part of the conspiracy was that Mr.
Moore would not register as the law
required because his registration
would reveal their personal financial
interest and injure the weight OF
their testimony before congressional
committees.
Both Mr.. Mcdonald and Mr.
Linder. while appearing to act in
their official capacities and in be-
half of the people of Georgia and

for their own personal financial

The presentation of the case to

Moore Faces Other Indictments.
On June l the Agriculture De-
partment issued complaint accus-
ing Mr.. Moore of issuing false
misleading and deceptive memoran-
dunn last fall designed to cause
lard price increases. A hearing has
been set for July 7.
The complaint said Mr.. Moore
circulated among newspapermen
brokers and others press memo
randum," stating the Government
planned to buy large quantities OF
lard for export.
No such buying program was
planned, the complaint said, adding
that Mr.. Moore had issued the
memorandum hoping lard prices
would go up so he might profit on
his holdings. He was said to have
held futures contracts covering
$40, 900 pounds of lard.
Mr.. Moore denied the accusation
contending the statement he issued
had been quoted previously in Off
cial statements by President Tru-
man and the Agriculture Depart
ment.
The Commodity Exchange Au-
thority said Mr.. Moore made $445 200
for himself and other market in
vestors between January 2, 1916, and

Believe it or not, but the
Council of Jewish Federations
and Welfare Funds is now al
ready thinking in terms OF
Jewish needs in 1875 -. This
is due to a report by the U. S.
Bureau of the Census pre-
dieting changes in the general
population in this country by
1875 that have strong implica-
tons for planners of Jewish
community organization
The report foresees a decrease
in the population growth, a
large increase in the older age
groups and little change in
the number of children and
youths Looking at the i'm
plications of these trends. the
Council of Jewish FederationS
notes that the aging popula-
ton will need expanded pro-
grams by family services,
community centers. hospitals
and homes for aged . 1t also
draws attention to the fact that
immigration, or rather the i'm
migration quota, will have its
effect on the growth and age
composition of the Jewish
population in this country f.
Unless immigration is increas-
ed, the present programs Of
Jewish social agencies will de-
finitely be affected Incl
dentally, other studies made in
various cities reveal that the
annual birth rate among Jews
in the United States is 80 per-
cent lower than that of nom
Jews These studies also
reveal that intermarriage is
constantly increasing in New
York and that this seems to
be the case in other cities

duces his child to the richness of
that tradition need have no fears
that, by denying him participa-
