Continued from Page D day. osservatore expressed disap- proval of Father Coughlia's activi- ties and said statements attributed to Bishop Gallagher that the Vat ican wholly approved of such activ- tiles could not have been made by the bishop, because they were un. true. Corrispondenza said the Os- servatore article should now be fol- lowed by a new denial from Bishop Gallagher of statements attributed to him in the United States press.
 Commenting on Priest
 Commenting on Father Coughlin's continued activities, Corrispondenza said: "The disappointment of the Vatican is by no means slight. The situation is adjudged very displeas- ing and most delicate. The Vatican had done its best to arrive at a so- lution of an internal character in order to avoid the matters being aired in public .. with inevitable repercussions." Questioned by the United Press about the source of his information, Guilio Castelli, ed- itor of Corrispondenza, said 1t was thoroughly reliable and Its accuracy could ont be disputed.
 Vatican Irritated
 He said the Vatican previously had contemplated intervening in the Coughlin case, but was hesitant be- cause 1t felt the repudiation of Father Coughlin's activities might be taken to mean that the church is backing up the radiop riest's po- litical opponents. Castelli said:
 Instead of improving. the situ- ation has rgadually become worse the Vatican is profoundly ir- ritated. l have been told that Os- servatore's comment should be con- sidered the gravest admonition by the Vatican to Bishop Gallagher to carry out its instructions"
 Castelli added that he under stands the apostolic delegate to Washington has been instructed to watch Father Coughlin's future acc tiyities,

 Although the A. P. Of L. de- nounced activities of the c. l. o. last November, Lewis and his associ- ates declined to leave the Federa- ton voluntarily. William Green, A.

mell across the bricSe under a hea- " fire. Many bullets fell in France. One Loyalist, shot in the liver, dragged himself on hands and knees across the bridge, bleeding heavily. lice communicated the United Press The French major of frontier po- automobile in which to carry the wounded to hospital from the bridge, where I am watching the fighting, to Hendaye.
 The injured include several Bel- gian Communists. d.,
 With their capture of the bridge, the Rebels hold control of the front fer all along this area, and the Loy- alists can reach France only by wa ter. Thus French left wing men can not deliver the carloads of nu- nitions they. had hoped to get to San Sebastian-munitions on which the defenders of San Sebastian are depending. Ammunition is short and Irun fell only when the Loy- alists' ammunition was exhausted.
 Rre Ready To Die
 we are ready to win or die" civ- il Governor Ortega announced.
 Loyalists erected barricades on the road between Irun and San Se- bastian, under the imuzzles of Rebel guns in the hills. Several hundred of them built barricadeS in the streets of Fuenterrabia, on the tip of the coast at the French frontier, hoping to hold off the Rebels there the expected first point of at- tack. A lone group of 30 Loyalists last of on army, took up their post at the Spanish end of the Bidassoa bridge from Irun to France, and hoisted red flag in invitation to the overwhelming thousands of Rebels to attack.
 The Rebels swarmed in the hills along the entire road line from Irun to San Sebastian, and their artil- lery commanded the road and the railway. They were ready at a word to attack, eager to complete their conquest of the -Fuenter- rabia- -Pasaj jes-San Sebastian area.
 Defense Outposts
 Basque nationalists of tt.s Loyal. ist defense force pushed forward de- fense outposts southwest of San &c., bastian, especially at Lasarte race track and Hernani, where rebels were close by in thousands.
 Governor Ortega, returning to San Sebastian from the French side, in an address to the people, said:
 T am going to direct the city's defense myself. The Rebels have taken Irun, with unprecedented vio- lence. Unfortunately we lacked war materials. They were needed on other fronts. But every yard of ground was defended. The Rebels know how much in blood every yard cost. They bombed Irun fe- rociously because 1t always has been a republican city. But everything is in readiness here for us to win or die"

Rasmussen has filed his petition with Town Clerk Dora A. Egan ask ing that his name appear on the voting machines in the 18th district laong side the union party label. Ills candidacy for this office automatic. ally retired him from the post Of supervisor in the ranks of the Con- necticut N.U.S.J. He is the second N. U. s. J. man in Waterbury to be obliged to retire as an official cf the social justice group because he had entered the campaign as cam didate for office. The other one who retired was Frederick w. Puckey who is seeking to have his name placed on the voting machines TOT the office of congressman in the first district on the union party ticket.
 Names Successors
 MT. Puckey was president of the fifth congressional district N. U. s. j.. His successor has not yet been selected. At the next meeting 1t IS likely that Puckey's and Rasmus- sens successors will be named, although there is race on for the former post.
 The republicans of the 18th dis trict feel that if they endorse Ras- mussen they will have a good chance of seeing Senator Lawlor go down to defeat. Rasmussen, 1t is figured would not only draw the republican vote but by being a candidate on the union party ticket would also draw the N. U. S. J. vote. Further more, his name would appear twice on the voting machine, once along side the republican party label and once along side of the union party label. s
 Alderman George Kingston is said to be leading the movement in the 18th district to have Rasmussen endorsed by the republicans.

CITY EXPENSES
 FOR SIX MONTHS
Continued from Page l,


 prepared by Controller Daniel J. Leary and made public by Mayor Frank Hayes Is the fact that during the six-month period the city paid out $25S,S6l.66 on WPA projects. This shows that the city has been called upon to spend heavily In or. der to keep local federal jobs going and, thus, provide relief for men who would be out of work other wise.
 It was this large expense item for WPA projects that prompted the mayor to call in the local lnanu- lecturers two weeks ago and ask them to absorb the men on relief jobs as quickly as possible so that the city's growing expense along this line can be cut down. Other wise, 1t was pointed out, the city will have to raise the taxes or is- sue more bonds. The sale of bonds would serve to increase the tax bur- den, also.
 Summary For Six Months
 The summary for the six months Is as follows: Redemption of bond ed debt, $9o6.50o appropriated. $S4S.- 500 disbursed; interest on bonded debt, $697, ,62i .26 appropriated, $S62,- e57.2S disbursed; state. military and county taxes, $205, ,384.Si appropriat- ed. $i62,887.56 disbursed; old age as- sistance tax, $l30,658.l0 appropriat- cd, Si3i ,Soe.SS disbursed; ordinary recurring expenses and permanent improvements, S4,T40. .e30.67 appro- priated, $2,6oO, ,4e6.06 disbursed.
 While the city paid out more to the state for the old age pension tax levy than was appropriated there was no deficit created. The city collected more than the amount estimated when the ieS0 budget was set ID.

The savings department has cash assets of $35,600 and assets other than cash amounting to $9,600. Pay ment of a 10 per cent dividend in the commercial department would amount to $92, 2,l6s.70, leaving a bal- ance in cash of $i0,8Si. 80. A 10 per cent dividend in the savings depart ment would amount to $35, ,286.83, leaving a cash balance of $3l3.i7 and assets other than cash of $9,600.
 Should the plan providing a 14h per cent dividend for savings de- positors and 5 per cent for conlmer- cial depositors, be approved, 1t is probable that liquidation will be completed within a few months.

 s.--Reporters should not be per- mitted to crowd about the court room.
 s.-The trial judge should exercise supervision over the giving out by the court reporters Of traracr.pts of the evidence"
 Justice MnC0ok Agrees
 Supreme Court Justice Philip J. McCook of New York, who also spoke to the bar association, agreed almost entliely with Chief Justice Maltbie's program, except on the question Of permitting drawings to be made in the courtroom.
 T believe" said Justice McCook, that 1t should be permitted. be- cause 1t keeps reporters out Of trouble" n.
 With scur murder cases, one of them of the sensational sex variety. scheduled to come before superior courts of the state this month, ob- servers speculated on whether any of the trial judges would follow out Chief Justice Maltbie's recomr1en- datioEs.
 Protect Our Juries
 Under his program, Justice Malt" bic said, i've can protect our Juries reasonably from being influenced by articles in the newspapers"
 If we follow the method I ad- yocatc," he continued, and are watchful against fragrant acts cal- culated to inflence the jury outsice the courtroom, we can, l am conii- dent, greatly minimize the evils which accompanied the notorious trials.

 It would also provide dividend of per cent for commercial de- positors, making a total of 90 per- cent received by that group.
 Payment of an additional dividend to commercial depositors at future date would also be probablye. De- positors in both departments have thus far received dividends of 85 per cent.
 The other plan submitted provides payment of fiat 10 per cent divi- dnd to depositors in both classes and would leave balances in both cases, making further dividends pos sibe. Commissioner Perry, in his application today, asks superior court to advise him which plan to follow. The application will be heard by Judge Patrick B. O'Sul- liyan when court opens here next Friday. \
 In the commercial department, present assets include cash amount- ing to $23,000, other assets of $2,500.

(Continued from Page D left, that Richard Merrill and Harry Richman, American flyers who flew to England Wednesday, postponed their proposed return flight. De- spite the forebodings ot other avia- tors, Mrs. Markham made light of her adventure, She had prepared her Vega Gull plane for two months, installing gas tanks in place ot three of the normal four seats in It's cabin, and announced her de- cision to fly yesterday almost cas- ually.
 Mollison Flew Her
 James Mollison, himself cele- brated with his wife, Amy, as a long distance flyer, flew Mrs. Markham to Abingdon from London. Mrs. Markham. looking even younger than her 3l years, wore gray flannel trousers, a blue jersey and a white beret. She carried & light brown slicker. Her food supply consisted of roast chicken and several Tasks of coffee. She bad her seven year old son goodbye before she left London. The young Englishwoman has had more than 2,000 hours of solo flying, including several trips between England and Kenya colony of the British east African coast, where she spent her childhood. She learned to fly soon after the war.
 Figured 2l Hours
 She estimated that she should make the flight to New York's municipal airport in about 2l hours. The Gull has 200-horsepower motor capable of 170 miles an hour top speed but of not more than 150 miles an hour steady cruising. It had none of the advanced naviga- ton instruments that Merrill and Richman used in their 1,000- horsepower craft. If Mrs. Mark hams estimate of her speed proved correct and she remains in the air, she should pass over Newfoundland early today and reach New York at about 10 @. m. (EDT). Mrs. Mark ham is the wife of Mans field Markham, second son of the late Sir Arthur Markham. Since then she has devoted herself to flying.
 Flew Game Hunters
 She has flown several noted big game hunters over the African inte- rior, spotting game for them and then taking them from their camps to the lion, elephant or buffalo she had found.
 Three records were possible to her. If she reaches New York without @ stop in less than 90 hours her flight will be the fastest east west crossing, the first completed nonstop solo flight in that direction and the first solo crossing from east to west by woman. Amelia Ear. hart is the only other woman who has flown the north Atlantic alone. She flew from west to east, the easier route because of prevalent west-east winds.
 Place Is Sighted Aboard S. s. Kungsholm, Sept. s -(UP)-We sighted a blue airplane, apparently that of Mrs. Beryl Mark ham. at 0:04 Q. m. E. D. T. today about 60 miles east of the New foundland coast.
 The plane was flying low and heading southwest for Cape Race, about 90 miles distant. We sighted the plane at 47:04 north latitude and 6i:57 west longitude.
