CHANGE IN MILK
 ACT SUGGESTED
Provide Single Pool for States Milk Shed,
 Asks Morris

Hartford, Conn.,, Dec 15-(UP) Changes in the Connecticut milk control act to provide a single pool for states milk shed and a gradu- ated scale of fines for violations of the act, have been suggested by Chairman Charles c. Morris of the control board, as partial solution to the states dairy problems.
 Proposed amendments were ad- vocated by Morris at federal trade commission inquiry here.
 A single pool, Morris said. would obviate changes of favoritism which might be shown certain dealers in a pool operated by a voluntary assication.
 Certain producers. it was testi- fled, claimed favoritism has been shown some members of the Con- necticut Milk Producers associa- tion, this was denied by CMPA ofi ficialg.
 Revocation of an offenders li- cense, Morris pointed out. is the only means the control board has of enforcing its regulations. He said the procedure was too drastic In many cases and suggested an a. mendment providing a graduated scale of fines imposed by the board. Morris revealed bill of such na- ture has been drafted and will he presented the incoming legislature.

FORTUNE WALKS
 QUIT OF BANK

New York, Dec 14-(UP)-A fortune of s590,OOO walked out" of the United States Trust com- pany and today police were inves- tigating.
 The money was in U. S. treasury notes-f1ve for $100,000 each and nine for $10,000 each. A number of bank employees handled the notes, but all were exonerated. There was no evidence or logic to support a theory that they had been stolen by outsiders. Then how did they get outof the high, barred cage of the trust company's note teller? Detectives wished they had the answer, or anything approxi- mating an answer.
 Two messengers for the First Boston corporation, a subsidiary of the First National Bank of Boston, presented the notes, held together by a paper clip, at the note teller's wicket. The messen- gers were Bernard Ferris, 54, and Theodore Himz, 45, both retired firemen, and trusted employees. Not the slightest suspicion is attached to them.

MISSING DOCTOR
 VICTIM OF RARE APHASIA MALADY
New Angle Follows as Re-
 suit of Three VOiceless Phone Calls

Boston, December 15 - (UP) - Three voiceless telephone calls led police today to believe that Dl George Hoyt Bigelow, missing di. rector of Massachusetts Genera Hospital, migh be the. yiesSs-s q < rare form of aphasia.
 This new angle of the 12-day dis. appearance mystery was revealed would expedite the search that has become nationwide.
 Dr Bigelow vanished from his home in suburban Milton December 3 and was last seen definitely the same day at Fayville reservoir, near his native Birmingham.
 At 10:30 p. rn., December 4, the first of the three voiceless calls was received by Mrs Bigelow at their home. She heard mumblings, a shuffling of feet and heavy breath. ing. but the person on the other end of the line seemed unable te speak and finally hung up without having uttered a word.
 A similar call was received next day at p. m., and o third last Tuesday at 12:5S D. m.
 As a result of this disclosure po- lice will send photographs and. de scriptions of the missing doctor to telephone operators and drug stores, waiting rooms. public build- ings and other places where there are pay stations.
 Meanwhile it was planned te have Dr Bigelow's picture flashed o,, r1oyia screens thrOughout the state.
 The aphasia theory was, consid- cred at state house conference at- tended by State Police Commis- sioner Paul G. Kirk, House Speaker Leyerett Saltonstall, a relative by marriage of pr Bigelow, state de- tectivs and physicians.
 It was explained to officials a, the conference that one form oi amnesia is known as retro-antero- grade, described as a perverslon ol memory in which recent events are relegated to the remote past, While occurrences of long ago seem re- cent.
 This. 1t was pointed out, might account for pr Bigelow's appear ance at Fayville reservoir, for during his service as state healtn commissioner a few years ago, was his duty to make occasional ln- spection tours of such water sup plies.
 It was suggested that Dr Bigeio" might be a victim of motor aphasla which makes it impossible for per sons to express their ideas in words

FITCHBURG HIGH
 SCHOOL RUINED
 IN $7OO,OOO FIRE
One Fireman in Hospital /; Dozens Imperilled By
 Debris

Fitchburg, Mass, Dec. 15-( (UP) dashed flames destroyed Fitchburg high school early today with loss officially estimated at $700,000.
 One fireman was taken to hos pital, the lives of dozens of others were imperilled by flames and fall ing walls, and a church rectory and scores of dwellings were threatened as the fire ate swiftly through the wooden interior Of the huge brick structure on a hill overlooking Main street.
 General Alarm Sounded
 A general alarm was sounded immediately and aid came from Gardner, Leominster and Westmin- ster, but even this army of fire fighters, handicapped by a stiff northwest wind, low water pres sure, and near-zero weather, could not curb the flames.
 Some 1900 students were left without classrooms as result of the blaze, which ragged uncontrolled for nearly three hours and was still burning after 8 a. m.
 Fire Yesterday, Too
 Bremen were called to the school, a 50-room structure erect ed 39 years ago, yesterday after noon because of what appeared to be a chimney fire. It developed however, that the school fireman had been burning chips of wood ir the furnace, and this accounted fol sparks shooting from the chimney
 Fire officials considered the pos sibility that the over-heated chim' ney eventually caused the blaze but this theory was discounted bS the fact that the fire broke out 1T the upper section of the four: story structure near the chemica! laboratory.
 Flames BeIch Forth
 When Chief Michael J. Shea ar- rived with the first fire apparatus flames were belching through the roof and were spreading swiftly before the wind.
 Spread of the flames was quick ened a few minutes later when a terrific explosion occurred in the chemical laboratory as the fire reached volatile and inflammable stores.
 Building a Roaring Furnace
 Soon sthe building became a roaring furnace, from which em- bers were borne eastward by the breeze for more than a mile. The crimson sky beneath which fire men battled could be seen as far away as Aver, Is miles to the east.
 For time it was feared that both the B. F. Brown junior high school, only 200 yards away, and the rectory of Christ Episcopal church were doomed. But snow on their roofs saved these structures just as 1t saved dwellings within range of the wind-borne embers.
 Slate Hits Fireman
 Slate which cascaded from the school roof struck Fireman Rich ard Lyons of Engine 3 and he was

WOOD ST MAN
 IS GIVEN AWARD
Steam Shovel He Was Operating Struck Dyna-
 mite Charge

Compensation amounting to $1,100 will be paid Louis Gugliot- ti, 35, of 67 Wood street, who was severely injured May 16, 1893, when the bucket of the steam shovel he was operating in high way construction job, struck an unexploded charge of dynamite, the resultant detonation causing him to be thrown out of the cab.
 Copies of the agreement under which the local man will be paid, were approved to-day by Comnis- sioner James M. Lynch at the Wa. terbury office of the compensation court for the fifth congressional district. The respondent is the D. Arrigoni company of Middletown.
 Gugliotti, according to the infor- nation contained in the agreement was operating 8 large steam shovel in state highway project at East Berlin when the mishap occurred.
 When the bucket, which had the capacity to scoop a ton of earth, at a time, struck the two sticks of dynamite there was a terrific ex- plosion. An indication of the force of the charge is seen in the fact that the large scoop was blown to pieces and the cab overturned.
 Evidently the dynamite had failed to go off when the men, who were engaged in the excavation work, had set off the charge. Part of the charge had exploded and it was assumed that the entire amount had been spent.
 Two other workmen were fn- jured in the explosion. The earth in the immediate vicinity of the spot where the sticks were located was blown in all directions, carry ing sand, stones and dirt. A large, gaping hole was left in the spot.
 Gugiiotti was brought to the Middletown hospital where he spent some time. His claim for compensation was based on IS per cent loss of hearing in his left ear and 70 per cent loss of vision Ia the left eye.
 The agreement was signed hy Attorney Michael V. Biansheld, counsel for the claimant and m agent for tho insurer of the con- struction company.

HUNGARY SUPPORTS AUST RIA
Conferences End With Pledge of Former to
 Aid Independence
REGARDED AS STRIKING
 POLITICAL PROGRESS
ExpulsiOns of Hungarians Continue Contrary to
 Belgrade Reports

Budapest, Hungary, Decem- Der 15 = (UP) = A series of significant conversations be- tween Chancellor Kurt Schu- schnigg of Austria, and Pre- mier Julius Goemboes of Hungary was concluded today with announcement that Hun gary agrees to support the in- dependence of Austria.
 The announcement by Baron Egon Berger Waldenegg, foreign minister of Austria and Q member of Chancellor Schu- schnigg's party, was regarded here as a sensational development in the present phase of political ma neuvering in Central Europe.
 Refused Before
 Hungary hitherto steadily had refused to join in a declaration by Italy, France and Great Britain guaranteeing the political freedom of Austria.
 Baron Waldenegg's statement followed three days of conversa- tions in this center of European political tension which recently has been intensified by Hungary's dispute with Jugoslavia over ex- pulsion of Hungarians by the Bel grade government.
 Explosions Continue.
 Meanwhile, contrary to Belgrade ga1 plusions of Hungarians from Jugo- slavia in retaliation for alleged acts of Terrorism originating in Hun gary was continuing twenty-five Hungarians arrived at seized, on said they had been given three hours to leave Horgos.
 In reference to Hungary's att1- tude toward Austria, Baron Wal denegg said:
 Necessity Now.
 Hungary is now convinced Of the necessity of supporting Aus tria's independence and sovereignty
 "This has been one of the condi- tions for maintenance of peace and reorganization of economic life Of the Danubian region"
 TOLillCdA OpoCA NSAo 1S-S' SU action of Hungary would lead to a new effort toward an internation- al agreement guaranteeing the n- dependence of Austria.
 France and other powers have vigorously opposed talk of Ans chiuss'' or union between Ger many and Austria, which lost SC much territory as result of the World War that 1t has since been in a difficult economic position.
