AS a matter of fact, the well
coached ground crew at the
Stadium made the double header
today possible. They actually got
down a ten foot tarp on the
pitchers box and fifteen foot
square Of canvas over home plate.
But the infield was left to the
tender mercies of summer
SQuall.
Makes For Business
Well, double headers make for
business in this mans country,
and the crowd should be greater
today than it has been for the
past couple of days.
Have you ever noticed how
much power Ossie Bluege can
get into a half swing? He hit
the left center field in the first
inning with shot on which his
bat got only half way around.
Heinie ManuSh lined into a
lightning double play. The ball
just tlicked the dust and hoped
into Berger's glove. A swift relay
and the inning was over.
The first two Cleveland runs
were gifts, and brother, mean
gifts. Two bases on balls and a
single that should have died in its
infancy. furnished the raw mate
rial. 1t seemed to me that Travis
should have fielded Phillips lazy
single that just slid past him.
Two double plays checked the
scoring activities of the Griffs in
the opening innings. Hayes, with
a bit of luck might have beaten
the relay to first, but Knicker-
booker is both swift and certain
in his moves.

securing sufficient care for the sick.
 Personnel listed on the registry would be of two types, fist the registered nurse who would be available for full-time service or on an hourly basis when the ser vices of skilled nurse are not needed in the home continuously; second, the practical attendant who would be equipped to give bedside care and to assume house. hold obligations where a graduate, registered nurse is not needed.
 The nurse, on the other hand, would be protected by the definite fee for her services which the reg istry would make clear to the pa- tient or his family and the physi- clan would be assured that his pa- tient was receiving the best of care. Since communities differ as to the amount and type of nursing needed, the director of the registry or Nursing Service Bureau" as it is suggested the registry be called, would be a person equipped to analyze and meet these needs for her own community. {.
 Such service carries with it the prerequisites of adequate office space with service available at any hour in the twenty-four; appoint ment of a governing body for each nursing service bureau; 8 director of the bureau and adequate staff; adequate records. A study of the registries in the state is now be- ing conducted.

Today, through Mrs Morrow and others, 1t will clear the name of Violet Sharpe, servant in Mrs Morrow's household, who committed suicide just before she was to be ques- toned by police in connection with the Kidnapping.
 The state will show that Miss Sharpe had been engaged to the

MOTOR TAXES IN 1884 SHOW GAIN
Better .l933 Mark By More Than Two Per Cent Reveals Survey

Washington-The federal gov ernment collected one-ninth of it's entire tax revenue during 1894 from the various excise taxes on motor transportation, according to figures made public today by the National Highway Users Conference, of which Alfred P. Sloan, president of General Motors, is chairman. Based upon returns to the treas- ury department during 1884, the conferences tabulations show mo- tor vehicle owners of the country paid $273,156.947.O8 through excise taxes on gasoline, 1ubricating oil, passenger cars, trucks, tires and tubes, parts and accessories, pipe line transportation of oil and the petroleum processing tax.
 Collections from automotive taxes in 1884 were more than two per cent greater than in 1893. when the total was $267,454,790.68, it was pointed out.
 Commenting on the figures, Roy F. Britton, director of the National Highway Users Conference, said to- day:
 'The treasury department fig- ures clearly indicate the very heavy burden these levies impose on mo- tor transportation and they also show existence of fragrant dis crimination against motor vehicle owners in the matter of taxation.
 Any attempt to justify the vol ume of excise taxes on motor trans- portion would be, in effect, a dec- laration that the United States gov ernment should single out one form of transportation to the source of of one-ninth of the excise tax rev. enue 1t obtains

Costello Found Guilty of Charges Preferred-ln
 Dept l6 Years

Patrick J. Costello, member of the fire department for 16 years, was dismissed from the service to- day when he appeared before the board of fire commissioners on charges of conduct unbecoming a fireman and being absent from duty without permission.
 He pleaded guilty to the first count and not guilty to the sec ond. His defense to the second count was that he had instructed his wife to call headquarters and report him off last Monday eve ming. He was supposed to report at o'clock. He said his wife did call but that the man at the switchboard apparently forgot to make the report.
 As to the first count he said he gave a blood transfusion a week ago Wednesday and then worked last Sunday continuously for 24 hours. Feeling weak, he said he thought a stimulant would benefit him and had taken a few drinks.

Church Opposition
 Moral Says Priest
Catholic U Instructor Tells Local Audience Church Ssf Faces Invasion of Paganism

Monsignor Sheen explained, but through the medium of Catholic action, through the spiritual infiu. ence of persons in various walks of life, and particularly, he stated, not from the intellectual leaders as in the past but from below, from the proletariat. Economical and political influences are too practical to meet the situation, he explained, and the ills are not po- litical or economical, but moral and religious: therefore an imprac- tical solution is the one that will be successful in the present moral crisis. There must be, the mon- signor said, a revival of the mon- astic spirit. Our divine Lord gave the example of the impra ctical method of salvation in his ignom- inous death on the cross, this being impractical rather than practical; {; so too would the solution come about today" explained Monsignor sheen, for he said, "to be human is practical, but to be divine is in- LracticaP'.

ences, Loney decided to come here
 Reilly announced today that Loney would completely refute the evidence of Arthur Koehler, gov- ernment wood expert, who testi- fled that Hauptmann built the kidnap ladder. Loney, however, said he would testify about the blades of carpenters planes and would show that Hauptmann's plane was not necessarily the plane used on the ladder. "
 Hauptmann Is Glum
 Hauptmann himself was gIum at the end of his long trial approach ed. He was shaken yesterday by the testimony of Hannah Fisch, who, speaking through a German interpreter, testified to her broth- CT Isidor's poverty when he return- ed to Germany to die. He also was made unhappy by the testimony of other witnesses who said they were with Fisch the night fo April 2, when the ransom was paid.
 WilentZ said he would conclude his rebuttal at moon or 1 o'clock. The defense probably will have not more than two or three sur- rebuttal witnesses. including Loney.
 At Breaking Point
 The nerves of opposing counsel were worn to the breaking point today. Reilly and Wilentz have snapped at each other during the past few days, forgetting their usual courtroom courtesy. Friends outside of the court, there is little of this friendship showing as they duel over the testimony of the few remaining witnesses.
 One of the rebuttal witnesses was Leo Singer, a Bronx resident to whom Louis Kiss was deliver ing two pints of homemade rum on the night he. says he saw Bruno Hauptmann in Christian Frederick sens bakery.
 Singer will say the delivery was not March l, 1882, the evening of the Kidnapping, but at least 10 days later.
 Stories that Reilly refused to visit his client in the Hunterdon county jail last night were ex- plained by the fact that Reilly was "too busy chasing up Loney and other witnesses" to spend any time with him.
 Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh will not be called as a rebuttal witness, the prosecution said.

Deichswehr leaders have refused for a long time to accept recruits from the SS and SA because they feaFed that the homogeneity of the array would be endangered by the inclusion of large contingents with a definite political outlook.
 The indications are that the younger SS and SA men in the best physical condition will undergo special military training by the [ Reichswehr officers in the belief that for life they will be army men in spirit.
 The Reichswehr and the Nazi units would be profoundly affected.
 The brown shirts, now estimated to humber about 500,000 would lose their most active and most valuable elements to the army. tt is believed that they would be put into special crack reserve after their service. Old royalties would be abandoned.
 The Reichswehr, on the other hand, would change It's entire character. It would no longer con- sist exclusively of experts with a long period of service. i IIALYm WILL ACCEFI ] Rome, FeB s.-(UP)-The gov- ernment will soon announce it's acceptance in principle of the Brit ish French agreement for an aerial defense league, it was said officially today.

. Great unemployment which now prevails among private duty registered nurses, in spite of the fact that some of the sick are not being nursed, will be reduced by a plan proposed at yesterdays session of the Connecticut State Nurses association in Bridgeport. 7 Nursing registries, the place where physician and public both turn when illness requires more care, must attain certain ap- proved standards if they are to be officially recognized by the asso- citation, it was decided. These standards, approved by the board of directors of the association, were stated by Mrs Jean E. Hook CT, of Berlin, chairman of the com- mittee on the distribution of nurs- ing service.
 we are faced by the fact" said Mrs Hooker, "that we, as a state, had no minimum standard for nursing bureaus although the na- tional nursing organization had ap- proved certain standards and had pointed the way"
 The purpose of the registry, 1t was explained. is to establish a central headquarters for nursing interests and to aid the public in

Very Rev Monsignor Fulton T. Sheen, instructor in philosophy al the Catholic university at Wash fngton, D. C., stated last night In a concise and inspiring address at the Waterbury Catholic high school auditorium that opposition to Christianity and the church was not intellectual but morar. Mon- aiRnor Sheen spoke in this city un- der the auspices of the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women and the Diocesan Bureau of Social Service. Miss Kathryn Hayes, chairman of the council introduced the speaker. Following the lecture Rev Eugene P. Cryne, director of the Diocesan bureau, spoke few words of appreciation for the splendid address of Monsignor sheen and thanked the audience for their interest and cooperation in attending.
 There was a large attendance last night including clergy of the city, nuns of Notre Dame and the Catholic high school and from the hospital, as well as members of the council, their friends and many others who have become, in a man. ner, acquainted with Monsignor sheen through his radio addresses, a a,,series of which are now being bnoadcast over the Catholic hour.
 s"The heresy of action." he said, was helping to keep people out of the church." That the opposi- ton is moral is proved, Monsignor Sheen explained, in various ways, one of which is the tone of every fairly recent encyclical, which has been on a moral subject, and in this particular respect he stated that the pope has his finger on the pulse of the world, and that the church is constantly attacked from that particular (moraD angle. He cited as an example the type of book that is eagerly read, stating that 7O,00 copies of a certain book teaching false morality sold to the number of 10000 copies.
 Monsignor Sheen stated that up to the time of the World war CT whereabouts, churches, of what ever sect, were honest in their con- victions and beliefs as to what that particular body stood for; but since then this is not the case. The church is not engaged in civil war or clash and opposition oi opinions today, he explained, but faces an invasion from without the invasion of organism; not heresy, he explained. He stated the difference between organism and leresy, the latter denial of half the truth, the former of the whole truth, and said that the church was more successful in combating organism than heresy.
 Remedies that will help the , church and Christianity in this world crisis will not come through economic and political measures,

"rhey should pull as far to the side of the road as possible and give the snow plow the right of way, since in order to throw snow from the highways and keep them open for public use 1t is nec- essary for the big blows to travel 25 to 30 miles an hour and main tain a steady pace. They cannot dodge or stop for every approach. ing car if they are to do an effec- tive job.
 Many drivers in the past have approached a blow without slack ening speed, expecting the blow to get out of their way. When 1t does not, they try to turn out at the last moment but are going so fast hey run into a ditch and into snow banks, endangering themselves and their cars. If these drivers would slow down and turn out for the blow they would seldom have any difficulty. Snow blows carry brii. liant lights for night warnings. !"
