SEP PARATE TRIAL GIVEN SCHRAGER
Brophy Case to Begin Before
 Three Judges April 1
LOCAL YOUTH TO BENEFIT|
New Britain Defendant In Murder Case May Face Lesser Charge Waterbury Man Chats with Friend Throughout Proceedings.
Especial to ihe Hera1d1


 Hartford, March 11-A move which is interpreted as auguring well for Henry Schrager of New Britain was made in superior court today by States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn when he obtained an order from Judge Newell s. Jennings for a separate trial in the case of John Brophy of Waterbury. Brophy pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder in the first degrec and by agreement between his counsel, At torncy John F. Tobin of Waterbury, and States Attorney Alcorn, the trial was set for Tuesday, April l, three weeks from today.
 Brophy Apparently Unworried
 Brophy, smiling and apparently unWorried, was brought from Hart ford county jail, but Schrager was not in court, although Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg of New Britain, who represents him, had been noti- fled by the states attorneys office to be on hand. Attorney Ginsburg spoke to States Attorney Alcorn about Schrager, but was unable to obtain any information as to the plans of the state with reference to the deformed youth from the Hard ware City who was in Dr. w. T. Morrisseys automobile when Of ficer James McNamee of Bristol was shot to death in front of a Forestvile gasoline station the night of January 1G.
 Attorney Tobin was appointed guardian ad litem of Brophy and elected trial by court instead of jury. Judge Jennings asked States Attorney Alcorn about the proceed ure, being unfamiliar with it, he said, and was informed that it was for him to communicate with the chief justice of the supreme court of Connecticut, who will assign two judges to sit with Judge Jennings on the case.
 Brophy gave his age as 20 years when presented. While sitting in the prisoners pen he talked constantly
 
 and apparently was more interested in the spectators than in the pro- ceedings going on before him. He was brought back to the jail short ly after the trial date was set With Attorney Tobin before Brophy was presented, was Attorney Charles II. Bauby of Waterbury, and it is un- derstood he will be associated with Attorney Tobin during the trial.
 Reason Not Disclosed
 Although the states attorneys of flee would not disclose the reason for putting Brophy on trial alone, it was said about the corridors of the county building that Schrager may be the star witness for the state. It is known that Brophy and Schrager were in Dr. Morrissey's car. which Schrager has admitted having stolen in front of the owners home on

 Witnesses said Patrolman Josooh J. Scott was at St. Nicholas avenue and 1S5th street on the upper west side when he saw a large car ap- preaching at a high rate of speed. He stepped into the roadway and signalled the driver to stop. With out slackening speed the motori,t veered the car toward the police man, running him down.
 The officers body was caught on the bumper, the driver swung the car across the street after dragging Scott 90 feet and with jerk of the steering wheel threw the policeman clear and sped away.
 Patrolman John Sullivan, who saw the unusual maneuvering of the car, but did not know Scott had been hit, sgnalled the car to stop when it sped by him two blocks away from the scene of the acci- dent. He fired a shot through tn. windshield and then chased the fugitive car on the running board of q taNicab. After pursuit through ' lower Harlem and the upper east side he lost tho trail

Natural Causes

nUT though Stain remained
d within somewhat conventional
limitations and said nothing start
ling. he did echo a MARKHAM concept
which should be brought every now
and again to the attention OF Com
munists in al lands.
I am well aware of the fact that
something Of great import is stirring
in Russia. There may be argument
as to whether this experiment
ultimately will be for the good or Ill
of mankind. But in either case it
is not movement to be laughed
out of court.
Ever since the beginning steao-
tasty maintained that the phil
osophy of Communism deserved q
fair hearing in every country.
1 have no sympathy with the
many severe penalties which have
been placed upon propagandists
here and elsewhere. Neither the be-
lief in this economic theory nor the
articulate expression Of that belief
merits arrest and imprisonment.
But I would call to the attention
of left wing Americans the state
ment Of the man to whom they pro-
fesS complete and unquestioning
allegiance.
He is quoted by Mr.. Duranty as
saying: Propaganda doesn't do any,
thing. Constitutions and systems are

Another Young Plan

Closer American cooperation with the rest of the
world was stressed as an economic necessity by owen
D. Young in his notable New York address Wednes-
day, Newton D. Baker made the same appeal last

1t is significant that two such outstanding men
in the Democratic party should be arriving indie
pendently at tho same conclusion at the same time.
Their emphasis on the international aspects of
Americas economic problem, and the solution Of
that problem is all the striking because of its
sharp contrast 10 the isolationist end higher tariff
quackery OF the Republican old guard.
The immediate task of the nation is to provide
emergency relief for the unemployed. But over the
