200 CHILDREN THRILLED
Thirteen Brought Into Auditorium On Cots-Flagpole on Lawn Dedi- cated to Memory of WinchelI smiths Mother-Noted Guests.
Special to the IIeraldD

NeWington, July 26-Two gov ernors, John H. Trum bull of Con- necticut and Franklin D. Roosevelt Of New York, enthusiastically graced the dedication of the new dormitory and auditorium at the Newington Home for Crippled Children yester- day by their presence and added a thrill to a series of thrills for the scores of unfortunate children in the home during the dedicatory exer- cises and at the unveiling and rais- ing of the flag on the new pole, erected in memory of Mrs. Virginia T. Smith. founder Of the home, and given by Winchell Smith. her son and playwright.
 Edgar F. Daddy" Allen. of Elyria, Ohio, president of the Inter- national Society for Crippled Chil- dren and recently returned from the international convention in Geneva, Switzerland, was an honored guest, and was greeted by the two gov ernors and by Miss Constance Leigh,
 
 Day of Real Thrills
 The children's day was crowded Wath thrills, Many who are bed-rid- den could not listen to the exercises in the auditorium, which was crowded to it's limit with friends of the home, neither could they go out on the huge lawn and see the flag unfurled, but they heard the sing ing and this was thrill. More than 200 children, however, were on the lawn when WinChell Smith pulled up the new flag, and they joined in the demonstration.
 Governor Roosevelt who was stricken by infantile paralysis sev- eral years ago and who was helpless in bed for more than two years. is an ardent patron of homes for crip. pied children. He praised the New ington home and declared that 1t surpassed, in it's management the famous home for New York state.
 Governor Roosevelt motored from Albany 10 Newington. and through a confusion in the route the ear went to Glastonbury before it was known that Newington was on the west side of the Connecticut river. Continued on Page Two)

Plainrille, July 26-Only the bright red hue of her bathing sult and the bravery of Ralph McGratb, 4, saved Louise Nordito from an untimely death by drowning yester- day in Harts pond after she had sunk below the surface Of the water for the third time and lain uncon- scous at the bottom Of eight feet of water.
 The Nordito girl, together with 4 friend, Edith Melito, both about 15 years of age, were bathing in the pond when they suddenly stepped into deep hole. Both girls imme- dately sank below the surface but the Melito girl was recused by Me Grath after the first submersion.
 After bringing her to shore, the boy swan back 10 find that the Nordito girl had disappeared He dove and located her shortly after her third sinking. The was very clear at the spot and McGrath To- cated the body of the girl through the bright color Of her bathing suit.
 He experienced considerably diff cuty in bringing her to shore be- cause she was much larger than himself. A man cn shore, whose name was not learned, gave first aid treatment 10 the unconscious girl and restored her to her senses, little the worse for her terrible experi-' cnce. The rescue yAs all the more remarkable because of the boys size, he being considerably smaller than the two girls he rescued. He is very small for his age, while the girls were quite heavy.
 As result Of his trying eXperi- ence. young McGrath is confined to his home today suffering from a nervous reaction. He is the IA year-old grandson Of Mir and Mrs. Henry David Of 46 East street. About three weeks ago the boy saved a small child who had fallen from raft at the same pond.

 In some places the situation was so bad that all excepting the relief forces, who worked with sanitary equipment, were removed to a con- siderable distance
 The burial problem also became more acute today and instead Of giving the victims separate graves it became necessary at some points to dig trenches and hold mass funerals.

Order Directed Against U. s.
 Embargo On Products
SEES CONSPIRACY IN ACTS
Lit,inoff Acts in Retaliation Against Nations Who Bar Russian Goods Convict Labor Ban Involved in American Edict.

Moscow, July 26.-Pl-The new chief Of Soviet foreign affairs has l given warning that his country may i sharply reduce, or even halt alto | gether, it's purchases in countries which impose obstacles to the ad- mission of Soviet products.
 The threat, made last night to foreign, newspaper correspondents by Maxim Litvinoff, who this week succeeded Georges Tchitcherin as commissar for foreign affairs, was interpreted as being directed princi- palIy against the United States. An embargo recently was placed on Russian timber coal and matches entering American ports.
 Attempt to Wreck Union
 NJ. Litvinoff charged that hostile capitals countries were attempt ing to wreck the Soviet Unions en- tire foreign trade. since "the re- duction of our export trade must in evitably involve a corresponding re- duction of imports"
 He warned that a policy of ext clusion from world trade of such a vast state as the Soviet Union" might injure the excluding country more than Russia, in view of the worlds present economic condition.
 Litvinoff's statement comes at the same time as the action of the United States treasury in barring large shipments of Russian pulp wood and announcement of the American MangaAese Producers as- sociatien of plans to appeal for similar embargo on Russian man. ganese.
 Seymour bowman, assistant secre- tary of the treasury, ordered GUS toms collectors to deny admittance of large consignments of Russian pulpWood purchased by the 1nterna- tional Paper company.

In a letter to Representa- tive Fish, Jr., head of the congress sional committee investigating com- munism, Adkerson urged an inquiry into Soviet dumping of man. ganese. He said the Russians were shipping in the product regardless Of the cost of production and were "wrecking the American manganese industry closing plants and ln- creasing unemployment. -

SENATOR'S ASSAIL
 LEGGE STATEMENT
LaFOlIette and Mcclellan Attack
 Leaders Stand
CLAIM HE IS MEDDLER
Tennessee Democrat Asserts That Farm Board Head Has Taken Wholly Jndefensible' stand On Packers Decree.

Washington. July 26 LP - The statement Of Chairman Legge Of the federal farm board that board mem- bers favored modification of the packers consent decree was assailed today by Senators LaFollette, re- publican, and Mcclellan, democrat. Tennessee, as unwarranted, in view of the fact the question is pending in the courts.
 Senator LaFollette regarded the chairman's action as unusual pro- Cedure" and forecast new legislation as an inevitable result of a modifi- cation of the decree, by which the big five meat packers consented to divest themselves of all activities not related to wholesale meat sell ing.
 "WhoIly IndefenSible'
 Senator Mckellar termed Legge's statement as wholly indefensible" and said the board chairman was guilty Of the grossest impropriety in attempting to advise the courts"
 Contending the packers and stock yards act was built around the consent decree" LaFollette said to modify it lis 10 amend the act with out the approval of congress"
 Congress didn't place language in the law preventing the packers from operating in unrelated businesses" he added "because the consent de- cree was entered into while the legislation was pending.
 Tt IS unusual procedure for the chairman of the farm board to make the announcement he has at this time because interested parties are contesting the decree in court to prevent the packers from operating retail stores. It is very strange prors cedure. it seems to me"
 The Wisconsin senator said if the courts grant the government-con- tested application of the packers for modification there is no question that it will be the subject for legis- lation and no doubt it will be taken up at the next session"
 says He is "MeddIer"
 McKellar said Legge was "con- tinually meddlng in matters with which the farm board has no con- cern whatsoever"
 When he entered into the business on the exchanges for the farm board.' the Tennes- se can added, most people realized that it was wholly without justifica- tion and that such action could not be Of any value 10 the farmers.
