New York, Sept 15-Out of a
Lost World such as Coran Doyle
described into a new world of bars
and cages and staring eyes, two
great dragons Of the South Seas have
established themselves here, little
caring what happens to them as long
as they have their chickens or goats
or twenty pounds of round steak
daily.
Outside of their cage is a placard
announcing that the two forlied-
tongued monsters are "Naranus Ko-
modoensis." Which is merely the
family name of what is probably the
oldest pure-blooded race on earth to-
day. For tho armored, spike pined
reptiles, according to DR.. Raymond
l.. Ditmars, curator at the Bronx
Zoo, are Of a species that is more
than one million years Old.
The tiny lizard of the woods is a
cousin OF the new-found dragon. but
a cousin far removed. For the Giant
Monitor-anothcr name for the new
ly discovered eptiles-grows TO a
length of eight or nine feet, and has
d body thicker than a mans.
And the monitor doesn't crawl, as
does his puny relative. He runs on
his short, stubby legs and can out
distance a Nurmi or a Paddock. And
is tail is no useless appendage that
is dragged along. He can do all sorts
of damage by threshinC it--knocll

DIR. POTTER GIVES
Views ON india
Demand for Independence Di-
miniShing, Reports Minister

If Ghandi had been logical in his
railroads out of India, would have
discarded radio, sewing machines,
agricultural implements; he would
have returned to western civilization
its surgeons and surgical instru-
ments and knowledge of medicine,
according to Rev. Or. Rockwell Har-
mon Potter of Hartford, who spoke
to the members of the New Britain
Rotary club at noon today. DIR.
Potter has recently returned from a
trip to India where he spent three
months, and he told the Rotarians
his impressions of the country.
THE area of India is nearly two
thirds that of the United, States and
it houses $40 million people. three
times the population of the United
States" he said. He said the view
of Mount Everest is India's greatest
gift in nature and that 1t Tai Mahal
is its greatest gift in art. He spoke of
how the people live together In viii
lagos, packed in like sardines and
how a whole family from a baby
hanging in sling on the wall to
the great grandparents live and sleep
in one room in mud huts in villages.
Speaking of Ghandi he said:
"Ghandi is receiving today more
spiritual admiration and moral de-
votion than ever was given to any
one man during his lifetime in the
history of the world"
He spoke of Ghandi's passive
resistance" for political and econ
omic independence, and stated that
the demand for independence from
Great Bri ain seems to be diminish
ing
He said that despite Ghandi's pol
icy of stopping at the gate all
products of western industry and
civilization he would not give up the
railroads and when he got appen-
dicitis he was operated upon by a
western surgeon who used western
Instruments.
Henry Ford has brought a lot OF
comfort to travellers in India, he
stated. He said natives will buy a
Ford car, put a bus body with
capacity of 1G persons on the chassis
pack 80 people into it and go ca
reening down the road blowing their
horns all the way.
He denied that the modern mis-
sionary system is to put anything
over" on India, but said the mission
airy today is striving to give the
Indian "a chance at our best, while
they are going TO have a chance at
our cleverest" He said: They
will get our best and they are likely
TO get our meanest. There isn't
business trick ever invented either
in Scotland, Jerusalem or Connect
cut that they don't know
Through the missionary he said
India will have its part in the build
ing of a world civilization.

their tee shots SCARED over the 2l1-
yard route to the green, but Bobby
missed his first putt a 10 footer, for
Il birdie.
The tenth was halvcd in par tours.
Chick Evans sliced his drive into the
rough but Bobby was straight and
down the center. Chicks second fail
ed to bring him out of the tallsgrass,
while Bobby's approach took him to
the edge OF the green.
The Chicago veteran made n sem
sational recovery, however, tossing
his pitch dead 10 the pin. He then
sank his first putt for half.
The eleventh was also halved in
fours. Both continued to play bril-
iaNtly. Their drives were straight
and their approaches on this hole
dropped safely on the green to give
each a pair of puts for regulation
figures.
They continued the terrific pace
at the twelfth, each player once
more matching par figures with
threes. Neither apparently could
make a mistake. Their iron losses
carried over the 1S4-yard stretch
Of sand and rough straight to the
green. They then ran down their
approach-putts to within two feet
of the cup and holed out their third.
They halved the 18th in par fig
ures, both gathering in tours. Bob
hy's drive was fully 300 yards
from the Zee, while Chick was 20
yards shorter. They pitched
straight to the flag and were down
in two puts.
Par fours for both players also
were posted at the 14th after
Evans had made a marvellous re-
coVcry from the rough to plant
his ball on the green.
They also halved the 18th. where
Evans again ovcrcame Jones SUI
porior driving by tossing his mash
lie five feet from the flag. He re-
quired two puts, however, both
going down in fours.
Jones became three up at the
1G7-yard 10th where his iron shot
was short and in the rough Bob
by was Is feet over the pin. Chick
pitched on with his second and
then took two puts. Bobby was
down in par three.
The 18th hole was halved IN
fives. Bobby hooked into a bunker
from the tee. while Evans clouted
his drive straight down the center.
Bobby was barely out of the trap
with his second and his third
dropped into a trap near the
Srccn. Evans was on with his third
but Bobby pitched cleverly out of
the trap and then holed a 15-foot-
or 10 get his half.
With Jones up coming to the
18th tee, Evans brought off
birdie four on the home hole TO
cut one hole off the, champions
advantage.
Both got away good drives, but
Jones second was in a deep sand
pit, while Chick lofted his ap-
proach TO the edge of the green.
Robby's recovery left him 40 yards
from tho flag and he needed his
two puts for par five, while Chick
pushed his approach putt right up
to the fiag and holed out in four.

ADMITS AIDING IN
MURDERER'S Flight
But CurCiO Insists He Had Not
Learned Of Crime

Frank Curcia, aged 81, of 80 Lo-'
Gust street owner OF the mystery
truck" which conveyed Cezare Bar
bcri, murderer of Carmelo Tiralon-
go from the home of Carmelo Bon
giovanni at Sc Beaver street, this
city, to Brooklyn, n. Y, on the
night of September S, told the po-
lice OF this city and Hartford late
yesterday that he believes he left
the Beaver street home about 8
o'clock and arrived in Brooklyn at
daybreak, thus settling definitely
the question as to whether the local
police would have had time to ap-
prehend Barberi before he left New
Britain, had the Hartford police
notified the local authorities of the
murder.
Ignorant of Murder
According to Curcio. he was
asked by Vincenzo Luppino, aged
81, OF 315 Arch street, to drive a
party to Brooklyn. Curcio has a
light delivery truck, which he uses
TO deliver the products of the Hos
tess Cake Co. Of Hoboken, n. j.,
Labor Day, which was the day fol-
lowing the murder, he agreed to
make the trip for SIS. He insisted,
and the police say they believe him,
+ that he did not know Barberi was
wanted for murder nor did he know
that there had been a fight of any
sort until the party had almost
reached New York.
He drove the truck and the pas
sengers included Bongiovanni. Bar
! beri and two other men. Arriving
/ in New York, Curcio wanted to
/ leave the others but they urged him
to continue to Brooklyn and he fol-
/ lowed their directions until a house
! He returned soon after leaving Bar
beri there and on arriving in New
Britain, he learned Of the murder in
Hartford and realized he had aided
Barbcri to escape,
For a time he considered notify
ing the police he had driven the
truck, but on second thought he
feared he might be implicated, so he
decided to remain quiet and If the
| police learned Of his part in the es-
cape, he would make a clean breast
of it and take his chances. He has
not been away from New Britain,
he said, and almost daily he eX-
peCted a visit from the police.
McCuc's Hunch Was Right
Yesterday afternoon, the Hartford
police obtained from Bongiovanni in
formation that indicated that the
| belief of Detective Sergeant McCue
of this city that the truck was in
| New Britain, was correct. Sergeants
Madigan and Gallchio, accompanied
/ by Hartford attorney, came here
yesterday and assisted by SerEeants
McCue and O'Mara and Officer
Feeney rounded up Luppino at
Russell & Erwin's factory. He told
them he had engaged Curcio at
Bongiovanni's solicitation.
The police then went to Curcio's
home but he was not there. Soon
after their arrival, however, he was
seen driving his truck and was
stopped. He admitted his part in
the escape. About 6 o'clock last
evening he and Luppino Wee taken
to Hartford and after they told their
story to Prosecuting Attorney Franz
j. Carlson, they were released. They
will probably be witnesses in the
| Barberi murder case. The truck Is
being held by the Hartford authori-
