 There are not even rifles enough to go round. The United Press Addis Ababa correspondent re- ported that the regular army even now numbered hardly more than 15,O0O men and that it was un- likely to be increased to more than 30,000 within the next few weeks.

1 the French Republican vote in Wa terbury. Party success and party solidarity mean nothing to him. Having alienated the support of all the old time republicans in Wa terbury, either through his destruc- tive political acvtivities or through his newspapers, the additional loss of thousands of otherwise normal ly republican votes, did not interest him.
 Even the returns of the last three city elections have taught him nothing. All he is determined on is, if there is. republican party in Waterbury, that he will run it, or if he can not run 1t, there will l. no republican party in Water bury.
 "The organizers of the Independ- ent Republican movement have different ideas than MT. Pape. They believe that 1t Is possible to have a party organization which will neither be joke to democrats nor something which republicans of respectab ability and standing will avoid like smallpox. They believe the party can be reborn into something worthy of support and they know that re-birth can only be accomplished by getting rid of MT. Pape once and for all.
 "Our membership lists are open to all young republicans who wish to live their political lives without MT. Pape's halter around their necks and to all former, but now inactive, uninterested members of the party who have been driven out in shame and disgust by Will liam J. Pape's greed for power"

FRANK SALINARDI
 MAKES CHARGES

(Continued from Page 1.) fight and then had given re- sistance when placed under arrest.
 Motor Patrolman Meaney testi- fled that he had come on the scene in a cruiser car and that Salinardi was battling with Patrolman O'DeA when he arrived.
 Karpelman Blamed
 Salinardi blamed the start of the trouble on Patrolman Michael Karpelman. He testified that the latter met him on Union street and said: "O'Dea's looking for you and he says he's going to pinch you" Then, the accused said, he found O'Dea on Canal street and asked him what the trouble was. The fight was as much the policeman's fault as his, he claimed. Salinardi said the officer hit him in the back with his club. backing one eye and knocking out several teeth.
 The accused then declared that as he was being booked at head quarters, he was grabbed from be- hind and his coat ripped, after which he was placed in cell. Some minutes later, he claimed, the six poIicemeit came to his cell, threw open the door, and invited him out. Patrolman John Moyni- han, he said, put up his fists, and said: "If you want fight, come on out and I'll give it to you" Captain Cutting, ranking night of ficer, was there at the time, Sali- nardi testified.
 No Challenge Issued After Salinardi's version, Judge McGrath called Motor Patrolman Meaney back to the stand and asked him if anyone had challenged Salinardi. Meaney said no one had.
 You always seem to be in dis. turbances," said Judge McGrath to Salinardi. Thirty days on each count"
 At this point Attorney Sweeney told the court that Salinardi had several witnesses to the Canal street trouble, and asked a day's continuance to bring them in. Tho postponement was granted, with Salinardi being freed on bonds of $500.
 Police Superintendent Joseph H. Mclean told reporters that he did not believe Salinardi would file any charges, but that if he did, they would be acted on as if they had been presented by any Waterbury citizen.

is marked by him for politica destruction."
 Afr Dunais explains that MT Pnpe started his custer action Against MT. Dillane because Dil. lane would not let Pape run the feEistrars' office. He supplement- the statement by saying that "lr order to get at MT. Dillane, Henry 0sConnor, the democratic registrar had to be involved.
 Mir. Dunais says that the pub fisher is determined that eff there is b republican party in Waterbury that he will run 1t, or if he cannot run 1t, there will be no republican party in Waterbury"
 Mir. Dunais' Statement
 Tn announcing the formation of the new independent republican party. Mir. Dunais issued the fol- lowing statement:
 "It Is necessary to inform the real republicans of Waterbury as Co the purpose of the organization and my own position regarding 1t.
 ssThe purpose is to substitute BOha-fide rule for the illegitimate control now exercised by William U. Pape; to build up the republican party, not to destroy it from with tn, as MT. Pape is doing; and to draw to its ranks not only fresh recruits but to re-enlist those old time members who were responsi- ble for it's former success.
 "It Is to be independent, not of the will of the majority of the party, but independent of MT. pape.
 A 'As to my own position; have been a republican since the day l was made a voter, have always been an active party worker and a former officer of the French repub- lscan organization in Waterbury.
 q am, and have always been, a regular republican and at the pres- .ent time I am the chairman of the first ward republican organization. My party regularity, coupled with my refusal to let MT. Pape do my Thinking, speaking and acting for me is the real reason for his legal action to get me out of the regis trars' office.
 Anyone who will not submit to Mr. Pape's demand for ownership of the Republican party in the city and in the state is marked by him for political destruction.
 Thomas F. Dillane, a faithful member of the republican party and the former republican registrar of voters would not let MT. Pape run his office. MT. Pape, therefore, started the court action which had him removed. It did not matter that Mir. Dillane was innocent of any conscious wrong-doing in the conduct of his office, that he was q very sick man who might die at any moment, and that he was Eligible for retirement on a pension an few years. MT. Pape could not w0it either for retirement or death. He wanted Mir. Dillane out.
 "But in order to get at MT. Dill lane the democratic registrar, Henry O'Connor, had to be in- volved. It did not matter to MT. Pape that MT. O'Connor had never done anything to him, that he, too, was sick man, about to retire on . pension, with a good reputation after more than 25 years of hon. est public service. He had to go so that MT. Pape could pay off his xrndge against Mir. Dillane.
 T was appointed by Mayor Hayes 10 fill MT. ,Dillane's unexpired term. Mr. Pape was not permitted to dictate the appointment. That was enough to make him go after my scalp. It did not matter to him that his Snita against me would alienate

(Continued from Page 1.) his establishment yesterday, called the state liquor control commis- sion office at Hartford to determine whether he would have to stop sell ing. Many of his patrons called for a glass of beer during the day and were disappointed because they could not obtain a refreshing drink.
 Must Stop Selling
 The commissions office reported that he would have to stop selling until his new permit was received, because he was not included in the class that obtained the injunction from Judge McEvoy.
 The liquor commissions secre- tary, Edward Peters, announced however, that beginning Monday the issuance of new permits would commence. It is assumed that the commission will attempt to take care of those permitees whose per- mits have expired since July and who have been forced to stop sell ing as well as those who have fal- len in the so-called twilight per- iod."
 A number of liquor dispensers in the city believed they were cover ed by the injunction order issued Monday by Judge McEvoy, but in view of the liquor commission s stand, they are not. Only tavern and package store men are allowed to operate, because those two groups obtained the injunction.
 Injunction Would Help
 If the restaurant men wanted to continue to sell even though their permits expired, they should have obtained an injunction similar to the one obtained by the tavern and package store men.
 The wisdom of the tavern and package store men in obtaining an injunction, which at first was thought senseless, in view of the proximity of the date for the is- suance of the new permits-Juiy 22nd, is now seen to have been ex- cellent foresight.
 The problems and difficulties are expected to vanish after Monday. however. when the new permits be- gin to arrive in the city.

services of two or three federal

agents.
 Justice department officials have promised" to permit several agents to resign so they could join Blacks staff. They probably would return to the ranks of e. men" when the inquiry ends.
 The procedure is necessary, 1t was explained, because republ- cans protested it would be impos- sible to obtai na flair" picture of lobbying" for and against the legislation if the committee was permitted to use services of men regularly employed by executive departments.
 Why Beach Was Called
 Beach, whose offices are at A. G. E. headquarters at Ithaca, N. r., was summoned after E. W. O'Brien, Erie, Pa., securities man. ager, named him as the man who had organized the campaign in which the company admitted spending $700,000 to defeat the utilities bill.
 "If the company followed the same course elsewhere as it did in Pennsylvania" Black said to-day, "it would be impossible for us to determine whether they spent $700,000 or $5,000,000."
 O'Brien, a chubby little man who told of Cleaning out" files of the Erie office, testified he re- ceived orders directly by telephone from Beach. He said he relayed them to half-a-dozen other offices in his district.
 "Mr. Beach told you. didn't he," Black asked, "that he didn't want the papers accessible in case of an investigation ?"
 "Yes," O'Brien replied, after a pouse.
 Fay Cash for Telegrams
 O'Brien testified Beach ordered all state securities managers to pay cash for thousansd of telegrams sent to senators and representa- tives opposing the holding company measure. After several questions relating to the necessity for such a policy, O'Brien said the com pany didn't want a record kept of any checks, adding:
 We were going around in a more or less quiet way"
 Schwellenbach insisted the com pany's policy throughout the cam paign was lone of concealment." |" O'Brien refused to agree with Schwellenbach, but finally said, after persistent questioning:
 Tt might have been."
 Revealing the committees in- tention to examine into the A. C.. Els activities in it's 26 operating states, Black asked:
 He Didn't Remember
 "Did Beach tell you that the company was going to destroy every record it had everywhere in the United States in connection with the Wheeler-Rayburn bill?"
 T don't remember" O'Brien replied.
 Chairman John J. O'Connor said the house lobby investigation would be resumed Tuesday. He expects to announce appointment of counsel within the next day or two. He will employ about six investigators to inquire into utility lobbying.
