Economic System To Function" Says Pres Roosevelt
SAYS DEL. DIMOND
 RECOVERING
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PreSS)
 WASHINGTON, Nov. Is = Dr. R. J. Conlon said that Delegate An thony J. Dimond was apparently on the road to recovery.
 He is still very ill, and we are not allowing anyone to see him. His condition is greatly improved and I believe that he will soon be all right The bloodclots seem to be clearing up nicely" said the doctor, when asked for a special bulletin on the delegates condition.
 It is unfortunate that the Delegate was forced to undergo this opera tion just on the eve of preparing for the opening of Congress. Prior to the day when Congress opens it's doors, much work is necessarily taken care of building up the pro- per approaches for introducing bills and accomplishing things. How ever, MT. Dimond will soon be talk ing care of Alaska's business in much the same manner as in the past.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. Is = Dr. R. J. Conlon said this afternoon that Delegate Dimond twas very much better, and I consider him out of danger"
 Dimond became critically ill Mon day when blood clots formed while recuperating from his operation. Dr. Conlon said that clots since, had been clearing up satisfactorily

X-Ray Drive in Connecticut Reveals 59o of Children
 "Suspicious" us"-State Heads Urge Prompt Attention

indicated by the findings, and ex- animation of other members of the family. The x-ray reading is not necessarily a diagnosis, so the in- vestigation by the physician is needed to determine if the suspi- cious shadows are really caused by tuberculous infection and what sort of treatment should be pur- sued.
 Therefore; Dr Knowlton urged parents of children whose x-rays are reported among the suspicious ones should not delay in bringing them to the family physician who will point out the procedures for the best interests of the child and the other members of the family. He also urged parents who have not yet had their children x-rayed to get in touch with their local health officer immediately and make arrangements for pictures.

McGinnis. in command of the squadron, reported that all was well.
 The situation changed swiftly as the planes sped steadily westward. At the 1,123-mile mark, reached at 400 a. m. P.S.T., Admiral w.. R. Johnson, commander of the air forces attached to the U. s. battle fleet, inouired about location of the planes.
 Flight commander McGinnis re- piled that he and three others planes were flying together and that the 10-P-4 and the 10-P-5 were flying "about 40 miles ahead of us." The 10-P-4 was piloted by It, T. D. Quinn, Atlanta, Ga.. who was the first to leave the water at the take-off here. The other ship was piloted by Perry who had been in trouble around midnight.
 Johnson was on his flagship, the U. S. s. Wright, about 600 miles from Honolulu. He had informed McGinnis earlier that the weather for the last lap would be ideal"
 Especially aiding the flyers in the final stages was an east wind that ranged in velocity from "A to 76 miles an hour. It greatly en- hanced their speed.
 At 6:O0 a. m. (P.S.T.) the posi- ton report from the planes showed that they were within 836 nautical miles of their goal and were aver aging about 83 knots (100 miles) per hour.
 Hourly radio reports from squad ron VP-1O indicated that "all was we'll" with the six flying boats and the 30 ment who took off with great difficulty from Placid Para disc Cove in San Francisco Bay yesterday afternoon. Their goal was Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, 2,15O nautical miles away.
 Through the early hours or the daring flight the twin-motored planes maintained a speed of '1O3 land miles per hour. At that rate, it was estimated that they would reac htheir destination by 10:OO a. m. Honolulu time (3:30 p. m. E.S.T.)
 For the last half of their jour ney, the navy flyers were promised clear weather and a tail wind that would increase their speed.
 Six hundred miles and six hours out from the California shore, thin whisps of fog obscured the glassy Pacific. The formation split to avoid collisions. McGinnis messag- ed the U. s. S. Schenck, standing by, on the surface, to turn on it's flood lights.
 The great searchlights pierced the murky atmosphere and guided the planes into clear weather again. The planes resumed forma-

DAMAGE SUIT OF $lO,OOO FOR THE
 DEATH OF GIRL
Albert Matasavage and Waterbury Nash Co. Are
 Named Defendants

Albert Matasavage of this city and the Waterbury Nash Co are named defendants in a $10,000 civil suit instituted to-day in the supe- rior court by Ann Cheskus of New Britain, administrative of the es- tate of her sister, Adeline Cheskus, who was killed in Wallingford while riding in a car Matasavage was driving.
 The suit seeks to recover for the death of Adeline. The complaint says Adeline was riding in a car owned by the Nash company which Albert Matasavage was contem- plating buying. It was 1850 p. m. of December 11th that the car was proceeding along the Boston post road when it ran into a truck owned by the George B. Holman Co of Rutherford, N. J.
 The New Jersey company and the truck driver, Peter Christiano of Moonahie, N. J., are also named defendants in the complaint on the grounds that the truck was negli- gently parked partly on the trav- eled portion of the road without lights that were sufficient to give warning.
 When the car struck the parked truck the girl passenger was se- verely injured, suffering a frac- tured leg and numerous internal injuries which caused her death. The papers in the suit were pre- pared by Attorney A. F. Politis of Hartford and were served by Dep uty Sheriff John Jenusaitis of Wa terbury on the local defendants.
 The case is returnable to the Hartford superior court next month.

preferred by an officer who mare the arrest, 1t was necessary to book him.
 The court, while admiring the sergeant's frankness was moved to remark that in the future all desk officers should not hesitate a mo- ment in deciding whether or not a patrolman's charges against a pris- oner could be substantiated in court. If he felt that a policeman was inclined to exaggerate a mans condition in the excitement of an arrest, he should refuse to record the charges.
 It has been the custom in police circles to accept a policeman's complaint without any attempt to modify it, but in the future it is likely that the desk officers will exercise more initiative. Superin- tendent of Police Joseph H. Me- Lean has held the same opinion for years.
 The case of George Whetstone, 55, of High street, Thomaston, was continued until tomorrow morning. He is also charged with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor.
 Nolles were entered in the cases of William Miller, 59, and Edward Miller, 22 of 19 Wood street. It was a family argument in which father and son held divided opin- ions on the. choice of young Mil- ler's associates. The evidence was heard sometime ago and the cases were continued until today to de- termine whether the two could maintain the peace.

BANK ROBBER IS KILLED IN DUEL
 WITH OFFICERS
Red Carson Shot it Out in the Streets and is
 Dead

Wellington, Kan, Jan 11.-(UP) Red Carson, suspected Okla homa bank robber, was shot to death on the streets today in a pistol battle with three officers.
 Sheriff Jess Harrison was shot in the arm during the furious ex- change in front of the Atlas hotel, where the suspect spent the night.
 After an exchange of 25 or 30 shots a bullet fired by H. C.. Haimes, acting police chief, inf1ict- ed a mortal wound on Carson.
 Carson, wanted for questioning in the robbery of the bank at Will low Springs, Okla, last Thursday, and sought as a fugitive who es- capped from the Pawhuska, Okla, jail several weeks ago, was seen here last night.
 Officers noticed that he was stay ing at the Atlas hotel. They made no move to indicate the suspects presence in town was known. Early today Sheriff Harrison, acting Police Chief Haimes and Under Sheriff Geary Holt went to the hotel and waited in front.
 Shortly after 9 a. m. Carson emerged from the hotel.
 up with your hands," com- manded Sheriff Harrison.
 Carson paused a moment, then reached for his .45 caliber pistol.
 The three officers and the suspect stood out in the open face to face, exchanging shots. Then they took cover behind automobiles and started sniping at each other.
 Haimes' shot killed the suspect.
 Officers then arrested a woman whose identity was not learned im- mediately. She had accompanied Carson to the hotel, police said.

clans, will not survive her trial, a nurse was at her side as the sen- sational trial opened.
 Hundreds of boisterous curiosity seekers stormed through corridors of the criminal court building seeking admission to the trial. Eff ty police and plainclothes officers were rushed to the scene to clear the corridors.
 At Dr Wynekoop's side as her dramatic trial opened were her son, Walker Wynekoop, and her daughter, Dr Catherine Wynekoop. The two young people, their faces grave and concerned, spoke words of encouragement to their mother as proceedings got under way.
 pr Wynekoop herself, dressed neatly in black and black felt hat and heavily yelled, clutched a handkerchief in her hand and spoke only few words to w. w.. Smith, assistant counsel.
 Judge David, small and swarthy, wasted no time in starting pro- ceedings. Within five minutes he had sworn the prospective jurors and started the task of selecting the 12 men and women who will determine whether pr Wynekoop brutally shot and chloroformed her attractive young daughter-in-law to death last November. As the trial was called at the bar of Judge Joseph B. David s austere courtroom, the frail, old woman was fighting the inexorable progress of disease which she predicted would soon cause her death.
 So precarious was her health that even at the last moment fears were expressed that the ordeal would prove too great and force another postponement.
 The drama of the states effort to fix the blame for the mysterious staying of Rheta November 21, was heightened by guarded predictions of counsel for Dr Wynekoop of "sensations".
 "There will be no scenes in this case," he warned defense counsel. Frank Tyrrell and w. W. Smith and assistant states attorney, Charles Dougherty. He forbade bringing Dr Wynekoop into the courtroom in wheeled-chair or stretcher.
 If she's unable to walk into the court, the trial will be postponed until she can," he ruled. His close application of the law has caused attorneys to nickname his court "a second law school" pr Wynekoop face the trial without trepidation. In the hours before her appearance she rested calmly on her cot in the jail hos pital ward. She amused herself bv reading current issues of sev- eral women's magazines. TO her few visitors she said:
 "I didn't kill Rheta. ! ioveo her. I don't know who did it. She Is suffering from agterio- scierosls.

Reading of the first 5,600 of the 10000 x-ray pictures taken of Connecticut school children in last falls statewide campaign to make early diagnosis of tuberculosis cases shows that approximately five percent have at least "sus- piciotis" x-ray shadows, 1t was re- ported by Dr Willard Knowlton, director of the Bureau of Prevent able Diseases of the State Depart ment of Health. in the depart ment's weekly broadcast today.
 This percentage, derived from figures compiled by Dr Cole B. Gibson, superintendent of the Un- dercliff Sanatorium, indicates that about 1,500 of the 30,000 children examined will be referred to their family physicians for investigation and study, Dr Knowlton said.
 He explained, however, that the group reported upon was an ur- ban group and that percentage or tuberculosis infection among rural children is usually not so great. On the other hand, he said, the group consisted of grammar school children and 1t is expected that high school children will show a higher percentage of evidence of the disease, so that the proportions found in the first $500 were not definitely indicative of the final results.
 The campaign has two very im- portant objectives, Dr Knowlton said, first, the discovery of tuber- culosis in children and their early treatment; second, the discovery and elimination of the source Of infection. Family physicians to whom the readings of the x-ray will be referred will make thor ough studies of each case, inciud- ing thorough physical examina- ton, the history of the case. the determination of the procedures

 sent the five men now under ar- rest to regain the liquor. They not only hijacked the liquor, po- lice said, but demanded, under. a threat of death, that Benson give them the mony he had obtained from Grossman. Benson gave them 8 portion of it and promised the remainder if they would visit his home last night.
 Meanwhile police learned about it. hid in the house, and trapped the alleged extortionists.
 A copy of Tato's local police record, a rather impressive one, was forwarded to Worcester today by Captain William P. Keegan Of the detective bureau. Since 19OS as a youngster when he was taken into custody for truancy, Tato has been arrested 12 times. He has been tried on charges of breach or the peace, assault and robbery, theft, frequenting a gambling house and evading responsibility. His two most important arrests were in connection with an at- tempt to intimidate the owner or an East Main street cigar store. It was alleged that Tato and a companion walked into the estab- lishment with their hands thrust in their pockets in such fashion as to suggest that they were carry ing guns. They attempted to seize some policy receipts. They claimed in the course of trial that they wanted the slips to prove to the authorities that policy was being played in many places about the city.
 Tato was arrested in connection with an attempt to blackmail the late John Sullivan. Detectives con- cealed in the Sullivan residence heard the evidence over a dicta. phone and made the arrests. Al that time Tato claimed that he had merely called to "borrow" n few dollars. He was committed tt jaiI for sixty days with two com panions from Massachusetts. They were released before they could complete their sentences wneI friends interceded for them. The Authorities here suspect the young man of other offenses, but have nc definite proof on which to file act ual charges.

mutual aid office were shifted back from the CWA payroll to the mu- tual aid payroll.
 This action was taken by MT Har- ris today as the result of ruling delivered to him yesterday to the effect that the work being per- formed by the mutual aid store ana the girls in the office was not or a nature to warrant them being paid out of CWA funds.
 The men in the mutual aid store, rather than go back on the mutual aid payroll and take considerably reduced pay, agreed to shift 10 labor work under the CWA. MT Harris stated that he had hopes or solving the problem for the girls on the staff of the mutual aid office but that in the meantime they will have to get along on the ald payroll and remain off the CWA list due to the ruling of the higher officials. They, too, go back to low CT pay as the wages under the mutual aid are much smaller.
 TO take the place of the men shifted out of the mutual aid store to the CWA payroll today, MT Harris called in several men from the mutual aid crew working at Calvary cemetery. He stated that he regretted the governments ruling because he was originally author ized to shift the mutual aid em- ployes on to the CWA payroll and must now shift them back to where they were. However, the govern ment was productive of work car ried out and allows for little or no office jobs.
