§114.224 PLEDGES STILL DUE CHEST Effort Made to Clean Up Accounts as 1930 Cam- paign Nears. There Chest 7.7 per cent of the amount sub- is still due the Community } seribed in the last campaign, with col- | lections totaling $1,372,399.13 for the first 11 months of the year, against a total subscription of $1486,623.21, it | was announced yesterday by John Poole. president of the Federal Ameri- can National Bank, which is corporate | 1 treasurer of the chest. The chest organization yesterd: mailed statements to those who have not completed their subscriptions, in an effort to clean up all accounts be: fore the second campaign, which will | [l begin January 28. It is pointed out by Mr. Poole that | the chest expenses for the last year have been $90.471.32, or 6 per cent of the total subscriptions, against an esti- mated average cost of from 15 to 25 per cent under the old methods of col- lection and administration of charity funds. Praises Washington's Record. Mr. Poole said: “The Community Chest has lived up to its promise to keep the cost of campaign, collection, accounting and distribution of funds in the neighborhood of 6 per cent. We now expect that contributors will make good on their promises so that obliga- tions undertaken on behalf of the Com- munity Chest organizations and the people whom they serve may be ful-| filled. The Community Chest of Wash- ington not only had perhaps the best campaign record of any large city in | the country, but it also looks as if it | might have one of the best records of payments on subscriptions of any Com- munity Chest in the country. Every penny which has been subscribed will be needed and will be applied to the work of the member organizations of the Community Chest.” Rapid progress in the organization of the special gifts committee of the chest, which will have charge of the solici- tation of contributions of $500 and more, was announced yesterday by Newbold | Noyes, chairman. Mr. Noyes said that D. J. Callahan, William Knowles Cooper, Robert V. Fleming, Mrs. C. C. Glover, Mrs. Charles A. Goldsmith, Arthur Hel- len, Barry Mohun, Mrs. Sydney Talia- ferro, Maj. Julius I Peyser, W. W. Everett and Thomas B. Sweeney have accepted active vice chairmanships and will organize subcommittees of ten each.

By Cable to The Star. BERLIN, January 4—In an inter- view with = Emil Ludwig, noted blographer of Bismarck, Napcleon and Kaiser Wilhelm, Leon Trotsky, the ban- ished Russian dictator, goes as far as to envision the probable return of a | Czar in Russia. While the present regime in Russia might appear to be progressing along certain lines, there is on the whole a declded decline, Some day there may be a general reversal of existing sys- tems, Perhaps we shall even see the return of a Czar, but no reaction will ever again place’ the governing power into the hands of & few hundred nobles. The accomplishments of the revolution can never be wiped out. These are the views Trotsky ex- pressed to Ludwig during an interview | which took place at Trotsky's lonely island home in the Sea of Marmora, | near Constantinople, and just published here by the Berliner Tageblatt.

Of course, he sees trouble and wishes to see it, everywhere in the world, Ludwig wrote, though Trotsky himself does not pro- claim a world revolution, and, in fact, never uses the word “revolution,” but he _evidently hopes for it soon. The deposed dictator characterized Premier Ramsay Macdonald’s trip to America and his efforts to come to an understanding with President Hoo- ver “not as means to serve peace, but only for the purpose of maintaining national securities.” Trotsky derides conferences during which two world powers quarrel over a mere 30,000 tons of naval armament while “swimming in tears of good will.” Must Protect Selves. “And what about your Red army?” he was asked. “Well, we have offered honest dis- armament,” he replied. “As long as that offer is not accepted, we must seek to protect ourselves. like other powers.

The investigators had instructions that if evidence of negligence is found on the part of those responsible to “Institute proceedings to bring the guilty to speedy account.” The worst of three tragedies was the crash of a bus and a railroad train at Shreve, Ohio, near Wooster, Friday (night, in which 7 high school boys were killed and 9 other persons injured. | The other accidents under investigation were at Bellevue, where 10 persons were injured Friday night when an interur. iban bus hit a truck, and at West Alex- andria where 2 persons were killed 1and 12 injured Thursday when & bus |ran off a highway and plunged down an embankment, | Grand Jury Probe Ordered. | In addition to the State's investiga- | tion at Shreve, Coroner J.

Witnesses told the coroner a warning bell at the cross- ing was ringing and that the engineer on the train, a speeding Penn: | Railroad mail and express carss the whistle as the crossing was ap- proached. Joseph Baker, 50, driver of the bus, sald he slowed down near the crossing and looked for a train through the window on his side of the bus. He said his nephew, Willard Baker, looked out of the other side to give warning if a train was in sight but that Willard e dently did not see the danger. Wil- lard was one of the victims. At the same time, the shouts and songs of the other occupants of the bus, all of them students, who, with their coach, Maurice Lenz, were re- turning from a victorious basket ball game at Big Prairie, drowned out the sounds of the bell and whistle. Plan Single Service. Baker shifted gear of the bus and drove ahead. A moment later, the bus was a mass of wreckage, the bodies of the dead were scattered along the tracks and the injured were either screaming with pain or unconscious. The boys who were killed were Wil- bur and Forest Grubb, brothers; Claude Repp, Wayne Lehman, Emil Timic, Eugene Talley and Willard Baker. The most seriously injured of the others was a girl, Edith Repp. She had both legs fractured and other injuries that made her condition critical. Funeral plans were being made by high school officials with the expectation that a single service, which the whole town will attend, will be held for the seven boys who are dead. /ARNOUNCER ELOPES WITH RADIO SINGER 0 Real Romance at WISV in Virginia Leads to Reid-Vogt Ceremony as New Year Arrives.

Small's short-lived freedom ended November 12, when he was brought down by three police bullets after he had killed a woman in at- tempting to shoot his way out when caught in a daylight holdup in Brook- lyn. First Small and a policeman emptied their revolvers at one another from behind automobiles: next Small fled to the street, and, jumping on the driver's seat of a passing private auto. mobile, stuck a second revolver in the chauffeur’s ribs and told him to step on the gas and drive as he directed. Po- lice commandeered a second automo- bile and gave chase, with Small and his pursuers exchanging s constant fusillade of revolver shots.

Assertions that American adherence to the World Court under the Root . formula will not involve this country in litigation before that tribunal with- out its consent have been given to Senator Vandenberg, Republican, Mich- igan, by the New York Bar Association. The Michigan Senator, a member of the Senate foreign relations com- mittee, made public yesterday corre- spondence he had with the association. Vandenberg asked three questions and the answers to each were affirm- ative. The questions were: Is vour conclusive judgment that the United States cannot be made a liti- gant in the World Court without the specific consent of the United States in_each instance? Is it your conclusive judgment that advisory opinions cannot be rendered by the court in a matter in which the United States has an interest except as the United States assents? Is it your conclusive opinion that the court is not calculated to render an advisory opinion over the protest of the United States in a case in which the United States claims an interest? The protocol was drafted at Geneva last Summer by Root, chairman of the association’s committee on interna- tional law, to meet objections to ad- herence to the Court raised in th® Senate. It has been signed on behalf of the American Government, and President Hoover has announced he will ask the Senate to ratify it in the next few months. In;tructors Cut Classes.
