Copyright, 1884, by the United
 PreSs)
 Washington, March 2-(UP)--ID the little more than nine months since the creation of the federal emergency relief administrations, the lives of millions of men. women and children have been relieved of hardships resulting from unern- ployment.
 More than $500, 000, 1000 of fed eral funds have been spent for this relief. E. In addition to the grants of money to the states by the FEDA. the Federal Surplus Relief corpor- ation has distributed huge quanti- ties of commodities purchased from market surpluses.
 The important item is not the cost, but the fact that this winter was not like the last for the vic- tims of unemployment who through no fault of their. own were without the means 0f~self support.

Great Britain Makes Disarn ament Offer
Throws Down Challenge to All Nations in Europe
 Either Disarm or Enter Race for Building of Huge Air1eets
By HARRY FLORY (COpyright. 1884, by Pnited PresS5

London, March 2-UP)-An of ficial American source informed the United Press today that Pres ident Roosevelt was eager to have a world non-aggression treaty ef- fected simultaneously with, or par allel to, any disarmament agree ment.
 This desire, the informant said was behind the American proposal made this week in reply to . British disarmament memoran- dunn, that signatories to any dis- armament agreement pledge them selves to refrain from sending armed forces across their neigh bors' borders.
 It was explained that the Pres ident was convinced that besides limiting, or abolishing. large of fensive weapons it was essential to insure that remaining armaments were not used for invasion.
 This news came few minutes after Great Britain, in publishing it's air force estimates for 1934- 1885. offered Europe clear choice between reaching a disarmament agreement and matching her in vast expenditures on aerial arma- ments.

SHERIFF SITS IN
 WHEEL CHAIR
 GIVE TESTIMONY
Springfield Official Who Was Wounded in Trial
 of Two Conn Boys

Springfield, Mass, March D. (UP)-Sheriff David J. Manning sitting in a wheel chair, today re- stunned his. testimony as principal government witness in the trial of Alexander Kaminski, B. and Paul Wargo, 21, Connecticut youths charged with murdering a turnkey in escaping from Hampden coun- ty jail last October. Extraordinary guard was maintained in the court room today and the ban on rela- tives of the defendants was contin- ued. as result of the action of John Kaminski, 26, brother of Alexander, in wounding Manning and tossing a bomb at adjourn ment Wednesday in an effort to free the accused men.
 At the county Jail. where the older Kaminski is held on four charges for the May grand jury. a guard found dozen small sections of a bandsaw blade secreted in Kaminsky's high-topped shoes. Ap- parently anticipating that he might be captured in his attempt to free the defendants, he had laid plans to escape from confinement.
 M3OnlnS was tO Icldlc tOudy tIlS conversation he says he had with Alexander Kaminski after the fugi- tive was captured in Virginia last November. Yesterday the sheriff told of talks he had with Wargo, who was captured a few hours after he and Kaminski allegedly beat Guard Merritt w. Hayden to death in escaping from the Spring field jail.
 Wargo told him. Manning said, that he was not alongside Kamin- ski when Hayden was battered in- sensible with a heavy joist, but that at that moment he was busy saving the bar of window in the prison workshop. Wargo alleged ly admitted that he stole Hayden's keys. so that he and Kaminski could escape through the window of tower room from which Hay den had just descended into the WOrkShOD

MUTUAL AID MAY DECIDE TO KEEP
 ON WITH DUTIES
Meeting Will Be Held This Afternoon to Decide
 on the Matter

Whether or not to discontinue the Mutual Aid System in Water- bury on May 1st or start steps im- mediately to procure new pledges to extend the plan three or four months, further, will be the ques- tion discussed this afternoon at a special meeting of the Mutual Aid committee in the office of Mayor Frank Hayes. In view of the pres- ent doubtful condition of the gov the date when the CWA appropri- ations expire, this afternoons ses- sion is expected to be of great in- terest and importance to all of the local federal workers and the other unemployed residents.
 The meeting was scheduled to take. place at 3 o'clock. There is now a temporary order suspending collection of pledges to the Mutual Aid indefinitely. The present pledges run out on May 1st. The CWA work is also scheduled to end collapsing, it is feared that the un-
  become acute.
 Already lay-off of CWA em- ployes has been started here, ef- fective on Monday. If the pres ident's new relief program is not adequate to take care of the local unemployed, the Mutual Aid is likely to have to resume collection of pledges and the issuance of new pledges starting from May 1st.
 No definite action on the matter is expected at this afternoons spe- cial meeting of the executive board of the Mutual Aid, members of the committee said to-day. However. the subject will be gone over very thoroughly and it is possible that a sub committee will be picked to bring in a report a week hence.
 The number of persons on the Mutual Aid list as of last Monday was similar to the total of a week previous. However, with 200 per- sons being dropped this coming Monday. added requests for aid here from the Mutual Aid are an- ticipated.
 However, e,e Mutual Aid does not put any persons on the relief list who have other persons bring in income to their families. The 200 to be dropped on Monday all have persons in their respective families submitting other income This means that the first 200 or the remaining 15O on the first Hist to be dropped", will not be eligible for aid under the Mutual Aid.
