FURNITURE FIRM TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE TONIGHT jR Staff Correspondent READING, Feb. 22 There is no law on statute books which makes it a misdemeanor to i lea vp air escape from tires on a truck. That was the contention of Attorney T.

Darlington Hoopes, dur- ing an argument to quash an indictment against Raymond Rothenberger. Calvin Weiss. Arthur Herb. Paul Wolfgang and Leon Smith, Boyertown men. who were convicted in Berks criminal court.

The men were charged with deflating tires on trucks of John H. Wolfe, who transported materials and merchandise to and from the Beckerman shoe plant, while it was said labor trouble existed Sentence was deferred on the pending argument on a motion to quash the indictments. Hoopes claimed there was nothing in the law that warranted a charge of malicious mischief.

Mirthful entertainment with triple-powered value indicated in its title onens at the State theater today in the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, Love and Rot ut Montgomery and Rosalind Russell, both favorites of the screen, have the co-starring roles, Montgomery. as a gay devil-may-care artist of Gieenwich Village, Miss Russell as a daughter of society Through her love for him she gives up the 400-more-or-less of her set and goes to live in a garret with a north light, near a delicatessen and a Chinese laundry in the throbbing heart of the village. Here, adventure overtakes them and for a while shatters romance But true love and heroic measures combine to restore them to' one another's arms and the lofty studio room.

Montgomery goes back to his easel and rebuilds the career that almost slipped when they parted. The story is amusing and ha.s its moments of drama, but it is largely I intended for laughter and unquestionably gains its point at every move.

NAZIS EXPECT ACCORD WITH GREAT BRITAIN BERLIN, Feb. 22 tonight expected an Anglo-German accord would follow on the heels of settlement of British and Italian differences in a move for pacification of Europe. It was believed Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain would not allow Czechoslovakia, in whose direction German eyes have turned since Chancellor Adolf Hitler proclaimed protection of German minorities in Central Europe, to be an obstacle to such an accord.

Germany thus was seen as feeling herself free to bring pressure upon the state which emerged as a republic at the end of the World war and which has almost 3,500.000 Ger- fl mans in its population. A Praha dispatch said the Czechoslovak parliament was today when a German deputy ifte republic to on persecuting but be prepared to accept the consequences. The deputy, Gustav May, said: are sick nd tired of being treated as mere objects of state policy. Go on persecuting us as you the end you will have to repent FRANCE INSTITUTES DEFENSE PROGRAM PARIS.
