MEN VICTIMS OF JEWEL SWINDLE aj Pay $2,000 for Paste Gems so ‘Sick’ Strangers Could Return to Russia Grand Forks, N. D., July 17.—(P)— A clergyman and a. farmer of the Warsaw, N. D., vicinity, east of Minto, were victims of a $2,000 diamond swindle, it was learned hese Wednes- day. While the names of the men de- frauded were unavailable, the story as told to Grand Forks officials was that the Warsaw men paid the money to the strangers here Tuesday, receiv- ing 18 fake diamonds in return. Two men came to one of the War- saw men Tuesday morning, the offi- clals here related, saying they were sick and needed money to return to their homes in Russia. They had no money but had 18 valuable diamonds. If they could sell them, they would have funds to travel to Russia. One of the men also inquired about a “brother” whom he said formerly lived in Warsaw. The Warsaw men had the diamonds examined by a jeweler who pro- nounced them worth several thou- sand dollars. The $2,000 available at a Minto bank and the victims secured a $2,000 draft on a Grand Forks bank. Here the money was paid to the swindlers and a package, supposedly containing the real 5 handed over. On the way home from Grand Forks, the Warsaw men grew suspi- cious and returned here and had the diamonds learned switched packages and that the one they re- ceived contained only paste diamonds.

TRAIL LOST; LOOT AMOUNTS 10 $2,000 Three Armed Men Force Bank Officials, Patrons to Lie on Floor Wishek, N. D, July 17.—()—A | check-up on the funds of the Security State Bank of Wishek determined that approximately $2,000 was taken in Tuesday’s bank robbery, officials of the bank announced. No trace has been found of the three men who looted the bank just before closing time Tuesday and es- caped in a black sedan, traveling about six miles west of Wishek where they later were sighted headed south on the country road. H. E. Kusler, cashier of the .bank and one of approximately a dozen per- sons ordered to the floor during the robbery, said the two men who en- tered the building while the third waited in a car outside, indicated they were familiar with the day’s business in the bank. After collecting about $1,000 in currency one of the men told him to “dig up the rest of it—we know what has been going on here today” and forced Kusler to show him where the other $1,000 was kept. Additional money under a time- lock was left by the robbers who, Kus- ler said, “apparently believed me when I told them I couldn't open the other safe even if they were to kill.me.” County authorities found indications practicing earlier in the day three of four miles out of Wishek. Approxi- mately 20 rounds of shells were found on the ground when authorities in- vestigated a report three men re- sembling the robbers had been shoot- ing in that vicinity. Reich Aims Decree at Sterilization Foes)» Berlin, July 17.—()—The Catholic clergy’s objections to sterilization drew a retort from the reich Wednes- day—a decree providing heavy pun- ishment for persons spreading propa- ganda against the deprivation of procreative powers.

They considered it Ukely to lead to further estrangement between the church and the Nazi gov- ernment. — County Gives Sales ‘With three precincts yet to be heard from, Burleigh county has given the sales tax a majority of 1,115, accord- ing to returns compiled at the coun- ty auditor's office.

T. Kraft, chairman of the com- mittee in charge. The committee's job is to set up a system whereby the civic tion can assist new residents in get- ting located and in making them ac- aumted with Bismarck and its peo- ple. It is planned to get in touch with each person coming to Bismarck to live, aid him in getting established and make him acquainted with resi- dents already here. The idea is to put the city’s best foot foremost and keep it there witha view to making newcomers enthusias- tic boosters for Bismarck in the short- est possible time, The tentative plan worked out by the committee is to submit to each incoming resident a questionnaire for the purpose of determining his line of business, church and lodge affilia- tions and other information. This data will be given to the proper per- sons s0 that they may get in touch with him and extend individual wel- comes.

D., July 17—()—Begin- nings of another episode in the lengthening William Langer ouster story revolved Wednesday again around the former North Dakota governor. U. 8. District Attorney P. W. La~ nier, declined to elaborate, said the government will have a stronger case in Langer’s retrial in September on charges of misuse of federal relief funds. Federal Judge Andrew Miller or- dered the retrial of Langer and four associates following the circuit court's decision last May holding the evi- dence insufficient but refusing to dis- turb the original indictment. For the time being, Langer withheld ‘comment. He had termed the circuit court’s verdict a “vindication.” Upon his conviction, he had been sentenced to 18 months in a federal penitentiary and fined $10,000. Lighter sentences were imposed on Langer’s associates in the original conviction—Frank Vogel, former state highway head; Oscar J. Chaput, man- ager of the Leader, party newspaper; P. A.

Preparations for the flight were carried out in strictest secrecy. Offi- cials of the northern sea route de- partment, which organized the ven- ture, declined to make public a de- scription of the plane. Sigmund Levaneffsky, who bears the official title, “hero of the Soviet union,” was named the leader of the crew of three. Levaneffsky in 1933 flew to the rescue of James J. Mattern, American filer who was forced down on the frozen wastes of Anadir while at- tempting a ‘round-the-world flight, and took him to Alaska.

With the sales tax definitely ap- proved at Monday’s referendum, North Dakota Wednesday was tak- ing stock of its fiscal situation and its prospects for the immediate fu- ture. The state welfare board, whose Program was in doubt pending de- cision on the money issue, was pre- paring to move ahead with its social welfare and rehabilitation enter- prises. School officials breathed a sigh of relief that the threat of inadequate funds had been removed, and re- sumed their preparations to admin- ister the school relief fund granted them under the approved law. Opponents of the sales tax con- ceded their defeat in the referen- dum and its supporters, led by Gov- ernor Walter Welford, praised the decision of the people as just fair, The governor termed the a “vindication” of his stand in port of the tax as an emergency measure, Welford Independent political observers made within the next 20 days after the county and state canvassing at the result, the text of the state- ment issued by J. C. Goll, in charge of headquarters here, follows: Upset Tradition “We are highly gratified with the approval of the sales tax measure by the voters of the state of North Da- kota who are to be congratulated for their intelligent understanding as proof that the voters of North Dakota have supreme confidence in Governor Welford’s promise that this law will be admin- istered in the interests of the state as a whole, and will not be used to build up a political organization.” To Raise $2,000,000 ‘The law is expected to raise $2,000,- 000 a year, and the cost of adminis. tration is not expected to exceed 3 per nt. 5 Of the total revenue for a two-year period, $1,200,000 will go to the welfare board for poor relief and pensions as a supplement to federal expenditures.
