The court ap before depreciation paid to a sinking fund and 50 per cent of the monies realized from the sale of assets of the subsidiaries also thrown into the linking fund. "What has been done is to take depreciation accounts and pay it to the capital debts. All we ask is that this be done in the future for the benefit of bondholders and banks instead of just the banks alone," the attorney told the court Attorney Glenn A. Lloyd of Chicago, representing the bondholders reorganization committee, in questioning Floete brought out that the progress made since 1S32 in the company's position included many other factors in addition to the improvement of the capital structure by retirement of debt Explains Payments.

In the beginning, ha said, resuming a story he started yesterday, the mysterious "Sanders" to whom he was supposed to turn over United States army and navy information was "very critical" of his progress.

Sanders, he testified, asked him to send him two catalogues of the U. S. government printing office with a list of all army and aviation publications. Rumrich supplied the catalogues. The booklets, Rumrich explained, were confidential military publications.

"I was instructed in case of apprehension to say I was working for England." said Rumrich. Not to Refer to Germany. "I was not to use any reference to- Germanyi-was to say I was working for Maj. Christopher Draper of a London address." "Did Schmidt tell you anything abiut his past life?" Rumrich was asked. "es, he said he had been employed by the secret service in Germany for sixteen years, that he had been in Russia and had been active in France and other countries." Sanders was reputed to be an assistant to the chief of the naval intelligence office at Bremen, Germany.

"They are working toward overthrow of the government and this cannot be accomplished without general paralyzing of industry, widespread discontent and resentment of the people toward their government." As a result of testimony yesterday 'about communist activity in Minnesota, committee members may go to St. Paul or Minneapolis later, Dies said. Seven Minnesota residents testified communists had tried to wedge into and gain control of the farmer-labor party, labor unions and veterans' organizations in their state.

Silver-voiced Ruth promptly asked for a police guard. anyder said it was "common Hollywood gossip" that Alderman MARTIN SNYDER broke up his home, causing Miss Etting to divorce him in Chicago last November after 17. years of married life. But "Colonel Gimp" reiterated his claim that Alderman shot first in a melee in the Etting music room. Holding her year-old daughter to her breast, Mrs.

Alma Alderman hotly declared that her husband, showered with clothing and jewelry and other expensive gifts, had been lured from her by Miss Etting within a few days of the baby's birth. Says Claim "Reasonable." A former stage dancer herself, Mrs. Alderman said Miss Etting was capable of earning $1,000 monthly on the radio and $150,000 was "reasonable" damages. Alderman's second marriage also developed a question mark as a result of a check of court records. This showed that his first wife, Helen, obtained an interlocutory decree on Jan- 7, 1935, requiring a year to become final.

But on Jan. 9, only two days later, Mrs. Alma Alderman declares they were wed in Tijuana, Mex. Despite the tangled state of his marital affairs, Alderman was recovering today from a bullet wound in the abdomen. A uniformed patrolman was stationed outside his hospital room at Miss Etting's request.

Only reason for continuing the parent corporation, Aitken said, is for the purpose- of payments of debts. "The construction company is the only hope for maintaining operating expenses and earnings." In addition to Aitken and Lloyd, Attorneys I. D.

Beynon and W. B. Basil, representing the preferred stockholders' committee, told the court they favored confirmation of the original plan, without the amendments suggested by Paul Good. Rolla C. Van Kirk, representing certain individual stockholders, submitted objections to the plan, principally to the feature which excludes the stockholders from control of the board of directors.

J60.000 For Lawyer. The $80,000 realized from the life insurance policy carried by the company on the life of the late A. E. Faulkner is now held by the Harris Trust and Savings bank of Chicago. Aitken told the court the bank creditors are willing that the company should get this money to use for expenses of reorganization.

He said attorneys' fees probably would be in excess of $60,000, and the other expenses would eat up the balance. Qood had asked that proceeds from insurance policies go into the sinking funds behind the bonds. His request for amendments insuring three-way payments into the sinking funds were objected to by Aitken and others, because they said the spirit of the plan is to pay interest in fixed amounts, and retire the principal as they can, with the only limitation being that $400,000 be paid in five years. Claim Is Pending. While otherwise confirmation would have been delayed pending adjudication of a claim for filed by George A.

McNulty as receiver for the Allied Aviation corporation, Attorney William Aitken stated that a compromise is in negotiation on this claim. Good Makes Proposal. Good's principal proposals for amendment were first that the provision of the plan providing for a "cushion" of current -assets of $500,000 be abandoned, and seco id that the payments to the sinking fund for the new bonds be made out of operating income before depreciation was charged, rather than afterwards. He also proposed amendments to provide that proceeds from life insurance policies carried upon certain officers be applied to the sinking fund, that there be seven trustees instead of six, the seventh to be appointed by the court, and that a maximum compensation for trustees be fixed. He suggested a nominal payment of $25 or $50 a year for the trustees.

Much of the argument on the "cushion" of cagh assets came out in the testimony and cross examination of Franklin G. Floete, comptroller and general manager of the company and proposed by the plan for president of the new company. He explained that the Woods Brothers construction company, an wholly owned subsidiary, needs a considerable sum of quick assets in order that it may obtain sureties and bonds for contracted work. He said that in his opinion it Is better to have the parent corporation maintain this, because of a taxation detail. Explains Depreciation.

Floete also testified that the depreciation account for the holding company, in view of the business of its principal subsidiary from the business point of view, the construction company, is a very real item. Saying that depreciation on the fleet of river boats and rip-rapping has worked but with the income tax experts, he said that obsolesence and repair and replacement are big items, and have to be handled by depreciation. Taking exception to this in cross examination, Good asked why it was that no interest on bonds were paid after 1932, although over a million dollars was paid to principal and interest of other debts. He also asked how the amount could be paid while in the six year period the company piled up an operating loss of over Floete said much of the pay ment was not on an earnings basis, but appeared on the statement as adjustments to surplus. In his plea to the court, Good said he sought to have a sinking fund built up under the proposed new indenture, which wag not done under the previous indenture, and that he sought to have 50 per cent of the net operating profit 04 YEARS MW VWnEu aaf 15 riD I fa! deep: CUT PRICES .15 Prep Tube or Jar 09C .65 Dryeo Baby AtSti Feod 499 Papee Dlapepaln Tablet 339 l.tS Abaerbln mmL Junior 779 1.SM Anaeln Tableti ottle of 100 v99 BISODOL 57c 1.50 Kolor Bak tm.

Both the comptroller and Edwin M. Stark, president of the bondholders reorganization committee, testified that the plan of reorganization worked out over a period of five years would enable the company to meet its new fixed charges, and operate for the best interests of all the parties interested. Stark said the plan is a compromise on many issues, and that amendments on vital points would tend probably to upset the balance of the plan.

It was brought out by Floete that the provision for payment of funds to the sinking fund after deducting depreciation, rather than halt to the sinking fund and half to depreciation before the charge, was made to provide for the payment to the sinking funds of any large profits which might be realized in any. one company in any one year. He further pointed out that the plan calls for payment of $400,000 to the sinking fund at the end of five years, regardless of the annual payments. Newspapers Termed Best Way Advertise .1 George Wood Tells Ad Club They Are Mountain Peaks Of Modem Selling Newspapers were described Tuesday non at the chamber of commerce as the mountain peak c-t advertising, and other forms as "attention" peaks, by George E. Wood, vice president 'and sales manager of a Ked Uak, speci- i alty advertising company.

He spoke at ehe luncheon of the Lin coln Advertising club, on "Ad vertising for the Modern Trend. The "atention" speaks, the speaker declared, are those forms of advertising that help make up tr complete range of advertising. He used colored pictures to illus trate the change in trends of specialty advertising. The purpose of advertising Mr Wood explained, is to obtain and maintain attention, and arouse a desire to act. Adding that there is no stopping place between ad vertising and selling, the speaker said that the man who makes the greatest success of advertising is the one who advertises to the wants of the customer, rather than to his needs.

Jurgensen was formerly president of the Western Union Life Insurance company.) That instruction, Stout declared, was faulty because Jurgensen was not charged embezzling stock; he was charged with embezzling money. Second Complaint. Stout also complained the trial court erred in permitting the prosecution to bring in witnesses with whom Jurgensen or his business associates had dealt with at various times and to permit these witnesses to tell of transactions not concerned with the Kaderli stock trade.

Bert L. Overcash, assistant attorney general who presented the state's casef reviewed the evidence and declared it showed that Jurgensen "stalled and stalled, and beat around the bush all the way through to keep from returning the stock to Kaderli or coming to an agreement with him." As for the instruction to the jury, Overcash said it was proper. "It doesn make any difference if he embezzled the stock or the money," Overcash said. "If a man steals property, he steals the proceeds from that property." Overcash urged the court not to overlook the point that Jurgensen was in a position to inspire confidence not only as a high officer in a corpratin but as a high public official. Mrs.
