Utah, April 29u' i'i A preliminary hearing for Milton H. Welling, secretary of state, on two charges of felony, opened today before City Judge M. J. Bronson. The courtroom was crowded as the state announced it would open with a complaint charging the state official with presenting a fraudulent claim to the state board of examiners. This complaint is based on a $100 check paid Golda Richards on June 29. 1931. She is the wife of Harold Richards, former secretary of state employe, and never worked in Welling's office, of-fice, the state contends. Th" other charge is that Welling did not pay the state $825 collected col-lected as motor vehicle department depart-ment fees. Burton W Musser, defense attorney, at-torney, immediately submitted a demurrer and began arguments. Indications were the arguments would last most of the day. and that the state would not call any of its witnesses, who have been subpoenaed, before tomprrow. In hi? argument Musser declared de-clared the complaint was not a caus for action, as it failed to show that the secretary of state presented the claim with the intent in-tent to defraud.

He was found in possession posses-sion of a home from which he had been evicted. Judge Ellertson declared today that he will no longer tolerate such communications, which attempt at-tempt to intimidate the court. He has had several annonymous letters let-ters but this last communication, received Monda' morning, was signed by Ray Chapman Sevey," secretary and Charles Nesson, chairman, of the Salt Lake Unemployed Un-employed council. The Provo judge said he believed be-lieved that the authors of the letter let-ter were ignorant of the fact that such a letter is contemptuous and can call for a court trial and possible prison sentence.

April 29 H'.l'i -Handy & Harmon, bullion dealers, today fixed the price of foreign bar silver at 75", cents an ounce, a decline of 1 cent from the previous prev-ious quotation. The drop reflected weakness in the London bar price and in mont-real mont-real silver futures as result of failure of the United States treasury treas-ury to advance its newly mined price last week when the world market levels rose above the 77.57 cents mark. On Friday bar silver here sold at 81 cents an ounce, a jump of 4 cents over the previous close, and just about 4 cents an ounce over the treasury's net price for native metal. However, the treasury treas-ury failed to increase its level, and since that time silver has declined de-clined in the world spot and future markets. Fixing of the price in the New York market was delayed about an hour beyond the usual time. It was learned selling orders predominated. pre-dominated.

She called out troops last fall when workmen sought to proceed pro-ceed with Park dam construction on her territory. The government was granted a temporary injunction, injunc-tion, but this was set aside today when the court found that Parker dam required specific congressional congression-al authorization, and that this had not been given. Reclamation Commissioner El-wood El-wood Mead went into a hurried conference with Edward H. Foley, chief PWA counsel, on the situation situa-tion created by the ruling. The court' ferantf Hig las ue hing-ed hing-ed on provisions of the recovery act which set up the public works fund.

President Asks Nation To Aid In Great Drive On Enforced Idleness Roosevelt Gives Clear Exposition of Big Work-Relief Organization in Fireside Chat To the Nation By FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Correspondent , WASHINGTON, April 29 (U.R) President Roosevelt's fireside chat with the nation was generally regarded today as an effort to place the pressure of public opinion against a congress rebelling over some New Deal proposals. The chief executive departed from custom by not only discussing pending legislation, but also by warmly endorsing four bills. Banking Bill Up Today The house today took up one of those bills, the administration's adminis-tration's banking bill. It was expected to pass the house, but faces a hard fight in the senate. The senate finance committee took up another NRA extension. Congressional opinion of the president's address last night was for the most part non-committal, but some little resentment against his warm-hearted endorsement of pending pend-ing legislation was apparent in some quarters. Mr. Roosevelt endorsed fourJ- ' legislative proposals the banking bill, NRA extension, the bill abolishing abol-ishing certain public utilities holding hold-ing companies, and his administration's adminis-tration's social security program. All measures have been delayed by debate and opposition, either in committee or on the floor ef one or the other chamber. Crusade Against Idleness His address in the main was devoted to an exposition of his $4,880,000,000 work relief plan for realizing full recovery. He asked the nation to join in"a great national na-tional crusade to destroy enforced idleness." He announced that the work-relief campaign already was under way, and asked the co-operation of every citizen to see' that every dollar is spent honestly and efficiently. Only once did he refer to enemies ene-mies of his administration and his program, and then by inference The remarks did not necessarily apply to Senator Huey P. Long or Father Charles E. Coughlin, or to any individual, but some observers attached much significance to them. He said the public was aware that recovery could not be achieved achiev-ed in a day or a year, but that the public also knew recovery was under un-der way. Plan Of Attack "It i& being done," he said, "in spite of the few who wish to confuse con-fuse them (the public) and profit by their confusion. In outlining his plan of attack on the depression, Mr. Roosevelt emphasized : 1. National cooperation in administering ad-ministering the work-relief fund "to establish the practical means of helping those who are unemployed unem-ployed . . . and assist materially in our already unmistakable march toward recovery." 2.

The weapon was lying about two feet from the body. The husband, police said, was at work for the Oregon Short Line.

Highlights Of Fireside Chat WASHINGTON, April 29 L.i: Hierhligrhts of President Roosevelt's "Fireside Chat": O Americans as a whole arc teel? ing a lot better a lot more cheerful cheer-ful than for many, many years. O Never since my Inauguration Inaugura-tion in March, 19SS, have I felt so unmistakably the atmosphere at-mosphere of recovery. O The objective of the nation has greatly changed in three years. Before that time" individual self-interest self-interest and group selfishness were paramount in public thinking. Three years of hard thinking have changed the picture. O- The overwhelming majority of the people in this country know how to sift the wheat from the chaft in what they hear and what they read. O The most difficult place in the world to get a clear and open perspective of the country coun-try as a whole is in Washington. Washing-ton. O The first objective (of the work-relief program) is to put men and women now on the relief rolls to work, and, incidentally, to assist materially in our already unmistakable march toward recovery. re-covery. O While our present and projected expenditures for work-relief are wholly within the reasonable limits lim-its of our national credit resources it is obvious that we cannot continue con-tinue to great governmental deficits de-ficits for that purpose year after year. O Our froblem to put 3,500,000 employable persons now on relief rolls to work ... Is a problem quite as much for private pri-vate industry as for the government. gov-ernment. O I well realize the country is expecting ex-pecting before this year is out to see the "dirt fly." The allotment of funds for desirable projects has already begun.
