 In the latter case technicality only holds Connecticut from con- forming with the provesions of the act and this situation was expected to be ironed out in few days.
 When former U. s. Senator Fred eric c. Walcott, commissioner Of public welfare, made application to the National Security board several months ago, the aid to the blind was not under his supervision. This Will be corrected.
 Expects Amendment
 Speaking of the state not having enacted unemployment insurance and thus being denied this class of benefit from the government, the governor said he felt sure the se- curity act would be amended at the next session of congress.
 q think they will make a good many revisions," he said. "As it now stands, the law would eventually be- come too heavy burden on man. ufactureas."
 In flatly ruling against a special session this year, he said If called together the general assembly, they wouldn't know what to do."
 "Everything except unemploy- ment insurance and aid to the blind are provided for now. Of course. we have had no formal approval but our application seems to be satisfactory"
 Aid to dependent children. ma ternal and child health, old age as- sistance, crippled children and child welfare, are among the federal grants to which the governor be- lieves Connecticut will be entitled.
 The state welfare department now has supervision over all of these classificatoins, conforming to Q federal regulation that one depart- ment must have sole jurisdiction of security benefits.

 That is taken to mean that the award is to be paid at once. The award includes $7,500 "as a reason able sum to be awarded the plain tiff as alimony" and $3,000 for the support, care and education of mi- nor child.
 Married In 1902
 The decision shows the plaintiff and defendant to have been mar ried Nov. 12, 1902 and to have lived in Middlebury since just before their marriage. They have six chil- dren, all but one over 21 years of age. Judge Baldwin says it is un- fortunate that the couple having come through all these years, have to part at this stage of their lives.
 The court says that defendant subjected the plaintiff to most abu- sive treatment, using profanity, cal- ling the plaintiff vile names, and threatening bodily harm.
 Judge Baldwin says the defendant uses liquor frequently and to such an extent that 1t has been con- tributing factor in his abusive treat ment of his wife. The treatment made her nervous and necessitated her having hospital treatment.
 Got Only Her Own
 The court points out that just be- fore the divorce was brought, the defendant, who, after arguments, promised to turn over a new leaf and was taken back, was party to mutual division of their property in Middlebury. The court says the plaintiff only received what was legally and equitably hers. Mrs. Steinman is given custody of the child.
 The court says the plaintiff owns real estate of $11,675 and has mort gages to the value of $9,422.75, rnak- ing Q total estate of $21, ,09a75. The defendant is shown to own real es- tate of $19,475 and mortgages of $9,037, making total estate of $28,- 512.
 The award granted the plaintiff is said to be among the largest ever granted here.

a crime to bring civilization to backward lands, to build roads and schools and to spread hygiene and the progress of our times.
 Tt is not the economic side of league sanctions which angers us. Economic sanctions in a sense will be useful to the Italian people. To- day finally, we realize we have more raw materials than we ever thought we had.
 But what disgusts us is the moral side of sanctions. It is the fact that Italy is placed on the same footing with Ethiopia, that the Italian peo- ple who have given so many con tributions to the world and to civil ization are to be made laboratory subject on which the experts at Geneva may with impunity carry out their cruel experiments.'
 Italy's penalties against "sanc- tionist" nations were extended to. day when the foreign office notified all "sanctionist" embassies and lega- tioas that they must in future pay sl.lO 8 gallon (3.60 lire 8 litre for gasoline instead of the 33.7 cents (1.l0 lire a litre) under special dip ionatic privilege. This makes them ps the domestic price. However, they may import their own gaso- line if they like.

 The consensus of the ministers, it was belieed, was in faor of in- crcasing French British pressure on Mussolini to present new proposals for settlement, but to moe for the oil blockade if his proposals fail to supply a fresh basis for negotia- tionS.
 Another subject discussed by the cabinet was belieed to hae been Canada's attitude on oil sanctions.
 It was learned that Britain and France, in the event Mussolini does not come to terms, already hae agreed on 8 common policy in fa- vor of oil sanctions when the com- mittee of 18 meets on Dec. 12. Ger tain arrangements already have been made by British sources to make the sanctions effective as soon as the committee approves them.

 Before passing sentence Judge Green said:
 q am satisfied that the defendant is not vicious, but must be termed weak"
 Although he realized that he fac- ed a possible maximum sentence of 21s years in jail or a $10,000 fine, the rangy, bespectacled defendant, immediately attired in a gray suit, was outwardly calm as he entered the only partly filled courtroom and took a seat, alone, at the entrance to the bar enclosure.
 Twenty-Five feet away sat his par. ents and 8 son and daughter of Foster.
 Citing from testimony at the trial, Bushnell, a former district attorney of Middlesex county said that on the night of the cocktail party there were two so-called assaults on Fos- ter. In the first, he said, Ryan was alleged to have run out of the dor mitory and barged into Foster, rais- ing his right arm and telling the janitor to "get the hell out of my way"
 Not In Second Attack
 Foster was knocked down at that time, Bushnell said, but it was in Q second assault, a few minutes later, that he was horribly beaten.
 Bushnell contended that Ryan had no part in this second attack.
 But Judge Green said:
 T am convinced, on the evidence. that Ryan was one of the parties who committed the second assault"
 The court said the whole affair was caused by Ryan being fighting drunk" The judge emphasized, however, that he did not believe the defendant was blind drunk"
 Money Hard To Raise
 Bushnell said the $7,000 had been raised by Ryan's family lat great personal sacrifice and that this debt would be assumed eventually by young Ryan.
 Judge Green then imposed sem tence, the ruddy-faced defendant standing, emotionless, during the procedure.
 It was pointed out by the court that Ryan would be on probation for the next two years and that he would have to serve the suspended six-month jail term should he vio- late the terms of his probation dur ing that period.
 The $10O fine was paid by Ryan's father.

foes, and nonchalantly doing @ stetch in jail when his gasoline sta- tion development program ran afoul of a city zoning ordinance.
 B0ssy Has Laid Low
 Defeated for a third term in 1881, Bossy laid low, devoting himself to his three filling stations. a shoe fac- otyr, and to the publication of a pale pink weekly newspaper appro- prlavc:y titled Asbestos" His pulp fishing ventufe led to libel con- viction. Sentence was suspended and so> was Asbestos"
 When, the past summer, the 40- year-old ex-mayor announced he would try again for 8 third term, Newburyporters bristled in anticipa- ton of an old-fashioned, rip-snort- ing campaign. But BosSy, always surprising, did the most surprising thing of his career. He wouldn't talk.
 Following Bossy's pattern. City Council President Kelleher and two other candidates waged their pri- mary campaigns last month with a "mum's the word" keynote. Adver- tisements in the local newspaper carried to the 7,640 registered voters silent exhortations, while the only noise of the campaign was that of doorbells rung in house-to-house cancasses.
 Victorious in Primary
 When the smoke of the primary battle had cleared, it was found that 6,100 votes-88 per cent of those reg istered-had been cast on the fog giest, rainiest day of the year. And, even more surprising, no less than 2,776 of them had gone to Bossy. So he and Kelleher, who boiled 1,715, were nominated.
 Equally silent has been the elec- tion campaign. Not a rally has been held, and neither candidate has spoken in public.
 Today the United Press sought statements, and got these:
 Bossy, who now prefers to be call- ed Andrew J.-"The papers have been printing lot of baloney about me. won't talk. Sc my campaign manager"
 His campaign manager-"They think Bossy's clown. He isn't. Just look at his record down to city hall"
 Opponent Kelleher-"Yeah, just look at his record!"

HEAD-ON COLLISION RESULTS FATALLY
Torrington Man Killed in Crash on Waterville Rd.
 Early Yesterday

The last month of the year began inauspiciously for Waterbury's highway safety campaign yesterday when head-on collision at the "S" curve a mile above Waterville on the Waterbury Thomaston road took the life of George E. Sieber, 25, of 27 Washington avenue, Tor rington. Sieber died just after he had been admitted to Waterbury hospital at { o'clock yesterday morning. Five passengers in the two cars involved in the crash es- capped serious injury.
 Coroner John T. Monzani con- ducted an inquest at police head quarters yesterday morning, freeing all witnesses on their own recog- nizance. Police discovered that the car in which Eieber was riding, in which Charles Longhi, 28 and AL bert Salutari, g, of Torrington, were passengers, had been stolen from a Torrington garage few hours before the fatality. Longfii and Salutari escaped with cuts and DrulSeS.
 The driver of the other car, AL ton Klobedanz, "A, of 1948 East Main street, was arrested for oper- ating without 6 license. His case was continued for two weeks in city court today. Riding with Klobe- dang were his wife, Anna, %, and Helen 6piess, 19, of 10 Fuller street, both of whom suffered only minor hurts.
 Investigation by the coroner showed that KlobedanE was on its own side of the road at the time of the crash. The other car, it was reported, cut across the highway to cause the accident. Sieber died of a compound fracture of the skull.

Canada Takes Part

OLGaWa, OlJ., Oce. 1.-NO1I'- Canada's new liberal government in its first announcement on the Ital- ian Ethiopian crisis, mad it clear that the Dominion is participating in, not leading, the League of Ma tions in its policies.
 A statement issued from the of- flee of Prime Minister w. Y. Mac- kenzie King made that plain, Dr. walter Riddell, permanent Cana dian delegate at Genea, was speak ing for himself and not the go- ernment when he suggested the ad- dition of iol, coal, iron and steel, to the embargo list against Italy.
 Riddell made his suggestion before the league penalties committee. It was welcomed and taken up at once, and the oil embargo was called s'the Canadian proposal"
 This fact caused perturbation here, and the new goernment-m Ofiice since the Riddell suggestion took the opportunity to reassure the country that 1t is a peace party.
 It was slirmised that the cabinet discussed Italy's latest terms for ending the war, which include session to Italy of a wide strip of territory linking Eritrea with Ital- ian Somaliland by way of Aussa, 1zArar and Ogaden, and Italian an- nexation of territory in northwest ern Ethiopia, particularly Kafah
 The cabinet was belieed ready to concur if Ethiopia assents to the eessio nto Italy of the region bor- dering the British Kenya colony but opposes the surrender of Kafa be- cause it borders the Sudan.
 Under the scheme, Ethiopia would be compensated with the grant of an outlet to the sea through Brit ssh SoEnaliland.

 London, Dec. 2.-(UP).-The ad- visibility of imposing an oil embargo against Italy was understood to have been urged at special 'cabi- net meeting today by Sir Samuel Hoare, foreign secretary, and Capt. Anthony Eden, secretary for league affairs.
 Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin presided. The ostensible purpose of the meeting was to hear Baldwin outline the speech which King George will make in opening parlia- xnent tomorrow.
 Hoare and Eden were understood to have argued that imposition of the oil embargo would hasten Pre- xnier Benito Mussolini's submission to more acceptable peace terms than he has offered so far.
 The cabinet was believed to have discussed Hoare's prospective visit 10 Premier Pierre Laval in Paris to coordinate the British and French views, and also Capt. Eden's at- tendance at the meeting of the penalties committee of IS at Gen. eva on Dec. 12, when the oil em- bargo will be considered.
 The cabinet was reported to have discussed the possibility that the oil embargo might be delayed if Premier Benito Mussolini halts hos tilities in Ethiopia and reopens ne- gotiations with France and Brit ain on a basis of reasonable condi- tions.
