COMMISSIONER
 LYNCH UPHELD
Judge McEvoy Ruled High Court Could Not Usurp
 Its Functions

It is not for the superior court to "usurp the functions" of the compensation commissioner when the latter has decided which por- tions of conflicting evidence he would adopt, states Judge Frank P. McEvoy of superior court today in dismissing an appeal brought from the decision of Commissioner James M. Lynch in the claim of Lawrence Berthiaume against the Waterbury Battery Company. In his finding, handed down November 20, 1895, Commissioner Lynch held that the claimant was not entitled to com pensation.
 In a memorandum of decision Judge McEvoy today points out that much sharply conflicting testimony was given the commissioner at two hearings he held on the case. Medi- cal opinions, points out the judge, were given without equivocation," {" and the commissioner was required to determine which of the evidence offered he would adopt. "The dis cretion of the commissioner pre- vails" upon the record, says the

 Rome, March 28.--CUP) Italy celebrated with a gigantic show at Littoria airfeld today the 18th an fiiversary of the rebirth of It's mili- itafy xh~efcrce: Sixty new long range bombers, reported to be capa- ble of carrying three tons of ex- plosive each at speed of 250 miles an hour, were g feature of the ceremonies.

Then, visibly moved, he presented medals to widows and other rela- tiyes of 28 airman killed in Ethiopia.
 13 Years Ago Today
 It was 13 years ago today, in 1923, when Premier Benito Mussolini issued orders that Italy must have first rank air fleet. Then Italy had almost no planes and few famous pilots. Today, though figures are se- cret, reliable sources estimated the military air fleet at 4,000 planes. Of these 1,500 are old. They are to be replaced this year.
 The new demonstration of fascist might follow upon speech in the senate last night in which Ad- miral Domenico Cavagnari, under secretary of macy, said that the country's gasoline stocks soon would be sufficient to enable the navy to face any eventual crisis, even If of considerable duration. r
