Bellome Nears Conn.
 Chess Championship
Defeats Bridgeport, Hartford Opponents; Adjourned
 Games to eB Played Here Thursday Evening

Resuming play in the Connect cut Chess championship at the Hotel Barnunl in Bridgeport Satur- day. Nicholas R. Bellome, Water bury. Chess Club representative, continued his successful march to- ward the state championship when he defeated Bjorkman of Hartford and MacGregor of Bridgeport and was obliged by pressure of time to adjourn his game with Larsen also of Bridgeport.
 Tn the fourth round Larsen open ed his game on the King side and Bellome immediately put up stub- born Sicilian defense and after playing for three hours an adjourn ment was taken. Cornell also of Waterbury playing French de- fense against Clareus of Hartford lost piece on his eighteenth move regaining it, however, twelve moves later and after exchanging rocks the game went into a pawn, end, ing when Clareus outwitted Cor nell. The latter resigning on the forty-fifth move. Green defended the black side of a Ruy Lopez with Burstein of Hartford, and the game was adjourned after three hours play.
 The fifth round Bellome er- countered Bjorkman of Hartford. who opened with Queens Gam bit Declined, and move, which was not the best, left Bjorkman in an embarrassing position on his twenty-ninth turn, and Bellome mated him on his thirty Green and Clareus of Hartford, in a Caro Kahn and a rather inter- esting development censued. Clar- ues won a piece, but Green had the advantage of three passed pawns on the Queens side, but could not use them to advantage, because of the pressing attacked of his opponent. Clareus mated Green on the forty-fourth move. Cornell playing White against MacGregor of Bridgeport encount- cred a Sicilian Defense and pro- ceeded to work up, in a very short time, one of the prettiest attacks that could be witnessed on a chess board, tying up four or five of Mac Gregor's pieces in one corner so that it was almost im- possible to move any of them. Needless to say Mir Cornell won his game.
 In the sixth round Bellome met MacGregor from Bridgeport in an offered Queens Gambit which MacGregor tried to turn into a Sicilian Defense, to his regrets. Bellome gained piece after piece but soon found himself threatened with a mate and was obliged to give up his Queen for a Rock. As the game stood he had two Rocks. a Knight and Bishop against a Queen and gave up one of them to free his position. He mated his opponent on the forty-seventh move.
 The game between Green and Cornell, two Waterbury representa- lives, resulted in stubborn bat tla. Green opened with the Fucker tort and Cornell replied with a Dutch defense. Green won the ex- change in the middle game but Cornell's pawns could not be held

RUSSIA, FRANCE
 TO MAKE TREATY
 ON WORLD PEACE
Would Bind All Eastern Nations to Penalize
 Seekers of War

Moscow. May 14.--(UP)-Russia and France soon may take the lead in securing the peace of central Europe by proposing treaty which would bind eastern nations 10 impose economic penalties against any warmaker, it was indi- cated today. :.
 Foreign Minister Pierre Laval of France proposed the treaty to Maxim Litvinov, Russian foreign minister. and Litvinov was under stood to be favorable to it, because of the apparent impossibility or et- fecting a stronger treaty.
 Poland and Germany are nrmly opposed to a general treaty or military assistance.
 The proposed treaty would pledge signatories to imposing economic penalties of any nation which started a war. It would include pledge of non-aggression as well.
 Would Be Strong
 Though it falls short of the mili- +arv aid which Russia really wants, if would be strong one in that 1t would mean, as discussed, prac- ticaIly an economic blockade against any aggressor. Other states adherent to the treaty would be expected to agree not to sell muni- .tions or other war-useful goods to the aggressor state and not to lend it money.
 Poland was understood to have approved the treaty with the reser- yations that outstanding Polish- Lithuanian difficulties would be set tied before Lithuania signed and that Czechoslovakia would be omitted as not being an eastern European nation.
 Russia was understood to be more favorable to the treaty be- cause of the recently negotiated French-Russian military treaty and the prospective Russian-Czecho- slovakian military treaty.
 Laval and Litvinov exchanged glowing compliments at a state dinner last night. Litvinov was host.
