TWO SELLERS OF BROWN SUGAR
 UNDER ARREST
Joseph Pope, Tn o ma $ O'Dea Held on Techni-
 cal Charge By Govt.

H
 Invoking a new law. aimed at the illicit liquor traffic, the federal gov- ernment moved against two Water bury wholesalers in one of the first cases of alleged violation in the Whole country. Armed with federal warrants. Deputy U. s, Marshal J.. J. Marsh arrested Joseph Pope who operates a wholesale business in his own name at 24 Chatfield ave- nue, and Thomas A. O'Dea, mana ger of the Naugatuck Valley Wholesale Grocery Co.,, 176 Mea- dow street. The date for formal hearing on the charge against Pope was set for August 9th, and he was freed under bonds of $500. A hear ing in O'Dea's case was slated to be held before U. s. Commissioner Harry Krasow this afternoon.
 Technical Charges
 It was indicated that the arrests were on purely technical charges, and that no criminal intent on the part of the two accused will be claimed. The arrests were based on a recently enacted congressional measure which makes it obligatory for wholesalers and dealers to re- port in full transactions in which more than 100 pounds of brown sugar is sold to one person or firm. Brown sugar is used often in the manufacture of alcohol, and the new law will help the government in it's drive against the illicit liquor traffic agents to keep a close check on the sale of brown sugar.
 Pope is charged with violation of the law by listing fictitious in- dividual as the purchaser of 5000 pounds of brown sugar. O'Dea is charged with failing to report the sales of 5000 pounds of brown sugar during June and July. Both arrests followed federal investigations.

der a five year contract and will now sub-lease, can rot on it's foundation.
 In the statement made by the strike leader that the firm had made and sold more than $3,000,- 900 worth of goods during the past year, no mention was made that the Mill street building was open for bids. It was brought out by Schub that more than 450 experi- enced indergarment workers could be hired at short notice, the same girls who produced work during the past twelve months in record breaking patches.
 In speaking of Charles w. Camp bell, Schub said that he wondered if the communist leader was hired by the Connecticut Manufacturers association, or the Berkliffe or Wa tertown Undergarment companies. He said that he could not make himself believe that Campbell was resentful because he had failed in his efforts to be recognized by the strikers The sudden action on the part of Campbell, according to the local leader, is evidence that he has become something of strike breaker, which he would not con slider being unless it was well worth his while. He said that he would not attempt to prevent any further action by the pickets in dealing with the communist.

ABUSER OF JEWS
 UNDER ATTACK

Berlin, July 25.-(UP)-The ex- tremist methods used in the anti Jewish campaign of Julius Streicher, Germany's leading Jew batter, were attacked today with surprising sharpness by Emil Stuertz, official Nazi spokesman and deputy district leader of the Nazi party in Southern Westphalia.
 In an article published in the party's official district organ, West faelische Landeszeitung, Stuertz did not refer to Streicher nor his paper, Der Stuermer, by name but scathingly denounced the familiar mottoee and features of Streicher's anti-Semetic weekly.
 He literally quoted Der Stuerm- er's motto, "The Jews Are Our Dis grace" and said the real Nazi does not havet utter "such hysterical hen laying eggs"

 "I just want to call attention to the fact the dictator of the Reich is not making any agreements un- less his country gets the lions share of benefits" Dickstein said. Preliminary conversations have been held regarding the proposed trade pact, but many doubt agree ment can be reached on monetary exchange and debt issues. Likewise, it was not expected that Kings proposal would be giv- en serious consideration. King Asks Severance Washington, July 25.-(UP)-An attack in the senate on Nazi rule in Germany brought Americas in- ternational relations today into the | foreground of congressional af- fairs.
 The attack, made by Sen. Will liam H. King, D., Utah, was be- | lieved, however, but little more than a gesture. Proposals to sever diplomatic relations with Germany and to enact series of neutrality measures probably will die in com mittee.
 Kings assertion that he regard ed conduct of Adolf Hitler as brutal, cruel and barbarous," ere ated a sensation in congressional and diplomatic circles. Official com ment, however, was withheld. He proposed a resolution requir- ing the senate foreign relations committee to study the situation in Germany and decide whether 1t should recommend severance of diplomatic relations with the Hit Ter regime.
 Kings resolution. it was believed will wind up in the same pigeon hole which encompasses the Borah resolution calling for an investiga- ton of alleged religious persecu- tions in Mexico.
 Nazi Drive Goes On.
 Berlin, July 25 (UP)-The Nazi drive against Jews, Catholics and War Veterans went forward un- abated today, with instances piling up in all sections of Germany.
 A cross-section of events is giv- en in dispatches from the follow ing cities:
 Mecklenburg-UPolitical police disbanded three steel helmet or ganizations in this district. confis- cated their funds and forbade them to wear uniforms.
 Koenigsberg-Police announced that Jewish merchant, Kowalski with his Jewish friend Hirschberg and a former communist named Zander had been taken into cus- tody after the smashing of the windows of Kowalskfs shop by unidentified persons. The morning after the windows were broken, Zander was alleged to have re- marked, "this is German culture" police there claimed it was likely Zander had smashed the windows at the merchants own request, to discredit Hitlerite organizations.
 Heilsberg-Secret police closed the premises of Catholic youth or ganizations in the Bishops Palace because four black, red and gold flags were found there. The black,

Osnabrueck-The prefect in a statement sharply condemned part of the Catholic and Protestant clergy for refusing to hoist the Swastika flag on churches on na- tional holidays. He announced that in future, coercion would be used to assure that all churches are dec- orated on Nazi state festivals. Duisburg-The Burgomaster or dered all city officials to resign immediately from religious organi- zations of civil servants and also to take their children out of the confessional youth organizations, declaring, "the state is entitled to demand that its employees give the state what is due to it."
 Weimar- Father Oberthuer, a | Catholic priest in the village of Birkungen, was taken into 'pro- tective custody" accused of hostil- ity to the state. The secret police chief, examining him, asked wheth- CT he knew national socialism a. lone had prevented the Bolshevists from coming to power in Germany, thus saving the church. The priest replied:
 Things could not be worse un- der a Bolshevist regime"
 The German press meanwhile joined in apparently inspired at- tacks on foreign correspondents, accusing them of deliberately col bring and exaggerating events here The papers declared the corre- spondents would do better to look at their own countries, where far more serious events are occurring daily and are being played down.
 Catholic Protestant rioting in Belfast, increased lynchings in the United States and Jewish pogroms in North Africa. Under the head ing "How it looks elsewhere" the Mittag rounded up the Irish dis turbances, with 130 arrested; shoot ing in the Argentine senate; 160 injured in rioting at Lahore, India, and 60,000 on strike in Terre Haute Indiana. The paper said Terre Haute was like city under mar ktial law.

In answer to statements made by Attorney Herman J. Weisman, representative for the Watertown Undergarment Company, Bernard Schub. organizer and leader for the Undergarment union, stated that he will not furnish names of tex tile manufacturers to anyone con nected with the Watertown Com pany because in doing so he would be acting as an agent for the firm. He will recommend other locations In the city to legitimate union manufacturers, he said.

The pres. ent week has been particularly distressing to those who like their weather fair and clear. The mercury has been in the sos during most days of the week, with high humidity making work and even play uncomfortable. Showers have fallen at intervals since the weekend, with not one entirely fair day having been recorded in the past week.

 Doughton's announcement point ed to introduction of a measure early next week, with house action expedited. It also cleared the way for the senate finance committee to begin hearings Monday.
