The old time fighting spirit of tine Abrigador will be revived to- night when the reorganization meeting of the Tribune Athletic club takes place at 125 Baldwin street. The address is not un- familiar to old-time Waterburians for the Tribpunes were located there for several years and held forth as one of the leading social and athletic club in Connecticut. 1t is only fitting that the Tribes return to their original headquarters and continue from wnere they left off some six or eight years ago.
 That the Tribunes are represent cd in the City Amateur baseball league is proper indication that their stand in local athletic circles has not passed out of existence Entirely. It is ample proof that the good old competitive blood still prevails in the lower Baldwin street section. The Tribunes will De represented strongly and play an important part in future sports NRctivities in this city. They plan fo have football team that will De equal to those of the past on 2iS SiiuiIOH tIl!S lall, bdter tuC Tribes basketball team will make an appearance and the baseball nine will of course be active dur ing the summer months.

 Nathan L. Miller and Rep James w. Wadsworth, New York repub- licans, and Irenee Du Pont, Dela- ware industrialist, are members of the executive committee. Four million property owners are sought as league members to be repre- sented by it before congressional committees shaping economic and social legislation.
 The inevitable break between the league and the New Deal prob ably will not come openly until of reports on legislation and gov , ernment policies.
 | Senator Disavow It Initial reaction of conservative minded democrats in congress indi- cated the league cannot expect early recruits from that troubled forum. Several senators were quick to disavow emphatically, if indirectly, any connection with the Liberty league.
 1ckes virtually invited the league to sponsor a re-alignment of poli- tical party allegiance.
 "I've been hoping ever since 1912," Ickes said, that we would have political parties divided on real issues. It looks as if 1t is working out that way.
 To-day we have different groups in each party. I'd like to see all progressives together and all conservatives together. Then you always would be facing your enemy and not wondering about what is happening behind your back"
 As Ickes spoke. however, the democratic national committee an- nounced that five of the foremost democratic critics of New Deal policies in the senate had no part in the partisan conservative move ment.
 Sen Carter Glass, d., Va, was quoted by the committee as fol- lows:
 Any suggestion that am CO., party or with republican indi- dividuals is just pure invention. Such movement has been brought to my attention but l am not taking part in it." Similarly reassuring quotations were offered from Sens Harry F. Byrd, d., Va, Josiah w. Bailey, d, N. O., Thomas P. Goe, d., Okla, and Willard Tydings, d., Md. All of them bolted the New Deal from time to time during the 73rd con- gresS.

 Town Chairman T. F.. Conway stated, when talked with today, that he had no further comment to make on the fight of the reor' ganization group against the reg ulars'. He reiterated his state ment of the other day, to the ef- feet that he is content to let the battle be fought out at the pri- maries instead of in the newspa' pers.
 The final hour for filing the tic kets for the primaries will be reached at o'clock, daylight sav- ing time, tomorrow evening. Al that time Town Chairman Conway will be at party headquarters on Harrison avenue to receive the tic kets of both the organization and reorganization forces.
 Tomorrow night and Monday evening the reorganization forces will sponsor radio talks over WATR also. The hours for tomor- row and Monday will be the same as for this evening. The reorgan. ization group did not choose early this afternoon the name of the speaker who will carry their mes- sage over the radio this evening Attorney Gruskay's address of last night was listened to by a large number of Waterburians.

His ordination took place De- cember 22, 1877, in Baltimore, Bishop Gibbons officiating. He said his first mass at the Church of the Immaculate Conception. His first appointment was to St Mary's church, New Haven. While there he conceived the idea of the Knights of Columbus. He spent seven happy years in New Haven years crowded with work, but the type that produces complete satisfaction.

 The order he created did not die. It fiourished nightly. It has spread today from the United States to Canada, Mexico, South America and the Philippines. It's member ship is close to 100000. It includes 2,O00 councils. All this was due to the inspiration of one lone priest who was born in Waterbury. edu- cated here, and who died seven miles from here. He lies buried here today and his memory will always be perpetuated while the order exists in Waterbury.

 The new structure will be of steel covered with cement. It was first reported that the old Platts Mills bridge, or part of it, would be transferred to Silver street. This report, however, was denied by the street and engineering depart ments a few weeks ago.
 Motorists going through the eastern section of the city now will find construction ahead of them no matter where they travel. This means that the autos will traverse torn up highways for the next couple of months, anyway.

HITLER WAS NOT
 w ANY DANGER

Munich, Aug 24, (CP)-Deny. ing rumors abroad of an attempt to assassinate Reichsfuhrer Adolf Hitler, Nazi spokesmen@aid to-day that a member of the SS body guard troops, wanderi -ng about Hitler's summer home on vacation, gave rise to them.
 It was said that the SS man, named von Berg, was at Berchtes- gaden, where Hitler has his moun- tain retraea, and that apparently in ignorance of ban on firearms in the vicinity he were his revolver. Guards. 1t was said, halted him and he gave up. the weapon.

 It was credibly reported that he, like Dillinger, was betrayed by his weakness for 8 woman. Rela- tives of the girl with whom he lived here, a United Press inform ant said. tipped police.
 Every police facility was thrown immediately into a search for George (Baby Face) Nelson and John Hamilton. only important members of Dillinger's gang sur- viving. A report that Nelson was in St Paul yesterday seemed con- firmed by accuracy of the Van Meter tip.
 Detective details searched Under patrolmen and squad cars blocked all exists from the city.
 Van Meter was given a chance to surrender but chose flight.
 Trap Is Prepared
 Chief Cullen and former Police Chief Thomas Brown organized the trap. Each carried sawed off shotgun. Detectives Thomas Me- Mahon and Jack Dietrich had ma. chine guns.
 The four waited in the show window of an automobile sales room on University avenue, just Q block from the state capitol. Ape parently they were informed when he would pass the spot.
 Shortly after o'clock the gangster appeared. Cullen and his men stepped to the sidewalk. The chief shouted a command to halt. Van Meter jumped sideways. jedked an automatic pistol from a pocket and ran, firing two shots as he wheeled.
 The fugitive reached an alley before the police were able to shoot. Five volleys knocked him down. He died immediately.
 At the morgue physician found 26 shotgun pellets and one machine gun slug in his back. In addition he dug a pistol bullet from an old shoulder wound.
 Face Not Lifted
 Police said his chestnut hair had been dyed black and a tattoo marx on his left arm obliterated in an dLL0hipt PkONOiAt AAStsAAt~s-S>>~~' Reports that his face had been lifted by plastic surgery were secuted by examining physicians.
 In Van Meters pockets when he died was $923. Mostly in $10 and $2O bills. Unkempt condition of his hair, his clothing and his nails indicated that he had confined himself to a hideout for a consid- erable period.
 Van Meters death depleted the, once powerful Dillinger gang 10 virtual non-existence. Authorities are not sure that John Hamilton still lives. Dillinger himself said he had been killed and buried SC" cretly. Their principal search now is for Nelson. listed as pubic enemy No. 1 of the nation.
 A conviction of automobile inert in Aurora, III. in 1924 began van Meters criminal career. He was convicted later of train robbery and wound up in the Michigan City, Ind, penitentiary. His asso- ciation with Dillinger began there before he-was paroled in May or 1888.

 The loot was largely federal re- serve bank funds from Pittsburgh. : Officials of the Pittsburgh Fed eral Reserve bank said they be- lieved the amount taken was about $50,000 although it might easily be more or less." They were not certain that all of 1t was registered.
 All Roads Blocked
 Pennsylvania and Ohio state po- lice, meanwhile, sped from their barracks in an effort to block roads in the district before the fleeing bandits could reach a hideout. They were handicapped by conflicting re- ports of the direction which the bandit machine took when it reach- ed the outskirts of the city, and by conflicting license numbers SUD- piled by witnesses.
 The bandits wore dark glasses. Lackey said they were between 35 and 40 years old. Witnesses, whose attention was called to the robbery by screaming brakes on the auto- mobiles. said the holdup required less than a minute.
 The money was en route to the Lyndora bank for use in making up payrolls of the American Rou- ing Mills and the Standard Car corporation.
 Police said the robbery was care- fully planned and that the men were probably big-time bandits"

 The reorganization movements have been directed by John Flaherty, "Tipper" Conley, Teddy Parker and James Lynch. They will endeavor to build up city wide membership. It is expected that the Tribune roster will soon have a listing of more than three hundred names including people in all walks of life. An invita- ton has been extended to the city to be present at to-night's meet ing. The election of officers will take place as well as the instigation of wide program of activity. The meeting will start at 7:30 o'clock.

 Local Democrats Smile
 Local democratic leaders today first smiled at the Torrington re- port that there would be a dead lock between the Smith and Dyer forces. They predicted that Major Smith would get the nemination on the first ballot, therefore there would be no chance of any dark horse" entering the pictuIe.
 They then asked the question of who would decide the party to which Professor Beard would eventually belong. Town Chairman John H. Crary said this morning that he has not heard of any boom for Professor Beard and added that he doubted if his name would go before the democratic convention.

ECONOMIC Hl0HLiGHTS
5-28-34

The Administration is moving
to prevent two dismetrically diff.
ferent kinds of crime.
First completed move was the
signing by the President of q
group of bills requested by the
Department of Justice, which
provide federal penalties for Of.
fenses that have heretofore been
covered by state laws only. One
bill provides that il q kidnapped
person is kept seven days is
shall be legally presumed that
be has been taken across q
state line, which brings it within
federal juridiction and makes it
q very serious offense indeed.
Other bills in the group make it
Federal crime to send extor.
ton messages in interstate com.
merce, to fee across state lines
to avoid prosecution or giving
testimony ia felony cases, to
defraud or rob national banks,
TO ship stolen securities across
state lines. and so on.
The pa q ge OF the bills
gives Federal authorities q great
deal more leeway than they ever
had before in running down and
punishing criminals. They are
the direct result of the Dillinger
comic OPERA" which has made
every body concerned, Federal
and local authorities both, look
pretty foolish.
In the second move the Pres.
ident is striking at war-interna
tional crime on the grand scale.
He seut resolution to Congress
calling for ratification of interna.
tional agreements that would call
for licensing arrangements for
international arms shipments.
This. he said, would help to end
the mad race in armament
which. il permitted to contin ue.
may we'll result ia war" The
President wishes that special at.
tention be given to ending the
!. .jpRGle warfare between Bolivia
and Paraguay which has been
continuing for years ia the Gran
Chaco district. Not q great deal
about that war has been heard in
this country-but foreign observ
ers say it is as Rhastly, as need.
less and as destructive q conflict
as has ever been fought.
Within the next few months
there is going to be a. great deal
