League to Open

All is in readiness for the opening tomorrow night of the Washington Park Community house basketball league. Supervisor William D. Shea promises an interesting program, which with other features, will in- clude two interesting games.
 At 8 o'clock, Referee John Me- Cormack will blow his whistle for action in the game between the game between the Gents of the Hill and the Robins, and the first game of the 1936-1937 community house league will be underway. The Robins have lined up a strong group of former high school players and should provide strong opposition for any opponent in the league.
 The feature game. with the Tri- bunes and Baldwin Props as oppon- ents will follow closely the com- pletion of the first game. The boys from lower Baldwin street were champions of the league in the opening year, 1884, and though they were not little contenders last year, were always a worthy foe. This year they have a revamped lineup which includes several of the Central "Y" boys. The Baldwin Props have not as yet announced their lineup.
 Beorfe the games start, the man. agers will hold a business session which will begin at 2 o'clock. Teams not participating in opening night play will take part in the games Monday night. The schedule for that night is, Hill Jrs. vs. Community Club; Raymond Hillies vs. Welles A. c.

MELTON PLEASES
 CONCERT LOVERS
Tenor Loudly Applauded in Diversified Bucking-
 ham Hall Program

James Melton, one of the best American tenors on tour today, left an indelible mark on the minds of small but deeply appreciative audience at Buckingham hall last evening when he made his debut before Waterbury concert lovers in an enjoyable and diversified pro- gram, assisted at the piano by Harold Dart of Bridgeport.
 The star of radio, screen and stage held his interested listeners spellbound with his beautiful, we'll trained voice. His special selec- tions of noted concert numbers, intermingled with his own intarpo- lations of several modern hits drew rounds of applause and on several occasions when he left the stage the audience continued their hearty applause which was obligingly ac- cepted with additional encores
 Melton revealed voice of very pleasing quality which was at It's best in the higher register where his accuracy of pitch was highly commendable. This was especially true in the Handel and Massenat arias which he sung with a sense of fine musicianship. The clarity of his diction was also notable.
 He added several encores to the ,. printed list in response to the en- thusiastic applause of his audience. These were in the more popular vein and included Jerome Kern's '"The Way You Look Tonight, and I'm a Lone Cowhand," and the "Short'nin' Bread.
 Harold Dart, whom MT. Melton said he regarded as one of the best concert pianists in the coun- try, offered very capable accompani- ment for the guest star. He played a group of piano compositions rep- resenting r-as of Lecuona and Chopin.
 The singers list opened with Scar letti's Gis Il Sole Dal Garge. which was fololwed by the ever popular Nina by Pergolesi. He concluded the first group with "Ombra Mai Flu" commonly known as the Largo from Handel's opera "Xerxes" {.
 The second group comprised of French lyrics included Faueve's Apros Un Reve, Chaminade's 5om- brero and two songs by Jules Mas senet. Ouvre Tas Yeuv Bieus and the aria Le Reve from the opera "Manon".
 The last two groups were songs in English and offered Rachman- inoff's lovely "In the Silence of the Night, followed by Hills" by Frank La Forge. Clouds" by Er- nest Charles. the Carnevali Come. Love With Me-" "The Hills Of Honss t9 Fox and three negro splrituals. "ies Gone Away, q North Carolina mountain song, af- ranged for Mir. Melton by Leo Sowerby. "eummertime." from

SPANISH REBELS
 MOVE UP TROOPS
(Continued from Page D

(Continued from Page D tanglements about their trenches as fast as enemy artillery blew 1t away.
 Two Foreign Armies
 It was believed the impending battle would find almost two foreign armies pitted against each other on Spanish soil.
 Information from various sources, believed reliable, estimated the in- ternational brigade fighting for the loyalists to be composed of 5000 French, 800 anti-fascist Italians, l. 200 anti-Nazi Germans, 800 Belgi- ans, 200 Polise and the remainder composed of Russians, Mexicafls. Cubans, Algerians and Czechs.
 The army of Gen. Francisco Franco, rebel leader, was believed composed of 300 Irish fascists, 14,- 800 Italians and 22,000 Germans.
 All day yesterday fresh troops were seen moving up toward the rebel lines along the Carabanchel- Madrid Aranjuez-Madrid highways under loyalist artillery fire. Yesterdays bombardment of Gua- dalajara, 34 miles northeast of Madrid, by 9 rebel airplanes has apparently reduced that ancient city to ruins with 1000 casualties. Government leaders were watching that direction as the source Of Q possible drive on Madrid.

 the papal secretariat said there would be no more semi-official com munications to the press. The only fear now in the papal household Is that His Holiness may insist on leaving his bed tomorrow morning.
 The pontiff however. decided to heed his physicians advice to re- main in bed several days after he received his sister. Camilla Ratti. and nephew, Count Ratti today. Both pleaded with him not to en- danger his complete recovery.
 From trustworthy sources it was reported that Dr. Milani and Father Agostino 0emelli. rector of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and a noted physician. do not share the same views as to the pon- tiff's Illness.
 Father oemelli. . renowned biol- oeist before he became Q Franciscan monk, visited the pope on the first day of his Illness. Later. Father oemelli and pr. Milani exchanged views outside the papal apartment.
 ft was Father oemelli's opinion that His Holiness was suffering from ircmia, gout end varicosia. HIS view was that the varieoais showed more menaeing manifestations than dld the other diseases and should bo eombated prefeFentIally. pF, Milk.k wag reported 70 have attached less importance to the vnFicosis than to the uromls and gout.

SUPREME COURT ALTERS TACTICS
Absence of Any Dissenting Opinions May Prove
 Existing Harmony

Washington, Dec. 8.-UP)-ThS absence of vigorous dissenting opin- ions in recent supreme court dec1' sions led to speculation today whether harmony now exists among the nine justices. Split by discord year ago, ths tribunal recorded series of strongly worded dissenting opinions. But thus far this session not major disagreeing opinion has been reported. In the only case in which 1t divided-the New York un- employment insurance case - no opinion was written. Court practice forbids Q written explanation in a four to four decision. The court re- ported only two cases yesterday in- volving the New Deal. Both were decidedly unanimously in favor of 1t. There is 8 remote possibility that Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes has induced his colleagues to forego writing dissenting opinions.
 Cannot Forbid Them
 Hughes has no power, however, to forbid dissents. Few believe that even his powers of persuasion could compel those who disagree to re- main silent. The court upheld val- idity of the Illinois and California fair trade acts, both involving is- sues which normally might be ex- pected to divide the jurists. It also sanctioned the New Deals right to a temporary stay of, trial in attacks on the holding company act until after a decision in the electric bond and share case in New York. This was in line with New Deal strategy in defending the laws constitutions ality. The second New Deal decision sustained orders of the federal com- munications commission regulating bookkeeping methods of telephone companies.
