SOVIET To KILL
5 SPECTATORS

MOSCOW. Aug. Is G.N.SO.
Five more citizens of the Soviet
Union we're sentenced to death
today for theft and speculation.
Acting under the new drastic
law aimed at eradicating the
joint evil of robbing collective
farms and speculation, Soviet
officials sentenced four Kulaks
(well-to-do peasants) to death at
Tashkent.
They were charged with
speculating in grain from collec-
tive farms and using their profits
to buy Vodka. So great we're
their depredations that the man.
ayers of the pilfered farms had
to sell 276 horses to buy food for
the innocent peasants dependent
upon the institutions for their
livelihood.
The other offender condemned
to death was a railWayman at
Rostov-on-Don who was found to
have been stealing textiles from
freight cars over a period of 10
years.
At Kunsevo, near Moscow. II
peasants were sentenced to serve
10 years in a concentration camp

10000 DRUNKS'
TO GET PARDON

HELSINGFORS, Finland, Aug.
IS GNSD.-A move to free
10000 violators of Finland's now
repealed prohibition law gained
headway today.
Because of crowded prison con-
ditions resulting from the arrest
of nearly 10000 annually for
drunkenness under the dry law,
none of these 10000 violators
has served time.
The government is put to great
expense to keep records of their
whereabouts, and then finds
trouble in placing them in
prisons.
Reprieve would be a major
economy move for the govern
ment, and the cabinet is re-
ported to be favorably inclined
and is drawing up an amnesty
bill for presentation in the diet.
Finland's dry law was re-
pealed April S, 1882, and six
weeks later arrests for drunken
ness had decreased so per cent.

DUNCAN FAXED
BOOKS, AYERS
PROSECUTION
Discrepancies Charged; Also
Violation of Waring Plan
Of Record as Ordered

The prosecution by the pro-
cess of elimination will seek to
establish today that William
H. Duncan, former Arlington
county clerk, charged with
misrepresentation of State
funds, altered his accounts to
confuse examining auditors.
State auditors yesterday ad
mitted that recent audits of Dun
cans books did not conform to
those of past years, but attempt
ed to explain the discrepancies
with testimony that the records
of receipts had been altered.
System Violated
The receipt book in which orig
inal entries of delinquent tax
payments were made did not
conform to the Waring system,
a record of receipts and disburSe-
ments maintained under form
of accounting required by the
State law, the auditors said.
They pointed out discrepancies
in the two ledger systems amount
ing to $4,000 for 1881.
They told the judy that in
many instances entries on the
original record showed tax pay
ments of several hundred dollars
more tnan the Waring ledger
which apparently had been al
tered as erasures were made.
Employees Called
The prosecution today will sum
mon all employees in the clerks
office to question them regarding
the alterations, Assistant States
Attorney Collins Denny, tr.. de-
clared.
BY this evidence, the prosecu-
ton declared it expected to show
that no employe in Duucan's Of
flee had altered the books, which
would leave the jury to draw only
ore inference, as to the identity
cf the one who made the changes.
With the testimony of these
witnesses the State expects to
establish that Duncan had know
ledge of the alleged large short
ages in his books when he failed
to comply with a court order to
deposit State road check for
S7.815 in an Alexandria bank.
The indictment on which he is
being tried charges him with mis-
appropriation of that amount.

BY SMITH w. BROOKHART
Senator from Iowa

The farmers strike in Iowa
which is now spreading to
other States rapidly, may be
laid directly at the door of
Herbert Hoover.
The cause of the strike is the
complete disregard by President
Hoover of the platform on which
he was elected in 1923 and COM
plete disregard of his personal
pledges in his acceptance speech
four years ago.
Platform Pledge
The 1928 platform pledged:
"The creation of a Federal
Farm Board of representative
farmers to be clothed with au-
thOrity and resources with
which not only to still further
aid farmers cO-operatives and
pools and to assist generally in
solution of farm problems, but
especially to build up, with
Federal finance, farmer-Owned
and farmer-cOntrOIled stabiIiza-
ton corporations which will
protect the farmer from the
depreSSiOns and demOralizatiOnS
of seasonal glutS and periodical
Surpluses."
This was not done. The board
has never been properly financed.
1t should have had $1,500,000, 900
with which to absorb crop sur
pluses and insure to the farmers
a cost of production price.
Failed to Keep Word
Hoover himself, in his accept
ance speech four years ago, said
he had no patience with the OBJ
jections of opponents of the plan,
who would refuse the use of the
necessary capital to carry out the
plan. He said at that time:
"A nation which is spending
S9O,OOO,OO a year can well
afford an expenditure of a few
hundred millions for a work
able program that will give to
One-third of its population their
fair share of the nations pros
perity."
Had Hoover kept his word,
there would be no necessity now
for a farmers strike.
He is we'll aware of this from
his own experience. Hoover and
Julius Barnes, to carry out Prcsi-
dent Wilson's pledge that the $226
price for wheat would be held up
after the end of the war, because
The excess planting had been
done on the plea of war need,
we're given as much power in that
particular field as dictators. And

oletely successful.
