lIEBER CHARGES ARE RETRACTED BY MAGAZINE Gamp. Chief Wins Another Victory Over Evans; Libel to Be Quashed. Another victory for Director Richard Lieber of-the state -iservation department and a telling blow against Representative Heibert H Evans tßep., Newcastle), in his anti-Lieber campaign, was recorded today. Outdoor Life and Recreation,” the magazine in which Evans unloaded numerous charges against Libber and the conduct of the fish and game division of the conservation department lias published a ccfhiplete retraction, discrediting the Evans story and apologizing for publishing it. Second Lieber Victory This is the second Lieber victory. The other was the overthrow of Evans as president of the Indiana Pish, Game and Forest League and defeat of Evans inspired resolutions condemning Lieber and approving the published charges. "Conservation in Indiana a Political Racket’’ was the title of the Evans’ article published in the magazine in October. “A Retraction and An Apology’’ te the title of the article repudiating the Evans 'ory in the December issue. Two officials of the publishing company investigated the Evans’ charges and the article in refutaion followed “Honest Correction” in a letter to Lieber, the editor-in-chief of the publication, J. A. McGuire, says in part: "The article is an honest effort to correct a mistake, and explains the circumstances which led us to make it. That we regret the occurrence is made fully apparent.” Lieber today declared that libel action against the magazine will not bf> pushed, but Evans still may figure in a suit. Lieber declared Ev*ns had denied authenticity of the charges in a letter to McGuire and then went ahead forcing anti-Lie-ber resolutions, based on the article, t hrough sportsmen’s organizations wherever possible. RADIO IS PRAISED BY WIRE SERVICE CHIEF Broadcasts Sharpen Desire to Read, United Press President Says. Hu I nitril Press NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—The radio is “working hard for the American Press, serving as a greater and more efficient Bulletin board than the press ever conceived,” according to Kark A. Bickel, president of the United Press. "The newspaper lives on the stimulated curiosity and the aroused intelligence of its readers,” Bickel said Sunday night in Collier’s radio heur. Anything that,tends to lift and widen the boundaries of men’s minds only sharpens to a keener edge their desire to read about the objects of their interest. On the other hand, “the radio could not function smoothly and efficiently for a week without newspaper co-operation,” he declared. HOT STOVE IN LOOT OF HOME STRIPPERS ft i bbers Make Clean Sweep While Couple Attend Movie. Hu United Frees CHICAGO, Nov. 10—Mr. and M’s. Chester Mallow banked the coil stove so it would stay hot for c* oral hours Sunday night and went out to a movie. It's a good thing v.e left a fire,” ■l'. vered Malloy, as they walked homeward. They entered their home and locked around. The sofa chairs, rugs, refrigerator, bed. all of the furniture, in fact, was gone. Evidently they hauled it away m a moving van,” said Mallow; “but how did they carry out that red-hot trve?"

Just Knew It! Be/ Vnited Fress NEW YORK, Nov. 10.—Gifford Pinchot, just elected Governor of Pennsylvanii over the protest of the Democratic party and a great many organization Republicans, was certain he would win the governorship.

SINGLETON GETS VOTE ‘CITATION' Decorated ‘for Bravery’ in Stand for G. 0. P. Frank G. S’ngleton, Republican member of the public service commission, today received through the mail a “citation for meritorious conduct” and life membership in the “Total Loss Club.” The club is composed of old-time j straight voting Republicans whose ticket failed to carry a single nomi- ; nee in the recent Democratic land- j slide. This happened to Singleton at j Martinsville. The citation sets out that Singleton j “being a steadfast, loyal Republican addicted to straight party vot- j ing” did “in face of continuous, re- j peated and adverse balloting by the enemy, march boldly and alone into ; the voting booth, and without faltering, deliberately decorated his party emblem with a firm cross.” Consequently the Total Loss Club makes him a life member with the honorary title “Chief Casualty” and awards him a leather medal. The citation is signed by “General Catastrophe” and attested to by “Major Headache.” At the bottom is the notation: “Please send copy to Hoover Safety Conference.” SHIP SINKS; IS DEAD Rescuers Find Wreckage ' After Pacific Storm.

Thursday, the crew members refused i to be taken off. Reports from along the coast today indicated other lives may have been lost in the storms of last week. Three vessels were reported to have been in trouble and narowly averted disaster. Cigaret Stump Starts Fire A cigaret stump ignited trash in \ the basement of the Rolla D.
