EUROPE MAY DAY
 CELEBRATIONS
(Continued from Page 1.)


 Madrid tomorrow at Pablo Iglesias, founder of the Spanish socialist party. Socialists, communists and others of the popular front" plan- ned joyous demonstrations through out France in celebration of their victory in the election for a new chamber of deputies.
 Arrests Already Made
 In Hungary, 90 members of the peasant sickle and cross" organ ization, of fascist tendencies, were arrested at Devevanya, suspected of planning an armed hunger" march on Budapest. Most of them were released when police found that they represented only an unimport- ant movement. Hatred of Fascism was the feature of the celebrations planned at Moscow, but the real feature was the demonstration of Russia's military might in the great May day parade in the red square before the Kremlin. In Poland, the chief concern of police was to keep separate, in all industrial centers, the divergent demonstrants. At Warsaw police mapped four separ- ate marching routes for parading organizations in hope that none would meet.
 Great Britain Quiet
 Great Britain's quiet May day centered in the usual labor party and trade union demonstration in Hyde Park. Nazis have taken May day as their own in Germany, and tomorrow will be the occasion for an all day demonstration of nazi unity, with speech by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler as the feature. The Austrian fascist government will take charge of the celebration of May day in Austria. The cabinet is expected to announce an exlen- sive amnesty for political offenders, particularly those of working class eS

the terrified populace that the forces of nature might impede the conquerors.
 Hot heads talked of gathering men and going out to meet the Italians but most people prayed for rain.
 British Make Report
 British Red Cross men, who ar rived as an Italian plane swept down over the airport and raked it with machine gun fire, reported the Italians about 60 miles from the capital.
 They appeared, the Red Cross men said, to have left their motor ized equipment at the foot of the Shula Meda mountain pass on the other side of Debra Brehan, the position at which the Italians were reported. Heavy rain, authorities believed here, would make 1t impossible for the Italians to bring any motorized equipment. They say that traffic through the pass is impossible after rain under normal conditions Now the roads have been damaged as much as possible, in anticipation of the Italian advance, and auth critics believe they could not be repaired after a heavy rain.
 The British Red Cross men re- ported that about 2,000 Italian in- fantrymen were in the column ln the Debra Brehan area.
 Take Last Stronghold
 Rome, April 30. - UP) - The Italian forces occupied Sassa Baneh, key point in the Fafan river area leading to the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railway yesterday, an official an- nouncement said today
 Sassa Baneh is the last really fortified Ethiopian position barring the day to Harar and the railway. The southern army of Gen. Rudolfo Graziani now is expected here to advance rapidly along the caravan routes towards Harar and DiredaWa, encircling the Philippians on the southeast as the northern armies are doing on the west and north, around the capital.
 The official announcement said also that the Italians continued their advance after capturing Sasa Baneh, occupying Bullaleh, 12 miles north east of there.
 On the extreme northwestern front, the Italians, after encircling Lake Tana, in the British sphere of influence, began pushing eastward into Ethiopia, occupying Debra Tabor, 12 miles east of the lake.
 BadogliO Report
 War communique No. 199 from Marshal Pietro Badoglio, comman- der-in-chief, said:
 "The powerfully-fortified line of Sassa Baneh and Ballaleh, planned and achieved by Belgian and Turk ish officers and stuhbornly defend- ed by the Philippians under Dedjac Nasiby, has been conquered by the troops of Gen. Graziani at the point of the bayonet.

LANDON LEADS
 HIS OPPONENTS
(Continued from Page 1.)

President Roosevelt was unop- posed and swept the Massachusetts democratic primary as was ex- pected. Pennsylvania presidential preference primaries also took place Tuesday. In almost complete re- turns MT. Roosevelt was moving to- ward 100000 votes compared to around 30,000 for Colonel Henry Breckenridge, his democratic oppo- nent. In the republican primary Senator William E. Borah, unop- posed, boiled fewer than 300,000 votes.
 Roosevelt Swept Penn
 None of the Pennsylvania princi- pals campaigned personally. Prac- tically nothing was done in behalf of Breckinridge and Borah. But the Roosevelt candidacy was em- phasized through the state by democratic officials. There was nothing spectacular in MT. Roose- velt's Pennsylvania showing be- cause there was no incentive to a big republican vote. The 30,000 votes cast for Breckinridge empha- size the strength of a group of con- servative, anti-New Deal democrats.
 Neither the Massachusetts nor Pennsylvania primaries is binding upon delegates, although both dem- ocratic groups are bound other wise to MT. Roosevelt. Both repub- lican delegates are uninstructed. Some observers believe Landon would have boiled a greater vote than MT. Borah. If he had entered the Pennsylvania primary. The state republican organization is un- derstood to be sympathetic to Lam don and none expects PennSyl- vania to cast it's convention votes for Borah merely because he won a complimentary preference vote Tuesday.
 25 Percent Voted
 Approximately 25 per cent of the electors in either state took the trouble to vote at all. Tn Massa- chusetts fewer than half of those who voted expressed any preSiden- tial preference. It was necessary in Massachusetts to write in the presidential preference.
 Despite the small percentage or persons who expressed preference persons who expressed a preference, the Massachusetts vote is per- suasiye sample of New England opinion. Trailing Landon were four other write candidates, MT. Hoover, Borah, Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg and Frank Knox. Lar1-

 September 9, 1885, and the injury resulted in loss of 60 per cent of the use of the hand. The employer disputed his claim on the grounds that previous injuries and a physi- cal ailment contributed to the hand condition, and the stipulati tion is in full settlement of his claim. The employer will also pay all medical bills to date. Michaud was repre- scented by Attorney Martin J. Parker.
 Smaller Amounts
 In another stipulation, the New England Knitting company of Win sted agrees to pay total of $477 to Minnie Moquin and Agnes Moquin, sisters and alleged depend ents of Joseph Moquin, deceased, of Winsted. The employer disputed the compensation claim, charging that no one knew when the acci- dent happened which it is claimed caused Moquins death.

 Claim Discussed
 In his finding. Commissioner Lynch dismisses the claim of Anna Green, of A Williams street, this city, against the U. s. Rubber Prod ucts, Inc. of Naugatuck. The claim contended that she struck her hip against a table at the factory Octo- Der 30, 1885, and that the injury caused osteomyelitis of her left shoulder. Medical testimony was offered at hearing before the com- missioner that there was no causal connection between the shoulder condition and the work injury. Counsel for the claimant said that Dr. M. J. Lawlor, the girls physi- clan, had reported that there was no causal connection, also.

WORLD TRADE IS
 ASKED BY HULL
(Continued from Page l.)

(Cont1nued from Page l)
 Hull said prolonged study of con- ditions here and abroad had con- vinced officials of this government that restoration of international trade offered the only hope of re- storing and maintaining world peace.
 Increase in Tension
 "In the past few months we have witnessed a swift increase in inter- national political tension Hull said. "A recrudescence of the military spirit, which sees no goal in life ex- cept triumph by force; an expan- sion of standing armies; a sharp in crease of military budgets; and act ual warfare in some portions of the globe. Human and material resour- ces are being shifted, on truly alarming scale, in a military direc- ton rather than one of peace and peace pursuits.
 "Only as thet worlds economic health is restored will individuals and nations develop again adequate resistance to the psychological mad ness that makges possible internal strife

Dr. Petr0ceM Case
 Goes To Jury Today
(Continued from Page 1)

two visits to his office here. Tele- phone records of out-of-town calls made from Dr. Petrocelli's office were introduced by Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald over the objection of Attorney Mascolo. The records showed that a call had been made to a Cheshire number from Dr. Petrocelli's office on the afternoon of June 2.
 A telegram was introduced, which had been billed to the Petrocelli home phone, and which had been sent by Molly" on the night of June 2. The doctors daughter, Molly, on the stand as defense witness, testified her father and she had been at Long Beach from June 5 to June 9. Miss Petrocelli was then recalled to the stand and tes- tified that, she had left word to have another girl send the tele- gram for her. Miss Jane Haywood was then called by the defense and claimed that she had sent the wire for Miss Petrocelli.
 38 Witnesses Called
 During the three weeks of the trial, there were 38 witnesses called to the stand, and 20 of them were recalled for additional testimony. Technical disputes held up the trial in its early stages, and the jury was excused at one time for almost an entire day while opposing coun- col a arcyI1ad tho J ieeiIHi1ikxV oF a death-bed statement.
 During its presentation, the state based its case on two death-bed statements signed by Mary Silva in which she said that Dr. Petroceili had operated on her, and on a hearing held in her hospital room in Hartford last June when she pointed out Dr. Petrocelli as the one she had visited at his Waterbury office.
 What Defense Claimed
 The defense contended that Dr. Petrocelli was not in the city on the dates that the state claimed the girl made her last two visits to the doctor, and that any statements signed by the girl or any identifi- cation she made had no basis in truth because of her alleged weak and hysterical condition.
 Trial of the case began April IA before Judge Simpson and jury Both sides exercised their right of challenge on number of occasions while the jury was being boiled.
 Doctor On Stand
 Dr. Petrocelli took the stand in his own defense on two occasions, once while the jury was absent and arguments over the admission of a death-bed statement were being heard, and once before the jury. On this occasion he testified that the girl had come to his office asking him to treat her but that he had refused to do so and she had left in angry hysteria.
 While the doctor was on the stand, Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitzgerald brought out in oss-examination that the &C., cused had no hospital affiliations and that he kept no orderly records of patients that he treated at his office on South Main street.
 Dr. Petrocelli was arrested June IA, 1885, by Lieut-Detective Joseph Stevens and State Troopers Patrick OToole and William Landon, on a warrant issued by Coroner John T. Monzani. He was to go to trial dur ing the January criminal term of superior court. but the case was out over to April because of the illness of Attorney Mascolo.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-04-30
Argument of State

"This is an important case" said MT. Fitzgerald, in opening" and de- served careful trial. The state does not desire the conviction of an in- nocent man, and if you believe this man to be not guilty I ask that you return such verdict
 There were arguments in the case, unfortunately at times des- cending to personalities he went on, hitting at the defense counsel. "The accused was given a fair trial, but his defense was inconsistent. The Silva girl, when she was dying had no feeling of vengeance or hat red-she sought only to tell the truth and clear her conscience when she identified this man."
 When the girl went to Dr. Petro- celli, he told her the chances were 100 to l against 8 successful op- eration. He knew that the odds were at least that high," he contin- ued.
 Dr. Petroceli, said the states at torney, Stamped his own guilt" with his words on the stand when he testified that when he found the police officers waiting for him in his office and when they were looking at his instruments, he said: ''Take them all. I don't need them any more
 "Those were the words of a guilty man." asserted MT. Fitzgerald. He went on to defend the girls ration ality at the time she signed two dying statements and when she testified before the coroner in her hospital room.'
 Attorney Mascolo, in explaining Dr. Petroce1li's actions when arrest ed, declared that this client feared only the undesirable publicity at tendant on his arrest. That, he said, was why he acted as he did, for he was thinking or his own age, almost 60, of his wife and of his children. He feared the newspaper publicity, said' Attorney Mascolo, and was afraid that it would ruin his prac- tice.
 Attacking the transcript of evil dence taken down at the coroner's hearing in St. Francis hospital, Hartford, Attorney Mascolo declar- ed the transcript itself showed the girl was irrational, that she did not know what she was saying.
 Blasts Against Alibi
 Yesterday afternoon, during re- buttal, the state sought to blast Dr. Petrocelli's alibi that he was in Long Beach, L. T., on June z. 1885, the date on which the state claimed Mary Silva made one of her last

don had an approximate five-to-l lead over their aggregate vote.
 Landon Worked Mass.
 None was formally entered in the primary. But Landon workers have been active in Massachusetts. They sensed an opportunity to give the country spectacular proof of the Kansan's popularity and they ap- pear to have succeeded. National polls over a period of months and localized samplers" have been re- markedly consistent in showing Landon to be a favorite among republicans of almost all classes and all localities.
 Landon is now so far in the lead that stop-Landon movements are discernible among other republi- can groups whose only hope is to blast the Landon boom before the republicans gather in Cleveland on June 9.
 What Leaders Think
 Philadelphia, April 90 = (UP) = State republican and democratic leaders found basis for optimism today from the results of Tuesdays primary.
 Pointing to the democratic pref vote for President Roosc- welt, expected. to pass 100000. State Chairman David L. Lawrence said:
 Tt demonstrates there is no oppo- sition to President Roosevelt In democratic ranks. The so-called protest voters" who cast ballots for Breckinridge were outnumbered more than 20 to 1.'
 The president had his first formal opposition in the Pennsylvania pri- mary in Colonel Henry Breckin- ridge, New York attorney and New Deal critic, who has entered his name in several state presidential primaries.
 Running alone on the g.o.p. ticket, Senator William E. Borah, Idaho, boiled more than 100000 votes in the presidential preferential bauoting. This figure was quite substantial" republican leaders said, in view there having been no opposition.

"Sassa Baneh and Bullaleh were occupied yesterday afternoon. Our national troops d. e. whites), So- mails, Royal Carabineers, Black shirts of the Tevere division, For estry militia and indomitable Du- bats displayed valor and tenacity during the difficult battle against the enemy, who was determined to stand to the end.
 "The territory moreover was heav- fly fortified and supplied with means of all kinds. The dispersed enemy are being pursued by our troops in motor vehicles.
 "On the northern front, our col umns continue their march tow- ards Adds Ababba. Our detach- ments which departed from the re- zion of Lake Tana occupied Debra Tabor in the Beghemeder region, former headquarters of Ras Kassa.
 The fall of Sassa Baneh was of- ficially announced by radio while most families were lunching or resting at home. There was great rejoicing and flogs appeared like magic.
 Motor Columns Speeding
 Rome, April 30.-CUP)-Two mo- torized Italian army columns, ad- vancing along roughly parallel car avan routes, were reported 50 miles from Addis Ababa today.
 Accompanied by infantry, the columns moved slowly to permit ex- tensive reconnaiSsances by patrols which were ahead of the main columns and on right and left Hanks. '
 Newspaper dispatches said that one column passed Kero Casa, about 15h miles south of Makfud, on the Dessye-Ankober- er-Addis Ababa road, about 60 miles northeast of the capital.
 Another was proceeding south westward after fording the Mofer river and reached the vicinity of Debra Brehan, about the same dis tance from the goal.
 Torrential rains continued all along the eastern front, and SO im- peded the services of supply that it was immpossible for the moment to resume the advance in the Sasa Baneh sector.
 Ethiopian prisoners told Italian officers that the army of Ras Nas- sibu, defending the country north of Sasa Baneh, were intact, well equipped and possessed of ample ammunition and food.
 Making Last Effort
 London, April 30.-UP)-All available men were rushed from Addis Ababa today to meet the Italians in a last effort to halt the advance on the capital, the Ex- change Telegraph correspondent re- ported.
 The men were dispatched to the mountains between Addis Ababa and Debra Brehan, some 60 miles away the correspondent said.
 Debra Brehan, the largest grain center in the area, lies on flat plain separated from the capital by mountains. The position offers the last chance of defense.
 British Red Cross men told the correspondent that the Italians were just north of Debra Brehan last night.
 The Red Cross men reported that they evacuated Debra Brehan hur- riedly last night, leaving truckloac of equipment, when native runner arrived, panting, to inform them that Italian camp fires were twink ling only ten miles to the north, the correspondent said.
 He added that the Red Cross men expressed belief that the Italians had abandoned their motorized equipment and, 5000 strong, were advancing afoot. It was believed this might have reference to the Italian advance guard of Askari soldiers from Eritrea.

WORK RELIEF FOUND NECESSARY EVEN IN TIMES OF PROSPERITY ASSERTS WELL KNOWN ECONOMIST
Permanent Army of Unemployed the Biggest Question Facing the Country Today Whether Times Are
 Good or Bad, Says John I. Flynn

New York, April 30-The tnevit- ability of constant group of mil- Hons of unemployed, even in periods Of high prosperity, is indicated by a survey of the entire situation just completed for Golfers by John T. Flynn, who sees work relief in one form or another as the only satis- factory solution of the problem.
 Even back in March 1929 when everyone was supposed to be pros porous and happy, MT. Flynn points out, there were only about 45 mil- lion at work and three million un- employed. To-day there are forty million on private payrolls and five million on relief or works rolls. And i've million entirely unemployed.
 'HThe 40 million at work for pri- vate business are the doughnut," !" he says. "The ten million who are not privately employed are the hole in the doughnut. Two years ago the hole was 50 per cent larger than it is to-day. But the hole is still there, with this difference: that two years ago the hole was depression problem, while now it Is being rec ognized as a problem of prosper tty.
 Unemployment vs. Prosperity
 People have begun to ask them selves this question-can it be that prosperity can come back and un- employment finger along with us too? The answer, and 1t is import ant, is yes"
 This permanent unemployed army, MT. Flynn states, is the big gest question in the coming cam patgn, but, he adds, all the candi- dates are keeping pretty quiet about it.
 "All other questions are important chiefly because they bear. on this one," he says. "Alr the clatter and clamor about the Constitution and the Supreme Court, about the budget, extravaganza, government borrowing and imitation and gold is buzzing in our ears principally be- cause here are ten million people out of work and no one knows what to do about it.
 '.Back there in 1929 there were 48,479,00 employables. Of these 45,619,00O were at work and 2,860,- 900 were not. By March 1883, of these workers, 34,716,000 were at work and 13,763,000 were not. By November 1895 the number of these original workers employed was 39,- 92l,000. But there were 8,558,00O idle. This is what we would have to-day if our working population had stood still. But it has grown in these eventful six and half years. In that time 2,177000 pos silsle workers have been added to ths population. That is why the number of unemployed has de- creased less than employment has increased.
 Problem of Jobless Enormous

"The firm determination on the part of the government of the United States to reassert the rule of equal ity of treatment has already gone far to slow down the worlds re- cent drift toward the chaos of dis elimination and special advantage
