Mr.. Dreyer, who is leaving Washing
ten for the West, hopes to get num-
Der of pictures illustrative of university
life. He says that many of the books
that are on sale in Germany give the
idea that life among university students
is far from what it should be. His own
thought, based on observation, is that
university life in this country is whole
some. He is also impressed with the
fine civic spirit shown in this country.
Mr.. Dreyer made pictures Of Mount
Vernon. the White House and number
Of other places in Washington. He
made number of pictures of the All
Clubs encamped on the Department of
Agriculture grounds and also took
several views of the city from the top of
the Washington Monument. He says
that in Germany the All Clubs are
regarded as the greatest organization
of its kind in the world.
In making his Washington films. Mr..
Dreyer was accompanied by Curtis

BABY DEATHS CUT
BY NATURAL DIET
Increase in Normal Feeding
Believed Cause of Decline
In Mortality Rate.
Nv the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
A trend toward the back-to-nature
method Of feeding babies was given
credit by the Children's Bureau today
for o marked cut in infant death rate.
Bureau experts, compiling statistics,
discovered that gastro-intestinal deaths
decreased as scientific instruction in
infant feeding was spread throughout
the States.
All but one Of the United States, they
said, had reported activities to promote
the natural method Of infant feeding
while the maternity and infancy act
was in operation from 1921 to 1929.
During these years, their records show
ed, the infant death rate from stomach
and intestinal diseases was cut In half
from 14.S to IA deaths per 1000 live
births.
The final report on administration Of
the maternity and infancy act said OF
this decrease:
Reduction Is Greatest.
'~The rate for gaStro-intestinal dis
eases shows q greater reduction than
that for any other group of causes.
This reduction reflects the work done
in disseminating information on the
importance OF DTeaSC 1eeQul6 dilu tIic
proper preparation of simple formulas
of cows milk, the value of good routine
in the care Of the baby, sunshine, fresh
air and the introduction into the in
fant's dietary Of the right foods at the
right time"
The information consisted Of clinics,
motion pictures and sending nurses into
homes with instruction on natural
feeding.
The Children's Bureau distributed
nearly q quarter million copies Of its
folder No. 8, Breast Feeding" COM
pletely exhausting the supply. The
folder is being brought up to date for
another printing.
Estimates Are Made.
State reports showed that IN 1928
and 1929 nurses visited 50,081 mothers
In Alabama, 9,041 In Arizona and 1871
In Michigan. These figures were quoted
as illustrative.
Available statistics revealed further
that in two Minnesota counties IS per
cent Of the babies were breast fed,

Clark's attorney declared In Practice
Court, where the deportation case is
being heard. that the whole machinery
of the Canadian immigration act had
been set. in motion at the request of
the United States authorities, despite
the fact that Clark would testify against
Canada and for the United States. His
evidence, Tanner explained, was that
Americans and not Canadians were the
owners Of the liquor runner.
The I'm Alone was sunk by United
States Coast Guards about two years
ago. The Canadian governments claim
for damages was delivered to the State
Department in Washington last March.

surveys or estimates:
Missouri, 60 per cent; South Caro-
lima, 60; South Dakota, IL; Oklahoma,

State, of 1907 infants examined, A
per cent were natural fed, 80 per cent
partially breast fed and % per cent
artihcially fed. .
Though no national check on the
subject Is kept now, because of the
lapse Of the maternity and infancy act,
the Children's Bureau regards the totals
as representative Of the trend.

ROOSEVELT WILL NOT BE PRESENT
 AT KENT AFFAIR
Governor of New York Was to Have Been Prin- cipal Speaker IN. Y. Business Keeps Him Away

Waterbury democrats who are planning to attend the statewide gathering of party leaders in Kent this Saturday were disappointed to-day when they received news that Governor Franklin D. Roose- welt of New York, who was to be the principal speaker at the af- fair, will not be able to attend. Of- ficials in charge of the gathering were notified of Governor Roose- velts inability to attend last night
 Many from this city are going to the outing. Dr F. G. Dolan Of Manchester. who was responsible for getting Governor Roosevelt's consent to attend the gathering about eight weeks ago, stated to- day that the meeting will go on just the same. He expressed sur prise when told of the governors intention to call off the Connecti- cut engagement.
 It was explained at Albany. N. r., that Governor Roosevelt will be unable to be at Kent due to the fact that the legislature of the Empire State will hold special session and, thereby, prevent his absence from New York. Governor Roosevelt has established pre- cedent of never leaving the state. even briefly, during any session of the legislature. This, therefore, virtually precludes his journey to Kent.

George Tracy Adherents Slapped in z,200 Votes While the Eddie Udelo- witz Forces Were Drib-

NO SURPRISE SAID
 CHAIRMAN CONWAY

Republican primaries held last night could hardly be called such, . pcrusal of the results of the polling to-day indicated. Very lit- tie interest in the battle. the over- whelming victory of the organiza- ton forces and the utter absence of support for the United Front party, headed by Edward Udelo- witz, served to make the primary little more than @ farce. The reg uiar organization, headed by Town Chairman T. E. Conway, boiled 2,200 votes while the Udelowitz followers were only able to muster 50 supporters. The majority of the organization over the United Front party was 2,150.
 Not even all the delegates listed on the Udelowitz ticket supported the United Front fight. Only 50 votes were cast for the United Front while there are approxi- mately 150 names listed on the partys ticket as filed last Satur- day with the g, o. p. town com mHtee.

This Will Probably Pre- vent the Opening of Six Fairgrounds That Were Run By Knights of Columbus -- Clubs Can Open But Must Be Ex- clusively Religious TEXT OF THE
 AGREEMENT

Vatican City, Sept. 2.-(UP).- Official announcement of an accord between the Vatican and the fascist government on reopening of Cath ollie clubs was made to-day.
 The accord followed weeks of ne- gotiations during which Italo-Vati- can relations often appeared strain ed. The fascist government ob- jected to the Catholic clubs on the grounds that they were political.
 The communique indicated that the Knights of Columbus will be unable to continue conducting ath- letic institutions in Rome, due to the ban on athletic activity in the Catholic actions clubs.
 The Knights of Columbus con- ducted six athletic playgrounds here until they were closed during the Itslo- Vatican controversy.
 A fascist communique announced that agreement had been reached on the following points:
 The Catholic Action society, which was closed last spring on charges of anti-fascist activity, will be under diocesan supervision. The organization will be exclu- sively religious.
 It will abstain from athletic ac. tivity.
 The change in hte administration of Catholic action from national leadership to diocesan supervision paves the way for membership in both the clubs and the fascist orr ganizations, chiefly due to the guar (Continued on Page 17),~sAs

 ESCAPED FROM

Six More Lost Lives When Boat Capsized--Escap- ed Men Got Into Vene- zuela

Montpelier, France, Sept. 2.- (UP) Louis Lagarde and five fel- low convicts from Devils Island, famous French penal colony off French Guiana, have escaped into Venezuelan territory, according to word receivde here by Lagarde's relatives. Six other convicts staked their lives in an attempted escape and lost. The frail boat they had constructed secretly capsized soon after they reached the open sea.
 Lagarde and his five companions reached safety at the Island of Sainte Marne De Venezuela. Escape from Devils Island Is regarded as almost super-human in France due to the shark infested seas which surround Devils Island and the dense jungles in the interior from Cayenne. Many convicts have re- turned to the penal colony after finding it impossible to penetrate the jungle or navigate the ocean.

 PARALYSIS
Two Have Died in Past "A Hours -54 Active Cases Here--State Re- port Is Very Much Dif- ferent

A slight let-up is apparent in the fact that but three cases of infantile paralysis were reported this morning-the lowest number in the past week. Three reported cases several days ago were to- day said to be not infantile paraly- sis thus cutting three cases off the reported total. There were two deaths reported in the past twenty four, hours.

 There are now 54 active cases, three being cut from the active list because further diagnosis by physicians resulted in information that first reports concerning the infantile paralysis had been cor- rected. Since the start, S5 cases have been reported.
