NEW HAVEN ROAD AND TRUCKS ARE
 AT GRIPS AGAIN
Vehicle Committee of the Legislature Are Considering the Argu- ments M a d e By Both Sides

Hartford, Conn, March 30.- (UP) Members of the motor vehi- cles committee of the legislature had under consideration today the arguments of a score of witnesses on proposed bills to regulate trucks and busses and limit their size and capacity.
 The chief proponents of the bills, sponsored by the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, mus tered testimony to show the trucks were a menace on the highways when unregulated. John J. Policy, president of the New Haven, was one of the principal witnesses.
 "They talk about unfair competi- tion," Pelley said, "but everyone knows what we charge for a cer- tain service. We have to publish tariffs and abide by them. The truckers do not. There is no way regulated transportation can com pete with unregulated transporta- tion."
 Frank Wall, vice-president of the railroad, said there was field for trucks and busses, but added that when trucks put machines on the highways that measure 40-feet- four feet longer than a standard freight car-they are going beyond their field.
 "We believe freight cars belong on the railroads, not not the high ways" Wall said.

(Uuite0 Pre08 Stan COffe9UOUOcut) Washington, March 30.-(UP)- The administration has reason to believe that Frances defaulted war debt installment of $19,000.000 will be paid on, it was learned to-day. At the same time 1t was learned that diplomats planning the world economic conference are discussing | transfer of it's meeting place from being mentioned as Q tentative
 date.
 Positive predictions on either point are impossible now, because the Angelo-American French debt and economic conversations are in I a tentative and exploratory stage. The Anglo-American phase of | the conversations will be continued tomorrow when Secretary of State Hull again will meet Sir Ron- ald Lindsay, British ambassador. An international comedy of er- TOTS" is resulting from the efforts of statesmen to prevent the crys- talization of public opinion on the dynamic subject of war debts. Thus, when Foreign Minister Paul. Concur of France yesterday asked the chamber of deputies to defer debate on the debts because nego- tiations about them were preceding in a Friendly" spirit, the state de- partment said it krew of no nego- tiations.
 In a strict diplomatic sense this
 Is true. No notes, 1t is understood,
 are being exchanged, but there is a constant stream of informal talk. As long ago as December, it was
 reliably learned, French spokesmen told President Roosevelt's advisors that they anticipated France would
 pay the $19,000,000 in arrears but
 not to the Hoover administration. Discussions were carried further in three conversations between MT Roosevelt and French Ambassador
 Paul Claudel. Two of these took place in New York before inaugu-
 ratoin. The pair met again at the
 White House on Monday.
 The Roosevelt administration ex-
 poets France will pay and thus put itself into position for revision of
 its basic $4,000,000 war debt.
 As to the economic conference,
 the place of meeting fixed by the
 preparatory commission was Lon-
 don, but some of the interested
 powers favor Washington. Such
 change is being considered in in-
 formal conversations at the state

Shanley of New Haven was delegated to or ganize a state league which will begin play as soon as it is humanly possible to gather the teams and draw up schedule.
 Waterbury will be represented in the circuit by a team to be known as the Roosevelt-C Cross club, the exact name of the political organi- zation in this state that first de- clared itself in favor of election of Dean Cross to the gubernatorial post in Connecticut, both of which campaigns reached the stage of reality In addition to Waterbury. the cities of New Haven, Bridge port, Meriden, Bristol, New Britain and Hartford will be represented in the league.
 Temporarily, the work or organi- zation of the Waterbury team has been delegated to John F. Robin son and Johnny Egan, former Crosby, Cftl league and Roxbury Prep baseball player, who are ex- pected to sign most of the neces- sary players within the next ten days. Games in this city will be played at Hamilton Park, probably Saturday afternoons, if proper ar- engagements can be made.

of powder, police said. Except for the shattered windows, the ex- plosion caused little damage.
 Father Coughlin in the last two years achieved national fame through crusading sermons. Re- gently his attention turned to bank ing difficulties in Detroit and in the nation.
 Last Sunday afternoon, in his regular sermon, he lashed vicious ly at certain Detroit bankers and banking groups and a newspaper accusing them of varying degrees of negligence, mismanagement and distortion of fact to the ultimate purpose of serving themselves in- stead of bank depositors
 The Detroit Free Press joined in bitter debate with him. Yesterday the newspaper pub lished what 1t purported to be ar | inside story of certain stock. trans actions of the priest which he as. serted were purely personal trans. actions dating back to 1923.
 Detroit Free Press have intimated libel and islander suits will be filed.
 Earlier, when Police Commis- sioner Watkins stepped to the front of drive to force reorgan- ization of the two closed National banks in lieu of opening of the new General Motors-R. F. c. bank, Father Coughlin engaged him in a series of debates. In one of his addresses Father Coughlin said he was speaking for Secretary of the Treasury Woodin in asking De- troiters to back the new bank.

GERMAN DEPUTY
 BORN IN 5. A.

Berlin-(UP)-On of Ger many's 584 Reichstag deputies, Richard Walter Darre, was born in the Argentine, at Begrano, Buenos Aires.
 Darre, who is @ member Of Hit ler's national socialist party, how ever, is not the only deputy born outside the boundaries of Ger many. According to the data which every deputy must submit to the Reichstag's recording office. he shares this distinction with nine other members of the pres- ent German parliament. But with the except of Karl Demar Stahl- knecht, of the folksparty, who was born in India, the rest of the "for- eigners" in the German Reichstag were born in European countries. Naturally, all of them always have been German citizens.
 From the data submitted to the Reichsiag's recording office. an- other interesting fact may be gleaned-namely. that the vast majority of German Reichstag deputies were born in the western part of the country. Thus, the province of Rhineland-W -Westfalia. for instance, is recorded as the na- tive district of 120 deputies. Next are the natives of Bavaria. They number 75 deputies in the German Reichstag, while next come the natives of Thuringia. who number 36 deputies.
 comparatively few of the, Ger man Reichstag deputies (only 23) were born in Berlin and the prov ince of Brandenburg. An almost equal number (20) hail from those parts of the Fatherland ceded un- der the Treaty of Versailles-Al- sace-Lorraine, West Prussia, the part of Schleswig which now be- longs to Denmark, Eastern Upper Silesia. and Danzig.

 The truckers have millions of dollars tied up in trucks, Hing worth said, and felt that any sug- gestions for limitation of size and conveyances should come from the state motor vehicle department and not from competitors in transpor- tation.
 John T. Hubbard, Bridgeport warned against needing the rail- road demands.
 "They say limitation is in the public interests" he said. "but ] have never been aware that the railroads interest in the public was subservient to its own. Beware of Greeks bearing gifts"

All of the above petitioners are owners together of 4,658 shares of preferred stock and 17,693 shares of common stock, more than 10 per cent of the 250,000 shares of authorized capital stock.

 Berlin, March 30.-UP)-Com- plete realignment of the German press has been one of the outsand- ing results of the national revolu- tion.
 Although the names of the pa pers are preserved, they no longer stand for the political associations of the past. Thus the Berliner Tageblatt no longer is liberal-dem- ocratic but must be regarded as a government mouthpiece q
 The same Is true of nearly every paper with the paradoxical excep- tion of the Deutsche Allgemeine, which for years was the chief ad- vocate of inclusion of the Hitler ites in the government and now Is the only newspaper daring to cri- ticize governmental action.
