Alabama Senator Avers Roosevelt Recognized Congress Might Have To Make Provision For Such Expendilurc; Views in Message.

Mail la Family Affair For South Carolina M’oman

91

Washington, March 19.— (AP) — Senator Bankhead (D., Ala.), told the Senate to­day that President Roosevelt, although he did not ask for “ parity” payments to farm­ers when he submitted his budget, had recognized that CqngreB.s might have to make provision for such expendi­tures. Bankhead urged that the Senate approve the action of it.s Appropriations Com­mittee in adding $212,000,000 to the Agriculture Depart­ment bill to aid farmers in raising their purchasing pow­ers toward the pre-World War levels of 1904-14.

Tbe Alabama senator said the president's views had been made Known in his January budget mes­sage. when Mr. Roosevelt pointed out that while he had made no provision for '"parity" payments, such outlays might be found to be necessary If farm prices did not advance as expected.I'hought War flight Raise Prices

"TTie president, among others, apparently thought that the war in Europe might raise fsirm prices to the point where parity pay­ments would not be needed," Bankhead said.

This has not yet taken place and may not, he said, urging that the money be made available for any emergency. Bankhead contended that tbe income of producers of cotton, wheat, corn, rice and to­bacco last yssr atlU was 81,600.- 000,000 beftHV pre-World War lev^-*deeplte psysients made in 1930.

While the Senate debate on the farm bill proceeded toward a set­back for the congressional econ-

\omy drive, there came word from am Treasury that income fax col­lections ran 26 per cent ahead of last the first 16 days ofMarchN.

Oollectiqns for the 16 days this year were\|319,090,247, as com­pared With (^ ,038 ,031 in 1939.

13 Charges; Conway Found Guilty; To Be Sentenced on April 8.Boston March -9.—(O —A Suf­

folk county Jury convicted Former Superior Court Clerk John Patrick Connolly of 13 charges of bribe solicltatloo today, including eight felony coimts.

The jury, which deliberated throughout the night, also con­victed William T. COnway, "friend” and oo-defendant of Con­nolly, on 11 misdemeanor counts, including one of conspiracy with Connolly, on which the latter also was found guilty.

Superior Court Judge George F. Leary of Springfield, who presided at the trial, flxld ball at $10,000 for each defendant snd set April -f at 2 p. m., aa-the time for sen­tencing.

Acquitted of Eight ChargesConolly was sNjuitted of eight

of the charges against him and Conway was found not guilty on three.

The former Superior court clerk, who resigned last July In the face of ouster proceedings by tbe Boston Bar Association, which charged him with a county Job- selling scheme, broke down and wept as he addressed the court' after the verdicts were read by Jury Foreman FranlkJRuaaell.

"I realize my erlim,” he said. "I do not intend to run away but will accept my punishment.”

New England Membcn I O f Congress and Town

Officials Appeal to I (^mmittee for Funds.;

Washington, March 1 0 - UP)— New Ehigland members of Con­gress and town officials appealed today for congressional authoriza­tion to construct flood control works on the Hooaick river in New York, Vermont and Massachu­setts. ^

They aliio sought additional au­thority to provide more local pro­tection for seven Connecticut river cities in &fsssachusetts and Con­necticut and for reservoir con­struction in the Connecticut and Merrimack valleys in New Eng­land.

Their requests were made to tbe House Flood Control commit­tee, which is,, considering legisla­tion for flood' control expected to total $188,000,00 for the United States.

Projects Considered.The projects considered were:The Hoosick river —channel Im­

provement and construction of levees at Bennington, Vt., Adams and North Adams, Mass., and Hoo­sick Falls, N. y., at a cost of $2,- 450.000.

Additional work on dikes and levees at Chicopee, Holyoke and West Springfleld, Mass., and Hart­ford and East Hartford, Conn.

Army engineers said they would need an additional authorlze.tlon of $21,000,000 to complete the Con­necticut river reservoir system. Congress already has authorized expenditure of nearly $14,000,000 for reservoirs and work has been started on three of the proposed 20 reservoirs.

In the Merrimack basin more funds will be needed to complete a system of four reservoirs. The $21,000,000 already authorized will permit constnictlor. o f three reser­voirs and work has commenced on two of them, engineers testtfled.

Mlllw Ask* FundsRepresentative Miller <R.,

Conn.) asked th* committee to in­clude a $249,000 p r o j^ for ( t e n ­sion o f local protective works mt East Hartford, Conn.

The project has been approved by Army engineers.

Charles J; Bennett, secretary of the Hartford Flood Commission, asked authorisation for Army en­gineers to Include the Hartford EHectric LJght Company plant within flood works at an additional cost of $190,000 to Hartford and $282,000 to. the United States.

t -Gerinany Seeking Safely |

So An to Free Her for Offensive on Western Front, Assure SuppliesRome, March 19.— (AP)—-

The possibility that Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini are considering ways o« | ‘neutralizing' Germany’s Bal­kan flapk so as to free her for an offensive on the western front 'emerged today as the chief point of diplomatic apec- ulation on what transpired in their historic Brenner Pass rendezvous. There was talk, .too, of a possible rapproche­ment between Italy and So­viet Russia before any three- way division of Balkan sphwes of infl.uence.

Diplomatic obaervera saw “neu- trallxation” of the Batkana not only aa a flank protection for Ger­many, but also a« k means of aa suring her . an unbroken flow of suppliee'overland to cotlnter the Alited Naval b l o c k a d e . '

These sources believed that Hit­ler to hla two and one-half hour railway car conference yesterday with It Duce sought aMurance that Italy stands ready to consider throwing her active, military Sup­port to Germany If the Reich should sustain too heavy losses to a smash on the western front.

Conjecture Only Answer Conjecture was the only avail­

able answer to the question of whether Hitler went back to Ger­man with such assurance.

Tbe clooest to an authoritative account o f tbe HiUer-Musaolinl conference — aiad this coucbqd chiefly to negative ternto—c|une from Giovanni Ansaldo, editor of II Telegrafo, Foreign Minister Count Galeqxao Ciano'a Leghorn newspaper.

He denied that the conference meant a change of Italian attitude or that It waa "linked with any toteroonUnottal . mission or aay peace plans elaborated by the mto- Istriea of the ‘two Romes'—Fascist Italy and ths Vatican.”

New Europe Order Seen

By GermansDetermined to Be Vic*

(Coattoasd Ua rage Bight)

Berlin, March 19—(/T)—Germans look'forward to "a new European order” to come from the forging of a Rome-Berlln-Moacow Axis.

After Reichsfuehrer Hitler re­turned to Berlin today from bis historic meeting with Italy’s Pre­mier Mussolini to Brenner Pass authorised German sources com­mented to this effect:

“We are determined to end this war victorioualy and thereafter to make sure that Germany’s es­sential life totereste are secure for all time and never again threat­ened, by plutocratic democracies."

Sttent On Aeoetd They nelthsr eonflnned nor de­

nied previous ■ Intimations that a Ruaaian-Italian accord, extending the RonM-Berlto axis, waa Impend­ing; but to response to one ques­tion the sources left no doiibt that they believed peace would be pre- eerved to the Balkans. \

Hitler returned at noon (6 a.m.. en.t.) from yesterday's conference at Brennero and received an ova­tion from a large crowd which gathered hurriedly as the train pulled to. Field MafMial Hermann Wilhelm Goering, 'the Rricha- fuehrer’s ranking aide, beaded the welcoming officials.

One authorised commentator, dealing with Ruaslan-ltallaa rela­tions—believed to have bem one major topic of the Bnuner P us discussion-said n diatlneUon must be drawn between practical { t i ­tles and Ideologies.

The motion, put by Edouard flerriot, president iof the Chamber, w u passed without a record vote shortly after the deputies had con­vened to question Premier Dala- dler on conduct o f the war.

The Chamber had its lu t secret soMion to Febniary and the Sen­ate ended such a oeMlon tu t Fri­day with a- unanimoua vote of con­fidence In Daladler.

All except deputies Immediately were cleared from the chamber and guards stationed at ths doors.

tinue without interruption until a vote Is taken on the queatlon of confidence In the Daladler govern­ment.

Easter SealsSales at $150

'■■■ * '

Report Made on Local Contributions; Fund Aids Crippled Children

Easter aeals, the aale of which la being conducted locally by a com­mittee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Charles 8. House, has reached a total of slightly over |150, The sale will continue through Eaater Sunday.

Streseing the fact that the prob­lem of the physically handicapped in Connecticut Is an economic as well as a social. Miss Gertrude Norcross, executive secretary of the Connecticut Society for Crip­pled Children, tbday aaid that there are hundreds of crippled boys and Kiris in our state who have only a ilmited education and find them­selves totally unprepared for the competition of industry. "These people don't expect special concea- slone, and they don't want to be the objects of sympathy," said Miss Norcross. "A ll they want la an equal opportunity to become use­ful, self-supporting citizens."

Vooatlonal Guidance Miss Norcroas stated that a por­

tion of the money raised through the Easter seal sale now being con­ducted throughout the State will be used for the extension of the society's vocational guidance pro­gram. This phase of the work di­vides Itself Into two parts. First, the referring of cases to the voca­tional rehabilitation division of the State Department of Education; and second, the establishment of carefully supervised workshops by the society for the training of those not yet ready for eroplyoment In regular Industry, either because of the severity of their handicap, their mental attitude, or their lack of vocational training.

Results achieved In the Bridge­port and New Haven workshops nave justified the soclety'e belief that this phase of the work Is ren­dering a practical and humanita­rian aervice. A workshop will soon be opened in Hartford, and It Is hoped that this aervice may be ex­tended to other parta of the State.

Selectmen Confronted i By Financial D rought! Hope Rain W ill Wash i Their Troubleo Away, j

■■■ ■ . IBy E. Naloolm Slannard

I f there is plenty o f rain. Man- cheater's highway department may get through tbe flocai year without overdrawing' it« appropriation. Thie, and other cockeyed-./and apiazing revelatlone were drawn from a meeting of the Board of Selectmen laat night at which local highway condltlona were dlocueaed. The Manchester Highway Depart­ment le an abandoned ship. All tbe offlcere have taken to the boats and there Isn't anyone to direct anything. From admioeione mada by those tbemselvea concerned, the town's total of about $65,000 in highway, oiling and snow removal money is being passed out without let, hlnderance or control,

la the DarkTown Engineer J. Frank Bowen,

who la supposed to be administer­ing the department, last night told the Selectmen he hasn't known since January 2 how the depart­ment finances stand. ITie members of the highway committee proudly boast that they "haven't Inter­fered with the highway for over a year", and the foreman and super­intendent had to think some be­fore, on a direct question, they de­rided that they had about 36 em­ployees in their department.

In the face of rank inefficiency and Incompetence In administra­tion, It ehouldn't be any eurprlae to the taxpayers to know now. In spite o f all the explanation that Is going around, that they can expect to fork over about $10,000 more for highway costs this year than was provided for In the budget.

Pray for RainIt Is said that on rainy days, all

the highway gang will be laid off hereafter until the end of the present fiscal year In August. Thus, If there Is a lot of rain enough may be saved In money bq that there won't be too much of a deficit. Meanwhile, the condition of the roads suffers.

Strategy SlantAlthough It is claimed that

there aren't too many men now working on the roads, the fore­man, William Pitkin, explained he had kept aeverat extra men hang­ing around because "It looked like jinow," and when anow actually did fail some daya later, the wis­dom of keeping the men on was demonstrated. And no selectman queationed the process of reason­ing which prompted this strategy.

Selectman Harold Symington did vainly try tq find out who was responsible for the highway de­partment, but the only answer he got was an explanation from Chairman of the Board David Chambers as to how the depart­ment was conducted back In 1913, not at all enlightening in the pres­ent circumstance. _

Foreman Pitkin said that so far as he Is concerned, he is willing to lay off men when they aren't need­ed, only then "they go to a Select­man who puts them back on again," or apparently worse— "they write open forum letters In the paper and raloe a lot of com­motion." It appeara that the highway department In run for the welfare of Its employees above all, and for the town next.

Inefllcleaey Coet It would not ba fair to condemn

tbe Individual afforta of aom# of tbe employeea of the department, a great many of whom work bard and conscientloualy at their joba, although some don't. It Isn't In­tended to take shots at what la right with tbe department It Is high time that what la wrong with It waa corrected. I t doean't appear too far out to estimata tl\at the town la paying. In Ita highway appropriation, about 15 per cent for Inefficiency, which can be cut out by aenoible. If draatlo action.

First o f all thera should be some one to administer and operate the department.

Engineer Bowen, up to now, hoa been two mootha In the dark as to his appropriation, ha atatoa. Ha saya he la even more In a blackout about how tbe money la spent In his department. He clalma he sees the payrolls generally, but he doesn't buy e^ipment, supplies or materials. 'These, he says, are bought by selectmen and others without his knowledge.

Moat of the Selectmen haven't known what has been going on for a whole year In the highway de-' partment.

It aeems to have been Imagined that the highway department could run Itself, but the Idea hasn'tworked.

Need AdministratorThere is one fact that stands out

in this whole muddle. A highway department administrator la woe­fully needed. A man la needed who can lay out the work and di­rect Ita accomplishment. A man la needed who underatanda how to keep accounts, and what hla ap­propriation means, how It Is made up and how It goes out A man la needed who Isn't any mora back­ward about laying off, hiring or firing than khyone In a similar po­sition In private Industry would be. In short, a man Is needed who can give hIs whole time and abil­ity to the running o f tbe highway department, nod he ahould have enough backbone to fight against any Infrlngment of hla authority, capably handled, by Selectmen or anyone elae so long as he is re- sponalble for the department In that way can come economy and emclency. There Is no poealble hope o f either under present con­ditions.

New BeMpmeetSee how the lack o f dyitem

works new. Reoantly the town ^ an t some 380,000 foe new oqolp- mont, and about 86.000 mora has gone Into mechanical tmprova- Bsaatn since that tima. Tha natural

reason one buys such equipment Is to reduce manual labor and'speed up reaults. It is the general claim that in such a way a oiseabie amount o f money can be saved. Now bear the statement of the highway group.

Fairy StoryIt U claimed that, on account of

"all tha equipment" it takes a lot more money to run it—hence a larger highway appropriation. In­stead of cutting coots, then, the town has epent $26,000 for equip­ment on which it must pay more and get less than it did by manual labor. I f this is true, Manchester Is in the singular poaitlon of expe­riencing aomething no other part of the country la going through. Of course it Isn't true. It la an ex- cuse made to try to square an In- efllcient administration. The cav­ings that ahould rea^t from sensi­ble use of the nlw equipment should far offset the coat of Ita op­eration.

Laat night thwSelectmen flgrured that up to Marcn 2, all but $17,000 of the highway general fund, and all but $3,600 of the oiling fund have already been spent. There la a lot of work to be done this spring. Without doing any road- bulldlng, but just doing the neces- ■ary repairing. It seems that there Is hardly a hope, under the pres­ent system, that the town will es­cape without a big overdraft.

H ie Town PaysI f It was a private company. In­

stead of the town, which owned 150 miles of roads on which $66,000 was spent annually, the setup wouldn’t be handled by anything except an efficient, well-planned routine.

When you base the operation of the highway budget on the preva­lence of rain, the adminietratlon of Ita finances on knowledge two months Old, and the general ad­ministration of ita business on a complete lack of responsibility, you have a condition that Is funny eX' cept that It Is costing the taxpay­ers two mills a year.

New Europe Order Seen

By Germans(Oeattaiied From Page Ooe)

Moscow for certain practical ob­jectives could well be envlaamed.

For Instance In tbe economic realm, Italy, Germany and Russia could well work together. In the political realm also, they could dovetail (heir interests, espicially In southeastern Europe. There al­so they could .work, together to ward off any possible encroach­ment by western European powers on their vital Interests.

Great Gulf IdeologloallyIdeologically there was a great

gulf between Communism on the one hand and Naalism and Fas­cism on the other, but these differ­ences did not Interfere with the realistic policies followed by all three of the powers.

Labor Board Membersy .

Aceused by ColleAgueLeisetson Asserts Dth*

ers UpM t Rather Than Encourage Collective Bargaining Contracts.

Washington, March 19 —(*7 — William L. Leisereon accused his two colleagues on the National Labor Board today of upsetting rather than encouraging coll^tlve bargaining relationships by one of their decisions.

Lelserson dissented from a ma­jority opinion ordering tbe Mc- Quay-Norrla manufacturing Co., of Indlanapolia to Incorporate in a signed agreement with tbe United Auto Workera (CIO ) a clause g iv­ing the union exclusive recognition as bargaining agent for all produc­tion employea In the plant. .

The board majority—Chairman Warren Madden and Edwin S.

|mlth—held that the company had zlled to engage In collective bar-

*galning as contemplated by the Wagner act through refusing to write such a clause Into the agreement The union's majority status, they said, was conceded by the company.

Agreed to Clause In 1988The two board members said

that the company agreed in 1938 to a contract clause recognizing tbe union as sole bargaining agent for its members, and promising to deal writh no other agent except Individual or groups of employes.

UAW locals from McQuay-Nor- lis plants In St. Louis and Con- neraville, Ind., who took part In the negotiations, accepted thia clause and algned an agreement. Officers o f tbe Indlanapmis local demurred, however, pending board action on tbelr complaint.

Leloerson, who recently criti­cized many board practices before a House committee, expressed the opinion that the complaint never should have been authorized by tbe board and ahould be dismissed.

“ It aeems to me,” he said, "that the- board Is unnecessarily Inject­ing Itself into a situation where an employer and a union have reach­ed, complete agreement, and that It Is thereby uAettIng collective bargaining relationships rather than encouraging them.”

Agreement Excinalve OneHe aaserted It was an undisput­

ed fact that the agreement was an exclusive one in actual practice, because the company had offered to deal wdUi the union as the only agent of its employea and to apply the agreement uniformly to all employes.

The Indianapolis local, be add­ed, would have been satisfied with tbe recognition clause acceptable to the employer If It had not been for •*orer-anxlety” o f the board’s Indianapolis regional director to settle a “ moot question o f the wording o f the recoghltim clause."

Lelserson also criticized the di rector for Issuing notices o f a hearing In the case four months before receiving board authorizs' tion.

Maddrti and Smith said the company refused to agree to an unqualified recognition clause for fear It wrould incur “ reprisals' from an A F L union.

Fight Looms Over Salary

Foes o f Russell W ill Try To Block New York City Paying Educator.

New York, March 19.—(/T)—A political fight to knock out Ber­trand Russell's $8,000 salary from the school budget waa threatened today in the wrake of the white- haired educator’s api>olntment as a philosophy professor at the City Ckillege of New York. r

Despite a tempest raised over unconventional views on morals and marriage expressed In the thrice-wed, twice-divorced British aristocrat's books, the board of higher education ratified bis ap­pointment last night by an ll- to -7 vote.

Criticizing this as "defiance to the views o f a majority of our peo­ple,” Bronx Borough President James J. Lyons said:

“ When the budget Is up for con­sideration, I shall move to strike out the line which provides for the compensation o f this dangerous ap­pointment."

Lyons said he also was confident the City council would take steps to see that Russell never took over the post at City College—on a city-paid salary.

Board’s Aotloa Offense Protestant Episcopal Bishop Wil­

liam T. Manning, who started the controversy Feb. 29 by denounc­ing Russell as a defender o f adul­tery and a 'recognized propagan­dist against both religion and morality," said the board’s action was "an offense against public decency."

Bishop Manning and former U. 8. Attorney Charles H. Tuttle, a member o f the board, led tbe fight against the Russell appointment. They were supported by ths Na­tional Committee for Religious Re­covery and Catholic religious or­ganizations.

A score or more o f clergymen, however, joined loading educators, a majority of the City College stu­dent body, 800 members o f the teaching staff and the Parents As­sociation o f ths college In defend ing tbe appointment on the issue of academic freedom.

DioUkea Blghtfnl tltlee Russell, a member of the Eng­

lish peerage, who dlsHkea and nev­er uses his rightful titles o f "earl'' and “viscount,” made no reply to Bishop Manning other than to oay he had learned It wras "best to Ignore” such attacks.

Now teaching ac^the University o f California, at Loa Angeles, he will lecture at Hnrvard before coming here next Jaauary to teach logic and the philosophy o f matb^ matlcs and science. 1

In a atatemeot annotmclng the higher board’s vote oonfirmlng hie appolntme^ Chairman Ordway Tead said Rtiaoell was "one o f tbe twro or three most outstanding liv­ing mathematical phlloaoj^eta” who would bring to the college “ the reputation o f a worid-re- nowned scholar now rounding out a dlatlngulahed eareer.”

Odium Directs Huge Merger

Plans to Combine lnvpst* ment Trust With Avia­tion Companjr.

New York, March 19— (iP)— Floyd B. Odium, the 48-year-old financier who is tbe husband of America's leading woman flier, Jacqueline Cochran, emerged to­day as one of the most powerful figures in aviation, directing a $165,000,000 merger.

Plans (or combination of his in­vestment trust. Atlas Oorp., with Curtiss-Wright corp., pioneer avia­tion manufacturing company, was announced jointly by Odium and by George N. Armsb}', chairman, and Guy W. Vaughan, president, of Curtiss-Wright.

The current market value of Atlas Stock was estimated at $60,- 000.000 and that of Curtiss-Wright at $105,000,000.

Through an lnterchange_aLatock —to bo voted upon within three weeks by the shareholders of both companies—the investing firm will make available to the airplane, en­gine and propeller manufacturing company a ‘ liquid capital” of $36,500,000.

To Speed Operatlona This fund will be used to speed

operations on the $170,000,000 backlog of unfilled orders which It was recently estimated Curtiss- Wright hss on its books.

Financial circles regarded the merger as the largest single finan­cial operation In the history of aviation.

The quiet, sandy haired Odium, who worked his way through the University of Colorado as a fra­ternity house janitor, disclosed that he personally inaugurated negotiations for tbe merger three weeks ago, and said:

“WTiUe the merger o f an Indus­trial company with an investment company Is unique in tbe history of finance, it is entirely logical and. In this Instance, mutually advantage, ous.

“ For Atlas Corp. stockholders It opens the way for the same man­agement to carry on for the same stockholders In the field which said management considers most profitable and constructive, viz., special situations, and with as much capital as It considers ad­vantageous for this purpose.”

Organised as Private Pool Atlas Corp. was organized in

1923 as a private pool to trade In the mar*<et. Odium and George H. Howard who now heads United Oorp., each put in $20,000. It was a good-sized concern by the time o f the crash In 1929, and from that year through 1932—during the worst years of the depression — Atlas Miares increased In value by 40 per cent

Curtiss-Wright has developed Into a leading aircraft firm In direct line from tbe Wright Broth, era’ bicycle shop at Dayton.

Hatch Urges Government Pay Campaign Expenses

Washington, March 19—(JPi —^Bankhead also announced bis dls- Srnator Hatch (D.. N.M.), jubilant approval. Democratic Leader over Senate approval of his bill has b^n noncommittal.

. J, .... Republican Leader Martin saidextending Ihe present sntl-pollUca ,t would be difficult to get the leg- law, recommended today that the IslaUon to the floor this session be- Federal government finance poll- c»u"e the Rules Ck>mmlttee might UcbI rampaigna. refuse It the right-of-way even If

Such an Innovation In the Amer- *he Judiciary Committee recom- lean pollticarsystem, Hatch said, meoded its enactment. He em- probably would cost less than the phasized that he favored the bill, present method of raising party I however, funds by Individual contributions. Rsatrietlons Namerous

“ It's not a new thought," he add- reatrictlons which the billed. “ In a 1907 message to Cxm- 1 i rr numerous: greas, President' Theodore Roose- ] employea paid from Fed-velt advocated such legislation, j would l>e debarred fromSeveral atates have considered the ^ I 'llra l aettrtty. even the so-Idea."

The fate of the Hatch antl-poll- tlcs bill, meanwhile, passed over to the House, where action this ses­sion appeared highly doubtful Passed 58 to 28 by the Senate yes­terday, the metMiire would aubject some 500,000 state employes paid partly from Federal funds to the restrictions against political ac­tivity which now apply to Federal workers.

Pleased With Demoeratle VoteDemocratic [..eader Barkley and

Senator Hatch were pleaaed that a majority of Democratic senatora voted for the bill. It had produced a sharp split In the party ranks, In contrast with united support It re­ceived from the Republicans. No Republican voted against it yester­day.

Signs of .stiff House opposition, however, materiallze<l rapidly. Representatives O iler (D„ N. Y.) and Weaver (D.. N. C.), two mem­bers o f the Judiciary Committee, declared against I t Speaker

llciting of campaign contrlbu tions. However, they may express their views on political 'issues.

They may he candidates for o f­fice, provided they take a leave of absence without pay during the campaign and resign Immediately upon being nominated.

The Civil Service Commission would be the arbiter on questions of prohibited polities! activity. For violation of the law. the commis­sion could direct the withholding of Federal funds equal to twice the annual salary of the offending worker.

The bill would hit party wrar cheats by placing a $5,000 top on the amount of money any Individ­ual might contrlbtite In a year. Persons holding government con­tracts would )>e permitted to make no contributions.

The proposed maximum on con­tributions Is expected to lessen House support for the bill. Demo­crats have argued that the Repub­lican party wo\ild be the principal loser.

War in India Seen Possible

I.j'ftH'ing DiflsiHilerti Are Against CompromiBe With Britain.

Ramgarh. India, March 19.—(F) —The possibility o f civil wrar In India in event of a compromise be­tween the Gandhi-controlled All India Natlonallat Congress party and ‘Imperial Britain" waa ad­vanced to<lay by 8ubhos Chandra Bose, former Congress president, who has c^led a rump seasloit of leftwing dlMentera.

In a field adjacent to the alte of the plenary sesaton of the regular congress. Bose addressed follow­ers os president of “ the anti-com­promise Congress," and denounced Mohandas K. Gandhi and “the rightwing high command” as side­tracking Ihe Indian independence issue.

Gandhi adherents yeaterday de­feated motlona to expedite the de­mand for Independence over tbe veteran leader's insistence that native Indians must bo disciplined to refrain from violence before a civil disoltedlenre campaign Is started.

“The problem of the hour," Bose said today, "Is—will India remain under the thumb of the rightwing,, or swing to the left once and for all 7"

More Alert to OpareeeleaMeanwhile, the regular congress

was told by Its prestdent, Mauloiia Abdul Kalam Asad, that India hod been drawm tnto the war without her consent and that while she rnuld not endure the prospect of Nazlism or Fascism, she was even more alert to the Oppression of British Imperialism.

Indio, he sold, “ must and will go forward” on a path of non-coop­eration imtll Britain permits her to frame her own constitution without Interference. The funda­mental laeue, he added. Is the fact that Britain “ does not accept the position that India hM the right to self-determination.”

Admitting existence o f a minori­ties problem, he propoecd a con­stituent assembly m the best ao- lutlon.

He expreased confidence in Gandhi's leoderAlp and empha­sized refusal “ to see British Im­perialism triumphMt M d otrong- er.” 4

Board o f Tax Review Tells Selectmen That Older Se4*tlons Are Valued Too High.

Scoring what it terms an "In- squsUty o f sssessmentc' in Man­chester, the Board of Tax . Review, which took over tbe duties of the former Board o f Relief, last night notified the Selectmen that on en­tirely new asaeasment, as provided by law, la called for. The Tax Re­view group stated bluntly that as- aeasments now are too high In the older sectiona of towm as compared with the values placed on the new­er developments. And this, the Board notes. In spite of the fact that the newer homes enjoy a po­tentially better market and sale value.

No AppropriationAccording to law. a reasoessment loUld have been made this year,

but no appropriation for the pur­pose waa made by the town or recommended by the Selectmen. It la provided In the general statutes that a reaoseoament shall be made every ten years, and a local regulh- tlon further makes it necessary to reassess In each intervening five year period. There la no penalty for failure to do this, the Sele<:tmen were told last night, ao the matter has been let slide. However, some feel that any taxpayer who desired to contest an aasearment which was laid outside of stated regular procedure might have a good case.

Actlou TaMmLast night the Selectmen voted

to table action untU the next Board meeting, at which time the asses- sora and tax reviewers will be In­vited in to dlsctuM the problem. The last thorough reassessment was made here about five years ago.

When a local private nursing home advised the Selectmen that, due to additions it now is able to care for a larger numbei of town patients than heretofore, the In­formation originated a discuasion o f the private nursing situation as It affects the town. It was brought out that about 16 needy patients, suffering from various acute ail­ments, now are confined in nursing homes here.

Nearly glOOO Monthly Questioning brought out the'fact

that although board and care of these people comes to about 81,000 monthly, it Is cheaper to boaod them than to set up a section of the almshouse to care for them. To otaff such a town hospital with Buraes and private equipment and food would run In excess o f the sum now paid, it waa said. Certain sums which now accrue to the town from the state also would be lost, such as a person’s old age as- siatance payment, which automati­cally stopa When a person enters an almshouse, but can be applied on board and care in a private home.

It was voted to refer the ques- I qn tlon o f private nursing care to the

' charity committee.To Deay Claim

The Board voted to deny a claim for a new tire lofiged by Mrs. Charles W. Burnham o f Woodland otreet. H m claimant said ohe blew a tire when her car hit a hole in tbe road at the HUUard street un­derpass Saturday night The Board feela that highway conditions at the time were everywhere danger­ous due to abnormal weather con­ditions, and that claims for dam­ages traceabls to such conditions directly should not be allowed.

It waa voted that all perooiw who wish to be listed for jury service Buty so notify the Mectmen In writing.

Persons so M>Plylng, who fuIflH the necessary quaUfleations, will be .included among tbe 78 names from whldb the jury list to be finally picked will be chosen. Wo­men are eligible for listing. Tbe applications should be filed imme­diately as the names have tO|be submitted by the first Monday In April. .

TS Kesp FoiesTTie A. I. Savin construction

company, purchaser of the Oon- nectlcut company poles on Main otreet here, last night abked the Board of Selectmen, tp whom It had given tbe poles, to buy them Instead for the sum o f one dollar. TU s request waa made as there was a question o f Usbllity involv­ed, and tha construction company (tarirod to be freed o f i t The sale MgaBy would free them o f any

obligations. It was voted that the sale go through. The town wished the poles, which used tp support tbe trolley wires, to remain as It was felt that some future use for them In their present positions may be found.

Baldwin Raps Ticket Fixing

Governor Continues At­tack Against Politiirs in Auto Law Violations.

Bridgeport, March 19.—An ap­peal* for state-wide cooperation in tbe safety conference being spon­sored by the State Highway Com­mission at Yale University on March 27 wa.s voiced by Governor Raymond B. Baldwin last night In, hla radio broadcast carried over three Oonnectlciit statlona.

"We want all of you to come," said Governor Baldwin, "to listen to the talks that will be Riven, and to talk yourselfs in the genera] dis­cussions that will follow. If you feel* you have aomethtng worthwhile to contribute.”

Tbe chief executive stressed ’•equality for all” In the matter of handling motor vehicle violations, and continued hheblisterlng attack against "tlckat-flxlng."

Beeeeted Bt PnhUe"The plain people of this State,”

said the governor, “without politi­cal pull or friends in high pMtea, resent aeelng some fellow getting his ticket fixed. You know that If you committed the same offense, yoii’de have to pay a fine or go to jail.

’’Who does he think he ls7 And what kind of a law la It that tbe Individual can flout with Impunity? I f It’B a good law. It should be one that we ell have to obey.”

Governor Baldwin lauded the mayors, selectmen and police chiefs of the State who have cooperated with State agenciea In putting an end to ticket-fixing and in enfoi Ing traffic laws.

“We’ve gone along another step o f the way,” Governor Baldwin de­clared. "W e’ve begun aoning our local community highwaya, ea- tabllahlng lower speed Unfits for

bualness and residential areas. And let me remind you of this: remem­ber, you can't set up local speed zones in your own home communi­ty for your own protection and ex­pect other motorlaU to respect them It you yourself don’t respect the local speed limits In other com­munities when you drive through them.

"PollUcal FootbaU”"We cannot permit highway

safety to become a political Issue, a political football. We can not, we must not, play politics with human safety. Safety la safety, whether the pedestrian or the motorist be a Republican, a Democrat, or any­thing else. The campaign for high­way safety dates far back over many state and local administra­tions.”

In closing. Governor Baldwin spoke of the safety conference snd mentioned the various subjects and foruma which will highlight the sesaion. Among the apeakera, he pointed out, will be Eklward J, Hickey, Oommlsoloner of State Police; (Tolonel Samuel H.

He got a tbouaand doHara bdnua for two of them. The preaumption la that tho pUota of the alx ptaneo were all killed. Not many aacapo alive from ahot-down planea.

Dahl’a picturea don’t look In the very leaat Ilka a klllai'a picturea. He la tall and rather atender and very Intelligent looking. But It’a pretty hard to make anything out of him, according to hla own. atory, but a purely mercenary fighter who waa willing te ahoot down aviatora he bad never aeen and agalnat whom he hful neither a peraonal nor even a political dia- like, an a job.

And If the Hartford apecial committee doean’t wind up by atrongly rec­ommending auch an official in­quiry, whether It apenda a con- nlderable aum of money on an audit or not, It will be a little aurpriaing.

Wire Tapping' Bo many people In the United States are suffering from the Jit­ters In apprehension that some- body la going to take away their constitutional rights that there la a fair chance that presently no­body will have anything but those constitutional rights—nobody, that la, but the crooks, who will have not only their own constitutional rights but air the property In tho country Into the bargain.

Whence originated all this far flung and strident outcry against wire tapping? In whose Interest has It been stirred up? What has Induced so many nmfhipapera and respectable persond^ go Into a war dance oyer the shocking de­pravity of police and G-men In tapping the telephone wires of narcotic peddlers, extortionista, murder gangs, kidnapers, mall order awindlera and Income tax dodgers in order to get evidence or even working clues to help In bringing the thieves and klllera to justice ?

Frankly, we are as pibch mysti­fied as ,the genesis of tMa cruaade —the war aong of which Is "t^on- atitutlonal rights forever!” —aa we are by the disappointingly aervlle way In which J. Edgar Hoover and even Attorney-General Jackson have curled up on their backs, pawed the air and yielded to the tumult o f demand that wire tap­ping cease.

It la "unethical” Ho get evidence agalnat criminals by listening In on their telephone conversatlona. It Isn’t sporting., It Isn’t frank and open. So It mustn't be done. I f the evidence isn’t to be obtain^ ed in any other way, then the po­lice and the F. B. I. must do With­out I t That la fine for the crooks. But It la a bit tough on the crooks' potential vlctlma.

I f this sort o f thing continues then presently we shall have ten times aa many of the thieves, rackateera, extortlonlata, kldnap- era and all-around public enemies aa wa have now—because thelra will be the aafeat of all possible ways of amassing money.

Already the cumberaome, anti­quated procedure of ourHrinUnal courts gives the criminala a handi­cap of at least half way- around the course. A few mure auch man­acles auch as this wire-tapping order will double the handicap and tha crooks can -taka down the stake without even exerting them- selvea to leave the barrier.

Make everything as tough as posaibla for the cops and aa soft aa possible for the gangsters; that seems to be the objective. And when the triumphant racketeers have stripped ua all clean we can have the satisfaction of knowing that our constitutional rights to conspire and order killings over the phone have been preserved. Won't that be nice?

Britain’R Political StormThe Internal political storm in

Great Britain continues to gather, with now some rumblings of thun­der and distant flashes of light­ning. Mr Chamberlain Is expect­ed to try to appease It by cabinet changes, appeasement being hla long suit. It is even reported that he plans to take David Uoyd George Into hla war cabinet, be­cause Lloyd George has a strong­er hold on the rank and file of the British people than any other man in the country.

But Lloyd George was In Mr. Asquith's cabinet in the World War. And pretty soon Mr. As­quith waa out and Lloyd George was prime minister—and ran the war to Its Buccesaful conchislon. And Asquith was a stronger and more popular premier, than Mr. Chamberlain is.«

Lloyd George la old. But he Is not senile. And he Is a very de­termined and extremely able Brit­on. He got his country out of one ungodly muddle. There must be a great many Englishmen who would be glad to aee him have the chance to get It out of anoth­er.

But Mr. Chamberlain Isn't In the very least likely to forget what happened to Asquith.

Hartford's special citlaens com­mittee investigating the Public Welfare Department la now ask­ing for an allocation of $2,500 from a general audit fund to be used in obtaining an audit of cer- tsdn parts of the Welfare Depart­ment’s accounts going back to 1987. Lucius F. Robinson, Jr., chairman of the committee, made it known that a recent attack on the chairman made in the "testi­mony" of tba department's book-, keeper, Thomas w . O'Connor, would ORly increase the commit­tee's datermlaatlen to get at the facts—hence the need of thla par­ticular audit.

Hardening of the Arterlea

The arteries should be strong, 3ret flexible and elastic. The say­ing, *'A man la aa old aa his ar­terlea,” Is true. Most of us are bom with good arteries which will not harden prematurely unless we abuse them. All animals having a backbone, as well as humans, seem to be liable to develop arterial hardening with age.

Hardening of the arteries, which Is also called arterloaclaroela, may affect both the largo blood vesrels and tha very small ones, known at caplllarias. In the larger type of vessel the hardening process is usually moat marked where the vessel takes the moat strain — that is, at places where the vassels become narrow oV at points where they branch off.

The word “hardening" as ap­plied to an artery refers to a de­posit of lime. In addition to this lime deposit, the artery generally undergoes other changes, becom­ing rl^d. losing its elasticity, and becoming tortuous. There may be a thickening of its walls, affeetlng both the Inner coat or lining, and the muscular coat which makes up the middle layer. In the very small artery,, this thickening may be enough to close off the vessel entirely, preventing the blood from getting through.

,The function .of an artery la to carry blood. When the blood pas­sage is interfered with because the artery *>aa hardened, the blood circulation la thereby cut down The symptoms of arterial harden­ing therefore concern thenaaelves chiefly with the symptoms o f poor circulation.

The symptoms themaelves vary acoordlng to what part of tho body Is affected the most. For example, when the arteries of the brain are affected, the common symptoms are irrltabUlty, mental fatigue, dlssiness, and so on. In advanced cases, softening o f the brain and apoplexy may develop.

When the vessels feeding the heart are involved, the pattent may suffer the symptoms at an­gina pectoris, such aa shortness of breath, pain down the left arm, and weakness, following upon ex­ertion. When the arteries of the kidneys are affected, we find a pathological kidney similar to that aeen la B r in t ’a Dtsease. When arterial haittonlag is ac­companied by high blood preaaure. the very fine and dellcata vessels of the reUna of the eye may suf­fer.

Arterial hardening may arise fro m ^ ve ra l causes. Long con­tinued mental stress and strain la apparently a contributing cau However, I am firmly eonviaeed that the mala cause Is a dietetic cause, arisiaff in the prolonged over uae of sugars aad starches. Most patienU with arterial hard­ening will be found to be great starch eaters. Sugar fermanta- tlon apparently eontributes bm to the perpetuation o f the proceea than over uae o f meat The exceea o f starch takan over and above the IXM^s requirements la ap- parentto not burned property b the body, nnd the end-products re- mslntng after this Imperfact msta- beUam M ve a ffieat daal to do with buikBag up high blood pres­sure aad the arterial hardening erhlch so oftaa goes hand la hand with tha alavatad pressure.

Just around the comer and a lot xloaer than prosperity was when that phrase waa first applied to it, the W PA Is sailing Into a cam­paign to let the public know In dollars and dimes and graphic des­cription just what it has accomp­lished.

The story behind the story of what -you’ll be reading and hear­ing about W PA is thla: The Repub­licans, committed to relief them-

ilves, can only hope to blast the W PA by concentrating on waste and extravagance — if any. The Democrats have to spike these guns (and first, if pooslble) by making a relief ledger (books that are always in the red, you know) look like the balance sheet o f a going concern.

Worka Program Administrator Col. F. C. Harrington and others In tho Administration have been talking about telling the world all about W PA for a couple of years. But It took the pressure of a com­ing election to ^ t the program up on Its hind legs and howling. Be­lieve me, the two-fisted colonel and his press department have got their work cut out for them.

The Achlllce’ HeelThe Idea Is to follow the radio

and type barrage on genera) accomplishments with forays Into the states ,and finally a mop-up with releases to the nation’s S,(X)0 counties scouting the Idea that W PA hasn’t been worth every penny o f the hundreds of mUllons poured Into Its hopper.

Their Achilles’ heel, at which the opposition will keep sniping, is that WPA, being primarily a vast made-work program, la cost­ly and open to all sorts o f waste and extravagance. The public, having aeen red on the ledger for five years. Is likely to be pretty skeptical unless it can be ham­mered home convincingly that there are black figures there that bklance.

W PA ’ ammunition for battling criticism so far has been mostly reams o f dry-as-dust flgurea But now, tho ookmel’a lads Insist, It’s

courthouse. Lenr Tooklns, back In ’the hills. Is well aware that a fine concrete structure has replaced that old Chic Sale antique out by the woodshed. Some of the people In Ifew York Cito and all o f those In Newark (m ere eastern air headquarters used to be) know that New York city has a new air­port at North Beach. But hard­ly anybody anywhere knows all we’ve got for all the money that’s been spent.

That's what the opening barrage Is about. Come summer, when W PA Is celebrating Its fifth birth­day and everybody (W PA hopes) knows what that dally payroll of from 2,000,000 to 3,000,000 persons has accomplished In five years, they'll be ready to go twek to Klunk county, and Hem and New York Chty and remind the folks all over again that W PA made It possible.

going to be different.Tho folks In Klunk county Imow, would it take In the rainy season?

W PA Baa Been KiddedI t will be interesting to watch.

Since W PA was bom. It has been the object o f more kidding probably than anything ever set up in any Administration. In song, on the stage, and in story, from smoker to glided reception room. It has been booted about as the Anti - New Dealers’ No. 1 Joe Miller. Pm wondering If all that will be revived and opponents of the program will start a campaign o f deflating with laughter what they dare not attack too openly because o f the votes Involved.

When the W PA prese depart­ment gets down to handing out specific information. I ’m going around there and get a little for myself. How, for instance, did they manage to get rid of that word "Boondofglini^’ ? Whatever be­came of that serioualy interesting project In Ohio of having W PA beautlclaaa instruct Inmates In the state hoepltal for the Insane in bsauty parlor art? Is It really tme that W PA has built enough roads so that. If they were stretched out that way, you could go from Washington to San Francisco 147 times without taking the same route twice? And If so, bow long

Temple Jeweleia. She calls Mr. Temple and a police escort rushes her to his housa.

Chapter XXTVIrens said, "Why, Ann Brown—

of all people—how are you mixed up in this?”

Mr. Temple went straight to the suitcase. "That’s it," he shouted. "Let’s open.it, boys, and have a look."

“Do you mind I f I sit down?” Ann asked, and Irene pushed a chair forward. "M y legs feel sort of weak."

I should think they would.” Irene turned to her father, "1 know this girl. Dad. She had nothing to do srlth the robbery. You didn't, did you, Ann?”

"Gracious, no.”The men were still In a huddle

over tbe suitcase. John Temple straightened. "Everything's okay,” he said. He strolled across the room to Ann, smiling broadly "Well, young lady—let’s hear your story.”

The officers departed. Bud look­ing over his shoulder at Ann. She said, "Good night,” and he touched hla cap. Two plainclothes men carried the suitcase away. Ann wSs alone with the Temples in a rather desolate looking room.

The walla were beautifully dec­orated, the furniture was excel­lent. the floor covering thick and rich in color, but there waa some­thing definitely wrong with the room. The fireplace waa empty and black. There were no flowers, no comfortable Utter of magaslnes and smoking things, the furniture waa pushed stiffly against the walls.

Mr. Temple sat down. "Now teU us about It,” he said. Irene dropped to the arm o f hla chair. The boy—Ann learned later that his name waa Blake— stood mood­ily about

Ann related tbe story. " I don’t know why I was so careless In taking the wrong suitcase,” she ended. ” I always disliked those two men. have been sneaking past them In the hall for a year. Gueaa I was too anxious to get aavay.”

"And it’s a mighty good thing for us that you avere,” Mr. Temple observed heartUy.

" I lost everything I own,” Ann went <m. "M y clothes and — and—” She stopped, saying quick­ly, "But of course that doesn't matter—”

Blake reassured her. "Your stuff Is all righ t The poUce found it in those feUows’ room. Those thugs must have been surprised when they found a girl’s clothes.” H e ‘did not smile. His young Yace waa somber and dissatisfied.

"That’s fine,” Ann said, and asked, "Have they caught tbe men?” She had a prickly feeling that they were creeping up behind her.

The boy nodded Indifferently. "They’re In the jug.”

Irene had not taken her ejres from Ann’s face. " I wish some­thing exciting would ever happen to mto** ahe complained.

Mr. Temple leaned forward In his ctudr. "Let’s get on with thla, Miaa Brown. You'll come in for a aisable reward if that interests you.”

Ann thought quickly. A fter a moment she faltered, "There’s something I ’d rather have than a reward."

• • • »Mr. Temple’s eyebrows shot up.

Hla expression seemed' to say. "Here comes the gouge.” "W ell?” he said.

“ I want a job.”"A job? What kind o f a job?Ann wriggled to the edge of her

chair. Color suffused her cheeks. She spoke earnestly. ‘T v e been trying to find a place in a house like this as maid—or maybe housekeeper. I have no refer­ences except as to my character. You see, rv e been making over hats and there’s no future in that'

Mr. Temole scowled, eyes on her vivid face. "And you think a servant In my house might have a future?” he asked.

T d he an exeeptloiully good servant I know nice thlnga Mr Temple, and I love them. I want to live In ipAcloua surroundings rv e studied house maimgement— read aU the books In the llbrary- I know all the new tricks in serv­ing and table setting—that sort of thing” In her wistful anxiety, she folded both hands tightly to­gether.

"But you are so young, my dear —not much older than Irene—"

"And what I know about house nuumgement you couM put in your oyo,” DeBs observed, inele­gantly. fike put a hand on her father’s shoukter. "Give her a try. Dad. Ilhybe she ean do some­th in about this friaoe.” She said to Ann, “ThU used to be a beau­tiful room when my mother eras alive. Look at It now. We have no honw at alL”

'* top sheet that will turn down tbe blankeU, a friendly spirit among the servants, a grocery bill that doesn't knock my bat off—”

Irene Interrupted and be. leaned back, puffing at his cigar. " I want to be able to entertain in my own home,” she said emphatically. "1 haven't invited anyone to thia morgue for ages—the maids quar­reling all the time—Plunket, she'e the cook, on her high horse—dust under the beds—the sliver a mess—” She threw out both hands. "It's got me licked.”

Ann's bright eyes moved fron the face of one speaker to th next. " I know I could straights It all out," she said with qule convievUon.

There was a silence in the room. A t laat Mr. Temple cleared hla throat “You might try it for a month.” he said. "It's like taking on another child but darned if I know what else to do.” Again be spoke confidentially, "My * food bills are outrageous, Miaa Brown. There's a leak somewhere. I f you can find that leak I ’ll give you a bonus. Let me see—I paid tha laat housekeeper' $20 a week. How’s that—with a bonus for leaks?”

Blake smiled for the first time. 'She Isn’t a plumber. Dad."

" I don’t mind paying legitimate bills,” his father went on, "but it makes me Just plain sore to be robbed.”

Irene had an engagement and ahe left the conference. A t the door she said, “Let's give Ann a room on the second floor.' I'd be afraid to put her with our band of cutthroats.”

Ann did not go back to the Cen­ter. Her suitcase and paper bag were delivered to the Temple home and she slept that night in a rose and silver bedroom at the rear of the second floor.

It had once been a charming room. Now dust covered the fur­niture, it had an unaired, ne­glected feel. Ann really did not sleep at all. She lay between smooth sheets, her hands caressed a silken puff. She planned until the morning light crept In tho east window. ]

• • • ’Ann's first day In the Temple

household was not encouraging. Plunket, the cook, a barrel-shaped woman with a tiny head and bud- llke eyes, plainly resented ber presence. Plunket’s daughter. Rose, waa the parlor maid and waitress; her niece, Beth, waa supposed to care for the second floor. The butler was Plunket’s brother. They formed a solid fron^and, before evening, had taken on the proportions of an enemy battalion to the distracted Ann. Lack of co-operation V seemed to be the motton o f tha battalion and Ann’s best efforts met with defeat.

With the unwming help at tha chauffeur, rtie rearranged the foi^ lorn rooms, pulling comfortabla chairs forward, placing conveni­ent tables and lamps near tbem* She r e p la y worthless light bulbs, filled bowB with flowers and laid Urea

Thla done, she attempted to plan the meals and got exactly no­where. A t 9 in the afturnoon, weary to the point o f exhaustion, ahe bathed and dressed. A t 6 she made Mr. Temple’s highball her­self and lighted the fires.

She sat at the foot of the dining table, Mr. Temple bisisted upo« i t Other housekeepers hadclaimed tbe post, he said. Shedid not join in the Mneral con­versation. Rose walbMl on taUe, her sullen eyes boding no good for Ann. She Ignored Ann’s quiet orders and was as saucy and im­pudent as she dared.

A t 9 o’clock Ann dragged her­self through the y hall. As shereached the foot at the stairs, the butler opened, the outer door. Asa stopped, one foot on the lowSF step. Steve Clayboume waa gaily greeting the butler.

Judge Is Firm In Rivers Case

Stands Pat on Decision To Have Georgia Gov* em or Appear Friday.CaldosU, Oa., March 19- (yP) —

Federal District Judge Bascom Deaver etood pat to d ^ on hla de­cision to have Gov. E. D. Rivers appear before him next Friday to be."dealt with for contempt" a f­ter holding the Georgia executive defied state and Federal courts by military force. \,,v

The stocky governor sought yes. terday to take hla caae directly to the Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans by Petitioning Judge Deaver here for a supersedeas order.

This Judge Deaver denied laat night.

The jurist held that W. L. Miller, ousted highway chairman, was en­titled to hte office from which the governor had him removed bodily laat December and that use of troops at the State Highway Build ing to prevent Miller's re-lnstate ment "nullified” court deciaiona

"When the state and national courts break down and can be pre­vented from enforcing their orders, then no citizen has any rights, be­cause rights are nothing i f there Is no machinery to enforce them,” Deaver said in hla order.

Deaver held RIvsrs In contempt laat Friday night after the gover­nor refused to obey the re-inatate> ment order and publicly stated he did "not Intend to abdicate as governor of Georgia.” Rivers has similarly disregarded state courts orders toat Miller be put back.

In a dramatic setting on the stage of the Macon, Ga., audito* rium, where Rivers had just been acclaimed by the state's teachers at a meeting o f the Georgia Edu- caUon Association, U. 8. Marshal E. B. Doyle arrested the governor and took him before Judge Deaver at the Federal building.

Upon the governor's plea that he had not Iwd an opportunity to consult counsel, Deaver freed Riv­ers until next Friday upon his promise to re-appear.

Cites Newspaper Article Deaver cited an article in The

Atlanta Constitution Sunday say­ing Rivers planned to station troops in Macon next Friday to prevent his Incarceration, but ad^ ed that this would not have pre­vented the granting of the super­sedeas asked ’i f there is any good reason therefor.” The Judge said no such reason appeared.

Rivers’ counsel indicated they would take the caae to a Judge of the (Circuit 0>urt of Appeals be­fore next Friday’s hearing.

New Crews Man Liners

Queen Mary and Maure­tania May Re Put Into Service as Troopships.New York. March 19.—(8^—

Two huge ocear liners, peacetime giants of the British merchant ma­rine, swarmed today with new crews ready to man them for the btislneas of carrying soldiers to Europe's war.

Their skeleton efews replenished by 770 new'men, the 81,000-ton Queen Mary and the 3S-000-ton Mauretania were ready to slip out of their wartime haven with any tide to transport either Australian or Canadian troops to the war sone.

Arriving In New York harbor unheralded yesterday, the Chinard White Star liner Antonia docked beaide the Mauretania and soon 300 of the new men went aboard her. A short time later the bal­ance of the new complement went by bus to the Queen Mary to join the 110 already there.

No Information Given Cunard White Star officials,

holding to a policy of wartime se­crecy, declined to Indicate what might follow, but It waa pointed out In Washington that only routine clearance would be re­quired for aalllngs of either ship.

It seemed apparent every effort waa being made to prepare the Queen Mary for an early depart­ure She.was given a new coat of admiralty: gray, and a dredge cleared'away mud which had gath­ered about her hull since she was laid up at the start of the War.

Likewise, thero was evidence the Mauretania might leave short­ly, for she was being loaded with cargo, presumably provisions for a voyage.

Toe lAuge for CanalSince the Queen Mary is too

large to pass through the Panama canal, she would necessarily have to circle Either Cape Horn or the Cape of Good Hope if destined to carry Ansacs (Australian troops). The Mauretania could make the canal croeslng. It waa considered poeelble both might go to Halifax, where the second divisions of CM- nadlaa troops was reported ready for service abroad.

A trip around Cape Horn would take the ()ueen Mary down the South American coast where the German pocket battleship Graf Spee operated before she was scuttled.

bad led to hopes of something "sensational."

No Change In Attitude The editor declared that the

face-to-face conversation of the Italian and German leaders was not brought about through

Italy's desire to change her atti­tude, which rests and will rest as Is well known, first of all, upon the srrupulous observance of un­dertakings of honor and then on care -of Italian interests and Ideals."

Italian newi^pers refrained, as If by government suggestion, from writing of a possible "peace offen­sive", war offensive or any coa- templated change in Italy's non­belligerency.

It had been I;plt that at least one foreigner —Undersecretary Welles —might be. let In on the nature Of the Hltler-Muaaollni exchange, perhaps through another chat with Mussollpl before Welles leaves for them with hla detailed report on the situation In warring Europe.

However, up to noon today there had been no Invitation from II Duce, and the American’s associ­ates Insisted he expected none.

This led diplomatic circles to be­lieve that nothing had resulted from the Brenner Pass meeting to supplement what Welles already had learned In Berlin and Rome,

Delays Depsuiura 'Wellea was to have left at 4 p.

m. (10 a. m., ea.t.) for Genoa to board the liner Oonte dl Ravota, which aatia until 11 p. m. tomor­row, but ho delayed his departure until 11 p. m.

Vlrglnlo Gayda; who frequently speaks for Mussolini, tn II Glomale d'ltalla expressed scorn concerning Veports that Hitler and Mussolini had agreed on a peace offensive which would make use of the tour by American Fact Finder Hiimner Welles. He said It was "absurd aa well aa grotesque for the democracies to Insist on attribut­ing to n Duce the permanent rote of peace messenger or continuous mediation." Mussolini did every­thing he could on the eve of war, Wavda added.

Whatever happened In the pre­mier's parlor car yesterday on the siding at the frontier station of Brennero It seemed to have pleased Mussolini for when he stepped from hla train at Rome last night he wore a smile and at one point on the return trip, Bologna, II Duce joined a >velcomlng throng In the Binging of Fascist songs.

Tbe belief was general that II Duce and the Relchsfuehrer reach­ed definite decisions but there was nothing tn the morning press to point thq way to positive conclu­sions.

About the moat to come from the press was a warning against "dubious rumors” published abroad.

Headlines on Peace Appear Very Empty

Washington, March 19. — (FV— Stephen ^ r ly , a Presidential sec­retary, said today that on the basis of authoritative reports received by the American government, "peace headlines would appear to be very empty.”

The White House aide asserted that no Information had been transmitted to this government to support published stories that 11 points had been suggested^ aa a basis for European peace' at yes­terday’s conference between Adolf Hitler and Premier Mussolini.

No Basis for Beport Asked whether he could say any­

thing about reports from Rome, Ebirly replied:

“Nothing more than that I think you can aay, on the basia of all autborlaed reports received by thla government, which have been made available' to the president and have been carefully read and analysed by him, there seems to be no basis In fqct for reports pub­lished In London, Paris, Rome. Ber­lin, or other capitals that give aa authoriUtIve basis for peace; that the publication of those reports should not ^ange the opinions o f newspaper ^ d e r s of this country and othen by giving them hope for peace or cauae for despair of peace."

Chamberlain Says Allies Are Ready

For Axis^ Moves(OeattaMd rrom Fage o m )

whethar tbe seenrity o f Norway and Sweden had been praaerved by the Rusalan-Finniah aettlement, Cbamberinln aald "on the con­trary, the danger baa been brought cloaer than ever to thoae two coun­tries; today It Btanda upon their doorstep."

Tbe prime minister minimized the Importance of the German raid on Britain's North Sea fleet anchorage at Scapa Flow last Sat­urday, declaring that only one warship was damsgtd, and that only alightiy, and that no capital shlpa—battleships or batUa crula- e i »—were damaged.

To demands for a more vigorous war policy CHiamberlaln answered:

"W e cannot be hustled into ad­ventures which appear to ua to present m a ll chance of success, much chance of danger and per­haps disaster.

"The time and place for us to striks must be decided upon with the most expert advice that we can command."

Demaada More Drive As soon as Chamberlain sat

down after one of the longest war reports he had mad., Clement A tt­lee, leader of the Laborite opposi­tion, roae and demanded moro drive in tbe prosecution of the war.

"The Initiative must not be left with Hitler," said Attlee. "W e can­not have a policy of wait and see."

Attlee demanded a strengrtben- g of the home front and declared he prime minister must In war

be ruthleaa with Inefficiency."Attlee, In the sharpest attack

yet made on the government’s war policy, declared; " I want tojme a war cabinet that laya down war principles, that makes deeWona.

"A policy of sitting quiet would bo aulcldal," Attlee said. “No one wants the area of this conquest enlarged, but we cannot aee Ger­man influence extended, converting

friendly neutrality into enforced 'cooperation. We have to show skill and initiative to prevent the slipping away of our friends.

Must Stand Together Attlee said that the lesson was

to be learned from Finland was that “ If you want to defeat aggres­sion you must stand together."

Chamberlain had declared that the doctrine of neutrality under which Norway and Sweden had acted In the Finnish 'War was based on the assumption that anything was better for a small neutral than to be involved in a war between Germany and the Allies, and that It waa a matter of Indifference to small neutral atatea whether Ger­many or the Allies won. O f thla Attlee aald;

"Until these assumptions are abandoned and tbe necessary de­ductions drawn from that aban­donment, the polley of neutral states will neither correspond to r^Iities nor be adequate to safe­guard their interests."

O f Sumner Welles Attlee said;" I think he reallaea the deter­

mination o f the people o f thla country. 1 think he will know we all want peace and I think he will know too that we want a real peace, a peace of principle."

'Chamberlain In his statement aa cauatle In hla remark that

Britain waa ready to meet an^ thing that might arise from the Hltler-MusaoUnl meeting In the Brenner Pass.

*We are not* likely to be di­verted from the purpose for which we entered this war," Chamberlain aald.

Then In a aarcastle tone he added:

"For all I know these gentlemen may have spent their time diacuss- Ing the conditlona under which an Italian ahip waa destroyed yester­day by a German mine."

iBuckland Property Has ' Qianged Hands; Ever*

ett McKinney Takes It Over in Large Deal.Preliminary atepa war# taken

yesterday whereby Everett T. Mc­Kinney has bound himself to pur­chase and Louin L. Grant has agreed to sell, property in Buck- land consisting of 130 acres of land which borders on Tolland Turnpike, Buckland street. Burnham strset and Windaor street and extends into MeekviUe, along Tolland turn­pike.

The property has long been in the Grant family and has been used in the past for growing of tobacco, but more recently for potatoes on a large scale as the grov/lng of some of tha asparagus in this section. Included In the sale Is not only the house on ToIlond’Turnpike where Mr. Grant Uvea, but also his large atoreheusa.

To Move to PutnamIn dlspoelng of the property Mr.

Grant Intends to leave Manchester and will move to Pntnam where for the post five years he has own­ed a large tract of land which borders on the Putnam and Pom- fret town lines and where he hoa grown potatoes on a large scale for the past three years.

Potatoes grown, on the Wind­ham County farms hava been of a better grade than those which Mr. Grant cultivated in this section. The necessity of trucking the tuben from the farms in Putnam to Bucklqnd has added to the cost, but with the sale of the property, it WlU now be poesible to erect Storage warehousca In tbe victnity of the new farms.

The sale o f the farm In Buckland was carried on through the office of McKinney Brothers and with the signing o f contracts for the sale there has been epeculatlon aa to the purposes to which the (arm wUl be put.

Little Infonwattea Aside from admitting at the

office of McKinney Brothers this morning that the papers for the sale hadvbeen algned, no further comment was made.

The buUding o f the new bridge across the Connecticut river from Hartford to Ehmt Hartford and the couise the Wilbur CroeS Highway may follow after the river la cross­ed, Is supposed to have some bear* Ihg on the purchaoe of the proper­ty. That the new roadway will pass In the vicinity seems assured, but just what frontage it wiU have on the new roadway la not known.

Until the final papers a n pasaed and recorded there Is no Informa­tion being given out, although it la said that the price Involved waa In the vicinity o f 835.000. It la the largekt re^ estate transaction that has token place in Manchester In years.

PA ’s, Green Disagree Over Financial Split In Town Court Series

Champs Want to Play On Winner*Take*AU Basis as ChaUengers Ask 60*40; Both Pos* seflfi Splenditl Records.Disagreement over the division

o f gate receipts Is the only ob­stacle barring the way to j i town basketball series between the Polish-Ameriesns snd Manchester Green, but at this writing Ua agreement to disagree looks t/ri- ous enough* to rslM strong doubts that a series will take place for the local title.

Playing coach Jobniiy Falkoski, iguiding genius of the PA's, who have ruled the court hereabouts for the past throe years, Insists that any plan# for a aeries be ar­ranged on a Winner-take-all basis, while (foach Michael Zwick of the Green, the most formidable rival to the.Amerks to appear on the cage horizon. Is holding out for a 60-40 split after expenaes.

Sertaa A Natarol There's no doubt but wbst a

aeries between these aggregations would be a natural. The PA ’s, of course, hold a declslva advantage in experience but there's plenty of room for argument on the com- paraUve ability of tbe teams. Tbe Amerks have been organized four years and have much the same squad aa when they started, while the Green has been organlMd two years and haa virtually a new ar­ray this aeoson.

Both teams boast highly impres­sive records for the 193^0 cam­paign. A fter winning the Rec Senior League title three years In auccasslon, tha PA ’s withdraw from the circuit this year and con­centrated oa copping tbe State Poltah League diadem. In so doing racking up 20 wins In 23 starts. The Green succeeded to the Rec throne and are aloo leading con' tender* for the Central League diadem with 30 wins in 38 garni to date. /

"We've got everything to lose snd nothing to gain by playing tbe Green,” says Falkoski. "A fter aU, we are the champs and If the Green won’t play wlnner-take-oll wa'II setUe for 80-20 or 75-25."

The PA ’i have been called on to play aa out-an-out town aeries only once, that In 1937 when they whipped Morlarty Brothers In two •atnilgbt games. In 1938 and last year tha Anrorks took town honors along with the Rec title aa there wasn’t a rival to diiqiuto their su­premacy.

Green Hepea High The Green's two wins over the

PA White Eagles In the Rec League lead the Zwlckmen to be­lieve that they've got a splendid chance o f knocking off tbe claaay Amerks, oa several members of the latter array appeared in the Eagles’ lineup. The Green's roster consists of Captain Jim Murphy, Jim Murray, Sher Moorhousa, Earl Tost, Pete Stnum, Pat Murdock, Elmo (Snvello, BUI Murray and Harold Schueta, all o f whom are former high or trade school play­ers.

H is Pa's have aa aggregation that Includaa Bryno and Johnny Byeboloki, A1 Obuchowakl, Ed KAea, A I Kurlowles, Stan OpiOach, Eddie Haraburda, Mike Savertek, Johnny VoJeck and Falkoski, all tried and'teeted vetorane who have campaigned against the best oppo- sitton la ssau -]^ circlaa.

Reds* Bofifi Instilled Fighting Spirit That Produced 2*1 Triumph In All-Star Contest.

By Gayla inibot Tampa, Fla., March 19.—(F)—

One of the players In Sunday'a fine all-star game toUs ma that Mana­ger BUI McKschnle proba^ da- oervea mors credit than nay ona else for tha fighting brand of bnse- baU put up by the National Leaguers and for their eventual exciting victory.

This player, who thinks It would be a smart Idea to remain anqny- moua, aaya McKqchnle pracUmUly won tbe contest by the smart, un­derstanding way ha handled his aggregation of stars In the droaa- ing room before the start. The Na­tional Leaguers, low In spirits, were turned Into new men by Mc- Kechnle, enxlous to whip their weight in wildcats.

Talk Ufto Hepos BUI first thanked the boys alil-

ceraly for coming here to play In the game, and before they could recover from their surprise oeo- tinued:

"Now Pm not going to try to teU you how to beat that bunch. You’re fine briliUayere or you wouldn’t be hero, rm not going to teU you pitchers bow to pitch to DlclMy and DlMagglo. On cartaln kay Itches you can look over to

but otherwiae you’re own game. You know Tbnt'e nU—lets go!”

This player, who happens to have had an Important part In tha vtetory aaya you would have been surprised to heoi and foel tbe spirit on the Nationals’ bench after that talk. He says he never In hlq Ufe played with a club that waa hus­tling harder or waa more detornUn- ed to win. ‘Hiis spirit, InctdeatoUy, was noted with some astonishment from the atnndg, nod we wondered who had Ut a flro under the lads.

"It waa McKechnie,” aaya tha player. "BUTs smarL Before last summer’s all-otar gaaqa in Naw York Gabby fitraat and BUI Terry ■pent ao much time warning us what not to pitch to tbosa guys that we started the game fed l^ . like we might get our heads knock­ed loose. Watch the difference tn tbe nU-(rtar game this annuner. Mc- Kechnle ertn he miasglat us again, ■ad well wla for htOL"

Poaaibty our lafonaaat In a trifla enthuffastle both about McROehnls and about the Nattonal Laague'a choncaa of nuddag a hnhn of vte­tory, but Sunday's rsnoR undoobt* edty WM a boon to hnsOhnll gen- «ndly. The Nntkmsl Lsaguers, from Preeldsnt FOrd Frlek down to ths elubbouss boys, bnvs a song In their hearts today.

Where for soma days prior to the noM Frick and hla aawdstee were nnitve erentuieq darting nenns hotel tobWen at tbe sight at would- be Intotvtewers and neither enttag nor sleepiag woU, they now nro al- moot gnrruloua. Frick ehtdod wo happily five tlmeo tn one ovoaiag for hnvlag picked the Awerieaaa to win, WhUe Bin Brandt, pubUcIty dlractor tor the NatieiiM League firm, said he couldn’t wait to gdt back to hla trusty typawrttor in New York.

Htera’s only one little thing that nkeo SM uneasy for the Nn-

ttonnls. His victory waa won in tbo spring, with ths pitebers for

sad Of tho batten la thsir train­ing, and on a Hold so tretnondous the outfleldiM* could pun dopm any­thing that didn't get caught la a cloua.

Up In July, BOW, I wonder If young Kirby HUflM wUI qo abio to make Jlmmio n x x a o i^ ernck Ms hock stobbtag at outsldo curves, or If Luke Hamlin wUI recan his redps for slfUag tbrse fast atrikss post Jos DlMagglo. It’s somathlag to worry abouL

Hiere's a ruling on the hooka now that a roferee touch the ball before It to put Into play from out of bounds but 99 times out of 100 both the arbiter and player forget all about it...and It has always seemed aUly to us for a referee to dash tha length of the floor almply to bestow bis benediction on the ball.. .just what purpoae It aervea la beyond ua...

More Interest In Civics Urged

Engineers Seen Fitted by Training to Be Public Servants.Hartford, March 19—<F)—En­

gineers, for their own gooid and for that of society as a whole, must take a more active part in civic affairs. In non-technlcal as wtll aa profesaloaal matters, Oiarles Rufus Harts, president of The Connecticut Society of C8vll Engineers, Inc., declared at the opening session this momfng o f' the organlzatlon’a two-day 56th an­nual meeting at Avery Memorial.

Engineers are aa fitted by their training to be public aervants as lawyers are, he said, decrying a tendency to choose lawyers first and then ministers for govern­mental appointive and elective of­fices.

•The services of engineers aa citizens and voters la especially needed, he said, now that Federal, state and municipal governments are enteiihg more and mord Into the field of public utilities in both regulation and operation.

Society Is CooperatlBg Ha said that the Connecticut So­

ciety Is cooperating more and more with other professional groups and with governmental agencies, not­ing, however,* that there is still much to be done in developing this line of endeavor.

In a business session this morn­ing, reports from the various of­ficers and committees of the soci­ety were heard. New Members and officers were elected.

Terry has been coaching the New York Giants In base running a lot this spring, he evidently forgot to tell his rookie pitchers what to do when the other fellow starts to run. One of the Boaton Bees' tal' lies In their 7-4 victory at Braden­ton yeaterday came on a steal of home by Ch^ell Rowell while rookie Jim Lynn was taking an elaborate windup. It was revealed afterwards'that a couple of photog* raphera were Boston’s third-base •‘coaches’* who suggested the steal.

Two Citie& Adopt New Speed lindts

six bids were opened last night as the Board of Selectman award­ed to the Boland OU company the contract for supplying aU town de- p4utments with gasoline during the coming twelve months. The Boland firm has held the town business during the last year with the ex­ception o f the gasoline supply for the police department. It had been agraed that Boland would have the police biurineae, but It never ac­tually went that way, the CampbeU service station having prevloiialy supplied police cars. Thlt coming year, however, the police supply la Included with the rest of the town by request of the police oommis- Sion which naked Town Treasurer George H. Waddell to Include pro­vision for the police supply in his esUmstea. It Is estimated that 50,- 000 gallons will be used by the town this year.

BM On Pollee Siqiply Two of the bidders quoted prices

on the police supply only. They were Moriarty Brothers and the Campbell filling station. Etacluaive of taxes, their bids were 18.8 cents per gallon and 14 cents per gallon resp ^ vely . From this price may be deducted the one cent Federal tax and the three cent atate tax. In all town work tba one cent Fed­eral tax on gasoline la deductable, and the three cent state tax may 4m taken off. In the form of a re­fund, on gaa used for police or fire departments. The town, however, has to pay the three cent atate tax for all other truck usage.

Bealdea Moriarty and CampbeU, the other bidders were as follows: SheU OU company, Bantly OU com- |Mny, Boland OU company and Howard OU company.

Standard specifications set forth the octane content end other re­quired speclflcatlons of the gaso­line offered, samples Of which had to be submitted by the bidders for testing purposes. Other testa may be made by the town during the term of the contract.

Other OffersThe SheU comjMUiy offered the

supply on the basis of the prevail­ing tank car price at Etast Hart­ford. Presently this price Is 11.4 cents per gallon, taxes Included, and it fluctuates slightly during the year. The BanUey Oil com­pany offered the supply at the Hartford tank car price leas two per cent discount, for highway use, and less nine per cent on poUce use.

The Howard OU company offer­ed the prevaUlng tank car price leas .0010 of a cent per gaUon, de- Uvered In quantity a r the town garage, or leas three cents dealer’s quot^ price at the service station.

Hie successful Boland OU com­pany offered an alternative bid. A straight bid was mads of .0025 cents less than the pcMted tank car price at Hartford for quantity de­livery at the town garage. At the service station, gas may be obtain­ed at either .054 uuder the dealer’s set price, or at one cent more than the price at the town garage.

Bofawd the LowestThe 8electn)en computed that In

aU offers the Boland firm's prices w m the lowest quoted, and the Ufi was accepted.

H m Selectmen voted to borrow 9SOJ)00 In anticipation o f taxes, the sum to be taken at Interest of .0038 per cent until Augqist 16.

Hitler Expects to Form Ring o f Neutral Na* Rons About Germany Like Siegfried Line.

By OewHt Meiifcensle *One can only venture Into euper-

lativee and characterise aa *V>ver- whelmlng*' tha magnitude and completeness^nd certainty of the Naal progranT for the defeat of the AlUes v/hlch has gone echoing about the world out of the Bren­ner Pass meeting between Messrs. Hitler and Mussolini.

To put It on thumb-naU, Fuehrer Hitler expects to form a ring of neutral nations about Germany like a vast Siegfried line, so that he can snap bis fingers at Ekig- land and Ftance. Also, organlaa* tlon o f the Balkans wlU, together with mighty Russia, provide the Fatherland with food and military suppUes and thereby render the blockade Impotent.

Eaendea to Bury Hatchet The Nazi chieftain wUl do thla

with the aid of Italy and Bolahe- vist Rusala. Those arch-enemies, Mussolini and Stalin, are to bury the hatchet—maybe, Italy wiU en­ter the war on GennanjPa ride if and when this seems desirable.

In short, the totaUtarian lead­ers puUed a dozen frisky rabbits out of the hat in the brief space o f a two and a half hour confer­ence, held amidst the most pro­found secrecy of II Duce’s private car In the anow-swept paaa.

But the confluence didn’t re­main a aecrst for another two and a half hours, or at least a good portion of It didn’t. BerUn and Rome, being thoroughly acquaint­ed with details, promptly toaaed onto the table all the cards for what normally would be a highly confidential operation in diploma­cy.

ly realize that the disclosure out of this highly dramatic setting la "overwhelming" because It is meant to be. When we have re­adjusted our perspective we see that this "broadcasting’’ of the conference results was for several purposes, among them being:

1. To Impress the world at large with the Importance of thla coup, especially the Ehiropean neutrals which Hitler wishes to get Into his fold.

2. To stimulate the morale of the people at home.

3. To try to set the Allies think­ing more vigorously in terms of peace.'

4. Probably to act aa a smoke screen for peace suggestions— or at least information necessary to the framing of peace suggestions

which Special American Ambas. sador Welles likely will bring back to President Roosevelt.

Of Orest lmportaa4»This doesn't mean that the Hit

ler Mussolini conference wasn’t of great Importance, for It uudoubt e^y wsR In one way or another. However, the Immediate change effected Wiy this Hitlerian coup would seem to me to be slighL

Admittedly, the rituatlon would be changed greatly If the Nasi program were carried through to a flniJity. But that is the hitch—the benefits o f the plan are largely po^tlallUea wUch are atUI to be worked 4»ut. I mean, it’s one thing

Boards Should Set C^neral Policies

New Britain. March 19—(ff)— Dr. Alonso G. Grace, state oom- mleeioner of education, expreaeed the opinion that Boards of Educa­tion should be content with estab- Uahtng general poUclee In their de­partments and leave the adminla- tratlve details to the superintend­ents.

to talk about throwtag a rtag of neutrals about a cmmtry. and It’s another thing to do IL

It is true that the Balkans are Jumpy as the result o f Finland tMlng allowed to go under without sufficient aid. NaturaUy their tendency win ba to listen more carefully' to Herr Hitler. How­ever, all the Indications are that there lan't one of them.that doesn’t Intend to remain neutral to tha laat ditch.

Pledged to Alta So far as regards Oreees

powerful Turkey, they are pie to fight with the Allies tt they hav^ to get Into the war. Rumanta’a heart la with Bkigland, though King Carol has to comply with many o f Hitler’s demands.

It will take a lot o f doing to swing the Balkans into Hitler’s camp, even though Mussolini seems to be In general good favor among these fiery states. It’s my guess that the advent of Ruasla In that piUl of the world would start a near-panic.

The Idea of a rapprochement between MussoUhl and the Bolshe* vista, who are hla big bate, seems

bit far-fetched. Perhaps Italy could work In such a triple entente tt Germany were the sole link with the Mostovltes. but It’s diffi­cult to think of n Duce holding hands with the Reds after having created the Fascist party to driva them out.

Entry Left Very VagueThe matter o f . Italy’s entrance

Into the war on Gkrmansr’a side Is left very vague—another of those Ifs." The reason imdoubtedly Is

that there is small prospect of Mussolini abandoning hla policy of non-belligerency.

Should D Duoe Join Hitler, the French would pour an army across the Italian border, and the ABled fleets would swarm about ttie Ital­ian coasts like bees In a garden. If be went with the AlllM he would have Hitler on bis neck. Mussolini already has selected his correct niche ta the war—^non-bel- Ugerency.

So far as concerns Germany ' getting great quantities of sup­plies from the Balkans and Rus­sia, the whole thing la,problemati­cal. Neither quarter can furnish Nazidom what It wants at the mo­ment. Probably they could In time, but it would taka long develop­ment.

This Income Tax episode has lust come to "llglit’';

After a weeks work, a man final­ly finished his Income tax report the evening of March 14. He called his banker and asked him to come down and check it over. The pair

^ spent an hour at the bank going , > over it and approving It. The man,

with a sigh of relief, put it In an envelope and "mailed" it in a trash box in front of the bank.
