Each juror will be permitted to look into the microscope himself and draw his own conclusions for comparison with those of Col. Goddard. Bitterly fighting to exclude the Gox- ernment’s expert testimony, defense counsel met with little success. At the outset of today's session Lucien Van Doren, for the defense, joined with cution attorneys in a consultation fore the bench over the nature of tests which Goddard would be called upon to perform in court. The defense advised the court during lengthy conference, according to Mr. Collins, that it desired to revise its orig- inal acceptance of the Government's ympoul for a test.

Asked About Qulifications. Dr. Souder first was asked to tell his Questioning brought out he was a member of the American Optical Assoclation, American Chemical Soclety, the American Asso- ciaion for the Advancement of Science and the Washington Academy of Sci- ence. He said he had engaged in in- vestigational work and the d:signing of instruments at the Bureau .of Stand- ards for 15 years. ‘The witness explained he had visited several ammunition plants, as well as numerous arms factories, watching es- pecially for markings on bullets, primers ind casings. He said, as a result of these inspections, he had installed equipment for ballistics testing in the bureau’s laboratories.

Justice Adkins overruled the objection and an exception was entered. Dr. Souder pointed out test bullets had been fired into cotton waste before their examination beneath the mi- croscope. He said the mortal and test | slugs then were placed beneath the | parison microscope and studied in | pellets which e ided. He said these marks were a result of the bullet g through the barrel.

This remark resulted in an objection which.was overruled. The witness then outlined the resuits of his examination of the other weapons. none of which were found to have any bearing on the case. Dr. Soud°r said he was more con- cerned with finer scratches on the | bullets than with more pronounced marks. | He said the finer scratches lead to definite conclusions. Under cross-cXamination, Dr. Souder testified various parts of the compari- son microscope used in the test werc| made by different manufacturers. He | said the lens was made in Baffalo and | the reflector in Berlin, while other sec- tions were manufactured elsewhere. He said the test bullets he used had been fired by Lieut. John Fowler of ihe ‘Washington police force. The cross-| examiner sought to show that marks | on one of the test bullets were more | indicative of the expert's conclusion than were scratches on the other test slugs. Van Doren finally drew from the witness the statement that the test bullet of which photograplis were made was “best suited” for his purposecs. Asks Questions About Marks. ‘The defense attorney lead Souder to| the jury box and questioned him at| length concerning the various marks made visible by photographs. Questions such as “what is down below to match these two lines here?” were frequent | as Van Doren undertook without suc-| cess to ;.h‘-m Dr. so:xder to say the| were not convincing. phmuaer said there were a total of 79 scratches on the various photographs shown the jury which agreed. He estimated an equal number of marks which matched on the mortal and test bullets had not been indicated to the jury. He sald there were perhaps 150 marks in all on the various pictures. ‘While this questioning was in process, the defendant sat at a well lighted sec- | tion of the room and examined prints of the pictures.

A co-ordinated program is being worked out by State and Federal relief agencies to prevent pellagra and other nutritional diseases that might follow crop faflures after the drought. Among those co-operating are the American Red Cross, the Public Health Service of the Treasury Department, and the Bureau of Home Economics of the Department of Agriculture. Seek {o Prevent Disease. ‘The program, to utilize the existing agencies already set up in the countries, Dr. C. W. Warburton, secretary of the National Drought Relief Committee, said yesterday, “will bring to attention of those in the drought area the foods which will prevent nutritional dissases. “It will be urged that these foods be made available in_every community at prices those in the drought area can afford to pay,” he continued. The co- operation of manufacturers and dis- tributors will be requested. “Some of the supplementary foods which the Bureau of Home Economics recommends ‘are dry skim milk, evap- orated milk, canned tomatoes and spinach, raw cabbage, cod liver ofl, yeast, wheat germs, rice polish, cane or sorghum molasses and canned sal- mon.” Dr. Warburton said it was probable the food situation would be serious this Winter in some of the drought States. Winter Supplies Are Low. “Jackson County, W. Va.” he said, “reports that two families out of every five will not have sufficient food for the Winter. Arkansas reports about seven bushels of sweet potatoes and eight gal- lons of sorghum to the farm family. These are two important food staples on_most farms.” Fall gardens, however, are expected to help in Arkansas. tal of 58,341 gardens were planted and much of the produce will be canned.

Collins then sought to make more plain the reason for Souder’s failure to appear in court on other occasions. Van Doren objected and Justice Adkins upheld the right of the Government to make such an inquiry. Collins then asked Dr. Souder whether he had been | requested to appear in various cases. He sald he had. “Did z:m not object to bring sum- ‘moned this case and did I not go ahead and summons you?” Collins said. “That is true.” —— The Chinese government has agreed to lend & number of butldings on the Island of Linkungtao as & sanatorium negative. lawyer - it takes for the British Navy and grant other :;mu- lnunch-nu ‘£‘¢' the rm'xr‘n g VETERANS' AID COST 10 EXCEED BILLION Staggering Total Includes Pensions in Next Year’s Estimates of Outlay. By the Assoclated Press. A billion-dollar outlay will be needed next year to me:t the Government's increasing bill for veterans’ compensa- tion and pensions. Despite efforts of the administration of veterans' affairs to keep cstimates below the billion figure, demands for pensions, hospitalization’ and compen- sation under the laws created hy Con- gress last Spring have brought the total to staggering heights. Preliminary estimates for the Veter- ans’ Bureau alone for the next fiscal year indicate a probable increase of more than $100,000,000. Appropristions for the bureau last year amounted to about $550,000,000, and. with the added demands, the numerous new hospitals and attendant expenses, the cost of op- eration next vear is expected to amount to nearly $665,000,000. Pension Bureau Figures Cited. ‘The annual outlay of the Pensior. Bu- reau, handling Spanish-American and Civil War claims, already has amount- ed to more than $200,000,000. With the increased pensions for Spanish-Amer- ican veterans and their dependents au- thorized by the last Congress, a sub- stantial increase in expenditures is anticipated. Use by veterans of all National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers is expected to increase their flnn\ml maintenance costs by many nil- ons. Until Congress authorized the con- solidation of the National Soldiers’ Home, formerly under the War De- partment, and the Pensions Bureau, under the Interior Department, with the independent Veterans’ Bureau, the annual veterans’ bill was split three ways, but totaled about $800,000,000. Congress will receive the first com- bined estimate early in January. With the exception of the consolidated Treas- ury-Post Office annual supply bill which usually is in excess of a billion dollars, the appropriations to be re- quested by the veterans’ agency will exceed all others. Huge Aggregate Foreseen. Under present plans, they will aggre- gate more than the combined costs of maintaining the military and naval establishments and the Interior Depart- ment. As an indication of the growth of the agency, it was made known that within three and one-half months after pas- sage of the World War veterans’ pen- sion bill applications had been received from 224,955 veterans. Seventeen per cent of these already have been ad- judicated. About 51 per cent were al- jowed, calling for an increased outlay of $420,000 annually. Of the claims allowed 5,239 were for 100 per cent disablility. SIXTY-EIGHT PERISH IN SMYRNA FLOODS American Schools Endangered as Torrential Rains Demolish 655 City Homes. By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press. WAUKEGAN, IIl, October 27.—Lake County served notice today of its firm resolve to keep its territory free of Chi- cago gang wars with the rearrest of George (Bugs) Moran, gangland leader. Moran’s second arrest yesterday in the same resort near Bluff Lake, where he was captured as a vagrant a week ago, was ordered by State’s Attorney A. Smith. Smith declared he did not in. tend to have Chicago hoodlums trans- | | fer their battleground to his county. Two charges were made - against Moran, who was reputed a partner of Joe Aiello, wealthy gangland leader, slain last Thursday by machine gunners in Chicago. One was for vagrancy and the other for conspiracy to defeat jus- tice by concealing Leo Mongoven, his chief lieutenant, who, like Moran, was classed by the Chicago Crime Commis- sion as a “public enemy.” Moran was taken to jail in default of $20,000 bond. His attorney indicated he would attempt to obtain his release ;hmugn hebeas corpus proceedings to- ay. Moran was found in the resort by a constable and two private detectives, |" who were searching for Mongoven. If the authorit! expected Moran to tell them Mongoven's whereabouts, they were dl.snpgolnbed‘ as Moran’s only re- sponse to their questions was that Mon- goven was ‘“out feeding the reindeer, getting ready for Christmas.” Pollowing his previous arrest, Moran was taken to Chicago, where he ob- tained release on bond. NEW GANG FEARED. Police Believe “Bugs” Moran Has Been Forming Anti-Capone Faction. CHICAGO, October 27 (#).—The re- arrest near Waukegan yesterday of George (Bugs) Moran, partner of Joe Alello, wealthy alcohol king slain by a machine gun ambush last Thursday, strengthened their theory, police said today, that Moran is trying to organize a gang to bid for a return to power in Chicago. Leo Mongoven, reputed Moran's right- hand man, is believed by the authorities to be hiding somewhere in Lake County. ‘The presence of the two men in the same locality, the police reasoned, indi- cated a movement to marshal Moran forces for a fight with their Capone foes may be under way. While arrangements were being com- pleted for the funeral next Wednesday of Alello police received reports that his brothers, Dominic and Sam, were rallying their forces for a reprisal.
