JAPAN MINISTER
 EXCITES CABINET
Koki HirOta Says "EcO= homie Nervousness"
 Underlaid Policy

Tokio, Feb 1-CUP)-Koki Hir- ota, Japan's astute foreign minis ter, told members of the imperial Diet today that economic nerv ousness" of western nations un- derlaid "misunderstandirgs of Japan's policy in the Orient.
 Speaking during interpolations Of cabinet members by the Diet, Hirota regretted" the misunder- standings but said that the econ omic situation made explanations difficult.
 Previously Jinjiro Mizuno, mem; Der of the house Of peers, had claimed that Japan's foreign policy had isolated the empire with only one true friend" the new state of Manchukuo. Mizuno intimated that "differences between military leaders, was responsible for the situation.
 During the long interpretations directors of government depart ments explained and answered questions of naval and aircraft pol. icies and on the publication of in- fl@mmatory novels such as the Dream of War" seized at Hono- lulu by American customs authorl ties. .a
 Navy Minister Admiral Mineo Osumi and General Senjuro Haya :. shi, new minister of war, indicated to the house of peers that they were. opposed to merger of the naval and military air forces.
 Hirota and Kenkichi Yoshizawa. former foreign minister, indicated that Japan would seek revisions, probably upward, in the 5-5-3 na- val ratio.

Petition Recorded
 In Superior Court
 Shows Odd Status
Proceedings Entered By Marshall Van Deusen Against Mary Hager Van Deusen - Petitioner Alleges
 Wife's First Husband Not Dead as Believed

The wisdom of Solomon might be necessary to straighten out the marital tangle included in the an- nulment proceedings filed in su- perior court here today by Marshall Van Deusen of this city against Mary Hager Van DeuseIi, also known as Mary Hager Mess. The ramihcations of the case have an Enoch Arden angle.
 The petitioner states in his com plaint, prepared by Attorney Irving w. Pasternak, that he was married to the defencant April IF, 1929. It was his first marriage and &C., cording to the petitioner he was given to believe that the defend- ants husband, Frederick William Mess was dead.
 On July 19,. 1892, MT Mess re- turned to Waterbury to find his wife married! He had been away 10 years and his wife believed him dead.
 The defendant, Mrs Van Deusen. went to a lawyer to secure a di- vorce from MT Mess, on grounds of desertion, believing it would make her second marriage legal. She was informed it would not.
 MT Van Deusen now brings an action, asking that his marriage be annulled. It is .returnable to. court next month but must wait 90 days before hearing.
 Three other divorce actions were filed also. Edward R. Hotchkiss wants a divorce from Emily, Hotch- kiss of East Hartford, alleging concealment of facts. Mabel smith asks a decree from Burr Smith on cruelty grounds.

WALTER WELLMAN, ACE FLYER, IS DEAD
First Man to Try Trans Atlantic Dirigible Flight
 Passes Away at 75

New York, Feb. 1-(UP)-Wal- ter Wellman, first man to attempt a transatlantic dirigible flight and the Lindbergh of his decade, is dead. He retired a number of years ago and the retirement was so complete that his death was not generally known until today, al- though he died yesterday. He was 75 years old.
 Wellman first won fame as an Arctic explorer and it was his un- successful attempt to cross the Att lantic in the dirigible America in 1910, that gripped the imagination of the nation as widely as when York to Paris.
 The America was crude in eX- treme compared to the latter day zeppelin type dirigibles. It was 228 feet long. Two motors of 80 horse- power each propelled the ship and one of 10 horsepower served as a donkey engine. The most startling feature of the America was her equilibrator which trailed in the water and was designed to keep the ship at an average height of 200 feet.
 This device succeeded only ir wrecking the America when she was 72 hours at sea. She had travelled north. then doubled back, hoping to reach Bermuda, but end- ed her voyage when she sighted the S. s. Trend 400 miles off Hat teras. She had travelled 1,008 miles.
 Tn 1892, Wellman discovered Columbus's first landfall on this continent on San Salvador. In 1894, he failed to reach the North Pole on foot. A similar expedition in 1S98-1899 likewise failed. He made two attempts to reach the pole in a dirigible, one in 1907, the other in 1909. and both failed. He gave up Polar exploration after Peary reached the Pole in 1909.
 From 1884, to 1911, he was Washington correspondent for the Chicago Herald and the Chicago Record Herald. He eventually gave up journalism to devote all his time to exploration. He was an intimate friend of President Harding and devoted his last ac- tive years to world peace. Wellman is survived by his wife, one daughter. and two sons. Death was caused by cancer of the liver

Halcyon Snow Storm
 Causes No Trouble
Telephone, Light Power, and Bus Companies Are
 Experiencing No Difficulties

Smooth falling snow covered all Waterbury early this afternoon to a depth of about an inch. Connec- ticut Light & over company of- ficials and those of the Southern New England Telephone company reported no trouble, due to the mildness of the storm, and up 70 shortly after noon the Connecti- cut company. the Short Line Bus company and the Southern New England Transportation company, which is subsidiary of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- road company, had experienced no trouble in keeping up their res- pective schedules.
 Traffic, however, in various parts of Waterbury was congested as many autoists were caught with out chains and were retarded in their travel along hilly thorough fares. On Union street, for instance, autos stopped for the red light at the corner of South Elm street found it impossible to proceed and a long line of cars resulted, reach ing all along Union street down to South Main street. The traffic jam was finally cleared, but not with out much effort and delay on the part of policemen and operators of cars. Similar situations were evident throughout the city.
 The snow began falling at ap- proximetely 7:55 a. m. By that time most persons using their cars to get to work had already arrived at their destinations. Upon at- tempting to get home this noon in their autos they were forced to fight slippery conditions because they lacked chains on their tires. The focal bus agencies took im- mediate steps early this morning to equip their vehicles with chains as soon as the first signs of snow appeared, hence the adherence to regular schedules.
 Trolley cars were severely taxed this noon hour by many who usu- ally use their autos or walk to and from their homes for the midday luncheon. A great number of those who drove cars to work this morn- ing rode home at noon on busses or trolleys.
 The temperature at 7:S0 o'clock this morning was 35 degrees above. It. dropped, however, and at noon the mercury showed 32 degrees.

Boston, Feb. t.-(UP).-While handwriting experts studied "pois- on pen" letters, police sought to- day to connect a grocer's delivery boy with the unsolyed breadknife staying of pretty 17-year-old Ethel Zuckerman.
 The girls body was found the might of December 20 in the South End delicatessen where she clerked, pinned to the floor by a long, bladed knife thrust through her throat.
 An argument with a Roxbury storekeeper over 25 cents resulted yesterday in the arrest of Charles T. Jones, 20, of Roxbury, who, police learned, delivered. groceries in the South End the day Ethel was slain. Following the argument the storekeeper received a threatening letter, and this led to Jones' ar. rest.

AUSTRALIA ON
 RECOVERY ROAD
First Country to Feel the Depression, Ahead of
 Others Now

Ithaca, N. Y. (UP)-Australia, the first country to feel the depres- sion, is now further on the road to recovery than any other nation, pr D. B. Cop1and, professor of com merce at the University of Mel bourne, said in a lecture here.
 pr Copland, who was fiscal ad- wiser to the Australian government during the depression and also eco- homie adviser to his country's dele gation at the London Economic conference last summer, said that that the adoption two years ago of monetary policy similar to the Warren plan was responsible for the recovery in Australia.
 We didn't start two years too late, like some other countries" he said. We started at a place where there was no difficulty in telling which road to take. That road was depreciation of the currency; price of gold is better tactical way Of putting it.
 Soon after raising the the price of gold to correspondent to $3S an ounce in United States currency, pr Copland said,. Australia obtained better exports and a better national income. Export prices are now only 25 per cent below their 1928 level, he said.
 Bank deposits and credits are now higher in Australia than at any time before the depression, Dr Copland declared. He added that government revenue automatically increased without corresponding increase in government costs, which were pared down to a mini mum during the depression.
 Consequently, he said, Australia was able last October to declare a |stfbstantiai reduction in taxation.s
