SAARBRUCKEN, Jan. 12.-NaziS
are conhscating plebiscite voting
cards of Jewish residents in the
Saar. leaders of the anti-Nazi
United Front complained to the
League of Nations governing COM
mission today.
Members of the Nazi German
Front, the anti-Nazis charged, are
going among the Jewish residents
and asking them how they intend
to vote in tomorrow's plebiScite,
which is to decide the future of
the Saar territory.
The Jews, anti-NaziS said, invar-
iably replied that they would vote
for return of the territory to Ger
many and then the Nazis asked the
Jews to hand over their voting
cards, thus depriving them of the
possibility of voting.
The Nazis' motive apparently was
that they suspected the Jews, no
matter what their protestations,
would vote against return, and the
Jews declarations in favor of Ger
many would be but natural in view
Of fear of summary reprisals if
1t was found they voted against the
Reich
Voting will begin at a. m. to-
morrow. SaarlanderS. residents and
former residents who have come
from all over the world, will decide
whether the Saar shall revert to
Germany, remain under League of
Nations rule or become French.
Ballot counting will be started in
the early hours of Monday morn
ing and the result will be an
nounced around s a. m. Tuesday.

PASSION PLAY ON
 SCREEN TONIGHT
Capitol Theater Offers Cole Orful Film With Sound
 Effects and Music

Patrons of the Capitol theater this evening and tomorrow will witness a Passion Play depicting scenes from Jerusalem, Nazareth, Egypt, Mount Golgotha and along the historic Jordan river. All scenes shown will have the sound met wide approval in other cities and are daily playing to thousands. The, management of the Capitol theater has been extremely fortun- ate in securing the privilege of showing them first in this city.
 The actual theme of the pro- duction dates back to the year 1883 when the Village of Oberam- mergau, in Bavaria, was overtaken by a terrible plague. On its ces- sation the entire population made a VOW to perform the Passion Play of our Saviour every tenth year out of gratitude, a vow which has since been faithfully observed. The impersonator of Christ considers his part an act of worship. He and all of the resst of the cast have been selected from among thousands of aspirants.
 Those who attend either to- nights performance or tomorrow's will witness one fo the most im- pressive, soul stirring, heart-reach- ing and wonderful creations of the motion picture industry. The pie ture was long in the process of makeup and cost the producers more than three million dollars.

PART VI.

which will not be made until 1942, will be greater than they would be If on strictly earned basis" The report states that to be actuarially sound the contributory old age pension plan would need a total re- serve of 75 billion dollars, and the committee strongly opposes the es- tablishment of such a reserve. It estimates that it's own plan, incor- pOrated in the bill, would provide a reserve of little over 15 billion dollars. In other words, this bill would provide pension fund which would be twenty per cent solvent, because there would be a maximum unfunded floating debt by the government to the people of the country of nearly 60 billion dollars.
 In the unemployment compensa- ton system proposed there is pro- vision for payment only by em- ployers into the federal fund. In every foreign unemployment in- surance system now in operation both employers and employees con- tribute, and there has been little objection to this, although in Eng land the trade unions say that neither employers or workers should contribute, but that the government should bear all of the cost since it is not possible to pro- vide real insurance" against un- employmen
 When Governor of New York, MT Roosevelt said to New York State Federation of Labor in 1880:
 $''I hope the next administration and the next legislature will take up practical, definite study of unemployment insurance, avoiding, of course, any form of dole, and basing their investigation on sound insurance lines under which the state, the employer and employee would all be joint premium pay ers."
 The Economic Security commit tee has set up its own judgment as superior to that of President Roo- sevelt, who established the com- mittee. It is interesting to note al- so that the committee is so con- fident of it's own superior wisdom that in addition to repudiating the views of President Roosevelt it con- suited actuaries and then repudi- ated their views, saying "that these estimates are too high"

ITALIAN CONSUL
 DEFENDANT HERE
Named in Suit Against Track=Walker's Estate;
 Board Bill Basis of It

The $1,500 civil action of Adam Pecci against Pasquale DeCicco, Italian vice-consul at New Haven, was expected to reach jury for deliberation in the common pleas court before court adjourned at 5 o'clock this afternoon. The plain- tiff sues to recover for board and room he claims he furnished Paci- fico Copponi, track walker for the New Haven road over a several years period.
 Mir DeCicco is named defendant
 because he is the administrator ot Copponi's estate. The defense went on fiust before the noon recess,
 when Mrs Eleanor Mockus took the stand she seldom saw the plaintiff during the last year years of Copponi's life. She said the only time she remembers Pecci coming to her home, was when he sold a quantity of wine to the deceased. During the last three years of Copponrs life, he was a boarder at Mrs Mockus' home. He died in the summer of last year. Attorney William K. Lawlor appears for the plaintiff. Judge Edward Mascolo defends. Judge Miles F. McNiff presides.

Clerical Error Made
 In Gambling Charge
Judge Expresses Surprise on NOlIe RebOrt-Cases
 Assigned for Hearing Tomorrow Morning

Newspapermen were informed at city court this morning that 1t was through an error that the case of Clelio Varvelli, 50, of 598 South Main street, charged with keep ing q gambling machine, was re- ported nolled yesterday. Instead. continued until Wednesday morn- ing and will be tried at that time along with three others.
 Revelation that the nolle was re- ported through a mistake cleared up the situation, for no s O n given in city court yesterday for the nolie and reporters, when they found the Varvelli sliu marked "nolled" after court, were at loss to understand why the nolle had been given. No testimony was heard iL the case and no no- tice of nolle was announced.
 Prosecutor Joseph Neagle said after court today that all four gambling machine cases will go through tomorrow. "No nolles will be given in any of the cases," he declared.
 JuUge SurpflScU
 Judge John r. McGrath was among those who this morning ex- pressed surprise that the case had been reported nolled. He thought that the error was one on the part of reporters for the two evening papers and asked where the in- formation had been secured. The Democrats police reporter point ed out that the slip had been marked with the word H'Nolled" and when the slip was examined, 1t was found that he was correct. The slip should have been marked "Continued to April g."
 Four slot machine cases were scheduled for yesterday morning. In checking the police slips and warrants after court was over yes- terLay, repo. ters found only three of the cases marked as contin- ued, while the Varvelli slip re- corded nolle.
 Four store owners were ar- rested, three of them on the same day, when the vice squa d late last month raided stores in which slot machines were allegedly in operation. When the cases were first called in court, Judge Ed ward Mascolo disqualified himself on the grounds of previous legal business with the accused and con- tinued the cases till April 1.
 In addition to Varvelli, the cases heard tomorrow will be those of Chester Zembruski, 38, of 333 Walnut street, John Rocco of 694 North Main street, and Arr mold Guerton of 236 Bank street.

March Busiest Month Recorded In Years

March was by far the busi- est month of the year thus far for the fire department, ac- cording to statistics at head quarters. Alarms for the month reached a total of 17O, making the period one of the busiest months in several years.
 The 17O total for March compares with 59 alarms for January and only A for Feb- ruary. The city seemed on the way to new low total for fires when March came along with it's brush fire epidemic and an average of almost six alarms a day.
 The. fire department figures were released this morning by Lieut. Michael Fiahcrty, aide to Chief Thomas J. Lynch at headquarters.
 A study of the list of alarms for March shows that brush fires made up by far the Iarg- est percentage of alarms. The brush fire series did not start until late in the month, but during the last nine or ten days of the month fircmcn were kept almost continually busy fighting the brush blazes. The busiest day of the month showed . total of 20 alarms.
 Fire damage was not great, considering the large number of alarms sent in during the month. The most damaging blaze was one in an apartment house at 43-47 Center street. Many of the brush fires were stubborn but most of them did little or no property damage.

A nolle was grant, ed Harvey Hoyt charged with vio- lation of the rules of the road when Judge McNiff accepted the report Of State Policeman Leo P. Null cahy who investigated the case.
 The trooper suggested that it is more of civil case than criminal. Prosecuting Attorney William J. Larkin asked the court to read the report and the court then ordered the nolle to be entered.
 The cases of Nick Christofano and Theresa Condari, both charged with keeping a house of i'll fame were withdrawn from the docket. The appeals both had taken from city court fines, were withdrawn when the accused paid the a. 
 Continuances were granted Jerry Hebert, charged with theft; Frank Barone, charged with violation of the liquor law and keeping a house of i'll fame; Michael Day, charged with assault and breach of the peace and stephen Sarriero, ciiarg- ed with violation of probation.
