NORMA MILLEN WILL BE FREED
 ON WEDNESDAY,
Young Widow of Executed Gangster to Start Life
 All Over Again

Dedham, Mass, Aug. 20. (UP)- This was Norma Brighton Millen's last day in Jail. The former Iowa school girl who became the bride and soon afterward the widow of a young Boston machine-gun bandit will be eligible for release at midnight after serving nearly a year in Dedham jail as murder accessory.
 Happy over the prospect of start ing life anew--perhaps in distant St. Louis, Mo-, at the home of a married sister--the 20-year- beauty turned over most of her be- longings to her minister father, the Rev. Norman Brighton of Na- tick, and prepared to vacate her cell.
 In Jail IS Months
 Although Norma was given only 8 one-year sentence, which has been reduced by36 days for good behavior, she has been in jail near husband, Murton Millen, and his brother, Irving, were trapped dramatically in a New York hotel.
 Murton, Irving and the college trained Abe Faber, who was arr rested here, died in the electric chair last June for the machine gun killing of two policemen in a $15,0O0 bank raid at Needham.
 Samuel H. Capen, S9-year-old sheriff of Norfolk county, has not announced the hour of Norma's re- lease. She may be freed at mid- night, to avoid publicity, or pos- sibly not until a. m. tomorrow.
 Father Is Much Elatcd
 Gaunt, gray Rev. Brighton, re- tired clergyman who sells automo- piles, was as elated as Norma over the prospect of her release.
 Loyal to his daughter through out her tribulations, he is con- fident that her adventure as a bandits bride will be forgotten.
 "At heart she has always been a good girl and still is," he said. "She has learned a great deal as a re- suit of her misfortunes. She has been a victim of circumstances over which she, as a child, had no con- trol. She is no longer @ child. She Is a woman now. Her rehabilitation will be easy and complete"
 If Norma violates her parole in any way during the next 36 days, which were clipped from her sem tence, she will be returned to jail to complete her term, Sheriff Capen warned.

Veteran patrons of the famous old Hodeon cafe formerly located on West Main street, were wonder ing today if the good old days are to be brought back with the an- nouncement that the Hodson res- taurant, closed yesterday, was to be altered and reopened, possibly as an establishment similar to the popular cafe of pre-prohibition days.
 Such an establishment is being considered, Attorney William K. Lawlor, counsel for the company, stated today. While nothing defi- mite has been arranged, MT. Lawlor said there is a possibility that restaurant and liquor dispensing business might be opened, which, if materializing, will prompt pa- 'trons of the old Hodson cafe to wonder whether the good old days 7and famous cocktails will be rec sVived.
 MT. Lawlor said there are sev- eral plans being considered. Sev- 3eral attractive offers for the res- taurant site have been received, he said, and it might be possible that a sale will result.

PRESIDENT WILL ANSWER ATTACKS
 THROUGH WEST
His Broadcast on Saturday Night Will Be Along
 Different Lines

Washington, Aug. 20-(UP) - President Roosevelt will open his counter attack on critics of the New Deal when he proceeds to the Pacific coast next month and - contrary to recent reports not before, it was learned today from sources close to the White House.
 Until he travels westward. Mir. Roosevelt is expected to maintain his policy of silence regarding po- litical developments.
 Some political experts had be- ieved that in view of mounting speculation on the 1886 campaign. he would reply Saturday night when he addresses the Young Dem ocratic clubs of America over a national radio hook-up.
 What He May Say
 Instead, 1t was asserted the pres ident in his speech to the Milwau- kee meeting will emphasize advan- tages that have accured to the youth of America through opera tion of certain administration poll icies, the responsibilities of youth in government and politics and per haps give a clue to further plans he might have in mind for the ris- ing generation.
 Meanwhile, administration lieu tenants and party leaders were cheered by sanguine reports that to them, at least, offset some of the uneasiness caused by the de- feat of a democratic candidate for congress in the recent Rhode Is- land election.
 Election Promises
 Cliff Woodward, head of the Young Democrats of America, inc formed the president that Iowa, his home state, would go democratic in 1886 by larger majority than in 1882. Gov. James M. Curley also White House caller. expressed the belief that Massachusetts would fall in line in the next presidential cleo ton.
 MT. Roosevelt is expected 10 be- gin his western swing about the third week in September.
