ETERNAL CITY NOW 2676
 YEARS OLD AND CELEBRATES
Observation Featured By National Nlilitiamen Taking solemn
 Oath of EasciSm

Rome, April 21. tBy Associated Press)--The celebration today of Rome's 2.S76th birthday was perhaps the most solemn in the long history of the Eeternal City.
 Premier Mussolini promulgated a decree establishing April 21 as labor day instead of May 1, and thus the traditional date of the city's founda- ton becomes a national holiday
 A leading feature of the ceremony was the administration of the fascista cath to the national militia as the troops in hundred Italian cities were reviewed by the black shirt leaders and by the chiefs of the army and navy. In this city the premier him. self and Gen. Debono reviewed the phalanxes.
 A special tribune was erected for bers of the diplomatic corps, in which Ambassador Child and his wife had reserved places. When Premier appeared the militiamen sa- luted by extending their right arms in the ancient Roman fashion and took a solemn oath of absolute loyalty to the nation and to the iron discipline of fascism. The oath was dictated to them by the commander of the Ro- man legion who was stationed in captive balloon.

Professors of Law School Object to Restrictions and Their Protest Is Heeded-yaccination Again Subject of Debate.
BY CLARENCE G. WILLARD.
 (Special to The Herald).


 Hartford, April 2i.--While it was announced by Senator Els and Major Buckley in their respective houses some weeks ago that the legislature would recess on May for two weeks and then return to take up matters which the governor might fail to approve for final adjournment, it for the legislature to stay in session at least until May before taking such recess. There are several req sons for this, not the least of which is the judgeship appointments by the governor which were long delayed be- cause of the failure of the bill pro- viding for the two extra judgeships to reach him in the legislative pro- cedure which it has to go through. This bill has now reached him, but tho nominations have to remain on the calendar for three days, then go to the other house, then to the ju- dietary committee and come back with a favorable report before the houses can ballot on them and con- firm them. The confirmation, of course. is matter of form, because judgeshjps have not been turned down in recent years, but the legisla- tion takes tieie and with the other business which is coming in. itcG is doubtful if the recess can be taken

Is Followed by Cashier, Who Also Tells Police He Has Been Taking Money for Four Years.
EACH HAD STOLEN,
 UNKNOWN TO OTHER

Ransom, vice president startled the sheriff's office by volun- tarily appearing and announcing that for nearly five years he had appro- priated to his own use funds belong ing to the institution.
 Kcrby Admits $I0.OO0
 Kerby estimated. according to the sherif-s office that his speculaticns extending over period of four years. would not exceed s1o,0oo. The amount of Ransom's shortage has not been definitely established although he declared securities in his possession would yield between s22,000 and $So,- 900 and cover the amount.
 Men Not In Collision
 There was no connivance between the two bank officials. they asserted. Both declared they appropriated tho funds for investment in projects they believed would net them considerable gain. e$
 Their method, according to their confessions. was to credit deposits by patrons in the passDooks but not on the books of the bank. When with drawals were made by customers whose deposits had not been properly recorded, amounts necessary to meet the withdrawals would be transferred from the account Of a larger deposit or. This necessitated the mainte- nance by Kerby and Ransom of . de- tailed record of each transaction. 10th said they followed this practice for more than four years
 To determine the exact shortage it was said all depositors passbooks will have to be called in for checking against the bank records.
