Delegates Met To-day
 70 Discuss Germany
Twelve Nations We're Represented at the Session in LOndOn-They Talked Over the Boycott and
 Other Means of Punishment

London, Nov. 26--(UP)-Dele- gates of F nations, including Jews, Roman Catholics and Protes- tants, met today under the chair manship of Samuel Untermeyer O. New York at the opening session of the international boycott con- ference, aimed chiefly at Germany.
 The meeting passed a resolution presented by Untermeyer, estab- fishing an organization to be known as the world non-sectarian anti-Nazi council to champion hu- man rights.
 A resolution presented by Philip Guedalla was passed, expressing determination to "co-operate with organizations and persons of every creed and race who are making efforts to ensure just treatment for all German subjects without distinction"
 The conference named two com mittees to study means of achiev- ing cooperation and listened to addresses by Walter Citrine, Unter- meyer, Paul Teissonieres of Bel gium and Richara Beamish and Mrs Mark Harris of the United States. All made fervent pleas for cooperation to further the anti Nazi boycott.

 Untermeyer in his speech said:
 "Short of war which migh: we'll mean the end of civilization there is no effective weapon except a refusal of the world to deal with Germany"
 Untermeyer's resolution provides for enforcement of worldwide ec- onomic sanctions against Germany until either the Hitler regime has been driven from power by the force of world opinion expressed in its economic isolation" or until it restores the rights and properties of organized labor, reinstates re- ligious freedom, repeals anti-Jew- ish legislation, ceases persecution and discrimination" against Jews, restores the status of the property of Masonic lodges and reinstates the rights and privileges of wo- manhood.
 The resolution provides for the raising of a preliminary fighting fund of $150,000.

CLAIMS COURT TO HAVE HEARING
 THIS EVENING
Board of Aldermen Will Listen to Arguments
 on Both Sides

Hearing on the proposal to es- tablish a small claims court in Wa terbury will take place tonight in the aldermanic chamber of the City Hall before the members of the board of aldermen sitting as committee of the whole. Alderman Peter Griffin, president of tke board, will preside. Representatives of the various local service clubs will appear to support the proposal calling for establishment of the new court while, according to very good information, many members of the bar will enter objections.
 The hearing, which is expected to draw a capacity attendance, will open at o'clock. According to the statutes, the aldermen may by or dinance establish a small claims court which is limited to handling claims amounting to less than $1OO. In most cases the small claims court are handled by one of the city court judges with two or three sessions weekly. Those with bills to collect and those against whom claims are made do not have to hire lawyers but ap- pear jointly before the small claims court judge, state their case and thus avoid hiring counsel, fil- ing briefs and paying other ex- penses, such as sheriff's fees that ordinarily accompany suits for small sums now.
 Those sponsoring the plan feel that it will save money for the poor people. Those opposing claim that it will make a collection agency out of the court and give many persons a chance to persecute those owing them small bills be- cause they will not be faced with the exceptional expenses. To- nights hearing is expected to be a most interesting one, therefore.
