SHEEP WORRIED
PA DIONNE MORE
THAN The CUNTS

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-It took
a 500 bill, suddenly thrust into
his hand, to take Olivia Dionne'S
mind off his sheep and fasten it
on the quintuplets just born to
his wife, jury in Federal Court
was told at the opening of a
81 ,000, 900 damage suit against DR..
Allan Roy Dafoe and three other
defendants.
Both sheep and money were
introduced in testimony by wit
nesseS for Ivan I. Spear, Chicago
promoter, who charges Dafoe and
the other defendants conspired
to upset a contract under which
he was to have exclusive privilege
of exploiting" the world famous
babies-then only days old-at
the Chicago World Fair of 1884.
MIND ON SHEEP
A few days after birth of the
famous five, Ted Kopelman of
Chicago testified. Spear thrust the
500 bill into Dionne's hand,
Whereupon the latter declared:
"It'S more money than I've
ever held in my life"
He signed the contract.
Patricia KrippenS, Chicago news
paperwoman, described the con-
fusion that descended upon the
Dionne household after DR.. Dafoe
had helpd Mrs. Dionne bring the
quints into the world. She quoted
Dionne as complaining:
Don't laugh at me. I can't
even shear my sheep in peace"
ANOTHER DRINK
Whereupon, she said. he went to
Ia Calendar bar for another drink.
Dionne, he said, was worried
about how he would support so
many children. She recalled a
conversation with DR.. Dafoe, in
which she said she asked him
about the contract. DR.. Dafoe,
she said, told her he had no objec-
tions to the contract so long as
it did not jeopardize the babies
welfare.

bers of the Czechoslovak legation
lin London took off by plane this
afternoon two hours after the
four-power conference opened.
Headed by Counsellor Lisicky Of
the legation, the group motored to
Croydon after advising the British
foreign office they were going to
Munich "to be at the disposal OF
the British and French delegations
for purposes of information only"
An air liner was ready for them
at Croydon, but as the propellorS
spun idly, they were forced to
await official permission from the
German government for landing
in Munich.
At the moment the momentouS
Munich conference got under way,
the permission had not been re-
ceived and the Czechs were still at
the airport.

Evidence of Faith

Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain is expected to present the
acceptance to the fourpower con-
ference as a means of inducing
Hitler to refrain from precipitate
action and as proof of Czechoslo-
vakia's willingness to hand over
the Sudetenland by progressive
stages when adequate preparation
for protection of non-German ele-
ments has been made.
Hitler has won again" was the
reaction in some Czech quarters to
the four-power conference in
Munich, where, it is bitterly noted,
there will appear representatives OF
everybody except the nation which
is the objec, of the conference
and whose national existence de-
pendS upon it.
This country, which for many
weeks fearlessly awaited mill
tary knockout. actually feels worse
today. when the blow apparently
has been POSTPONED.

Czech acceptance was transmit
ted to the British government
just before opening of the Munich
conference.
The communique stated that
Britain's note dealt with British
proposals regarding successive real

The Czech announcement was
regarded here as an important
contribution to future peace, al

any provision being made for the

.ANTI-NAzI SPY.
LINKS BUND TO.
REICH CONSULS.

U.N.SO Citing activities OF
German consular offices, John c.
Metcalfe, committee investigator
and former storm trooper, told
the Dies un-American Activities
Committee today that the Ger
man-American bund is linked di-
rectIy to official Germany.
He quoted Fritz Kuhn, president
of the bund, as having told him
that a secret relationship exists
between the bund and DR.. Hans
H. Dieckhoff, German Ambassa-
dor to the United States and Ger
man consuls throughout tn e
country.
BUND CHIEFS LIED
"It has been repeatedly de-
MED by leaders of the German
American bund that there is
any relationship existing be-
tween the German government
and the bund," Metcalfe said.
These denials are not borne
out, however, in the silent ac-
tivities of the Bund. Not only
does a relationship exist beneath
the surface, but on numerous
occasions in the past, officials
of the German government and
those of the Bund have been
seen mingling publicly"
LINKED TO HITLER
Metcalfe, recalling that he had
once before told the committee
that Kuhn claimed he was respon-
sible for the removal Of DR.. Hans
Luther, German ambassador to
the United States, said:
In this connection Fritz
Kuhn informed this investigator
when the latter was a storm
trooper, that not only did he
have power over the ambassador
and consular Set-up in the
United States, but that he also
had a special secret arrange
ment directly with Adolf Hitler
of Germany. Kuhn has repeated
the same statement to others.
CENSORED CONSULS
"Ramifications Of this ar
rangement,' Kuhn declared, also
included a secret relationship
between German-American bund
and DR.. Hans Heinrich DECK
hoff, present German ambaSsa-
dor to the United States, and
German consuls throughout the
country"
Metcalfe also quoted Kuhn as
having told him in the bund ma
tional headquarters in New York
on August is, 1887, that he had
"a certain special arrangement
with Hitler and Germany that
whenever any of our groups have
trouble with the consulates il
their districv they are to report
it to me in full detail"

Relief Work Value Nationally Doubted
Slowly Becoming Unsatisfactory to Both Recipients
 and Taxpayers Says Credit Mems Executive

Although there can be no doubt that business today is better than it was several months ago, there can also be no doubt, however, that the improvement has been somewhat more hesitant than on previous oc- casions when comparable sums of taxpayers money were being dis persed to stimulate an upturn in business.
 That is the opinion voiced by Henry H. Heimann, Executive Man ager of the National Association of Credit Men, in his monthly review of business released yesterday to the Associations 10000 member firms in the banking, manufactur- ing and wholesaling fields.
 'This phenomenon, more than anything else, indicates a long, range lack of confidence in these policies. But as such it is a whole some sign. It can mean much to the stability of the country if it checks adoption of similar pro- grams in the future," the credit executive declares.
 We as a nation must realize the significance implied in the fact that

Help Sought To
 Curb Forest Fires
Water Systems Urge Public to Exercise Care in or
 Near Woods During Late Summer

This is the season of the year when the pungent odor of wood smoke is likely to give warning of burning forests and therefore the season when motorists, campers and p1cknickerS should take precaution against any act which might lead to the destruction of Connecticut woodlands by fire, it is pointed out by the arrangements of public wa ter supply systems.
 The public water supply systems have direct interest in the mat ter, since for many years they have been forestating their watershed lands and now have thousands and thousands of acres of timber grow ing on those areas. The thickly planted stands of pine trees one sees in passing near public supply reservoirs have been put there not only because they help to prevent erosion and the carrying of quanti- ties fo earth into the reservoirs by heavy rains, but because they provide the only form of investment by which the water utilities can se- cure even a small return on the large amounts of money spent to acquire these lands. Enterprises other than timber raisig and kin dred pursuits on the land would constitute a possible source of con- tamination for the water and there fore potent hazard to the public health
 The watershed timber is no diff ferent from stands of pine or other trees elsewhere and all woodlands should be protected from the danger of fire, the water supply manage ments urge. Abundance of rain in June and July offset exceedingly dry conditions prevailing in Connecticut forests as a result of the lack of snow last winter, but the burning sun of August and September quick ly dries the forests and their under brush making them fit finder for widespread conf1agration. Once a fire starts in thickly planted wood land 1t rages quickly over large areas and is very difficult to control even though watershed overseres and for est fire lookouts may discover them early.
 Nature has its own methods Of starting such fires, but large num- bers of them are said to be due to mans carelessness. A cigarette carelessly tossed from a passing au- tomobile into the roadside under brush, because of the chemical treatment of it's paper, will burn to the end and in this way can easily provide the spark needed to burn and ruin acre upon acre of growing timber. For this reason, the water utilities ask motorists to use
