At 5 am. three unidentified

Hull denounced opponents of the
program whose reckless claims"
he described as fragrant and un-
scrupulous suppression and misuse
of material facts. He charged that
they ARE constantly seeking to
confuse and mislead the country" p"
The principal basis for his re-
quest that the program be extended
was that one of its main objectives
was the creation of sound interna-
tional trade relations which will
be an essential problem OF post
war reconstruction.
Experience after the World wal

he said, have emphasized two basic
proportions:
The first of these is that our
nation, and every nation, can en-

The second is that peaceful

Lillian Richards
Little VanisIles:
Husband Missing

Johnstone asked her to stay in the
office while an audit was being
made.
I didn't explain anything to
her, except that we were checking
up. She slumped into a chair,
Johnstone recalled.
All day Monday. while Johnstone
and auditors worked. Mrs. Little
was a silent observer. Tuesday she
did not show up for work.
BY late Wednesday night enough
of the audit had been completed
to show that about $500 was miss
ing from July water receipts. Audi
tors worked Thursday on records
for other months.
The irregularities appar emily
started directly after June 30, the
end of the fiscal year, and the
point at which the annual audit
stops.
Johnstone said he found that
many receipt stubs were missing,
although the accounts were marked
paid on the account sheets. He
explained that the routine check
each month is made by adding the
figures on receipt stubs and check
ing the total against that OF cash
received. If stubs are missing, there
is no way 10 detect IL without 60
ing over all the accounts in the
city. This is normally done once
a year, during the regular audit.
Mrs. Little was bonded TO the ex-
tent OF $4,000. Jonnstone declared.
There is something going on,
but I don't quite know what it is.
Our water receipts aren't as large
as they should be-" Oswalt quoted
Johnstone as saying some weeks
ago. Investigators reported nothing
tangible, except that Mrs. Little
was entertaining extensively in
manner that did not parallel her
salary.

Britain Ready TO Publish Summary
Of III-Fated Russian NEGOTIATIONS

German mona asgreSSlOn pact.
Diplomats say that it is now
known that during the talks Russia
intimated a desire for arrangements
under which the British, French
and Russian naval forces would be
permitted 10 use naval bases on
the coasts of Finland and Latvia,
the Finnish Aaland Islands and the
Esthonian Islands at the entrance
to the gulf of Riga. The British and
French governments, according TO
diplomats, made known their un-
willingness to countenance action
which would infringe the neutrality
of the Baltic republics concerned.
Diplomats said that from the doc
uments to be made public the infer
ence might be drawn that Sir Will
liam Seeds, British ambassador TO
Russia. late in June, during the
long diplomatic discussions over
the alliance, anticipated a Russian
invasion of Poland.

British Fighters Drive Off German
Planes Attacking Strategic Bases

The ministry made two announce
ments, the first saying that German
planes had been driven out To sea
near Newcastle, that no bombs
were dropped but that one house
was damaged slightly by falling
anti-aircraft shell splinters.
German planes succeeded in
reaching the coast at various points
from the Thames estuary to Scot
land. 1t was regarded as the most
widespread visit of German recon-
naissance planes since tn start OF
the war, arousing speculation as to
whether the flights heralded an
aerial Blit2krieg.

Explorer Tells Of Snake Worship in
Deep Africa; Recounts Lion Battle

He accompanied the Armand
Denis-Leila Roosevelt movie-making
expedition to Burma, India, Nepal,
China and Africa.
In Burma, he said. they picked
up an American indian named
Micheal Joseph Thunderface,
stranded from a wild west show,
who directed them to a lost tribe"
of ~ snake worshippers near the
Siamese border. The tribe never
had been seen before by white men.
They got the priestess, Has-Pu. to
pose in a snake charming exhibit
ton.
In Africa they were photograph
ing lions from a camouflaged car,
using antelope meat as bait TO
get the lions within camera range.
There was a drought and game
was scarce" Davis said, 80, after
getting our pictures We wanted to
retrieve the bait to use again the
next day. We honked the horn ana
drove at the lions but after while
that had no more effect on the
lions than il would have on a
Times Square jaywalker.
so I hit upon the idea Of getting
a big sling-shot and peppering the
lions. First, they thought they were
being attacked by their fellows and
we got some magificent fight pic
lures. Gradually they realized il
was something beyond their COM
prehension and they would sink
away when the barrage began"
The LEG roWers' in Burma piled
the Salween river in dugoutS fash
ioned from trees. The tribe was
the Inthas. About 100 of them
rode in each boat, welding the
paddles with their legs.

LONDON. Jan Il. lUP)-Great
Britain is preparing TO publish next
week diplomatic blue book" con-
tanning a selected collection OF 95
documents on allied-Russian ne
gotiations for an alliance aimed
against German aggression. It was
understood today.
The documents and their imph-
cations as they will be interpreted
by diplomats are calculated to
cause a sensation. But they have
been so edited, it was understood, as
TO give Russia no basis to sever
diplomatic relations because of their
disclosure.
It was expected that the principal
document would be a summary OF
conversations held by British
French and Russian military dele
cations at Moscow between August
/. and August IS, when the allied
missions left for home two days

Little was known of Gardner s
early life. His first brush with
death came in 1909 when, following
his conviction OF smuggling arms
TO Carranza' rebel army, he eS-
capped from a Mexican firing squad.
The following year he stole tray
of diamonds from San Francisco
jewelry store and was sent to Sal.
Quentin. He won a parole by help
ing TO quell a prison riot in 1912
and led a comparatively quiet life
thereafter until following a drink
ing spree he robbed a mail truck
in San Diego OF S95 600 in securi-
ties.
For the San Diego robbery he
was given a 25 year term at Nc
NELL Island federal penitentlary.
He overpowered his guards ana
escaped near Portland, Ore, on
June 7, 1920.
A year later, a Southern Pacific
mail train was robbed OF $175,00L
near Roseyille, Calf, and Gardnei
was identified as the masked deS-
perado who turned the trick. He
was recaptured May %, 1921, three
days after the crime, while en-
crossed in a poker game in Rose
vile.
Within 10 days Gardner had re-
ceived another long sentence, Sc
years at Mcneil Island.

He was recaptured, lodged be-
hind the bars at McNeill. TWO
months later he led a break over tht
prison wall GUARDS killed one part
ner and wounded another, but
Gardner disappeared.
From San Francisco a week later
he wrote a newspaper friend the
details Of his escape and enclosed
letter 70 President Warren G.
Harding asking a pardon.
His final fling at crime was two
months later. He tried TO rob q
Santa Fe mail train near Phoenix,
Ariz., but clerk beat him 10 the
draw, overpowered and ignominous-
ly sat on him until help arrived.
He went TO Leayenworth prison
for 25 years. He was shifted alter
nately 10 Atlanta, back TO Leaven-
worth, Alcatraz, and back TO Leay-
enWorth.
He was freed in 1887 after serV-
ing less than i6 years OF mis- term.
HIS good behavior prompted his
early release.
