Tear Gas Bomb
LOOsed By Accident


GRACEVILLE-There was some
excitement one afternoon recently
when tenants occupying rooms ov-
er a former county bank building
suddenly smelled gas of some sort,
accompanied by smarting of eyes.
They made their escape as quickly
as possible and called the people
who have charge of the building.
It was soon discovered that some
kids, entering through an unlocked
door on the first floor, had been
investigating the workings of a set
of tear gas burglar devices and
whether through intent or accident,
the thing let go and escaping gas
caused the kids to make a hasty
retreat. The occupants had thought
for a while that some terrible war
was on and tear gas bombs were
dropping from the sky.

Question of the legality or illegal ity of transfers of city funds from one department to another, and their consideration in the annual audit reports of the George H. Kingsley Accounting Company, was the basis of a battle in the Water bury conspiracy trial yesterday af- ternoon, with Attorney Joseph J. Seaman cross ss-examining States Ac- countant Warren M. Brown.
 Summer heat turned the court room into a cauldron, and the heat ed arguments of witness and exam iner intensified the atmosphere.
 Using hypothetical questions and attempting to gain an answer from Brown which would be comparable to situation created in the Wa terbury financial affairs, Seaman worked himself into a sweat and finally appealed to Judge Inglis that he could not get Brown to give 8 responsive answer"
 Brown insisted that the Kingsley audits were in error in that they ac- cepted the transfers. T consider the transfers illegal" said Brown.
 Despite incessant questions from Seaman, Brown would not admit that the Kingsley audits showed "what was done."
 At one time while Seaman was attempting to question Brown he started, Didn't we agree" and he was cut short when Brown inter- rupted, "No. we don't agree"
 Seaman looked appealingly to Judge Inglis who turned to Brown and said, Wait for the question,

Official Soviet Answer

Moscow, June 1-(UP)-Premier- Foreign Minister Vilacheslav Molotov prepared today to dispatch Russia's s formal answer to a British draft treaty providing for a Russian British-French security pact.
 It was forecast that the reply would be sent to London, for deliv- cry to Ivan Maisky, Russian am- bassador, to the foreign office dur ing the weekend if not tomorrow.
 Molotov had warned that Russia would require full assurances of reciprocity as the basis of any treaty into which it entered. He said, ad- dressing the supreme Soviet last night, that Britain and France had recognized the principle of reciproc- ity. But he was suspicious of refer ences to the League of Nations covenant, which might be made the excuse for delay in answering any attack, and of the failure of Britian

nancial relations with his family. Coogan filed suit asking an account ing of the $4,000,000 he said he earne daS child movie star, and in an out of court settlement he was paid approximately $100,000.
 William Rains, attorney for Mrs. Grable, said that the money in- volved in the divorce action was fund of several thousand dollars" in cash and stocks in which Grable claims partial interest. Mrs. Gra- ble contends the money was raised entirely from the daughters pay checks.
 GrabIe Now Broke
 Rains said Grable formerly was wealthy but in recent years had been forced to rely partially upon the earnings of his daughter. Mrs Grable's complaint said that Bettl was the sole owner of the family home, and that her husbands claim to partial ownership was false.
 Grable struck her, she charged and was so "quarrelsome and bru- tai" that she suffered a nervous breakdown. They had been married 31 years.

MUTE GIRL LOST
 IN DENSE WOODS

Dover Plains, N. Y. June 1-UP) "A .0-year-old girl mute was lost today in the dense woods and un- derbrush, unable to signal any of the hundreds of state troopers, Boy Scouts, eco workers and volunteers searching for her. Blonde Virginia Deming lost her voice in infancy. State troopers set bloodhounds on her trail today in the fear she may be lying injured somewhere. The dogs picked up her trail last night but thunderstorm made the quest hopeless then.
 Virginia disappeared in midafter- noon yesterday from the grounds of the Lassing Manor school, private school for children of defective speech. She was brought there Memorial day by her parents, MT. and Mrs, John Deming, of Astoria, Queens, in the hope she might be taught to speak.

French Govt. Would Accept Russian Terms

Baltic guarantees protecting Russia against a direct German attack.
 The opponents of such obligations asserted that the Soviets would be able thereby to plunge Europe into war at their pleasure.
 Government leaders here were of the opinion that the necessity of So- viet participation in the peace front is so great as to outweigh such op- position arguments.
 Many observers believed that France is so eager to obtain the tri- power military alliance that pressure will be brought against the British to meet the Russians halfway, and perhaps accept all of Russia's de- mandS if Moscow proves unyielding.
 Surprise, Irritation
 Semi-official comment in Paris contained both surprise and irrita- tion at Molotov's blunt distrust of the democracies and his suspicion that British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain may yet attempt to revive his "appeasement" policy.
 Some diplomats complained that Molotov's frank language and his categorical listing of demands was incompatible" with the secrecy re- quired for such negotiations.
 A spokesman of the foreign office said the government was confident that an Anglo-French-Soviet mili- tary pact would be concluded, though another week of negotiations would be required to make neces- sary revisions of the draft treaty submitted to Moscow.

 Mrs. Petersen said she had evolved the sharing plan "on a threat" to her life. She said she married Peter sen in 1911, later obtained divorce from her first husband, then re- married Petersen. She was confused as to the time the decree for her divorce would be final so she waited 8 year, and married Petersen 8 third time.
 She said her husband married Mrs. Bertram at Grown Point, Ind, in 1886. She said she was witness to the ceremony. Petersen said he had, motored to Crown Point with two women but that there had been no marriage.

 Jugoslavia, placed in delicate po- sition geographically because ot Italy's recent annexation of Albania and Germany's strong drive to the east own along the Danube, recently agreed to closer collaboration with Germany and Italy.
 In recent state visit to Rome, however, Prince Paul was said to have refused any outright align ment of Jugoslavia with the Rome Berlin axis and to have emphasized in talks with Premier Benito Mus solini, the Belgrade governments IS desire to remain neutral in any war or menace of war.

 German political leaders said they found great satisfaction in last nights Moscow speech of Viacheslav M. Molotov, Soviet premier and for eign commissar, questioning the con- tents of the new Anglo French pro- posals for 8 tri-power military alli- ance to bolster the peace front"
 Molotov's speech, according to Nazi leaders, means there will be further delay in concluding the tri- power negotiations although it was admitted that an eventual agreement is probable.
 We have nothing to say regard ing Molotov's speech" the propa- ganda ministry's spokesman said. Tt W asdirected to London and Paris. Our position remains the same, namely, we are opposed to all efforts to encircle the axis peace front"
