Egan In Criminal Court. According to Acting Chief of County Detectives Harry Foster, the prisoner confessed to the slaying of Vianese Sgro, 50, of Sewlck-lev, March 13, 1929.

American oil land seizures case and other troubles is expected as the Mexican government has decided to promote American good will so that the United States silver purchase policy will be continued.

One sure way to make the Good Neighbor policy work is to pay the neighbors for being good, EAGERNESS of Senate in' terstate commerce subcommittee for an investigation of wire tapping is explainable. Behind it are dark unsubstantiated rumors gathered by the subcommittee lm-plving some state politicians paid $25,000 to a wiretapper 'for evidence against a Democrat. Yet the recommendation for the Inquiry may never be ap-pioved. If the Democrats go into that case, the Senate Republicans will no doubt insist upon a thorough exposure of governmental wiretapping activities in certain Washington departments. explain repeatedly to the Russians that no discrimination was involved in the Maritime Commission's action.

We wouldn't discriminate against Russia for the world, but it is quite well known here and elsew here that the Reds are trying to build up a transpacific service to supply themselves with 10 times more, goods than they ever needed before-goods which Germany needs and can get directly by rail from Vladivostock. A Russian ship left an obscure West Coast Mexican port recently with 5.000 tons of copper foi Vladivostock. Some of this possibly German-bound copper originated ln British Columbia, and was shipped down the coast to Mexico with Its ultimate destination apparently unknown. State Department can get practically no information out of plenty about publicity. The home office here was amazed at the way Welles visit to Berlin was absorbed by Hitler for his propaganda purposes.

Welles name was not mentioned in the German press until 24 hours before his arrival. He got two paragraphs, generally on inside pages, during his stay. But thousands of officially inspired words propagandizing Hitler's strong domestic position and "superior war power were handed out not to the German papers for domestic publication. but to foreign correspondents in Berlin. The Italians used th Welles visit In precisely the same way, not to promote peace, but to promote their political aims.

The British and French caught on to the game immediately and followed suit. Privately, our official all Rough Streets Costly to City Motorists Repairs Here Higher Than Other Big Cities, Survey Reveals Rough streets cost Pittsburgh motorists more than they cost car owners In any other large American city. This Tact was revealed today from several sources, as reports were made by private fleet operators, automobile clubs and a research foundation One report, which shows that New York motorists get more than twice as much mileage from tires as local motorists, before treads wear smooth, stated: On the basis of a vast number of tire tread wear measurements mad- recently, it was found that the life of the tread Varies considerably in different sections of the rountrv. This may be due, in a large measure, to the tspe and conditions of pavements, TABLE SHOWS WEAR On this particular Investigation, the figures given In the table below show the miles tires were worn tn actual service In the metropolitan districts named before the tires become smooth: "New' York, 23.430: Detroit, Chicago, Dallas, St. Louis, Boston, New Orleans, 12.235; Philadelphia, San Francisco, 11,388, and Pittsburgh, 9.875.

This heavy toll on tire life In Pittsburgh wa, substantiated bv repoits made by the Austomobile Club of Pittsburgh, ln reporting 32 per cent of service calls for tire trouble, compared with 22 5 per cent reported by the Chicago Motor Club. THE BILL HIGH A manager of a fleet of trucks reported: "Our tire bill here Is mil of line with all other phic-s wbs the company operats, The fleet opei ator said that the major causes of tire expense here are rough streets, steel edges on cuibs and shan trolley tracks. He said that tire cuts, caused by protruding ends of steel edges on curbs, cost $175 a month in repairs. RFPAIRS COSTLY Speaking of the cost of rough streets, as demonstrated in hts company's expense accounts, the manager said: For three years we paid an average of $170 a month for repairs to broken springs. Today we pay an average of $30 a month for springs repairs.

The rhange can be attributed to the repaving of one street where our trucks travel -egularlv. Undoubtedly a lot of wear and tear on all classes of cqu'p-ment are due to the same cause rough, uneven streets." Pastor Stricken' Husband Fails To Balk Hearing On Alimony Court Fails to Heed 'Ultimatum or Summons An Etna man must appear In court to answer his wifes nonsupport charge even if he did issue an ultimatum aeainst It, Judge Samuel J. McKim, in County Court, ruled. Charles Lambing, of 9T Wilson Street, wrote a letter to whom It may concern on the back of a court notice and sent it to the court. The Judge ordered another summons Issued after reading the letter.

Lambing was to appear in court today to answer his wifes charges of non-support. She told the court that her husband was to pay her $4 a week, which he has failed to do, SEPARATE LV YEAR The Lambings were married on August 31, 1938, and separated ln Julv, 1939. The letter read: To Whom It May Concern: This woman left her home and was supported, as I have my gas bills, light and coal all paid. I can't keep two homes as I am keeping my mother, but am willing to keep my wife as I kept her before if she will come and live In the house provided for her.

Her father came and moved everything out. I want the money bark I already paid in. I have been sick. This woman is as able to work as I am. She is selling my product to my customers and cutting my business and still I am to pay her.

My wife was seen one month after with a man and had all new clothes, parading the streets and I have other evidence. No father or mother-in-law has a right in a democracy to break up another mans home. "Either this support charge must be dropped in the next few days or I will take action, as I want to live in peace as any citizen would under these conditions. "MR. CHARLES M.
