AS the statesmen began their talks, feeling was that political re- suits would be rneager. It was said that Hitler's idea was largely to show Mussolini what Nazism has accomplished in 4 1-2 years and especially to let Mussolini see the army which Germans believe the finest in the world.
 PrecaVtiOn Taken
 Remarkable precautions were taken to guard Mussolini in his journey across Austria. His train crossed the Italian border into Aus tria at 6:15 a. m. and stopped at Innsbruck at 2 a. m. for 20 min- utes. Officials headed by Minister of Interior Michael Skubl greeted Mus solini and visited his train.
 All across Austria, troops, gend- armes and policemen stood at close intervals along the railroad tracks, acing out. There were 4,300 men in all on guard duty for him along the 100-mile route. Windows of houses bordering the railroad tracks at Innsbruck, the sole stop, were closed by police order.
 Here, 1t was an imperial triumph. Massed formations of storm troop CTS, SS troopers, labor corps men, Hitler youth, Hitler maidens and army, navy and air force units were grouped to do Mussolini honor.
 The Fuehrer House, at which Hit Ter has his private home and of- ficers here, was lavishly decorated, Here Mussolini met Nazi leaders at noon and was luncheon guest.

New York, Sept. 25-(UP) Ger trude O'Keefe, 37-year-old typist, whose ? l-2 year romance with George o. Frank, Wall Street bank teller, ended when he fell in love w!!...Ai :. narpist, appears in felony court today to answer a change of murdering him on his 47th birthday.
 Police charged Miss O'Keefe killed Frank "by firing a bullet from a .32-caliber automatic pistol into his head" A .32-caliber revolver was found in her apartment. Detectives searched for a man who reportedly told friends that he had seen a woman following Frank a few min- uteS before his body was found on the sidewalk few doors from Miss O'Keefe's apartment Tuesday night. The man was said to have seen the woman hiding behind an automo- bile. we've got to find him." said Assistant District Attorney Anthony DiGiovanna.

Daylight SaDing
 Time Ends Sunday

pany reported last April that 1t had 1e0,O00 prone calls from harassed subscribers who wanter to know what the right time was and did they have to move the clock back ward or forward.
 Ellsworth Reming of Buffalo, 8 daylight town, went to Rochester, a standard time town, and got a parking ticket for overstaying a zone. He explained that the change in times had confused him and the traffic charge against him was dis" missed.
 Perhaps the most unusual note of all came out of war-torn Spain where the loyalist government arl- nounced daylight saving time in all its territory. This, 1t was pointed out, would give its troops an extra hour in which to fight every day.
 EngIishman Had Idea
 The actual origin of daylight time is somewhat obscure, but an EngIishnlan named William Willett was one of the first to propose 1t. His idea was to advance the clock 20 minutes a Sunday for six Sum- days - a total of two hours. He theorized that no one would miss the two hours in such easy stages. The late John Anderson of New foundland convinced Willett that one hour was plenty.
 Willett has been honored by & statue in London but there is no monument to Anderson, the modi- ficationist. ......
 Marcus M. Marks of New York then took up the work. He formed the National Daylight Saving Asso- ciation in 1917 and permitted 1t to lapse a decade or so later because he said, daylight saving is now able to speak for itself and to stand or fall on it's merits"
 World War Measure
 The movement got its greatest impetus during the World War when the government adopted 1t to conserve fuel. After two years the farm bloc in Congress succeeded ID having the order revoked.
 The Merchants Association looks toward the day when the nation will be solidly on summer time and situations such as this will be im- possible:
 At 4 o'clock start for Newry; For half an hour drive like fury, Arriving there at half-past three, Which is a great surprise to me.
 It probably should be titled, "The Good New Summer Time"

Frank. She had demanded an ex- planation of why his love had cooled, why he had forsaken her for the younger, more vivacious Grace Don- ahue, member of Q prominent New England family. ...
 "Why the sudden let down?" she asked in letter dated Aug. 3l, 1886. "The only conceivable explanation I can offer myself is that you found someone else. If that is true, please tell me so. I'm big enough to under stand-,I realize ones heart has no steering wheel. Certainly seven and one-hah years of uninterrupted de- votion entities me to an explanation "a true one, whatever 1t may be. A gentleman-iyi particular an en- gagged gentleman-doesn't just take a walk without letting a lady know what 1t is all about"
 The district attorneys ofiice was prepared to ask that Miss O'Keefe be held on charge of possessing a revolver without 8 permit in the event that her attorney, Samuel S. Leibowitz, is successful in arguing that there is not sufficient evidence to continue holding her for horhi- eide.

years experience in its employ at the present time. He. is not Guild member.
 q might also mention that the proposed Guild scale, as published in the American under MT. Meyers authority, differs from that offered to me. In last nights American a scale from $22 to $40 is announced Presented to the Democrat was a scale ranging from $22 to $45. I just mention this to keep the record straight.
 Guild Demands TempOrized
 q notice, too, that MT. Meyers has temporized the Guild demands for vacations with pay. As pre- sented formally to the Democrat the proposal read:
 Employees shall be entitled to an annual vacation with full pay at the rate of one week after six months service, two weeks after one years service, three weeks after five years service.
 Now, if the Waterbury American quotes him correctly, it is two weeks vacation with pay which is the custom that the Waterbury Democrat has always followed and which 1t notified the Guild 1t had no intention of changing.
 "The same might be said also of sick leave, as in the past the Dem- ocrat has granted full pay within reason.
 MT. Meyers does not mention severance or dismissal pay whereby the company would be compelled to pay as high as thirty weeks salary in a lump sum should an employe resign or be dismissed.
 More Than Half Way
 "All in all can only say that we have gone more than half way ir meeting Guild demands on wages Our hours of work now are moi long or tiresome. We are willing tc spread a 40-hour week over five and one-half days; we will grant employees cumulative time-off fol all overtime work. The charge oi 'intolerable working conditions do not understand for I have never received a complaint from a single member of the eight striking em. ployes on this score.
 Meyers Covering Up
 q might mention also that Mir Meyers is obviously covering ur something, what, I don't know when he says the eight strikers have been with the Democrat ai average of nearly six years eacf =. ; AS a matter of strict fact again only four of the eight have been with Us six years or more. Oi the remaining four one has beer with us just four years; one, two years; and two a year. regard this as more significant than MT. Mey- CTS six year average.
 Seniors Living Wage Cry
 "In conclusion I can only say that we have been and still are willing to do all within reason for Guild employees, but demands that have no bearing on Mir. Seniors living wage cry and which merely seek to place one more American newspaper under the dominance of the American Newspaper Guild cannot be met"
