 Public All Changes
By GEORGE R. MORRIS. JR.


 United Press Stan Correspondent Hartford, Conn, March 24.--(UP) The republican house majority clarified its stand today on govern mental reorganizat Lion and was pre- pared to revamp a portion of the program regarded as not in con formity with party policy.
 Support was recommended prin- cipally for the optional district court bill which would retain the present town judicial system, permit adjoin- ing communities to affiliate them- selves with chartered tribunals, or set up chartered courts of their own to replace justice courts.
 The party program was explained to house. members by Majority Leader Noah Swayre, Darien, at a conference late yesterday.

FACING
 EARNEST CRISIS
Even More Serious Than in l935 MussOlini
 Cannot Forget Past
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE

United Press Cable EdltOr)
 A crisis even graver than the one threatened by the Ethiopian war in 1885 confronted Europe today.
 Mussolini is enraged by the turn of events. The Spanish Loyalist government is meditating an ap- peal to the League of Nations. That would force Q meeting of the coun- cil. Mussolini. still smarting under the sanctions imposed by that tri- bunal during the Ethiopian war would react in a way that might prove disastrous to European rela- tions.
 NIussolini Determined
 Into his speech yesterday in which he said the Italian people never would forget sanctions-that he would not let them--can be read a threat that he will take de- cisive action if the League and the powers back of it step into the Spanish situation.
 Such action presumably would be his denunciation of the rlon-inter- vention agreement and the dispatch of thousands of more troops to Spain to ensure the victory of the Rebels.
 The reverses suffered by the Ital- ians at Guadalajara have stung Mussolini, and the French have rubbed salt into his hurts by mur- muring in an audible aside that the vaunted Italian military machine after all is not what 1t has been cracked up to be.
 Thus. the possible loss of dicta- torial prestige is an important fac tor in the crisis.
 Situation Serious
 The seriousness of the situation is emphasized by authentic word from Paris that Mussolini has called in his ambassadors from various Flu

JOE DeBEER TO
GET SEEING EYE
Former Resident, Who Is Blind,
VIII Have Trained Dog To
Lead Him About

Blind, courageous Joe DeBeer is
to have a seeing eye"-one OF
those wonderfully trained dogs
and he's to have the first one west
of Chicago.
Mr.. DeBeer and his wife, the for
mer Lucille Rasmussen, of Mime
apolis, were former residents OF
this city, and the announcement
that was made this week OF Mr..
DeBeer's good fortune is cause for
Joy to their friends in Sank Gen.
ire.
Blinded since he was 10, Mr.. De-
Beer is to leave soon for New Jer-
sey, unaccompanied, where he will
spend a month acquainting himself
with the dog who is to become his
constant companion. These dogs
are especially trained to accompany
blind persons at all times, elimin-
ating the necessity for human &C
compartment. AS thoroughly train
ed as the dogs are the blind per-
sons, and Mr.. DeBeer will learn
lust how to handle his dog. One of
the stipuIations is that only he can
feed the dog.
Coming to this country from his
home in Holland, Mr.. DeBeer
worked on farms in this country
until his blindness. One day when
he was nineteen he labored in the
fields under the heat of the sun.
Overheated he went swimming and
the shock of the cold water is said
to be responsible for killing the OPP
teal nerve Rendered completely
blind, he never returned to Hol-
land. He didn't want to burden his
parents. He is the only one Of his
family in this country. Despite
what most of us call an affliction,
Mr.. DeBeer is said by friends new
er to be respondent but radiates a
happy personality. In Minneapolis
he even worked in a store where
the prices were marked in Braille.
Today he is working for the In
stitute for the Blind, actively en-
gagged in a good will program. Up
on his return from New Jersey
Joe DeBeer will rely entirely upon
his dog for sight.

ELECTRIC EYE

Sank Centre has an electric
eye" a new device installed by the
State Highway department to
check cars on the highways. This
new device has been erected on
Highway 81, at the bottom Of Ho-
boken hill, near the Phillips service
station. Electrically operated it
checks all cars as they pass be
tween a ray of light. The shadow
of the car as it rolls along causes
the machine to swing into action
and the counter moves up one
number. This machine was install
ed last fall, and there are twenty
four similar machines which will
be installed during this year. This
new device operates in similar
manner to the electric eye," which
was shown at the Stearns County
Fair last year.
