BUTLER, Pa, May 14.-Mayor
Charles H. Kline Of Pittsburgh, and
his former supplies director, Ber-
tram L. Succop, we're found guilty
OF malfeasance in Office here today.
The Jury recommended the light
est possible sentence for each de-
PENDANT.
1t was discovered when they read
their verdict they had forgotten an
individual indictment against Sue
cop. They retired and reported
few minutes later mot guilty" All
other counts we're returned jointly.
Deliberate Thirty-TwO Hours
The Jury of four women and eight
men reached the verdict after thir-
ty-two hours elaboration. and It
was read when court convened to-
day.
Mayor Kline was found guilty on
one count and Succop on twenty
nine.
The verdict removes the. mayor
from office, although such removal
will await the outcome of appeals
from the findings Of the Butler
county jury. Succop already has
been removed from the Office
through action Of the mayor when
charges first we're brought that city
buying of supplies was not accord
ing to law.
Kline is the first Pittsburgh mayor
elected to succeed himself in Office.
Favoritism Charged
The charges against the mayor
and his deposed director of supplies
said favoritism was shown certain
companies in the purchase Of GER
tain supplies, disregarding the re-
1uired competitive bidding and prop
er advertising for such bids.
Supplies ranged from canned
goods for the city at MAYHEM to
costly rugs for the mayors Office.
The mayor was indicted on forty
eight counts, thirty-flve Of which
Judge Thomas D. Finletter of Phila-
delphia, trial judge, quaShed before
they reached the jury. Seven counts
against Succop were quashed.
The one count on which the mayor
was indicted charged him with par
ticipating in the illegal purchase of
three secondhand trucks from
Henry Braun. 1t charged that in
that deal $4,000 was advanced Braun

Liberals Would Act

Unless the situation changes, the
bill to be presented to the senate
by Democratic leaders probably viii
be the basis of the relief legisla-
ton to be enacted before adjourn
ment.
If Republican senators should de-
eide to submit the Hoover plan as
an alternative. senate liberals would
hold a balance of power between
the two plans, and would be in a
position to obtain amendments in
accordance with their views.
Senator Joseph T Robinson,
Democratic leader, already has be-
gun the work Of drafting a relief
bill along the lines Of the plan he
presented to the senate this week.
The draft will be perfected by a
committee on which Senators Wag-
ner, Buckley, Pittman and Walsh
of Montana have been appointed
with Robinson.
Object to Hoover Plan
According to tentative plans, the
Democrats will accept Hoover's sug-
gestion that relief funds for the dis
tressed be allotted from Reconstruct
ton Finance Corporation funds
rather from new bond issue.
They will insist, however, that at
least S300,000,000 be available for
this purpose.
They object, however, to the Pres
ident's suggestion that all construc-
ton funds for creating employment
also come from the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
While the committee has under
consideration the possibility that
loans for "self-liquidating public
works" might be made from the
corporation, they probably will in
sist that the larger part of the con-
struction program be financed from
government bonds.

@ND yet we shall say it, and must say
~ it, to all our neighbors and friends,
because there is still little faith left,
and little courage. Looking back on
the history of the world since the first
Christmas day, one marvels at the faith
and courage of mankind. We are going
through a bad chapter of history, but
there have been worse. It was worse
when the first Christians were hiding
in catacombs like hunted beasts, or were
goaded in droves into the arena where
wild beasts waited for them and Nero
sat in his marble chair looking down
upon them, bored with their agonies.
It was worse when there was Black
Death in England stalking from town to
town and leaving them unpopulated,

until nearly one-half of the whole popu-
lation of England was dead. It Travelled
across Europe, that peStilence, and in
China 100000 people persisted. 1t was
worse when for centuries the tribes of
men fought with each other, and West
ern civilization was invaded by Mongols
and Turks and Arabs who slew merci-
lessly, not sparing women and children.
One turns the pages and remembers
other chapters Of human misery-the
years before the French Revolution,
when the peasants were starving; the
Napoleonic wars when many fields were
soaked with blood; the potato famine
in Ireland; the Hungry Forties In Eng

cent even than that-during the World

10ET in spite of it all, men and wom-

spirit, with courage unquenchable, with
endless hope have gone on greeting each
other on one day of the year with the
old words, "A Merry Christmas And,
what is more, the best and braveSt of
them have made it merry, somehow, for
children about them, for their family
circle, for friends and strangers, because
of strange glow of charity in their
hearts and some inward flame with the
power Of warmth.
Charles Dickens was one. OF those.

~HE world finds this Christmas with

~ with lean larders in many homes,
with anxiety-even despair-in
many hearts It is no use flinching
from the hard truth that in all mate
rial things this is the worst Christmas
that has come round since the war.
Throughout the world there are millions
OF men out of work and wageless, living
iniserably on some form of dole or some
share of charity. The wheels of trade
have been slowed down. Poverty has
crept up. Nations once rich and power
full are on the edge of bankruptcy, or
over the edge Families once prosper
osas, with a sense OF security, with
margin for luxury, are pinched and
stricken. They belong to the class OF
shabby genteel. Masses of men and
women in industrial cities, in almost
every country, cannot even maintain
that standard. They are destitute.
And in the face of all that it sounds
nnoekery to say, "A Merry Christmas"
