1 consists of representatives of James J. Hoey, Collector of Internal Revenue in New York City, who wants to question Fortington about alleged income tax debts to Uncle Sam ranging from $120,000 to $200,000. Group No. 2 is manned by Quebec agents of the Dominion of Canada department of taxation. They have issued fruitless demands for Fortington's appearance In Montreal.

H.ED TO QCEBEC Group No. 3 is composed of law-yets and prorcss-servers for the multi-millionaire's wife, Mrs. Edna Winifred Fortington, daughter of Sir Ernest Jardine, of England.

Simultaneously it was made known that an order for his extradition to the United States only awaits final instructions on, Hoey's next move from the U.

S. Department of Justice. The issue is made more delicate by reasons of Fortington's former high position in the British Government. Fortington's daughter and only child, Nadia Jardine Fortington, won a London divorce last September from Graham Charles, master of Kinnaird. His parents.

The Negro baritone was engulfed by applause when he opened his remarks by saying: "I am happy tonight that Fascism has come to grips with the one Power that will give it no quarter.

They know why and for what they are fighting. If the other nations now fighting Fascism had made an honest approach to the Soviet Union, there would be no war today. "The English people also will struggle valiantly against Fascism with the Soviet Union. Of the common people of England, 85 percent were opposed to the appeasement policies of former Governments." He then urged this country to render full aid to the Soviet Union, so it could "tear Fascism out by the roots."

"The marked increase of taxes which accompanies national defense expenditures," declared a statement citing the need for a special commission, "tends to create strong pressure to reduce school casts and will be used as an excuse by numerous local, State and national taxpayers associations to reduce taxes without regard to results." 'CLOAK OF SUBVERSIVE One delegate, Abraham Lefkowlts, a Brooklyn.

N. high school principal, declared from the convention floor that "merchants' bureaus and chambers of commerce" were opposed to expenditures for schools and that other organizations "under the gulss of flag-waving want to undermine our schools."

The Dies Committee spokesman said the new organization has had its headquarters in Philadelphia since three months ago, when pressure against Its propaganda became too strong in New York.

Fhtraa SAC 6T ENEMIES IN SCHOOL yyy tssj lis mw DODGE TRUST RULING The old maxim that blood is thicker than water was upheld. In effect, in Orphans Court yesterday in a case involving $225,000 and former Director of Public Safety Kern Dodge.

Judge Grover C. Ladner ruled that Dodge and his mother, Mrs. Josephine Kern Dodge, acted with-inu their rights in withdrawing in stock from a $2,000,000 trust fund. CUTS 'IN-fAiV SHARE The triist fund would be distributed after the d'-ath of Mrs. Dodxe, is now 84.

and the withdrawal of half of it from distribution would diminish by an estimated $225,000 the share of Mrs. Samuel B. Eck-ert. of Rose lane, Haverford. Mrs.

Eckert is the former Mrs. Mildred Longstreth Dodge, who remarried afer the death of her first husband. Karl Dodge, of Ambler, In 1936. Karl Dodge was the brother of Kern Dodge and the son of the elder Mrs. Dodge.

NOT REPREHENSIBLE Mrs. Eckert, who had been left Karl Dodges entire estate, including his one-quarter interest in his mother's trust fund, entered objections to the stock withdrawal transaction. In upholding the transaction, Judc Ladner indicated he was basing hL decision partly on the "blood and water' theory. -That the settlor (Mrs. Dodge) end Kern Dodge may also have been motivated by a desire to read the In-laws out of the picture is not to be "retarded as anything reprehensible," he said.

PERHAPS DISAPPOINTED 'Perhaps the settlor was disappointed in seeing the two children who died appoint strangers to her blood, to receive their shares of the principal, one of them Karl Dodge) even passing over his own children." Mrs. Dodge had four children. Kern. Karl, Josephine and Fayelle. Karl Dodge left his share of the trust fund to his wife, now Mrs.

Eckert, while Fayelle Dodge, who died in 1935. left her share to her husband, Spencer K. Mulford. The latter, however, in 1940 assigned his share to Kern and Josephine Dodge, who Is now Mrs. Josephine Dodge Wilkinson.

ENTIRE ESTATE TO WIFE Ksrl Dodge left three children, one of whom is now of age, but he deeded his entire estate to his wife, it was brought out. This was referred to by Judge Ladner in his decision. When Mrs. Dodge created the trust in 2917, she reserved the right, at the option of her son and co-trustee. Kern Dodce.

to receive in whole or in part any dividends from the stock of the Link Belt making up a larze portion of the trust fund. This option was exercised by Kern Dodse and 20,000 shares received as dividends were distributed by Mrs. Dodpe. The shares are valued at approximately $1,100,000. MOTIVES IRRELEVANT This was the transaction objected to by Mrs.

Eckert. on the ground that her former brother-in-law. Kern Dodge, "was motivated solely with the desire to enlarge his personal pocket at the expense of hh; deceased brother. Karl, aad also at the expense of other persons interested in the estate." Judge Ladr.rr ruled, however, that the motives for the transaction were irrelevant. Blondie and Dagwood are funnier than ever since the new baby arrived.

Sporadic outbursts of violence put a new complexion on the tri-county milk holiday in this region today and resulted in 18 arrests by State Motor Police after hundreds of gallons of milk had been spilled or ruined. Roving groups of dairy farmers stopped 10 or i2 big milk trucks, opening the spigots or throwing kerosene into the raw milk. Although the charge against some of the men arrested was rioting, there were no actual injuries reported. FIRST DISORDERS The disorders were the first since the holiday was called last Monday. Members of the striking Dairy Farmers' Union, irked by continued deliveries on the part of the Dairymen's League, apparently decided to discourage further delivery.

First police action netted six men charged with lacing coal oil into the contents of a truck that was pulling into a milk shed at Nicholson. Wyoming county. Police said the men came up in an automobile and ruined the milk as the truck was climbing a steep grade on the road into the plant. FOUR YOUTHS SEIZED Iter four youths were arrested for a similar offense in Clifford township, Susquehanna county. The truck was driven by Donald Peck, of Gibson township.

For stopping it and ruining its contents, the four were charged with disorderly conduct and malicious mischief. Earlier in the day hundreds of gallons of milk were lost when a roving squad opened the spigot of a tank truck between Nicholson and Fac-toryville. The eight men arrested on charges of rioting presumably were accused of this and other sabotage. HIGHER PRICE ASKED Although the day's violence was confined to Wyoming and Susquehanna counties, Wayne county also is embraced in the strike. The holiday was called to enforce farmers' demands for a rat price of $3 per hundredweight for their milk.

The action of approximately 200 farmers in the tri-county region tied up with similar action Tuesday in New York State, where the same price per hundredweight is being demanded. Before the strike the union farmers were getting $2.65 for their product. Mary Padgett, well-known women's club editor, brings you complete news of women's club activitie every day in The Inquirer.
