 After being served with the writ and summons. the superintendent conferred with Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor, who will ap- pear for him at the hearing in Mid dletown, and plans were made for fighting the injunction proceedings
 First Appearance
 The Spain in Flames" contro. versy first came into the headlines late in May. when the Superintend- ent refused to issue Q permit allow. ing the picture to be shown here June 5. The picture, he said, was too controversial. and had been banned in several states and scores of cities about the country. Nc legal action was taken at the time. Supt. Roach was supported in his stand by several local veterans or. ganizations, by Catholic societies and other groups. His stand wat condemned by two or three other organizations.

I piled for license to exhibit "spain in Flames' here, setting July 22 as the date. The superintendent refused to issue the license. and declined to accept S offered him as alicense fee.
 Hartford Attorney
 The legal proceedings arc brought through Attorney Ralph O. Wells, of Hartford, who sought to secure the license for the picture yester- day. The order to show cause was signed by Judge Inglis in Middl. town. where Q special session Of the superior court is being held during the summer. while other superior courts are adjourned till the fall.
 The writ describes the committee as . voluntary organization whose purpose is to obtain funds for the civilian population of Spain. The picture. the writ says. has been shown at many public meetings and has the effect of enliSting the inc tcrcst and support Of those wit. messing it.
 To Raise Funds
 Solely for the purpose of rais- ing funds" the picture has been booked for a showing at Temple hall the 22nd. The hall. says tho writ, is safe and non- hazardous, and city ordinance provides that q license for the showing of moving pictures in a hall or store shall be issued by the superintendent on payment Of $5 q day.
 An application for a license was filed yesterday with Supt. Roach, the writ says. together with the e5 license fec. He refused the license on the ground that the picture is "too controyersial' and declined to accept the $5. The picture, claim the plaintiffs, is a true portrayal or events in Spain. and not indecent or immoral. The picture, 1t Is claimed. does not encourage the overthrow of government, or vIo- fence or disorder.
 Greatly Handicapped
 The plaintiffs allege they are greatly handicapped in the perform ance Of a service to humanity and are deprived of anticipated revenues. They claim an injunction restrain- ing Supt, Roach from refusing to issue license for the picture, and an injunction restraining him from interfering otherwise with the showing of the picture on the scheduled date.
 At the time of the original ap- plication for a permit. delegation of ministers visited the police chief and sought to have him grant the necessary permission. He refused to do so.
 The hearing on the order to show cause will begin at 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning in Middletown. Corporation Counsel O'Connor will be assisted by Attorney Timothy Sullivan in defending Supt. Roach.

 "The far eastern interests of the United States and Great Britain have been continually encroached upon by the Japanese he said. Tn view of these conditions, these two countries have, in the past year, taken a more positive attitude of cooperation toward China"

 Most Of the appointments came as a surprise. Attorney Talbot Suc- ceedcd Attorney James F. Swec- ney AS prosecuting attorney: Mr. Kelly succeeded John M. Sutherland as clerk Of the court, and MT. Ba%- ter succeeds Mrs. Edna c. Fenni- man as probation officer. The ap- poIntmcnts were evenly divided, Attorneys Talbot and Weary being republicans, and Mir. Kelly and Mir. Baxter, democrats.
 Much Interest Here
 The appointments caused much interest here. Many had expected that either Attorney Talbot or At torney Ncary would be named to the prosecuting attorney post, but ap- pointment of MT. Kelly was a com plete surprise. The fact that Mr. Baxter had good chance of get- ting the post became known a few days ago.
 The position Of prosecuting attor- ney will not be new to MT. Talbot as he held this under Judge Clare mont I. TolleS before he was ap- pointed judge. This makes Atto-- ney Neary's second term of office. MT. Kelly is a comparative new comer to local politics. He was nominated by the democratic party to the post of democratic member Ot the board of education last April, succeeding Attorney Henry J. Free man on that board. MT. Baxter has never held political office before.
 Came From Waterbury
 MT. Kelly came to Naugatuck from Waterbury a number of years ago and has made many friends. He IS foreman of the composing room Of the Naugatuck News. Mir. Baxter, a native of Naugatuck and a grad uate of the Naugatuck High school, has been a newspaperman for eight years and has been connected with the Democrat for five years.
 No cases were scheduled today. Three beautiful baskets of flowers were brought in court and placed on the judges bench. They were from friends Of Judge McDonough and enhanced the appearance Of the court.

 Thunderstorm Broke
 The wedding, solcmnized in can dle-lit Christ church at Christiana Hundred while a thunderstorm gathered and broke outside, brought together the nations first politicaI family, fianked by scores Of rela- tives and new deal chieftah1S, and It's ranking industrial clan, anti new deal to the core.
 All political differences, however were forgotten during the auStere- ly beautiful Protestant Episcopal single ring ceremony fin the flower banked little church which has been the scene of DuPont weddings and christenings for 78 years.
 The rites were conducted in part by the Rev. pr. Endicott Peabody, 00-ycar-old headmastcr Of Grotoh achool, Groton, Mass, who g years ago presided at q similar ceremony for the bridegrooms parents.
 Both Sides Smiled
 After young Roosevelt turned to his bride clad in Q GoSSamer-lik like drss of billowing white, and grave ly kissed her, there was general Fodding of heads and exchange Of einiles between the DuPonts, seated on the left side Of the Satin-covered aisle, and the RooscveltS, seated on the right.
 The seating arrangements, with the conservative DuPontS placed on the side traditionally reserved for the brides family ald the liberal Rooseyelts on the other. evoked con siderable tittcring as the $40 wed |. ding guests filed out Of the church.
 ''The leftists on the right and the rightists on the left" DuPont remarked.
 President Is Life of Party
 The president was the life Of the party" as cabinet members chattcd with republican industrialistS and new dealers fraternized with "lib- crty leaguerS." MT. Roosevelt laid aside the role of chief executive for the evening and, assuming that of proud father. had such good time that he held up the special train waiting to take him to Hyde Park, N. Y, for more than 70 min utes.
 While the younger guests brayed the storm under the canVaS-p pro- tected marquee outside, where an orchestra played for dancers and champagne and scotch and rye were served, the older ones remained in- doors, where the president proposed toasts.

 4. Creation of a department of public works, headed by Robert A. Hurley, Bridgeport. He also is at work. but without personnel, except for an assistant or two.
 5. Elimination of the state board of finance and control.
 Unique Plan Watched
 Authorities on state government were watching closely the operation of tn merit system, purchasing and budget departments, which have been tightly correlated under the indirect supervision of Finance Commissioner Hall. This was con- sidered as unique" in the opera tion of state governments in the United States. Operation of the new budget system may place the state virtually on "pay-as-you-go" basis Eight times during the next two years, Governor Cross will receive from Commissioner Hall and Direc- tor Whitaker estimates as to ex- penditures of every state department and institution during the forth cofing quarter.
 These expenditures will be com pared with estimate income. If there isn't enough money, the bugets will be cut as required to retain Q hal- anced state budget. The new sys- tem was expected to do away with future deficiency bills in the gen. eral assembly.

Under the act. each department will purchase It's own supplies, but only with the approval of the purchasing supervisor. Under the old bill, the purchasing director would have done all the buying himself.

 The award Is totalled as follows. $l,600 for medical and hospital ex. penses; $2,025 for 27 weeks of total disability; and $240 for eight weeks of partial disability. Coverage for these features was provided in the policy issued to Senator Culhanc.
 Judge Finn's Finding
 Judge Finn finds that the injury was caused to Senator Culhane when he vas called to the scene of an accident which involved his wife and children. His wife, weigh ing i60 pounds, was sitting on the sidewalk and in mysteries. In at- tempting to pick her up, Senator Culhane slipped on small stones on the sidewalk, and in re-grasp- Ing Mrs. Culhane suffered an exer- tion and sharp pain in his heart. He was disabled from that date to July l.
