He then got into his car and drove away. but turned around and came back, parking his car nearby. He then saw Wheeler near the store and gave chase, captur- ing the suspect after a semi-1ying tackle.
 Motor Patrolmen Thomas Ber= gin and Thomas Bedding arrived in answer to a call to police and found several tools at the side of the building in which the markets and drug store are located. Wheel CTS car was parked down the road about 1000 feet.

FRANK WALLACE MARRIED TO GIRL
 NAMED MAE WEST
Perhaps It Was Not Real Mae = She Wants to
 Get Show Down

New York, April 24-UP)- Frank Wallace, a bald, middle aged hoofer, admitted today that he was the original husband of one Mae West. He married her in Milwaukee back in 1911-or was it 1909?
 Mae wasn't a blond in those days" he said. "The Mae l mar ried in Milwaukee was classy little brunette. And as for those curves, she was more on the lean side" He sighed.
 Wallace said that woman who spoke with heavy German accent brought q 16 year old girl to his dressing room while he was play ing in Milwaukee in 1909, and asked him to give her daughter a tryout. The girl was named Mae West. Since she sang and danced we'll, she became his partner and later his wife.
 Convinced It Was Mae.
 Wallace asserted he was con- vinced that his long lost love was the siren of the present day screen.
 New York court records revealed further evidence to embarrass the glamorous Mae in her strenuous denials of having been married. When she was indicted here in 1927 for appearing in allegedly inn moral play, she recorded her So- cial state as "o,arried."
 Wants show Down.
 Hollywood, April "A - (UP)- Mae West, curvesome lady of the screen, today called for show down to settle the somewhat con- fusing question of her spinster- hood.
 I've got a sense of humor," she said, nobody can say I haven't. But this thing is going too far"
 Macs patience became a little worn when she was interrupted while saying mo" to reports of her marriage to one Frank Wallace and asked to explain, if she could. report that Mae West married one R. A. Burmeister in Fort Worth, Tex, in 1924.
 Bad Publicity Gag.
 "It's lousy publicity gag, that's what it is." said Miss West. "and I'm not getting anything out of it. If this thing goes any further I'll call for a real showdown"
 Pressed for further explanation of her variously reported mar riages, the actress sighed.
 "Who knows" said Mae, May be was the original Dionne Quin- tuplets."

has been granted similar request for temporary aid. Following an unusually busy day Monday at the Hartford city welfare depart ment, William J. Ryan, superin- tendent, petitioned the state ERC for temporary assistance.
 Acceding to the appeal, Miss Eleanor H. Little, state EZRA ad- ministrator has loaned several social workers to the Hartford welfare staff "during the emer- gency period" without cost to the city.
 MT. Harris today strongly as- sailed the apparent discrimination of the commission. The city of Hartford, he charged, was the particular "pet" of the ERC and was usually successful in obtain ing grants from the commission.
 He said it had been necessary to use Mutual Aid employees here in cases normally handled by trained social workers because the present staff was unable to cope with the increasing amount of work

 The final rehearsal of the min- strel troupe will be a dress drill at Buckingham Hall tomorrow eve- ming. Director Jack Fitzgerald Is more than pleased with the prev ious rehearsals and has hopes of staging one of the most delightful shows ever seen here. One of the features which should make a de- cided hit with minstrel lovers is the fact that dancing will follow inn mediately after the stage show continuing until 1 a. m. with Jack Fitzgeralds Hotel Elton orchestra furnishing the scintilating rhythms.

A total of 203,747 persons, rep resenting 12.7 per cent of the pop ulation, is on relief rolls in Con- necticut, according to the April issue of "Connecticut Social Trends" publication of the state emergency relief commission, re- ceived here today. Since the ter imitation of the CWA, public un- employment relief expenditures sustained huge increases W h i h have been continuous and pro- nounced, it is stated.
 During the first months of 1885 the relief situation has become more acute. The publication quotes Corrington Gill to the effect that the number of individuals on pub lie relief in February was m r e than 21,00O,000, or more than 15 per cent of the total population of the nation.
 Statistics given for Waterbury are once more erroneous, accord ing to William M. Harris, local EZRA administrator. Relief cases for this city are listed as 1,793 for February, with a total of B. 961 individuals receiving aid.
 2,3OO Families
 There are approximately 2,300 relief cases here, representing a total estimated at more than H. 900 individuals, MT. Harris said. While this number has remained static for some time, MT. Harris said he anticipated slight de- crease with the coming of warmer weather.
 According to the editorial com ment prefacing the April report, "the increasing severity of unem- ployment relief does not neces- sarily indicate that economic con- ditions are growing worse." T publication cites economic ad- vances reported by seven large corporations, among them Bethle- hem Steel, U. S. Steel and General Motors, as evidence of an up-turn. It also quotes the recent report of the bureau of foreign and domes- tic commerce that employment and payrolls, farm income and dtstri- button and business conditions were generally improved in Feb ruary, not only over January of this year, but also over February of this year. 7.
 The concluding paragraph of the editorial seems to presage new developments in relief administra- tion. It reads as follows:

GOVERNOR VIEWS
 BERMUDA VESSEL

Hamilton, Bermuda, The 15-foot sail boat in which Eric Johnson, Warwick Parish, Bermuda, plans to sail to New York from Hamil- ton in June was placed on exhibit here by her owner and inspected by Governor Sir Thomas Astley Cubitt and Commander R. B. Gra- ham, who sailed single-handed across the Atlantic in a 25-foot boat last year.
 The tiny vessel, built by Johnson in his back yard, was declared by yatchmen to have been skillfully and sturdily built and both Gover- nor Cubitt and Commander Gra- ham wished Johnson luck in his Bermuda-New York voyage. The boat, not yet launched, will be equipped with oars to allow row. ing if becalmed or if any mishap should befall the sails. It is con- structed of Berma cedar, a world famous boat building timber in the days when swift Berma clippers piled the seven seas and Berma privateers cruised the Spanish Main.
