CADOU ' United Press International Copyright 1958 fey United Press International) INDIANAPOLIS (UPD—Julian T. Lett, 62, Marion, has resigned as grand trustee and secretarytreasurer of the Indiana Masonic Home Foundation, Inc., after disclosure of an alleged “considerable shortage” in his accounts, it was learned today.

Lett ..served for 10 years as sec-retary-treasurer of the foundatibn, an endowment from which income from investments helps furnish funds to operate the home for children and the aged. An unofficial source placed the shortage at more than $350,000. But Masonic officials said there : was no way of knowing the amount pending completion of an ) audit. . Accountant Confirms , It was learned that the shortage was discovered in an annual routine audit. i Floyd H. Kirlin, a member of the accountants firm of Carter, Kirlin & Merrill, Indianapolis, which examined Lett’s books, said ' a “considerable shortage’’ was discovered by examiners of the firm which was empoyed by the Grand Lodge. The existence of the shortage also was confirmed by Theo. J. Jena, South Bend, grand master, and Dwight L. Smith, Franklin, grand secretary of the Grand Lodge. The lodge retained the South Bend law firm of Crumpacker, May, Beamer, Levy & Searer to investigate legal aspects of the purported shortage, according to Smith. ~ ’ Jena sent a letter to the wor- ’ shipful masters of all Hoosier ’ Masonic lodges which said, in J part: ’ "I have received and accepted the Resignation of Julian T. Lett, ’ grand trustee, secretary-treasurer of the Indiana Masonic Home 3 Foundation. Our auditors have 1 found irregularities in his ac- , counts, the exact amount of which has not been determined as yet. i No other officer of the Grand - Lodge, the Indiana Masonic Home, or the Indiana Masonic Home Foundation, Inc., is involved in . these irregularities. j Hope for Recovery “A firm of attorneys and a firm of certified public accountants ’ have been employed to go into ' the matter thoroughly and to take 1 all necessary steps to protect our interests, Every effort will be ’ made to see that no losses are * sustained. When the facts are known, you will be further advised. “I have appointed M.W. Brother Orvis A. Dellinger, P.G.M., of Fort Wayne, Ind., to serve as grand trustee until the next sesa sion of the Grand Lodge.” ** " The letter was dated June 9. Jena laer issued a prepared 1 statement which said the same things the letter did. The state } merit added that “every effort will be made to see that any ' monies which have been lost are ’ recovered, and it is hoped that no ‘ financial loss is suffered by the foundation in the final windup of this unfortunate affair.” Lett also is a former secretary treasurer of the Board of Trustees of the Grand Lodge. Kirlin estimated that it would require two weeks to complete the audit. Lett is a prominent Marion businessman. He is a former attorney and during World War II ( was a partner in the manufacturing concern of Wiley & Lett, tool manufacturers. More recently he has been associated with Jones & Co., electrical appliance dealers in Marion and Kokomo.

Russians Refuse To Release Americans Insist U. S. Deal With East Germany BERLIN (UPD— The Russians refused today to release nine Americans held captive in the Soviet zone of Germany, insisting that the U.S. government must dicker with the East German regime for their freedom. _U. S. officials had decided to negotiate with the East German "kidnappers,” but for the sake of diplomatic appearances they waited until the Russians replied to their request for the release of the nine prisoners. Today's Soviet rejection, after the U.S. appeal had been ignored for nearly a week, presumably opened the way for talks with the East Germans. U.S. authorities insist the negotiations will not imply any measure of recognition of the East Berlin regime.
