OGDEN'S OFFICE TO GIVE TRUCK BUYING RULING Replacement Plan, in Force for Years, Is Subject of Legal Study. As Attorney General James M. Ogden today mused over the possibility of his office having been used for “buck-passing'’ by the state highway commission, a deputy prepared an opinion as to whether the commission can purchase trucks on a replacement plan. The opinion, expected to be ready Saturday, is of interest to the thirty-nine truckmen who took the commission seriously when they advertised for a fleet of 100 or more trucks. Some of the veteran bidders pointed out that the replacement plan has been in use for years. One company has had its attorneys look up the law and found it legal, they declared. May Face the Music Should the attorney-general find it ao, it will mean the commission v 'ill have to face the music for wasting the bidders’ time and money or buy some trucks. It was Governor Harry G. Leslie who changed their minds about the matter and called a halt to the truck purchase. Ogden expressed amazement when the commission unemployment relief plan financing was announced by Chairman Albert J. Wedeking as being based on “the attorney-gen-eral's opinion.’’ A quotation was used from an opinion Ogden gave the commission April 11, 1930, to justify this contention. Different Subject Matter 'Flic opinion dealt with entirely different subject matter and did not go directly to the question of the use of the present unexpended balance in the maintenance fund, which is to be used to finance the unemployment program. Truckmen were informed today that out of the proposed $600,000 to be spent for trucks and road making equipment, the commission had bought but $43,744.30 worth. The list included seventeen scrapers, ten rollers, four maintained, four w’heel tractors, three crawler tractors, eighteen tar kettles and one mud jack.

Janina Smolinska

nil United F’lesi RIVERSIDE, Cal., Sept. 4 Janina Smolinska, who was “Miss Poland’’ in 1928, and Waclow Walter Grabowski, Los Angeles business man, were honeymooning today at the Mission inn. The couple motored here after their marriage by a justice of the peace in Santa Ana. The noted beauty, former premier danseuse of the Follies Bergere, Paris, said she expected to leave for Poland within a month because of immigration requirements, but intends to return to the United States in the next Polish quota. She was given a hearing in Los Angeles recently for assertedly overstaying a six months admission to this country. Grabowski is chairman of the Los Angeles Polish Olympic games committee.

NEEDY RELIEF GRAFT HINTED AS QUIZ BEGINS Charge Lawrence Grocer Is Fixing Board’s Prices for His Products. County Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson started an investigation today into charges that a Lawrence township advisory board member has been violating the law by selling poor relief supplies, prices of which he helps fix as board member. • Wilson announced he would make a detailed study of the case, to dei termine whether criminal action will be taken against George Herr, the advisory board member. Disclosure that Herr, a Castleton grocer, has been providing all relief supplies for the poor of that town has aroused much commment at the 1 courthouse. . Henry T. Van Cleave, township trustee, declared today that Herr had told him he had not been connected with the store for the last two years. Van Cleave expected to confer with Prosecutor Wilson and the state board of accounts in connection with the case today. The trustee offered the contract Thursday to Thomas Heims and | other Castletoa grocers, Van Cleave said. ! A statement by Van Cleave, folj lowing the disclsoure, “that other grocers had refused the contract, and he had given it to Herr,” was I refuted by three grocers. Van Cleave did not indicate whether he would remove J. T. Plummer, a Lawrence grocer, and brother of Carl Plummer, advisory board member, from providing relief supplies. Wilson said He would investigate ! and “if facts warrant prosecution, | they would be turned over to the j Marion county grand jury.”
