torium should be called on local

eral taxes in prospect.

WARSAW (via Berlin, Jan. g.
Warsaw's little American colony of
68 has found guardian angels in the
Rev. Gather P. Warfield, American
Methodist missionary, and his Sec
retary, Ruth Lawrence.
High among their accomplish
ments has been success in per-
suading the German government to
grant special food rations to the
Americans still here in this former
Polish capital.
(Mr. Warfield, former resi-
dent Of Rockville, Md, fed from
Warsaw September 7, 1889,
shortly after the German inva-
sion. Crossing Eastern Poland,
he ran into Soviet Russian forces
and spent six weeks as war

Department Criticized.
The Farm Bureau report stated
the present county health depart
ment showed serious lack of ad-
ministration supervision, and as
serted little work is being done by
some employees. The services rec
commended in DR.. Ellicott's proposed
budget could be provided with more
efficient administration and ar
rangements for requiring employees
to spend more time in the field, the
report contended
Failure of health department in
spectors to complete dairy farm
scores so that from February l to
November l last year farmers lost
$4,000 in sales, was claimed in the
report
Replying to the criticisms, Dr.
Ellicott said that his milk inspec-
tion staff was as efficient as pos
sible under present circumstances.

TomadeI|i's Plea
For Bond Cut 10 Be
Heard Tomorrow
Return Of Property
Seized by F. B. !. Agents
Also to Be Sought

bond, which has kept Count" Jwan
J. Tomadelli behind bars since his
arrest on fraud charges here Tues

w. Morris in District Court to-
morrow.
Attorney Myron G. Ehrlich will
make the request for reduction of
the bond, the largest ever set by

ham c. Turnage, before whom Mr.

quest for reduction. Mr.. Ehrlich
said he would also seek return of
paintings and other property which

Commissioner Turnage that Mr.
Tomadelli obtained the money on
representations of perfecting a
process for making heatless light

that Mr.. Tomadelli had obtained
money through false representa-
tions" of a group of paintings which
he owned.

charges, and when he was unable
to raise the bond was remanded to

RooseveIt-Petain
Message Texts
Made Public
President Wishes France
Peace With Liberty,
Equality, Fraternity

President Roosevelt expressed the
hope in a New Year message to
Marshal Petain "thet the French
people may soon enjoy again the
blessings of peace with liberty, equal
ity and fraternity" it was disclosed
today.
The Presidents message to the
chief of the French government was
sent yesterday, acknowledging New
Year greeting from Marshal Petain
which was delayed in transmission.
The State Department made pub
lie the exchange of greetings today.
The text of the Presidents message
follows:
Your very kind message of good
will for me and my family, and for
the prosperity of the United States
was delayed in transmission and has
just reached me. I hasten to convey
to you my deep appreciation
My heart goes out TO France In
these days of her travail, and pray
that the French people may soon
once again enjoy the blessings Of
peace with liberty, equality and fra
ternity.
Please accept my most cordial
personal wishes for the coming
year"
Marshal Petain's greeting, dated
January 2, read as follows:
In this new year which is Begin
ming I wish to extend to you the
personal good wishes I feel for you
and your family, as we'll as for the
prosperity of the United States"
President Roosevelt's reference to
hopes that France soon might enjoy
''the blessings of peace with liberty,
equality and fraternity" made plain
his opinion of the type of peace i'm
posed upon France by Germany.
The message. dispatched coincident
with the arrival in Vichy of Admiral
Leahy as the new American Ambas-
Sador to France, indicated the i'm
portance attached by this Govern
ment to the possibility of France
steering clear of closer cooperation
with Germany.
