Grayson, who does extension work for the University of Ienns: Many small payments to Grayson were listed in the financial a and Roth said these were for penses in connection with arranging and attending meetings for the as- sociation as its treasurer, Keeps Minutcs He said, under questioning, that Grayson had kept the minutes of the February 1926 meeting at Tren- | ton and had included in them a re- port of discussion affecting legis- lation. Following this, Healy produced letters which showed that both had advised the minutes to elimin- ate these references and that Gray- ? son had approved the revision. Roth sald this practice'was “a policy of the exccutive committee.” The financial account showed that | the association had contributed $1,- 000 to the information committee last April toward the printing of pamphlets on untilities intended fer school distribution. Roth testified, however, that he understood this printed matter had never been dis- tributed. He noted that the infor- mation committee was distinct from | his association, which he said main- tained headquarters in Philadelphia. | Organizer for Barbers Speaks Here Thursday | Anthony Merlino, an internation- al organizer of the Journeymen Barbers' International union will | speale: this -evening at 8 o'clock at a. meeting at.the headquart of | the C.

For many days he and his [famjly were not allowed to obtain food. Only the kindness of friends saved them from starvation. Medi- al assistance, lights, and newspa- pers were also denied him. The paper claimed that evidenc of the plot was furnished by Trotz- Ky himself. He eluded the vigilance of the secret police and smuggled out letters to Christian Rakovsky. former soviet envoy to Great Brit- ain and now himself in exile. It was suggested that Trotzky in smuggling the letters was alded by Jewish soviet officials. These cfficials were stated to have collected among themselves a lgrge sum to enable Trotzky to escape.
