 The committee will study the question as it concerns all busieess and educational organizations which have distributed material in the schools rather than contining itself to particular power interests and utilities. A report will be prepared on what machinery. if any, needs to be set up on local or state ba- sis to serve as protection to in- dividual school teachers and officers.
 The National Education associa- ton has completed recently a report on the curriculum in the public schools. They published four year. books on curriculum study and the report has resulted in the present interest in the development of bet ter courses of study for the public schools.

 None of them had heard of the disaster 10 the Vestris until the, landed. Realizing the anxiety of relatives who were unaware that the men were not aboard the Vestris, the authorities passed them through the custom formalities quickly and a.- lowed them to hurry home.
 Affecting scenes were witnessed at the Lamport and Holt office today when the wives of members Of the Festris' crew, many carrying babies. made anxious inquiries regarding the fate of their husbands. Mrs. Carey, wife of Captain w. J. Carey. in com mand of the Vestris. waited all night in the hope Of hearing some definite information regarding the rescue ef- forts and the fate of her husband.
 It was believed here that the radio operator aboard the ship, whose calls for aid brought rescue vessels at top speed to the scene of the sinking. was making his first voy- age.

 morning that Detective Sergeant /. Henry Johnson of the Waterbury police who has been active in the investigation of the case threatened him in 1925. Leopold testified this morning that after he had made a purchase of q piece of property at that time Johnson met him and had remarked that he was always get ting ahead of him and he further testified that Sel- a Johnson had continued by saying: "Ill get even with you some day. Leopold"
 The accused said it was said in the Waldorf Lunch and that the de- tective had started the statement with an oath.
 Leopold claimed that he only laughed at the time and did not pay much attention to the statement .t the detective. He also claims that in 1927 he had further trouble with Sergeant Johnson but could net give the exact words of what took place.
 Leopold stated that at the time of the Baldwin street fir, on Feb ruary $, which resulted in the loss Of three lives that he had $l0,73O insurance on the building and $3.- 900 on the furniture stored in the building.

FORTY DAYS IN JAIL
 FOR RECKLESS DRIVER
Previous Suspended Sen. tence Added to Penalty
 of One Month

Pleading guilty 10 the charge of reckless driving on Washington street the night of November 8. Lawrence Unwin, aged 33, of 39 Whiting street. was sentenced to Jail for 30 days and had the sus- pension of a previous sentence of 10 days revoked by Judge NJ. D. Sake in police court today. on rec ommendation of Prosecuting Attor- ney J. c. Woods.
 On the night in question, Unwin was driving a car on Washington street and figured in an accident with a car owned by a New Haven resident. Mr. Woods said. He was arrested on the charge of driving while under the influence of liouor. but there was reason 10 believe that the shock of the crash affected him ln such a way as to give the police the impression that. he was unfit to drive. Tt is border line case" NIT. Woods said. and for that req son he changed the charge to reck less driving. for If he had proven the charge of driving while under the influence of liquor. a jail sen- tence of six months would have been imposed because Unwin was convicted once before on that charge.
 Attorney David L. Nair. repre- senting Unwin. said the recommen- dalton was acceptable. As in most cases of this kind. the attorney said. the innocent wife and children of the offenders will be the sufferers. Unwin is an automobile salesman n and Is said to have admitted that he had been drinking the night of the accident.

 The people of the threatened commune of Nunziata were still dis consulate over the burying by the lava of their cemetery which they shared with the destroyed town of Mascali. They regarded as horrible and profane the flow of lava over the ground where their dead rested.
