Hartford Conn, March Is - (UP) - The fight of milk produc- CTS and dealers to restrain the milk control board from continuing in effect it's Equalization fund" went into it's third day in superior court today with scores of farmers pre- pared to resume attack on the reg ulation.
 More than a dozen producers and dealers have characterized the plan as beneficial to "big interests" and a burden that threatens to drive many small, Independent dealers out of business or into | bankruptcy.
 Dwight D. Wadhams, Bloomfield. who said he was member of the Connecticut Milk Producers Asso- citation until he twas thrown out at the last annual meeting" today declared all pooling plans "cause | trouble"
 "The setting up of quota on such low production basis,' he said, twas unfair because it abused the producer-dealer." Opposes Price Fixing He expressed himself as opposed PIlC0 HALLE uh0 iO6A AAdIiOAA s@"N said the milk board should de- velop plan to take care of the farmers.

MT Stevenson as he made ready to depart with his two assistants.
 "You could have used the tele- phone and I would have told you the same thing, thereby saving you this trip over to the City Hall,' stated Registrar Dillane as the formal visit ended. AS the trio left the office Registrar Dillane called to City Editor Tanning and asked him his interest in the mat ter. well, I'm a citizen," replied the latter.
 Must Get Court Order
 The stand, taken was that the records of the registrars office are private or semi-privates and that nothing but court order will force the registrars to open their books.
 William J. Pape, publisher of the Republican and American, some time visited the office of States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis seeking bench warrant to have the registrars brought before the criminal superior court. He was told, it is understood, that further evidence of illegal handling of the voting lists would be necessary, hence the pending civil action to have the books thrown open for inspection.
 The city as a whole is interested in the fight as it will establish a precedent, not only applicable to Waterbury, but the state as a whole.
 Those accompanying MT. Steven son on his call on the registrars were Raymond J. Tanning, city ed itor of the American, and Harold Senior. City Hall reporter for the same publication.

respect you personally, but under the circumstances I cannot see why it would be justifiable to open the records to you or any other individual
 MT Stevenson asked if there were any records available at all. He, also, addressed MT Dillane in formal manner. It is understood that this afternoons formal de- mand merely forms the basis of a civil action that is to be taken in the superior court to try and have the registrars records thrown open.
 "Our records are the same as they were a week ago or several months ago." stated Registrar Dil- lane. "They are private or semi private and, therefore, do not see the necessity of throwing them open to you or any other person"

 The newspaper Acropolis said Insult had completed arrangements with an underworld gang dealing in clandestine travellers, which would transfer him from Athens into the Greek countryside where he could not be found for arrest and deportation. May Hide With Monks
 The chief of the security general said he believed Insull was still in Greece. There was a report that he might have taken refuge with the famous Monks of Mt Athos, where he probably could find haven.
 The "holy mountain" on the Aegean is autonomous and police might hesitate to invade it, even if 1t would be possible to find a fugitive in it's labrinthine mon- asteries.
 It is populated by about 1000 monks and lay brothers, who oc- cupy 20 monasteries of great an tiQuity. No woman is allowed there. The monks follow medieval customs and led extremely simple lives.
 Police Director Hebert said he had not yet arrested Mme Zahra Coujountzoglou, friend of lnsull, but alleged that she obviously prepared for Insults escape and disappearance"
 One of the arrested house. maids said she saw Insull for the last time last night.

Gibraltar, March 15-(UP)- Two seamen were reported today to have been killed during storms that accompanied the secret naval maneuvers which ended last ngiht.
 In the maneuvers, an invading fleet, theoretically seeking to land an expeditionary force on a Spanish Portuguese coast that ap- proximated the British coast. was trapped at point blank range and encircled by searchlights of de- lending ships.
 The battleships Nelson and Rod- ney, brides of the British fleet, were among those trapped.

 tody of the "enemy camp" Dan was to have been taken to the home of Bob Grasson, Yale fencing coach to-day, until late
 spring. He was a fine speciman
 and valued highly.
 The campus was stirred by the
 news that Dan, a great favorite of all the students and faculty, had been stolen. In his few months at the college he had been pam pered and petted and a comfort able bed had been made for him in the lobby of the field house. He had no favorites and made friends
 easily.
 He had been selected from a field of dozen or more prize English bulls at Meriden. Harvard Amazed Cambridge, Mass, March 15.- (UP)-If Yale's mascot, handsome
 Dan II, was being held captive by
 some Harvard student to-day, un- dergraduate leaders professed to have no knowledge of it.
 N "You don't mean it!" exclaimed J. J. Thorndike, president or the Harvard Crimson, student daily newspaper, when advised of the apparent "dognaping". He said his office would make a careful check" in the possibility that the
 dog might have got mixed up with the baggage of one of the Harvard
 students who visited New Haven
 last night.
 Dams disappearance recalled the case of the historic Yale fence. A
 Harvard student returning from New Haven in 1929 discovered on arrival here that, absent-mindely. he had brought along a rather cumbersome fragment of the fence. That souvenir was formally re- turned to Yale at a dinner here on the eve of the Harvard-Y Yale football game the same year.

 In the Lindbergh Kidnapping case, Bitz and his companion, Salvatore Spitale, acted as go-betweens with the underworld in an effort to seek recovery of the baby, who at the time was believed to be alive and

 Tn any national emergency in. volving invasion of the United States by any foreign power there Is reasonable probability that the first line of our national defense will include the air forces as well as our sea forces.
 With this probability in mind the air forces should be as fully and completely organized, equipped and trained in time of peace as our navy.
 "The opportunity afforded the army air corps to carry the air mail, with but approximately 10 days in which to prepare, consti- tuted, in my belief, an ideal peace time test of the army air corps organization, equipment and train- ing, and as chief of the army air corps, freely, frankly and with out reservation, welcome this op- portunity."
 Foulois listed the following cas- | ualties:
 Fiscal year of 1892, 50; 1888, 4s; and for the current year to include March 13, 39.
 "It has been my policy for years to stress the development of safety factors and safety, devices for air craft even to the extent of fre- quently testing such safety devices in flight by myself before allow ing them to be issued for general use by other pilots," he said.
 COLONEL WILL TESTIFY
 Washington, March 15.-(UP)- Col Charles A. Lindbergh today ac- cepted the invitation of the senate postoffices committee to testify in hearings on permanent air mail legislation. He will appear before the committee tomorrow.
 Lindbergh telegraphed accept ance to Committee Chairman Ken meth McKellar, d., Tenn. Lindbergh previously declined an invitation to serve on war department avia- tion board of inquiry. He had again criticized the administra- tion's cancellation of air mail con- tracts.
 Lindbergh's telegram to Nickel. lar merely stated:
 Will be glad to appear Friday"
 The committee yesterday invited Lindbergh, Clarence ChamberIin, Eddie Rickenbacker and Brig Gen William Mitchell to testify on per- manent legislation under which the administration plans eventually to return the airmail to private lines under strict regulations. Lindbergh was first to reply.
 It will be the first time the fa- nous flyer has appeared before a congressional committee. When the Black committee investigatins airmail contracts brought out that he had received a sizeable amount of air line securities, he offered to testify but he never was called.
 Rickenbacker also notified the committee he would appear either saturday or some day next week.
 Chamberlin, only civilian so far to accept membership on the spe- ciai committee to investigate the army nying corps, expressed deep regret upon learning that Lind. bergh has refused to serve on the committee.
 T am sorry that we will not have his help" Champerlin said.
 He intends to remain in Wash ington until tomorrow to appear before the senate postofice and roads committee to testify concern. ing airmail.

 Foulois is on an inspection trip of the army airmail routes pre- paratory to resuming mail service. He said he considered the "ir'n T flying "an ideal peace-time test" for the air corps. He said he did not believe the hazards of carrying the airmail were as great as those normally encountered by army combat pilots.
 He added:
 with my 25 years of flying ex- perience behind me, I can frank ly state that just as long as man flies there will be fatal accidents.'
 If accidents in military and com mercial aviation are to be reduced, he said, adequate federal appro- priations must be provided annual ly to develop aircraft and access sOries.
