Woman Escapes Boulder When She Feels ’Fearful’ Tokyo, Dec. 5—W--Looking to- ward better relatione with the United Statea. Japah la paying ott umerouB clalma for damages to American property In China, au- thoritative sources diacloaed to- day. They said Foreign Minister Ad- miral Klchlsaburo Nomura Inform- ed United Statea Ambassador Jos- eph C. Grew In a two-hour con- ference yesterday that Japan was prepared to settle such claims, T^ese sources declared, how- ever, the Japanese disliked use ot the U. S. Japanese trade treaty as a “club" for Influenciog policies In C^lna. The treaty, denounced by the United States in July, is due to expire Jan. 26. Shelve Some Frobieme It waa said Grew and Nomura temporarily shejyed discussion of such problems aa the epeh door in tbe Orient and tha nine-power treaty, Japan being primarily in- terested in bridging the period immediately following the treaty’s expiration. For this reason, many long- standing American damage clalma for bombing In China are being compensated. It was understood lelisbiy the government soon would release a compilation ot evidences of Japan's good Inten- tions, enumerating tbe cases and amounts paid. This list also probably would include instances of soldiers being disciplined for face-slspplng inci- dents In Tientsin and Hankow. Tbs same sources denied reports Nomura had told Grew a rap- prochement was impossible under threats of sconomlc pressure, or that Japan waa displeased over the reported strenmening of the American Pacific fleet. Must Buy BIsewbere The foreign minister merely stated, they said, that if America placed an em bai^ on exports to Japan, comraodities must be sought elsewhere. 'This statement was not ampli- fied, but it waa Indicated It might mean efforts would be made to ob- tain more oil, aerap iron aad atml- lar itams from the Eaat ladlea aad Australia. Observers said Japan at present was unable to go beyond specifle Incidents, as her future policies respecting all third powers In must be conditioned by tbe sort and acope of government to be organised In China under Wang Chlng-Wei.

Kuhn Given Prison Term For Larceiiv Judge Sentences Bund I.«ader on Charge of Stealing Funds; Two And Half to Five Years .W I SB rags Te«l. 'ir -vj js‘’Ahuii^lL2 New York, N. Y.. Dec. Fritz Kuhn, Gcrman-Amcrican Bund leader, was sentenced today to a prison term of from two and a half to five years. He was con- victed last week of grand larceny of Bund fimds. Tbe sentence was imposed on the count of grand larceny in the James D. C. Murray transaction and on two counts of forgery In that connection. Sentence was suspended by Judge James C. WaUace .on the transaction involving the alleged payment of tbe moving expenses of Mrs. Florence Camp, tbe "blonde angel” of Kuhn's love letters. Never Reiwived Money Murray had tesUBed during tbe trial that he had never ’ reeved tSOO which Kuhn claimed to have paid him for legal servioee. The other charge of larceny con- emed 8717 alleged given Mrs. Chmp. “This roan Is not to be sentenced because be Is a hate dispenser or a rabble rouser, for thsre are thou- sands of others in this country.’' Judge Wallace said before he pro- nounced aentonce. Kuhn’a Attorney, Peter L. F. Sabbatlno, had contended during tlie trial tliat political persecution lay at the bottom of the case. Denies Defense Request The Judge denied a defense re- quest to suspend sentence. *7 will rely upon your vast store of experience to pass a fitting sen- tence.” Sabbatlno said. He made no motion to defer execution of sentence pending a postble appeal. Judge Wallace said the Jury be- lieved that Kuhn had preaented a perjurious defease, and pointed out to Assistant District Attoniey Her- man J.

The Foreign Minister Asks Envoys of Sweden and Denmark to Parley; tPoiiits to Peace Hope. Oslo, Dec. 5—(>D—Norway's foreign minister, Halvdankoht, today called a conference for nuirsday of Scandinavian foreign ministers to discuss the ominous situation growing out of tbe Rus- sian-Flnnlsh conflict. ' Issuing Invitations to Foreign i Ministers Richard Sanuler ut Sweden and Peter Munch of Den. mark, Koht emphasized the earn- est Scandinavian desire to reestab- lish peace in northern Europe. Any speculstion that the three nations might take a stronger .stand in support of Finland, how- ever, was promptly discouraged by a statement of Prime Minister Thovald Stauning of Denmark that hla nation would maintain neutrality. Bogan) Stand Inevitable Diplomats regarded the prime minister's atmid . aa Inevitable since Denmark haa a nonaggres- aion pact with Germany and thus would not be likely to take action i whicti might depart the slightest | from neutrality toward all phases | of the European conflict. I Koht's invitation did not men- tion Finland's foreign minister. Valno Tanner, or hla predecesaor, Eljas Erkko, who now Is in Stock- holm as charge d'affaires. When the heads of the northern nations conferred in Sweden last month President Kyostl Kaillo of Fin- { land was included with tbe tpree I Scandinavian kings. Koht pointed out, however, that Finland's plight deeply concerns Scandinavia “both bMausc of our- selves and because of Finland.” Swedish concern for her own safety was emphasized by addi- tional strengthening of her armed forces with a frank reference to ’’partial mobilisation,” a phrase which hitherto haa been avoided carefully. Norway Sends More Men. Norway also baa been sending more men to the far northern frontier adjoining Finland, but in Denmark Uiere la no sign of quickening preparedneaa Tbe Danish foreign minister ac- cepted Immediately and announc- ed he would leave tomorrow for Oslo. Sandler’s acceptance also waa reported. In corvoking the diplomats for talks which may prove a turning point in north country affairs, Koht said: , "Tha Scandinavian govemmants are gravely coneemad over the war Into wtoch tba Finnish people have been Uirown and, both be- cause of ourselves and because of Finland, they wish that peace may be reeatablished aa soon as possi- bto “The Scandinavian countries therefore must discuss all means to get peace negotiations. “They assume that this also la (CoBtlanefl Oa Paga Two) Finns Bomb Russian Navy Base in Baltic; Invitation Resente* Map show* high Hpots of deal which Moscow smiouiu-ed hii-1 been made by Joseph Stalin with a new Comniunlst-.*ponsorcd Fin- nish “People’s government,” whe reby he was granted concessions he failed to get from the Helsinki regime.

I Clianiberlain Accetles to Demand of Labor And Liberal Leaders to Discuss^ One Subject. London, Dec. 8—(4')— Sources close to the goveniment indicated today that Prfme Minister Cham- berlain would accede to demands of Labor and Liberal leaders by designating one day next week for aecret parliamentary dlacus- Bion of one subject—war supplies. Although Parllmment met se- cretly to dlaciiaa various subjects during the World war, the gov- ernment has hesitated this time for fear of engendering false re- ports. Meanwhile, Britain lost valuable food supplies when the German "pocket battleship" Admiral Scheer sank tha 10,088-ton rafrlg- efator ship Doric Star In the South Atlantic with a cargo ot meats from New Zealand and Auatralla. The Doric Star normally carries a crew of 70 and has accommoda- tions for six passengers, but there waa no word on their fats. An Admiralty announcement last night blamed “a German raid- er” for loss of the Doric Star, and unofficial sourcea specified the Admiral Scheer. This raider haa been mentioned previously in the sinking of only two ships, the Britieh freighter Clement In the South Atlantic Oct- 8. and the British tanker Africa Shell in tbe Indian ocean off East Africa Nov. 18- In home waters, the British fretahter Bakdene, 2,829 tons, was sunk by a mine yeaterday and tbe British steamer Hamsterley, 2,- 180 tone, was aunk In a collision off the east coast of England.

Woman Escapes Boulder When She Feels ’Fearful’

Tokyo, Dec. 5—W --Looking to­ward better relatione with the United Statea. Japah la paying ott

umerouB clalma for damages to American property In China, au­thoritative sources diacloaed to­day.

They said Foreign Minister Ad­miral Klchlsaburo Nomura Inform­ed United Statea Ambassador Jos­eph C. Grew In a two-hour con­ference yesterday that Japan was prepared to settle such claims,

T^ese sources declared, how­ever, the Japanese disliked use ot the U. S. Japanese trade treaty as a “ club" for Influenciog policies In C^lna.

The treaty, denounced by the United States in July, is due to expire Jan. 26.

Shelve Some Frobieme It waa said Grew and Nomura

temporarily shejyed discussion of such problems aa the epeh door in tbe Orient and tha nine-power treaty, Japan being primarily in­terested in bridging the period immediately following the treaty’s expiration. —

For this reason, many long­standing American damage clalma for bombing In China are being compensated. It was understood lelisbiy the government soon would release a compilation ot evidences of Japan's good Inten­tions, enumerating tbe cases and amounts paid.

This list also probably would include instances of soldiers being disciplined for face-slspplng inci­dents In Tientsin and Hankow.

Tbs same sources denied reports Nomura had told Grew a rap­prochement was impossible under threats of sconomlc pressure, or that Japan waa displeased over the reported strenmening of the American Pacific fleet.

Must Buy BIsewbere The foreign minister merely

stated, they said, that if America placed an em ba i^ on exports to Japan, comraodities must be sought elsewhere.

'This statement was not ampli­fied, but it waa Indicated It might mean efforts would be made to ob­tain more oil, aerap iron aad atml- lar itams from the Eaat ladlea aad Australia.

Observers said Japan at present was unable to go beyond specifle Incidents, as her future policies respecting all third powers In

must be conditioned by tbe sort and acope o f government to be organised In China under Wang Chlng-Wei.

Kuhn Given Prison Term

'ir -vj js‘’Ahuii lL2

New York, N. Y.. Dec.Fritz Kuhn, Gcrman-Amcrican Bund leader, was sentenced today to a prison term of from two and a half to five years. He was con­victed last week of grand larceny of Bund fimds.

Tbe sentence was imposed on the count of grand larceny in the James D. C. Murray transaction and on two counts of forgery In that connection.

Sentence was suspended by Judge James C. WaUace .on the transaction involving the alleged payment of tbe moving expenses of Mrs. Florence Camp, tbe "blonde angel” of Kuhn's love letters.

Never Reiwived Money Murray had tesUBed during tbe

trial that he had never ’ re e v e d tSOO which Kuhn claimed to have paid him for legal servioee.

The other charge of larceny con- emed 8717 alleged given Mrs. Chmp.

“This roan Is not to be sentenced because be Is a hate dispenser or a rabble rouser, for thsre are thou­sands o f others in this country.’' Judge Wallace said before he pro­nounced aentonce.

Kuhn’a Attorney, Peter L. F. Sabbatlno, had contended during tlie trial tliat political persecution lay at the bottom of the case.

Denies Defense Request The Judge denied a defense re­

quest to suspend sentence.*7 will rely upon your vast store

o f experience to pass a fitting sen­tence.” Sabbatlno said.

He made no motion to defer execution o f sentence pending a postble appeal.

Judge Wallace said the Jury be­lieved that Kuhn had preaented a perjurious defease, and pointed out to Assistant District Attoniey Her­man J. McCarthy, who prooecuted the ease, that the district attor­ney’s office wss “under on obliga­tion'’ to take action 'agsiut Jaroea Wbceler-Hill. national secretary of the Bund, and WUly,’ Luedtke, for their “patent perjury.”

Foreign Minister Asks Envoys o f Sweden and Denmark to Parley; tPoiiits to Peace Hope.Oslo, Dec. 5—(>D—Norway's

foreign minister, Halvdankoht, today called a conference for nuirsday of Scandinavian foreign ministers to discuss the ominous situation growing out of tbe Rus- sian-Flnnlsh conflict. '

Issuing Invitations to Foreign i Ministers Richard Sanuler ut Sweden and Peter Munch of Den. mark, Koht emphasized the earn­est Scandinavian desire to reestab­lish peace in northern Europe.

Any speculstion that the three nations might take a stronger .stand in support of Finland, how­ever, was promptly discouraged by a statement of Prime Minister Thovald Stauning of Denmark that hla nation would maintain neutrality.

Bogan) Stand InevitableDiplomats regarded the prime

minister's atmid . aa Inevitable since Denmark haa a nonaggres- aion pact with Germany and thus would not be likely to take action i whicti might depart the slightest | from neutrality toward all phases | of the European conflict. I

Koht's invitation did not men­tion Finland's foreign minister. Valno Tanner, or hla predecesaor, Eljas Erkko, who now Is in Stock­holm as charge d'affaires. When the heads of the northern nations conferred in Sweden last month President Kyostl Kaillo of Fin- { land was included with tbe tpree I Scandinavian kings.

Koht pointed out, however, that Finland's plight deeply concerns Scandinavia “ both bMausc of our­selves and because of Finland.”

Swedish concern for her own safety was emphasized by addi­tional strengthening of her armed forces with a frank reference to ’’partial mobilisation,” a phrase which hitherto haa been avoided carefully.

Norway Sends More Men.Norway also baa been sending

more men to the far northern frontier adjoining Finland, but in Denmark Uiere la no sign of quickening preparedneaa

Tbe Danish foreign minister ac­cepted Immediately and announc­ed he would leave tomorrow for Oslo. Sandler’s acceptance also waa reported.

In corvoking the diplomats for talks which may prove a turning point in north country affairs, Koht said: ,

"Tha Scandinavian govemmants are gravely coneemad over the war Into wtoch tba Finnish people have been Uirown and, both be­cause of ourselves and because of Finland, they wish that peace may be reeatablished aa soon as possi- bto

“The Scandinavian countries therefore must discuss all means to get peace negotiations.

Clianiberlain Accetles to Demand o f Labor And Liberal Leaders to Discuss^ One Subject.

London, Dec. 8—(4')— Sources close to the goveniment indicated today that Prfme Minister Cham­berlain would accede to demands of Labor and Liberal leaders by designating one day next week for aecret parliamentary dlacus- Bion of one subject—war supplies.

Although Parllmment met se­cretly to dlaciiaa various subjects during the World war, the gov­ernment has hesitated this time for fear of engendering false re­ports.

Meanwhile, Britain lost valuable food supplies when the German "pocket battleship" Admiral Scheer sank tha 10,088-ton rafrlg- efator ship Doric Star In the South Atlantic with a cargo ot meats from New Zealand and Auatralla.

The Doric Star normally carries a crew of 70 and has accommoda­tions for six passengers, but there waa no word on their fats.

An Admiralty announcement last night blamed “a German raid­er” for loss o f the Doric Star, and unofficial sourcea specified the Admiral Scheer.

This raider haa been mentioned previously in the sinking o f only two ships, the Britieh freighter Clement In the South Atlantic Oct- 8. and the British tanker Africa Shell in tbe Indian ocean o ff East Africa Nov. 18-

In home waters, the British fretahter Bakdene, 2,829 tons, was sunk by a mine yeaterday and tbe British steamer Hamsterley, 2,- 180 tone, was aunk In a collision o ff the east coast of England.

T lsin People' Will Mi­grate from Pennsylva* ^ a as Land Prices and Population Increase.

Leohardtown, Md.. Dec. 6— (;P)— A tenant farmer and Ma wife aat taciturnly In their ahabby cottage while a real estate man showed some people over the run-down farm.

The men following the real es­tate dealer bod buaby beards, wore broad-brimmed bats and suits made of plain black cloth.

They were Amlab, the vangimrd of a migration which some of the "plain people" will make from Pennsylvania to aoutbern Mary­land. They were buying land tor new homes.

« Oo Not Hire WorkersOr the tenants. It mcane mov- on to some other farm The

iah do not hire people lo do their work. They do it themselves. For work la their life.

"W e’re glad they're coming." sold the tenanta. "Maybe some or the young folks will learn how to

'farm again by watching them, it Sught to do the cotmtrj’ no end ot sopd.”

"They know how to farm, how to rotate crop* and fertilize the soli.” said Dr. T. B. Symona. di­rector of the University of Mary­land’s extension service.

"Their advent means pioaperlty for St. Mary's county and perhaps for a large section of agricultural Maryland.”

Different From Lush Acres The section In which the Amish

plan to establish their new com­munity is far different from the lush acres they have tilled for years In their "garden spot" ot Lancaster county . ( Pa.) .

The half-dozen families pioneer­ing the migration cited rising land prices, a populatlpn Increase and a need for more room as reasons for moving.

Hare, they have bought land cheaply. A M they wUI have plenty o f nx>m. for the population haa re­mained constant since about 1880. But the condition of the land the the esUbllshed farming customs pose problems for the Amish.

For years, tobacco, now bring­ing In upwards of $7,000,000 an­nually, has been the chief crop. Lavish use of the land, first under the slavery system and later with hired labor and tenanta, has ex­hausted the fertility of many acreA

Many Fields Unproductive As a result, only about half of

the million acres In the tobacco belt Is suitable now for growing the golden crop. Field after field is overgrown with weeds, bushes and trees, lying Idle and unproductive. Such Is the land the Amish have bought.

It appears likely that the Amish will teach southern Marylanders what they heretofore have refused to teem—that general farming la better for the land and the people than the destructive one-group sys­tem.

The Amish will grow tobscco, but not exclusively. They will diversify end route their crops, hot only to meet their needs but also to build up and conserve the soil's fertility and productiveness. And they will raise livestock, too.

Their first Job will be to re- habltlUte the property they have acquired. Houees and bama must he repaired or new ones built Fields must bs cleared and made lit tor planting. Water supplies must be arranged.

Some Hava Bogus Task H alf a doxen famlllee already

have acquired tome 1,600 scree and have begun the taric of preparing their homea.

The migration from Pennsyl- ■ vanla Is not expected to get under way until after Jan. 1 and moat ot the colonists probably will not ar­rive until early spring.

TO give an idea o f the difference In land values, three of the Lan- casUr county group eold 188 acres there for 144,000 and botuht 1.135 acres hers for less than $25,000. .

The peace-loving sect, which originated In Italy and Bwitxerland In the 17th century and which never baa aaked anything more than good land and tolerance, haa been promised freedom to practice Its religion and customs In Mary­land.

Drlgga of thia town having a fea­tured role, wyi be presented by the Mark Twain Masquers this Wednesday through Saturday.. at the Avery Memorial, H a rtfo ^ at 8:30 p. m.

"Bachelor Bom." a light tender comedy, waa written by Ian Hay, brilliant playwright, novelist and scholar. The play ran on Broad- wray for over two years and was one of the roost enjoyable come­dies ever produced In New York.

The scene of the play Is the house of the senior nous*'mast»T in an English boys' school. The housemaster, portrayed by Cedric Thompaon, veteran of several Masquer productions, la a wise, kind, philosophic bachelor, whose main object'In life Is to guide the lives of some 600 adniescert ' ova.

Without so much aa a day’s wrarning. the serenity of the aoua-*- master’a existence la rudely dis­turbed by the arrival from Paris of three uninhibited voung ladles who are determined 'o move into his residence, despite the fact that no woman has ever erosse/l his threshold.

When the young ladles pre.sence la known to the boys, discipline and decorum make a most undig­nified exit. Countless embarra.Hs- ing thotigh highly hilarious inci­dents occur and for quite a -pell, the bewildered housema.stor la tefl In suspended apprehensl-m lo just what next these voung hel­lions. in conjunction :*ith nls own boys, will do.

TTie Ma.aquers negotiated for several months In onler to obtain the non-profeaslonal rights to "Bachelor Born" and when finally successful, scheduled It aa their second production of the current season.

"Bachelor Born" la being di­rected by Miss Ell2Mibptb Kimball, who during the post three seasons haa directed the Masquers in such succeMful productions as "C all It a Day,” “Room Service," and most recenQy. "High Tor."

Dewey May State Views on 3 Issues

A miscarriage of Justice that caused an unselfish humanllarlan to pay the supreme penalty. Is threaded Into an intensely melo­dramatic film. , "Nurse Edith Cavell.” Btarring Anna Neagle at the State theater tonight and to­morrow.

Although the English nurse’s un­tiring activities In nursing the wrounded during the World War won the hearts of all Belgium and also impressed the enemy, her as­sistance In secretly smuggling con­valescents out of the combat zone Into Holland aroused the ire of high German military officials. Her capture by a counter-eaplonagie operator brought about her trial by a Prussian court which waa deter­mined to make a fatal example of the angel of mercy.

Based on actual facta embodied In official war records, the story la ah unforgettable human document of Edith Cavep’a martyrdom. It afforda Anna Neagle, popular Brit­ish star, her flneat draiaatle role.

Directed and produced for RKO Radio by Herbert Wilcox, "Nuree Ekllth (Javell” has a aupporting caat of forty players Including Edna May Oliver, ZaSu Pitts, George gandere. May Robson, H. B. Warner and Sophie Stewart.

The accompanying feature ia “The Day the Booklea Wept” , with Joe Penner and Betty Orable.

Given Permission To Pay Interest

man Arnold, the former Tale Uni­versity law professor who heads the Justice Department's trust- busting division, today forecast a renewed drive against restraints of trade In farm producta.

He told reporters that a Su­preme court decision yesleriiay, upholding the government’s rigut to prosecute Chicago milk dealera under the anti-trust laws, would enable the department to proceed with prosecutions in this field after a virtual suapenslon of actlv- itlea for several months.

Such cases would be prosecuted aa rapidly as funds and personnel were available. Arnold added. He noted that "there la at present a demand for CJongresa to investi­gate the milk situation in other cities.

One In Round of I'lctoriesThe court's deciiion In the Chi­

cago case, overturning a lower court decision which quashed anti­trust indictments against 57 cor- poratioiM, organizations and in­dividuals who were accused ot conspiring to fix prices and com­mit other illegal acts, was one In a round of government victories.

In addition to holding that the anti-trust laws applied to dealers in farm products and that the agrliiUtural marketing agreement act of 1937 gave them no blanket exemption, the high tribunal rul­ed;

That all rompany-doniinnteii un­ions were outlawed hy the Wsgiicr act regardless of the employes' at­titude and whether .-uich unions actually caused labor trouble.

That the ifitcratate Commerce Commission might require 'rail­roads to take care of employea who suffered by ronaolldolUms.

Asked if he was certain that the manure pile eeepage waa actually reaching the water supply, Pero asserted ‘‘it can't help nut go in­to the feeder brook", and he said that he has been in the vicinity after a rain and has seen this con­tamination. Pero claimed that both the town Board of Health and the state health authomios know of the conditions whlcn exiat, but "haven't done anything about It". The location of the manure pile waa given aa being

V I * , . T ^ yThis morning the situation re-

(mrad to by Selectman Pero was Viewed by Herald reporters. It was found that the pile does exist, apd that It la on a ateep hlllaldo about T5 yards from the center of the brook. It Is evident that lii time of high water when there is an overflowing of the brook and s flooding of the meadow at this point, the manure pile 1s but lit­tle more than 100 feet fr(»m the water. Drainage is directly to­w s ^ the course of tlie brook.

In spite of the apparent ail na­tion, Pero Bays, town and state health officials have Issued no orders. , .

Health authorities in repeated testa, have claimed that there It no harmful bacteria count In the water.

liOag Sought ActionThs present flsre-up comes after

more than a year of agitation for Improvement of the supply of ihe Manchester Water company, a private firm which furnishes the north end. For more than a year, paitlcularly after rainstorms, a t ^ e of road oil has pormoatod the water, and in attempting to counter this taste through treat­ment, a heavy chlorine content has been added, making a combination of flavora that north end residents aay Is almost impossible to atomacb. In addition, silt and aediment have reached unusual proportions, those proteatlng the service claim.

Laat spring, after a particular­ly heavy dosage of r o ^ oil had contaminated the supply, the com­pany olTlcials in addition to state inapectors, made a study of the feeder brooks. With only a limited found at that time that drainage from Nigger Hill In Bolton, and from other oiled roads, was going dlivctly Into the reservoirs througn fedder brooks.

disorders are pronounced in the north end after rain has stirred up the water .supply. "It Is ssking too much to expect human beings to drink water which, In many In stances, farmers would hesitsts to give to their livestock." he said.

liU-es ReportIt was at this point that’ilelect-

man Pero gave a report on the findings of an Investlgativs com­mittee appointed by the Manches­ter Improvement association. Pero said the company offlclaU admit that the water la "not up to stand­ard " and that it is tainted. Hr ■salil that steps have been taken to overromo this taint. It was re­ported that wster company offi­cials have reached an agreement with the State Highway <A)mmls- sloner whereby drainage from •Nigger Hill will be diverted from feeder brooks. Bolton selectmen loo. have offered not to put road oil where It will be a nuisance It was said.

Peru reported that this work, while nut yet started, may be done liy Ihe slate In the spring.

Start WorkHe also said that under expert

advice from water system engin­eers. the water company Intends within a week to start work on a plan to change the course of feed­er brooks so that they will not enter the reservoirs nesr the mains. Stops are also to he taken to flush out the reservoir silt, he said.

Pero ob-served that the only other recourse would be filtration, "a very costly business".

In making his remarks, Pero said he was not attempting to de- feml any Interest, but was giving hiB report on condRlona as he found them. He then told of the drainage dangers from the manure pile which, In Its location, he held up aa "a disgrace”. The water company, Pero aaid, Would like to .see the pile removed. He did not state If action toward this end has been taken.

.Shea Senrm flompanyAs Pero ended his remarks. At­

torney William J, Shea rose to rastignte the water company and Its officials for "Imposition on the people of the north end" Shea remarked that he Is not one who flies Into argument without pro­vocation. and he wild he did not wish to be unduly critical. How­ever, Shea asserted, “It Is hU'. time that thla water company did .something effective In an affirma­tive way. I am glad to hear that some steps are being taken to correct conditions. Such action on Ihe part of the water company haa long been needed."

The citizens' petition to the Balactmen is the expression of a growing determination that Imme- Oiata steps be taken to Insure a correction of conditions, according to O. J. Liebe, who presented It.

Liebe, supported by others, has S Sked that the Board of Selecl- mcn appeal to the Public Utilities Oommlsslon to act to improve the

counts proving acceptable. Shea said, "1 don't care what the local health officers find, or what the slate board of health finds In re­gard to hacterln. There are other atan<lards by which water Is judged than hy hseterta. That water Is not til for human con­sumption by any intelligent stand-

mechanical inspectiona of motor vehicles alone would not reduce Connecticut's automobile accident toll greatly, the governor said suph procedure would merely see to it that cars on the road were in proper condition for driving.

“But'by far fh* greater part of the motor vehicle law,” he contin­ued, "is concerned with ths man behind the wheel and the manner In which he conducts himself on the highway.

"We must enforce the law in reference to him.”

He mentioned too the practice of "fixing" tickets, terming it e means of weakening the morale of police departments.

Further, the governor asserted, "this ticket-fixing bustnees la un- American, undemocratic and un-

Helainkl’a station cannot be picked up In this country, but the tranamltter a t Geneva can.

The problem waa to get the sig­nals to Geneva. Ordinarily, land lines across Germany would be used, but such facilities were not available, aa a result of the Euro­pean war.

That waa the sltuaUon last Thuraday, the day the Ruaatons Invaded Finland. Scheduled a t­tempts to pick up Helatnki did not materialize.

After aaothar day, tbe arrange* meat that provides fairly aatis- factorlly results waa aet up.

New York. Dec. 6—<)P)—TheA noise-dodging James C. Lewises ] awoke twlay from sweet dreams I of peacg because Magistrate Hen- ‘ ry C. Curran judicially provided them with stirceaae from din, with a fine dinner in the bargain.

The wealthy Lewlaee complain­ed In court yesterday that con- ! stant noise from ronatmctlon of thi new East River Drive n ear' their apartment shattered their i sleep and made them a bundle ot j nerves.

Curran thereupon told them to dine on the best viands, sleep at a hotel, see a show and present the bill In court. He said he would see to it that the city, the con­struction company, or somsbody would pay It.

The magistrate's prescription ot a night out was made after a city official told him the construction would be completed In 24 more hours.

Rocelpled Billa for $65Lewis, secretary of E. R. Squibb

A Sons, drug manufacturers, had receipted bills for at least $65 to present to hla honor today, to­gether with a salute of gratitude.

Mrs. and Mrs. Lewis donned din­ner clothes last night, marched to the swank Colony restaurant and. following the Judge's gustatory suggestion, ordered this dinner Martinis, beluga ca\1ar IChirran 8uggeste<l Finnish rather than Russian), lobster Newburg, press­ed duck with wild rice, salad de salson, burgundy, peach melha and black coffee.

"To Judge Curran!" they toast­ed. clinking their glasses and downing the laat drop of bur­gundy.

The dinner cost $35, plus a $ , tip, Lewis said.

Then they went to the Waldorf- A s l^ a (b^room and parlor st approximately $25) to dream, tar from pile drivers, hissing steam derricks and bellowing workmen.

They left instmetiona not to be disturbed bgfore 9 a.m.

Nothing Better Than Sleep Before they retired. Mrs. Lewis

announced, "The Judge told us to have the most wonderful time, and we can think of no better evening than to get a good night's sleep."

Proclaimed Lewis, "This la the first Ume I’ve understood what be­ing 'on the town’ means."

Magistrate Curran told them when they charged The MerriU- Chapman and Scott Corporation with vloIaUng tbe antl-noIsc ordi­nance;

"You and Mrs. Lewis go out to dinner this evening: have a good dinner, the best In town."

He told them to aee a show stop at a night club for a snack and a drink, and then go to a good hotel for a night's rest. tThey skipped the ahow and night club. I

"Come back here tomorrow with the ami lea on your faces," he said.

May Pay Bill Himself The Judge said later that If tt

could not be Judicially determined who should psy the bill the city or the contractor he would.

Then he added proudly that he had made "legal history " by "sen­tencing" the Lewises as he did.

Calling It a "precedent," the Judge said there were "some green Justices on the United States Su­preme court bench - Frankfurter, Reed and Douglas and they're in­terested In precedents. 1 recom­mend that they take this case and study It well, for It’s vital law of the land."

Bureaucracy for the InsaneThd Connecticut Society for

Tbs society ^ipaars to assume that the report of the Norwich hosptUl commission, and lU rao- oauBcndatlon for tha firing of the supertatendant and bualneaa man* agar of that institution for being too ecoBomlcal, completely aettlea the hash ot separate InetltuUonal Bunagament It may, In the mlBda of those who are pre-dla> posed toward tha creation of the propoeed central 8U U Depart- BMBt of llantal Health. I t cer- tatnly doea not. In tha minds of a good BMny other ciUsena who have BO axes to grind.

Not only was the report of the Norwich oommlaaion abaoluUly naeoBTlBclBg but, out of. lu own words, It Is convicted of having basB drawn to aupport a conclu- Non arrived at before any invatU- gatlng was done. We bad not, bafOrc, linked the aasault on the I Norwich InsUtuUon'B manage-1 BMBt with the opposition of the I Boctety for Mental Hygiene to In­dependent InaUtuUonal manage­ment, but this quick foUow-up with a boost tor the ^aoclety'a twlee defeated centrallxatlon bill gtvaa rise to some wonderment

, whether such a link did not exist.We are not in the smallest de­

gree convinced that the best ad­vantage of either the sUte or the patlenU in lU mental Institutions would be better served by placing the oontrol of the hospitals in the bands of one small group of bu- reaucraU or of a single czar of the tnaans.

Tbe Society for Mental Hyglaoa alwaya groupa tba eara and traat- mant of BMntal disorders wrltb "prevention” and oondfmns the present system for not providing such preventli^. Perhaps the Soci­ety .baa some program of lU own for tba allminatlon of poverty, Ig- noranoe, touperatiUon. over-work, worry, IntroepecUon, the Inordi­nate love of money, alcoholism, (t mutt have, if it propoaea to pre­vent insanity. Are wa to under­stand that tU proposed Depart­ment of Mental Health ehould have jurladietton In all theaa mat­ters? If so It would have a Job of work on iU bands.

Anyhow tha eoclety haa a long way to go before it can convince any great part of Connecticut's people that the only way to rftn the menUI bosplUls of this state Is from a swivel chair in Hartford.

The Red ClownPerhaps the sadly overworked

Representative Dies, who has be­come clean worn out from bis mighty efforU to save tha United States from going Commimlst, can now, without risking his country's downfall, take a good, long rest. Because whatever there once may have been to the Com­munist party In the United BUtes Its goose was pretty thoroughly cooked by the Berlln-Moscow pact and the Pollab Invaalon, and has been burnt to a cinder by the Bol­shevik s tu c k on Finland.

The CommunlsU in America have become grotesquely comic in their franUc eSorU to Justify their well worshiped SUlin In bis murderous assault on tha women and children of Finland, aa shown by a recent headline in tha party organ, tha Naw Fork Dally Work­er, reading thus: "Red Army HurU Back Finnish Invaders; CroBses Frontier."

Defending the Russian outrage, the OommunlaU simply have to abandon Communism altogether, because Communism is Marxian, and if thsre la one thing that vto- latea Maxlim it la wq and par­ticularly aggressive war. There may still be Bolshevik Commii- nlaU in RusaU but they oerUtnly are not in tha Kremlin. Most of them, it is to be auapected, ere In concentration campa if they are not In their gravel. I f there Is now any difference at all between tha ideology of Germany and that of the Russian regime aa now con­stituted It would tske s micro­scope to deUct IL

So ths defenders of A Fascist Moscow, which Is what tha Amer­ican Communists have descended to being, find themselves In the ludicrous position of violently pro­claiming what they were just as lustily condemning a few months ago. They have been jockeyed into the position of foreswearln,; all the social prlnclplea for which they Imagined they stood and coming to the support of their ex­act opposite.

Communism baa always been unpopular In the United BUtes because of Its blatantly militant, ^hlp-on-Uie-abouldcr attitude, tha low level of InUUIgeoce of ths greet majority of iU advocates,

philosophy, tU very meagre un

wuat wbom Ithat Om S t R I * baaii Bwara, aU 'aloMg, that the aeeead pocket batIleMilp> inatead of being deatioyod q f nearly ao, has alao baaa a t large and atUl la a t larga. I t la not asplataad ssliat wanhtp or what aUaa war- skip was tha victim of tha Britlah bombing raid. If any.

•o It appears that thafa arc two of tha Oarman pocket batUoahlpo a t aaa. with tha Britlah and Fraaeh admlralttaa aeratchlng thalr baads over tha problem of what to do about them. If these raiders should make a bualneaa of sinking rofrlgerator ships bring­ing Britain’s nwat supply from AuaUaUa and Naw Zealand they might gat enough of them to aerloualy reduce tbe beef and mut­ton ratlona of Ehigiand, even be­fore the financial war now atarted agalnat Germany's exporU has had time to wear down N eil re­sourcefulness in tha matUr of get­ting euppllca.

Tbe principle of "oommand of the eeaa" is at least being called Into question by these wandering commerce raiders. y- -

Cheera for the FinnsThe war in Finland ecems to be

going badly, as yet, tor the Rus­sian Invaders. Which is equiva­lent to Baying that It Is going, up to now, very much to the liking of the entire civilised srorld. I t U not clvtUxed to be eympatheUq with a' gigantic bully who is at­tempting to beat up a peaceable small fellow. One’e rivillxation need not be very far advanced, at that. In order to make him enjoy tbe apecUcle when tba little fel­low unexpectedly lands some stun­ning socks right a t tha ouUet of tha enoounUr; all that U naaded os that be be Just a Uttle decent. And sUce the majority of people in the world are betUr than Just a Uttle decent, Rusria'e only eym- pathUers, tbe only persona in the least lUtsly to begrudge tbe Finns every ounce of succeas they can posalbly bava In their resUtanee, are such people aa tbe German Nasla.

T h ^ ara convlnead that hla per- •oiuU dealra now Is not to rua; but that ha has not pooitlvsly turned hla back on tha poasibillty.

Many factors enter Into thalr calculation. Not tha least Is that they figure Mr. Roosevelt baa fin­ish ^ with all of ths major phases of tbe domestic program be bad laid out for hlmsalf.

Bigger Endeavors PlalahedHe signaled In bis message to

this Congress at the outset of Its first session that be bad finished with his bigger legislative an-, deavora, that tba principal thing left to do was to machine down the tools of government thrt had been wrought during tha early years of his first two administrations.

Mis advocates say tha president already baa written, indelibly, his Ideas of government into the na­tion's laws, that be has changed permanently the attitude of gov­ernment toward the common man.

They argue that the change of attitude was tbe ImporUnt thing. How it ia to be manlfeeted In the future la a matter of mechanlca. Principles and policies appeal to the president. To many detaila are boring.

Not Reetfnl Place to Live For that reason, many of hla

friends feel that he would be more than wilfing to set down upon the shoulders of another man the enor­mous load he has been carrying for the last six and a half years. The White House has a glamorous appeal but It Is not a very restful place to live. It haa all the privacy of a wedding in a department store window.

Moreover, these friends say the man who enunciates legiafatlve policies ia not always the proper person to hold them into smooth­ly working organisms. Like the author of an attempted literary masterpiece, be bSM pat phrases

Another man would not scruple to use tbe ahaars.

Another elenMot of practical poUtlea enters Into this situation, also. The man who baa champion­ed a policy, has fought for it from ths UBM when It was simply sn Msa caught la a fragUa cage ot words until the day it materialised Into a bard and fast law, can hardly admit that It haa a weak- nsss which needs to be remedied without laying hlmaelf open to ths accusation that he has either changed bis mind or was fighting for something that oe knew was wrong. Neither of these charges help very much politically.

Would Chaage His MindThese are some of the things

which lead bis friends to feet that be Is willing to turn over ths White House to a new prerident. Ju st as many elements enter into their calculation that he would change his mind if the interna­tional situation Is critlcsl next summer and tbare is a sincere de­mand for him to run.

The international field is s broad one for him to plow In. It looks fertile and Interesting. In it are challenges stiff enough to test the mettle of any man. Given a crisis and a real demand and hla friends predict he would accept

Signs Wni Be ClearerTalk of late political conven­

tions gibea pretty well with these ideas. The fsrther back into the summer the conventions are push­ed, the clearer will be the slgM of whether this nation will get In­volved In Europe’s raging terror.

Moat of those who are close enough to tbe picture to be able to discern the finely shaded color blends do not expect any early statement from the president. Even the early primaries at which ooevention delegatas are chosen may not bring any showdown of hla hand. A decision withheld by the president until the last minute, and the pledging of delegates to a dozen candidates in advance of tbe convention. Would be no Insuper­able obstacle to bis rcnomlnatton.

And tha shows continue to ar­rive with nightly precision, big shows, little ones, mualcal extravs- ganxas, songlesa and danccleae ones.

Among tbe new ones Is Sidney Kingsley's drama, "The World We Make" which the author, of "Men In White" and "Dead End" wove Into a play from MlUen Bland's famous novel, "The Outward Room."

This Is the story of the mentally unbalanced girl who leaves a sanitorlum to work in a staam laundery and who learns to live on the fringe of sanity in the v ;irni, human companloneblp of tens- ment folk. On the whole. It Is ..ot the most oolorful theatrical ove- Ding of tha year.

On the contrarv, it la. like tha two other well-known Kingsley dramas, a depressing saga that is told on the stage the Theater Guild. Noteworthy Le the scenery —such realistic repUcaa of a stet. -n laundry and a tenement as are only rivalled by tha breath-taking scenery that decorated Dead End.

In Tsliavlng any form of back­ache it la usually advisable to be­gin with a general constitutional treatment, and the fasting treat­ment is eepeclally advised in all those forms of backache which in- 'volve the lower spine or sacro-lliac Joints.

Whsn backache la caused by a roflex from the bladder, it la often helpful to drink plenty of watef

Hard Earthquake Recorded Today

New York. Dec. S— The ■eismegrapb a t Fordham Unl'ver slty recorded s "very severe" earthquake today, about 3,050 mile# from New York.

Tbs first shock was at S:83:M a.m. (e s .t.) followed by another at 3:41:30 a.m.

ton Daybook

Washlngtott—The health and dle- eaae-eoBtrol methode employed In the CCC camps could easily prove the moat valuable contribution at this agency.

Ob • sRictly voluntary baris, two new vaednea have baan triad out on CCC enrolees, one for pneu­monia and one for typhoid. That does not maan tha anrallaea ware used aa human guinax-pigs as wars tbe heroic soldiers who help­ed Dr. Reed stamp out yellow fever. But aa tast casaa they have given tbe medical world a big field for etatlsUcal observation.

The annual report of the War Department on Its participation in CCC work tells part of the story. Lt. Cel. Charlea G. Souder, In charge of tbs CCC Medical Ser­vice, supplemented this for us with much background.

Pneumonia la not one of the moat prevalent diseases but it baa an exceptionally high death rate among its vtctlma. During tha past fiscal year, bowavar, tba pneu­monia death rate even In the com- paretlvply healthy CCC campt was cut to one-third of the rate for tha past flvs years.Toogh Ob RoiBla

Pneunumla doaan’t pUy square with country boya. ItT tlta them harder and mors ofWn than city boya. Tha reason is not exactly known but widely suspected. Med­ical man balteve that city boys, because of constant public con­tacts, develop graatar Immunity to pneumonia than country boys. This la true also for diphtheria.

Naw Ehigland'a CCC anroiiees, largely from cities, had a mini­mum of pneumonia despite tbe rigorous cUmete. Moat pneumo­nia was among CCC grou ^ in the South. There a larger portion of both negro and white enrolees are from rural areas. Negroes seem especially euBcepUble to tbe dis­ease, either from an hereditary characteristic or lesa resistance due to other cause. Evidence to the vhcctne'e benefit to them was lass certain. But the vaccine work­ed especially well with southern whites.More Virulent

Success with a new typhoid vaccine was also apparent All typhoid vaccine used by tbe Brit­t s and until recently by the U. S. Army and Navy came from one source, serum taken from e British soldier In the Boer War more than 40 years ago. His was the starting "culture." The U. 8. Army got a "atart” of the Boer War breed from the Britlah In 1911.

But lately the army has believ­ed the British stock not suRicient- ly virulent The army wanted a tougher variety which would pro­duce a sounder immunity. A Yankee soldier on duty in Pana­ma was found to be a carrier of s type of adequate virulence. Since 1837 It has been used In the CCU campa and even longer In the army.

Its use has been accompanied hy a steady decrease of tbe dis­ease In CCC camps. Much of this reduction the army attributes to Increasingly sanitary conditions. Anyway. CCC typhoid cases were reduced to nine last year, with no deaths among the 230,000 en- rollees.Venereal Cases Detained

Venereal diseases presented a special problem. Discharge of In­fected enrollecs was found to be an "unsatisfactory" procedure be­cause it endangered others. More recently a new plan was adopted. Victims of the disease are sent at once to a hospital for isolation and treatment. Gonorrhea victims are cured and dischxrged.

But to discharge a sypbllla suf­ferer. either at-the end of hie en­rollment or before flnel treatment wee completed, would make him a public menace. Now these are discharged only when public egen dee will continue the treatment until danger of spreading the In­fection Is past. Where this Is not possible the patient ia kept in the CCC until cured, even If a re-en­rollment is necessary.

Hard to Keep Track OfWhile this war—the one b^

who likes to Hataa.

yesterday: After dl Torio. la killed. Dawtoa loaada ap tbe four, questlona them. Ara was reatlng. Alatoa atin asleep. Mre. B e a t h o r a e was telephoaing. Douglas had renmlned In the study. "How do yoa explain the dhmp mud or yoor shoes ? ” Daw- eon asks Donglas.

Chapter XVU"Oooh, John!" Ara’a appealing

cry confirmed tbe truth o f Daw­son's statement. Douglas glanced down at hla shoes. The gray-brown mud accused him.

"You were In tba study, all right, listening to everything that Joey said to me.” Dawson shot a t him. "You heard us come out of the pasaageway, go into the living room. You stood, right where you’re standing now and when Joey peered around tbe corner, >'ou killed him.

"Then you ran dowfi tha pas­aageway to the atraet, doubled back across tbe lawn and climbed in the study window. You ought to know your way along that route pretty well by now, Dougles. I t ’s the second time you've baan over it."

"Hello, Captain! Sorry I took—’’ Dan Flynn'a greeting froze in hla throat as he pushed through the front door, stared a t the group gathered a t the foot of the stairs, ^ fo r e he could manage "another word,'he caught right of dl Torlo'a body.

"Jo ey ?’’ he asked, softly.’’Y ea’’ Dawson replied. "Mur­

dered. Ju st like Benthorna. Joey knew too much . . . "

"He could have been a good guy, if he'd been on tha right ride of the fence," Flynn euloglaed. "I'll miss bringing you in. Joey . . . "

’This man JJouglas killed him.” Dawson Interrupted. "Put hand­cuffs on him and don’t let him out of your eight. Don’t let any of them out of your sight. 'Take them all into the living room and keep them there . . . Krone, when did the coroner say he’d be here?”

"Captain,’’ Flynn began, "Juat as I was coming In I got a hunch.

"I don't care about your hunches,” Dswson shouted, his anger mounting. "Get In that liv­ing room and stay there. When X have time to listen to your hunches, I ’ll send for you. Are you going to obey orders, Flynn?"

"Yea, air."Dawson turned back to Krone

and dl Torio’s body. ’T want that bullet first. Haro it checked against the one that killed Ben- thorne and you’ll find they’re the same. The gun was probably hid­den In Benthorne’a study all the time. After you flniah with the coroner, have a look around out- aide for tbe revolver. Douglas probably threw It Into the shrub­bery."

"Maybe be brought It back Into the study with him. I ’ll ^ v e a look. Get good pictures cn all of this. Krone." He hurried Into the study.

I rsally waatad to see you. You're going to try to pin these murders on John, aren't y«uT”

‘T t’a a pratty claar ease."*Tou baltave, dont you. Cap­

"Tliat’s about It. And today be reversed the performance adth Joey- as tbe main setor. We'ro got him—"

“You’rs wrong. Captain." ’n ils was a new Ara—a girl fighting not for s hate, but for love. "John Douglas was not tn tbe psssage- wsa last night. I know—I was there myaalfl"

She hurried on before Daweon could voice a question. "I l«ft the taxi as soon as it turned the cor-, ner, ran to the street entrance of Uje passageway. I opened tbe OMr and was feeling along the paaaage.

‘T Intended to kill Benthf my father, and have John blsu for It. He was going In the study window. He was to surpriae Ben- tbome, threaten him and force him to give up my proofs. John also wanted to make Benthorne tell how be got hold of the m ln e-j But John never Intended to him.

" I ’ve lived on bate so long.' Captain. No one ever loved me, no one ever cared about me, ex­cept John. And I was fool enough to try to blame a murder on him.

"I know better now . . . I love John. He’s the first, the only person I ’ve ever loved. I ’ve bated ail the othera, even those who tried to help a Uttle. You—you can’t blame him for thi« Ben­thorne murder!"

There waa plenty of evidence that Douglas bad eonsa in the window. Dawson’s ayea picked up a moist outline of s shoe on the carpet by tha wtodow and ouUtdc be found almoat perfect foot­prints. Douglas hsdn’t had tha time to cover up bis trail as he bad last n ight

She waa willing to do any­thing to save the man she loved from the trap she had created. She was weeping quits unasham­edly now, begging for John Doug- laa’ freedom.

But Da'wson could not let senti­ment, nor admiration, nor pity away his decision. I f she had proof . . . . ”Tou were In tbe pas­sageway, you said. Where were you when the shot was fired?”

Ara resumed her story, a Uttle more composed. "I waa almost halfway to the hall door. I stood there terrified. Then the study door slammed.

Recall Navy’s World War Efforts

.\merican Achievements In Both Laying Bar­rages, Sweeping Them Up Spectacular.

(This Is the first of two articles on tbe uses of mines in tbe World war and in tbe present European conflict)

By Albert W. WUmm . .New York. Dee. 8.—(JF)—The

rising toll of Germany’s magnetic mine vlctlma arouses speculation among authorities on Naval war­fare regarding this new weapon and recalls to them spectacular achievements of the American Navy In both laying mine bar­rages and Bweeping them up.

American inventive genius pro- educed the first electric mine, until

DOW tbe most dangerous of these Fweapons, and at the close of the World war found a way to combat it.

Ttie electric mine waa an ad- van ^ over the old perctiaslon type because Its sensitive antennae, reaching out In the sea, would set off the explosive upon the slight­est oontact with a ship’s metal hull. Germans and Britlah ware using the old mine with horns Jutting out from it, which had to be broken off by a firm blow, to cause the explosion. German raiders, carrying taundreda of these dangerous mines In tbelr holds, succeeded in planting them in British empire porta as far dis­tant as India and Australia.

HmaUer Than Old TypesBut noa Germany appears to

h ave a mine with a much wider Ignition radius, American vet- erana of undersea warfare said, and alao one that la much smaller than older types but with a pro­portionately greater detonating quality..

Tba pointed out that, tha British admit they have found It difficult to find tha magnetic mines, sup­porting the theory that Germany may b« using a new kind of ex­plosive In smaller mines which are neither buoyant nor moored as a rt older types.

Despite Prime Minister Cham­berlain's statement recently that "already we know tbe secret of tbe Nari mines,’’ the British mine- sweeping fleets so far have suc­ceeded only in finding mostly old­er types, according to London’s own official reports.

Posalbilitiea of magnetic mines were known to navies of the United statea and other nations. Naval authorities said. But' tn- Btead o f . leaping to tbe victim Bhlp’a hull, as magnets are popu­larly known to behave, the mines apparently explode without any vialble contact, they said, tbe mere passage of a veasel through a magnetlxer area surounding the mine being sufficient to set It off.

Areas Moat Be SmallAll ships destroyed by magnetic

mines have been dose to the Brtt- iab coast, aome tn the Thames es­tuary, supporting the "view that

. the inlnes are used only In shal­low water and sink to the bottom. I t la well known that magnetlaro diasipatea a t a rapid rate ao that magnetic areas must ba amall.

It would not be difficult to sow llgBt, small mines from airplanes, aa Germans have been reported doing. Naval experts said, point­ing out that for years American Navy planes have been equipped to fire torpedoes a t ships by dro ping them in tbe sea. The torpe­does do not explode by striking tha water. Mines, they aaid, could be protected by a aheathlng which disintegrated in water.

Naval men have heard many etoriee of Germany making small- ar but more devastating explos­ives with liquid s ir or eompreiuad oxygen and hydrogen. Chemical authorities discredited widely pub­lished reports that such bombs were used in the Spanish war.

Made From Air Products‘T he Germans probably called

them air bomba, but simply meant they were made from ammonia and nitrate, which are air pro­ducts,” one authority suggested.

The U. S. Navy experimented In 'a ir bombs' during the World war, but fotmd oxygon and hydrogen could not be kept in a comproasad state and gave up after a young chemist was killed at the Dover. N. J - laboratories.

Fire DestroysPoultry Plant

New Milford, Dec. 6.—(P)—A modern poidtiy plant, 3,000 chick­ens and a quantity of feed were destroyed by fire of undetsnnlned origin two mllas outside of the

^Tflla^s at New MUtord with a toes estimated a t $17,000.

Firemen were helpless in tbelr fight against ths flames which de- stroyM ths main building of ths Rock River poultry plant and sev­eral out-abeds within an hour aft- ar their discovery.

The plant, owned by Charles Charkowsky, who lived naariqr, was opatated by Warren Turner, fanner tnatnietor a t tbe Kent school, who took over the pram- Isea on a lease last July.

The owner Mid the loss was partly covnrsd by insurance.

Fire Prevention Crew In Time to Demonstrate

Milwaukse, Dee. 8—(P)— The Milwaukee Fire Depert- ment's novel campaign of hav­ing firemen, on their own time, spread the gospel of fire prevention ia getting results.

Usut. EMward Tews snd Private John Krayeskt of Truck 7, dressed in tbelr finest, rang Mra Henrietta Koeppen’s doorbell.

"May we." they asked, " in ­spect your house in our fire prevention campaign?"

"Thank you,’’ she replied, •T think you arrived Just in time. For the last half hour I ’ve been amelllng smoke."

The "firemen took off their uniform ' coats, traced the smoke to a spot above an overheated amoke pipe. They chopped their way to the fire and used buckets of water from a basement tap to put it out. Damage waa $20.

Lieutenant Tewa and Pri­vate KrayeakI brushed their trousers, put on their coats, reported the fire to headquar­ters snd resumed their volun­tary search for fire hazards.

Hartford, Dec. 5.—More deaths result from tuberculosis ia ths 30 to 39 year period than a t any other time and during this period snd the preceding ten years spproxl- matsly twice ss many females die of tbe disease ss do males. It waa disclosed today by the Stats De psrtment of Health, which urga< continued public support of thi Christmas seal sale, tne receipts of which sre used for the preven­tion and care -f tuberculosis eases.

818 Deaths LM t Year State statistics also reveal that

In 1938 there were 616 deatha from tuberculosis, all forma, which gave Connecticut its lowest death rate from this disease, 34.4 per 100,000 population. With a death rate in 1038 of 67.8 tor all forma of tuber- euloaia it waa pointed out that the state’s rate haa been cut almoat fifty per cent during thia ten year period and that good work should continue through the cooperative effort of all in tha extensive cam­paign agalnat tubarouloals. -

Find Oases First In combatting the dlsenae ths

very first step Is to find tha cases ths statement streased. This must be done so that tha patients may have tbe beat chance to get well and also to protect persona nai dated with them from Infection. Tha disease usually dsvalops so slowly and insidiously that for s long time there may be no reason to suspect Its preseaea snd seek medical advice. Thus a patient may spread infection before symp­toms occur. Even when a patient hss symptoms It la often difficult tor a phiraician to make a daflnlta diagnosis by physical examination alone. Tuberculin testa locate SUS' pldoua esses which when later confirmed by X-ray and thus diag­nosed are placed under adequate treatment ’early. .

"This treaty settles sll questions which the Soviet government had discussed without result with the delegates of Finland’s former gov­ernment which has now resigned Its powers.’ ’

This was s reference to ronces- •alons granted by the TerlJokl "peo- pie's" government for Finland set up last Friday under Russian aus­pices and proclaimed from Mos­cow. Molotoff's message went on:

"In Its declaration of Dec. 1 this year the government of the ilemorrallc republic of Flq]jind ad­dressed to the government of the U.R.S.R. a request to render the democratic republic of Finland as­sistance with military forces In order to eliminate by Joint efforts ns soon as |Kissible a most danger­ous scat of war created In Finland by her former nilers.

Convocation Not Justifled "Under such circumstances Ru­

dolf Molsti's appeal to the League of Nations cannot Justify convo­cation of the Council of the League and the Assembly, espe­cially since persons on whose be­half Rudolf HolstI is addressing the League cannot be considered authorized representatives of the Finnish people.

" I f notwithstanding the above considerations the Council of the League and the Assembly were still convened to consider Rudolf HoLsti's application, the .Soviet government would not lieem it pos­sible to take part in these assem­blies.

"This decision is also supported by the fact that the communica­tion of the secretary-general of the League of Nations on convo­cation of the Oiiincll and Assem­bly, reproducing the text of Hol- stl'B offensive and slanderous let­ter. Is manifestly Incompatible with the requirements of due re­spect for the Soviet union.

Seei Reblrtti nf Leagueijeague sources professed to

forsee the rebirth of the League aa a power In world politics, and some openly predicted Italy and Spain might return to the fold once Russia were out.

They viewed the South Ameri­can membership of the league as giving the league vital world char­acter.

It was believed generally In these quarters that Russia would resign before the League Council, meeting Saturday to .,-henr Fin­land's case, has a chance to act against her.

The Argentine and Uruguayan notes fell under Article 16 of the League covenant providing that "a member of the League, which has violated the covenant may he declared no longer a member oy vote of the council."

That measure never haa l>ecn applied.

Certain League quarters said Great Britain and France would have to support the Finnish ap­peal against Ku.asla, or lose all the prestige they had won In .South America as sponsors of League Ideals.

The prevslllng opinion was that the weight of South American In­fluence had nut-balanced any fear of the Britlah-French alllea th.xt ousting Hiiaaka would force her Into cioser lies with Germany.

lar to tbia:"We had good weather; our.

games were better, and our tickets were not priced too high.”

Based on reports from 69 repre­sentative schools throughout the nation, an Associated Press survey today showed s 333-game attend­ance mark of 7,570,150 for 1939, compared with 7,489,786 for 341 games a year ago. That la « gain of barely over one percent for the entire country.

Had It not been for substantial Increases in the Rocky Mountain area and the south, the flgure might not have shown an Increase.

A three-way tight for the cham­pionship among Colorado, Utah and Denver, plus May-llke weather, caused the Mountain attendance to Increase by 19 percent.

And thanks to a big helping h(uid by Tulane, enjoying one of Its best seasons, southern flgurea skyrocketed It percent.

Tulane set what is claimed to be a southern record by playing before' 267,796 in eight home games, as against 92,027 last year. The Duke-North Carolina game, setting a single game mark of 51,- 000, was an important factor in the southern rise.

The far west showed a gain of four piercent, due largely to a grand U. C. L. A. team which drew about 400,000—the largest crowd to see any one team In the country. That includes an estimated 101,000 for next Saturday’s game with South­ern California.

The midwest gained only .001 percent over 1938. The big losers were the southwest and the east, although the Harvard-Yale game drew 52.000, the largest crowd since 1931.

The east dropped about four per­cent, and the southwest, where Rice had'as difficult a time at the gate aa on the fleld, skidded about 18 percent under last year’s at­tendance.

One of the most sensational gains was made by the amaslng Iowa team, which drew only 153,- ■000 last year, but played to 237,- 500 this season.

iS fC TL Y. M- -s-t

Three years In auccession flow, Manchester High haa been victori­ous over Bristol High In the flrst mieting of the season between these bitter rivala but the Red and White is still a long ways behind In wins and loaaea over the twen­ty-year seriea, Bristol boasting 27 vtctortes to 16 for Mancheater.

Bristol FavoriteCo-championa of the Ontrat

ah In their 1939-40 opener at Bell CJity this Friday night Bristol installed as the (avor-

'Ite by virtue of its two lopsided wins In Its flrst two starts while Manchester spilt sven with the Alumni and west Hartford,

Bristol claims that it hasn’t beaten by Manchester on its

home floor for 13 years but that lelaim l^diaproved by the records for the'^arkemen knocked off the Men of Monahan at Bristol as re­cently as 1937, doing it by a 26-23 count in the flret engagement.

Moat of Manchester’a 16 tri­umphs over Bristol came before the formation of the CCIL for In the 13-year history of the circuit the Red and White has garnered only six wins to 20 for Bristol, the rivals meeting three times In state toum^ competition In that time wtth Bristol winning twice.

Bristol has piled up a total of 1,237 points In ths 43 games play­ed for an average of nearly 29 points per game, whlla Manches­ter has collected 1,032 points for an average of-exactly 24 points per game.

See Capacity Crowd Friday's encounter at the Bris­

tol Armory Is certain to attract a capacity crowd os the two games between the teams are the high points of the season tor players and fans alike. Last year 2,200 fana Jammed Into the drill shed and there'll probably be aa many Friday, with a large delegation from Manchester.

Coach Tommy Monahan baa an array that Includes a goodly num­ber of veterans, beaded by Otto "Cold" Winters, high scoring for­ward, while Coach Will Clarke’s latest edition has only two veter­ans in Hilinski and Blanchard. Manchester has a wealth of fight­ing spirit, however, and should put up a stiff battle all the way. The ultimate League champ may emerge from tbls scrap and both Bides will be gunning for vlctcMry in a "shoot the works” tussle.

Amerks Launch Season i Al Sports Center To-; morrow Against Terry-' ville; the Line-Up. IThe Polish-American basketball

team will open Its season tomor-' row evening at the Sports Center' on Wells street against the Terry- | ville Polish team. The locals will ■ have a fine aggregation of hoop- sters when this season gets under- ■ way with Johnny Falkowski hand­ling the squad. For tha past sever­al weeks the team has been put­ting in three practice sessions weekly In addition to getting some more with the aircraft companies where many are employed. Thus it will be seen that the PA's will be In tip-top shape for the first game.

Boost CISMy SquadThere is quite a bit of rivalry be­

tween the Terryvllle team and the locals. It seems that last season this visiting aquad enjoyed a good year and twice dumprti the Man­chester team out of the running for the State League crown. Man­chester was handicapped last Ma­son to a great extent but with quite a sprinkling of veterans hopes to bring back ths pennant here. Johnny BychoUkl, high scor- it>8 Trade School player, has been added to the roster and he haa quite a reputation In basketball circtea

"Buck" Bycbolski, the real vet- oran of tha team will have as his running mates four of the tallest players In Manchester to help out in tha scoring department, Ed Koae, a former high echool star, Al Kurlowica, Johnny Bycholaki and Johnny Falkowaki. Then there will be thoM two great speedatera, Stan Opalach and “Duke" Haraburda with Mike Saverick to round out the team. Saverick la a great de­fensive back and also can ring 'em with the bMt.

Then "Butch” Vojeck, once a gTMt Trade School player, has come out for tha team which wut make tea players Including Coach Falkowski. So that will mean Opalach, Haraburda, Vojeck and Saverick making up the midget portion of the tMm with Kom , the two Bycbolskla, and Kurlowlcs in tha tall aquad along with Al Obu- cbowskl who la (me of the beat

basketball players in the state. The latter successfully piloted the PA's to the Twilight league baseball title laat year.

The preliminary game will bring together two girl teams that will also be In the Polish Girl State League and like the male team have put In plenty of practice get­ting ready for the start of the sea­son. The final lineup of the girls will not be named until Wedne^ay night Just before the game. There are so many candidates for posi­tions that it has been hard to make the selections best suited for the team.

Bock Two TeamsIt has been officially announced

that the team representing the Polish-American club in the state league would not enter in the Recreation League this winter.' There will be, however, a team representing the club known aa the White Eagles. Apparently this Is the flrst time that any club has sponsored two teams in cme sea­son and the move In this direction was ca.-'tully thought out.- By doing this the Polish club will be assured of good replacements for the big team in the future and at the same time allowing the youngr er players a chance to play on their own.

Following the game there will be dancing with a popular orches­tra and many added featurM dur­ing the aeaaon. The management of the club haa announced that It would play other gamM her# out­side of the league if attendance flgurM ararrant i t It la also plan, ned to hava all the gamM atari promptly on time to allow plenty of time for dancing.

New York, Dec. 5.—(/P)- You can take your pick among Texae A. and M., Tennessee and South­ern California as the nation’s best 1939 football team, but right now the experts are picking the Ag­gies.

They completed their regular campaign last week with their tenth straight victory, while their two leading rivals have to play a couple of dangerous rivals Satur­day before they can breathe easily, sit back and wait for bowl bids.

It may have been a wait-and- see attitude on the part of the football experts participating In the sroson's next-to-last Associat­ed PreM ranking poll that made

I them Hat the Ag^es, Tennessee and Southern California in that order.

Texas A. and M„ rated first by 28 of the 87 voters, polled 763 points of a possible 870. Tennes* see, moved into second place with 19 first-place votes and 741 points, and the Trojans, came In third vith 18 firsts and 709 points.

The remarkably-cloae call South­ern California had against Wash­ington last Saturday, winning 9-7 In tha last two minutes of play, apparenUy iaflutnesd tha nparts conaldsrably. A wMk ago, after their triumph ever Notra Dame, the Trojans shared the lead with the Ag^ea. Tennessee waa fourth laat week, but bounced back again after Its daclslvs victory over Kentucky.

Southern (Jsllfornla’s rival In the season’s windup thia week-end Is U. C. L A. and the rankinga reflect the general forecMt for the game—U. 8. C. overcoming stub­born oppositloa to win.

N^w York. Dee, 8.—OF)—For the ; aecond year In luccesaton, Cornell's | Ivy Lesghe champions place three ' men on th " all-eastern football' team compiled foday by the Asso- I dated Press. {

Drawn from ths Unbeaten, untied i Cornell array are three Juniors — I Tackle Nick Drabos, Center Frank' Flnneran and End Alvah Kelly— but the eight remaining pdaitlons are split by as many colleges.

Sharing the en(i poats with Kelley la Harlan Oualafson, tall, rangy captain of Pennsylvania’s team, while Drahos' running mate at tackle la Harry Stella, stand­out performer In an otherwise iin- Impresstve Army outfit.

Flanking Flnneran at the guard poaitiona are Agnoatinn Llo, junior line star of Georgetown’a unbeaten team, and Erneat Schwotser of Boaton College.

up of Ed Boell of New York Uni­versity; Ronnie (^htll of Holy Cross; Bill Hutchinson of Dart­mouth. and Dominic Principe of Fordham.

This array of all-atar talent averages 195 pounds In ths lins and 183 In ths backfleld.

Boell probably waa ths moat varaatlle back in the East this season, ninner, psaaer and kicker of marked ability. Principe givM the flrat team tha necessary llneamaah- ing, blocking and defenaiva assist­ance.

Not far behind thia quartet come the aecond team backflald made up of Walter Matuascaak, Ooraell’a gTMt blocker aad ptoy-cMar; Francis RMgaa, briUtoat star; Nick Baaca, sparkplug for VUlanova; and Merlyn CUimt of Carnegie Tecta.

Selectman Luplen called attention to the manner In which other towns like Norwich maintain their sidewalks. "A lot of them are al­most stairways,” lAiplen said. " I f people can sue for every little rise In the wnlk, that city must be al­most banknipL”

Recently several clalma have been Hied against the town, many In cases which the Selectmen feel are unwarranted. It was Indicat­ed that the Board wlU not under­take to make any further settle- menta on clslms outside of court, where. In many Instances It baa been held that the person walking boa certain responalbllltlea con­nected with hla equilibrium.

Immediate repair or removal of the old Rialto theater mar^ee, held to be a public menace. 'The order was Issued on suggestion of Town Counsel William B. Hyde who was asked for an opinion on procedure. It Is said the marquee drains water on to the side walk, and thia water may freeze, caiioing a haz­ard.

Aftar a public hearing In which there was no opposition, the Board voted to establish a building line of 13 Instead of 25 feet, along the westerly aide of Summit street for 90 feet north from Its Inler- sertlon with East O nter street.

Thera will be a meeting of the Board's water committee Thurs­day at 4 p.m. to discuss requested sewer Installation on Locust street and Incidental problems.

On request of Case Brothers, tho Board reappointed John Tim­brel as special constable for six months. Similarly reappointed at request of the Park Department were Benjamin Hutton and Wil­liam Andnilot.

The Board received notice of a claim from Alice Gilbert, who states that she fell on an alleged­ly defective sidewalk at 17 Laurel street last November 18 and broke two bones In her right hand. The report was turned over to the town counsel.
