Mayor Quigley Reveals Int e nt to Appoint Committee of Citizens to Study Absorbing Part of Newington Territory.
Residents of Suburb Said to Be in Favor of New Britain Taking Over Part of Adjoining Town City Called Congested by Chief Executive.

Mayor Quigley announced today that he contemplates appointment of a citizens committee of bankers manufacturers and other business and civic leaders to inquire into an- nexing the Maple Hill and Elm Hill districts of the town of Newington, to establish a Great New Britain and in view of the sentiment which he has learned on the part of resi- dents of the two sections, he intends to have action taken towards carry ing the project to a successful con- clusion.
 William Winters and Harry H. Howard were in conference with the mayor at different times yesterday and today both are heartily in favor of annexation. They said the senti- ment in Maple Hill and Elm Hill is favorable as a whole and the resi- dents would welcome a conference between their committee and one representing New Britain so that progress might be made in time to bring the project before the general assembly at the coming session through the charter revision com mittee
 Believes City is Congested Mayor Quigley considers New Brit ain one of the most congested cities in Connecticut and feels that it would be of great advantage from the standpoint of future development to | TT, a lyo ho olo Elm Hill sections. There are s,s1o acres within the boundaries of New Britain, of which approximately l. l 900 acres are occupied for park pur- poses, 1,500 acres of streets, approxi- | mately 500 acres of cemeteries, school grounds, playgrounds and the | like, approximately 1000 acres of | rocky and swampy land which is un- l fit to build upon, leaving about 4,000 acres for other occupancy.
 New Britain is built up close to it's boundaries, the mayor pointed out. and it is reasonable to expect that there will be need for further de- velopment. In the entire town of Newington there are S,794 acres but ! only a percentage is included in the sections which he favors annexing. Residents of Maple Hill and Elm Hill have their interests in New Britain, the great majority of them being em- ployed here and to all intents and purposes they are New Britalnites except that they make their homes beyond the city limits, the mayor said.

Hoover Special Train En Route to Kings Mountain, s. C., Oct. P}- Happy over the reception accorded him in Boston, President Hoover was journeying southward today to wind up his extensive speaking tour with a long contemplated address at the Sesquicentennial celebration of the Revolutionary war battle of Kings Mountain.
 There, in a natural amphitheater, the president and Mrs. Hoover were to join thousands of Carolinians late in the day in commemorating with pageantry and oratory the battle of October '. 17S0between the Ameri- can militia under Col. James Will Hams and force of British and Loyalists under Lieut. Col. Patrick Ferguson. The American victory on that occasion was regarded by many historians as the turning point of the war. AS in Boston, where he made two speeches in four hours and was swished about the city through cheering crowds in a fashion that recalled campaign days, another busy round of activity was arranged for the presidents last day away (Continued on Page 10)

English Paper Blames Air Officers
 For Rushing R-l0l Flight to India

Bedford, England Oct. ' P)- With the caption, indictment" an editorial appearing in a local news paper, the Bedford Record, today as serted that the disaster to the R-101, which cost the lives of so many residents of this region need not and ought not to have happened.
 The paper declared that she was sent on her long hazardous flight before having been properly tested, with one engine out of order, just after she had shown a tendency to dip at the nose and with weather conditions unfavorable to the flight.
 Our brave men were sacrif1cd to improvidence if not even to improv- isation,' concludes the article. Who did it?"
 The Record, which is the mid

weekly of the Bedfordshire Times, says that first accounts of the dis aster "confirm in cruel fashion the worst forbodings of many who watched with anxious interest the all too rapid execution of her altera- tions and all too casual preparations afterward for her flight. Let there be no mistake about this. The one point which struck the casual and ignorant observer when the R-101 returned from her inadequate test was the dip at the nose"
 The newspaper comments on the airship's behavior as she got away, her low flying and apparent sluggish ness. Why did they let her go? They knew she was dipping at the nose, and they knew as the man in the street did not, that that spelled danger"

 Wild scenes were presented on all sides in this staid, old Massachusetts capital city as it turned over it's great facilities and it's heart to the visitors from every section of the country. Bombs were bursting all about on the streets during the morning, afternoon and night while impromptu parades sprung up on all most every street corner. Buddies who had not seen each other since the stirring days of 1918, greeted zach other with an exuberance that explained better than words the strong bond of friendship sealed by Service during the World War.

Be- sides the 1000 who had come here to attend the four days of the conven- 1ion, all day long parties from the railroad stations and other groups who arrived by automobile, kept ar riving and signing up on the swelling lists of Connecticut Legionnaires here for the festivities.

Men to Pas Given Point in City.

Boston, Oct ' P-seventy thou sand marching men, who trod the muddy roads of war a dozen years ago, marched in gay parade today through streets where once the can- non of another war roared.
 Perhaps to the. boys of the American Legion, as they swung along today, their heads high, their faces gleaming with the memories of IS, there was little thought for the boys of '76. But, about them as they stepped briskly through the streets of historic old Boston, there was much to remind them of the men who fired the first shots for the liberty for which they fought nearly B century and a half later.
 Pass Historic Scenes
 Past old Boston common, which echoed to the impassioned cries of revolutionary orators, over Beacon Hill and down the hill beside the weather stained walls of Kings chapel, where the soldiers of Great Britain worshipped; they marched today, surrounded by the ghosts of the past.
 They swung beneath victory asch that turned their faces toward Faneuil Hall Cradle of Liberty" and trod the spot where British rifles cracked in the Boston massacre" {" The rampant unicorns of the old state house from whose balcony the declaration of independence was read to the populace, gazed down upon them as they passed, as they have gazed upon the marching of every war in the country's history.
 In unbroken array, eight abreast, the men of the Legion marched in what their officers said was the greatest parade of World war vet erans-a greater array than gather ed in one marching unit even during wartime days. From 10 o'clock, when the first units got under way, ihere was no letup through the day and darkness was expected to fall as Ihe last rank reached the end.
 Parade Ends Before Start
 They were there from Alaska to Panama. from Maine to the Philip pines, 6 scattering few from those distant points, regiment or more from nearby states. At g o'clock this morning they began to form and the first to start had reached the end of the five-mile route before many of the delegations had gathered at their starting points.
 At their head, as grand marshal, was Paul V. McNutt of Indiana, past national commander; Major General Clarence R. Edwards of Massachusetts, wartime commander of the 18th Yankee" division from New England, honorary grand mar shal, and William H. Griffin of Mass schusetts, past department com

 Gunthersville, Ala, Oct. ' LP - Twelve Marshall county citizens con- sidering killing which occurred be- fore most of them were born, today deliberated upon the fate of James F. Nicely, 70, accused of murder for the fatal beating in 1883 of Hiram Cooley in a fist fight.
 Testimony and arguments in the trial were completed in half a day, with the jury taking the case early last night and retiring before starting deliberations.
 Two of the states witnesses, one brother of Hiram Cooley, were present at the fight in 1883. Nicely was the only witness.
 Speaking in a voice that was so low the jury had to bend forward to hear> Nicely, told a simple and dra- matic story of his fight with Cooley, pleading that he fought only in self defense after Cooley himself had made the rendezvous to settle the trouble between them"
 Neely said the fight started when Cooley attempted to hit him with a hoe handle and that they fought with hands and fists for several minutes before Cooley attacked him with knife, stabbing him in the right hand and right hip.
 Cooley fell," Neely explained, "and when I left the scene I did not know he was hurt"
