 ment is pacifist. It would sup port no British government in n war of aggression but there is one thing that British trade unionism is prepared to fight for freedom"
 Awaiting Lewis Report Addressing the federation's 56th annual convention while delegates awaited the resolutions committee report on suspension of the John l.. Lewis rebel unions, Altmeyer ex- plained the cost and benefits of the Social Security Act which goes into effect in January.
 Tn no case does the worker get back less than he paid in," Att meyer said. And in no case does he get back less than he would get from 8 private insurance company.
 "At the same time, 1t is true that the lowest income workers get the greatest relative benefits.
 Let me emphasize that the card which each worker must sign does not require him to give any inti- mate details of his. life, or his church affiliations or his marital affairs. also emphasize that the information which is required will be kept completely confidential"
 President William Green indi- cated that the federation would not be able to hear the proposed ap- peal of striking Atlantic and Gulf maritiem workers who yesterday were condemned by e convention resolution for striking in conflict with the leadership of the Inter- national Seamens Union.
 "1n any event." Green said, "we could not extend recognition to any group In conflict with the I. s. U., which Is an affiliate of the A. F. of L."
 Green Led Scoring
 President William Green led the federation today In a violent de- nouncement of dictatorship and a summons to the worlds working class to stand like the rock of Gib- raltar" in defense of democracy.
 "The church may fail, the cham bers of commerce may be impotent and the civic leaders may lack the power to deal with the tyranny of dictatorial rule" Green shouted to the federation in assailing the regime of "the autocrat in Ger many
 But the trade union movement at which dictators strike flrst-has the strength to prevent the rise of disatorship In any form at any time and any place.
 We must take our lesson from what has happened and develop trade unionism to stand like the rock of Gibraltar against every dic- tator. And I say to our British brothers, we stand with you against war.
 We are against 1t and in my opinion 1t Is going to be impossible to involve the people of the United States in another European war"
 Democracy rests in the keeping of trade unionism," he declared
 And if freedom comes again to the nations now under an iron rule 1t will come through rebellion of the working people.
 We learn with indignation of the prosecutions of the Jewish race In Germany. We protest against this prosecution of a noble race and we are again'S this autocrat in Ger many who has oppressed that race We will continue our boycott in order to innress upon him the strength of trade unionism and to emphasize to the German people the unity of workers"

 Left to Do Chores
 Paulesky left the house. telling his wife that he was going to do some chores before leaving for Water bury to answer the charge of driv. ing while under the influence of liquor. The son went to look for him when he failed to return and found his father lying in a pool Of blood. the shotgun at his side.
 Iii city court, Paulesky's death was not known. and his case re- ceiyed the regular continuance to Mondays session of traffic court.
 Humiliated by Arrest
 Humiliation over his arrest Is De. iieyed to have led Pauiesky to the act. He was released on bonds last night, after having been held since the accident and Joked with police- men. as he was leaving.
 A few minutes before noon yes- terday Paulcsky and his wife were riding in their farm truck along Riverside street. Apparently think ing that dirt road near the Chase Park swimming pool was the en- trance to Chase Park boulevard, Pauleysy swung his truck toward tho road. As he did 50. the truck grazed a milk wagon, veered off ana struck 6 hydrant. Then 1t climbed Q short distance up the road, went out of control and fell backwards, landing on its side, and knocking down several small trees.

EUROPEAN PEACE
 HANGS BY THREAD

 Premier Mussolini's subsequent de. rnand for additional men and guns for the Italian army were regarded as designed to intimidate France with the shadows of marching men and to cause her to withdraw farther from her military alliance with Soviet Russia.
 Such @ distraction, offlcials here believe, would enable Germany to consolidate the peaceful penetration which she has been attempting for some time in Czechoslovakia, with the object of bringing that border nation into the economic and poii- tical fold with Italy and Germany. With Czechoslovakia in line and Q corridor to'the Soviet frontier open. cd to Germanys marching NaZi marching troops, Chancellor Hitler would need only access to Ruman- ia's oil fields to be ready to strike in the war against communism which he and his Nazi associates have 50 opnely preached.
 Military Leaders Talk
 A further move in preparation for such Q blow is seen by both dip- lomatic and military observers here in the consistently reported entente reached by Italy. Germany and Japan, Military leaders here long have been convinced that should Soviet Russia become engaged in Q war with a power oil the west. Jap- an would move immediately on the Siberian. border where conditions similar to guerilla warfare have eX- isted for several years.
 Soviet leaders are believed to be fully aware of these developments on the international horizon, put just as powcrless to prevent them They can only call the attention of other European nations to the sir- ister situation developing, and add as rapidly as possible to their nili- tary machine. \
 Competent Observers
 At least, this was the view voiced by competent American military ob- servers. They believe France will not fight for Soviet Russia unless France is actually attacked. and ob- servers here do not anticipate such an attack. They believe that France will be held neutral by the threat ot 1taly's huge war machine on ner obrders; that Italy is not likely to become actively embroiled with So- viet Russia unless France gets into the fray, but will more likely re- main as a guarding bulwark on the German flank while the German army does the real fighting.

 Ask for Time
 Chiffon was ordered also to ask Franco to allow proper time, pe- fore any attack was made on Bar celona, for evacuation Of all brltlsn residents. Chiffon is now on the French Spanish frontier.
 Commons met today with mem bers acutely mindful that on the poyernment's decision in the blocK- ade problem, to be reached m con sultation with France, depends the immediate course of growing crisis in which Nazi-fascist nations of the Continent are banding to- gether with democracies on the other side. Maj. Clement Atlee, la bor party leader, expressed the anx- ious concern of many Britons when he asked if Eden could make a statement on the blockade situation The young foreign secretary rose and said quietly: T have received no communication regarding the blockade.
 May Bombard Barcelona
 However, the government did re- ceive November l7 CTuesday) a communication from the Burgos (nationalist) administration regard ing A possible bombardment Of Bar cclona." Faces of members grew grave and thoughtful when Eden disclosed that the nationalist note "a note by an unrecognized gov ernment to Great Britain-that If necessary the great port or Bar celona would be ,"destroyed." The note explained. Eden said, that the nationalist action was due to "a scandalous traffic in arms, even Of toxic gases, carried in ships flying different flags whose real national ity was largely Russian and Span ish."
 Warning to Ships
 Then came the warning for for eign ships to abandon their anchor age at Barcelona and the advice that foreigners and other non-com- batants leave Barcelona. Eden said that the nationalist note warned foreign ships to quit Barcelona within "a very short time in order to avoid possible damage which may unintentionally be caused to them on the occasion of military action of which no further warning will be given" Thus 1t was up to Britain and other nations to warn their ships to respect a blockade by a faction in rebellion against the rec- ognized Spanish government or to risk precipitating a European war

 The Justice said he would reserve Judgment on the method by which the winning mother, or mothers, should be determined.
 Will Declared Legan
 ITO sum up the conclusions at which have arrived" Justice Mid. dleton declared, T do not think this will can be attack on the first ques. ton of offending public policy.
 Nor do I think the will can be at- tackled on the question that 1t tends to encourage immortality. For dig- tribution the money involved, Is confined, in my view, to mothers of legitimate children only.
 "If there is any ambiguity the will must be construed in the sense of tipholding It's validity.
 T therefore answer the question submitted to me and hold that the clause referred to Is valid and those entitled on It's irtestacy are not en- titled to take"
 T reserve judgment on the ques- ton as to those entitled to take un. der the will for future argument and decision"
 Justice Middleton's statement was understood to mean that lawyers representing the various mothers will be given opportunities to pre- sent their claims, and possibly arrive ct some agreement with Millar's trustees regarding the method by whchi their clients will be consid- cred for at least part of the money involved.
 The reference 'by Justice Middle ton to those entitled on It's tthe wiil'b) intestacy" not being entitled to take, eliminates oil of Millaf's relatives, i3 of whom sought to break the will. from receiving any part of the fortune. 9I5

Bethesda's evening service was
especially enjoyable last Sunday.
Pastor Wellington brought a mes
sage of vital significance. Church
was over at 9 o'clock but the lesson
stayed with US. If folks could be
assured of getting away at that
hour, Sunday night services would
be much better attended in all
churches. The mems newly Or
ganized Brotherhood Club COM
pleted organization at its Monday
night meeting at the parsonage.
They decided to give another en-
tertainment, probably a dinner, on
June 8. The clubs main objective
will be to increase church atten-
dance and to this end will devote
much thought and effort. The
men will meet again Monday night
at the parsonage and later will
hold regular meetings once a
month. Sunday the Gospel Chorus
will furnish the music.
