NAVY 4SPY CASE
TERMED "S|LLY''
Ex-Petty Officer Denies He
Ever Gave Secrets to
Japanese Officer.
Nv the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, June 26.-The Gov
ernment,s espionage charges were be-
Titled today by one Of the suspects in
the Navy spy case" rs he was called
upon to answer to an indictment &C.
cusing him Of having sold American
naval secrets to . japanese.
"A silly mess" was the way the al
legations were summed up by the ac-
cused, Harry Thomas Thompson, for
mer United States Navy yeoman.
He said he knew Toshio Miyazaki,
who was indicted with him by Fed
eral grand jury, but was not aware
that he was q lieutenant commander
in the imperial Japanese Navy, as
charged in the indictment.
Il knew him at Stanford University
as q student and instructor" he con-
tinued. "As for receiving money from
him in return for naval secrets-that's S
all lot of bunk"
Thompson, who has been serving a
county Jail sentence on his conviction
Of illegal wearing Of q naval uniform,
declared he wouldn't be surprised to
see the indictment thrown out of court
before trial"
Arraignment Of Thompson was orig
inally set for next Monday, but late
yesterday the date was changed to
today.

speech and platform, and the whole
program, has been modified by two
events that took place just as the con-
vention was about to sit.
New Party Hurdle Set Up.
Mr.. Roosevelt and the New Dealers
may not have been greatly disturbed
by the proclamation Of dissent from
former Gov. Smith and his associates,
for that could have been expected.
But one can safely surmise that Mr.
Roosevelt and the New Dealers may
have been thrown on balance by the
announcement of a new party made
up of radicals. That made the elec-
ton starkly doubtful, even to the most
confident New Dealers. That took
away from the New Deal precisely the
votes it was hoped to hold by being
dramatic.

port shown by the fact that many
citizens have responded and sent
their contributions Of $1.0O, the
"good will" campaign enters its
second week.
Over 500 letters are being sent
out to citizens Of both cities in an
effort to apprise them of the fact
that in this community five young
men are attempting to disprove the
statement that call the Merge cares

pooled their resources, opened a

now six months and if the citizens
of the Twin Cities will give them

determined to build business of
which the community as a whole
can justly be proud. They are ask

He's an ofay, son of prominent
St. Paul family. He's in love with
lovely brown-skinned child, and
she only laughs at him. She's afraid
of liking him and snubs him con-
tinually. His family knows about
the affair and admires the girl for
her attitude. He will leave next
week for Europe to forget-if he
can. {. . A blind beggar in st. Paul

Topics of No Particular Value
One of the Twin City matrons who
highly entertained Kansas City
family visiting here the past sum-
mer went down to K. C. the other
week-thereby hangs tale. Her
former guests told her over the
phone they had severe illness in the
family-in fact they were quaran-
tined. Imagine the embarrass-
ment all around when seat neigh
bors in the darkened Lincoln thea
tire in K. C. the same night proved
to be the whole family who had
been wined and dined by the visit
ing matron in the Twin Cities. The
woman in the family lamely ex-
planned that the quarantine had
been lifted!
Reason Enough: The reason more
radio programs contain no Afra-
mericans is that the cullud breth-
rem are loath to write the radio
stations in praise of the various
Race performers. A check of a ma
