call for the assembly to:
 1-Recommend to governments of league nations that they refuse resolutely to recognize Italy's annex ation of Ethiopia either De Facto or De lure either as an accom- plished fact or a lawful act.
 2+Declare that each league nation remains free to decide whether 1t should continue penalties against Italy.
 There seemed reason for grave doubt that Italy would feel itself able to remain in the league if this suggestion were adopted.
 Argentina seemed certain to lead the fight against recognition of the conquest of Ethiopia. Most other Latin American nations, according to information here, would back Argentina. So would the Little Entente, Balkin Entente and other groups of small nations.

W she got outside the ccurt-room this morning. The nolle today also meant freedom for Mrs. Elizabeth fernando. a. who had been held as E material witness by the state.
 During his explanation of the case, Mr. Lewis told Judge Dicker- son that the accused had stabbed z Smith with his own pen-knife after he had brutally beaten her about the face and head with his fists, had hurled Q heavy lamp at her and had struck her in the head and had Threatened to "cut your throat"
 Tragedy Explained
 on the night of May 2, said MT. Lewis, Mrs. Crawford and Smith, together with Mrs. Fernando, who lived in the same apartment, went to a neighbours house and partici- pated in an all-night card game and drinking party. They returned to their apartment, all under the influence of liquor, about five the next morning, and had one or more drinks. Mrs. Fernando then went to bed. A 15-year old colored boy, John Robinson, was also spending the night in the apartment.
 Merrill Smith asked Mrs. Craw- ford to give him some money to re- turn to the card game. She refused, and while she lay in bed, he beat her with his fists about the face and head. She started for Mrs. Fernan- dos room and was threatened by Smith. As she got to the door, Smith hurled a lamp at her and struck her on the side of the head. He had also choked her, causing her tongue to protrude.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-03

Mrs. Crawford then started for the kitchen, with Smith threatening to "cut your throat" and she took Smiths pen knife from his overcoat pocket. AS he started for her again, she stabbed him under the heart, and he fell, his back was cut by some glass on the floor.
 Only "meagre circurnstantial evi- dence" would be available to press the manslaughter charge, Mfr. Lewis stated. The accused's statements to the coroner, he said, were mot in conflict with her right under the law to defend herself from death or from serious bodily injury"
 Conclusion Of Finding
 Mir. Lewis concluded as follows:
 Therefore, it would seem to be fairly evident that the brutal assault that vSas made upon the person of the accused by the deceased, in con- junction with his threats and evi- dent purpose to carry out the same, was sufficient to cause the accused to fear that she was in danger of severe bodily harm, if not of loss of her life, and, therefore, she was jus- tified in resorting to the use of 9 lethal weapon
 "It might be urged that during the progress of this affair, she had ample opportunity to escape from the apartment. It is her claim, how ever, that when she attempted to do so, the deceased took steps to pre- vent her leaving. There is no evi- dence in the possession of the State to contradict her claim in this respect"
 Therefore, notwithstanding that a human life has been taken, the state recommends that nolle be entered in this case"

department as their jobs are being taken away from them. Miss Hughar said yesterday that the pro- cedure had been approved by State Administrator Matthew Daly, and his assistant, Thomas Dodd, and that the closing order had been rec commended by William M. Harris, director of the Lincoln House Asso- ciation and former head of the Mutual Aid, and Mrs. Margaret Ver- don, superintendent of public well fare.
 Complaints Frequent
 Complaints about conditions at the sewing room were hard with great frequency during May, after having been heard occasionally be- fore that time. A visit of "investi- gation" by Miss Hughart followed. The order closing the projects on Saturday of this week came as Q complete surprise to the workers and to the general public. Miss Hughart soid that the step was necessary Tor purposes of reorganization" and when asked yesterday if she realized that the public opinion would link the complaints and the closing order, she said: "Thats Q risk ! have to take"

 mission erected another sign on the right hand side," Judge Boyd said. Asked about other aspects of the arrest, which the former cham pion has declared he means to fight, the judge said he thought he had talked enough for the news papers.p Constable Robert Reichen- bach, who arrested Tunney, could not be reached to give his version, and telephone inquiries at his home were answered with the information that he was out and that the hour of when he would return waS not known.
 Regular Legal Sign
 Asked if the newly erected sign was in conformance with the regu- lations of the National Safety Coun- ell and similar to signs used prac- tically everywhere throughout the east, Judge Boyd said 1t was. He would not comment on Tunney's statement that he was the victim of road trap"
 Tunney was quoted in morning papers as saying that he particu- larly resented his arrest because he had last Thursday night called at- tention to the charm of western Connecticut in Q radio broadcast. He said he particularly emphasized the pleasure of driving. He said he was going only five or six miles an hour and that he didn't see any sign.
 Tunney Wants Trial
 Far from wanting the case dropped Tunney expressed his in- tention of going through with the trial. He said he was going to find out "how much the constable and the justice of the peace get out of this" A weeks continuance has been granted on the request of Motor Vehicle Commissioner Mi- chael A. Connor. Commissioner Connor, who was with Tunney last night after the former champion had spoken at the sports banquet of Trinity college, said he had ask- ed for the continuance because 1t was impossible for Tunney to ap- pear in court last night.

NOoutluueQ 1TOu1 EhB0 4J conferred at New York with Rand. He had declined to discuss the cor- ference. Cities represented at the conference were Frankfort, Ilion, Herkimer and Mohawk. Charles Cooper, head of the Tonawanda union, announced the strikers are seeking collective bargaining and assurance that responsible coni- pany representative will deal with union leaders.
 Original Demand
 Originally the strikers demanded Q 20 per cent wage increase, rec instatement of 17 union leaders dis- charged from the Syracuse plant and assurance that the Syracuse plant will not be moved to Iiion. The company remains firm in it's refusal to bargain with the strikers. Strikers have strengthened their picket lines at the Tonawanda plant. Six plants in three states are affected by the walkout which has paralyzed operations of the huge office equipment supply company.
 NElddletOwn is Bad
 Middletown, Conn, June 3-(UPl Preparations for the permanent closing and eventual sale of the Remington- Rand plant here were being made today as HOO employees, thrown out of jobs, carried their grievances to Mayor Leo B. Santan- geio.
 The mayor, who yesterday rec ceived a telegram from Earl Hard- ing, assistant to president James H. Rand, announcing the closing be- cause ''AGiddletown was not a suit- able community" was understood to have replied to charges that inc adequate police protection was furnished since the beginning of the wRlkout a week ago.
 Plant general manager George K. Rowland said there would be e de- lay in shipping the machinery as he would ask for bids.
 The strike here,a sympathy moVe- ment, had been peacefully condue- ted and police said there had been no complaints as result oE pioket- ing.

 Wins Million Votes
 The Presidents press conference remarks regarding the New York decision came almost at the time that Representative Hamilton Fish, republican, New York, a conserva- tive, was speaking on the minimum wage decision and its political rarn- ifications. Fish asserted the ruling won "a million votes for the demo- cratic party" He told the house he would back Q plank in the national republican platform calling for a constitutional amendment on the minimum wage question.
 The remarks of the President came as 6 distinct surprise to observers who were generally of the opinion that he had spoken his piece on the court after the MIRA decision and henceforth would be content to let decisions speak for themselves. When he opened up in response to 8 ques- ton, there was a hushed silence.
 Discrepancy Revealed
 MT. Roosevelt referred to the seeming discrepancy between the courts opinion invalidating the Guffey Coal Control Act and that outlaWing the New York law tc prescribe minimum wages for women and children. Tn the Guffey acl decision the court ruled the fedora government had no power to regu- late wages and hours in bituminou' mines because these were part oi local relationship between employer and employe. If neither tho federal government nor tht states have power in this field then there 1t seems, MT. Roosevelt said, to be an area where state arlc federal governments are equally powerless to act to solve broad eco homie problems. The President 1 however, declined to answer ques- tions as to how the New Deal, 1T view of the recent decision, planned to attain it's objectives within tho  framework of the Constitution, re- marking twice that he had nothing further to say.
 Interests Everybody
 Mir. Roosevelt in calling attention to the courts actions, commented that the New York decision, for ex' ample, would be of interest to virtu' ally every person in the United States.
 He suggested that everyone read the three decisions, the majority opinion by Justice Butler and tho minority rulings by Chief Justice Hughes and Justice Stone. He ox' plained that they seemed to indicate that at present a majority of th' court had made the existence of No Mans Land definitely clear.

 Homeless families were cared for temporarily by the nearly 450 other families on the island as the Red Cross here prepared to dispatch re lief to the stricken residents. The Union House hotel, an unoccupied, rambling wooden structure, was de- gtroyed completely as were four other business establishments, in- cluding a chain grocery story which only this week had restocked with more than $2,000 in merchandise. First building ignited by the brush fire was Q large cottage owned by Frank Jewett. Sparks from this building leaped to four nearby build iilgS. As firef1ghters concentrated on this point, the strong west wind car- riOd the flames along 50 rapidly that flyelnen were unable to keep pace and soon the island was ablaze from tip to tip.

In the background of the Big Show-the Ringing Bros and Bar- mum and Bailey Combined Circus where the world and his wife (re- ferring to the world of big top per- formers, of course) are to be found in their behind -the-scenes" activi- ties, "reminiscences are always in order; especially in the sprng, when the steller artists of every nation often meet again after years of sep- aration.
 It may have been five years since they were in the same show at the La Scala in Berlin, at the Cirque Medrano in Paris. in Copenhagen, Moscow, London or Madrid.
