LAY SPY PLOT 1 TO BRITAIN IN SOVIET TRIAL Two Confessions Made by Englishmen Repudiated in Sabotage Case. (Continued From Pago One) formity), and deathly pale beneath his neatly trimmed Van Dyke, MacDonald categorically denied his previous statements. He said he had not given orders to Vassili A. Sokolov to wreck machinery. Countrymen Are Spruce MacDonald’s pitiful condition was in sharp contrast to the somber but spruce mein of his countrymen, Allan Monkhouse, chief of the Met-ropolitan-Vickers group of employes; Charles Nordwell, Thornton; A. V. Gregory and John Cushny. The Russians ranged in physical condition from the quaking, trembling Vassili A. Gusev, who Wednesday begged for his life, to the plump and trimly groomed Anna Kutuzova. the Englishmen's secretary, and the only woman among the defendants. October hall was only half filled, mosWy with foreign diplomats and corespondents. Wednesday was the “frep day” of the six-day week and Russians had time for such things as trials. Today was a work day, and humming factories demanded abstinence from anything distracting from the progress of the economic plan. The presence of the diplomats emphasized, as it did Wednesday (hat the personal late of the accused was secondary to the possible Internationa) repercussions hinging on the outcome. Great Britain had demanded the release of her subjects without trail. She was prepared to declare a comple embargo on Russia and sever all relations if the trial’s conduct and its conclusion were not to her liking. “.My Courage Failed Me’’ Thornton, when he was questioned withdrew important admissions made at his preliminary examination. Some of his own testimony, he said, was not, true. He was asked why he made false statements. “My courage failed me,” he said, “when I was shown the testimony of MacDonald and others of my colleagues.” MacDonald and Thornton were questioned simultaneously and gave contradictory testimony concerning the espionage charges. MacDonald confirmed previous statements that he had transmitted military information bearing on aviation and munition factories to Thornton. “That’s an absolute lie.” Thornton exclaimed.

HURLS EDICT AT BEER TRUCKERS City Licenses Must Be Paid, Is Order; Louisville Fees Paid. It’s not so bad to be snubbed by dog owners and peddlers at licensepaying time, but when it comes to beer truck operators thumbing their noses at the city’s license laws—that’s something eLse. Captain Otto Ray, city license inspector, today got his dander up when, in checking over truck drivers arrested for failing to have city license, he discovered two beer trucks in the group. Louisville city licenses had been bought for both trucks in order to be able to transport the new 3.2 product out of that city. "If they can buy Louisville licenses, they can buy licenses here,” Ray snorted. The trucks were owned by the Indianapolis Beverage Company and Giesen Products Company, both of Indianapolis. The truck license law will be enforced against all trucks in the city, Ray said, with special emphasis on 3.2 products trucks. Twelve truck drivers were arrested Wednesday and more were being made today. Ray, assisted by Carl Ashley, also is waging war on evaders of all forms of city licenses, including dog, huckster, peddler, bicycle and other types. Five restaurant proprietors were arrested Wednesday for failing to get licenses.

SCORES SEEK U. S. BEER PERMITS HERE $50,517 Taken In by Federal Bureau, Neal Reveals. Rush business at the internal revenue collector’s office continued today, with scores of new applicants for federal permits to sell beer. The office reported collections totaling $50,517 on permits and beer tax stamps since issuance began. E. E. Neal, internal revenue collector, believes practically all Indiana wholesalers, who contemplate handling beer, have registered with the federal government. Majority of applications are from retail establishments. Since permits are issued to June 30, it is believed many retailers may be experimenting to ascertain the success of beer sales. It is thought a large number may not renew permits after the end of the fiscal year. So far, only one Indianapolis brewery is manufacturing beer. A permit and tax stamps were issued to the Indiana Breweries, Inc., 926 West New York street, several days ago.

He gives prospective ber wholesales business cards reading as follows: "Paul Fry Sales and Service, Linton, Ind.” At the top Is the Ford emblem and at the bottom this; "William D. Gilson, 1019 North Tuxedo street, Indianapolis, Ind.” In commenting on the “bond steering” from his office Fry denied that he had any knowledge of or interest in it. Asked about the truck selling, he said: “Sure, we are selling trucks whenever we can. I sold several myself. But there is nothing to conceal. If the business is here, we are going after it.” Fry is a full time state official at a saiary of $5,200 a year. Mother Wins Suit Against Son By United Prrax WASHINGTON, April 13.

CITY IS GOING ‘HIGH-BROW ON ITS BOOK TASTE I Novels Are Shelved and the Really Good Works Come Into Their Own. Indianapolis citizens are going “high brow.” if the type of books they read are any indication of the cultural status of the community. For. fiction—second rate novels especially—have been shelved temporarily by young and old. according to Luther L. Dickerson, public ; librarian. In his March report to the school j board, Dickerson listed readers’ calls for books on fine arts, useful arts, standard literature, biography, sociology and travel as most pronounced. “Increase in these fields is 17 per cent over a year ago and 100 per cent as compared to four years ago,” Dickerson reported. “Libraries list 37.8 per cent of the city’s population as borrowers, and adult borrowers averaged eightyfive a day during March,” he said. Demands for reference and research facilities at the downtown business branch increased 22 per cent for the month. Dickerson believes this was due to business optimism and the banking situation. “It is gratifying to note the interest of the general public or the layman in subjects which, in better times, received little studious attention,” Dickerson told the board.
