CHILDREN MUST
 ASSIST PARENTS
Court Passes Order COnl- polling Payment for
 Support of Aged

In the second case in this city in which sons and daughters have been arrested for failure to contribute to thesupport of their parents, as stip- uated by 8 law passed by the 1885 state general assembly, five sons and daughters of MT. and Mrs. Salute DelRusso were today ordered to pay $2 week each for the support of their parents. The order was passed by Judge John F. McGrath.
 In the first case invoking the new law, heard in city court several weeks ago, the children agreed to join in supporting their father. No court order was passed.
 Today's case was brought into court as result of a complaint by the city welfare department, which has been supporting the parents. An investigator told the court that he had been unable to get the chil- dren to agree as to the amounts they should pay for the support of their aged father and mother.
 Judge McGrath stipulated that the weekly payments by the five children should be made to Proba- tion Officer Emil Hummel, with the latter turning the money over to the two old people.
 The defendants in the case were: Modestino Del Russo, Carmen Del Russo, Mrs. Gennaro LaPia, Mrs. John Mariana, and Mrs. John Uriano.

ATHLETIC FIELD
 PLANS APPROVED
Old Driving Park May Be- come WPA Project
 Shortly

Plans for the development of the old driving park on Watertown ave- nue into an athletic field for high schools and amateur groups have been approved in New Haven by State WPA Administrato Matthew A. Daly. However, approval must come from Washington, D. O., be- fore the work actually can be started by the city. The WPA plans ap- proved call for $l21,75 for the es- tablishment of a drainage system at the park and for general grading work.
 It is figured that there will be space for @ 220-yard straight-away track, four baseball fields and for parking of automobiles.
 State Administrator Daly has also approved several other local pro- jects but the local authorities are awaiting word from Washington be- fore proceeding with the work. They include: 2,000 feet of storm sewer on Homer street, $l8,120.06; 4,000 feet of water mains in Charles, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh and Bank streets, $26,672.9O; and 2,500 feet of water mains in South Leonard, Por- ter and Third streets and Wilton place, $24, ,40867.

 The finance board session today is an executive one. The commits sioners quit their work on the figures at 12:3O o'clock this noon hour and then, after lunch, went back to work on the 1030 estimates again. Their session today was expected to be 6 lengthy one.
 Local banks and many individuals owning yinoccupied and olt-of-date buildings have also carried out de- moNshing operations during the year, according to the assessors.
 Doubt was expressed that an in- crease in the 1885 grand list would be noted when the assessors had finally compiled their estimate. The appropriations revenue and tax rate will be computed by the board of finance upon the basis of the fig- ure submitted by the board of as- sessors. =
 Executive Secretary Thomas P. Kelly stated at noon today that the tentative 1886 budget will be ready for presentation to the board of al- dern1en on schedule. The charter requires that the budget must be in the hands of the aldermen by the first Monday of December.

ist leaders broadcast messages say ing Long Live Luis Carlos Presto" and claiming victories.
 Prestes was a leader of the 1924 revolution. He lived in Argentina from 1924 to 1880. The government offered to reinstate him in the army as a captain. Instead he went to Russia, and remained for more than a year. Since then his move ments have been secret but 1t is be- lieved he has spent most of his time recently in Uruguay and Brazil preparing a general revolu- tionary movement.
 It is said that he believes it not feasible to establish @ real communistic regime in Brazil but that he aims rather at 8 form of modified socialist government.
 Outbreak of communist disturb ances was announced officially last night and it was soon apparent that the movement was big scale one.
 The revolt started when non- commissioned officers of the Fist battalion, at Natal, began a march on the palace of the provincial gov- ernment, trying to seize Gov. Ra- fael Fernandez who took refuge in the police barracks. The rebels the r1engaged in a battle with loyal regulars. The fight still was in progress, it was reported, and the outcome was not known.
 The area of Rio Grande Do Notre is 22,189 square miles. and of Per- nambuco State 49,560 miles. Popu- lations are: bio Grande 847,100; Pernambuco 3,244, 300; Natal 35,000; Pernambuco City 43S,159.
 Fighting was in progress in Natal The rebels in Recife were barra- caded in the suburbs, wher eloyal- ists surrounded them. The loyalists avoided @ decisive battle pending arrival of endorsements.
 Situation Serious
 The situation in Natal was seri- ous, with the city virtually in the hands of the rebels. They took over the national telegraph system there and cut communications. They were seeking to overthrow the state gov- ernment.
 A telegram from the mayor of the town of Machyba said violent fighting was in progress there.
 A squadron of three bombing planes left here for Recife. The cruisers Rio Grande Do Sul and Bahia arrived from lila Grande and were ready to depart momen- tarily for the north.
 The war ministry announced that a heavy artillery bombardment of the rebels barricaded in the Recife suburb of Afogados had begun, and that their surrender was expected shortly.
 Official advices of the extent of the casualties in the north were lacking.
 Radio stations here could not contact Natal.
 It was rumored that the gover- nor of Rio Grande Do Notre prov ince, Rafael Fernandez had es- capped from the country aboard Mexican ship.

 Tientsin, Nov. 25-(UP)-Soldiers of 8 new army milled through the streets of Tientsin today in signal that the long planned autonomous northern Chinese government had been established.
 The government is called "the autonomous anti-communist com mittee.' It is under Gen. Yin Ju- Keng, administrative inspector for 8 large northern district. Yin is Japanese educated and has @ Japan- csc wife.
 His government was proclaimed today independent of the central Chinese government. For the pres ent Yin lays claim to govern only a portion of Hopei province but 1t was predicted that before long, with the encouragement of the Japanese army, he would seek to include all of Hopei, Shantung, Shansi, Charar and Suiyuan provinces and take control over 95,000,000 people.
 Yin's army took up its headquar- ters today in the bureau of public education in the main street of the native city. Yin's men marched in every direction through the crooked street, leading coolies who wore arm bands and uniforms similar to those of the Japanese army, including caps bearing the Japanese red star as insignia.

France Has Secured Delay On Er1bargoes

 ing that friendly negotiation may take the place of the present penal ization, and that both the Ethiopian campaign and the increasingly dan' gerous European crisis may be end ed.
 But there was no indication al all that postponement of new penal ties would mean their abandon ! ment. France is cooperating loyal ly in penalties and is committed to . a strong league policy hoping for : British support if there is a future crisis in which France and Ger . many are directly involved. Laval Tn Bad Position Laval really is faced with a deli cate political situation. There is greater tension between left and right groups in parliament than at any time since the Stavisky riots of February, 1884. There is to be a fight soon over the demand by the united left wing groups that the government suppress by law the , big and growing fascist armies" of the right wing. The country is los- ing gold, a new budget must be made up and there is trouble enough for Laval and his coalition . cabinet without having to bother , within the next few days about Italy's possible retort to the impo- sition of an embargo on oil, coal, iron and steel, absolutely essential to the life of her war and peace in- dustries. Clashing groups in par ! lament have been storing up ann munition for a political fight ever since the adjournment last July. League Takes Action Geneva, Nov. 25-(UP)-Augusto de Vasconcellos, chairman of the League of Nations general staff today postponed meeting set for Friday at which leaders were to , consider putting an embargo : against oil. coal, iron, steel and possibly copper to Italy.
 The meeting, Vasconcellos an- nounced, was postponed at the re- quest of Premier Pierre Laval of , France. Laval pleaded that he could not get here for the import ant meeting because the French parliament meets Thursday.
 However, the result of the post ponement is to delay action on the new penalties, notably as regards oil, and it gives Laval another chance to seek a basis for diplo- matic negotiations before the League takes step which it is known would enrage Premier Beni- to Mussolini and seriously jeopar- dize his war on Ethiopia.
 May Delay Embargo Vasconcellos received Laval's re- quest this morning. He consulted officials of the League secretariat and decided to postpone the meet ing. He will decide Friday, 1t was sad, when to hold the meeting. Despite the official explanation, it was believed certain here that di- plomatic conversations of the last few days were responsible. There WIS a growing feeling that the in- position of the oil embargo, origin aly planned for December 16, might be delayed.
 A League communique said in ex- planation of the postponement:

 London, Nov. 25 - (UP) - The autonomy movement in 'Tientsin collapsed this evening, according to an exchange telegraph dispatch, which was unconflrmed from any other source.
 The message said that the auton- omists had discarded their uniforms and evacuated their headquarters. The collapse was attributed by the correspondent to Sino-Japanese ne- gotiations which resulted in @ Japanese decision to halt the move- ment in the interests of peace and order.

a minute and then he could 60. He
certainly did want to find out what
