HUGHLETT COLT is GIVEN
THREE YEAR JAIL TERN
CcOntinued from nrsr pager

Colt had succeeded in conceal
ing the misappropriations from
bank officials and examiners for
almost 20 years. Suspicion first
pointed to him during his vacation
in mid-August when a depositor
came to the bank to have interest
credited in his pass book. Bank of
ficials were unable to find any
record of the account, though de-
posits had been neatly entered in
the book They summoned the
FBI and the state bank examin-
ers.
On the same day-August 1S-it
was disclosed in court by Colts
attorney and longtime friend, How
ard E. Lynch, Dover, the former
banker came to Lynch's Office and
told him of the Interpretations.
Colt. Mr.. Lynch said, told him
that he had started taking bank
funds late in the 1920s and increas-
ed the amount of the misanpropri-
ations after the stock market crash
of 1929.
Over the ensuing years he took
more money to cover up his origi-
nal shortages, until the total en-
bezzlements had reached the amaz-
ing sum of $95,991.23, the attor-
ney said.
HE can't make restitution" Mr..
Lynch added. Everything that he
has-everything that his wife and
children have has been offered to
the surety company"
Assistant u. S. Attorney w.
Thomas Knowles, representing the
government, pointed out that Colts
method of misappropriating the
banks funds was made possible by
the ease with which he had access
to the banks records.
Colt, the prosecutor said, merely
accepted deposits from customers,
destroyed the deposit slips and
manipulated the banks deposit rec
ords. Then when he learned that
auditors were to come to the bank
he would remove the deposit cards
from the files.
In addition to his stock market
speculations. it was pointed out
Colt also had used some of the
money for the family purposes; to
repair his home, and buy a small
fishing boat costing about $1,500.

Z. S. OFFERS TO EXCHANGE
SOY BEAN OIL FOR OLIVE OIL
BY Associated Press

The United States is offering
swap with countries that produce
olive oil. and has freed for export
as much soy bean oil as may be
needed to Offset olive oil to be
imported.
The higher market price of the
olice oil opens the way for the
olive oil producers to get a ball
ance in dollars for buying in the
United States. This trading offer
will be open through February,
194S.
The Production and Marketing
Administration says olive oil has
been in short supply in the United
States for several years. Certain
Mediterranean countries now have
exportable surpluses of olive oil.
but because of an overall short
age of fats and oils they cannot
release olive oil for export unless
they can import other edible oils
to replace the olive oil.

Reindeer Thrive
In Forest Tests

MOSCOW A(P)- Russian scien-
lists have found that reindeer
moved from the far northern tundra
have thrived in forest areas still
far enough north but at any rate
south of the tundra.
The Russians have been carrying
on experiments looking towards
this development for over ten
years. According to Moscow News
an expedition from the Leningrad
Institute of Polar Agriculture and
Livestock Breeding has been in the
woods of the Komi Republic in
northeastern European Russia and
found that reindeer herds which
have lived there during the last
decade have multiplied very rapidly
and have an average weight per
animal double that of their fellows
in the tundra.

North Of the Florida line, all-year-
around resorts are in various stages
Of blending fall activities into
those that linger on from summer.
The all-out change already has
come high in the mountains and in
the Northern tier of States. Since
late September, holiday pleasures
there have become associated with
sunny excursions into the crisp air,
and twilight and evening hours be-
fore cracking log fires.
Summerish weather has some
what postponed these holiday pur-
suits longer than usual in the Mary
land Virginia vacation sector, but
with November they surely come,
And Virginias newest all-year re-
sort-the Tides Inn at Irvington-
appears to be weaving them into de-
lightful traditions. The inn, which
was opened in time to be visited by
Washington's summer vacationers,
now Is in Its seasonal transition Pc
riod, and only recently announced
it's fall activities.
To former guests, the announce
ment creates more than little in
terest. For they expect the inns
first fall and winter season to set a
pattern for years to come. They can
see tradition being shaped, and fit
themselves into the picture.
Fishing and square dancing, hay
rides and oyster roasts, yacht trips
and visits to historical scenes in
the area, spirituals and quail shoot
ing, luncheon on the terrace and
bridge before an open f1re-these
are the ingredients of a series of in
formal weekend "house parties" ar
ranged at the inn for November.
First of these events, November
7 to II, includes cruises along the
Corrotoman river-on arm of the
Rappahannock-and to Reidsville
aboard the 83-foot Sun Tan ".
The motor yacht, retaining from its
career as an AAF crash boat such
equipment features as a small cleo
trio refrigerator and sturdy crows
nest, is scheduled to head south for
the winter after its November 10
junket. 1t will return next spring, to
become again featured attraction
of the summer program.
Quail hunting Is listed for the
weekend party starting November
20, and the management has ar
ranged for some local people to serve
as guides.
Evening star., 1947-10-26

Final plans are being worked out
for Thanksgiving and Christmas,
with the accent on old-fashioned OBJ
servances of these honey holidays.
Thanksgiving events are to include,
appropriately enough, a turkey
shoot; also quail hunting and skeet
contests. Motor trips will be made
to nearby Wakefield, Washington's s
birthplace, and to Stratford, where
Robert E. Lee was born. Christmas
festivities. starting December "a,
will continue through New Years
Day, with carols and Yule log
ceremony as high lights.
The expectation that these events
will form a part of the Tides Inn
tradition comes from those who
know something of the resorts back
ground. There are several stories OF
how the inn came about. One ver-
sion has it that Ennols Stephens. a
local boy who made good" had the
spot in mind for years. A busy man
with varied interests, he would leave
his adopted State of Louisiana long
enough each summer to return and
dream of the day he would more or

the Northern Neck, the romantic

goes on that his wife, whom ma
tives like to describe as a local girl"
rather than as a descendant of Rob-
ert E. Lee. shared those dreams.
Just when the hotel first became
an idea to toy with cannot be timed
precisely. But plans to construct
a "showplace' resort hotel-large
enough to accommodate new friends
as well as those who wished to re-
turn-developed almost overnight.
There was talk at first of build
ing a new home on the shore. The
broad Rappahannock River and its
quiet tributaries and creeks offered
delightful sites. Some Washington
families. and those of Baltimore and
Richmond, have discovered" this
area, where farming and fishing still

NEW YORK COTTON

NEW YORK, Oct. IA. - ~
Cotton futures registered gains
of $1.0O to $2.25 a bale today.
Trading was active with broad
mill buying the feature. Com
mission house and New Orleans
demand was attracted by an ac-
tive inquiry for cotton textiles
and expectations that cotton sup
plies will be tight for the current
season.
Hedge selling was fairly sub
stantial but brought only momen-
tary recession.
Traders credited part of the
buying to sales Of cotton to the
government, as shippers submit
ted bids to the C. c. c. last
week on some $1,000 bales to be
purchased for Japan.
Features closed $1.00 to SIZE
a bale higher than the previous
close.
