NYCREN OFFERS HEARD'S TRIAL
 AS HIS ALIDl
Union President Says He Was Tn Court During
 Trouble on Street
tContinued rron Page One)

lence in connection with the alleged riot on Lower Front Street last June 24 or at any time during the strike at the Alaska Juneau mine was made by Charles Crozier and Al Nygren this morning as the de- fense began its case in behalf of the 24 defendants remaining on trial, Ed Engberg one of the de fendants having been cleared for lack of evidence.
 Nygren was President of the old union and holds the same position with the new group which is said to be an affiliate of the American Federation of Labor. Crozier was a trustees of the old union and is Vice President of the Local 203.
 Crozier on Stand
 Crozier, first witness called by the defense and former candidate for mayor, testified he had been in Ju- neau since 1929, coming here from San Diego after getting out of the Navy. He said he worked at the A. J. until the union went out on strike last May 22. The witness said he was trustee of the union and was chosen to that position along with Is others by a vote of the rank and file.
 The court upheld the objection of prosecution that the steps lead- ing up to the strike, number of union membership and so on were imma- terial to the present case Crozier then testified that he knew Neil Heard. who at the time was Score tary of the union, and described him. Asked if he knew where Heard is now, the witness replied that he did not but thought that he was not in the Territory Heard left Juneau several months ago after being con- victed of criminally labelling Mayor Isadore Goldstein in an article ap~ bearing in the Alaska Labor Dis patch of which he was editor at the time.
 Denies Reports
 Crozier emphatically denied that Heard had asked the men at the union meeting how many had guns or clubs and how many would use them as Government witnesses tes- tified. The witness declared that at a union meeting the night before the alleged riot, Heard had told the meeting that the city was putting on some 500 gunmen and what Croz- fer termed "clubmen" in connection with the effort of a certain group of men to return to the mine to register for employment. Heard ask ed, the witness said, if the union men, or those assembled in the Union Hall, were willing to face them, referring to the clubs and guns.
 Asked if Heard had said anything about a box being provided in the Union Hall for guns and clubs to be dropped in as testified by Gov ernment witnesses, Crozier replied that such thing was silly" and denied Heard or any one else had said any such thing.
 Summoned in Heard Case
 Crozier testified that he had been sllbpoenaed as a witness in the trial of Heard for criminal libel

Puzzline Theme

ITO a Wild Rose" by Mac
Dowell, the theme of which Is
shown above, is a rather puzzling
composition of fragile mood. The
composer left no definite word
picture in explanation of the
meaning Of the piece. Without
the proper Interpretation, the
work sounds commonplace; inter-
probation is more than half Of
the beauty Of this composition.
Like the wild rose, the music
is tender and delicate; the wood
land atmosphere where the wild
rose flouriSheS best, may be felt
in the accompaniment. The light
est winds cause the wild rose to
sway gently; sudden gusts of
wind set the entire woodland
(accompaniment) in motion. A
fragment of this theme is used
to bring the piece to a close.
The three tones Of the first
measure are the same as those of

mand a few more facts before pointing an accusing finger at any insurance com pany doing business in this sector and getting the high rate.
 We've got to disprove certain things that these companies claim, namely, that the number of accidents here are to blame. There must be more to it than that. In fact, we recall hearing one prominent in- surance man, in explaining the case, say that the claim frequency not only war ranted the high charge for liability cov- craze, but also the frequency and size of the damage claims paid. Several times in the past we have urged an effort to prove or disprove this. Perhaps this legislative demand will bring the real low-down and enable motorists to get together for their mutual protection in securing lower rates. After all they are figured on cer- tain statistics which also prevail in other towns.

Study Well The Facts

In few days Waterbury's legislators will be possessed of certain facts that will give picture of the basis for automobile liability insurance rates in the Waterbury and Naugatuck district A conference in Hartford this week, al which Representa- tive John D. Thoms of this city and Will liam r. McDerm0tt of Naugatuck were present, revealed that in the two places the rates are 10 per cent higher than those prevailing in other communities in Con- necticut.
 The latter information is not news. It has been apparent to Waterbury motor ists for several years now that rates here are high. We suppose you could use the word excessive to apply to them, but to do that you would have to prove good many facts. And right now the average motor ist hasn't got the figures available to say rates here are excessive. He can charge jt, ag the two legislators above practically did In their measures calling for probes of the rates, but proving it is quite different.
 Actuaries of the Aetna and Travellers Insurance companies appeared at the above hearing, held in the office of the State Insurance Commissioner, and gave their side of the story IL was the insurance men who state that Waterbury and Nau- gatuck rates were 10 per cent higher lt Is this very fact, admitted today as it was two and three years ago when we became liability insurance conscious and began asking why, that makes one pause and de-

Rome Letter
By THOMAS n. MORGAN United Press StafY Correspondent

Rome. (UP)--Italy is inspired by the United States achievements in her new civil aeronnutic program. For tho past few years she hah been watching attcntiycly the prog rcss made by civil air navigation in the states and step by step she has tried to follow.
 The announcement of regular mir serVice between Home, Paris
 and London, the projection Of q tra nsatiantic service between Rom. and Buenos Aires arc indicatiYe that she is now ready to launch an extensive international campaign in civil acronautics such as she hat already done with her military aviation.
 Now under construction arc two of the now types S 74 which will make the, initial flight tD carly spring between Rome. Paris and London prior to q regular estab- lished service. The time between Home and Paris is three hours oi flying. between Rome and London four hours of flying.
 Acc Is Named W Mussoiinis crack pilot. Attiiic BIseo is said to be designated nf oncof the pilots for this spring trial. With the succeps of the Lon don and Paris services. Italy hopes to establish direct and regular routes with eastern European ca pltals by the end of the year. or as soon us she can construct the necessary planes. Itaiy'a great hindrance to ex- tensive civil air navigation iS the heavy cost of pro iuction. There if little mass production in the Amer icon sensc. Motors for airplnnes are not turned out by the thou. sands. Two hundred Douglas planes can be used in the United States where Italy could use only three or four Of similar type.
 It has evon been suggested by Italian airmen that steel frames might be bought in America and thus costs would be reduced about half for half the onginc cquipmeni would be needed. But the whole scheme of Italy's airmindedness it based on the use of Italian ma. chimes, wOrkmcn and material. No Night Flying
 Although such vast projects at night travel with lighted airwnyi such as the United states now has are only vague hopes as Tar nt Italy is concerned, the South AL lantlc service Is the second step fn Itaiy's civil airfnindedness.
 The first drawback In having . powerful enough but light piano ie being overcome. The type $ % used by Baibo in his flight in 1882 to the Chicago fair ia too heavy ia consider, but q type similar to the Is 77 which resembles the new Douglas plane is now under con. atruction.
 Tho greater drawback is the necessity of agreements between Italy and tho countries which iie in the direct route to South Amer. lea. It is unlikely that either France or England will grant such a privilege to Italy.
 Portugal which has nothing tt lose and much to gain by the establishment of such q servict might be induced to allow Italy aii ports both in Portugual and Pcrtu' guese Guinea on the west African coasct from whence there is th' shortcst hop to the north coast o' Brazil.

 Wntcrbury's senator George T CuIhane is sponsoring q bill in the legislature that if enacted would abolish state control of liquor in favor of the county commissioner system, go called. that nourished in tho preprohibitiOn era.
 This legislature is certain to cf- feet some important changes in existing liquor stdtutes. and it should. There is much to be said in favor of permitting bona fide hotels ma established restaura nth of good repute to dispense alco- holic beverages on the premises as ig now permitted under the laws of the states Of Mnssachusetts, Rhode Island md New York.
 But three is little to be said In favor of permitting every tavern 10 dispense strong liquors over the bar. Ono of the strongest nrgu- inents to bring about repeal Of tho prohibition amendment was pre- dicated on the assurance that by legalizing the sale of beers and light wines in public places, the bootIegging evil would pass from tho American scene.
 There was no thought Of bring Ing back the corner liquor saloon or the old time "dcad houses where vile liquors were dispensed under tho warrant of a license be- slowed by the county commission.
