Drug Firm Heads
Past Investigated
By Authorities
McKesson & Robbins
Officials Arrested
On S. z. c. Charge
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Federal
and State authorities today probed
deeply into the past of F. Donald
Coster, who was arrested yesterday
in connection with a seeming dis
crepancy of $4,000, 900 in the assets
of the huge drug business he built.
Assistant State Attorney General
Ambrose v. Mccall said he had
substantial reason" to suspect Co.'S
ter's identity, and detectives were
assigned to investigate the back
ground of the man, president of Nc
Kesson e. Robbins, Inc.
George Vernard, Canadian mana
ger and agent in charge of market
operations for the drug firm, was
arraigned in Federal Court on
complaint charging violation of the
Securities Act pertaining to filing of
false statements with the New York
Stock Exchange.
Bail Set at $3,500.
Bail was set at $500 after Ver-
nard waived hearing. He was the
third official of the company to be
arrested, Coster and George E. Deit-
rich, assistant treasurer and assist
ant vice president, having been ar
raigned yesterday in Fairfield, Conn.
They, too, waived hearing on charges
of violating the Securities Act and
posted $4,000 bail each.
Information on Coster's financial
operations was sought by a Federal
grand jury, before which so f1nan-
cial district witnesses were sum-
moned to appear.
Head of a tonic manufacturing
firm in 1925. Coster stepped out of
his comparative obscurity to seek
financing for expansion. Julian F.
Thompson, treasurer of McKesson
& Robbins, told the attorney gen.
erals inquiry yesterday.
No Investigation Made.
No investigation of his past
seemed necessary, Mr.. Thompson
said, because his firm showed a
profitable balance sheet. Then an
investment banker, Mr. Thompson
aided Coster in getting $1,000, 900 in
1926 to buy McKesson & Robbins.
Two years later, Mr.. Thompson
said, Coster returned with 5000 600
profit for the preceding year and,
as a result, Mr. Thompsons firm
underwtook the merger of a Nation
wide chain of drug distributing
houses which became the present
McKesson & Robbins business.
Coster himself, a forceful figure,
Mr.. Thompson said, was largely re-
sponsible for the growth of the firm,
which had listed value of S87 .O0O,-
900 and did s140,0O0,0 900 gross busi-
ness annually.
Crude Drugs Paid Nothing.
Then, two years ago. Mr.. Thomp-
son said, he discovered that the huge
crude drugs department of McKes-
son & Robbins was paying nothing
into the firm. He started the private
investigation which resulted event.
ually in discovery that the crude
drugs inventory and accounts re-
ceivable might have been pure flc-
ton, he said.
IF you had known this man." he
said in apparent amazement, you
never could believe he would have
anything to do with a shortage"

Ickes

Continued From First Page)
of Is years ago, in which was ac-
tive in Chicago.
Upon the survival of the New
Deal. with its broad economic and
social objectives, depends, I am
convinced. not only the welfare of
the people, but perhaps even the
continued integrity of our demo-
cratic institutions. Whatever its
deficiencies in detail, 1t is the only
focus around which people of good
will, tolerance and intelligent mod
ern thought, can rally in time to
create and maintain the kind of
world in which such people want
to live.
IF the New Deal is to go for
ward in the service of the people of
good will it is my belief that in
1910 1t must nominate and elect
liberal candidate for President and
give him mandate upon a liberal
platform. No reactionary or STILL
stander. even if acclaimed by that
deceptive description - 'middle-of-
the-roader satisfy either the
immediate demands or the ultimate
aspirations of the American people.
After consultation with many, in
cluding the President, am con-
vinced that I can do more to help
continue the New Deal by staying
in harness where I am than by 60
ing into this contest at Chicago.
While the liberal movement is
overcoming misunderstanding and
cynicism in local politics, the driving
power of the liberal movement must
still come largely from the national
administration at Washington. The
President has told me that he wants
me to stay in the national adminis-
tration TO add what little I can to
that force, and accept the judg-
men of my leader.
Moreover, I am not sure but that
it is more in the interests of long
term, as we'll as for an immediate
liberal movement in Chicago, that
its leadership rise spontaneously
from younger men in the city and
not come from Washington"
Appreciates Compliment.
Accordingly. have decided not
to be a candidate for Mayor of
Chicago.
From my heart, I appreciate the
compliment paid me by those fine
citizens of my city who have ex-
pressed their faith in me and their
belief that I would creditably carry
out my dream. I am disappointed in
myself to disappoint them"
Mr.. Ickes has had under con-
sideration for several weeks requests
for him to enter the race as a
liberal and independent candidate.
Mayor Edward j. Kelly is expected
to be the candidate again of the
Democratic organization of Chicago,
known as the Kelly-Nash organiza-
ton. States Attorney Thomas j.
Courtney, warm supporter of Gov.
Henry Horrfer, is likely to be an
opposition Democratic candidate.
On the Republican side, William
Hale Thompson, former Mayor, al
ready has tossed his hat in the ring.
Another likely candidate on the Re-
publican side is Dwight H. Green,
former district attorney who prose-
cuted AL Capone and other gangsters.
Questioned about his statement
that a liberal must be nominated
for President in 1910, Mr.. Ickes said
he believed Mr.. Roosevelt was the
only New Dealer who could be nomi-
mated.

Would Have Solved Problem.
IF Theodore Roosevelt had been
elected in 1912, no such problem of
a third term would now arise" the
Secretary said.
Mr.. Ickes said he did not believe
there was any real difference be-
tween a third consecutive term and
a third term after an interval of
four years out of the White House.

and reelected. Whether he will be
candidate for reelection, do not
know. I will say, however, that
the reactionaries in his own party
are very likely to make his renomi-
nation sure"
Mr.. Ickes, discussing the third
term issue which has been raised
against President Roosevelt in many
quarters, said that when George
Washington declined to run for a
third term, II am sure that Gen.
Washington did not have in mind
the establishment of a sacred prece-
dent. Most precedents are the re-
suit of growth over a long period

Asked whether there was any other
New Dealer who could be elected
President in 1910, he replied:
Il do not believe there is any who
could be nominated and elected ex-

there are men who could carry on
the New Deal, but the question is
whether they could be nominated
and get mandate from the people. "

him. He had known she'd be here. That was why, she saw now, he had come. Wh1e Dwight was making himself agreeable to her mother and Mrs. Lane, the cap tain's wife, after the three of them left the junior officers quarters for the wardroom, Jack had asked Judy to walk out on deck with him. Now that Dwight had joined her again, Jack was probably go- ing back to the junior officers quarters, two decks below. He was angry. He'd say goodnight to the man whose guest he had been, and go home. But she turned her back to the starboard gangway. She did not want to see him when he left.
 The deck under her feet was solid and familiar. This great gray ship, with the water tapping at its sides, was only one of dozens of ships she had known. Ever since she was a lit tie girl, she had been visiting aboard battleships and cruisers and des- troyers from Shanghai to Norfolk. Dwight was saying, There's some- thing I want to tell you. I've want ed to tell you for long time."
 They stopped as they reached the steel deckplates on which the heavy anchor chain lay. They did not step over the anchor chain, but stood against the chain-rai1. Judy looked at Dwight. How handsome he was! His dark hair curled a little under the gold-eagled cap There was the slightest suggestion of a cleft in his chin. He had something to tell her! Her heart beat fast. Now it was coming. Now. The words that would make truth out of that broad lie she had told Jack Hanley.
 Judy" said Dwight, his eyes on the water, Judy, just what do you think of marriage for a career man?"
 Her hands shook. But her voice was very clear. T think it's a good idea, don't you?"
 Dwight'S handsome profile was intent Look, Judy, you're navy girl. You know things. Yory fathers got rank. You know what I mean. For a young fellow like me, who wants to get to be an ad- miral himself some day, the girl he marries is important. Wives can help men or hinder 'em. I've seen it. Well-what I'm trying to say is"
 She held her breath. He said, "Well, the pays nothing, and yet

GIFT | COSTLY TO CITY
Sixty Years Without Taxa ton Too Much Is AIder-
 mems Opinion

Sixty years without taxation would be the price the city must pay for the gift of property on Chase avenue, the buildings worth about million dollars thereon, in the instance of the low-cost hous- ing program for which the federal government has allotted Waterbury the aforesaid million. The board of alderman heard from William M. Harris, housing chairman, that abatement of taxes for the period of amortization of the government advance would be part of the agree ment required of the city.
 Figuring that the taxes on the land and buildings would amount to about $32,000 annually, the alder men expressed adverse opinion on the proposal that the city take a loss in taxes which would, in 60 years, amount to nearly two mill lions dollars.
 The plan calls for 67 buildings on the land donated by the Chase fam fly on Chase avenue, between Wat erville and Lakewood, each to have four apartments of four or five rooms to cost 1000 room and to be available for families with in- come less than $130 a month. The aldermen found the size of the units another drawback inaSmuch as the claim was made that families of large size could not be accommo- dated.
 The city must provide 10 per cent of the cost and the project calls for $45O,0OO from the government and issuance of $500,000 in bonds to finance the building.

How AID Sold Millions of Automobiles

ALI now realized that there were millions of people who would buy his automobiles the prices were only lower. He also knew that if he could build hundreds of thousands of cars year, he could make them better and less So he enlarged his factory, employed more men, and advertised to millions of people all over the country. By 1921, he was making 6ne-looking car with six-cylinder motor and sestarter And the price had been reduced to S1 OOO
 ADS profit per car was now very small. But he sold many cars that his business was successful And, prices became lower and lower. millions of people who had never dreamed they could afford automo- piles were able to own and enjoy them.

WATERFOWL BOY
 HOME FROM SEA
Edward McG Cough Selected Honor Man of Company
 at Newport, R. I.

Edward Marcus McGough, seaman second class, U. s. navy, the son oj Mrs. Mary A. McGough of French street, Watertown, has arrived home on leave from the U. s. naval tram ing station, Newport, R. T., after completing his three months recruit training period required of all ap- plicants who first enlist in the naval service.
 Eddie" as he is commonly called, was recipient of high honors while undergoing his recruit training pc. riod, being selected as "honor man of his company, battalion and regi- ment. This distinction is well earned and worthwhile and will follow him wherever he perchances to be in the naval service, as it Is entered into his record as a permanent common. dation, and only those who can meet the keen competition and "carry on' are selected for this honor.
 McGough is anxious to learn tho trade of carpenter and recently took "a competitive examination which will enable him to attend the carpenters mate school at the U. s. naval training station, Norfolk, Vir- ginia. If he is successful, he will be transferred to one of the battle- ships of the U. s. fleet, or to one oi the repair ships, where he shall gather the practical principles oi the carpenters trade.
 Of the four boys in this family all at one time or another served in the U. s. navy, two were in the merchant marine service as officers, and one did "cruise" in the U. s. coast guard.

How AID Sold 10000 Automobiles

AID decided that if he could make cars by the hundreds, he could lower the cost and add still more improvements So he appointed agents and adver- tsed in other cities. In this way he was able to tell the story of his car to thousands and thousands of people neither he his agents had ever seen The more agents he appointed and the more he adver- tsed, the more people came in try his car and the cars he sold. And the more cars he built, the better he built them, and the less they cost
 By 1911, AID was making such good car for Sl,5O0 that he sold 10000 that year.

it takes money to make the right kind of impression. Entertaining the right people. Living up to the rank and position. Oh, heck-you know what I mean. If you were in my shoes, would you marry while you were still j. g.?"
 of course!" she said. Why must the image of Ward Fenning come between her and Dwight?
 'That settles it! I'm going to do it. Oh, Judy, I've thought and thought about it. IT guess you know how a man feels about a girl. And yet I kept thinking maybe it wasn't the right thing to do."
 She stood very still. Now he'd put his arms around her. But he didn't. He leaned against the chain, his eyes looking out into the darkness ahead.
 He turned to her. He said earn estly, T appreciate everything you're done for me. It's been grand, knowing you, Judy. You're SO Navy = your whole family - we've had good times, haven't we? And I want you to keep on help ing me, if you can. You see" He stopped. His fingers curled into a fist. "You see, she's not Navy"
 Judys heart missed beat. For one still moment, she did not believe that she had heard right. But she managed a smile and tried to ask steadily, What did you say, Dwight?"
 T said she's not Navy. The girl I'm going to marry"
 Now it came, the sudden, lost feeling. The dive of her heart, and the quick, pounding blood at her temples. He hadn't been mean ing Judy Alcott at all, when he talked of marriage! Some other girl-some girl who wasn't Navy!
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-11-08
CHAPTER II

But even as the words left her lips, her heart sang. What had she done? Whatever had egged her into throwing that lie into Jacks teeth? Because Dwight hadn't asked her to marry him at all! He'd been atten- tive, and he'd kissed her. But he had never proposed to her.
 Jacks eyes showed his hurt. He said, I'm sorry, Judy. IT didn't know" His shoulders seemed to sag.
 She felt sorry for him. She knew he thought of her as little sister to be protected, and he'd meant well, warning her of what he thought were Dwight's inten- tions. But she couldn't help say- ing, You're jaundiced, Jack. You're unhappy on your plane car- rier, you want to get back to Lake hurst, and it's soured you on everything. You see Dwight get ting along, in line for promotion, and it-it gets your goat, I guess" ]"
 His eyes flashed. That's not so! I wouldn't be jealous of a-of a rank-worshiper like him! I'll get ahead on my own, without help from any relatives in Washington or any admirals, eiCner!"
 She hadn't meant to hurt him. She said inadequately. Forgive me. I guess we've both said things we didn't mean"
 T know everybody laughs at me because still believe in dirigibleS. I know they think there's a chance I'll be passed over. But I won't be. I'm good pilot, and love my work. I'm just as good in the squadron as I was with the Akron. They don't pass over men who work like I do! At least, I don't depend on currying favor among the women relatives of in- fluential officers for my promo tions!"
 Her fingers frightened on the cold chain of the ship rail. She cried, That's enough"
 And just then a figure came out of wardroom hatch close by. He was silhouetted against the light for a moment and then they heard his fcotstep on the deck as be came toward them. "Hi!" he said. T missed you" The piano had stopped. Judy had a vision of her father and Captain Lane getting out of the backgammon board. Dwight was saying, Am I busting up anything?' His tone was assured, as if he knew she would welcome him. "Lieutenant Hanley was just leav- ing" said Judy evenly.
 They watched him go, his back very straight. Dwight stood close to Judy. It gave her courage. The little regret that stirred inside her was stilled. Jack deserved just what he got for talking to her like that!
 Dwight took her arm, and walked toward the bow of the ship. nod ding to the young ensign who was officer of the deck. He was aim 1essly walking up and down in front of the Starboard gangway.
 Jack Hanley had come to din- ner here tonight only because he had persuaded a classmate to ask
