Der of cooperators," Macdonald continued. "Will not Germany show her willingness to restore the international confidence which was so rudely shaken by her re. cent independent action in re- armaments
 Speaks of Hitler
 "Facing the future," Macdonald said, 'Yt Is we'll to realize that Chancellor Hitler has said that he will sign nothing which he felt he could not carry out, yet if Se gave an undertaking, he would never break 1t.
 .'It should also be noted that Chancellor Hitler publicly declared the readiness and determination of the German government to accept both the spirit and the letter of the Locarno pact.
 "I must confess surprise that this moment has been chosen ty Germany-to announce a shipbuild- ing program, including submarines.
 "This decision is ominous nnd J do not intend to minimize It's gray ity. f. fH "
 Despite the announcement,, the government is still prepared to rec ceive the German representatives in London for the contemplated pre-. liminary conversations.

boration to other nations of Eu- rope. He extended hint to Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler to join such coila boration when he said:
 twill not Germany show her willingness to restore the interna- tional confidence which was SO rudcly shaken by her recent inde. pendent action in re-armaments"
 It was disclosed just before he began speaking that for the first time since 1914 three British offl- cers would be attached to the Ger man army and three German of- ficers to the British army for six weeks of study.
 Changes Kept Secret
 MacDonald's reference to the .fu. ture debate on national arnia- ments as affected by the changes on the continent was understood to moan he did not intend to dis- close today the proposed changes in Britain's air fleet, which she has declared she will build up Ut least to equality with Germany and maintain at that level.
 Concerning British cooperation with continental powers, hc said:
 Tt would be a great calamity if there were any weakening or .de- terioration of the confidence which has existed between Britain, France and Italy. The govern. ment will do It's utmost to see that 1t does not happen"

 Worst Criminal in Years
 Describing him as "the master criminal of the rast 50 years" fed sral investlgators said Rettich ale leRedls did all the planning on the f.lobs," then rehearsed them. Tney revealed that the Fall River roo- bery was rehearsed two or three times before the actual holdup. In. vestigators said the syndicate used the same technique in all It's rfick.ups - surprise attacks to make shooting unnecessary.
 They described Rettich as a nuave "gentleman bandit" wno duped prominent men with his poi. ished and engaging manner, ana said they have the identities or wcll-known Providence business men and lawyers who made sociaI visits to the mansion.
 Meanwhile. Rettich has been IS. plated in a state reformatory ceii in Cranston, half-mile from the state prison. Authorities revealed S(hat as a precautionary measure against possibility of selt-inJury or escape. Rettich would be place din a heavily-guarded cell in what Is known as the hospital section oi the state prison after his scheduled arraignment today.
 May link Other Robbcrics With the Fall River robbery practically solved, investigators moved swiftly in an effort to link other major crimes in the eastern part of the country to the "syndi- cate" which allegedly operated out of Warwick.
 They hope to pin at least three other major holdups to the gang the $427,O00 Brooklyn, N. r., arm ored car robbery last autumn; the s5O,000 mall truck robbery at But Ter, Pa, and the $4o,000 mall truck holdup at Warren, Ohio.

which Bradley replied the gover. nor had broken faith with the sen. ate in tracking Raymond F. Gates, republican incumbent ard warning the senate, in effect, that you do not do as expected yOr, therefore I chastize you and hold the rod in my hand"
 Blackall opened a scathing at- tack on Bradley's move for adop. ton of the resolution.
 This is something more than h question whether a certain man shall be appointed to certain of fice," he declared.
 ..!The question before the senate is, Is the man whose name was re- jected able? Politics should he thrown out the window. If chief ex. ecutiye had sent in the name uf another man I would have voted for him no matter what others di' |. If Thompson was not qualified ! should move the matter be tabled and a public hearing held.
 "The rejection of this nomina. ton will not fall on the willing ears of anybody who feels that the chief executive is attempting to give us good government"
 Routine House Day
 The house went through another routine day.
 It received a favorable report on e bill authorizing the warden at State prison to appoint an official executioner at fee to be set by the board of finance and control and tabled the measure.
 In retaliation of a motion offered in the senate yesterday prohibit ing members of the house from ap- bearing on the floor of that body, the house today adopted a resolu- ton shunting all senators into the gallery when they appeared to watch proceedings. The rule will apply until the senate rescinds its action.
 A favorable report was received on a bill permitting former super for and supreme court judges to become members of the judicial council.
 A bill, passed several weeks ago. authorizing the motor vehicles commissioner to establish uniform traffic regulations, and which was recalled from the governors of flee. was reffered back to commit tee.
 The state board of fisheries and game was empowered to extend and curtail seasons in the interests of game protection.
 Two rejected bills would have set up a state 'workmen's compen- sation insurance fund to provide protection in cases rejected by in- surance companies as poor risks. authorized superior court judges to appoint judicial administrator in receiyership proceedings.

 No. Trouble Reports
 Police headquarters had no re. ports of any trouble up to early afternoon, but with companies planning to send out trucks to- night there were fears that vio. icnce might crop up as 1t did two years ago when the truckers were on strike.
 Company operators at midnight last night declared that negotia- tions were at m end. claiming that union leaders had failed 10 keep an agreement to appear at the office of state Labor Commissioner Jo- seph M. Tone. Commissioner Tone stated that all attempts to end the strike by negotiations had resulted in failure.
 Objection To Adlcy
 Adley's statement, objected to by local strikers. was reported as be- ing: "The employer has made every effort to amicably settle this controversy. There appears 10 be nothing left for US to do but to make plans to operate. To do this, 1t will be necessary to hire strike breakers. This will probably result In much violence, perhaps the burning of trucks and injuries to persons and property. The employ. CT has rcfrained from doing this so far because he has realized that in so doing he would make difficult a possible settlement through ne' gotiatipns." t .N
 Conferences at Hartford yester- day afternoon were attended by Edmund Naylor and Joseph Dunn, business agent and president of the local truckers union. as well as by several company representatives from this city. ,ga. Hartford, May 2--(UP)--Trans- portation operators today aband! Eoned hope for settlement of the walkout Of Connecticut and vest ern Massachusetts truck drivers and announced strike breakers would be hired. operators waited more than an hour to discuss compromise agreement with drivers represcn- tatives from Hartford, Waterbury and Springfield and when they failed 10 appear at the state labor missioners office at a. m. is- sued the following statement:
 The employer has made every effort to amicably settle this con troversy. There appears to be poth. ing left for us to do but to mako plans to operate.
 ITO do this, 1t will. be necessary to. 60 out and engage strike break CTS. This will probably result in much violence, perhaps the burn ing of trucks and injuries to per sons and property.
 "The employer has refrained doing this so far because he has realized that in so doing he would make difficult a possible settle- ment through negotiations"
 State Labor Commissioner Jo- seph M. Tone. who announced yesterday he believed the strike might be settled today, said i've have exhausted every possible means of settling this strike dur ins the last 4s hours."

GERMAN AIR FLEET

Berlin, May 2.--(UP)--There is truth" in reports that secret fac- tories hidden In the forests are working day and night to prepare Germany's aerial defense. Herman Wilhelm Goering, minister of avia- ton, said today in an interview with the foreign press.
 There is some truth to those stories" Goerlng said. A moment later he smilingly deprecated re- ports that his country had con- structed hugo subterranean air- ports.
 Germany does not want to de- nounce the demilitarization of the Rhineland because that Is included in the Locarno treaties" he added. GA London report today that sol- diers were appearing in the Rhine area was not conflrmed).
 Goering told the press that Ger many's new airfieet Is as modern as any in the world.
 Germany Needs Peace Then he turned to the subject of world peace. Germany needs peace, 1t will keep peace and docs not want any adventure" he cau- toned. "The fatherland will not easily be provoked.
 "But." he warned, Germany will attend to her own affairs. "The ultimate size of the airfieet will be determined only by the size of the fleets of surrounding coun- tries and in q manner which will enable Germany to withstand any attack by single or combined power" Goering added. the alrforce will always remain strong to the extent to which the rest of the world is for or against pehce."
 The minister of aviation, inferr- ing his country's readiness to enter muitilatcral airpact. added that "the German air fleet is designed only for defense purposes but will always be at the disposal of the na. ton for the maintenance of peace.
 q always said that Germany must have q defense force. It is not my fault that Germany now has bombing planes. Others rec fused to get rid of their silly of- fonsive weapons"
 Win Not Hold Back
 "when the others decide to eliminate their air forces altoge- ther, we will not hold back" Goer- ing added. "If they do 50 in two years, Germany will wollow suit. but in the meantime we will gladly go to the expense to further rearm. ament even though eventually it may be in vain."
 The means by which the air force was created was original and unique in air history" Goering explained.
 He said that he had organized all industry and resources which would enable me. when the time came, to place the air force with one full swoop at the nations dis posal."

 troubles will be nothing as compar- cd to those of the pilots of the fleets 46o airplanes operating from tho airplaino carriers. The flyers will be Ion their own" from the moment they leave the decks of the carriers. They must locate the mother ship on their return from their reconnaissance, without the aid of the radio beam. Any pilot unfortunate enough to lose his car rler ship and be compelled to call for the "beam, from the carrier will be practically counted out of tho maneuvers. Any carrier giving tho beam will not only guide the plane to the carrier ship, but would be likely also to bring down q host of dcstroyers and light cruisers of the opposing fleet. It also would invite rain of aerial "bombs" from flyers of tho rival fleet.
