Chamber Defeats, 44 to 38, Amendment to Re- j quire Congressional Approval o f Future \greements; Adams l*roposal Also Beaten.
<f-Department Store Must

Washington, April 4.— ,(.AP)-—The administration’s reciprocal trade program sur-j vived another major Senate test today when the chamber defeated, 44 to 38, an amendment to require congressional approval of future trade agreements. A fter rejecting the O’Mahonqy proposal, the Senate rejected, 46 to 34, a proposal by Senator Adams (D., Colo.), to require ap- in-oval of trade agreements by a simple majority of the Senate.
The amendment, aponaored by Senator O'Mahoney (D., Wyo.). would have subjected agreemenU t.) approval by a majority of both hoiir-cs. O'Mahoney sought to write It Into pending legislation to continue for three years the nilministratlon’s power to readjust tariffs by agreement with other jiiiUons.
The Senate last week rejected. 44 to 41, a propo.sal to require lallilcatlon of agreements by two- thirds of the Senate.
Helpa Clear Way for Action.Today's vote helped clear the
way for final action on the trade leg^Iatlon. Several other amendments remained to be disposed of, however, and It was problematical whether a final vote could be reached by tonighC
Opponents of the adminlstra- tion'a reciprocal twule program sought today to put a one-year limit on the aystem.

—June 12 the executive power to alter tariffs In exchange for foreign conceaalons. '— '*
In a aeries o f Informal conversations, opponents of the House-approved administration measure decided that a one-year extension would be preferable to the legislation as It now Is drafted.

New York, April —A w itness testified in Federal Court today that all o f the information McKesson and Robbins Company tax experts had about * the concern’s Canadian subsidiary was furnished to them by George Diet-
i rich-Musica, brother o f F. Donald Ooster-Musica, who killed himself after being exposed as a former convict.
The witness, W, C. Ettershank, head of the company's tax department, also sold that to the best of his knowledge "all tax returns In Canada showwl that the company dealt only In crude drugs and and never did any manufacturing there.”
Continuing his testimony about the involved tax returns . o f Me- KoaisoB and Robblna, bo said that in lOSd or 1087 a "Mr. Felnor” visited Bridgeport to oxamlne tax retuma o f tho Canadian suheldiary. Felnoz was a government revenue man.
Ettershank said Coater-Muslca prepared a letter outlining the operations of the Canadian company at his request, and th'at this was given to Felner.
raid on Fictitious BnslneaaThe government contends, that
the Canadian branch, McKesson and Robbins, Ltd., was a "dummy” company and that It paid thousands of dollars in taxes to the Canadian government on fictitious business.
Ettershank testified the Canadian company paid taxes to Canada until 1985. A fter that, he said. It paid a nominal fee of 8100 a year, on the basis that It waa not doing business In Canada.
The government exhibited duplicate copies of state tax retuma which the company filed after qualifying to do business In this country.
Howard Corcoran, assistant T7. 8. attorney, attempted to show that certain notations on 1037 returns Indicated the company inventories eUn were In Canada, despite Buppoaedly having been moved to this country.
Eatertalaed D. 8. AgentsEttershank said U. 8. tax author
ities visited hln$ “ from time to time” at Bridgeport.

Says He I»| Hopeful the President Will Run So New Deal
I Be Wiped Out.
Portland, Me., April 4—(/P)—, Declaring the underlying philoso- I phy of the New Deal "is WTong ' and must be rejected,” U. S. Rep- I rcsentatlve James W. Wadsworth j (R., N. Y. > said today the best way to accomplish this was "to beat Roosevelt himself."
•T don’t know how you feel about it, but I hope he runs,” Wadsworth told Maine Republicans in a keynote address at their state convention here. "The issue then would be perfectly clear —the New Deal and the third term—two things which ought to be considered together.”
Raking over seven years of the Roosevelt administration, Wadsworth said a "curious and significant omission” could be found in the President's public utterances.
Omit Word "Thrift.""Never once during this hectic
I period has Roosevelt used the ; word ’thrift’ or Its equivalent,” he I said. "And for that matter nev- I er have any of his principal lieutenants used It.”
" I submit.” he added, "that the omls.sion of that single word from the New Deal vocabiilary is significant. It denotes a habit of thought. It helps to Identify a philosophy. It suggests a change In the American •'w’ay of thinking and of living—planned and encouraged by Mr. Roosevelt.”
Instead, he said, the President had often used the phrase "planned economy.”
“The farmer has been told that he must achieve security by reducing production,” Wadsworth continued. “ He must raise less food. Both the farmer and the Industries and all the commercial interests have been told that the buying power of the people, which may be regarded aa a partial measure of security, must be Increased by roaana of enormous governmental expenditures.
Popular With Voters"Tho hugs expenditure is ex
pected not only to Improve our economic condition, to help bring security to the people, but also to be exceedingly popular among the voters as they go to the polls."
"The engineer whose hand baa been at the throttle of this gigantic engine la confident .tjiat there will always be a considenble number of voters enthusiastic over getting more for producing less, snd that they will be grateful for their security In such s way of life."

"Hitler’s Germany will not succeed In selling us that counterfeit. It would be madness to believe that by signing some kind of a compromise with her that we should be signing anything other than our death warrant for the following day,” ,
Reynaud also called Soviet Russia an "accomplice" of Germany In aggression.

Charles E. Rohan of 10 Edger- ton street, who aerved as acting postmaster of the Highland Park office until last Saturday, when he closed the office because he could not secure a location, said lata today that he had received no word from Washington in reply to his notification that ha was closing the office.
Aa a result of the closing, letters mailed to Highland Park through tha Manchester poiatoffice can now ba mailed for two cents Instead of threa cants, aa was ths former charge. This now leavw but two sections In Manchester where it la necessary to atUch a threa cent stamp for malt passing through the Manchester poatofflce, Buck- land and Mancheater Green.

bound to win It. After seven months of war, I feel ten times as confident aa I did at ths beginning."
NaUoa "OampletolF United" Tha prime minister said he be
lieved that never before in all Great Britain’s history had the nation been "so completely united upon the broad alma of our policy and upon our determination to carry on this fight until ws have achieved our purpose." *
He praised tbs decision of the political parties to lay aside party strife as far as possible "in order to concentrats on winning the war."
’’I do not claim that the government should be exempt from crltl- cUm." he declared, "but I do feel that as we are all agreed aa to what we want out of this war, the government of the days hi entitled to claim general support for Its war policy,"
Preparing Long ’Mine The pifme minister said Ger
many began preparing for war long before It started but that "one thing is certain—Hitler mUa- ed the btia!"
Hitler’s failure to "take advantage of bis Initial superiority and to make an endeavor to overwhelm us and France before we had time to make good our deficiencies," he called a "very extraordinary thing.
"Wa must admit—I do admit— that we have not yet succeeded in so bringing work and workers together as to make full use of our existing manpower," Chamberlain said.
"That means we have not reached our full strength. We are mak- l»lf great efforts to do so.”
Of Germany’s failure to atrike hard at the beginning, Chamber- lain declared It might have been "Plat Hitler thought that be might get away with what he had got without flghlng for It or . . . that, after all, preparations were not sufficiently completed. .
The seven months of war, he said, have enabled the Allies to
make good and remove our weak neasea, to conaolidate and tune up every arm, offensive and defensive, and so enormously to add to our fighting strength that we can face the future with calm, whatever It brings."
He continued:"I would be the last to under
rate the enehiy'a strength or hl4 determination to use that strength without scruple and without mercy If he thinks he can do so without getting his blows returned with Interest.
I say thla, too—the very completeness of hla preparatlona has left him little margin of strengthto call upon."
The prime minister declared that Germany "has not any real friend In the world” and that leaka and loopholes In Britain’s blockade of Germany are being mended.
"Our victory." he declared, spells freedom.
"I ask you to bear In mind that thla la a war of will and the wUl to conquer. I put my faith In the courage and tenacity of our race, which has never failed."

ChurchUl Climbs Into Driver*s Seat
London, April 4.—()P) — Hardhitting Wlnaton ChurchUl climbed Into the driver’s seat of the Britiah war machine today with a big share of the job of winning public confidence in the government’s fighting qualities.
A new ahakeup in Prime Minister Chamberlain’s wartime Cabinet puts the duties of chief Ivar atrate- gist on the shoulders of, the flrat lord of the Admiralty,
The ahakeup answered ' clamor to "fight the war" but theVe atUl was skepticUm whether the prim# minister had succeeded in plugging all the gaps in tha natlon’a fighting efforts.
Preaa reaction to the new Cabinet setup ranged from the Dalw Herald’s brickbat, "futUe," to The Times's more subtle comment that it "Is not calculated, and perhaps was not Intended, to afouae any great ehthualoom."
Cast In New RolesFor tho most part tho new cast
la the aame os the old, only In different roles, and In oevaral casss tha changes were mere swapa. One cartoonist pictured It aa a game of musical chairs, with Chamberlain playing the tune.
The only new blood In the ministerial family la in the food minio- try .where Lord Woolton, an indua- triaUst experienced la giaveminent trade and supply operations, tu<x ceeded Herbert 8. Morrison.
The only minister missing from the new alignment la Lord Chat- field, who waa aqueeaed out by the diaoolutlon of tha ministry for coordination of defenat.
Primarily, Chamberlain achieved three reforms In the cabinet facelifting, noteworthy more for Ha change In governmental organiaa- tlon than in men. ’They were;
1. Endowing Churchill with almost unchallenged mastery over the fighting services os head of the armed oervicee committee)
3. Putting Sir John Simon and Sir Kingsley Wood la almost tha same category on the home fronU;
S. Cutting down the war cabinet from nine to eight ministers by cutting out the Ministry for

Secret Session On Warfare Policies
London, April 4—(#)— Prime Minister Chamberlain announced today that a secret session of the House of (Commons would arranged for next ’Thuraday to debate tha government’s economic warfare policies.
Before the prime mlnlater’a announcement In Commons Opposition Leader Clement R. Attlee said there would be difficulty In discussing economic warfare publicly.
‘1 recognize that the subject la S f ImporUnce and one
which perhaps It might be difficult to debate in public,” Chamberlain replied.
'T shall be very glad to make the necessary arrangementr for a secret session."
The only previous secret session during this war waa Dec. 13 and waa followed almost a month later by the removal of Leslie Hore- Belisha aa war secretary.
Churchill Program Is Seen Endorsed
Berlin, April 4.—(;P)—The British Cabinet rearrangement was declared by authorised German sources today to be a complete endorsement of Winston Churchill’s program of “starving out" Germany and Involving neutrals In the war.
They professed amusement at the versatility of the Cabinet mln- iaters In changing posts without "previous training for new posts.'

over all other contenders.' Seventeen more Republican delegates were to be chosen In state conventions today, four at large In Kansas and 13 In Maine.
Of the l.tKM) delegates who will make up the Republican national convention. 168 have been selected,
he Democrats have picked 134 of elr 1.094. Presidential nomlna-
I'lns are by majority vote.First P ieced Support
Dewey's acquisition of most— and possibly all—of Wlaconstn's 24 Republican delegatea In his race with Senator Arthur Vondenberg gave him his first pledged support-
The New York district attorney, moreover. Is expected to have the backing of the large majority of New York's 92 uninatructed delegatea, already selected. Frank Gannett, Rochester publisher, will have the remainder.
Other Republican delegates who have been chosen are aa follows: 8 in North Carolina. 8 In New Hampshire, 12 In Florida, 4 In South Carolina, 14 In Konaas, 5 In Loula- lana, and 1 In Virginia.
.4n But One L'ninstrocted With the exception of one North
Carolina delegate, who managers of Senator Robert Toft of Ohio say was pledged to him, all this group is uninatructed. The New Hampshire delegation la generally conceded to Senator Styles Bridges of that state, and Taft claims the favor of the other 7 North Carolina delegates.
Tba Democrats have chosen 134 delegatea ao far. Unless Vice President Gamer obtains one or two of the 24 from Wisconsin, all are either pledged or favorable to the president If h4 seeks another nomination.
Besides thoae Mr. Roosevelt won In Wisconsin, 6 In Alaska, 8 in New’ Hampolilre, and 10 In Maine have been instructed for him. New York’s 86 district delegates (8 at large are yet to be selected) ore unlnstruct^, hut are pro-Roose-
19 velt.Oaraer Silent On Betnms
While Vice President Gamer kept silent on the Wisconsin returns, the fact that he polled about oae-third of the total vote in the preference balloting led hla Texas campaign headquarters to assert that “ tba third term is a dead issue.
"The results clearly prove,” the headquarters statement ooid, "that the two-term tradition will be respected. Mr. Roosevelt could not
r be elected If nominated. The third term is dead.”
On the other hand, Senator Guffey (D., Pa.), a third term booster, declared the Mg third term vote confirmed hla previous predlcUons "that the people and not President
- Roosevelt would decide the third term Issue.
"It means that the people have made up their minds to draft Roosevelt,” he added.
Heavy Blow For Vaadraherg Mogt politicians agreed that
Dewey had dealt Senator Vanden- b e r g ^ Michigan a heavy blow In the Wiseonstn test, espeelany since Uie latter’s supporters had been hoping at least for an even division of the delegates.
Btit many argued that the aena- tor could not be counted out yet and that future primarlea nright change the picture. Vandenberg hlraaalf took bis d4?eat with a smile.' M>t would not talk about It
Republican eongreaakmal leaders f d l ^ comfort In the Increaaed Re-
• pumlean vote in Wleeonain. Repre- owfattve kfartln o f Mosaaebu- aettA House Republican leader, colled ,It "very encouraging.". He oddcd;v
"I think the bulk, certainly more thaii half, of the Gamer vote must have been coat by peO ^ definitely against a third term."
laSImtca fiaathiiMt CSiaaga .>|artln also oontendad that tha
d^eat of Daniel W. Hoan, veteran Socialist niayor of Milwaukee, In- dieafod the "demand of the people rot a change” and that the fusion- lots’ v ieto^ In Kansas City meant "at least tba people would have an honest count" In future dee-

His hosts at most of the luncheons and breakfasts In his honor will be men active In the Gamer for president movement.
But E. B. Germany, co-chslrman of the Garner-for-PresIdent Committee, says this has no political significance. "It is but natural that the Gamer supporters should also admire Mr. Farley. I know nothing of a movement to place Mr. Farley on the ticket with Mr. Gamer."

Pryop has stated that he would not be a candidate for re-election while Harwood has been reported ae planning to retire.
(iov. Raymond E. Baldwin, who addressed the gathering of some 125 persons, confined his remarks to party activity.

Profit on Hfx>red Products,An Improvement In demand and
a decrease In supplies thla season, resulting In Improved prices for these crops, are the major factora which make profit-selling of the stored products possible.
Farm officials were quick to cluim Bucceaa for the program on the hasis of these extra returns to growers. Oltics, on the other hand, contend that storage of crop lurphi.ws under above-the- market loans tended to place American products at dlaadvan-
ducer’s standpoint. The government offered loans at rates In excess of market pricea. Growers put 165,000.000 bushels under loan.
Then came the fall and winter drought, causing severe damage to the 1940 winter wheat crop. Prices advanced to a jvilnt where the farmer la able to sell the grain and pay off hla loan with something left over. Officials rej>ort that about 60,000,000 hiiahels of loan grain have been redeemed.
In 1938 farmers put 3,100.000 bales of cotton under similar leans. Then followed the current ’’lean" production scaain In which the crop fell about 3,000,000 bales short of domestic and foreign market needs. Prices advanced above the loan value snd farmers have "cashed In” on about 1,777,000 bales.

To Messurw Intonslty Of KaysThe McDonald observatory will
set up a station in the Chisos Mountain in the Texas Big Bend to measure the Intensity of the rays coming from the edge of the sun. Those days ordinarily are not measurable, since they are mostly masked by the more Intense rays from the middle areas of the sun. The rays visible during the ling eclipse will be from portions of the sun slanting far downhill, away from the earth. The rays measured will be Infra red.
■'It la very Impigtant that such observations be secured," says Dr, Otto Struve, in charge of the McDonald expedition, "In order to Interpret the nature of the material which makes up the outer parts of the sun's atmosphere."
Expedition Will V$e iVpip Instrument
Another expedition, different from anything ever tried before by science, will be use of a new Instrument, a coronavlsor, at Mount Locke Texas.’ Thla Instrument, which works like the scanner of a television set, was Invented by Dr, A. M. Skellett of the Bell Telephone Labocatories. It was mads to photograph, on any clear day, the sun’s ' corona which 1s never visible either to the eye or to telescopes, except during total eclipses.
'^ e coronavlsor scans In circles the light around the edge of the sun. the area where the pearly white corona appears In eclipses, and where It normally Is hidden by the sun's glare. The coronavlsor turns this light Into electricity. Strange to say. two kinds of electricity appear, direct curren. and alternating The latter comes from the invlsime corona- By converting thla alternating current back into light. Dr, Skellett gets a photo of the corona. The ring eclipse may give good coronavlsor pfeturea, but the corona will not' be visible to the eye or ordinary cameras.
No Good Photos KnownThe American Museum of Nat
ural History, New York City, will send the Hayden Planetarlum- 1-ongiiies expedition tn Jacksonville, Fla, Principal work will be getting good, photos of the ring eclipse. An announcement from the mu.seuiu says that no g<xxi photos of a ring eclipse are known. A bad

■'a Earl o f Athlone Named New Canadian Governor
f l >
OtUwa, April 4.-<5>)-Canada acclaimed a member of the royal famUy, the Earl of Athlone, as lU new governor-general today, appointed by King George VI to succeed the late Lord Tweedsmulr.
The dominion, partner-in-arms with the mother country in the European war, learned of the ap- pointment of the tRllt toldleriy i brother of Queen Mother Mary while Canada was being urged to do everything possible to win “ tM acUve support of the United States In the cause of the Allies.”
Gordon Oonartt, attorney-general of Ontario, told an audience of farmers and bualnesa men yesterday that "no sacriflee on our part will be too great If that le accomplished.”
Dominion’s Choice Prime Minister W. L. Mackenzie
—Cing disclosed that the Earl of Athlone was the dominion government's choice and that his tlon had been discussed with King George as far back as the king s tour of Canada and the States last year with Queen Ellza- beth.The appointment also was In keeping with the belief of Tweedsmulr, whose term would have expired this year, that • commoner, should be succeeded by a man high In British aristocracy.
"During the course of sever^ conversations with His Majesty, Mackenzie King said, "1 had oc- caslon to spcRk of R iucceBBor to Lord Tweedsmulr. I had every reason to believe that the Athlone would be acceptable both to HU Majesty and to Canada.
Simultaneous Announcements The announcement was made
simultaneously last night here and In London In identical statements:
"It U officially announced from Buckingham Palace that the king has been graciously pleased to approve of the appointment of Major-General the Earl of Athlone K.G.. aa governor-general of the Dominion of Canada."
Because of wartime secrecy sur rounding transatlantic travel, the date of sailing of the new gover-
U. S. Bombers to Blast Caribbean Isle
norgeneral and hU counteie. Princess Alice, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria, was not announced.
Wetoome to ha Delayed Eor the same reasons, the cus
tomary welcome and swearing-in at the port of arrival In Canada will be delayed until the Earl reachea Ottawa.
He U not expected, however, until some time in June—too late to open the aesslon of Parliament scheduled for the latter part of May.
Conant, speaking at Cannlngton, Ontario, warned that BrlUsh- French succeas "may bs vary doubtful unless acUve participation of the United SUtes Is made effective at an early date.
"Nothing short of Impariment of our atatua as a sovereign nation would be too much for Canada to offer,” the provincial attorney general declared, even letting the United States build the St. Lawrence waterway and a link with Alaska over Canadian soil.
Might Bring End To Wsr conant argu^ that a United
Statea declaration for the Allies now would show Germany what he called "the fuUIlty of her mad project” and, therefore, might bring an end to the struggle.
Of the recent speech by James H. R. Cromwell, United Statea minister to Canada, -calling an Allied victory necessary to the United-States' welfare, Oonant said It "expressed American opinion accurately” even though It was repudiated officially.
"The Allies,” hs said, “need America. They need, and will be accorded, every support that this great northern part of the American continent can extend. But they need even more the moral and particularly the material resources of our great neighboring republic to the south . . .
"Every day the United States delays In joining the Allies will .only prolong the war and increase the effort and the sacriflee that the United Statea may yet be called upon to make to save herself from the fate that now threatens all the democracies of the world.”

Factions in House Waiting In Fight on Labor Board
Washington, April 4.—(F)—TVot House factions seeking to amend the Wagner Act eyed each other anxiously today for ths flrst sign of a "break” which will start a bitter floor fight over the National Labor Board.
In the pre-battle calm, this was the situation:
TWO bills have been placed before the House. One, by the Labor Committee, would make four changes in the law, centered on In- creksing ths size of the Labor; Board. The other, by the special' Smith Committee proposes 17 changes based on creation o f an entirely new board.
Questloa ef Which BIBThe question was: Which bill
will be called up for actual debate and under what parliamentary procedure T
The flrst move probably will be mode when CHiatmian Norton (D., N. J.) aoka Acting Speaker Bay- bum (D., Tex.) for permisalon to take up the Labor Committee’s bill April 15. She suggested procedure which would require the members to vote ”yes or no” on the measure, without considering any other amendments.
All indlcatlona point to a refusal by House leaders to grant that request. But Mrs. Norton then might try another maneuver. She could ask the Rules Committee to recommend the aama procedure to the House.

Attorney Frank L, McOulto, chairman of the board and head of the aub-cqimmittee to pick the \new auperintemwnt said that the committee has "made a aelectlon” and the name will be- submitted for approval at the meeting of the hoard to he held here next Tueaday morning at 11 o’clock. The chairman would not divulge the name to be submitted for approval.
From information obtained from Inner hM^ltal circles, however. It waa learned that Dr. William A. Bryan of Worcester State hospital, Worcester, Maas., boa been the only candidate that has made several trips to the Institution and Inspected It and he looms oa the only likely choice.

String On Wedding Offer

To gain experience ta weddings ha has offered to naarry the first thiea eou- ples who eoaaa to him free of charge, and the CTuunber o f Commerce ia baoUiig him by offering to buy the lioenoea. There la one string attached: The offer la only to "LteP Tear oouplaa.** bride must do the pitqiaatag and admit that Mia .(M i t
Such a request would be the olg- il for Repreaantatives Smith (D-,
Va.) and Cox (D., Ga.), two Rules
Cqpimittee members, to try to aubatltute the 17 sweeping proposals of the Smith (tom.mittee. If they were succeseful, the Labor Committee's amendments would ha ■Idetraeked.
CV>x and Smith aaoerted that ■entlment for major reviolona In the Wagner act ta so strong that the House would accept the(r maneuver.
Arguing that bar eommlttea’s recommendations were “all that need to be done,” Mrs. Norton told reporters:
'W o teel that this bill meets most of the objections against the act without ia any way weakening ths Uw."
Shota Never Have PaooedCox told the House yesterday
that the Wagner act never ahould have been placed on the statute hooka. Ha added:
‘Tt U my opinion that tha House will accept the Smith ameadmenta by an overwhelmlag majority.”
Tha Labor committee, beokta Increasing the Labor Board mem' berahip, would protect craft un- iona against abaotpUoa by larger induotrial unions, give employera— Ilka unions—the tight to oak for a eOUactlve bargaining alaetion, ■nd forUd tba board to disturb a lagltlmata exclusive employer- woiker contract for one year.
Tha Smith Committee' would ■eparata tha board’a admltatra- tlve and Judicial functiona, revamp much of Its madUnety, relax a limitation on an amployer’a right to dloctua labor mattara with his men, and. limit back pay awards to six monthoi

NU.Senator Bherman Minton of In-
i«im nhlfted oplniona so fast, be- I,'tween Intervlewa by a prese aaao-
1 and by the New York on the name day that be is
‘foo ted by the former aa saying .fSat no Lewis party could poll 'I'Sloro than a million votes, and by ‘ tha latter aa admitting that L«w lt gHght take enough votes from the
i'j)a«»ocrata to give the atates of f i la w York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, v,gidlaaa and West Virginia to tha
[ 'I'l ltepubllcan party—and that this wraa *tnot a remotb possibility.'
There seam to be quite a num- <'har o f Mintons. They would like ta think that the toUl voUng
Vstrength of Lewis' followers la, :'•(tar all, pretty small compared to •B the votara in the country; but
. they are immediately stricken by A horrid fear that If these votes
: lboold.be sufficiently concentrated . tt they were to be subtracted
vlibdUy from the Democratic vote :dC ISSS they would be almost certain to land enough key statea In tha Hapubllcan column to give the' ^dlaetlon to the G. O. P.
I f the Kepubllcans allow them- /gahres to figure very extensively yoa such an eventuality, however, '■they may be inaking a serious ; ;aristakc. Because the least likely ; a f all things la that the Democrats
wm not prevent Lewis from bolt- ' lag by pretty nearly letting him ' write their platform and name
their candidate—or at all events hy refraining from nominating aay candidate of whom he dlsap-
Immunlty of the courts to critl- dam Is nowhere guaranteed by the Constitution of the United BUtea It Is not even suggested. But .the freedom of the press Is a Constitutional guarantee.
i The eyes of the enUre press 'o f the country will be—and those i of all the people had better be—on ' the Issue of this highly Important I test of the right of the newspaper lor the citlsen to criticise the courts when their conduct makes them legitimate objects of criticism.
N o t Such « G reat Change
I ' Nor Is It at all aafe to assume that. In case of a Democratic surrender to Lewis, swarms of "con- aarvatlve Democrats" will come BocUng Into the Republican party. I t is very doubtful If ‘‘conservative Democrats" have had any real aalstence since 1B86 except in the Solid Bouth, because It is to be auspected that in the North and West meat of such possible con- varta were converted four years ago and voted for Landon; so they wouldn't add much to the Republican total by voting Republican again this year. 'And as for any bolt by Southern Democrats,' that’s about as likely as a decimation of an mvltatlon to dinner by a two days mvoluntary faster.
Tha real Inwardness of the Lewis ultimatum—for It can be eon- aldared nothing else—la that the
",Pemocratlc party, m its platform and m the personnel of ita candl-
; dbtea, will probably move 'even ,, -further to the left and that the 4 battle at the polls will have to be
Baught on those lines.
Mr. Chamberlain has adopted his appeasement policy to the home front, with the difference that In dealing with Germany at Munich he gave the Impression of yielding a little to save much and In l)ls cabinet juggling he apparently yields much nominally to save his premiership. But At Munich he actually gave away everything and In the cabinet rebuilding about the only thing he sacrifleed was his rnmister of co- ordmatlon of defense, Lord Chat- fleld.
Over here the cabinet shift has been acclaimed as though Chamberlain had retired from management of the war and Winston .phurchlll bad stepped Into his place. That Is not the way the reshuffimg strikes a considerable part of the British press, the Dally Mall printing a cartoon representing It aa a game of musical chairs, with Chamberlam at the piano, and Labor'a Dally Herald asserting; "The nation wanta to win the war quickly. It demands of the premier a thorough spring _houae cleantog. He responds with a feeble flick of a duster."
Mr. Churchill Isn't even “ co-or- dmator of defense;" that job haa been ellmtoated. He la to preside over meetmgs of the service mto- isters.. That, and a awapptog about of the Jobs among the same crowd of professional job holders, are substantially what this hulla-1 baloo Is all about.
To be sure it does bring Churchill a bit closer to the footlights and he may have punch enough, m his meetings of the service ministries, to get thtogs (k>ne that otherwise would not have been done. But the fact nevertheless holds that so long as Mr. Chamberlain remains as premier this will be his war—and things mtist go his way or not at all.
Probably' for the time being the home front appeasement will work. But the war .policies of Great Britain will be the* war polities of Prime Minister Chamber- lain for a while longer.
N aver Deaervad Thia
The penple of this country have reason to feel genuinely W t over a speech made in an Ontario town yesterday by Gordon Oonant, Canadian attorney-general. Not because Conant told his listeners that It is Canada's duty to "do everything within our poWer to enlist the active support of the UnlUd States In the cause of the Allies" -such an Impulse Is understandable; but because of what Is Indicated by these words:
" I f the United RUtes wanU to build the St. Lawrence Waterways, by all means let us Join them! I f they want access to Alaska over Canadian soli, there should be no hesitation In settling the matter! In fact, nothing short of Impairing our sUtus as a sovereign nation would be too much for Canada to offer as a sacrlflce on the altar of liberty and freedom."
This la the very first time that anybody has ever classified the United States with the lan4gravl- ate of Hesse-Cassel or Its government with that of the Landgrave Frederick II, who rented out 22,- 000 Hessian soldiers to Great Britain to fight the American Revolu- tlonlsU for 5,191,000 pounds sterling.
Actually It brings a feeling of depression that there should be anybody In Canada—anybody at all—who has such a poor opinion of us as to believe that we could be hired Into the European war for a canal or a right of way or even a corridor to Alaska—or bribed by anythtog at all. It ’s a good deal aa If a pretty dear friend suddenly cursed you and spit m your face.

It ’s conceded now that from what the Germans know and what leaks through, they are able to box out a weather map that may be fairly accurate.
But it’s conceded also that Weather fights on the Allied aide. It moves, generally speaking, from west to east. I f the British could move in on the Nazis the way their weather does, the war would be over tomorrow.

rralssa Town Offlc4als.Eklitor, The Evening Herald:
After attending the meeting of the Board of Selectmen Monday night and hearing the report of Dave Chambers of the highways and the highway appropriation, the thought came to me that the l>eople of Manchester should 3oost our town Instead of knocking It.
I have occasion to travel over most of our roads and I consider them in very good condition considering the bard winter we have' just passed through and every day, streets that need repairs are being token care of.
Take a trip to a town about 25 miles west of Manchester (a town of about the same population and Its name Is well known to the Manchester High basketball team) If you want to ride over some bumpy and narrow roads. I know that they are full of ruts because I was up there last week and that town spends considerable more on their highways than does Manchester.
We are apt to criticise our town officials when we should give them a little praise and I think that the Board of Selectmen U doing a good Job running the town and Is consclenttoua In Its work.
J. Frank Bowen aa highway su perintendent, not only haa the highways to take care of but also all the work of town engineer which Is a big Job for one man, when you consider. that Manchester haa nS^mUes of highways and, believe you me, that Is some stretch o f road.
I f you laid silver dollars end to to end It would take 7,725,338 to extend the length of our highways. Figure it our for yourself.
I f we would give Mr. Bowen a little praise for the good work he Is doing, and remember that he has a big Job to perform and can't be everjrwhere at once. Instead of finding fault It would bo better all around. I f you have any complaints, go to h im . and tell him about them and I am
and ea^clally recommend the following: sole, halibut, aea bass, pickerel, fresh cod, tom cod, perch and black boss. All of these are easily digested when properly cooked. Those sdshlng a change may use soma of the canned varieties, such as tuna or salmon.
Boms people prefer the whole fish aad think that its flavor Is superior to fillet of fish. This may (w true when the fish Is secured fresh, but the tendency of the fish merchants Is to get away from the whole fish and to offer more fillets for sale.
It is more difficult to keep the whole fish fresh and If the whole fish Is used It Is very Important that the meat be held In good condition. The eyes should be bright and shiny and the gills a bright red. The flesh should be firm and elastic and should not dent easily when pressed with the tip of the finger.
The fillet is the thick, flat, muscular part of the fish which remains after the bones, skin, and Internal organs are removed. Filleting of fish Is done very quickly, soon after the boats dock, the fillet portion being removed and placed on ice. The fillet is the best part of the fish, as practically all of the edible portion is contained in this part.
When It comes to cooking fish, the following methods may be used: broiling, grilling, boiling, frying, baking or stewing. Broiling and baking are good methods to use as they preserve all of the nourishing elements and do not interfere with the digestibility of the fish.
When serving fish it Is a good plan to use either canned or fresh tomatoes at the same meal, as the acid of the tomato seems to help In the digestion of the fish. Lemon seems to combine tastily with fish and may be used os a garnish.

Chapter V IIVal Douglas went up on the
bridge and watched Eddie Cavalier Jog around deck. He ran tirelessly, effortlessly. Probably would ^ ve Glenn Cunningham a good battle over a mile, she figured.
She didn’t have to be told by Mike Kelly that Cavalier was a perfect athlete. He had never smoked a cigaret In bis life. He steered clear of liquor and followed Pop Grimes' instructions to the letter.
She remembered he had taken up golf Just a year ago and already waa breaking BO. A famous pro once had called him the Ideal example of muscular co-ordination and nerves and insisted Cavalier could be playing in the National Open within two years If he wanted to concentrate on the
Val Douglas long ago had decided—In print, too—that Eddie Cavalier, with his dark, curly hair and handsome features, waa too good-looking to be a fighter. Once she had hinted that he could have been a greater riot aa a slugger Instead of the boxer he was—but that he preferred to protect hls good looks. . w J
That. In fact, waa what had started the whole feud. He had never forgiven her for that and threatened to eject her bodily himself U she tried to pay a visit to hls Pompton Lakes trainingcamp.
From her position of vantage overlooking the deck, Val Douglas smiled sardonically. Here, at least, was one training camp he couldn t pitch her out of.
» Val triad to read Cavalier's expression but the headguard he wore obscured hls features. All she could see were a pair of piercing eyes, and she didn't like the way they were being directed at Mike.
„Mlke Kelly went a good 1B5 pounds and there wasn’t an ounce of fat on him. The years had slowed him dowfi a little but he could still maneuver surprisingly wdII,
Kelly tucked hla chin behind his left shoulder and went to work. He muscled in close and worked short right to Eddie’s ribs. Ca slier jabbed him sharply twice the face but Mike let them bound off and shuffled in for more.
He swwng a heavy right but wralthllke Ca aUer weaved away, stepped Inside smartly and whistled a right cross to Kelly’s chin. Mike reeled back against the ropes and Cavalier followed him.
Hey, you’re supposed to be sparring," Pop Grimes roared, but If Ekldie Cavalier heard he gave no
He planted a savage left In Mika's midaectlon and then as Mike's guard came down he banged over a solid right that turned Kelly’s face half way around.
Doggedly, bis mouth cut, Mike hung on and tried to bring hls weight into play. Eddie rocketed a right to the heart and Mike gasped.
Val rushed over to Kelso and Grimes. “Pop, make him quit that! He’s Just letting hls spite out on poor Mike."
But Duffy Kelso waa already In the ring, breaking them up. 'Take it easy," he ordered softly. "You okay, Mike?”
"Sure,” said Hike. "Sure, I'm okay. He can hit, that boy can. Hits like a light heavy."
Val walked over to Cavaller’a comer. "You're a heel," she grated. "And I don’t think I have to tell you why."
He looked as though he were going to reply hotly to her accusation, changed hls mind and fidgeted with his gloves.

Gueetions Aad Answers (Bed Wetting)
Question: N. B. arritas; " I have a 11-year-old boy who wets the bed every night I would like It If you would tell me something to do about It. I read your questions and answers regularly, ao I hope .to see something about this in the near future.”
Answer: Bed-wetting, or enure sis, may be due to several causes. In some instances it Is due to an abnormal condition of the bladder. It may be chiefly due to habit. In the child of the nervous type it is very often the sign of an emotional difficulty, in the latter type of case the child needs regularity in’ living and peaceful surround' ings. He should be allowed plenty of sleep, should be protected from excitement and there should be no strain on the nervous system, at home, at school, or at play. Fortunately, many of these children cease to wet the bed when they reach the adolescent stage coming at the 'teen age. Punishment gen' erally does no good sdiatsoever in aiding the child to break the faikblt, and in fact, may do considerable harm. I suggest that the follow' Ing regimen be tried. Allow the child iUl the fluid such as water, milk, fruit Jules, and ao on, he desires up to 4 In the afternoon After this, give little or no fluid A t the start. It may be a good plan to try giving a salty sand wlch, such as a ham sandwich. Just before the youngster goes to bed. Set the alarm on the'clock so that the child will he aroused to void the bladder to 18 o'clock. I f the bed is wet, try setting the alarm a little earlier the next nlght.-Keep satUng tha alarm a little later os time passes. For example, try to train the. bladder to empty within 4 hours, then 4H hours, then hours and so on. Gradually the bladder will be trained to hold the urine until finally in a few months, the waking up by the alarm can be omitted altogether. I f thia does not work, then have the child eX' amlned 1^ your physician.
Duffy Kelso, spattered and smelly from paint, fixed her wlto a vindictive eye at lunch, "w e w gonna work out on the bags this afternoon and maybe spar tn rtt rounds with KeUy. Any objections?” he inquired bellgerently.
Not at aU,” she answer^ brightly. " I ’m anxious to see If hls surroundings affect hls ring disposition.” . , _ «
'I’ll try not to disappoint you," Eddie said meaningly, M d she wondered If he’d vent hls spite on Mike KeUy. That, however, might be a boomerang. Mike Kelly, after all. was a heavyweight and sUU In good condltlM dlsplte hls long absence from the riDE.
Cavalier donned Kelly's bid ring togs and they fitted him somewhat grotesquely. The shoes were a half size too large but he wore an extra pair of soxHo take up some of the slack.
Kelly was forced to wear makeshift garb. He borrowed a pali^of sneakers from a member of toe crew and cufdown the legs o f an old pair of trousers to serve as trunks. Both fighters wore heavy sweaters to protect them from the tangy ocean breezes.
Val could hardly mjppress snicker, they looked so funny, Duffy Kelso, noticing, topped her on the shoulder familiarly.
"Please, lady — cut the comics. I f he sees you enjoyin’ this tw much It'U throw him so far off he'U never get back."
WbUa Mike skipped rope to get himself warmed up Cavalier weqt to work on the light bag. Coolly, experUy he beat out a rhythmic totoo of leather on board. Faster, faster he worked until the bag be came anr Indistinct blue of motion and the noise became a flat, rolling wave that sotmded like a muffled machine gun.
Val found herself admiring the sight. Eddie lifted hls eyes from the' hag, without breaking the rhythm and noticed the rapt look on her face. As though It were a sudden, spiteful gesture he slamm^ toe bag one terrific punch and ended toe show. The gesture startled her and he smirked.

Churchill In Command Of All Britain’s Might
19
m •
A m
Foe of Germany Virtual* ly Dictator of Army, Navy and Air ’Force In Cabinet Shuffle.
By The AMoeiated Preea All toe armed might of Great
Britain became Winston Churchill's to command today.
Riding the crest of that destiny which many predict will carry bim to the poeltlon of prime- minister, the plump, pugnsclous fore of Germany finds blmoelf virtual dictator of tlie Army, Navy and A ir Force through the third Brltloh cabinet ohuffle In seven montha of war.
Last Sept. 3, Juat seven hours after war • was declared. Prime MinisUr NevlUe Chamberlain yielded to popular clamor and called Churchill from hla vocal but com-
I paratively Inaffectual place In the House of Commons to become first lord of the Admiralty.
Boos of AU War Forces Now tha new cabinet ohskeup
makes Churchill chairman of the Armed Bervlcee Committee, and thus the boos of oil war forces, in sddiUon to hU Admiralty Job.
A t 65, Churchill still ia "on the way up” in a career that has been meteoric throughout, , and brilliantly eo in a abort fovtn montha.
Most of the violent action in the war thus far has been at aea— In Ctaurchlll'a department—but it la poaalbls aloo to tract to hia growing Influenca a general hardening of Britain's attitude toward neu- trala and foe alike.
Should the 71-year-old Chamberlain retire, Britone almost certainly would dsmond that ba hogd the keys of No. 10 Downing street to CffiurchlU, to# popular peroonl- flestion of belligerent John Bull.
Arntwed Toleranee Gone There no longer Is evident that
sir of omusp^ tolerance which CThsmberlain *' displayed when he woe overheard In 1838 to ask Lady Astor:
"What is Winston up to now?” This awlft ffilft in political for
tunes has demonstrated beyond doubt Churchill's tremendous hold on th# confidence of most of his people.
For months before the war began, the pubilc had called for Chamberlain to bring back toe man with the maselve head, toe flashing blue eyes and pugnacious festures who had a reputation for daring and "getting places.”
To them It was incomprehenrible that ChurchiU, who in turn waa head of toe Admiralty, munitions minister, war aacretary and air minister in toe 1814*18 conflict, should bo on toe sldellnea.
Appolntoaent Popular With delight they heard that
"Winston Is back."It was a quarter-century since
ha had signed toe mobilisation order for toe fleet In 1814, but the enemy acroaa the channel was the aame; ChurchiU himself was toe aame, older but with the same hot Are of personality.
Boon lie waa on toe radio, telling the Germans who had . called him Britain’s chief “warmonger" that toe Britiah-French Allies in tha ^ h t until Adolf Hitler "has hda enough.”
Ha told tha empire, "It waa for Hitler to Bay when toe war would begin, but it la not for him or hie aucceasor to say when it will end."
That was the sort of thing tbs paopla wanted to bear, and toe sort of thing that ChurchiU could say well.
The Germans have heaped scorn upon him, accusing him of everything from to r sinking of tha British Uner Atoenla to profltaerlng on tha Stock Exchange.
ChurchiU knows that each enemy attack brings him Just that much closer to too prime.mlnla- tershlp.

Frankfeld said the resolution he tried to present had been adopted by s (Tommunlat meeting at Bos ton. •
It protested axslnst the Dies Committee's "unwarranted'/ search and seizure of records In Communist party headquarters at Boston.
Earlier In today's hearing Richard H. Lb wry, suspended Pittsburgh census supendsor, testified that he did not have any connection with the Communist workers school and asserted that anyone who said he did was "a damned Mar.”
Reads Diary ExtractVincent Johnson of The Pitts
burgh Post-Gsaette, Who said he attended the Pittsburgh Workers School for three months ttv 1938, testified thst he saw Lawry there several times and read an extract from a diary he had kept which' noted Lawry's presence at a meeting.
Johnson said that., "revolution was taught" at the school which he described as an "adjunct and recruiting station for the Communist party.”
Returning to the stand after Johnson completed his brief testimony. Lawry declared;
"I Just wish to deny emphatically thst I was there at that time or any other time at the 0>romunlst Workers School."
Robert E. Barker, committee Investigator, asserted that Lawry was listed as a ' director of the school, along with other persons whom Lawry Identified aa Com- munlsta. but Lawry said he never hiad authorized the use of his name.
Protests Examlaatloii As Baker conducted a long ex
amination seeking to link Lawry with Communist activities despite his vehement assertions that he was not a CTommunlat and never had been, Lawry pi^tested to Chairman Dies (D-Tex):
"I think this is an inquisition, Mr. Chairman. I think It Is terrible."
Dies ordsred the remark atriek- en from the record.

Lawry said had made him its district president at Pittsburgh prior to bis appointment as census supervisor, waa a (communist Front organization. When questioned shout that Lawry said that, so far as he knew. It was not a Communist Front group.
Denies Being ..ronununlstLawry, whose suspension from
the census job resulted from official apprehension, aroused by the DoUen testimony, that he might be a Oommunist, denied from the witness stand that he was a Communist.
He also stated that subsequent to hla appointment as a census supervisor he resigned from the IWO district presidency but still bore the name of president because his resignation bad not been acted upon.
His addresses to Communist gatherings, Lawry said, had grown out of his work as a la)x>r leader. Because of that, he declared, he had si>oken to "htindreda and hun- dreda" df meetings — including those of Catbolic and Protestant reUgleua groups.
When questioned, he acknowledged that a Llthuanlsn organization once refused use of a hall for a meeting under auspices of the International Workers Order. The meeting was held later In k-Rus- slsn hall, e said, but he did not attend and did not know whether Communist literature was distributed.

New York, April 4—(F)— Juat what is going to happen next in television Is not exactly clear, all because two ecliools of thought have developed over the question of operating standards.
One group. Including the RCA- NBC setup which la continuing Its regular telecasts In the New York ares, is interested In active public partlclpsUon In program viewing.
On the other side is the Federal Communications C o m m i s s i o n which has exreaasd itself as In favor of llmlUd public acUvity until further rsMareh xvUI have determined what is to be the ultimate eystem ■ that o f RCA-NBC which employe Imafae made up of 441 lines at 30 frames per second, or aome other, (taalrman James L. Fly, tn an NBC-MBS broadcast this wtek, stressed thst point but at tha sama time favored public participation purely from an e perimental standpoint.
Tha sttuatlon may be cleared up aonMwhat, however, at a television hearing before the commlsaion Mnoday at Washington. This hear tag was called after the commis- Biea suspended an ordar permitting limited apoosored telecasting on Sspt. I.
One difficulty seems to be within the industry itself, where engineers have expressed diverging
talons. RCA, which has bsen pioneer in ths research, favors
le method now employed la New York, Los Angeles and Schenectady, while PhUco, Dumont snd othefa have uiged delay in establishment of standards.

Leisure DiscussedtBy Home Ec. Class
"Leisure la the time In which one can do as one pleaaee.” Thta Is the theme of a discuasion on letnure that took place In Mlsa Helen Smith’s let period Home Management class.
The girls were asked how they spent their leisure time and then they gave reasons why they liked to spend their time In that way.
Movies were one of the most popular recreations of the girls. Some went to the movies two or three times a week. When ashed If they went Just beesuse there was nothing else to do, one girl, who went three times a week, replied that she went because she liked the pictures, actors or becatise she heard the picture widely advertised. Another girl mentioned that If she ssw a well known director's or producer's name connected with some picture she would go to see that picture while another girl mentioned that she could alt through almost any picture and like It.
In answer to the question "What that la educational do you get out of movies?” the glrla mentioned that It either teaches a lesson, has attlsUc coloring, good directing, or acting, and that In general there Is at least one educational point In every movie.
Hobbles were also a very popular way of spending their leisure time. One girl has a very unusual and yet very educational hobby. She collects the autographa of governors and at one time had the autographa of the governors of each of the 48 aUtes. She also collects the autographs of the Supreme Court JusUcea and at one time had a complete set of these autographs. In her collections she also has President Rooaevelt'a autograph. In answer to what good are these autographa, she explained that she can get an Idea of the person’s character by the way he replies and aenda hla autograph. One governor aent hla autograph on a penny postal card and mentioned different amounts of money he was aavlng the taxpayers by aending hla autograph on a postal card Instead of on stationery and using an envelope and postage.
Another hobby this same girl has la writing to people In foreign iands. She has been corresponding with a girl In Turkey but hasn't hea^ from her ainoe the earthquake In Turkey. The value of this hobby le that she gets the point of view of this girl on different eub- Jecta and Ufe In Turkey In general. Thla girl from Turkey writea English very welt and mentioned that the girls In Turkey dress juat aa the girls In America dress and that they do not wear the vella they are noted for.
Mary Jtllson apenda her leisure time collecting foreign dolls, while Patricia Chartler's bobby la drawing. • Helen Usupea, '40B.
H. S. World At Large
By Robert JotuMtouDebunking tbe debater#:George Dougherty's weU-lnform
ed and wtdely-publidaed group of debaters aroused the Interest of this department with their aaaem ■bly program of last week. There were several facts presented by the affirmative. In their argument that the government should control the railroads, that didn't seem jiuit right. So we aet .ouLto In- veslgate and form a rebuttal. Considering the succeas the team hea enjoyed this past season maybe we are sticking out our neck but anyway—here goes.
Disagreement number one presented Itself In tbe contention that trucks-provide faator transportation than trains.
Tha'a wrong: they're wrong. Aa far aa local shipping, goes It's true but In the long nin the trains are taster. As' for example: the New Haven’s Bullet leaves Portland. Maine, at flve o’clock In the afternoon and la at the New York plera, unloading, at live the following morning.
Our fiiveattgatlon reveals no motor truck that can do the same — unless perchance superman la behind tbe wheel.

Trucks are cheaper, they aay. Why not, we ask? They don't have to pay for upkeep of roadbeds and rails. The states attend to their transport routes.
And disagreement number two shows Itself. The affirmative said that government men could handle railroading better than thoae who are handling It now.
We aay no. After the World War (the Government handled the roads during the war you know) the American Kallwaya were In a demoralized condition. Their engines, equipment, and roadhad were all run down.
The platform implied that high achool and college graduates today don't trust railroading as a business to spend their future In, because It eeems to have nothing to offer and Isn't dependable.
Well, Sirs, a recent graduate of thla achool la now with an Eastern Railroad and Is earning more money and baa a better job than many. If not all, of the members of his particular claaa. So there.
And atUI another argument: said tbe group: the Railroads, today, are using old and unflt ^ulpment.
Say we: the Railroads, today, have not had such good equipment In twenty years. Fifty-ton freight cars and one-hundred-ton coal cars are common sights. And what about all the new streamliners ? '

Although Mancheater'a score of BH points was the fifth highest acore, num- eroua ties lowered the WIgren men to seventh' place. New Haven Hillhoiuw was the winner of the meet with 26 H points. Bulkeley of New London finished second with 14 points.
Manchester did fairly well In the meet when one considers that most of her runners and field men were new, and without the benefit of experience. Of the Manchester men competing this year, only four, Oderman, Cutter, House and Benson, were at the meet last year, when Manchester finished sixth. As last year, Manchester waa entered In eight events, but took only three places—a second In the high jump, a tie for third. In the same event, and a fourth In the eight lap relay.
All the Indivtdiinl running events were waaboiita. In the forty-five yard dash. House reached the seml-flnala but then lost out Both Benson and Atkinson, the other representatives were eliminated In the flrat heats.
Paul Finkbein took a second In his heat of the six hundred yard run, but did not place. BetuccI and Olson placed fourth and seventh respectively In their beats,
Campbell, McCann and Oderman represented M. H. S. In the kilometer, but again there was no success. Oderman, Manchester's best runner In the event, was spiked on the first lap and thus forced to fall back. Manchester CHaas R relay team of Benson House, Cutter and Atkinson, defending the first place won by last year’s runners, didn’t place. The eight lap relay brought Manchester one point when Gardner, Carney, Allen and Olson copped a fourth place.
Cutter turned In a fine performance In copping a second In the high lump, clearing 5', 6'Conly of Htllhouse took the event with a mark of 8', 10 1-4". Cutter and Benson, representing the r^ and white In the broad lump, won no points. The ahotniit, with Blow and Warren competing for Mancheater, offered no scoring either.
Manchester will travel to the University of Connecticut April VlOi to compete In the Onnectlciit Relay-meet..

Hospital Shown To Future Nurses
Girls of Manchester High who are Interested In becoming practical nurses or doctors' aaslatants were recently shown through the Manchester Memorial Hlspltal under the aUpervtaion of Dr. Harry C. Smith, to get an Idea of what they have to do and the quallflca- tlona necessary to enter the Mancheater Hospital, which la the only recognized training hospital for thla work In Connecticut.
Dr. Smith told the glrla just what their duties while In training would be, the hours of duty, courses taken, and reatrictloos. The group under the supervision of Miss Low and Mlaa Casey ware taken through tba operating room, x-ray room, laundry and the kitchen. A highlight of the trip waa a visit to the nursery, where the girls viewed the care of the children.
Mancheater Memorial Hospital la the only school In Connecticut from which glrla graduating may practice In Connecticut and the other recognised .states. Girls trained In Massachuaetta may not practice In Oonnectleut, but Manchester glrla may practice In Maa- sachusetta Trained attendants In order to accept a position In thla aUte mutt take a gtate examination similar to that of the registered nurse to receive their T. A. degree. _

Speaker Gives Seniors Advice
RepresentatiTe o f Conn. Employment Bnrean Discufliiefl Job HuntingAn excellent opportunity to help
prepare themselves for employment-seeking In the future was afforded tbe Seniors of '40B, Monday afternoon, when Mlaa Kennedy, manager of the Youth Division of the Connecticut State Employment Bureau, and- a group of trained leader aaslatants, conducted an open meeting" for tbe purpose of
Informing, registering, and Interviewing interested atudenta..
The first part of the meeting waa devoted by Miss Kennedy to dla- ciisslng the purpose of the State Employment Bureau, how to fill Out the registration cards, the method by which applicants are placed In positions, preparing for an Interview (appearance), and how to get an Interview.
The main office of the eEmploy- ment Bureau Is located at 306 Pearl street, Hartford, while Its branch office, open on Thursday afternix>ns only. Is located at the Armory In Mancheater, Sixteen other offices, all set up and operated on the same principle, are located throughout the atate. Among Its eight separate divislona are: an industrial division, commercial, service, domestic, Snd construction, divisions. Special attention la given to those physically handicapped seeking employment. The Youth Division further widens Its services by cooperating with the Department of Education.
Miss KennfKty stressed the Importance of properly filling out and maintaining a re^stratlon card, which Is freely given to any applicant. Each Individual filling out one of these cards should clearly atate exactly what type of work he Is willing to do. The card Is then flle<l under various claaalflcationa. It la absolutely necessary for each person registering with the agency renew hla registration every month.
In relating tbe method of placement employed, the speaker stated that the Employment Bureau flrat receives a call from a private employer who describes the type of position which be la offering and states the exact qualifications be expects of applicants. Hie names of nil persons meeting these qiiallflca- tlona are selected from the agency’s flies. Individuals are notified, and a discussion held to describe the offered job. They are,then referred to the employer who pronounces the final Judgment—the selected worker. Two Important facton In filling out registration c^ijtt ati (1 ) a correct address and (2) a telephone number either the Individual's cwii phone or that of a near neighbor who haa given hla permlaalon.
Mlsa Kennedy noted that a “good salesman cannot sell a poor product.” Thus, an Individual must have something to offer when he converses with'an employer. A wide-awake Individual wllf know the employer's business, will ba prepared to “sell himselT’ rather than give a hard-luck story. He will alao realize the Importance of going by himself, and not in a group.
Personal appearance la of primary Importance whan going for an Interview. Important advice offered by Mlsa Kennedy to the bojm contain the following auggea- tiona!” Never go looking for a job without a clean shirt, tie, suit coat, pressed trouaera hair should; be well groomed; remove bat upon entering room; announce purpose of visit In clear, precise manner: ait orrectly in chair; don't be nervous; have clean hands and natla; no cooking odors on clothes; don't grow muatache; don't smoke a pipe and above all, no chewing gum."
To the girls she suggested: “don't ti r to look like glamour girls; have hair nicely shampooed and combed; don't dress elaborately; wear walking aboes wUh a aenaible heel rather than saddle ahoes; have a clean neck; have nailS' and hands attractively groomed; moderate Unta of n ^ polish; moderate use of make-up; all clothing neat and clean."

don’t often noUce Bryan Hextall when the New York Rangers are playing hockey until the red light behind tJ goal flashes.’ Then, like aa not, you look up and find he was the one who scored.
That's the way It worked out during the regular National Hock-
League aeaaon, when he led circuit In goals scored, and .'orked out again last night as Rangera walloped the Toronto
Maple Leafs 6-2 for their second strright victory In the Stanley Cup playoff finals.
Hextoll la the right winger on New York's “rough house” line, which usually gets the task of checking the enemy's crack forwards and seeing that they don’t score. He plays with the colorful Phil Watson, who usually keeps the customers’ attention while he's on the Ice.
Makes Three Goals In apite of those bandlcape. Hex-
tail made himself the hero of last night’s lopsided triumph by scoring three goals, passing to Dutch Hiller for another and generally keeping the Leafs In trouble. Because of bia feats, the Rangers wUl take a twe^game lead to Toronto. where the remaining games of the bcat-of-aeven series will be played, and the Leafs were thoroughly downcast as they started home.
Toronto's hope was to hold the Blue Shirts even In New Vork, then play their favorite wide-open brand of hockey at home. But they couldn't bold the Rangers, and when they were forced to open up their defeat became a rout.
"They were too good for us,” moaned Coach Dick Irvin of the Leafs. “We couldn't hold a two- goal lead; we couldn't acore when wa had the advantage; they kept the pressure on all the time.” He didn't even think It would have made much difference If Red Horner hadn’t drawn three penalties, two of which led to three Ranger goals.
It was that unyielding pressure which made tbe difference. It squared the count after the Leafs bad tallied twice In the first six minutes; It carried the Blue Shirts through the gaps in the Toronto defense aa the Leafa opened up In vain efforts to acore; and -It led to a lot of costly penalties, too. Horner waa banished three times by his old pal. Referee King Clancy, and each offense was tripping Hextall.
Rookies Pace Leafs Tbs deciding goal came tbe sec
ond time Horner was off, after Hextall, Watson and HUler bad flaahad away from a Leaf raid for tha first Ranger tally and defenseman Babe Pratt bad fooled Turk Broda with a long shot to tie the ■core. Hextall slammed home tbe rebound of Ott Heller’s long drive. Hla third tally came early In the final period on another fast passing play with Broda down with shots and HUler and Lynn Patrick fired over him for the- last two tallies.
A couple of rookies, fast enough to get in on tbe net and flatten Dave Kerr, the briUlant Ranger natmlader. made the- two Toronto goala. BUly (The Kid) Taylor, recalled from the Pittsburgh Hornets'for last nigbt'a game, banged in the first and a minute " later Hank Goldup acored.

Tha Providenea Reds might as wall hear tha worst: BUly the Kid wlU be back in thair hair again tonight.
The Reds hold a one-game lead in their beat-of-flve final series for tha Intematlonal-American bbekey laagua diamplonsblp, but unless they can keep BUly Taylor, under control tonight they may bava lot of trouble ramalalng la front. BUly almoat upset them in tha ■arloi opener Tuaaday before John' ny Chad and Eddia Ambola got to- getbar for a last-minute goal that gave Providence a 4-8 daclaion.

Warmly ApplaudedMrs. Keith said that Mthough
she was a silent partner In the company through the years, she had taken a great interest In the progress of the business. Mrs. Keith was- warmly applauded for her line talk.

What roods WUI Ward Off Old AgeT
By Doiudd A. Laird Ph.,D., Rc4. D.
Although moat of us look forward to reaching a ripe old age, there is nothing attractive about the posalbllity of years of palsied, stiff, pain-racked decay.
There are many recent laboratory and clinical Indications that declining years can be made more vigorous and healthful by the foods eaten before old-age gets us In its grip. The foods eaten In middle llfei evdn In childhood, seem to have a gnsat deal to do with how epry we are In afterlife. •>

Didn’t BeUex-e Sign
Ottumwa, Iowa—(<P)—The sign on the safe plainly said: “This safe is not locked.’’ But that didn’t stop safe crackera from working for more than an hour before they harked open the unlocked strong box in a lumber company office. Inside were company records—but no money.
Raleigh,-N. C.—(P5—A man wrlth a long black beard and a kindly face was seen walking along a street dropping coins in parking meters Where owners had left their cars overtime. ’The stranger, withholding his name, explained that “I just hate to see people get tickets.”
Newsboy Emergency Dentist
Independence, Mo.—<45—A customer stopped Eugene Crandall, 14-year-old newspaper carrier, and handed him a pair of pliers. “Do me a favor,” he said. Five minutes later Eugene went back to his newspapers and the customer went back Into his house minus a tooth that had been aching. “He said it didn’t hurt a bit—that is, after the , fourth yank,” Eugene related.
During an annual pagan festival on the isle of Cheung Chau, off the China coast, huge jullari of bread 1ft to 22S feet high, are built. Natives believe eating a piece from one of these pillars insures them against stomach trouble for an entire year. ’The loaves are known as Shaah Paan.

'# Some faddists 'beliavs that by weeping very slender on a starva- I tion diet we shall live (longer and be healthier in old age. ’There is no scientifle justifleation for this. On the other hand, dvereating and overweight throughput ^Ilfe make old-age come more quickly.
One of the flrst rules, therefore, is moderation. Not too little, nor t(x> much.
,Other facldlsta have kept children on mere existence diets on the false notion, that retarding growth in childhood helps old age; Thie may help some laboratory rats live longer, but makes them lets vigorous and, leas playful. .Stunting during the growth period does not hblp old age.
Feed the youngsters; don't der prive them.
Another rule Is to have a wide variety of foods to play safe on getting enough precious vitamins and minerals which prepare the Ixxly for resisting the ravages of old age.
There Is no single food which will perform a miracle and act as a fountain of youth. But enough foods to keep the body well supplied with energy and flesh, plus a wide assortment to fortify with vitamins snd minerals, make old age something to look forward to.
Liking one or two foods too well, snd eating too much of them is not advisable. One-food families are likely to be phort-Ilved families. ITie housewife should develop skill to prepare a new diab each week. Her family wU en- toy the surprise and will be more llkety to enjoy old age.

MarKhukuo's Railrixxis Strengthen War Base
JAPANESE money and militar- im are building Nippon’s pup
pet state, Manchukuo, Into a powerful war base. Construction of a vast network of railroads, shown on the Manchukwwn stamp above, has been underway since Japlin assumed control of Manchuria eight years ago. More than 4000 kilometers of railroad lines have been'' built, increasing Manchu- kuo't rail mileage to 10,000 kilometers.
Most of Japan’s dreams of a continentel empire depend upon these railroads. Numerous feeder lines penetrate undeveloped agricultural and mining areas, to bring raw materials to the rapidly growing industrial centers. Four principal cities — Darien, M u k d e n , Hsinking and Harbin—are linked by double-tracked lines.
More and more Japanese Industries are being moved to .Manchukuo, closer to raw materials and markets. Technicians and skilled workers are imported.
