realizing that she and China

Argentina will collaborate against
the Axis after her elections in

The spokesman declined to elab-
crate, but was emphatic in insist
ing that a wrong Interpretation
had been placed on Castillo'S state
ment. which brought consterna-
ton TO the inter-American con-
ference of foreign ministers as
sembled here.

hope among conference members
that Argentina would fall in line.

II Hot for Him

Because Auditor Ray d. Schnei'
der could make it hot for him
George Weiss. head of the Detroit
Packing House Market, testified
today at the custer h earfn
against Schneider that he paiC
hi mapproximately $4,000 for cam
paign expenses.
Weiss, who had virtual mo.
nopOly on the sale OF meat 10 the
county, testified before Probate
Judge Maurice A. Trip in tho
County Building that he thought
Schneider could make trouble
for me.
TELLS OF MEETING
"After I paid him 1 thought I
had made a mistake" Weiss
said.
"He could put me on the spot.
He could vote against my ac-
count. He could order the book
keeper 10 hold back money on
my account. There were a dozen
ways he could make II hot for
me-"
Under direct examination. Weiss
testified he first met Schneider
about a year and a half after
Schneider took office and Schnei-
der asked him if he could help
with campaign expenses.
Weiss said he gave Schneider
5000 and then in 1887 gave him
81 900 because Schneider said he
was in trouble with the income
tax department.
In 1896. Weiss said he gave
Schneider $1,000 and in 1910.
81 200 Weiss said he never asked
for repayment OF the money.
