Of the Soviet cars was found "in con-
dition to finish the run and render
many more thousands of miles service
after that" =. ~
The expedition was able to report
in Moscow at the end of the run that
there was not one serious accident
or breakdown Of cars or persons;
every car and every man travelled
every inch of the way.
Some have said we should first
build roads. and then develop an au-

Khalesky, of the Revolutionary Mill

COW workers assembled today at the
meeting in the Park to welcome the
expedition back. But this would
develop neither roads nor cars" con-
tinued Khalesky, who then went on
to point out that wherever an auto
mobile goes, it spreads culture and
.ernands for good rosds.
Synthetic Soviet Rubber a Success,
The experience OF the expedition
bears this out, and adds another fac
tor. In such huge country as the
Soviet Union, with its varied geology
and climate, the sort Of road needed
has sometimes to be found out by
actual experimenting. For example,
even before reaching Tashkent, the
expedition ran into territories between
Aktyubinsk and Irgiz where there are
patches of ground mixed with salt.
In dry weather this can be crossed
anywhere, but with the lightest rain
fall, the dirt and salt mixture be-
comes something like glue, and sticks
all over the cars, clogging wheels and
transmission. In these small areas
of salt ground, drainage and planting
OF some thick-rooted grass Is neces-
sary to build good road.

synthetic rubber. especially wher
partially Debated to broaden theii
tread, can carry a very heavy load
over desert sands. But 1t was found
that the tires when so used fling vi
much sand and dust onto the ma

Tom Mann to Visit
Mooney and Billings
Mass Pressure Forces
Extension of Stay

NEW YORK-Tom Mann, 77-year-
old British militant labor leader, will
use the extension of his stay In
America, won by the pressure Of
masses on Washington, to visit Tom
Mooney, Billings and j. B. McNa-
mara in San Quentin Prison, it was
announced yesterday by Donald Hen
derson, secretary Of the American
League Against War and FaScism.
Word arrived from the warden at
San Quentin that the two imprisoned
labor leaders, who have been behind
bars for the last II and % years,
respectively, will be permitted to see
Tom Mann, who is very anxious to
talk with the two staunch fighters
and bring his greetings from the
English masses to them. Mann has
for many years carried on q struggle
in England for the liberation of all
class war prisoners and has taken a
special interest in American victims
of capitalist justice.
Upon his arrival in America for
the anti-war movement, one of the
first inquiries made by Mann was:
How soon will we be able to get
Mooney out of his dungeon? He Is
in there because he was with us and
fought against the last slaughter
match"
While on the coast Tom Mann will
address mass meetings at Seattle and
San Francisco under the auspices of
the anti-war movement.

moned were Arthur Reynolds of Cooke street and William J. Dun phy, druggist and former mem Der of the board of safety. MT Reynolds was the operator of the car involved in the accident. He is at liberty on his own recogni- zance. MT Dunphy was one of the first to reach the injured woman and he rushed her to St Mary's hospital in his car.
 On examination at the hospital it was discovered that Miss Kear- ney had suffered 8 fracture of the skull, Her condition was criti- cal from the outset and little hope was entertained for her recovery. She died at about 5:15 o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
 In his statement to Deputy Cor oner Walter Smyth, who is in- vcstigating the circumstances Of the accident, Reynolds stated that Miss Kearney was crossing Cooke street near Hopkins street when his car struck her.

and is alleged to have threatened them with arrest If they didn't give her money. She obtained about $75 from both of them. They later refused to give any more ''hush money' and the state police were tipped off that they had pur- chased stolen goods. When state troopers captured Malley, Lord and Hodges near Portland, the first two named received jail sen- tences of six months in the county jail at Haddam. Hodges was brought back to Waterbury to help the state police incriminate storekeepers for receiving stolen goods. He was sentenced to pris- on last Thursday.
 Attorney John F. McDonough appeared for Daddona this morn ing and when the state moved to continue the hearing in order to bring Hodges down from prison, asked for a recess in which to con- fer with Prosecuting Attorney resumed Daddona pleaded guilty. It was explained that he bought the merchandise from Malley, not f1OUSeSs anu udu pau pA d SdA tVA for cigarettes when the market price was $1.10. There was noth- ing about the deal to arouse his suspicion.
 In the cases of Teta and Lacava no mention was made about the hush money" paid to Mrs Hodges. State troopers testified about the stolen goods being disposed of in deals made with them. They paid prices ranging from 25 to 30 cents below the market price. Frank J. Nastri, local tobacco merchant, qualified as a state witness and quoted the prices.
 When the case of the accused woman was called she entered plea of not guilty and waived ex- animation and was held for su- perior court. Interest in her case was keen owing to the possibility of sensational testimony being pre- sented, duplicating another prom inent party in the transaction. There is little chance now of such a deyelopment materialiZing.

 The papers state the plaintiff and defendant were married June 25, 1925. The desertfon is alleged to have taken place on June 20, 1929. The defendant has filed a motion for alimony which will be heard when the divorce is being consid- cred. Attorneys T. V. Meyer and Michael J. Galullo appear for the plaintiff and Attorney Fitzgerald and Haddon of New Haven repre- sent the defendant.

Temporary disposition was made to-day of the case of Rita Dau- phinais, 22, also known as Mrs Paul Hodges, who was ordered held for superior court on the charge of blackmail. The young woman, mother of a 11-months old baby, has obtained liberty un- der bonds. Her case will be in- .cluded in the docket being pre- pared for the first Tuesday in April. Three other cases linked di- rectly or indirectly with the ac- cused woman were disposed of with Anthony Lacava, 26, of 93 Oak street and Anthony Teta, 28. of 97 Oak street being fined $100 and costs and Nick Daddona, 21, of IF Fulton Park avenue being assessed $50 for receiving stolen goods. It was expected that a habeus corpus writ would be nec- essary to have Paul Hodges. the central figure in the mixed-up cases, brought to Waterbury from the states prison at Wethersfield, where he is now serving a sentence of five to seven years. He was convicted last week in the superior court of Middletown on several charges of burglary.
 Attorney Henry Weisman ap- bearing for the accused woman, claimed that there was no mali- ciousness in her efforts to obtain money from Teta and Lacava as she was driven to desperation by the thought that she would be forced to struggle along to SUD- port herself and her child. His pe- tition that the charge be changed from blackmail to one of obtain ing money under false pretenses was denied.
 The first chapter of the several cases mentioned dates back to Hodges long list of 20 or more burglaries in various parts of the state. He disposed of some of the stolen merchandise in several local stores, including those owned by the three men fined this morning. Shortly after he was arrested. with two companions, Stanley Malley and Harold Lord of this city,. Mrs Hodges visited Teta and Lacavl
