The Middletown high school bas- ketball team which scored 27-22 decision over Meriden, in the Silver City last Friday, in a Central Con- necticut Interscholastic league con test will meet Tomm Monahan's tossers in the state armory, tonight. The game will be preceded by pr- liminary attraction between the reserves of the respective schools, slated to start at 7:30 o'clock and Clyde M. Waters of the central board of officials calling 'em.
 Tommy Monahan's chalkcd court performers have been travelling along at a fast clip during the past few weeks, but had their winning streak snapped last Manday when they bowed to Naugatuck in char ity contest 29-27 in which a free for-alr fight took place. A win for Captain "Dikes" Hall and his mates would assure them of the league title and at the same time would entrance into the Yale tournament. The local tossers will probably take the floor against the Asylum city five with diminutive Andy Pa lau and Mike Pave1chak In forward berths, Captain Hall at center. and Able Gurske and "Sparky" Di Gio- vanni in the rear courts. La Ponte, Marc, Matukaitis. Utke and Louie King will be held In reserve.

Wins Divorce From
 Wife In Liverpool
John A. Pearson Claims Better Half Stayed Here Only
 Two Months After Arrival From England

came to this country in 1927, but that she stayed only two months before departing for England. She never returned to America.
 Judge Peasiey asked whether there was any encouragement from the plaintiff as to requesting her to come to America. Copies of letters he sent to her were read which bordered on the strictly formal. Judge Peasley after listen ing to one of them said, I'm not surprised from the letters that she hasn't come back" He described the letters as being cold and asked to hear letters of affection or en- dearment. None were forthcom- ing. It was explained that the letters that were read were writ ten after the defendant had shown her intention of remaining across the ocean.
 The Pearson case was one of three divorces granted today. The other decrees were entered in the cases of Dorothy Beatrice McAus- lin against William McAuslin and Lillian Blanchard against Napo- leon Blanchard. All decrees were granted on grounds of assertion.

TERRYVILLE

Interest is running high in this the teachers have taken in regards to accepting voluntary cut in their wages of 10 per cent. Chair man of the Board of Education Robert A. Metcalf at 8 meeting of the teachers held week ago explained to them that the present budget for the year for schools was $88,998.50 and at that time a voluntary cut in their wages.
 The teachers held meeting Tuesday evening at which time John Rolfe. principal of the East Main street school was appointed chairman. When interviewed he stated that he would give the de- cision to the Board of Education and that they could make 1t pub lie. To date Chairman of the Board of Education MT Metcalf has not received any word as to what action was taken with the result that all kinds of rumors are in the air.
 One rumor has 1t that the teachers feel that if they accept 8 cut that the town officials should take Q cut likewise. Such a move on the part of the teachers, if 1t Is true, does not take well with the townspeople in general. due to the fact that a great many of them have homes in other towns and board here. The townspeople do not believe that the teachers should dictate about salaries in other branches of the town busi- ness.
 Another rumor has 1t that the teachers have decided to make the Board of Education live up to their contracts for the remainder of this year. They point to the fact that the teachers in the town of Ply- mouth are among the lowest paid per capita in the tsate and feel that they are entitled to their promised wage.
 In asking the teachers to take a voluntary cut of ten per cent, MT Metcalfe asked them to take 1t for the remainder of the year, start ing March 1st. Should the teach CTS accept such reduction, 1t would mean a saving of about $2,300.
 Another meeting of the teach- CTS was neld yesterday dICeTnOon in the Main street school, but the action taken at this meeting has not been learned.

Fair Deal Request For Bishop Cannon
 Started Up Things
Blanton of Texas Was the Starter and Several Others
 Joined i1-Campaign Against Smith Interjected

Washington, Feb 19-UP)-A flair and square" deal for Bishop James Cannon, Jr, was demanded in the House to-day by Repre- sentative Blanton, democrat, Texas, as the Methodist bishop sat in the gallery listening to a debate that involved his 1928 campaign against Alfred F. Smith. Blanton replied to a challenge in the House yes terday by Representative Tinkham, republican,, Massachusetts, that Cannon commence his $500,0O0 libel suit against the Massachusetts congressman. He announced that the bishops lawyer had arranged for an early trial.
 "They will have the bishop there with his attorneys and the gen. tleman from Massachusetts can question him if he wants to-" Elan ton said to the House. "The bish- op may want to ask MT Tinkham some questions, too.
 'I appeal for you to wait until this case is tried in court"
 The Texan turned upon Tink- ham, who was not present during the debate, and accused him of taking refuge in his congressional immunity, despite Tinkham' S claims to the contrary. Blanton read from the answer filed by Tinkham to the Cannon suit, eX- plaining that the Massachusetts congressman had claimed con- gressional immunity, not for a speech in the House but for a speech outside, the latter on the ground that he was acting in the public interest.
 Blanton denied any personal in- terest in his defense of Cannon, other than flair play" and their

 "The man who is in the White House was put there partly by the bishop, wasn't he?" asked Repre- sentative $goe, democrat, Illinois.
 "Yes, by him and about 100000 other ministers of the gospe1,' the Texan replied.
