 Director William Shea of the Washington Park Community House presents, under Director Bill ClaSby, the famous Comites minstrel per- formers Thursday night of this week at the Washington park. These boys, 40 of them, come to Washington park by popular request.
 Bill Clasby, well known in Wash ington Hill and among minstrel lovers of Waterbury, stages the show, and the performance of those Y boys, who give their sixth an- nual presentation, is novel, varied and side-splitting.
 The end men, Pepper Carr and Joe Leggett, have five years of suc- cessful shows back of them since they were discovered by Eddie Keenan. The jokes in this years show are novel in that they are all costumed acts, rather than mere ly wise-cracking stories.
 The novelty numbers, with such performers as the Boffard Kids and Freddie Caligan handling the dance program, assisted by Kenneth Byrnes in a Russian number and a

Suggestions Placed Before Governors
 Special Committee
Statewide Conference Held in Hartford Today; Per. manent Formation Regarded as Part of Community
 ServiCe-P Publicity Proves Effective in Campaign

At a meeting of safety commit tees from a number of cities and towns in the state, brought together by the Governors Commission on Street and Highway Safety at Hartford this noon, Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, the chairman of the com- mission, placed before the local committees a series of suggestions and questions formulated by the commission.
 The work that can be done by local safety committees" Colonel Fisher stated, "is the most import ant phase of Connecticuts attack upon it's street and highway motor accident problems. This meeting has been called to obtain the assist ance of such groups as are already active, in order that any program recommended by the commission may have the practical benefit of experience in dealing with these problems
 Local Committes
 The commission looks upon the formation of local safety committees as a permanent element of civic policy, Colonel Fisher indicated. 'The function of such committees, the chairman stated, should be clearly to supplement- existing agen- cies of legal and moral responsibil- ity, such as the police, courts and the newspapers
 "Most of the committees repre- sented here" Colonel Fisher went on to say, have been organized with subcommittee especially con- cerned with the problems of En- forcement, Engineering and Educa- tion. The commission recommends organization of all local commit tees along this line.'
 Commenting on the great need for 8 permanent and persistent ef- forts towards reduction of the haz- ards on our streets and highways, Colonel Fisher specifically referred to the experience of Evanstown, Illinois, as an example of what can be accomplished.
 "When Evanston first tackled the problem on 0 permanent basis 1t differed from other small cities only in the extreme unsafe condi- tiens of its public thoroughfares,

RUSSETS INJURED

Charged with reckless driving, Fritz Moran, 21, of 228 Lincoln street, was given a continuance to Wednesday by Judge John F. Me- Grath in city court today. Moran was arrested early yesterday morn ing by Motor Patrolmen John Dee ley and John Walsh after an accid- ent in which a car he was driving struck 8 parked car at East Farm and Orange street. MT. and Mrs. Bartholomew H. Russett of 26 St.. Paul street, riding with Moran, were slightly injured and treated at St.. Mary's Hospital. Mrs. Russet had decorations of the forehead and a knee injury and Russet had lacera- tions of the face.

the chairman explained. Better en- forcement was its first objective, but Evanston learned that efforts to secure certainty of punishment re- quired the backing of carefully CO., ordinated educational campaign. Educational Program
 Before Evanston could obtain better enforcement it was found necessary to improve the accident reporting system of thep olice and include an educational program in its plan of attack. Until the city's plan included an educational can- paign, both the safety organization and the police met the claim of persecution"
 Learning by trial and error and persistently applying this knowledge balanced along the three lines of Enforcement, Engineering and Ed ucation, Evanston, after years of effort has become the safest small city in the United States"
 Remarking on the necessity of the best possible reporting of accidents, Colonel Fisher said, Efficient acci- dent reporting requires modern forms to cover minor cases, and the utilization of special accident squads" to handle major cases, as has been done in Bridgeport and New Haven ard will soon be done in Waterbury.
 Publicity Elective
 Probably the most successful at- tack on the problem in Connecti- cut to date has been by means of publicity, but by Education" Colonel Fisher said, "the commission means more than publicity. Publicity cam paigns, because they are regarded in the nature of drives and unless they are supplemented by a last attack on the fundamentals of the accident problem, are necessarily temporary"
 "A permanent educational cam paign,' the chairman declared, must include various forms of instruction of individuals in schools and in fac- tories and for other groups of per- sons using the streets and highways.

Insurgents Advance in
3 Armies, as Radicals

MADRID, July Is d.N.SJ.-In.
surgent hosts totaling more than
10000 troops, fought their way
through mountain defiles today to
threaten the city's walls from two
points on the north and one on
the south.
With one of the insurgent
armies reported within 10 miles.
the million inhabitants Of the
capital fear it will be starved into
submission, If not actually invaded
within . few days.
insurgents held their ground In
the Guadarrama mountains, after
loyalists claimed to have stemmed
the drive on Madrid, while q sec
ond northern column Of Gen. Eli
milo Mola's insurgents northeast Of
Madrid was also alleG>dly turned
back.
Claims Disputed
In spite Of thz governments OPP
timistic anno.mcements, however.
it was unc6icially reported that
Mola's main column was only ~
miles away and advancing.
One Of the most severe engage.
ments Of the civil war resulted In
Q government victory ct strategic
Alta de Leon. . mountain pass
south Of Madrid. It was stated
here. The insurgents suffered
heavy casualties and abandoned
large quantities Of war materials
before falling back.
One hundred Americans have
taken up quarters In the United
States Embassy. So far there is
no food shortage and the water
supply, guarded by 5000 men,
continues to function; but fears
Of terrorism, hunger, and disease
In the event Of q long seige grip
foreigners and Spaniards alike.

MADRID, July IS 0.N.SO.
After one week Of fighting practi'
caIly all over Spain. can say
truthfully and sincerely that the
revolt Is broken, but cannot say
how long its death struggle will
last. g.,
It will be o hard and costly fight,
but you must consider we are UP
against the most formidable mill
tary revolt In the history Of Spain.
At the start, the rebels held more
territory than we did. At present,
we hold more than they do.
Claim Three Cities
Our superior position Is shown
by the fact we hold SPANS three
largest and wealthieSt cities
Madrid, Barcelona and Bilbao. AS
for the insurgents, they control Q
number Of provinces and cities, the
most important Of which are Sc
vile, Cordova, Saragossa and Bur
COS. In addition. Of course, Mo-
rocco Is entirely under their con-
troll.
The revolt should have sue
ceeded. It had been carefully and
thoroughly planned, but the navy
and air force failed the insurgents.
This gave us time to arm the
people. When this was achieved
the revolt was doomed,
Much credit Is due our militia
for its courage and high morale.
The insurgents have been. defeated
not by regular government forces
that Is, the army and navy
but by the same element that de.
feated Napoleon. This Is mans
uncomfortable love Of freedom.
This is really a fight between
military revolt and popular revo-
luton. We ourselveS-the gov
ernment-are fighting for democ-
racy, but we cannot forecast at
present what course the peoples
revolution may take after having
helped the government defeat
the military revolt.
Fears RepercussiOns
Outcome Of the revolt is bound
to have repercusSionS beyond our
Observation-Disclosures there Is con-
flict between faScism and democ-
racy.
At the moment reports from
both northern and southern
fronts are favorable to the gov.
eminent. In Madrid the situa-
ton Is completely normal. Ten
sion has been relieevd by our
success against the rebels in the
Sierras. many miles northwest Of
Madrid.
