LaRose and George Bird Tie for Prize; Girls’ Camp Aid Is Volunteered Feeling that the heat called for light seesctatemoct rather than discussion of such topics as Einstein's theory of relativity, the Rotary club made story-telling the feature of its noon juncheon today. Twelve members were told off for the stunt. It was announced that there would be a prize awarded for the best story, and Judge W. L. Nues- sle, Ray Bergeson and J. L. Bell were selected as judges. ‘When the contest closed, however; the judges announced that they were deadlocked between George Bird and Dr. V. J. LaRose, so they tried to break the tie by having these two tell-off. The tie stuck, however, after one attempt, so it was decided to award two prizes, these to be selected 30 as to be of fitting character for the recipient. e Those who participated in the story-telling were Captain Tourtillott, John ‘Peterson, George Duemeland, George Bird, J. C. Taylor, Roy Logan, Kelly Simonson, Dr. L. W. Larson, Burt Finney, Jason Wait, Dr. LaRose and Dr. Roy Towne. President John Hoffman announced that the matter of contributing to the zirls camp, as presented to the club by Miss Lois Howard, playground di- rector, would be left to the members individually instead of the club treas- ary. Nineteen members thereupon volunteered to make contributions to the camp funds. A full contribution is $7. Half contributions will be re- reived also. Guests of the day included E. A. Headeau, Minneapolis; J. S. Beatty, Hawaiian Islands; G. T. McClure, New York; and F. M. Barnum, Man- lius, N. Y. HINTS RUSSIANS MAY BOYCOTT U.S. Head of Trading Corporation Says Trade Menaced by Communism Probe New York, July 23.—(#)—Peter A. Bogdanov, president of the Amtorg ‘Trading corporation, said in a state- ment today that Russian-American trade amounting to more than $100,- 000,000 a year, would be seriously menaced unless accusations against the company were proved groundless. Representative Hamilton Fish Jr., chairman of the congressional com- mittee investigating Communist ac- tivity in the United States, before which the statement was read, prom- ised that, all charges against Amtorg would be delved into with thorough- ness. Bogdanov said certain American firms already had declined to finance purchases because of these rumors. He specifically mentioned statements by Gregory Bessedovsky, former Soviet charge de affaires at Paris, Grover A. Whalen when he was po- lice commissioner of. New York, and Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor, who testified before the committee. In all of the statements rcierred to, charges were made that Amtorg was not solely a trade organization but also served as a focal point in this country for Communistic activities which had their inception in Moscow. Bogdanov asserted all these state- ments were without any basis in fact. SOUTH DAKOTA MAY LOSE CONGRESSMAN Population of 691,008 Appears Insufficient to Retain Three Representativ: Washington, July 23.—(?)—South Dakota failed to grow up to unof- ficial estimates and with the an- nouncement today that her 1930 pop- ulation is 691,008, a gain of 54,461 or 8.5 per cent over the 1920 census, the possibility developed that she might lose a representative. Just what state will gain as @ result of the reapportionment was uncer- tain, but indications are that it will be Ohio. The loss would reduce South Da- kota’s delegation to two members in- stead of three as at present. Gain of another for Ohio would make her delegation 24 instead of the pres- ent 22. Ohio had been indicated for a gain of three new members. South Da- kota had not been figured on for a loss but her actual population fell 25,000 below that estimated. Relative of Soldier Rescued from Water ° Thanks Local Heroes Harry Pilmoor, Bismarck man who with his daughter Gwendolyn recent- ly saved the life of Henry B. Tierney, @ private of Fort Lincoln, has re- ceived a letter of thanks from an uncle of Mr. Tierney, Rev. Henry B. Tierney, rector of the Catholic church at Stanberry, Mo. Private Tierney, in swimming, was going under water for the third time when rescued by the Bismarck man and his daughter. OO | Minneapolis ‘Cops’ \ Squelch New Racket _———_————— $$$ ‘Minneapoli¢, July 23—(P)—A new “racket” was squelched today by Min- neapolis police. Its promoter, alleged to have profit- » ted severa] dollars a day, was in jail awaiting a hearing on vagrancy charges. According to complaint to police, ‘the promoter’s ruse was to pose as * an ice man who had just had the misfortune of having a tire on his truck blow out.
