SPANISH GOVT. COMPLICATIONS
(continued From Page 1>

NGQutluueQ kTOIu EHge lJ bor union mem and the union re- publican political party. This was the left wing. On the other side, the right wing, were the socialist poli- tical party, the communist party, the anarcho-syndicalist CNT union and the left republican party. The socialists, communists, CNT and left republicans refused lln- qualihedly to accept Large CabaI- lero's demands for power to reor- ganize the cabinet along his own lines.
 A series of conferences between the president and party leaders end- ed just before midnight last night with no progress made, with Largo Caballero aflgrily refusing to try further to form a minister, and with President Azana seeking g iieW pre- mier with socialist leaders as the apparently most likely candidates. CUmmunists Opposed The communists were the leaders of the opposition to Largo Cabal- lero's cabinet consoli lidation plan. Their leader, Jose piaz, was busy all evening consulting first Azala, then his own men. Each time he returned to Azana to say that his men would not give in to Large Caballero. It was apparent from Largo Babal- lero's statements before his final re- filsal to keep trying to form "a cab inet, that the firm opposition to his plans was unexpected. Since he took office last September, in hope of centralizing loyalist efforts against the nationalists, Largo Caba1lero had been the strong man of the gov- ernment. As premier and war Ifiin- ister he was head man.
 What He Demanded It was understood that he de- Inanded:
 That he continue as premier and war minister, with fellow lead- CTS of his General WorketS, Union holding the key posts of foreign and interior ministers, the interior miri- ister being the police authority. As war minister, Largo Caballero would have controlled the war, navy, avia- ton and munitions departments with q sub-secretary actively at the head of each.
 2-That the socialist party get the finance and agriculture ministries, merged into one department, and the commerce and industry depart ment.
 3-That the counrnunists get the education ,st ad s,a lsSos r, minis ministries. h - tent with the justice and health ministries,

He would have emerged into one great, all powerful general stan the present army. navy and aviation staffS and would have brought in 8 member of the rnlNlni- tions ministry. There would haye heen a higher war colinciI under Large Caballero, with reprssents tives of the main coalition bl9cks, including tue basques and GatAloo- niaas, and general staff officers fQr each of the fighting services. Thls council, to meet once g week, would have dealt only with the biggest problems.
 Finally there would have been a central economic council to do for economies and commerce what the higher war council did for the war directly.

 statement Issued
 The complete statement is as fol- lows:
 "Relative to a score head story appearing in the Bridgeport Sunday Herald ili which 1t is stated that the Scovill Manufacturing Company was taking every precaution to com bat a labor outbreak in its mills in Waterpury: the story further con tinues that the sheriff, Edward J. Slavin of New Haven had deputized twenty-five employees to see that peace and quiet are maintained at all times among the workers during CTO activity.
 "Mr. John H. Goss asserted to Alex Cashin, CIO organizers that this is not true. MT. Goss stated that in as much as a railroad ran through the property it had always been the policy to maintain a cer- tain amount of deputized guards to guard and protect company prop- erty. MT. GoSs further asserted that the present deputizatioi1 was not made to curb CIO activities.
 MT. GoSs, along with Alex Cash in and Philip Brainard, C1O organ izers, and Adolph. Curtis, president of local 251, stated that friendly re- lations are existing between the rlInanagement, and their employees, whether they are members of the union or not. The statement was also made that the company was and will continue to bargain with representatives of the Waterbury Brass Workers Union No. 251 who were elected by the members of the union to represent them in rlegoti- ating differences with the manage ment.
 "Mr. Goss told Alex Cashin that the number of guards would not exceed five in number and that these guards were not in any sense of the word to be considered as peace officers and that they were solely used to guard company prop erty.

Whether or not this cut VIII auecL the city,s present WPA personnel, which is usually reduced each work period when men leave the WPA for private employment, is not definitely known at the present time. Two factors indicate that the reduction will not have a great bearing on the local personnel.
 No Big Reduction
 One is the fact that Mayor Hayes appeal last week directly to Wash ington to put a stop to any curtail- ment here in order to ease the bur-. den of the local welfare depart ment. The other reason is due to the fact that men are leaving the WPA here with such regularity at the end of each work period for private jobs that there is no rea- son for a wholesale slice of per- sonnel. Industry in Waterbury is taking care of the reduction by ab- sorbing men.
 The report of Hopkins stated that there are now more than 1000 on the state WPA pay rolls. If the reduction were to hit Waterbury in spite of the protests of the mayor and notwithstanding the existing condition in regard to men leaving the roles for private employment it Is believed that the number of men and women who would be removed would be less than 9.
 Period Ends
 Today marked the end of the present work period here in Water bury Men on outside jobs ard those not connected with the education al branch of the WPA, will resume work on Monday, May 24. The per- iod is scheduled to begin on the 22nd but inasmuch as this is a Sat- day, work will not begin until the following Monday.

Change in StFategy

This change in strategy is at- tributed to resentment against Mr. Roosevelt,s refusal to conapromise and and Farley,s week end intima- ton that the pressure of White House displeastlre would scorch re- calcitrant democrats. Despite White House iiisistence on the original court bill, belief persists here that MT, Roosevelt will agree to compromise when the time is appropriate, pos- sibiy on an increase of the court by two members. The committees ac- ton tomorrow will carry the court debate to the senate. Farley's re- marks promise to arouse stormy pro test although patronage and White House pressure are traditional Weap- ons in contests between executiye and legislative branches of govern rnent. Every administratieh, deny.llo- cratic or republican, has utilized them. But tke capital brZzed today with discussion of Farley's frank statement of adm admlilnlis lll tration pressure policy.

 Results of the elections conducted Saturday under supervision of the National Labor Relations Board were announced last night by re- gional Director A. Howard Myers as follows:
 c. I. o. Held Election
 Highland Shoe Company -- For c. I. O., 160; against, 26.
 Prospect Shoe Company - For c. I. O., 192; against, 73.
 Morphy Shoe Company = For c. I. O., 188; against, 73.
 AS result of the vote, the three manufacturers have agreed to bar gain with U. S. w. A. representa- tives on demands for 15 per cent pay increase, 8 40-hour week and a closed shop. Strikers in the three factories returned to work a fort night ago.
 Formal complaints against the Cushman, Augusta, Somerset and Clark Shoe companies were issued by pr. Myers on complaint of the U. s. w. A. specifically, the fnanu- facturers were charged with: 1.-Domirating and supporting the Lewiston and Auburn Shoe Workers Protective association, g rival union..
 2.-Refusing to bargain collec- lively with the U. s. w. A. 3.-Maintaining a blacklist of en- ployes who attempted to exercise rights guaranteed by the law" Each complaint named the Lewis ton and Auburn Shoe nlanufactur- CTS association as correspondent. The first open-air mass meeting of strikers attracted 4000 to Lewis ton City Park yesterday. Chie1 speaker was Garfield Lewis of the United Mine Workers of America who predicted victory for the strik- CTS.

with newly created department of public safety. This would have placed Senator Lawlor, as athletic commissioner, under the Jurisdiction of the head of this newly created department.
 The new public safety department will not be set up this session of the legislature. This is foregone con- cluSion. Therefore, Senator Lawlor will be among the various depart ment heads who will not lose their authority.
 No Ratification Needed
 The term of athletic commission CT runs for four years. Unlike many other commissionerShips, the ap- pointment of the head of the ath- letic department of the state by the governor does not require ratifica- ton by the senate. Therefore, Gov ernor Cross appointment is expect ed any day this week. The salary of the office is $4,730, annually.
 Senator LaWlor is now complet- ing his first term as state athletic commissioner and has behind him a very good record according te those actively interested in the box ing and wrestling lines.

PARIS SUBWAY
 MURDER MYSTERY
Continued from Page D

because just one minute elapsed be- tween the time when the train left its starting point at Porte Chareton station, with the girl alive, and its arrival at Porte Doree with the vic- time drawing her last breath.
 The position of the knife made suicide out of the question.
 How Did He Escape
 Police first asked: How did the murderer leave a locked subway car which made no intermediate stop between the starting point and Porte Doree? The doors of sub way train lock automatically while the train is in motion.
 However, the end doors between cars, which formerly always were locked, were recently ordered by the prefecture of police to be unlocked to avoid loss of life in case of fire. Police have not revealed whether the order had been obeyed in th' case of this particular car, making it possible for the murderer to ope1 the end door of the first class car. riage, closing both behind him ir the few seconds left of his one min ute crime.
 The general public ignored the change of rules regarding the doors and even train employees always waited to change cars at stations, SC that the entrance of anyone, espe- cially passenger, between doors would have attfacted attention Both second class cars, preceding and following the first class car riage, were filled with, passengers who did not notice anyone enter through the door.
 Motive Not Robbery
 The victims handbag was un; touched, so the motive was not rob- bery. Her bag contained a punched subway ticket, which suggester that she entered the car unescorted since normally an escort would have had both tickets.
 Police advanced three theories all, however, merely guesses. One is that the woman was attacked by sadiSt.
 The second was that she was the victim of a crime of passion and was followed and stabbed by one o1 the many male friends who filled her life.
 The third, suggested by the typ ical use of the knife, was that as an Italian-born girl, she may have been mixed in the Italian under world, on the fringe of which she spent part of her life.

  yet definite. The Duke wants his youngest and favorite brother, the Duke of Kent, to be best man, and his sister, the Princess Royal to attend. The government in England has looked down its nose at pros pects of any member of the royal fanily's being present.
 Mrs. Constance Coolidge of the American colony living in Paris is likely to be a guest. MT. and Mrs. Rogers and MT. and Mrs. Charles Bedaux, the latter of whom own the Chateadue Cande, will attend
 Picked Press Group
 Rogers spent most of the day ne- gotiating with the reporters for a picked group of representatives of the press, to be present at the cer- emony. It seems those who attend will be placed behind palms-able to see without being seen.
 As soon as the official communl- que here announces the wedding plans another official announce inent of the Dukes engagement to wed Mrs. Warfield was expected 10 be published among routine items of court news in the London Gazette, probably Wednesday or Thursday.
 The duke was understood here to have made arrangements for this by telephone with his brother, King George VI, at Buckingham Palace
 Drops Name of Bessie
 London, May 17-(UP) Mrs, Wallis Warfield informed the world through the advertising columns of the Daily Telegraph today that she has dropped the Bessie" as well as the "Sirnpson" from her name.
 Said the notice in the telegraph:
 "Notice is hereby given that by deed poll dated the 7th May l93l I, Wallis Warfield, formerly or 9 Bryanston Court, in the county oi London. now residing at the Cha eau De Cande at Monts in the pro- vince of Indres Et Loire, France formerly Bessie Wallis Simpson have renounced and abandoned my Christian Name Bessie and also re- nounced and abandoned my sur name Simpson, and in lieu of such surname have assumed the surname warfield. Dates this 14th, May 1887.
 (Signed) wallis Warfield."
 SIander Suit Coming
 While those interested in Mrs Warfield's romance awaited eagerly the announcement, expected tomor- TOW, of the date of her wedding to the Duke of Windsor, it was re- ported that the islander suit which Ernest Simpson, her divorced hus- band, brought against Mrs. Joan Sutherland might be heard during the first week in June.
 It is regarded as almost certain that Mrs. Warfield and the Duke will marry during that week.
 Simpson sued Mrs. Sutherland, a society woman, complaining that she alleged he had been well paid to permit Mrs. Warfield to divorce him. Last term the case was re- moved from the calendar by con- sent of both parties. It is not on the calendar for the term starting May A but it may be restored by request of the principles, and the expectation is that it will be re- stored soon.
