STATE TO OPERATE MATTRESS PLANTS
EZRA Funds to Support Work No Factory
 for Waterbury

Although the state Emergency
 Relief committee voted approval
 of the proposed EZRA mattress
 factories at a meeting held yester-
 day at Hartford, neither of the
 two plants will be located in this
 city, as was at first believed.
 One of the shops will be set up in New Haven, and the second will probably be situated in Bridgeport, it was announced. Each will have
 capacity of 30 mattresses a week, and will be operated by personnel paid through ZEBRA funds. It was thought that one of the plants would be set up here because of the facilities available for the work. The commission has decided not to sponsor any canning plants, feeling that sufficient surplus does not exist in the state to justify a
 state-wide program. The sugar
 made available by Federal author | ities for this purpose will be util- ized in communities where sufii- cient surplus exists to justify indi- Ividual canning projects.

GENOA, Italy, April 9.-Mrs. Thalia
Fortescue Massie told the wife of the
American consul at Genoa yesterday
that there will be no more attempts
at committing suicide.
II won't try it again." she told Mrs.
John r. Putnam, who was allowed to
interview her by the doctor in charge
Of the hospital where Mrs. Massie IS
recuperating.
Young Mrs. Massie, principal in
the Honolulu attack and murder case
Of two years ago, was confined to a
hospital for nervous ailments last
Thursday when the liner Roma
brought her here.
DR.. Darrio Borelli, director of the
hospital, was quoted as saying she was
too agitated yet to permit an early
prediction of her condition"
Stitches Removed.
He revealed the stitches taken in
her wrists after she had attempted
Suicide aboard the Roma were re-
moved yesterday.
DR.. Borell said Mrs. Massie insisted
at first that she would do 1t again
at the first opportunity" because OF
her regret at having got a divorce
from my husband
At first she was kept under guard,
hut today was allowed to stroll in the
gardens surrounding the hospital. DR..
Borelli continued to insist that none
but consular authorities should see
her.
1t was learned today, however, that
she had expressed wonder why they
should keep me here" when talking
to hospital attendant.
DR., Borelli said Mrs. MaSsie had a
good appetite, but 'she smokes all
day long, and this does not help her
problem any,"
Hospital attendants said Mrs. Mas
sic was evidently mystified because
officials at the hospital have not per-
riitted her to continue her Mediter-
ranean cruise.
Refers to Affair.
IT was said that she had referred
several times to the Honolulu affair,
recalling that this was about the time
OF the anniversary Of the occurrences
that led to the sensational court trial
Mrs. Massie yesterday requested an
Italian-E dictionary and began
brushing up on Italian.
DR.. Borelli's hospital consists of
three villas containing several hun
dred patients. A high, pink plaster
wall topped by three feet Of barbed
wire surrounds the garden in which
Mrs. MaSsie walked.
An attendant said that she answers
all questions and engages brightly in
conversations, but when she ceases
talking her face drops and signs of
n1elanchoHa become evident. DR.. Bo-
relli continued to insist that she
must remain in the hospital for
several weeks.
