 In the case decided by Judge Hamlin, an employee of hte Me- Elligott company had been inspect ing the oil tanks in the Hodson es- tate building and was lifting. the trap.door from the cellar to the sidewalk, when Campus thrust his foot through and severely injured himself.
 Campus sued and the insurance company covering the Hodson es- tate building was held not to Do liable, In the defense set up by At- torney 0. 0ormley, but that the oil company alone was responsible.

 Attorney Francis ?. 0uilfoilc, rep. resenting the McyClligott O., set forth the defense that 1t was c pub- lie highway upon which the acci- dent occurred and that this iEnpos- cd Q liability upon tho Hodson es- tate also. The question has never reached the supreme court of Con- necticut but the authorities subniit- ted by Attorney Quilfoile were bas. cd on findings handed down in oth- or state courts on similar points.
 Judge Hamlin in his decision stated 1t was an extremely impor- tant point involving Q principal rarely invoked. He found the Hod- son estate as well as the oil coEn- pany jointly liable. Attorney Yale MAtzlsin appeared for Campus.

 Current For Months
 Rumors that Hauptmann's coun- sel, 0 lawyer hired by Q California sister, and Ellis Parker, veteran Burlignton county detective, had found new evidence to bolster Hauptmann's plea of innocence have been current for months. Governor Harold c. Hoffman, chairman Of the court of pardons, has himself indi- cated that he believes HRuptmann might offer Q plausible new story to the court.
 Fisher refused even an inkling of the new evidence he claimed to possess. Kimberling said he was not "pressing" Hauptmann to confess" but intended to give him opportun- ity to make any statement that his approach to death might evoke.

 There was no sympathy here with the presidents implied invitation to Italy to exercise patience and seek by peaceable negotiations on outlet for surplus population.
 Has Shown Patience Italy, 1t was said, has shown DO. tience with Ethiopia for more than 70 years. Patience proved useless, 1t was added-as 1t had been on so many occasions in past iaonths--in view of Ethiopia's continuous prov ocations and inethodical breaches of agreements.
 Italy did carry out peacable nee gotiatlons for years, 1t was argued, as shown by Q treaty of friendship with Ethiopia and thre treaties with France and Great Britain concern Ing Ethiopia.
 But there was no reward, conn mentators said, for ftaly's "admit- tedly" honest aspirations and legiti- mate needs.

President Issues
 Challenge To COP.
CConsinusd from Page i,

demanded, to the farmer, the child worker, the home owner, the wage earner, the jobless man or woman that values have been restored oE various privileges have been enjoyed and that congress shall now repeal the laws under which the new deal lists its accomplishments,
 ''It these gentlemen believe that the measures have. hindered rather than promoted recovery, let them be consistent" MT. Roosevelt de- manded. "Let them propose to this congress the complete repeal ol these Ineasures."
 Warns His Enemies
 He warned that the challenge to this congress was greater than mere return to the past. A blunt para graph contained the nub of his argument and here 1t is:
 Our resplendent eeonoutic au- tocracy does not want tO return t0 shat indivlduallsm Of which they prate, even though the ad- vantage under that system went to Che ruthless and the strong. They realize that In S4 months we have built up new instruments of publlc power. I'm Che hands oe . peoples government this power is wholesome and proper. But In the hands of political puppets of an economic aut0craey such pow CT would provide shackles for the liberties of Che people. Give them their way and they win take the course of every autocrAcy of the past-p0wer for themselves, enc slavement for the public."
 Confidence Justified
 But the president said confidence was justified. He cited these optim- istic factors:
 l. National income gained for the third successive year.
 3. Agriculture and industry are returning to full activity.
 3. Tax receipts increased without new levies.
 But there was no golden afterglow of confidence in MT. Roosevelt's summation of foreign affairs. At best he could but counsel neutrality, good ofilces and foresighted pro- vision for self defense. His blunt language was Q challenge to the dic- tatorial, autocratic form of govern ment and seemed to be directed pri- narily against Japan, Italy and Germany. Only the 2i American re- publics and their Canadian neigh Dor could claim, he reported, that ie36 brought . greater instead of Q lessened spirit of understanding. He said the good neighbor" policy no longer was Q hope in the new world--it Is an achievement.
