SWEETWATER, Tex. (UP) —
An attempt was underway today
to drain the city lake here to re-
cover the gun with which Rafael
Camacho, Ranger youth who hang-
ed himself in •Weatherford jail
yesterday, said he killed ’ W. J.
O’Leary, assistant Big Spring
police chief.
State police, failed to find the
weapon in waist-deep water at
the spot marked on a map which
Camacho left. City Engineer J. C.
Morris Jr. said; however, that the
crude map’s designations were ac-
curate.
Workmen encountered difficulty
in opening the outlet valve to the
lake. The lake once was used for
city’s water supply, but was aban-
doned many years ago when new
dams were built. The valve to
drain the lolrn has not been open-
ed in 10 years.
The point marked on Camacho’s
map as the place where Jie threw
the pistol is about 12 yards from
the water's edge.
The searchnig party here in-
cluded Captains John Reed of Fort
Worth and W. W. Legg of the

AUSTIN, Tex. (UP)—State
Treasurer Charley Lockhart’s
semi-monthly treasury statement
today showed a decrease in the
deficit in the state general reve-
nue fund for the first time in
many months. Prompt tax-pay-
ers were credited with reducing
the deficit from $23,812,583 on
Nov. 20 to $22,437,103.
Outstanding warrants against
the fund issued prior to March 1,
were called in for payment.
Deficit in the Confederate pen-
sion fund was $2,685,734. Con-
federate pension warrants issued
prior to December 1938 were be-
ing paid. Warrants still held' by
the pensioners, and undiscounted,

Kuhn, his shoulders squared,
stood white-faced and rigid as
Judge James G. Wallace pro-
nounced sentence.
The three counts on which
Kuhn was sentenced were one of
grand larceny and two of third
degree forgery in connection with
a $500 legal fee raised by the
Bund for attorney James D. C.
Murray, retained by Kuhn to rep-
resent the organization in a Nas-
sau County case.
Kuhn said the money was paid
to the attorney but Murray and
h’s assistant denied receiving a
cent.
The counts on which sentence
was suspended dealt with $717.02
of the Bund’s money which Kuhn
spent to pay the moving costs of
Mrs. Florence Camp, California
blonde who the Bund leader call-
ed “My Golden Angel.”
Kuhn was convicted by a jury of
12 business men last Wednesday
night.

dozen love letters Kuhn wrote to

The Finns had evacuated Hoag-
land, Pravda said, and the Russian
forces of occupation encountered
no resistance.
Russia not only will boycott
the League of Nations meetings
called to consider a Finnish ap-
peal but will resign, following
Nazi Germany’s footsteps, if any
action is taken against her, well-
informed quarters forecast today.
Foreign Commissar Viacheslav
Molotov, after rejecting a Finnish
proposal for negotiation submitted
through the Swedish government,
had addressed an angry note to
Josepn A. Avenol, League secre-
tary general, announcing that
Russia would not attend the meet-
ing on the Finnish appeal and
asserting that the League's pub-
lication of the “offensive and
slanderous” Finnish appeal was
“manifestly incompatible with
the requirements of due respect
for the Soviet Union.”
Prospects that Russia would
quit the League were strengthen-
ed, apparently, by recollection
that Josef Stalin had once re-
ferred to The "so-called League of
Nations” and that before Russia’s
entrance the Bolsheviks had al-
ways derided it as an organiza-
tion of imperialists formed to
perpetuate the iniquities of the
Versailles Treaty — the Hitler
view. Reversion now to an anti-
League policy, it was suggested,
would be natural.
The Communist* newspaper or-
gan Pravda, in an article guarded-
ly referring to the departure of
the Russian Baltic fleet from the
Kronstadt naval base, said:
“Our fleet fearlessly approach-
ed the enemy’s fortress and loosen-
ed a barrage of gunfire which
reduced Finnish and English con-
crete and metal to powder. The
new cruiser Kirov received its
baptism of fire.”
It .was reported in usually re-
liable quarters that as a-part-of-
the baptism the Kirov had been
damaged and had put into the
port of Tallinn,! Esthonia.
The official Tass news agency
said of Commissar Molotov’s re-
fusal to accept the Finnish nego-
parade that will feature the initial
appearance of Santa Claus, direct
from the North Pole, here Friday
afternoon.
Parade Chairman Earl »W.
Adams announced at a meeting
of the Henderson Christmas Events
Committee this morning that the
parade will start from the Central
Elementary School grounds at
3:30 p.m. All entrants will meet
at the school prior to that hour, he
said. The committee meeting was
held at the Chamber of Commerce
offices.
The parent-teachers associations
and band clubs of schools in the
county have already begun to pre-
pare floats in the parade, which
is assured of being successful be-
offer.

A general Republican move-

Vandenberg, in a statement,
held Mr. Roosevelt personally re-
sponsible for Soviet recognition
on Nov. 16, 1933. He called for
formal presidential inquiry to
determine whether “pledges in
