Parley; Going Home

SAN FRANCISCO, May ! tUP)
Soviet Foreign Commissar Mo-
lotov is expected TO return shortly
TO Moscow, il was learned today
but the decision was attributed tc
the imminent end of the Euro
pean war rather than conference
disputes with the Americans and
British.
The exact date of Molotov's de-
parture is expected 10 be fixed In
the next "a hours.
British Foreign Secretary Eden
who is. under similar pressure tC
get back to London, will stay in
San Francisco at least two weeks
more. il was understood, and
probably through the duration OF
the conference.
PLANS NO SURPRISE
1t was learned that Molotoy
Indicated when he came TO the
United States that his stay would
be brief. Some quarters said that
he already had remained here
longer than planned.
His impending departure cast
an air of urgency over conference
deliberations. Although delegates
have been here a week, the or
ganiZation of the commissions and
committees which will do the
actual work is only being accom-
plished today.
1t was learned that:
. The United States would pre-
sent to the conference 16
amendments 10 the Dumbarton
Oaks plan for world organizs-
tion.
. The United States plan for
international trusteeship takes
into account four basic factors
the future security of the
United States; future world Sc
curity and stabilization of inter-
national relations; the problems
of dependent peoples; natural
resources in such areas.
The United Nations subcom-
mittee on world court has failed
to agree on whether 10 continue
the present world court, on
system for nominating judges,
or on the question of compulsory
jurisdiction for the court.

meat purchaser to the storekeeper, to the
meat packer, to the man who grows the
livestock.
There must be motive power to keep
that chain running, and that motive power
is profit. 1t is profit that keeps ranchers
and farmers producing livestock; profit
keeps meat packers slaughtering, dressing
and delivering meat to retailers; profit keeps
retailers selling meat in their stores.
We at Swift & Company we'll know that
continuing loss anywhere along the line
would mean that all of us would suffer.

BROKE INTO NEWS

Hooper first broke into the
news of the graft grand jury at
Lansing in 1913, while it was be-
ing conducted by former Atty.
Gen. Herbert J. RuShton.
on Sept 81. 1913, William ].
Burns, former secretary of the
Wayne County Medical Society,
was accused by Hooper, then state
representative from the Albion
district of attempted bribery.
Hooper accused Burns of offer
ing him free trip 10 California
in an attempt to influence medical
legislation in 1889. On the
strength of Hooper's testimony
Burns was arrested and brought
before the Carr graft jury
The case against Burns was
dropped after Special Prosecutor
Kim Sigler took over the graft
prosecutions.

CASE DROPPED

Rushton, then prosecuting the
graft cases, told the Times today
that he never could understand"
why the case against Burns was
dropped as the evidence advanced
by Hooper seemed complete"
Hooper revealed what he said
was an unwritten code of ethics
among Michigan lawmakers when
questioned by Thomas f. Chawke,
Detroit attorney, who represented
Burns in a preliminary eXamIna-
ton.
"You didn't tell anyone about
the alleged offer in 1889, 1910
or 1912, although you must have
known such q thing is a Crim-
inal offense." Chawke said. why
didn't you?"
LEGISLATIVE ETHICS
Because II isn't regarded as
good form among members of
the Legislature to report such
things unless compelled to do so
under OATH" Hooper answered.
Hooper was then chairman of
the Public Health Committee of
the lower house He knew that
an amendment which would al
low subscribers 10 medical health
insurance to choose an osteopath
was going 10 be placed IN the
1889 group medicine bill. SO did
Burns.
He accused Burns OF offering
the California trip in the event
the bill came out Of Hooper's
committee without the amend
ment
