“\ hill can be drawn that will

Rushton declared that an an
alysis ol the number of slayings

Rep. Hoffman
Charges Smear
Campaign On
CIO, Administration
Sponsor It, He Says;
Secretary Quizzed
! Galling of his secretary before
the Washington federal grand
jury investigating operations of
Axis agents merely the begin*
ning of a “smear" campaign
sponsored jointly by administration
leaders and the CIO, Rep. Clare
Hoffman, Allegan Republican,
charged Saturday.
Hoffman's secretary. Miss Helen
Boyer, has appeared twice before
the grand jury and has been
ordered to hold herself ready for
future testimony.
“There in no reason why Miss
Boyer should he called before
the jury except in an effort to
smear me,” Hoffman said. “All
she ran do 1m tell to whom 1
have sent copies of my speeches,
nnd I would he glad to do that
myself.
Links 2 Documents
“In tad. I have offered to
appear before the grand jury
hilt have not been called. In
stead, they waited until I re
turned home and then called
Miss Boyer.”
Hoffman said his secretary has
been *in his employ for many
years first in his law - office in
| Allegan and later in Washington
and that there is absolutely m
reason why she should he involved
in the investigation personally.
The most vocal isolationist in
the House prior to the outbreak
of war, Hoffman has had consid
erable anti-war material inserted
in the Congressional Record, but
he said he believed the jury was
chiefly interested in two docu
ments entitled “We Burned Our
Fingers Once.” and “Don't Haul

ported here Saturday by John M.
Besemor, secret ary-manager of
the Florists’ Telegraph Delivery
Association.
“Flower sales are running far
in cxeess of last year,” Besemer
said.
The groat increase he attributed
to soldiers away from home who
are using the telegraph delivery
service to send flowers home to
sweethearts and families.

accounts for some of the increase,
he said, but the exact sales figures
will not bo available for several
weeks.
