ment. The Government says he was
paid, up to $4,000 by Baron Heri-
bert Won Strempel. former first sec
retary of the German Embassy here,
late In 1941 In a New York hotel
room to finance his publications.
Stewart contends he found the
money in his Lake Geneva (Wis.)
home and does not know how 1t
got there.
In closing arguments yesterday,
Defense Counsel Warren E. Magee
characterized the trial "the most
contemplate case ever tried In this
court" He declared it is "a witch
hunt" and a prosecution of Stewart,
simply because he urged America to,
keep out OF the European war.
Mr.. Magee asserted that, against
the Governments lone witness, Won
Strempel. the defense produced
seven who denied the baron had
been in the hotel room at the time
charged by the Government. He
said Won Strempel had committed
enough perjury in this case to 60
to Jail for a long time.
The Governments argument was
presented by John S. Pratt, special
assistant to the Attorney General.
He declared that. although the de-
fense had produced seven witnesses
who said they were in the hotel
room, there was period when
Stewart was there alone. Mr.. Pratt
told the jury he cannot identify the
second man, who, according to the
baron, was in the room.
Stewart took the money, Mr.. Pratt
told the fury, because he needed it,
since his publications were in finan-
cial difficulties. Stewart was more
than $1,000 "in the red" about that
time, and his printer was dunning
him for payment, the prosecutor
said. Stewards backer and partner,
Charles S. Payson of New York,
multimillionaire, complained about
the accused taking anonymous
money when he learned OF it sew
eral weeks later, said the prosecutor.
Mr.. Pratt called Stewards story
Of finding the money in his home
IAN absurdity."

Must Deserve U. 5. Aid
By the Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. Am
end to American aid to Europe un-
less the needy nations are ready
and willing to go to work, to help
themselves be self-supporting," was
forecase last night by House Speaker
Martin.
In a speech here, he declared there
had been too much money wasted
and inefhciently spent" by theorists
and chair-warmers whose chief aim
will be to remain on the Govern
ment payroll"
Speaker Martin, in California for
series of public speaking dates and
political conferences, called for
private venture capital'' to assist in
rebuilding war-destroyed European
industries to reduce 'the burden on
the American taxpayer"
He will be guest at party gath

Report by County Police
On Nursery School Waited

Three days after Montgomery
County detectives inspected the Hite
Nursery School near Rockville in
response to complaints by parents
about conditions there, a report on
the detectives findings has not been
completed.
The detectives, led by Capt. Theo-
= dore F. Vollton, visited the estab-
lishment Wednesday with DR.. Will
liam Linthicum, Rockville, who ex-
amined several of the children.
After the inspection, Capt. Vollten
said he hoped to complete the report
the following day and present to
States Attorney Walter w. Dawson.
Investigation of the nursery, owned
by Mrs. Maude C. Hite, was ordered
by Mr.. Dawson after Mr.. and Mrs.
Donald Langlotz, 1921 Connecticut
avenue NV. withdrew their two
young children from the school
Monday, when, they said, they found
them locked in an overheated,
freshIy-painted room.

cheese sandwiches. The children
have hot cereal, and the whole
family has a vegetable salad with
fruit for dessert.
You'll notice the %sweets" are
usually limited to simple puddings
or fresh or cooked fruits. When
it is possible to include pie on the
menu, the children must accept the
fact it is for grown ups only"
It hasn't been a fancy week OF
meals, but it has been adequate
by the best nutritional standards
of the Agriculture Department.
Careful shopping and good planning
are the key to beating today's high
food prices-as we have done on
this $18.33-a-week menu.
1t should be pointed out that this
weeks special figure with which we
are dealing is likely to vary-for
better or worse-depending on the
way prices go. So. don't be sur
prised if the 1888 total gets out
of date.

Second Paper Refuses
To Hunt Data in Probe
Of 0'Conor's S Election
BY the Associated Press

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Oct A.
The Hagerstown Daily Mail has
joined the Kent County News, an
Eastern Shore weekly, in refusing
to search their files to obtain infor-
nation sought by United States
Senate investigators.
Both the Chestertown publication
and the Daily Mail told the investi-
gators yesterday they could search
the files at their convenience.
Information sought by the inves-
tigators dealt with the amount of
space contracted in the two publ
cations in connection with the 1916
senatorial campaign of former Gov.
Herbert r. O'Conor. The Senate
committee is investigating charges
of election irregularities brought
against Senator O'Conor by his Re
publican rival, D. John Markey.
Francis T. Kelly, chief investiga-
tor for the committee, asked the
Mail and the Kent County News for
data on all political advertising and
space donations for and by the DEM
ocrats in the O'Conor campaign.
William B. Usilton III, editor of
the News, replied that the papers
files were open if the investigators
want to do their own searching, and
added, 1--WE have other things to do
besides squandering valuable time
looking up information for Govern
ment agencies"
Garvin Hager, editor of the Daily
Mail, wrote Mr.. Kelly that search
ing the files would require too much
time by the News staff, but added
that "our files are open to your in
vestigators for such a check"

Report on Regulation
Of Small Loan Firms
To Take Two Months

1t will be '"perhaps two months"
before the corporation counsel S
Office is ready to advise the District
Commissioners on regulations for
Washington's small loan companies,
according to Assistant Corporation
Council Robert D. Wise.
The first of a series conferences
on this subject among Mr. Wise and
representatives of the District Bar
Associations Small Loan Committee
and the municipal licensing Office
lasted three hours yesterday. Such
meetings will be held weekly.
Chiefly affected by any regula-
tions would be the Districts auto
loan companies. When Is of these
recently applied for licenses for the
first time, Mr.. Wise said, the corpo-
ration counsel's Office finally was
able to begin the procedure Of
drawing up regulations.
Replies to Criticism.
Mr.. Wise reacted sharply to crit
icism that the corporation counsel's
Office has been slow in moving to
regulate the auto loan companies,
some of which have been accused of
practices amounting to usury. He
said there is no point in formulate
ing regulations until the companies
can be "pressured" into seeking
licenses, and that then the regula-
tions could not be drawn up over
night.
The assistant corporation counsel
pointed out a committee on traffic
law revision had been meeting three
hours a week for the last IA months
I'VE won't take that long on this
problem" Mr.. Wise said, "but we
won't be ready to report to the Com
for perhaps another two
months"
Silent on Progress Made.
Mr.. Wise said he could not dis
cuss what progress had been made
at yesterdays meeting, attended by
J. Buckley, jr., a member Of
the bar associations Small Loan
Committee; Edward E. Bailey, super
of licenses, and Chatham
+. Nottingham, assistant superin-
tendent.
The regulations which this group
is trying to formulate would apply
to- anybody lending money against
collateral at more than per cent
excepting banks, insurance
companies, real estate firms and
building and loan associations.
They would not involve loan
brokers'" lending money at high in
terest solely on the borrowers sig
nature,
