 Some Way Out
By WILLIAM J. MORIARTY Democratic Legislative ReDOrterl

State Capitol, Hartford, May 27.- Especial to the Democrat) Nation al Committeeman David E. FitzGer- aid of New Haven, State Chairman J. Francis Smith of Waterbury, and other democratic leaders were in conference at the capitol this after noon trying to iron out the minor court judgeships.
 Senator Raymond J. Devlil, house majority leader who yesterday was nominated by Governor Wilbur L. Cross for the vacancy on the com- mon please court bench in New Ha- ven, stated to the Democrat at noon today that "It is very possible that judgShip resolutions will begin to pour in tomorrow. Today's confer ence was called to bring a final agreement on them"
 Gov. Cross Is Keyman
 Today's outlook showed Governor Wilbur L. Cross as occupying the key post in the judgeship matter. He looms as stronger as the legisla- tive session draws to 8 close. While it had seemed earlier this week that concurrence between the democratic senate and the republican house was likely, now this seems to be far away. If such is the case then the appointments of the minor court judges, as well as eight county com-

S25,OOO CIVIL
 SUIT IS, ]! SETTLED
$500. Paid Beverly Israel in Action Against Sam-
 uel, George Siller

The $25, 900 superior court civil suit of Beverly Israel against Samuel and George Siller of this city, was today settled by stipulation provid- ing for payment of $500. Judge Ken- meth Wynne approved the stipula- ton.
 Two other civil actions, also against the Sillers, ill which damages of $10,- 900 had been asked, were also set tied today and dropped from the docket. No terms of settlement were revealed in the latter acticns.
 Based on Collision
 All the actions were based on an automobile collision near the inter- section of Baldwin street and South Main street at 1 a. m., April 19 1886. The collision involved the au- tomobile owned by Samuel Siller, be- ing operated by George Siller, and that of Albert Stango, local ambu- lance driver.
 Stango, and passenger in his car, Hector Lahey. had each brought actions to recover $5,000 damages but these were dropped today. At torney Andrew D. Dawson filed their complaints. Each claimed serious in- juries as result of the accident.
 Guest Rider Statute
 Beverly Israel, whose $25,000 acc ton was settled for $500, brought suit under the guest rider statute. She was riding in the front seat of the Siller car when it al,egedly crashed the Stango vehicle. She claimed it required 25 stitches to close the wounds in her face, and that she would be permanently dis figured. She was represented by At torney Irving PaSternak.

 STRIKING HARD

Hendaye. French-Spanish From tier, May 27.-(UP)-Gen. Emilio Mola struck with all his force at the Loyalist lines south of Bilbao in an effort to break through to the Basque capital and end, the war on the Biscay front.
 Dispatches indicated that the attack was the biggest of the en- tire Bilbao operation. Massed air. planes, tanks and artillery were hurled against the Loyalist defenses in the mountains.
 Early reports to the frontier were that advance Basque LoyaliSt units were forced to retire under an aerial attack and that they retired to positions deeper in the mountains. Nationalists asserted that they took San Pedro Hill, killing 50 Loyalists, wounding 100 and taking 100 pres onerS.

 Frankensteen and Reuther charg- ed that they were attacked by Ford employees who ordered them to get of the company property. Two other fights broke out when union members drove up to the plant gates in automobiles and attempted to hand out pamphlets - urging em- employees to join the union.

 Reuther told a similar story. And union headquarters added:

New York, May 27.-(UP)-The resignation of Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt as honorary vice-president of the National Indian association was connected today with the or ganization's fear that the American Indian, free to indulge in old cus- toms, might precipitate again those terrible Indian wars of the past"
 Mrs. Otto Heinigke, president of the association 50-year-old or ganization devoted to teaching the Indian to live like white man. announced Mrs. Roosevelt's resigna- tion and described it as an "indica- ton of the intention of the adminis- tration in Washington to let the Indians alone to indulge in their old ways"
 "They (the administration per- init the war dances to be taught in Indian schools" she said. "There are tortures and all kinds of things. It is perfectly horrible, perfectly terrible.
 "The gover me mt apparently thinks it is 8 shame to destroy the old life of the Indians and wants them to go back to their old religions and customs. Why, they have those terrible war dances and tribal dances which are immoral and other things. If this sort of thing keeps up the old war spirit may be revived and we may go back to those terrible Indian wars of the past"
 About a month ago Mrs. Roosevelt asked that her name be dropped from the rolls and from the station cry. Mrs. Heinigke said, because "she

felt we had insufficient evidence to support charges we were making" In addition to this, she said, there were a series of disagreements be- tween the association and John Col Her, commissioner of the bureau of Indian affairs in Washington.
 One of the Charges" concerned an instance near Yerington, Neb.
 "The Indians there put on one of those terrible orgies," Mrs. Heinigke said. "They drank up all the liquor they could get, the men and women alike, and finally they drained the anti-freeze out of the automobile radiators and drank that. Eleven of them died"
 This "orgy" by the Flutes Indians was the basis of the charges" men, tioned in Mrs. Roosevelt's letter, she said. The Flutes last war demon stration against the United States was in 1878.
 Referring again to the possibilities of another Indian war Mrs. Hein- igke said: "The Indians are wonder full fighters. They performed won- derful service for the United States in the last war. If we ever have an other war we will miss them terribly If they aren't there"
 Mrs. Heinigke denied that the na- tional Indian association sought tc convert the Indians for thelr pagan religion"
 Tt is not the intention to get them into any church." she said. "Of course when the Indian Families want to become converts, contacts are made with missionaries"

 An independent survey at 6 a. m. showed that 20 plants had been closed and that 62,450 men either were on strike or had been forced into idleness by strikes. The com panies announced no figures, but a few scattered plants still were op- erating. The effectiveness of the strike will be more apparent after the hour when day shifts normally report at the mills.
 Shouting, singing pickets paraded around and around plants in Youngstown, Cleveland, South Chi- cago, and smaller industrial towns between. The strike had been called for midnight, but in several places it began an hour or so pre-
