Ambassador Kennedy Breaks Wrth Roosevelt The Chicago Daily News, owned by Frank Knox, Roosevelt appointee as Secretary of the Navy, in the Wednes­ day evening issue carrieg a cablegram stating that Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy/, to England, had broken with Roosevelt oyer his foreign policy, had left London hastily and was return­ ing to this country by the “Clipper'" and would not return. Kennedy in his official position has been put in an embarrassing situa­ tion for he states that Roosevelt has not kept his promise to aid Britain add that the latter could not hold out against the air and sea warfare con­ ducted by Germany, The dispatch states that Roosevelt tried, to prevail on Kennedy to remain in London un-' til after,,the election but he refused to do so and is homeward bound.

Probate Court Costs Hit New Deal High The cost o f operation of the Pro­ bate Court in Greene county keeps pace with the New 'Deal standard of spending the taxpayer’s dollar. We have taken from .the Greene County Auditor's books, the cost of operation of this court for. the four years, 1933 to 1936 inclusive under Judge S. G. Wright, Republican, for comparison with the cost of operating the court the past four years includ­ ing the time Judge George H. Smith, who resigned, and the time Judge Homer Henrie has presided over the court, " - Under-the previbua- four year* with Judge. Wright on the bench the bud­ get for court alone totaled- $27,486.10, and the Juvenile Court, $38,671.63, a total tor the tour years of $66,057.75. The cost under-the New Deal ad­ ministration of the Probate Court from 1937 to 1940 according to the budget, up to Octobei 1st this year, is as follows: Probate Court, $29,- 699.36.- Juvenile Court, $41,177.43,' or total of $70,876:79. In addition to the above the Probate Court has jurisdiction over spending Federal and .State aid, which for the four New Deal years, amounts to $61,- 650.78, of which $13,378.69 is for only nine months this year. Combining, the cost of probate and juvenile courts fo r the four year period and the fed­ eral-state aid the total , reaches the staggering sum of $132,627.57. The Greene county tax payer pays his share of the federal and state aid twice through different forms of taxa­ tion. The federal contributes one half, while the other half is divided be­ tween the state and county. Other increased costs of operating the Probate Court are not shown but comparison is made that under Judge Wright's administration the court oc­ cupied the suite of four rooms in the court hoiise that have been used for years. In addition under Judge Den- rie, two rooms have been rented out side Which cAlls for rent, light and heat. The personnel has also been greatly increased over four years ago/ The administration of the Probate Court under the two New Deal Pro/ bate Judges the past four years, to October first, this year, shows an in­ creased cost amounting to $4,819.04, exclusive of the cost of federal-state ounty aid. 6LOCALMEN INCOMPANYL, LEFTFORCAMP Six local hoys left Xertia Wednes­ day with the Greene county unit, Company L, O.
