TRANSFER INVALID
 BECAUSE OF FRAUD
Judge Orders New Britain Real
 Estate Transaction Yoidd

The transfer of real estate located on Church street by Peter Osteika and Joseph Bruzauskas to Joseph Balchunas was ordered invalidated In superior court yesterday by Judge John Rufus Booth and judgment was rendered for the plaintiff At torney Israel Nair, trustee in the bankruptcy matter to recover costs
 The case attracted considerable attention last fall when it was all leged that the defendants made the transfer in an effort to defraud their creditors. The defendants were in- solvent and indebted to large num- Der of creditors and in an effort to conceal their property transferred It to Joseph Balchunas. one of their creditors. it was alleged. In making his decision. Judge Booth stated that the defendants interest ip making the transfer was to secure to Bal chunas> their indebtedness to him and to conceal the property from all other creditors: that Balchunas had Knowledge that Osteika and Bru- zauskas were indebted and took the conveyance only as security with an oral understanding and agreement that the property should be held by him until such time as Osteika and Bruzauskas should pay him their existing indebtedness. In such case, the transfer was not more than . mortgage-a security for the ad- vancement made by Balchunas. It was not valid. however, the judge said. and the transfer was set aside.
 In an accompanying case brought by Mrs. Josephine Bruzauskas on notes. Judge Booth rendered judg- ment for the plaintiff as against the same defendants to recover s3.373 and costs. Mrs. Bruzauskas claimed she had loaned the money at a time when the defendants were owners of retail shoe store, for the pur- pose of carrying on the business. The firm of Hungerford & Sake repre- sented the plaintiffs in both actions.

SPEECH RESPONSE
PLEASES HOOVER
Flood of CongratuIatory Mes.
sageS Pours Into White
House From Nation.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.

President Hoover today was highly
pleased at the early response to the
speech he made yesterday at the As
ISOLATED Press luncheon in New York, in
which he so strongly and feelingly ap-
pealed to the Nation for the enforce
ment OF and obedience to the laws of
this country.
Although it was too soon to measure
definitely the far-reaching impression
OF the speech. the first public address
he has made since becoming President,
the quantity of kilograms and other
messages OF cOngratulation received at
the White House last night and today
we're sufficient to indicate that Mr..
Hoover had struck responsive chord
and that his words had been well re-
ceiVed generally throughout the land.
All Sections Send Praise.
These congratulatory messages were
not confined to any one section of the
country or to any class of individuals.
They came from strangers as well as
friends. While the President referred
to the enforcement of the prohibition
laws as being only incidental to the
whole subject of law enforcement, mes
sages of commendation were received by
him from dry leaders and from some
classed as vets because of their advo-
cacy of liberalization of the liquor
enforcement laws.
These evidences of approval continued
today when the President entered upon
MS schedule of engagements. The

ARMY AVIATOR AWARDED
HONOR FOR ACT OF VAL OR
War Secretary Delivers to Lieut.
Emf $500 Cash, Bronze Plaque
and Merit Certificate.

Formal presentation to Lieut.. Uzall
c. Emf, Army Air Corps, of the Cheney
award for the outstanding act of valor
and self-sacrifice on the part OF an
Air Corps officer in 1928 was made
by Secretary of War Good yesterday
afternoon.
The award consists of $500 in cash, a
bronze plaque and a certificate OF
award. The award was made as
result of Lieut.. Ent's effort to rescue
the pilot of an Army balloon entered
in the national elimination balloon
race, which started from Pittsburgh last
May.
The balloon in which Lieut.. Emf was
observer was struck by lightning. and
the pilot, Lieut. Paul Evert, was in
stantly killed. Not knowing that his
companion was dead, Lieut.. Ent,
although temporarily paralyzed, strug..
gled to bring the balloon to the ground
when he might have escaped by jump
ing with his parachute.

Clash With Police, Breaking Up

ty-nine strikers were under charges

with policemen, which brought the
textile mill strike here to a climax

Special deputy Sheriffs swung pistol
butts and blackjackS vigorously to halt
an unlicensed parade organized in vio-

charges ranging from blocking the side

broke up the parade, but Legette

a deputy sheriff as he entered the strike

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

In saving yesterday that the enforce
ment of the law is 1.-The dominant issue
before the American people" President
Hoover used word not In It's strict
or ordinary political meaning. Law en-
forcement Is not an issue that diviues
parties. All parties, all sections OF the
country. write it In their platforms and
emblazon it on their banners. Yet the
President was accurate and justified in
maintaining that the prevalence OF
crime in this country is national dis.
grace and a cause for deep national
concern. Happily. Mr.. Hoover's sense
of proportion and balance prevented
him from making the enforcement OF
the prohibition law the tombstone OF
integrity. He saw the problem OF Amer
lean criminality steadily and saw II
whole. Crimes connected with prohlbl-
ton are but a minor part OF the total.
He asserted his determination to APP
point with care and deliberatlon
crime commission of the very highest
competence and caliber. 1t is long
and arduous task which he is to lay,
in the first place, upon his crime COM
mission. But the country will feel all
the time that the President is headed
in the right direction.
Most timely and reassurlng is ms
statement that he will not permit Fed
eral agents to violate one law in order
to secure possible convictions for VIOLA
ton of another.

BALTIMORE SUN.

Mr. Hoover will find dissent in no
quarter to the general tenor Of his ap-
peal. He will find, however, grave doubt
as to whether militant public senti-
ment for law observance can be aroused
when almost the whole attention of the
Government is concentrated on efforts
to make one particular law effective,
and when he tries. to ignore the fact
that this law runs counter to the habits:
morals and sentiment of SO large a pro-
portion OF the American people. The
President has opportunity to bring some
sort OF order out Of the present chaos by
having his proposed survey of law en-
forcement directed to the question
whether the eighteenth amendment and
the Volstead act are devised to pro-
mote the cause of temperance, whether
they have imposed any impossible task
upon the Government and whether the
conditions for which they are respon-
sible do not justify resort to some other
method Of approach to the ends they
seek.

PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER.

The President dispels one Illusion,
altogether too commonly held, that the
term law enforcement applies mainly
to prohibition. 1t Is evident that In
this address the President is LAYING
the groundwork for practical action.
He viii soon appoint his commission
to investigate existing agencies OF en-
forcement and to reorganiZe the Federal
system in such manner as to elimi-
nate its weaknesses. There will be
nothing sensational about the move
ment for reform. Il will be carried out
week by week, month by month and
year by year until the day comes when
the criminal will no Longer be ac-
corded more sympathy than the family
of the man he has robbed or murdered.
But everybody will agree with MIR
Hoover that we are no wactually con-
fronted by national necessity OF the
first degree-that Of stamping out law
lcssness in this country.

The Presidents summary of the car
reminder, however, of the legal axiom
that they who seek equity must do
equity. The bootlegger does not expect
protection of law from the hijacker. It
is curious paradox, though, that the
citizen who patronizes the bootlegger
and so doing makes the latter's exist
ence possible counts on forces of law to
guard him against highwaymen, bur-
glars. embezzlers and thieves. The
President is at pains to point out that
penalties directly traceable to the
eighteenth amendment, while they have
increased the apparent sum total of Of
lenses, constitute the bone segments Of
the problem.

A quotation from Lincon on "Rever-
ence for the Laws was the natural
climax and conclusion Of Mr.. Hoover's
speech yesterday, for not since the
famous second INAUGURAL address has
the President spoken to the people on
a problem of domestic policy more pas
sionately. No orthodox quaker was
speaking and no hard-boiled engineer
A spirit moved the Quaker and he be-
came a crusader. There is no possible
misunderstanding of his mood and his
intention.
