to the April term of superior court.
 After studying the case for Sev- erai weeks, States Attorney Law renee l.. Lewis decided not to sum- mon grand jury to seek to indict him on a murder charge, but to charge him with manslaughter. which count he could lodge himself without action by grand jury.
 The alleged crime was described by States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis shortly before noon in Supe- rior court. He declared that the ac- cused had been in a belligerent mood all evening, and had caused the trouble with Watts. Watts, he said, did not attempt to defend himself.
 Attorney Meyer declared on Max wells behalf that. the accused had been drinking heavily and that he remembered little that had gone on during the night that Watts lost his life. If the court showed leniecy, he said, Maxwell might start up- ward from "the continuation of a downward path, to which drinking heavily had led him. It Is diffi- cult case for your honor" said Att torney Meyer. but I hope that you will make the sentence as short as possible so that this man may be brought back to society"
 At this point, Judge O'Sullivan deferred sentence.

New York and Hartford, the elder Bergoff testified that Rand had hired him to send 60 men to Mid- dletown vast June 26 to diSmantle the plant. One of Bergoff,s assist ants charged that he had been of- fered $5O00 to escort strike breakers into Connecticut. Hjalmar Ander- son, who was witness before the board, testified that Rand rode up and down the picket lines in Middle town last July thumbing his nose at the strikers.
 What Rand Claims
 '"The company is prepared to submit ncontrovertible evidence" ," Rand said today, that the men transported to Middletown did not intefere with picketing or organiz- ing. They were to be employed sole- ly for the lawful purpose of crating and removing machinery. They were not put to work because just prior to their arrival company officials de- cided to resume manufacturing op- erations in MiddletoWn.
 'No strike breaker was ever trans- ported into Connecticut in violation of the Byrnes act or to take the place of any worker on strike-and there are more than 1900 regular workers employed now in that plant as compared with 1900 before the strike"
 The company Inc added, stands on the statement of Attorney Gen. eral Cummings last July that "the Byrnes law does not deal with the transportation of persons to work in mill or [ factory; this law will have to be viewed in the light of state laws, some of which permit only peaceful picketing.'
 "Eyeryone knows that the Mid- dletown picketing was @ lawless that Governor Gross had to call out state troopers time and again to protect workers in theiE right ta F0Kls' z s.. <.

the Remington Rand plant in Mid dletown, called in sympathy with walk-outs at other company plants in New York and Ohio. Workers in all plants planned to vote today on proposal offered by Rand to settle the strike.
 Charge of Prosecutors
 Government prosecutors charged that Rand and Bergoff had violated the 3yrnes act which makes 1t felony to transport strike breakers across state lines or to interfere with peaceful picketing during a strike. Conviction carries a maxi mum penalty of two years in prison, or a fine of $5OOO, or both. In New York, Rand announced that If in this enlightened country a business man can be indicted for doing the lawful things necessary to protect the majority of 1l,000 of his em- ployts in their right to work against lawless militant minority, then I am proud to be indicted in such a cause. T am glad of the oppor- tunity for trial before a fair tribunal in which all the ways of local rack teerS can be exposed-even to their influence upon departments of our federal government"
 Grand Jury Witnesses
 Witnesses before the grand jury included Earl Bergoff, a son of Bergoff and a director of his con- cern; J. E. Seykore, an agent of the federal bureau of investigation: Charles A. Anderson, Middletown police chief and four of his aids; Hjalmar Anderson, chairman of the shop committee at the Middletown plant, and other strike leaders.
 Charges that Rand had imported strike breakers were made recently at hearings before the national la bor relations board, which accused the corporation of wholesale viola tions" of the Wagner act and ord- cred the reinstatement of 4000 em- ployes at it's various plants.
 The boards decision said that Remington Rand had exhibited a callous inperturbable disregard of the rights of the employees that is medieval in its assumption of power over lives of men and shocking in its conception of the status of the modern industrial worker

STEPHEN RILEY
 DEATH FINDING
tcOntinuad frUn Page l.,

CContinuad frUm Page l1 evening, the deceased was walking southerly on Riverside Drive, in the Town of Naugatuck, near what is known as the Chemical Bridge. It was raining quite hard and the deceased wa5 walking in the middle of the road. At this time an auto- mobilt operated by Daniel c. Lee of Beacon Falls, was being driven northerly on Riverside Drive. Lee was a properly licensed operator of motor vehicles. When he reached point near what is known as the Chemical Bridge, he saw the de- ceased in the road and turned his car to the right and into the bank to avoid hitting him. In turning, however, the car Skidded and the left rear fender struck the deceased, throwing himto the roadway and injuring him so severely that he died on the 22nd of March, 1o37, at 9:20 D. m.
 Exercised No Care
 The deceased exercised little re- gard for his own safety in walking in the center of such heavily trav- eled highway at night and under the condition; then and there exist ing. Lee was travelling at reason- able rate of speed and did all that he reasonably could to avoid strik- ing the deceased. A car that was ahead of Lee narrowly missed strik- ing the deceased.
 I find that the death of the said Stephen Riley was due to frac- tura of the skull sustained in the manner heretofore described, but that said death was not due to the criminal negligence of the said Danlel c. Lee.

RAISING FUND TO
 DEFEND IRWIN

New York. April l3.-(UP)- Friends of Robert Irwin were re- ported today to be trying to raise a defense fund before surrendering the former insane asylum inmate to police who accused him of slay- ing Veronica Gedeon, her mother and lodger at their home.
 Police officials said they were convinced Irwin had been enabled to elude investigators by funds secretly supplied him by associates.
 A disagreement between police and prosecuting officials on whether to indict Irwin also was reported to be delaying possible negotiations for his surrender.

 Remington Rand Case
 Remington Rand workers, who were to vote this week on accept ance of company settlement plan, were hopeful of immediate adjust ment of the 11-months's strike. Union Counsel Vincent J. Scampor- ino announced 'The fact that the case is now before the Circuit Court of Appeals for enforcement does not operate as a stay of the boards order unless specifically ordered by the court as provided for in the Na- tional Labor Relations Act :. there is no apparent reason for the com pany to delay any further in rehir- ing and placing back to work the 900 strikers at Middletown as well as the $500 at Syracuse, Ilion and Tonowanda in New York, and Nor wood, Ohio"
 Groton Strike Peace
 President Harry L. Bowman of the Industrial Union of Marine and Ship-bliuding Workers of America, said he looked for "early settlement of the Groton strike. An election under NLRB supervision, was con- sidered probable to determine wheth- CT a company union or the c. l. O. would represent employees in collec- tive bargaining. The strike occurred Feb. g and resulted in arrest of 112 on trespassing charges. All were fined 8 and costs. Many appealed but later withdrew their cases.

Watertown. A medical examiners finding said that his death was caused by injuries inflicted in Q severe beating.
 He Started Trouble
 According to Deputy Coroner Smyth's finding, Maxwell started the trouble at Bruneau's by walk ing over to a table where Watts and a party of friends were seated and demanding that he be intro duced to one of the girls. A fist fight ensued. Later. witnesses said that Maxwell attacked Watts out- side the restaurant and knocked him down.
 As soon as MT. Smyth's finding had been turned down, Maxwell was presented in city court, with Prosecutor Mitchell Meyers charg- ing him witt murder. He waived examination and was bound over

plated by the imperative require ment that Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of the press"
 Hughes opinion placed no small emphasis on difference between the legal approach adopted by congress in the Wagner act and that of the outlawed NRA and Guffey coal con- trol act. This difference and the emphasis placed upon it by Hughes aroused belief that re-reading of the MIRA and Guffey opinions in light of the Wagner decision might point the legal pathway toward a new federal experiment in MIRA type legislation.
 Watching President
 Washington, April 13.-(UP)-. Congress turned to President Roose- welt today for a decision whether he would compromise, withdraw or press for enacment of his supreme court reorganization program. The high tribunals approval of the national labor relations act en- couraged congressional advocates of compromise in attempts to restore party harmony within an admins trat.on split by nine weeks of con- troversy over the judiciary bill. It aroused, too, persistent reports th-t administration forces in con- gress- probably without president ia, approval--had indicated readi- ness to accept qualifications inyol- wing reduction of the proposed number of new justices from six to two.
 Both Sides Dispute
 Trienos and foes of the court measure disputed whether the labor act decisions had weakened or strengthened their ranks. Senate opposit' on leaders said they had gained enough votes to toss the bill out the window" But there appeared to be no doubt that senti- ment had veered toword compro- mise. Attorney General Homer s. Cummings said that flor more req sons than ono" the supreme courts decisions show the soundness and wisdom of the presidents plan."
 Cummings Says "Ho0ey"
 After comforting at the White House, Cummings was asked about statement that Mir. Roosevelt would withdraw his program. "Is there such a word in the English langu- age as hooey?" he asked in reply. Two immediate developments marked the controversy as public l. arings on the bill were resumed before the senate judiciary com Enaittee. S-9

 The five headed by Chief Justice Hughes contended freedom of the press was not infringed by the pro- nibitions of the Wagner act.
 | Justice Sutherland, expressing the views of the minority declared: "A little water, trickling here and there through dam is small mat ter in itself; but it may be sinister menace to the security of the dam, which those living in the valley be- low will do well to heed.
 "The destruction or abridgement of a free press would be an event so evil in its consequences that the least approach toward that end should be halted at the threshhold.
 If freedom of the press does not include the right to adopt and pur- sue policy without governmental restriction, 1t is misnomer to call 1t freedom.

unbroken series. Only the Yale
Princeton series runs longer without
a break
there was one break on the Mime
sota-Wisconsin series; but it was truly
technical. 1t occurred in 1906. That
was the year in which a wave of
reform was launched against football
and most of the college teams can
celled or reduced their schedules.
The game had become too rough.
Mass play had caused too many in
juries. That year would have marked
the death of the game if President
Theodore Roosevelt had not asserted
himself
He issued proclamation admitting
that the game had become too dan
gerous for college boys but that it
was too good a game to lose. He
called a conference of coaches and
educators to see what could be DONE
Out of that and subsequent confer
ences came the forward pass and the
rule requiring teams to make 10
ydl 10 III lOul OOWIlS lIlSledO OI uV6
yards in three downs in order to be
credited with a first down.
These two and other minor changes
broke up mass formations Threw
the game open. Made it a contest
of speed, with running, passing and
kicking, instead of game of head-on
collisions.
Thus President Roosevelt must be
credited with saving the game which
has since become our greatest college
sport-the greatest college sport in
the world
Well, in that year Minnesota and
Wisconsin did play but it can hardly
be said the sequence was broken be-
cause it was a year in which very
little football was played anywhere
For practical purposes, therefore
we may say the Badgers and the
Gophers have played every year since
1890, that it is the oldest sustained
rivalry in the west No two college
teams have played together so often
excepting Yale and Princeton.
Through the long years of the rival
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1937-11-18

ny Minnesota has had the upper hand.
The Gophers won the first four games,
lost six out of the next eight, then
pulled ahead again and stayed ahead.
Since the departure of Dr. H. L.
Williams, that is under the coaching
of Spaulding, Spears, Crisler and
Bierman, Minnesota has won nine
games, tied three and lost three.
Bierman's record against Wiscon-
sin is four victories and one defeat.
This year Minnesota is strongly
favored but a peculiar point about
the Minnesota Wisconsin series is
that it has a higher percentage of
upsetS than any series in the west.
The fighting is so terrific when
these teams meet that mere physical
effort rather than high polish and
mechanical skill usually determines
the winner. The boys get out there
and fight and the team that feels
more like fighting is just as likely
to win as the team that knows more
about football
1t will be the last game of their
college careers for many brilliant
Minnesota player Captain Ray King
will be saying Goodbye" to football.
So will Dwight Reed, the left end,
Lou Midler and Bob Hoel, tackles,
Bob Weld, truly an all-western guard,
Sam Riley, a good reserve guard, Vic
Spadaccini, quarterback and fullback,
Rudy Gmitro, probably the most val
liable player on the 1887 team, Frank
Warner, a fine reserve end, Harold
Wrightson, reserve fullback and Bill
Matheny, high spirited and popular
little halfback, the fastest man on the
squad.
These will be heavy losses but the
boys will be determined to leave
something behind for the enemy to
remember them by. They will play
their hardest football in their fare
