pleted motor car. Among the 'in- visible exports produced in this area which go into the manufacture of an automobile are bolts, brass and copper products, push buttons. caps for gas tanks, hubs and radiators, castings, tubing, forgings."
 MT. Bauer revealed that sales of American motor vehicles in foreign countries rebounded from a low of 180,000 units in 1892 to 565, ,000 last year. This improvement" he con- tinued, "has brought with it an in creasing demand for parts manufac- tured in Waterbury area Conse- quently, there is close relationship between a healthful employment situation in this area and the Suc- cess attending efforts to expand ex- ports of automotive and other products from the United States"
 Benefits State
 The motor spokesman predicted that under the reciprocal tariff pol icy automotive sales in overseas markets may gradually work back to the record of 1929 when one mil lion American motor vehicles were sold in foreign lands. If that goal is reached, there will of course be 8 doubling in demand for supplies such as this region provides"
 The importance of the recently concluded Swiss and Honduras re- ciprocal trade agreements to the state of Connecticut was also stressed by MT. Baur. In these pacts, he said, this country was granted concessions on a wide range of products, many of which are impor- tant to the farmers, laborers and manufacturers in this state. He dis closed that "the Swiss duties on electric refrigerators have been bound against increase and our quota has been increased 40 per cent. Switzerland also granted duty re- auctions on imports of typewriters, calculating and accounting ma- chimes" Tariff advantages granted by Honduras apply to 37 commodi- ties, number of which are of in- terest to Connecticut.

THREE ENTOMBED MEN MAY BE DEAD

Moose River, N. S., April 15-(UP) Three men entombed in an aban- doned gold mine were condemned to almost certain death today. A rescue shaft driven in three days through 70 feet of almost solid rock, seemed about to collapse driving rescue workers to the open
 Exhausted miners began a new shaft down through tons of rubble toward the 140-foot level where the men were trapped by rock slide Sunday but, even with the aid of a steam shovel and tractor sent her by the Nova Scotia government on a special train from Halifax, the rescuers feared they would be toe late.
 Until mine inspectors called the rescuers out of their shaft last night, the workers had expected to reach the entombed men today mining experts said the rescue tun- mel might collapse at any moment
 Smoke still Altering through the slide over the old mines original shaft encouraged belief that Dr D. E. Robertson, Herman MacGill and Alfred Scadding, the buried trio, still were alive.

LEATHER STRIKE
 CAUSED RIOTS

Boston, April 15-(UP)-A new ef- fort to settle the North Shore leather strike was scheduled today in the wake of violence last night that re- suited in wrecking of two trucks and injuries to at least five persons. Representatives of the Louis J. Hamel company of Haverhill and the National Leather Workers Union will meet with the state arbitration board. Most seriously hurt in last nights rioting was Bram Pickens, 38, of Haverhill, guard, whose skull was fractured by workers who ambushed a truckload of leather at West Peabody.
 The driver, Reginald Francis of Haverhill, and a second guard, Fred Johnson of South Groveland, also were slugged. A second truck was waylaid in Saugus, near the Lynn line. A mob overturned the truck, fired it, and beat the driver and two guards. Union officials claimed the Hamel company violated terms of a truce by attempting to move hides from the Hoffman Leather com pany plant in Lynn.

THIRD ATTEMPT TOPOLSON BOYS

Leesburg, Fla, April 15-(UP)- investigation of the third attempt this year to poison high school students through their lunches re- vealed today that the poison used may have come from the schools chemistry laboratory. Sheriff M. R Gibson said that about 25 students had access to the laboratory. Sev- eral poisons similar to the uniden- tified alkali that sent one boy to hospital with dangerous internal burns, were kept for experimental work, Gibson found. The poison was placed in lunches of two students but one, Smiley Allen, a senior classman, detected a strange odor in milk and did not drink it. Norman Cason, freshman, took only one bite of poisoned sandwich and felt its effect immediately. Physi- clans said the poison acted much like lye.
 Cason's vocal organs may be in jured permanently. Allen told Sher- if Gibson that two times before in the last semester he had suspected that milk in his lunch packet had been tempered with, but he had thought it merely prank and threw the milk away. The first time, he said, the milk was of a reddish hue. The second time, as yesterday, it had an offensive odor.
 School authorities said there was no apparent reason why Cason and Allen should have been selected by 8 poisoner. Allen in particular, they said, was one of the most popular boys in the school. He is driver of the. school bus.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, April 15-UP)-The new California wools were practically the only greasy shorn domestic lines moving in sufficient volume to establish market prices, according to today's report of the U. s. Agri- culture department.
 While these transactions were mostly on wools that had not as yet arrived in Boston, the business was broad enough to give fair idea of market values. Fine and 1-2 blood clips of good French combing length were estimated to be bring ing around 78-80 cents, scoured basis, delivered east, for middle county and northern wools fairly free of defect.

WOMAN SLAYER
 STILL AT LARGE

New York, April 15-(UP)-Inyes tigators of the assault and strang- ling of Mrs. Nancy Evans Titterton began today to compare her slay- ing to the perfect" crimes she plotted many times for magazine readers. Five days study of the apartment where the pretty young writer was slain, of clothing ripped from her by her assailant. and of the bathtub into which the killer dumped her to die of strangulation, revealed not the slightest clue to the identity of the slayer. police said.
 An ultraviolet ray process of in- specting fabrics and woods. used recently in a pew examination of the Lindbergh kldnap ladder, dis- closed heretofore undetected stains on the dress ripped from Mrs. Tit terton. But the brightest minds iFl small army of detectives were un- able to find significance in them Aside from the discovery. police added nothing to their progress.

CATHOLICS MUST
 FIGHT COMMUNISM

New York, April IS (UP)--Catho- lies must join a crusade against communism because the church is the final defender of democracy against the Red Menace" the Rev. Edmund A. Walsh, vice-president of Georgetown University said at the annual meeting of the National Education association last night.
 Defining communism as "the chief progeny issuing from the supposed ly hygienic union of rationalism and technology" Father Walsh charged that its purpose was "to win the bewildered minds of men to a new organism and economic material ism"
 He traced the birth of commun- ism to the machine age. He said that "The industrial age has culti- vated the spirit of things and dis couraged things of the spirit" and predicted that in the end it would be revealed that communism and the machine age have benefited the body of mankind more than his spirit.

THREAT REVIVED ON QUlNTUPLETS

Montreal, April 15.-(UP).-A l3- month-old threat to kidnap the Dionne quintuplets was revived to- day by remarks of Dr. Allan R. Dafoe.
 In an interview, Dr. Dafoe ad- mitted to reporters that at one time, 13 months ago, a threat to kidnap the five famous babies had existed A police guard was assigned to the hospital at the time, he said, and still is being maintained.
 At that time it was reported that plans had been completed to abduct the children from their northern Ontario home and rush them by automobile or airplane across the United States border. AS soon as the guard vas established the threat vanished. The guard is still being maintained but their present duties are to direct tra lsc and keep the thousands of curious spectators who visit the hospital, in order. Dr.. Da- fc, was angry that local corre- spondentS of United States newspa- pers had misconstrued his remarks and wrote that the kidnap threat still existed He refused to make an official deniel of the story be cause it's not worth denying. It's silly"

(Continued from Page 1) France would attempt to stand as buffer between her estranged al- lies, Great Britain and Italy, dur ing tomorrow's discussion of the Italian Ethiopian war at Geneva.
 Premier Albert Sarraut and Jo- seph Paul-Boncour, minister of state met at the interior ministry to fix French policy.
 It was learned reliably that the government will send Paul Boncour to Geneva determined to stand as a Fence between Britain and It. ally. France will maintain freedom of action regarding sanctions and keep the best bargaining position, if necessary ultimately trading her support of Great Britain on the Ethiopian dispute in exchange for the latter's active backing in the Rhineland crisis.
 Drifts From England
 The first indication that France does not consider herself completely bound by the Anglo-French mili- tary arrangement in the Mediter- anean in case of war with Italy was given today by the semi-official newspaper Le Temps.
 The paper warned England that she has every reason to avoid war in the Mediterranean, "the weight of which shee will have to bear alone"
 AS the French ministers began their conference, the Italian spokes- man in Paris said oil sanctions would not prevent Italy from con- tinuing the war, and therefore Rome is not worried by them. On the other hand, he said, Italy ob- jects most strongly to oil sanctions because of their political implica- tions.
 Italy Has Won War
 "Italy has won the Ethiopian war and will do everything not to lose the peace," the spokesman said.
 Prior to the ministerial confer ence, Foreign Minister Pierre Etien- ne Flandin conferred with Vittorio Cerutti, Italian ambassador. Elan din will go to the department of Yonne tonight to resume his elec- toral campaign, Paul-Boncour will entrain for Geneva at 11:20 p. m on the same train with Anthony Eden, British foreign secretary.

Sikorsky Tells or Flying Chances m Stratosphere

were weak. Then began to use the oxygen equipment. When we reached 25,000 feet, the thermome- ter registered a rapid drop until 1t reached the final figure, 35 degrees below zero. When we gained the peak of our flight, we calculated the temperature was 40 degrees below zero"
 Heating has never been a prob lem in modern transport flying, but it was interesting to note the abso- lute clarity of vision and atmos- ture. That of course, to my mind, is phere at that height and tempera- the most important factor of .hign altitude flying. When one reaches 20,00 feet, there is an absolute ab- sence of any atmospheric disturb ances. There are no tornadoes, or dust storms, or bad weather up there. Ice doesn't form on the wings to creat hazard, and there is no passenger discomfort.
 "The matter of further research in the stratosphere angle of flying passengers Tn huge transport ships rests with the aeronautical engi- neers now. Until they design some system of ventilation to do away with passenger discomfort, flying at 35,000 feet is pretty well out of the practical side of transport flying"

MASS. WILL GET
 PLENTY OF HELP

Washington. April 15 - - Works Progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins today promised "imme- diate action" on Massachusetts flood reconstruction projects plan ned by Governor James M. Curley. The relief program, including new bridges and highways, was discussed by the two officials in conferences yesterday. Tn intend" Hopkins said, that the WPA do it's full part in cooperating with the state. The important thing is that the job be done promptly and efficiently" Hop- kins said the prgoram would em- brace both bridges and highways
 'The federal government" he said lis prepared to finance 50 per cent of bridges on federal-aid highways through the Bureau of Public Roads Small bridges will be repaired and rebuilt by both funds which had been made available by the state and the WPA." Hopkins pointed out he already granted Massachu- sets $3,300,000 for flood relief, but said up to the present time these grants have been made exclusively for the benefit of cities and towns, and not for state projects"

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Stratford, Conn, April 15-C CUP)- Transport flying in the stratosphere is possible but impracticable at the present time, Igor Sikorsky, famous Russian designer of clipper planes, told the United Press today. The increase in speed to be gained in flying at 35,000 feet, which is where the stratosphere begins, is not worth the price which must be paid" he said. The discomfort to passengers at that height would necessitate an entirely new and extremely compact oxygen system installation. This, unfortunately, would cause de- crease in the pay load of a trans port ship"
 Sikorsky said his observations, made over period of years, had been corroborated yesterday when he flew on the record-making flight of one of his S-43 amphibians with his chief test pilot, Capt. Boris Sergievsky. The plane reached 27,- $50 feet. At 10000 feet" he said. T began to feel uncomfortable and breathing became more labored. Nc- ticing this waited bit longer and then attempted to move about. My movements were heavy and my legs

Tnvisible' and direct exports from Waterbury and surrounding territories have an important bearing upon full employment of workers in this area" George F. Bauer, export manager of the Automobile Manu- lecturers association, declared today in a conference with Frank J. Green, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce and Leroy Gibbs of the Home club, local organization of factory executives.
 Exports of typewriters and office appliances, sewing machines, thread, and other products manufactured in Connecticut amounted to $53, 3,000,0 in 1929" he said. Tn 1892, export shipments of these products fell to low of $15,000,0O0 but, under the new reciprocal trade policy, are again increasing to more normal level"
 On N. E. Tour
 The motor executive is on trip through southern New England cities studying the effects of the reciprocal trade agreements program upon To- cal conditions. Conferences with groups interested in foreign trade have been arranged for him in im- portant centers in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
 With Improvements in the large scale exporting industries, such as the automobile, typewriter, refriger- ator, radio, canned goods and similar groups, there have been advantages to Waterbury of both direct and indirect nature" MT.

SPEAKER BYRNS
 BLOCKED VETO

Washington, April l5- CUP) - Speaker Joseph w. Byrns today put off a house vote on the $3,000, ,000- = 900 Frazier Lemke imitation farm mortgage refinancing bill when he ruled that the vote-forcing petition. now carrying PA names, needed four more to become effective.
 The ruling temporarily set back efforts of inflationists to force house action against administration wishes. They had held that only 2l5 signatures were required-a ma 1ority of the sitting membership, which is now 429 due to six vacan- eies.
 Byrns held however that ma- jority of "the whole membership" was 2i8, CT one more than half of th, 435 members elected in Novem- Der, 1884.

 The complete flood damage, he estimated, would reach between $750,000 and $1,000000.
 Important Features
 Ee said there were a number of important features affecting the cash account, among them the re- duced passenger fares ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion, effective June l; the doubtful action of the ICC regarding reten- tion of emergency freight rates, which would mean loss of $1,800,- = poo 8 year if they expire June 30, and the reconditioning of freight cars before Jan. l, 1888, at an un- estimated cost.
 LOSS WOulu be HeaVy
 Unless the ICC adopts com- promise plan proposed by the New Haven" in conjunction with other eastern carriers, he said, the loss would be $4,000,000 a year. The compromise plan suggests the basic rate be two and one-half cents a mile instead of two.
 He told stockholders and direc- tors you may feel confident that the interests of all will be protected during the period of reorganiza- tion."
 Arthur E. Clark, Hamden, who has served for 25 years as secretary to the board of directors, was elect ed Q director. All others were re- elected without dissenting vote of the 1,274,391 cast. The annual re- port also was accepted.
