B. Asia replied to Ralph Horr, plaintiff, Thursday rer of the committee, ts named jefendant with Asia in the ae tion brought by Horr. “A majority of the bills named tn the sult were never authorized by the citizens’ committees, For example, contains $120, which was btedly spent for liquor and $40.26 for ‘Rainier Special’ and gin ger ale,” Asia sald. Also, Asta stated, the bill was originally made out to the Roosevelt | post, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and the citizens’ committee was not re sponsible. “Such bills as these personal en tertainment affairs I do not deem to be legitimate,” Asia explained. That the carnival and auto raffie, which the police closed in the middie of the convention week, was personally organized and promoted by Kalph Horr and without the cooperation or su- thority of the citizens’ commit- tee, is another counter-charge made by Asia. “Whatever became of the money malsed by the carnival ts a complete miystery to me," Was Asia's state ment. “The citizens’ committee raised more than $11,000 thru per senal solicitation of contributors, I have never seen a penny of the car nival's profits.” Falture of the carnival managers to complete the raffie of automobiles has used the citizens’ committes heads annoyance, according to Asia. “Ticket holders have frequently phoned me since the convention week, but I know nothing of the af fair.” After bills considered legitimate by the citizens’ committee had deen | paid, the fund remaining tn the treasury, $537.37, was given to the Community Chest Fund by common consent of the committees personnel, treme,” Philip Tworoger, for Horr, retorted as soon as he re celved notice of the committee chair. man's statement, “Mr. Horr ts fiat on his back at the Providence hoept- tal, where he has been for the past three months. “As & reply to the statements Mb.
