No Definite Action Was Taken But the Members of Waterbury Bar AssO- ciation Seem to Favor Such a Movement

While there has been no definite action taken, members of the Wa terbury Bar association are high ly in favor of the establishment of United States court in this city. A federal court, lawyers of this city, state, could be set up in the new Post Office building which is a governmental edifice and which is slated to open about March goth.
 The federal court sits only in Hartford and New Haven and whenever, Waterbury lawyers have cases that take them to that court it means excess expenses includ- ing mileage of automobiles, dinners and other incidentals.
 Local barristers point out that Waterbury has as many federal court cases as any city in the state. They point out that when they are called to attend federal court session they are required to spend the whole day out of town.
 Local lawyers explain that with the new Post Office building about to open, adequate space for the housing of a federal court could easily be made. Federal Judges Edwin c. Thomas and Carroll c. Hincks would not be required to go very far out of the way to reach Waterbury, the lawyers say.
 A federal court would be a great convenience and would require hardly mroe expense than is now incurred in the operation of the two federal courts in the state.

BY RUBY A. BLACK

 New York, Feb 25.-UP)-- That precedent-breaking first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, will hold regu- lar conferences with newspaper women. just as the president holds conferences with newspaper repre- sentatives.
 Through arrangements com pleted to-day by the prospective White House secretariat and Wash ington newspaperwomen, Mrs Roosevelt will flout the traditional silence of presidential wives and meet newspaper women once a week-or more often if they desire ito give them the news of her &C., tivities and her views.
 She will avoid all questions con- cerned with politics, legislation or executive decisions.
 Mrs Roosevelt. in her long poh- tical career, and in the period be- tween election and inauguration. has been very accessible to news paper women. She has answered questions freely, but never issues statements or holds regular con- ferences.

 Chengtehfu. Jehol, Feb 25.- (UP) )-This city, the most beauti- full in all China, today has become the base for a stubborn military movement which the Chinese high staff confidently expects to result in Waterloo for Japan's imperial istic plans. -
 Its 30,00O citizens are grimly but energetically dedicating themselves to two tasks-the defense of Chengtehfu's magnificent temples and gorgeous pagodas from air. raids, and the never-ending dis patch of the sinews of war, troops, guns and munitions, to the fighting forces now in position to the north.
 1t was admitted by the high command today that the Japanese have occupied the cities of Peipiao and Chaoyang, from which the Chinese troops flor strategic pur- poses" have withdrawn in good order, to take up positions accord ing to a previously prepared de- fense scheme centering at Ping fangtien. west of Chaoyang.
 Through this ever stiffenfng line of defense, however, the Japanese have thus far been unable to pene- trate.
 .Brigadier General Tsui Hsing- Wu, supported by the volunteer commander u Fangt-Ting is still doggedly holding on to Kailu. de- spite repeated Japanese assaults on that key city.
 The Japanese wave was also halted at Saitung, south of Kailu, where General Feng Chan Hafs "big swords completed a brilliant and rapid swing to take up seem- ingly impregnable positions in a pocket surrounded by Jagged mountains--natural defenses.
 The expected air raids on Chengtehfu are awaited with the utmost Sangfroid. At the first signal, the French and Belgian flags will climb to the stair over Father Oscar Conard's Belgian Catholic mission: The British flag already flies over the Protestant mission where, with his wife and small children, the Rev Dr Dutchie, a New Zealander, refuses to aban- don his post.

SENATOR REED WOULD SCALP
 INSURGENT IFS
Senator Norris Comes Back With Plan to Form Party That Ignores Both Old Ones

Washington, Feb 25.-(UP)- Creation of national progressive organization similar in structure to that of the older parties to give the people an alternative to politj- cal programs of ''reactionaries seeking to control the democratic and republican parties" was pro- posed today by Senator Norris, re- publican, Neb, veteran leader of the progressive movement.
 Norris proposal came within a few hours of the revelation that Senator Reed, republican, Pa, would seek in the senate repubH- can caucus after March to read out of the party the progressives who bolted President Hoover last year.
 "A national progressive organiza- tion with headquarters Tn Wash ington should be set up," Norris said in a statement announcing his plan. "It should be strictly noD- partisan in character, having no connection with the republican, democratic, or other parties"
 He suggested creation of a joint progressive executive committee composed of members of the house and senate and organization of a national committee identical in structure with the national com- mittee set-up of the two older par ties.
 Washington, Feb 25.-(UP)- Senator Reed, republican. Pa, Is after the scalps of the four insur- gent republican senators who bolt ed their party to support President elect Roosevelt in the last election.
 He announced that when senate republicans hold their next con- ference, he will seek to have the bolters read out of the party. The four are Senators Norris, Neb, Cut ting, N. M.. Johnson, Calf, and LaFollette, Wis.
 Norris, Johnson and LaFollette hold committee chairmapships un- der the present republican organ ization of the senate. They would lose these anyway after March when democrats will control the senate.
 Senator McNary of Oregon, who will be republican leader in the next senate, quickly denounced Reeds proposal. He said {. it wouldn't .'get to first base" Me- !
