Last Sunday morning Rev.

situation with his sermon on
1.-THE Other Mile. Mans plans
are rarely acceptable to God
because Of mans selfishness.
God should always be first if

MARSHALL BACKS
MAY REPUTATION
Son OF Former Congress-
man Admits To Agree
ment With Garsson's

WASHINGTON, May 2S-W.H-
Robert May, son of former con-
gresham, Andrew J. May, ad-
mitted over objections of defense
counsel today that he once held a
profit-sharing agreement in the
multi-million dollar Carson, mu
nitions combine.
He told a jury trying his IL
year-old father and Henry and
Murray Carson on charges of
wal fraud conspiracy and bribery
that his father saw a copy of the
contract before it was signed.
This .contradicted the elder
Mays earlier statement that he
knew nothing about the agree
ment in advance, but young May
quickly added that when the con
tract was shown his father last
night, 1T refreshed his memory
and he recalled that he had look
ed at it at that time"
The agreement, signed at Miami
in the office of Francis M. Miller,
an attorney, gave young May SO
per cent of the profits of any sub.
contracts obtained by Miller
construction firm.
The son was called as a defense
witness after Secretary of State
George C. Marshall and sever Of
the former congressman's House
colleagues had testified as to his
honesty and integrity.

Dionne Quintuplets Get
Watches On 18th Birthday

CALLANDER, Ont, May % -
U.D - 1t hardly seems possible
but is was Is years ago today that
Mama Dionne startled the world
by giving births to five babies in
little more than an hour.
Today the Dionne quintuplets,
q~uiet-looking, serious young girls,
celebrated their 18th birthday by
taking the day off from school.
Tonight there was a family din
ner and after that movies and a
miniature concert.
When the girls - Yvonne, An
-nette, Cecile, Emile and Marie
came down to breakfast this morn
ing, there was a yellow gold wrist
watch, a gold chain and a religious
medal at each of their table places.
TheWatches were gifts from their
father, Olivia Dionne; the chains
and medals from their mother,
Elzire. The girls won't get their
usual birthday dresses until they
go to Ottawa next month.
Although they have reached teen
age, the ouints SO far show little
signs of becoming bobby soxers.
In fact they don't go for Jazz
music. They all are studying
serious music and their dancing is
confined to learning to waltz.
The girls dress alike, usually in
flower-print dresses and grey flan-
mel blazers, red bobbysocks and
saddle shoes. Each has developed
individual traits by now Emile,
fo- instance, is left-handed.
The Dionnes are religious peo-
pie and one of the highlights Of
today's birthday celebration was
the blessing of the statue of the
blessed Virgin in the nearby G-ot
to by the Rev. Alexander Claude
Vachon, archbishop of Ottawa.
Mama and Papa Dionne recall
ed with varying emotions the hec-
tic morning IS years ago. 1t was
1:30 a. m. when Dionne rushed
to the home of Mrs. Donalda
Legros, a midwife and an aunt OF
Mrs. Dionne.
