Announcement of the appoint ment of State Senator Raymond Devlin as assistant prosecutor Of New Haven city court last night was received with considerable pleasure in Waterbury where Attorney Devlin is we'll acquainted.

 Attorney Deylin was among thir- teea court officials named yesterday by Judges Stanley Dunn and Philip Troup. The appointments came only after much deliberation upon the part of the two judges and con- siderable speculation throughout New Haven and surrounding towns as to the ultimate office holders.

Sometime during the night some- one borrowed MT Greenblatt's trous- CTS. They were found abandoned this morning in the rear of his resi- dence, 20 Buckingham street, but there was no such luck as far as his wrist watch, diamond signet ring and a roll of bills amounting to $50. They are still missing.
 It was the work of daring trousers snatcher. The unknown party succeeded in entering or reaching into MT Greenblatt's bed- room and gaining possession of his trousers. It was only question of minutes to frisk the pants and to make getaway. The discarded ap- parel was found later in the yard.
 The missing ring was keepsake of MT Greenblatt's. It was of Jap anese workmanship studded with a diamond.

GERMANY ASKING ASSISTANCE OF
 GREAT BRITAIN

Southampton, England, June b. (UP)--Chancelolr Heinrich Bruen- ing and Foreign Minister Julius Curtius arrived to-day from Ger many to seek the British govern ment's sympathy on behalf of their forthcoming demands for revision of the Young plan. Tomorrow they will go to Chequers to engage in frank conversations with Prime Minister Ramsay Macdonald and Foreign Minister Arthur Henderson
 The arrival of German statesmen on an important visit to England was viewed as significant. The con- versa tions were arranged to afford an exchange of views on mutual problems and disarmament. Bruen- ing and Curtius will spend the week end at Chequers court, the official country residence of the prime min- ister, 3S miles from London.
 Without resorting to direct meth- ods, such as threats or requests for support, the German statesmen were expected to give Macdonald a full account of their economic plight and incidentally to indicate the proce- dure they will follow in demanding a repsrations holiday.
 It was understood Bruening was anxious to acquaint the British Eov- ernment with their plans before they are launched.
 Having explained their economic policy and the reason they fell they cannot continue to meet separations payments, the German statesmen were expected to return to Berlin to make ready for a decisive move to- ward reduction of the Young plan payments.
 British observers have become doubtful if the Bruening government can delay much longer the inevita- ble move to obtain revision of the Young plan. Pressure for immedi- ate action has been exerted by the steady rise in nationalism in Ger many, as evidenced by Adolph Hit ler's electoral successes and the in- crease in the Reich's budgetary de- ficit
 The German contention will be that Germany has legal and moral right to ask revision and that 1t should not wait until its currency has been jeopardized. By acting now to reopen the whole question of separations, according to the German viewpoint. it will be possible to avert a disaster such as would come if German exchange were en- dangered.
 Reports of an international loan of $45O, 100000 to aid Germany through the economic crises have bene cir culating here and elsewhere in Eu- rope. According to authoritative German quarters, the German gov ernment does not want any further foreign financial assistance because it would merely postpone the crisSi and burden the next generation.

 .It is quite reasonable to suspect that marriage offered him only very meagre sex outlet" he said, "and since he was unable to obtain yicarious outlets through the drama, and so forth, so useful for modern man, it is no wonder that honest Abe made use of spicy wit as vent for his repressed sexuality.
 Throughout his life, there was not q breath of scandal about his sex ual life. The sex instinct cannot be annihilated; when it's normal path IS obstructed, it always finds some by path"
 Lincoln's unconsciously aggressive nature, a result of his suffering at the hands of his brutal father and Of brutal environments. Brill said, showed itself in his use of ridicule with jokes and stories.
