye committee investigat- ing campaign activities, was pres ent when the grand jury went into session

Elizabeth, N. J., Oct S-(UP)- For permitting a barbecue to be held on his estate, Green Lane Farm, on a Sunday, U. S Senator Hamilton F. Kean has been made the subject of vote of disapprov- al by the congregation of Hope Memorial church. It was revealed today.

 The letter protests that "the law of God" was broken by holding the barbecue on the Sabbath, and that "the law of the government of the United States was broken by the fact that those in attendance were invited to "quench their thirst from several hundred half-barrels of real beer"

HOOVER PLAN TOO LATE SAYS
 ROGER BABSON
Believes in Helping For. eign Countries as Ulh. mately It Will Help Us
BY ROGER w. BAbSON (Written for the United Press

Wellesley Hills, Mass, Oct B. (UP)-I believe that President Hoover's steps to help country banks in connection with depre- ciated bond holdings and frozen assets is distinctly. constructive The only difficulty is that it has come too late. However, the big bankers were not in a mood to help until this past week.
 believe in helping foreign countries. as ultimately the world must prosper as a unit. We, however, should be willing to help banks and farmers of this coun- try simultaneously with helping the banks and farmers of Europe. It is a poor rule that doesn't work both ways.
 My own forecast is that we will help Europe in some concrete form, but-before such help ma terializes-we must work out some plan to help our own people at the same time.
 My own guess is that this will take place through some form of imitation which will make easier for the people of this country who are in debt to carry their obliea- tions without defaulting either the principal of the interest.
