The salvage was loaded into a motor truck after the close of the investigation, and started for Washington, D. C.

After Battle WAS FORCED TO DISGORGE Pederson Wrote Check, Then Hurried to Get It Back With Sathre’s Help How the North Dakota “Leader,” Political newspaper, obtained $3,570 from the state mill and elevator and then was forced to disgorge it was . |exposed Sunday by the Fargo Forum after an investigation of rumors heard in Bismarck last week. The money was paid by Ludwig Pederson, mill manager, to James Mulloy, former secretary of the state industrial commission, and Oscar Chaput, “Leader” business manager, on a contract which previously had. been ordered cancelled by Governor Ole Olson and the industrial com- mission. Involved in the story are Dr. M. W. Roan, Bismarck; Attorney General P, O. Sathre, Langer and his political aides; Pederson and his wife. It tells how Pederson paid out the money and later recovered it, with Sathre’s assistance, after he had come to the conclusion that the payment was a mistake. ‘The tale begins with the signing of an advertising contract between the mill and “The Leader” on July 2, three days after Langer and his as- sociates had been sentenced to fed- eral prison for a crime against the government. It covered mill adver- tising for a period of 48 weeks, re- quired that a minimum of 70 inches & week be-used and fixed the rate at $2.50 a column inch. A special clause provided a Peeepaeist discount if the money was paid vance. -— Sathre Entered Protest At a meeting of the industrial com- mission the same day, attended only by Langer and Sathre, the latter pro- tested the contract and particularly the advance payment clause. In a telephone conversation with Peder- son he advised him not to make any advance payment and confirmed this advice with a special delivery letter. On Monday, July 23, Chaput and Mulloy, who had “resigned” as sec- retary of the industrial commission, appeared at the mill and asked Pederson to make advance payment on the advertising contract. Peder- son demurred but they persisted and he finally drew a check for $3,570, Payable to “The Leader.” It was en- dorsed by Chaput and Pederson and cashed at the Red River National Bank in Grand Forks withou: delay, Pederson’s signature being required as an identification for Chaput. Chaput took the cash and returned to Bismarck, The Forum relates. He contends that he delivered it to O. E. Erickson, Langer figure-head as “Leader” publisher, but Erickson said he had not seen the money. Pederson contends that, at the time made the payment, he did not of the industrial commission's action in cancelling the contract, voted on Saturday, July 21, after Ol- son’s accession to the governorship. of S< st: astees ie 5 BE Bs ie38 is FE of & ges 2438 & ry gE Herts a lil He ua Hid af 5 E Big Bay, Mich., July 30.—(?)—Henry Ford is 71 years old Monday.

One Italian official said the troops would remain in the north for about two more weeks. Traffic between the two countries is said to be resum- ing normal proportions. Premier Mussolini is devoting his full attention to the Nazi-Fascist hostilities in Austria, determined that Nazis shall not dominate the coun- try. He spent his 5lst birthday Sun- day, studying reports on the situa- tion. He had planned to be at a sea resort with Engelbert Dollfuss, the martyred Austrian chancellor. A government official denied re- ports Italy is exerting pressure on Austria to refuse to accept Franz von Papen, German vice chancellor, as a special envoy to Vienna. This, the spokesman said, is an internal Aus- trian affair and one in which Italy will not meddle. Italian newspapers are urging France and England to combine with Italy to take steps to prevent a re- currence of troubles in Austria but the government spokesman said no note to Berlin asking dissolution of Nazi storm troops is planned. All Europe Watches Austria The rest of Europe stood by Mon- day, watching whether the new Aus- trian government could overcome the opposition of Austrian Nazis.

Kurt Schu- schnigg, the new chancellor, organ- ized a coalition government in an attempt to restore peace in the na- tion. Berlin—Chancellor Hitler, at Bay- reuth, conferred with Vice Chancel- lor von Papen, Minister of Propa- ganda Goebbels and Premier Goering of Prussia on the Austrian situation. It was indicated that Germany ex- pects Austria to accept von Papen as minister later in the week. London—Sir John Simon, British foreign secretary, told the house of commons that the British govern- ment has no intention at present of intervening to preserve Austrian in- dependence. Rome—Premier Mussolini attended memorial services for Dollfuss and thousands of Italian soldiers re- mained massed on the Austrian bor- der; there, at Tarvisio, a division commander said, “There is no chance i Hi é i z
