intimation whom he would
choose to succeed Nowicki as
budget director in this import
ant period of shaping the state
budget for presentation to the
state legislature in January.
In a one-paragraph letter to
Charles S. Porritt, Democratic

major in the United States
Army, must withdraw and de-
cline the honor of nomination
for the office of auditor general

report Oct. 6 to Adjutant Cen
eral Ulio in Washington for
service in the transportation d.
vision of the army. He previous
ly has passed a physical exam
nation for military service, but
accepted the auditor general
nomination when it appeared for
q time that his plans to enter
the army had been side-tracked
in Washington.
Nowicki, in a formal state
ment to neWsmen said My duty
Is ciear-cut, I offer to serve my
country in the armed forces and
I have been accepted for duty.
That call naturally must take
priority over every other con-
sideration."

Nowicki had been a strong
man among Van Wagoner's ad-

Russian shock troops, attack

A bulletin from Nazi field

President Roosevelt last week

The bill amends the original allot-
ment act which barred any payments
until after November /.
Chairman Reynolds d., N. c. of
the Senate Military Affairs committee
has expressed doubt whether the leg
islatfon actually would speed pay
ment of sums accumulated since the
law went into effect June 1, quoting
War Department officials as saying
it would be impossible to make COM
putations and write checks before
Nov. 1.
However, N avy Department
spokesman indicated they could make
payments Immediately.
Dependents of privates, first class
privates, corporals, and line SER
geants in the Army and their counter
erparts in the other armed services
are beneficiaries under the allotment
law. A married soldier may allot
$22 month to his wife with the

Mooney once more began his

denied him the writ for which he
petitioned. Again the supreme
court refused TO interfere.
When Olson came TO Office
Mooney placed his case squarely

He and Billings contended they
were victims of perjured evidence,
that the pre-war hysteria in San
Francisco forced the prosecution
TO find goat" for the affair, and
that they became the victims.
Their fight was indicated on
Jan. z. 1889, when Olson pardoned
Mooney and short time later
committed Billings sentence TO
