Car1ot shipments Of produce con-
tinue somewhat above 1000 daily
increasing slowly but still below the
movement in May last year. Ship
ments of southern potatoes doubled
the first week Of May and exceeded
the rate of a year ago by 500 cars,
but old crop potatoes are decreasing
fast Combined potato movement is
light and about One-fourth below
that of same time last year. South
ern melons have begun moving to
market in carlOts, also western can
taloupes. The season is still delayed
for many lines of produce, especially
far western vegetables, and output
of asparagus and other early north
ern produce has been delayed by
cool weather. Shipments Of apples,
pears and citrus fruits are decreas-
ing but Strawberries, cabbage, onions
and spinach are increasing.
Markets in the large cities were
dull and weak the first part OF May,
and prices of many lines we're lower,
but there were some recOyeries late
in the week ending May IL. POta-
toes were a little firmer, especially
at country shipping points. Onions
and Strawberries also showed bet
ter market tone.
Spinach markets developed a weak
tone in early May and iobbing prices
declined to new low levels. Ship
ments are heavy from the Norfolk
district besides receipts from New
Jersey and Pennsylvania. Prices
range frOm 25c to 75c a bushel In
eastern markets, reaching the same
low level prevailing the first half of
May year ago.
Asparagus was in moderate supply
because of cool weather in prOduc-
ing sections. Southern shipments
are nearly done but Maryland, Della
ware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
are active. Prices recovered a lit
tie from the lowest Maryland, Del

range OF 81 to $780,
Lettuce markets were irregular
but slightly downward in most cities
the first ten days OF May; $3.50 a
crate was top for western lettuce at
most points. Southern lettuce prices
were irregular. Washington quoted
Virginia receipts at 81 a hamper and
North Carolina stock ranged from
81 to $1.75 in eastern cities. Celery
markets were about steady at $3.50
to $3.25 a crate for Florida stock.
Radishes continue in moderate to
fairly liberal supply, mainly from
Virginia, but New Jersey shipments
are starting.
Sweet Potatoes Fairly Steady
Prices Of sweet potatoes declined
at New York, owing mainly
to slow demand. Supplies continue
moderate Eastern markets quoted
from SOC to s1.50 a bnshel, mostly
81 to slips. Best lots from New
Jersey reached $1.5n, but Carolina
red yams have reached about 81, and

COUNSEL FIGURED
 IN VERBAL TILT
Breach of Peace Case Ex- cites Opposing Lawyers;
 Remarks Exchanged

After hearing marked by sharp verbal exchange between Prosecutor Charles Summa and Att torney Joseph Davis, Judge Ed ward Mascolo this morning found Frank Lombardo, 22, guilty of breach of the peace and not guilty of assault, the charges growing from an injury suffered last week by Attorney Herbert Wilcox when struck by a bundle of newspapers by bardo on to the sidewalk of West Main street.
 Judge Mascolo suspended sen- tence on the breach of the peace charge, after reprimanding the de- fendant and giving warning to news dealers that the throwing of bundles of magazines and news papers from moving cars should be halted.
 The exchange between Attorney Davis and Prosecutor Summa took place while Mrs Herbert Wilcox, wife of the complainant, was on the stand to relate a conversation held between her husband and the defendant last Saturday.
 Witness Hesitant
 Mrs Wilcox hesitated noticeably as she testified that Lombardo had admitted throwing the bundle of papers, and finally paused com pletely. As Prosecutor Summa at. tempted to help her, Attorney Da. wis interrupted with. Don't be put ting words into her mouth."
 When the prosecutor denied in- digpantly that he was, Attorney Davis declared: This woman just happened to forget something she learned by note.'
 As the prosecutor was object ing, Judge Mascolo interrupted to tell Attorney Davis that his last statement was "unwarranted."
 Attorney Davis half-apologized. but Prosecutor Summa and he continued their wordy exchange for. several minutes thereafter.
 Judge Mascolo, who heard most of the testimony in the case at a hearing yesterday morning, ex- pressed the belief that Lombardo had been punished enough already. and that his arrest would serve as warning to other news agency workers who follow the practice of throwing bundles from moving. cars to the sidewalks.

Neighborhood House
 Program Described
Mrs Leila I. Alexander Reviews Interesting Program
 of City's Prominent Community Institution

What the Pearl Street Neighbor- hood House has accomplished for the communal interest of Water- bury in the promotion of better in- ter-racial feelings, in the physical, mental and spiritual development of hundreds of youths was out lined yesterday in a radio broad cast by Mrs Leila T. Alexander, supervisor. An acknowledgment of the debt of gratitude due to the generous cooperation of prominent Waterburians was also made by Mrs Alexander who was the guest of the Waterbury Democrat in its weekly interview. The history of the neighborhood house was given most interestingly in the course of the interview.
 In response to question asked of Mrs Alexander by William T.. Harrington, city editor of the Dem- ocrat, the guest speaker paid tribute to the splendid, impartial work of William H. Harris, local EZRA administrator Although re- ports have been received from other communities that colored ap- plicants for relief were the vic- tims of discrimination, Mrs Alex ander stated that happily there were no such complaints current here.
 Founded in 1924
 The Neighborhood Home and it's community program originated in 1924 following a survey made by Charles l.. Johnson of the Nation al Urban League of New York city. The first meeting was called by Rev Dr John N. Lewis of St. Johns church at the suggestion of Miss Alice E. Kingsbury, whose interest in the project has been one of its most sustaining and in- spring features.
 The survey showed a group of 1900 colored residents, including Portuguese. Over one-half were southern born, but 58 per cent had been here for ten years or more. The home life, the social, religious views of the colored people were described in the report and from which basic provisions for the fu- ture work of the home were made.
 Program
 The equipment of the home, gymnasium and playgrounds, which provides wholesome recreation and exercise for white as we'll as color ed people was described in the in terview. The activities of the vari- ous groups within the club encour- aging efforts of pupils in grammar and high schools, of students in college, of debating units, musical groups, dramatics, sick relief, hos pital visits, public speaking classes. cultural and handicraft programs. athletic schedules and other phases were reviewed.
 The personnel of the various committees was also announced. In reply to a question as to the needs of the Neighborhood House at present Mrs Alexander stated that more room and more workers were essential and incidentally more spoons for the little guests of the institution. Robert E. Platt is treasurer of the house.

HAVERHILL MILL
 CUTTED BY FIRE


 Haverhill, Mass, April 12-(UP) Roaring flames and chemical ex- plosions ravaged the Lennox S Briggs Leather company's plant early today and only the combined efforts of 15 fire departments saved Haverhilrs great shoe district from destruction.
 Insurance company officials esti- mated the loss at $125,000.
 Four fire-fighters were injured and scores of others were imper- filed during the two-hour battle.
 The plant, fve-story brick and wood structure, had not been op- erated as Q whole for three years, but one floor was used for manu- featuring purposes and the build ing housed valuable supplies, in- cluding chemicals used in tanning.
 Under fiame-reddened sky, the huge army of firemen marshalled from miles around fought fran tically to save the nearby Pen tucket Associates block, seven- story structure; the Gale block and the Burgiss-Lang company's plant, all of which were scorched.
 The fire, of suspicious origin, ruined thousands of pairs of shoes manufactured for the Easter trade.
 Only by pumping tons of water into the building were firemen able to save the adjacent H. A. Hamel company plant, one of HaverhilPs s biggest shoe factories.

 Among the women players, Miss Murdoch is the only one to win q place in the All-America. She was a member last year, and has risen in her ranking from tenth place to ninth. The list of runners-up, however, includes more women than ever before,-eleyen in all.
 Citation for JacOby
 Mir Jacobys top ranking comes as the result of victories in four of the twelve national champion ships. He gets the following cita- tion: Conceded to be the most brilliant-minded of all the cham pionship-winning masters, he has shown a gradual evolution or de- velopment during the last few years. toward greater conservatism and soundness in both his bidding and in his play. So widely known a few years back for his psychic bids that many people began tc call an especially spectacular and grotesque call a Jacoby', he nov makes very few of them. The brilliant trains of thought that once carried him toward unusual and bizarre decisions now run on the tracks of soundness, thorough ness and extreme accuracy, and their ultimate destination is more consistent success at the bridge table than he ever enjoyed before.
 Miss Murdoch's citation indi- cates how spectacular her play was this year: "The most important single event of the year is the in- dividual masters championship conducted by the American Bridge League. Thirty-six players came together in this, and for the frs; time in history this championship was won by a woman, who beat Becker of Philadelphia by half n match point. Her triumph must be conceded as the greatest single piece of news produced by any championship tournament on the years calendar. It gives her the unquestioned right to boast an achievement more staI ting than any other feat by a woman in the history of championship play"
 Culbertsons Out
 The absence of the names of the Culbertsons from the upper rank ings calls for the following expla- nation: Someone has asked what bearing the extremely interesting match of MT and Mrs Ely Culbert- son against Mir and Mrs Philip Hal Sims can have on the nationa! ranking, and the answer has to be that it can have no influence. MT Sims has won no national event in thte last two years.S Neither Mir nor Mrs Culbertson has won any since 1880. In addition, the style of play with the luck of tEe deal a factor, cannot -be compared to the championship contests, which are at duplicate, with every contestant playing the same hands"
 In summing up the seasons play, MT Barclay notes that con- tract bridge is more and more be. coming a game of youth. "Every year the number of young players in championship tournaments is greatre," he says. "The real vet erans have accomplished very !it- tie in the last couple of years, compared to the forward surge or youth. If anyone still thinks ot bridge as an old mans game, note that this seasons leader, Jacoby, is the youngest top-champion in the history of the modern game, being just past 32. He has played bridge since he was 10, and cham pionship bridge for six years"

She has been fre- quently eulogized for her services. Mrs Alexander, however, insists that all credit must be given to the generous cooperation of Wa terburians, particularly the Misses Kingsbury.
