Legal Mentor or Coolidge
 Dies Suddenly Today

Northampton, Mass, Sept. 30.- (UP) Judge Henry P. Field, 70, Hamp- shire probate court, who launch- ched the late president Calvin Coolidge on his legal cereer, died of heart disease at hospital today. The judge was stricken three weeks ago. Only yesterday he had marked his 79th birthday anniversary. It was in Fields office that Coolidge read law after graduating from Amherst college, which also was the jlirist,s alma mater. In 1895 Field sponsored Coolidge for admission to the Hampshire county bar. Twenty four years later 1t was Field, as a presidential elector, who nominated Coolidge for vice-president.
 It was Field who in May 1886 publicly denounced the circus" features of the ( auction at which Coolidge household goods and other memorabilia were disposed of in a school gymnasium. Though the alc- ton was. authorized by Mrs. Grace Goodhve Coolidge, the presidents widowTwas in Europe when the sale was field.

Washington, Sept. 30-(UP)-The annual convention of the National Council of Catholic Women ended today after passing resolution Condenaning birth control.
 The council resolved:
 That the pseudo-scientiflc prin- ciples offered to women to defy the God-given right of co-creatorship and to set at naught his choicest blessings be condemned. as per- nicious, injurious to health and body and destructive to peace of con- science, degrading to purity of wom- ankind and unworthy of Christian women"
 The council also authorized a campaign against the "sale and dis trihution of all salacious literature" which, members said, was being widely distributed to children of high school age. It also condemned 'lurid" newspaper advertising in connection with motion pictures.
 The Right Rev. Fulton J. Sheen of Catholic University, at the closing meeting of the convention last night denounced communism. # "The unit of society,"" he said, "is not the worker with the hammer and sickle but the woman with the cradle--the family"

MERIT SYSTEM HACKERS IN COURT TEST Judge DickensOn Gives Surprise Ruling Earlier
 Than Was Expected PETITION VALIDITY
 WAS QUESTIONED Question of Any Vote on Proposal Goes Over Until
 After Election

Mandamus proceedings which would have forced a referendum on a merit syS- tenn for Waterbury on the voting machines were denied today by Judge Edwin c. Dickenson of the Superior Court in a surprise decision made a day earlier than ex- pected. The judge earlier had indicated his question of validity of the petition which was signed by more than 5000 per- sons before the final draft of the amendment was made. However, he was to hold court tomorrow morning when ruling was ex- pected.
 Vote Must Go Over
 The decision will mean that ths question of vote on the proposal of the Waterbury chapter of the Merit System Association, Inc, of Connecticut will go over until such a time as sufficient signatures are obtained to provide for a special election. Both Corporation Counsel Charles s. O'Connor and Merit Sys- ter counsel concurred that this would, of necessity, be the pro- cedure.
 Observers saw removal of naJor political issue by today's opinion in favor of the board of aldermen, Merit system counsel are prepared to continue their efforts after the election to obtain vote on similar referendum.
 Last Minute Attempt M
 The writ of mandamus which would have forced vote on adop- ton of civil service by amendment to the city charter was obtained as 8 last-minute attempt of the Merit System packers after the city coun- sel and Board of Aldermen had found the petition illegal Judge Dickenson denied motion to quash the writ, but at hearing Tuesday said he would rule on the merits of the case" and not on @ motion to 'non-suit," offered by the cor | poraClon counsel.
 Inudicated It Was Invalid
 At that time the judge indicated he was of the opinion that the pe- tition had been obtained under cir- cunstances tending to make it in- valid. This was following testimony of chief witness for the merit sys- tenn who told of several thousand persons signing the petition before the amendment was completed.
 At that time 1t was testified 3,Oi0 persons of the 7,437 checked for sig natures against the 1936 voting list had signed before the amendment was complete. This meant that sec- ton 56 of the city charter had not been compiled with, because this section explicitly states that 15% to 25% of the registered voters must sign any petition which will be con- sidered for amendment.
