Deputy Clerk Questioned.
Only two witnesses were called
before Judge Julien Gum when the
investigation was resumed yester-

to testify on the grounds that he
might incriminate himself. He ad-
mitted he had voted for Mr.. Fen

The major portion of the hearing
was taken up with questioning of
Will Bond Lay, deputy clerk in the
Office of j. A. Gardner, clerk of the
Circuit Court. of Wise County, who
testified Thursday.
Mr.. Lay said the county's pre-
cinct poll books were on hand when
the vote was canvassed the day
after election. After the canvass,
he said, he placed them with the
ballots in a filing cabinet in a vault
in the clerks office, and declared
that the first information he had

or two after August 13 when Mr..
Gardner, his chief, told him about

ton, that duplicate poll books were
not sent to the county Democratic

celved the returns from several pre-
cincts in Mr.. aBtes' Office, and left
several of the envelopes containing
the ballots and other data in the
treasurer's vault when he left about
IL pm. Other returns which he
received that night. he said, he took
to the clerks Office.
Mr.. Lay said some of the poll books
returned from the precincts after
the election were inclosed with the
ballots in sealed envelopes. Others,
he said, were folded and stuck
under strings tied around the en-
velopes containing the ballots.
He admitted that the clerks Office
and vault are frequently left open
and unattended, but said there was
no evidence of a forcible entry to
the vault and that none of the other
records were disturbed or tampered

NEW YORK, Nov.1.-America
recognizes the special security
interests" of the Soviet Union in
Eastern and Central European
countries and will never join
any groups in those countries in
hostile intrigue" against Russia,
Secretary of State Byrnes says.
Far from opposing, we have SYM
pathized with, for example, the ef-
fort of the Soviet Union to draw
into closer and more friendly asso-
citation with her Central and East
ern European neighbors," Mr. Byrnes
said last night at the New York
Herald Tribune Forum on current
problems.
1--WE are fully aware of her spe-
cial security interests in those coun-
tries and we have recognized those
interests in the arrangements made
for the occupation and control OF
the former enemy states"
At the same time, the Secretary
expressed confidence Russia would
keep her hands off the Americas
and he implied American favor. for
kind of Monroe Doctrine arrange
ment under Soviet leadership in
Eastern and Central Europe.
Calling for complete integration
of regional systems into the world
wide system of United Nations, Mr..
ByrneS said that in this atomic age
there must be one world for all of
us or there will be no world for any
of U.S."
He urged establishment of gov
ernments fashioned out of the,
choice of the people, and added:
THE Soviet Union has also de-.
clared that it does not wish to force
the Soviet system on its neighbors.
The whole hearted acceptance of
this principle by all the United;
Nations will greatly strengthen the,
bonds of friendship among nations
everywhere"
Mr.. Byrnes said the United States
cannot recognize regional arrange
ments as substitute for world
system" designed to preserve peace.
I'VE can appreciate the deter
mination of the people of the Soviet
Union that never again will they
tolerate the pursuit of policies in
those countries deliberately directed
against the Soviet Unions security
and way of life.
Won't Join ANTI Soviet Intrigue,
"And America will never join any
groups in those countries In hostile
intrigue against the Soviet Union.
We are also confident that the
Soviet Union would not join in
hostile intrigue against us in this
hemisphere"
Mr.. Byrnes said the inter-Amer-
ican system allows no interference
In the internal affairs of members
countries, yet "its not intended to
give them free rein to plot against
the freedom of Others"
I'VE have learned by bitter expert
ence in the past 10 years." he said,
that NaZi and Fascist plans for ex-
ternal aggression started with tyran-
nies at home which were falsely de-
Tended as matters of purely local
concern.
"We have learned that tyranny
anywhere must be watched, for it
may come to threaten the security
OF neighboring nations and soon be-
come the concern of all nations"
When the common security is
threatened, he said, the Americas
consult upon common policies for
our mutual protection"
Calling for governments fashioned
out of the choice of the people. Mr..
Byrnes said the United States had
practiced that policy in the Western
Hemisphere.
