 He said that Hines turned to Dodge and said.
 Do you know George? (Wcinberg) This is one of Dutch Schultz's boys. This is where am getting my money for your campaign"
 Dodge took the 5000, he said, and smiled.
 In all, he said, he delivered $15, ,000 to Hines for Dodge's campaign; Davis delivered another $l5 ,0OO, and they gave $2.000 more after the elec- tion to pay bills.
 Judge Ferdinand Pecora looked down quizzically from the bench. He was a candidate for district attor- ncy in that election, which Dodge won.
 Strykcr tried to draw from Vein berg an admission that he had con ferred in jail with Davis and Schoenhaus as to what they would all say in court, and that district attorneys officers had removed them from jail after they agreed to turr states evidence and kept them ir hotels where they could "lie in the sun and play badminton."

Balkan entente has made a friend- gesture to a former foe by recogniz- ing Bulgaria's right to re-arm; and now the Little Entente is courting Hungary.
 The objectives of both the Little Entente-originally sponsored by France to draw ring around Ger many were sharply emphasized this week. The Entente powers, meeting at Bled. recognized Hungary's right 1 to re-arm in exchange for her pledge regarded as comparable in ineffectiveness to the Kellogg -Bri- and anti-war treaty pledges. Hungary Already Rearming
 The truth was that Hungary al- ] ready was re-arming in defiance of the treaty of Trianon and the Little Entente merely made 1t official. In addition. the three powers agreed to tighten their own economic col- Liberation and to seek to draw Hungary closer to them economical ly. Importance of tha faction cen- tcrs on the Danube river, which supplies the life blood of Central European economy and which Ger many is now attempting to dom- | mate.
 From the other side of the pie ture, NaZi Fuehrer Adolf Hitler was hard at work entertaining Hun gary's regent, Admiral Nicholas Horthy; showing him with impress sive ceremony the power of the Ger man navy; talking presumably of cloSerd relations between greater Germany and the nation which once was united with Austria as a great | empire.
 Hitler wants Hungary to go along with his plans. The Hungarian king dom, to which much military equip ment of the former Austrian army has been sent, forms long geo. graphical prong at the end of the German pincers around Czcchoslo- vakia. Germany is the dominant trade factor in all Central Europe despite the handicaps of her barter system of exchange and the recent efforts of Britain and France to strengthen their economic position, chiefly through loans. The Reich buys approximately three-quarters of Hungary's farm products. But Hungary 50 far is playing her hand carefully, For 20 years she was the underdog, her borders sliced off, her proud Magyar population di- vided T00,000 in Czechoslovakia, l. 500,000 in Roumania, 500,000 in Ju- goslavia) and her army limited.

 Chairman J. Francis Smith in his statement in the evening papers says that the ticket he presents for the 18th senatorial district represents no candidate. Do you not, as voters from this district, feel that you are en- titled to know for whom you are voting to represent you as senator in the next General Assembly,"
 Proud to Be Candidate
 "The ticket which I ask you to vote today presents delegates who are favorable to my candidacy and if this ticket is successful will be proud to be your candidate and If elected I will represent this district to the best of my ability"
 On the other hand, Mir. Conley has announced that he is not seek ing control" of the delegation. Some doubt was raised today by support CTS of the Pickett ticket-that is the ticket which is known to have strength among those committed earlier to the candidacy of Repre- sentative Mahaney as well as some of the leading Smith delegates whether study of the delegate list of the Smith committee would beai out contention of MT. Colney as re- gards commitment of preponder- ance of these delegates.

sition undoubtedly is being bettered. Because of her geographic and eco- homie position, she is able to de- mand substantial concessions from those who seek her favor. Already they are being offered, and Buda- pest knows how to bargain.
 Being courted by both the Little entente and Germany, Hungary is coy. She's going to make the most of her opportunities.
 Huge Nazi Army Parades
 Berlin, Aug. 25 - (U.PD - Adolf Hitler parade 6l 900 troops past Ad- miral Nicholas De Horthy, regent of Hungary, today in breath-taki1g display of Germany's military might.
 It had been expected that 16,000 troops would parade, comparatively few in these days of totalitarian displays, and that any new weapons would be kept away from the eyes of the military attaches in the re- viewing stand. But as the troops marched past the reviewing stand at the Charlottenburg Technical college, it was disclosed that the parade was of gigantic nature, the biggest in Germany since the World War, and that the largest artillery guns since the big bertha of the World War were in it.
 Biggest Parade Of All
 The parade surpassed the ginan- tic display in honor of Premier Benito Mussolini here and the big gest of any parade in Hitler's hon. or. Military attaches started as they saw the guns roll past. The biggest of the field guns seemed to be of 10-inch bore, and their bar rels were at least 90 feet long. They had crews of 30 men each and it took four truck-tractor combina- tions to draw gun and recoil ap- paratus. They saw for the first time new 6-inch field guns with 25- foot barrels and crews of 16; and 16-inch motorized Howitzers.
 Germany Is Gun Pioneer
 (Germany has pioneered in the field of long -barreled guns intend- ed to give long range. During the World War the famous "big Bertha" of the Krupp works fired 264- pound shells 76 miles into Paris over a period of 140 days.-Ed)
 It was reported, as the parade started, that members of the Ma tional Hitler youth organization would be put in "state of readi- ness" between September IS and October 15. Informants suggested that some might work on fortifica- tions, others on harvesting.
 At a state banquet last night, both Horthy and Hitler mentioned Italy as linked in friendship with their own countries, and this caused considerable interest among diplo- mats as possible intimation that Hungary might be drawn closer to, if not aligned with, the Berlin Rome axis.
 Britain Will Aid
 London, Aug. g. - CUP) - The British government intends to en- phasize a previous yelled warning that invasion of Czechoslovakia, in- volving France in war. might also involve Britain. according to every indication today. Two days of con- ferences which Viscount Halifax, foreign minister, held at the foreign office over the European situation made it seem probable that the gov ernment intended to make new statement of policy. Such statement, it was believed, would reaf1irm Prime Minister Neville Chamber lain's declaration in the house of commons on March A in which he said Britain intends to fulfill her

 Bullets spattercd into the plane and into the river. The 17 persons aboard, as the Chinese National company gave the total in an official statement, scattered through the shallow water as they got out of the plane. The water was running swiftly, and plane and swimmers were carried down stream.
