Before Judge Pugsley imposed

ter protest, declaring he had
been convicted wrongfully. The

declared his duty was to impose

a lust for money"
In sentencing r a nney and

Not Exactly

BY JAMES T. CARTER

ONEW YORK, July 2-(R-
No coy nest is No. 500 West
End avenue, where service
hasn't been so good lately.
Ten days ago a sewer backed
up in the basement of the 49,
story apartment house.
It flooded the elevator pit,
Tapped into machinery.
The elevator stalled. Hot
weather didn't help tenants
who, thirsty after c m b in &
stairs, ran for the cold water
tap.
No cold water. Pump also was
affected. Oh, we'll, tenants
thought, a nice hot bath will
calm jaded bodies and nerves.
No hot water, either.
Tenants ran to telephone their
complaints. No telephone. Water
in cellar fixed that, too.
LIFE PRETTY TOUGH,
Vcl, WIlaI Will tllC uCoI dIIu
all, life in No. 500 was pretty
tough, especially when garbage
began piling up in the halls ow-
ing to refusal of some tenants to
cart 1t downstairs.
Everything could have been
set right in q jiffy If Harry
Safer, president of the company
leasing the building, had had .
few extra dollars for repairs.
But Harry Safer didn't have
any extra dollars and In fact
owed the building owner. 8. N.
Petchers, plenty in back rent,
$3.50 to be exact.
AS tenants began moving out,
one by one, the courts stepped
in and ruled that Safer surren-
der possession of the house.
They also ordered the furnish
ings sold today to satisfy Sal
fer's creditors.

But Clock Move
in Secrecy

oTOKYO, July a (R - The
government announced today 1t
had chosen a policy for coping
with the crisis arising from the
Russian German war and foreign
minister Yosuke Matsuoka told
the nation that "a really grave
state of emergency is develop
ing before our eyes throughout
the world, particularly in east
Asia with direct concern to our
country"
TREND UNDISCLOSED
The nature of the govern
ment's decision, even its general
trend, remained undisclosed de-
spite statements issued by the
cabinet and Matsuoka after a
morning conference at the i'm
perial palace in which generals
and admirals of the high conn.,
mand met with key members of
the cabinet in the present of
Emperor Hirohito.
Domei, japanese news agency,
declared that quarters close to
the government" indicated the
empires course would be dis
closed by action rather than
words.
PURSUE POLICY
while maintaining secrecy
externally the government in
tends to pursue its policy in
ternally to translate into action
whatever decisions were taken
at the imperial conference" Do
mel said.
The cabinet statement said
merely that "a decision was
taken at an imperial conference
held this morning on import
ant national policies to meet the
current international situation"
Matsuoka offered this ampli-
fication:
1T goes without saying that
the situation arising from the
German-Soviet war can not be
met with such a simple idea as
to think of it merely as the
outbreak of war between Ger
many and the Soviet.
WATCH AND WAIT
I'VE therefore intend to watch
the development Of the situation
with the greatest care and prep
arations in which we can place
out confidence as well as with
firm determination.
n feel that 4 really grave
state of emergency is develop
ing before our eyes throughout
the world, particularly in east
Asia, with direct concern to our
country.
"The more serious the situa-
ton the more calm and COM
posed must our nation be and
with the unity of all classes they
must, in response to the august
will of his majesty, endeavor
not to make even the slightest
mistake in the direction of the
path of our country"
