PROBE LAWYERS
 OF WATERBURY
Report Is About Ready to Be Presented Several
 May Be Called

Investigation of alleged corrupt and unethical practices on tho. part of some Waterbury lawyers has been practically completed by the group of special investigators which has been probing conditions here and proceedings against at least several Waterbury attorneys can be ex- 'pected shortly, 1t was reported to- day. Legal circles were buSzing with an unconfirmed rumor that grave charges would be filed against five barristers here and that lesser counts might be filed ag:'::5t sev- eral more.
 The probe of bar conditions in New Haven county has been in charge of Chief Investigator Thom- as McArdle, of Boston, who has been operating from headquarters in New Haven. The investigation has the support, 1t is understood, of the state supreme court of errors. Charges have already been lodged against several New Haven lawyers, and disposition of the cases is now being awaited, while in Meriden testimony against several attorneys from that town were taken at Spe- cial hearings held in the Silver City.
 Climax of Probe Near
 Today's report on the local phase of the investigation has 1t that the climax of the probe here will be reached in the very near future, and that the accumulation and sitting of evidence has been almost ended. What the exact procedure will be Is not known, but probably 1t will take the form of submitting the evidence to the grievance committee of the New Haven County Bar association for action. Tn New Haven, the evidence was placed be- fore the county association griev- ance committee and the latter group made the formal charges.
 More Serious Tinge
 From the stories of the irlvestiga- ton heard today, the local portion of the probe has taken on more serious tinge than was expected, and charges considerably more serious than those of the anticipated

COURT DECISION
 ON RESTAURANTS

Hartford, Conn, June iO.-(UP)-- The supreme court today ruled that . restaurant need not serve hot meals ct regularly stated intervals in order to obtain Q permit to sell li- quoT.
 The opinion, written by Justice George D, Hlnrnan in the appeal of Mrs. Amelia Guillara, New Britain, placed 6 broader interpretation upon the regulation of the state liquor control commission which refused Mrs, Guillara c license because meals were not served at least twice daily at regular hours and the serv- ing of food did not constitute the principal business.
 Justice XEinman, in ordering the case renianded to superior court for retrlal, found that . restaurant was "a place at which, during the hours when restaurants are usually open, not meals are served to oil customers ordering them" and added such service must be sufficient in nature and amount, however. to evidence and afford asurance of Q bona fide restaurant business instead of mere pretnxt for the obtaining Of per- kalt to sell alcoholic liquors as a nginclpal purpose and enterprise"
 5sasliee Hiniran stated that "iE Ma leaislature had intended % pre- MFabe regular meals" in that re- glrlcied ssinse tas designated by the eosnmlssionl it easily cnlild. and nrobabiy would. have done so."

 Public Hall, Cleveland. June l0.-- (UP)--Senator Frederick Steiwer bedraggled by triumphant today from a tussle with a scientinc Frankenstein, which nearly ruined one of the major addresses of the republican national convention.
 Picture the battle of the barrel chested Oregonian against wheels which wouldn't turn, electric cur rents which wouldn't flow, and sig nals which wouldn't buzz. engulfing his historic keynote speech in a welter of mechanical tribulations:
 The hour is 9:l0 D. m. Ten thou sand republicans whistle and clap as Steiwer tramps down the green floored platform to issue the g.o.p.s defiance of the New Deal. One dog en gigantic kleig lights spear his graying head with blue-white plane.

LANDON CLAIMS
 DEADLOCK ENDS
Followers Say Platform Is No Longer Threatened
 By Senator Borah
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS Copyright, 1036, by United Press)

Public Hall, Cleveland, O., June 10. --(UP). = A partial compromise cracked the platform deadlock be- tween the forces of Gov. Ali Landon of Kansas and Sen. William E. Borah today. William Allen White, Kansas publisher and one of Lan- don,s chief aides, conferred with Borah for five minutes and capitu- ulated to two of the Idaho senator's chief demands:
 1-That he be permitted to place his blanks before the platform com- mittee.
 Elf his blanks are rejected, Lan- donites agreed to fight for Q chance for Borah to defend his position be- fore the full convention.
 we are making definite progress toward an agreement, White said.
 White Almost Ran
 The Kansas publisher, sleepy but happy, almost ran through the cor- riders of the hotel where the plat form subcommittee of l4 resumed it's work. He told newspapermen that Former Sen. John Thomas of Idaho had taken the Landon platform to Borah for examination. If Borah jS dissatisfied with any of its pro- visions, White said, he will be given an opportunity to present sugges- tions to the platform committee. If those suggestions are rejected, White said, then "the Landonites will demand that MT. Borah get a chance to defend his blanks on the convention floor"
 Party Leaders May Oppose
 Earlier when Borah made these demands party leaders said privately that they would oppose such action. They argued that if Borah was given this opportunity, then the conven- ton would have to be thrown open to representatives of all organiza- tons making . fight for special blanks.
 Borah Is Stubborn Appeals were made to Borah to withdraw his demands but he re- fused. White spent most of last night trying to get in touch with the 'lion of Idaho'f but failed. Borsh had ordered his telephone disconnected 50 he could sleep. Half

 Hoover, by the way, arrived in town early today and was greeted ct the station by Q tremendous throng of people, most of whom showed their enthusiasm for him by waving straw hats with 'Landon- for- President" bands on them, and beating their neighbors on the shing with Twin With Landon" walking sticks. The former president wore his customary high tariff wall collar, and a look which indicated he didn't quite know how the Stan- ford football team was going to get along, without Fullback Grayson next year.
 Whats in . Name
 That 1t pays to be an ex-president was proved when Hoover, or one of hiO aides, whistled for 8 cab. He didn't have to wait more than i've minutes, and when 1t came the driver went out of his way to pile his lug gage on his lap, instead of on his legs.

 As the third session of the national convention opened this morning, Governor Ali Landon's chances of receiving the presidential I1ornina" ton on the first ballot were eTl. l1anced by a Pennsylvania caucus which gave him 50 more votes, of the delegations 75.

 The old guard east relented fin its determination to stay of the Lan- don band wagon until assurances are obtained that Sen. William E. Borah will not dictate the Kansas governors presidential platform.
 Landon leaders, meantime, are reported to have offered concessions to prevent a Borah bolt. But the wars are not ended. Wisconsin dele- gates are maneuvering to get Borah before the convention for an at. tack on Landon and his policies If the Idaho progressive rejects plat- form peace overtures. The big break for Landon was in Pennsylvania where @ caucus nose count showed a minimum of 50 first ballot votes for the Kansan.

Cleveland, June 10.--(UP).--Sen. William F. Borah, the man who travels alone in this political cam paign, was sparing in comment to- day on his party's opening call to oust the new deal from Washing ton.
 Tn typical Borah fashion, the H. year r-old 1dahoan stayed away from the convention sessions. But he got a copy of the keynote speech de- livered by Sen. Frederick Steiwer Of Oregon, and declared: Y.
 Tt was a strong, sturdy Ameri- can speech"
 Although Steiwer injected some of Borahs Ideas into his party battle cry, the shaggy-n1aned senate vet- eran refused to expand his com. ment, He wanted to wait, 1t was said, until the resolutions committee drafts the platform which the party will offer to the country as Q Sub- stitute for Roosevelt policies.
