overcrowded that it is proposed, penang
the enlargement of the main library,
to move the book acquisition and cata~
loging departments and the book bind

pose of putting up a library building
on the site already purchased on the

The Northeastern branch library will
be the first library building to be pro-

REDS SAY FRENCH
 OPPOSE PROGRAM
Prayda Charges Active Military
 Plans Against U. s. s. R.

Moscow, Oct. 2S LP) = Pravda, communist newspaper, in an editor ial today accused France of respon- sibility for an anti-dumping cam paign which follows its recent heavy shipments of wheat to foreign ports.
 The newspaper declares France is the center of all anti-Soviet mach nations, where the program is "directed toward creating an anti Soviet bloc of all countries border ing on Soviet Russia from the Baltic to the Black Sea. The editorial says France is utilizing all aggressive clements available in these coun- tries.
 The newspaper further declares that French diplomats are working with the French general staff and that the chiefs of the latter are the actual leaders of the armed powers of Poland and Rumania.
 French diplomacy, Pravda charg- es, has used the League of Nations as center of anti-Soviet schemes. That almost all of the negotiations led by Foreign Minister Briand and aided by representatives of other capitalistic countries "have ended in some anti-Soviet project or an at tempt to attract new participants to the organized anti-Soviet bloc"
 Will Retaliatc
 The laboring masses of the Soviet Union have approved the decision of the government to retaliatc against countries which attempt to obstruct trade with Russia, the newspaper asserts, and have ex- pressed readiness to use all their eff forts to strengthen the defense of the Soviet Union and offset any at tempted intervention by information al imperialism"
 That foes of the Soviet outside also are giving aid to counter-revo- lutionaries in Russia, is another charge contained in the editorial. The editor continues that these plot ters are "even offering military in tervention. It has been proved that the counter-revolutionary activities among our engineers and the de- . structive work of the kuIaks, or wealthy peasants, has been inspired from abroad"

 FOR LIFE OF NUN
French Actress Tires Of False
 Joys" Of Stardom
BY MINOTT SAUNDERS

Paris, Oct. 2S - Tired of the false joys of success and popu- larity, Mile. Yvonnc Hautin, young and pretty actress of the Comedie- Francaise, has decided to abandon her career and will shortly enter a convent. Her colleagues of the celebrated national theater were amazed at her announcement. when her fame seemed assured, but a scrutiny of her private life revealed that she had always been religious and that the step was not taken hastily.
 No member of the company of the venerable Comedie- Francaisc has renounced the stage for holy orders for more than 200 years. Mile. Hautins decision was almost as surprising as the similar step taken in the 18th century by Mile Gauthier, who then astonished the court, her admirers and her friends.
 Leaving World of Make Believe
 "Please do not have pity on me-" Mile. Hautin told her col leagues. T feel that l have found my vocation at last and l am leav- ing the world of make believe without a single regret I am so happy to have found peace"
 There were many, she said, who had begged her to consider the pleasure that talented actress can give to the theater- going pub lie. They declared that her career already was one Of unselfsh serv- ice, and that her good work reach ed a far greater number of per sons than the ministrations of a nun.
 But their pleas were in vain The actress pointed out that her new life would mean to her and to others a far more tangibl; service. She would come into con. tact with those who really neede1 ] help-a far different class than i.

 When Mile. Hautin, who now is %, left the Conservatoire, a bril- liant future was prophesied for her, but during the few months prior to her retirement she be- came more and more detached. She made pilgrimages 10 Lourdes and accompanied the Little Sisters of the Poor on their visits to the sick in outlying districts.
 While she was touring with a company in Egypt last year, she and several of her colleagues were stopped in the street by a fakir who foretold that one of their number would retire into monastic life within year.
 No crisis and no exterior incl dent influenced me-" she said, however. T come from reli- gious family; two of my aunts are nuns and a cousin is a priest.

last evening at Community hall was a most gratifying success, exceeding all expectations. Although the re- turns are not all in, it is believed that approximately $50 will be re- l alized on the show. The splendid CO., operation of Troop f from New Brit ain, the team of the Scott brothers from the New Britain Y. NJ. C. A., and the magic act of Louis Schwartz all tended 10 make most unusual and pleasing program.
 Demonstrations in first aid, fire lighting by friction, and semaphore signalling were given by Troop 4. Those taking part in this were Eagle i Scouts Raymond Mainer, Leon Dick inson, and Richard Hube and Scout master kermet E. Parker.
 The trumpet band of Troop 4 was 1 the feature of the evening. This ! band. which is mparatirely new organization, performed with the | ease and finish of experienced bandsmen. The group presented a | spectacular appearance with their long trumpets and banners. The band is under the direction of | Drum Major K. E. Parker.
 Magic and illusions were pre- sented by Louis Schwartz. who had as his assistant young Buddie Strickland. Schwartz is always a popular performer here and both young and old enjoyed the myster- ies of magic and legerdemain pre- sented as only d master magician can present them.
 The Scott brothers gave an act in tumbling and hand balancing that was as good as any act on the vau- l deville stage. Some of their feats were startling and a few have sell dom if ever been attempted on the | stage because of the danger Of in l jury. The performers seemed to have no fear or doubt but that they could achieve the most difficult | feats.
 A feature not on the program was the side show of wild animals and freaks. The animals were kept in cages in the banquet hall.
 The master of ceremonies for the evening was Richard Walsh. assist ant to Scoutmaster F.. E. Wilson.

Los Angeles. July 10 tP-The dis trict attorneys office planned an in- vestigation today of statements by three policemen that they had ques- toned and released Fred Forsytha, wanted for the staying in Chicago of Alfred Lingle.
 Ed o. King, investigator, said the policemen entered the apartment of Frank Foster. indicted for the Lingie staying, a week before his arrest, and found Forsythe and others present.
 The policemen reported, King sail, that they confiscated three guns found in the apartment, which they searched for liquor, but returned ths arms, seeing 10 basis for charges.
 The officers said Forsythe ac- tempted to give them s200 after they had taken the guns. The policemen said the arrests of Foster and his companions a week later was the first inkling they had that they had been talking to a much wanted Chi cago fugitive.
 Foster is being held here pending a hearing on his removal to Chicago. Chicago police here on the case say Forsythe shot Lingle with Fosters eIJn
