Resolution Starts It

A resolution adopted by the John Collins Post, No. A, of Derby Will bring the matter officially before the district meeting for action. If favorable vote is taken, the sub feet will be listed for a decision at the coming state convention, which will be held in Stamford in August.
 Locally, it is the opinion of vet. erans that the government VIII some day take action to relieve the burden now being carried by the ex-service men. If the interest Is charged 1t is more than likely that when the day for the bonus to De paid, thousands of veterans Will have little or nothing coming 10 them. The interest will absorb the principal for like others the former service men have been out or em- ployment and have experienced d1f- ficulty in "getting by.

 If the state convention takes fa- vorable action it will be a matter of form to memoralize Connecticut members in Congress for action. The movement is expected to be- come nationwide in scope and may eventually be contested on the floor of a national convention.

HEALTH HONORS TO BE DECIDED
Rural Sections to Combat for Laurels in Contest
 Being Arranged

Rural sections will be able this year to enter into a nationwide contest for highest ;honors in pub- lie health work much in the man ner that the cities of the country have been competing during the past five years, the state depart ment of health announced today in it's weekly bulletin. In the urban contest, Connecticut communities have been among the leaders each year, New Haven, Hartford and West Hartford sharing the high honors.
 The inter-city contest was inau- gurated in 1929 by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in cooperation with the American Public Health association for the purpose of studying health activt- ties and health needs in order to bring greater progress in the con- servation of public health. In each city, a committee of cit izen members of various interests was formed with the health officer as ex-officio member to place at the disposal of the committee data
  public health and to point out ex- isting local conditions influencing these. The work entailed the com pletion of a fact-finding schedule which would give the national committee true picture of public health work in each community.
 About one-fourth of the entire population of the United States js by the cities which compete each year. The work not ony serves to promote interest in public health, but likewise to fur nish yardstick by which each city may compare itself with others of it's size and by by it may measure its own progress.
 The rural health conservation contest will follow a similar plan and will be applicable to rural whoe-time counties or district health units. Its aim will be to Jeff feet definite improvements in health conditions, educate the pub lie in disease prevention and de- crease the life loss of the area"

DEDHAM BANDITS

Dedham, Mass, March 14.-(UP)
 -Murton and Irving Millen appar-
 ently were without defense .coun-
 sel today, 12 days before they are
 scheduled to go on trial with Abra-
 ham M. (Abe) Faber on charges of murdering two policemen ana attempting to murder two other men in the Needham Trust com-
 pany robbery.
 The brothers gave a note to their father, Joseph w. Millen, 1n-
 forming him that they no longer wanted the services of Albert k. Mackusick, white-haired lawyer who had represented them since their capture in New York several weeks ago. Previously, former District Attorney George Stanley Harvey of Middlesex county, who became temporarily associated with Mackusick last weekend, an- nounced his withdrawal from the case. Apparently because of the con- fusion over the Millen's defense, Attorney William R. Scharton an- nounced that he would file 8 mo- ton for a separate trial for his client, Faber. Scharton also plan- ned to file new motions for post ponement of the trial, scheduled for March 26, and will ask that the state pay for the services of pr Abraham Myerson, noted alien ist retained to report on Faber's sanity.
 Mackusick busied himself today on the assumption that he was still counsel for the Mullens, and was reportedly eeking prominent +xia lo Vuuoy~ tn acafaf 11frn yUna reported that Haravey might con- sent to reenter the case if he were formally appointed by the court at the request of the Millens.

 were increased to 250 yesterday
 when Superior Judge Nelson P. Brown ordered two special venires totaling 100 men called. A week ago a regular venire of 160 was
 called.
 Drs l.. Vernon Briggs and Earl K. Holt, state a1ienists, spent about three hours examining the three capital defendants. pr Myereon spent like time in examining Faber, Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduate and reputed

 Attempting to aid prisoner to escape. (Sentence: Case filed.)
 Carrying revolver, to which he had pleaded guilty. (Sentence: 4 1-2 to 5 years.)
 Superior Judge William A. Burns directed that the sentences be serv- ed successiyely. But for the fact that the jury modified It's verdict on the first indictment, finding Kaminski guilty of assault with a dangerous weapon instead of with intent to murder, the defendant might have received an even more severe penalty.
 The attempted bombing of the courtroom and shooting Of SherIfr Manning occurred during the mur-' der trial of Kaminskis younger brother, Alexander, and Paul Wargo of Wa1lingford, Conn. Alex andcr is awaiting death in the clec- tric chair.
 The verdicts left the stolid Kam- inski unmoved.
 In asking for severe sentences District Attorney Thomas F. Mori- arty declared that Kaminski "ex- posed III open CouTI iio ulIcA NS'' ance of the law and it's enforce- ment agencies"
 "It calls for. severity" said the prosecutor. "There is no possibil. ity for reformation in this fellows case. He will continue to carry the rancor toward officers of the law which he carried out in this court room. ."
 Kaminski stood in silence while the sentences were being read, in- terrupting only once to ask the clerk of court:
 q beg your pardon. What was that second charger"
 The clerk explained 1t was for carrying explosives.
 'Thank you," replied the defend- ant.
 In discharging the jury, Judge Burns observed:
 '"The court thanks you for your services in these cases. l was somewhat disturbed and surprised at the length of time you remain ed to arrive at the verdicts. Never theless, you have arrived at the verdicts and on behalf of the coun- ty I thank you and you are now ex- cused from further service"

Swollen with gold by the war,
the prof1teers increased their pow

In few months, perhaps in a
few weeks, we may be precipitated
into a great catastrophe. Whether
this catastrophe will be initiated by
japanese imperialism in the Far
East, or by German fascism in Eu-
rope, 1t will inevitably become a
world war.
We sound the alarm! All women
have deep desire to fight against
war and fascism, and all, without
distinction, recognize that the U. S.
S. r. has given the example for
the emancipation Of women. There
has sprung up in the Soviet Union
a cultural and social upsurge with
out precedent in history. There
women have access to all profess
sions, to all activities, and they have
the same rights and the same du-
ties as the men who work with
them in the building Of new hap
Ply social order.
That is why the women Of the
entire world must join with their
men and women comrades in the
Soviet Union. and fight energeti-
cally against every policy of agrees
sion against the Soviet Union by
Japanese, German, or any other i'm
perialism.
We. call to guard all those who
can hear us, because we clearly see
that the life and future of the peo-
pies are at stake in 1894 Just as
they were in 1914, and even more
than in 1914. We can place no con-
fidence in the pacific declarations
of the capitalist governments, while
these governments, far from pro-
hibiting or restricting the traffic in
arms, rather encourage it and null
tiply it; while they Cypress and
desolate the colonial peoples, and
silence their demands for freedom
by bullets, by bombs, by the axe
and the gallows; while they arm in
stead of disarming.
We, the women, we see humanity
threatened by an unprecedented ca
lamity.
1t is our duty to oppose it, to
place ourselves against 1t. This is
our mission.
We know that this all too def
mite calamity which is taking shape
around us can only be avoided by
concerted and powerful movement,
by a mass movement of the women
Of all countries and all social strata
who suffer from war and from fas-
cisn1, of women of all political and
religious tendencies, who, side by
side with men, must wage a con-

where, so that the bond of Socialism
should embrace the entire world"
AS the Congress progressed we
realized that we had achieved a
genuine united front, not for the
record alone, but in every possible
way, to unite all kinds of women in
organized action after the Confer
ence.
Pacifist and feminist women
said, I'VE now realize that we can
never have peace, and that women
can never gain their freedom until
we have abolished fascism and war"
Tell Of Soviet Achievements
The most tremendous force to-
ward this unity of purpose was the
influence of the ten women from
the Soviet Union. Stassova, Kir-
sanova, workers, and scientists, the
heroic woman of the Chelyuskin ex-
pedition-all of them, really free
women, with their ringing words,
challenging the entire Congress to
rouse itself, expressing their VIC
tories, industrial achievements, cul-
tural developments.
After their great speeches the en-
tire Congress was modified into
one great force, and voted together,
unanimously, for the resolutions,
and the manifesto, embodying the
principles and purposes and future
action of the Congress.
There are so many sides of this
Congress that should be given to all
readers of the Daily Worker; other
articles will be written following
this. The next article will deal with
the large English delegation, led by
Comrade Pollitt, the address of the
Argentine delegate, and some of the
practical proposals made by the
American delegates for future ac-
ton.
Our entire American delegation
will keep on giving out all possible
information, inspiration, all we
gained from this virtually significant
World Congress of Women.
