BOROUGH HOUSE
 BURNS TO GROUND
Wind Fans Blaze Hy- drant Half Mile Away
 $10,O0O Damage.
Special to The Democrat)

Naugatuck, Sept. 30-Fanned by a very brisk wind the home of Frank Sokolosky on City Hill street near Pond hill, was burned to the ground about 10 o'clock this morn ing. Damage is estimated at close to $10,000 with the structure being partially covered by insurance.
 Nobody was hurt in the blaze which Is believed to have started in the attic of the house. Frank Sokolosky, owns the structure and lives on the first floor. Anthony Sokolosky resides on the second floor.
 Just what caused the fire is not yet known. Fire Marshal Michael Shea was making an investigation this afternoon. However, firemen were called about $40 by a phone call and 10 minutes later all ma chimes in the department went out when box alarm, 51 was pulled.
 A 40-mile-an-hour wind had given the fire a big headway before the firemen got there and the smoke-eaters were further handi- capped by the fact that they had to go about half mile from the scene of the fire to lay a hose to hydrant, none being closer to the house.
 The blaze was a spectacular one and there was a large crowd wit messing it. Some of the furniture in the house was removed but de- spite the work of the firemen the building burned practically to the ground. A cat, owned by the fam fly, was saved from the flames by the fremen.
 The nearest hydrant was near the corner of City Hill and Wooster street, so local residents saw the phenomenon of water running up hill.
 Chief Milton Calvin directed the firemen, being one of the first on the scene. There were no build- ings in the vicinity except chicken cop so the flames could not spread.

ELECTRIC CHAIR FOR MODEL YOUTH
 IS ASKED TODAY
Two Hours Used By Dee fense Atty-PrOsecutOr
 Urges Verdict

Courthouse, Worcester, M a s., Sept. 3O-(UP)-Thc government today asked a Yankee jury to send Newell Paige (Iiny) Sherman, 28- year-old choir singer and "model boy" to the electric chair for ale legedIy drowning his young wife for another girls love.
 Courthouse, Worcester, Mass, Sept. 3O-CU.P.)-In an impassion- ed summation that lasted nearly two hours, Chief Defense Counsel William w. Buckley tried to-day to convince the jury that Mrs. Newell Paige Sherman was not drowned by her husband but was the victim of a canoe accident.
 Buckley surprised courtroom spectators at the choir singers mur der trial by completing his closing argument without making any di- rect appeal to the jury to acquit his client.
 Nor did the 220-pound defend- ant take advantage of his consti- tutional right to go on the stand again and deny the crime which has placed him on trial for his life.
 As the short, stout lawyer paced up and down before the jury box, gesticulating and raising his voice repeatedly to emphasize his points, Sherman sat in the prisoners pen, more nervous than heretofore and with face flushed.
 Buckley stressed the willingness of Esther Hall Magill, 18-year-old "other woman," to carry on an illi- cit love affair with the defendant despite her knowledge that he was married and father of two children.
 Referring to the prosecutions contention that Sherman got the idea for the crime from Theodore Drieser's An American Tragedy, Buckley shouted: ,fa,.,-i.
 "The drowning had to be spec tacular to satisfy the police. They had to have 1t according to the bok mentioned"

WAR MAY BREAK
 AT ANY MOMENT
Observers Expect Italian. Ethiopian Clash Sooner
 Than Expected
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE limited Press Cable Editor

New York, Sept. 3O.-UP)- The long-awaited war between Italy and Ethiopia is expected by European observers and corres- pondents in Africa to break out any day now.
 True, the rainy season has not yet definitely ended, and 1t prob- ably will be 10 days to two weeks before extensive military opera tions are possible from Somaliland into Ethiouia's southern lowlands.
 On the Asmara front in Eritrea to the north, however, the land consists of a, long, rocky upland slope to the Ethiopian plateau and Addis Ababa. The weather there was fair and clear on the Eritrean side of the border. It, does not take the country so long to dry out after the rain and an Italian advance ought to be possible shortly.
 Mobilization Awaited
 General Ethiopian mobilization was awaited momentarily. The or- der is all ready and merely has to be issued. In response, at least a million savage black warriors will stream from their villages and concentrate in bands of 500 all over the country. [
 Instead of battalions and ranks of massed men who can be cut to pieces with artillery and machine gun fire and bombed from the air, the Italians will be confronted with mobile little bands familiar with the rocks and vantage points of the country where they can find safety and make swift attacks

 Boulder Dam, Nev., Sept. 30 - (UP) = Government, spending has created the, purchasing power, now. it is up to private industry to maintain the recovery pace set by the New Deal, Presi- dent Roosevelt told the na-. tion today. z
 The $1O8,0OO,OOO Boulder Dam, completed with PWA funds and Americas greatest engineer ing achievement since the Panama Canal, served as backdrop to MT. Roosevelts speech which clearly indicated that the administration also had completed it's major fi- nancing program in putting the idle back to work.
 Effects Now Seen NJ ''It is a simple fact" the chief executive said as he participated. in the dam dedication exercises. that the government spending is already beginning to show definite signs of it's effect on consumer spending, that the putting of peo-. pie back to work by the govern ment has put other people to work through private employment, and that in two years and a half we have come to the point where private industry must bear the principal responsibility of keeping the processes of greater employ-s mcnt moving forward with accel-i erated speed"
