YOUNG DEMOCRATS
BY DREW PEARSON and BOB ALLEN
(Co-Authors Of The Washington Merry Go -Round)

Pat Beacon, West vrginia's
Young Democrat leader, will not
be chairman of the national ex-
ecutive committee, and thereby
hangs a very sad tale - for
Beacon.
A candidate for president of the
organization at the Pittsburgh
convention last August, Beacon
withdrew in favor of the victor,
Matt Adams Of Chicago, in pri-
vate understanding that he was
to get an important committee
appointment. A few weeks ago a
number Of Young Democrat state
officers received letters from Bea-
com that he would visit them
shortly to discuss important mat
tiers.
AS his letterhead bore the title
Chairman, National Executive
Committee" they assumed he was

engaged in Young Democrat BUSH
ness. But when he called on them
he didn't talk organization af-
fairs, instead tried to line them
up for NC Nuts presidential
boom.
Complaints to Adams at this
violation of the rule barring ma
tional Young Democrat officials
from boosting any particular can
didate brought the reply that
Beacon was not a national officer.
He had not been named chairman
of the executive committee.
Beacon had been premature
and now 1t is doubtful whether he
will get any committee appoint
ment at all.

stand that one subordinate, william
Luedtke, paid Mr.. Kirchman $500
in cash for legal services performed
BY Mr.. Murray In behalf Of Of
ficers Of the German American Set
Element League, a bund affiliate,
who were In legal difficulties in
Riverhead, L. I. Luedtke testified
that he paid 1t.
"Innuendoes were created by the
defense that Mr.. Murray lied, Mr..
Mccarthy said, "but when Jim
Murray produced his records to
show that no such money had been
paid, nothing more was said about
the lying, but the inference was
made. The evidence has destroyed
1t.
I'VE claim this defendant stole
that $500 on July 8, 1888 and, to
deceive those who might guide
themselves by the bund books, he
made false entries in the check
book stub and In the bund's legal
defense book to indicate that the
$500 went to Murray for legal serv-
ices"
The case Is nearing its close and
might be finished today.

Atty. James Murray's
Integrity Wins Praise
Prosecutor in Fritz Kuhn Case Defends Native Water
burian From Inferences Made During N. Y. Trial

Atty. James d. O. Murray, native
Waterburian and one Of New York's
best known criminal lawyers, who
defended former Mayor Frank Hayes
in the local conspiracy trial, came
in for some nice bouquets" and his
name was mentioned several times
in the sensational Fritz Kuhn trial
in New York yesterday.
The occasion was denunciation
Of Kuhn and his lawyers by Herman
J. Mccarthy, assistant district at
torney. Atty. Mccarthy began his
summation in the case yesterday
morning and spoke well into the
afternoon.
Referring to the irnuendo in the
case that Kuhn paid Atty. Murray
$500, which was denied by Atty.
Murray, the assistant district attor-
ney said:
"Now about James D. G. Murray.
He never was on my side in a case
in court. He always has opposed
me, but I'll take Jim Murray's
word as I would take his bond.
''This old courtroom has seen
many lawyers come and go, but 1t
never before impressed one that
had the contemplate audacity to
call Murray a liar and a thief"
Taking up the James d. @. MUIR
ray count, which accuses the de-
PENDANT of stealing $500 from the
bund, Atty Mccarthy told the jury
that the evidence Of the theft was
replete with undisputed testimony
pointing to the larceny. One could
not accept Kuhn's assertion that
Mr.. Murray was paid the money un-
less he regarded the prominent
Criminal lawyer and his associate.
Daniel Kirschman, as liars.

Says Raising
OF Submarine
Will Be Slow

Portsmouth, N. H., June 1.-(AP)
Asserting he was satisfied with the
progress of salvage work on the
sunken submarine Squalus, Rear Ad-
miral c. w. Cole said today it was
important that the public should
realize this is a necessarily a slow,
tedious taslzP'
In charge of the work since the
Squalus sank a week ago Tuesday,
the admiral declared the work was
proceeding according to routine, with
effort now under way TO blow out
600 tons of water from the water
filled aft compartments which house
the 26 dead.
The forward sections of the sub
mersible already have been placed
under air pressure, and when buoy
ancy is induced into the remainder
of the craft pontoons will be brought
out for the actual raising process.
For every ten minutes of work by
a diver under the 40 fathoms of
water, there is IS minutes of dead
time while the diver is being lowered
and raised.
James Mcdonald, master diver,
agreed the task would be slow, but
added, well get her up.''

More Espionage Work
Going on There Than
Ever Before, Murphy
Declares; Vanden-
berg Warns of Ever
Expanding P ublic
Debt

Washington, June lap
Attorney General Murphy
announced today the Justice
Department was tightening it's
counter espionage activities on
the west coast, where the num-
ber Of military, naval and avia-
ton bases make special vigil
ance' necessary.
Asked why this activity had been
Quickened, Murphy said: Because
we think it ought to be done. We
are taking adequate measures"
He added there is a great deal"
more espionage on the west coast
than ever before. Wherever neces-
sary, he said, efforts will be made to
deal with espionage on the east coast.
Other developments:
Senator Vandenburg, Republican,
Michigan, asserted in the Senate
that Congress would merely be "post
poning the evil day" of a $45,OOO,-
600 debt by approving legislation to
lift present restrictions on the is
suance Of government bonds. Never
theless, Vandenberg said he, thought
Congress had no alternative but to
enact bill which would permit the
Treasury to issue long term bonds
up to the legal debt limit. Such
bonds now are restricted to a total
of S30,000,000
Herbert E. CASTOR, of Oregon and
New York, was nominated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to be an assistant
secretary of the Treasury. CASTOR,
who has been serving as special as
sistant to Secretary Morgenthau,
would succeed Wayne Taylor, fiscal
assistant secretary, who resigned
about six months ago.

London, June British
official sources expressed belief to-
day that Soviet Russia eventually
would be brought into the British
French front, but said Russian insis-

states on her borders presented a
difficult problem"
There was no official comment on
the speech by Soviet Premier and
Foreign Commissar Molotoff, reject
ing the latest British-French pro-
posals, but one spokesman pointed
out that MOlotoff himself said the
negotiations still were under way.
The foreign office awaited a for
NAL note from Moscow before deter
mining the specific points at vari-
ance.
Molotoff's speech indicated the
main point was how the proposed
British-French-Soviet mutual assis-
tance pact would apply to other Eu-
ropean states. MOlotoff said it must
guarantee all countries on Russia's
western borders - Finland, Latvia,
Poland, Roumania and others.
The British-French proposals have
provided for Russian military aid in
event Britain and France were in
volved in war, carrying out guaran-
tees to Poland, Roumania, Greece
and Turkey, but no mention was
made of the Baltic nations. The pro-

The treaty, to last ten years,

Freedom in wartime trade was
interpreted generally as a con-
cesSiOn to Denmark, and as de-
