Washington, Nov. 21-( -(UP)-Jew- ish leaders asked the American Jewry today to levy upon itself a voluntary finey of $100,OOO,0O0 for resettlement of Jews in Germany The proposal was made by Rabbi Edward L. Israel of Baltimore at a one-day emergency conference of the seaboard region of the United Palestine Appeal. He suggested that the $1OO,000,000 would contract the $400, ,000, 900 stolen from the Jews of Germany by the Nazi regime" and would create opportunities for Jews now languishing in no-man's land in central Europe"
 The conference climaxed a week. end of efforts in behalf of minori- ties. Saturday. one of this country's most distinguished Jews, Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis, dis cussed the refugee problem with President Roosevelt. It was another of Brandeis' rare public appearances --the second this fall precipitated by his concern for members of his Trace.
 Sen. King, D., Utah, speaking at the Palestine conference yesterday, denounced the "sadistic" anti -Sem- itis policy of Germany and urged the QUniUted States and Great Britain jointly to promote mass set- clement of Jewish refugees in Pal Iestine.

house committee Investigating un- American activities, announced that he would introduce bill to con- gress legalizing the exchange of dis contented elements in this country for groups of oppressed minorities ill Europe. Dies plan would establish a federal transfer agency to negoti- ate property exchanges SO that the traded" groups would not be penni- less when they arrive in their new homes. He specifically named Nazis, Fascists and Communists as "mal- contents" who would be exchanged regardless of whether they were American citizens. "One oppressed refugee is worth two of these dis gruntled Americans" he said.
 Over the weekend his committee received testimony from John c. Metcalfe, an investigator, that a rising tide of anti-Semitism is sweeping the United States, and that it was being abetted by 1855 Fascist anti-racial and anti-religious organizations. He did not indicate what action, If any, his committee planned. Kings endorsement of the Palestine plan was interpreted in some quarters as indication that congress would not approve relax aticn of immigration quotas permit ting refugees to enter this country, Strong oppositions to such a plan has been indicated by several infiu- ential congressman.

CONTROL OFFICE MAY BE
 DISAPPOINTED $7,737.l7 Alleged Due By Local Lawyers Have
 Been Dwindling BUT. ATTORNEYS MAY
 COLLECT FROM CITY City Court Seems. to Have Been Collecting More Than Really Was Due

Contrary to expectations of the controllers office em- ployes who, some weeks ago, presented a list of indebted ness" of numerous prominent lawyers of Waterbury and elsewhere to the city court of Waterbury, there isn't going to be any $7,737.17 paid to the city, as per the controllers recommendation.
 In fact, as the claims were being received today for the inn proper over-payments made by the lawyers over a period of paying su- perior court fees for city court en- tries and judgments during the last 20-odd years, it appeared that the city might collect $50 cash-possibly.
 On the other hand, when and if the lawyers get around to 1t, and some have said that this will be the case, the city stands to have claims aggregating a flexible amount, some estimating it at $10OOO, others at double the figure, presented as legal liabilities for the over-payment.
 Paid More Than Legal
 Seems that the city court. by pre- cedent of 20 years ago, had been charging superior court costs, $5 and $7 for entry fees in some cases, those involving less than $100 and

Southbury Woman's Case to Come Up Again Here
 on Wednesday

Failure of Mrs. Elsie Hinman Lewis Denny of Southbury and New York to carry out the terms of an agreement to settle a civil action brought against her by Attorney Herman Weisman of Waterbury, will cause Judge Earnest c. Simp- son to again consider the case in superior court Wednesday morning.
 Mrs. Denny appeared here Octo- Der 13 and agreed to pay $268.24 in settlement of the action which is based on a bill for legal services in Mrs. Denny's $500,000 alienation of affections suit against Dorothy White of Greenwich.
 Suit Was For $1,0O0
 The WeiSman suit was for $1,000. It was agreed that $500 has already been paid. When Judge Simpson continued the case from October 13, it was with the understanding that Mrs. Denny was to pay the agreed amount by November 13, or judgment would be entered on the note, in favor of Attorney Weis- man. Attorney WeiSman has claimed the case for hearing We'd nesday because of the failure of Mrs. Denny to pay.

 Vatican City, Nov. 21-CUP)-The United Press learns that Pope Plus has changed a great deal since his recent illness. He has lost much weight, but feels well. He is less stern and formal.
 The Pontiff was critically i'll for months. Due to varicose veins it was almost impossible for him to move his legs. When he began to recover, he went to the papal sum- mer residence at Castle Gandolfo for a period of recuperatino and only recently returned to the Vati- can.
 He lost much weight during his illness. The exact amount is un- certain because the Pope declines to be weighed. His clothes fit loosely now, and Vatican functionaries on several occasions have suggested that he have no ones made. He re- marked to one aide that he pre- ferred the clothing he now has be- cause, althought large, it is more comfortable.
 Attitude Changed
 His attintude toward officials at the Vatican also has undergone & change. In the past he was known as stern and formal-something of a task-master. Sometimes he spoke sharply when he felt that work had not been done properly. He worked long hours himself. He never com plained of ailments and discouraged complaints by others.
 Since his illness, the Pontiff has

 United Press Staff CorrespondentD
 Berlin, Nov. 21.-UP) Relations between Nazi Ger many and the Catholic church were subjected to a new strain today as the gov- ernment began independent efforts to find homes for Ger man Jews abroad. Bishop Konrad Won Preysing urged in a pastoral letter that Catholics repel NaM efforts to win children away from the church.
 The letter was read from pulpits in all churches of his diocese. It protested against action seeking to induce Catholic parents to send their children to confessional instead of confessional schools. The pastoral letter said that letters had been sent to Catholic parents with children nearing school age. These letters urged the parent to sign an agreement to send the children to non confessional schools.
 The parents were reminded by Bishop Preysing of their right under the Concordat with the Vatican, to insist that their children receive edu- cation in Catholic schools.
 It exhorted them not to give up their claims and reminded them of their responsibility for their chill dren's education.
 Germany to Aid Refugees
 From a well-informed private quarter it was learned that Ger many had been negotiating with sey- eral Central and South American countries for admission of large numbers of German Jews.
 Favorable progress was reported especially with the Dominican Re. publica. The Dominican minister it was learned, left for Munich pos sibly to confer with Fuehrer Adol1 Hitler who is now at Berchtesgaden

concerned by the condition which will result from the lengthy conspir- acy trial in superior court. With the one trial expected to be in ses- sion for more than three months, there will be no possibility of regu- lar trials of civil and criminal mat ters, unless extraordinary measures are taken.
 Knows Situation
 Chief Justice Maltbie has ac- quainted himself thoroughly with the situation by telephonic com- munications with Judge Earnest c. Simpson, Judge Ernest A. Inglis and other officials of the Superior Court. He has planned 8 personal visit to the Waterbury court house. but said today that this was made unnecessary by his communication. The Superior Court or Common Pleas Court would undoubtedly re- ceive wholehearted cooperation in any application for use of the City Court chambers for regular sessions during the conspiracy trial.
 May Assign Another Judge
 
 the details in complete form as yet, Chief Justice Maltbie today ex- pressed the hope of assigning an- other judge here for regular court matters while the lengthy munich pal case is in session.
 Common Pleas Court would not be directly affected by the length of trial in Superior Court, but Judges Edward J. Finn sand Miles F. McNiff have promised whole hearted cooperation.
 Common Pleas In City Court It has been suggested that per- haps sessions of Common Pleas Court could be held in City Court, thus leaving the regular Common Pleas chambers (on the first floor of the county building) for ordi- nary Superior Court sessions.
 This week will undoubtedly be the final for trial of ordinary cases In the regular Superior Court room until the completion of the con- spiracy trial. Court will only be in session tomorrow and Wednesday, because of the Thanksgiving hoh- day. No short calendar session will be held Friday.

Rev. Chas. E. Coughlin Makes Attack On Nazis
Persecution of Jews Was Assailed By Priest-After His Address Radio Station Took Exception to
 Issue of His Remarks

Detroit, Nev. 21-UP)-Persecu- ton of Jews in Germany may be traced back to the early days of the Hitler regime when the Nazis wag- ed war on Communism, the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin declared in his Sunday radio sermon yesterday.
 "It is the belief of the present German government that Jews-not as religioniSts but as nationals only were responsible for the economic and social ills suffered by the Fath- erland since the signing of the Versailles treaty." he said.
 'Imbued with this idea, a group of rebel Germans under Adolf Hit Ter organized for two purposes. First, to overthrow the existing Ger man government under whose juris- diction Communism was waxing strong, and second, to rid the Fatherland of Communists whose leaders, unfortunately, they identi- fled with the Jewish race.
 Conception of Nazism
 "Thus, Nazism was conceived as political defense mechanism against Communism and was uSh- cred into existence as a result of c Communism. And, Communism it. self was regarded by the rising gen. erations as product not of Russia, but group of Jews who dominated the destinies of Russia"
 Tracing growth of German feel ing against Jews, the priest said it increased greatly in 1885 when the official disclosure made mani-

Cardinal O'Connell Makes Attack On. Nazi Atrocities

Boston, Nov. 21-(UP)-Heartened by the support of William Cardinal O'Connell, dean of the American Catholic hierarchy, and leaders of other faiths, Jews of metropolitan Boston continued three-day period of mourning for their persecuted German brethren today.
 The mourning period opened with joint services sponsored by the Greater Boston Rabbinical associa- tion and attended by 5000 worship pers at Temple Mishkan Tef1la yes- terday. Services will continue today and tomorrow at synagogues throughout the district.
 Cardinal O'Connell, archbishop of Boston, told the Federation of College Catholic clubs yesterday that Germany exemplifies intellectual ism gone mad" and is "in condi- ton of positive enslavement." He pictured a world in "a great mass of confusion, mentally, morally and spiritually. You don't have to be scholars to know that" he said. One of the strange phenomenons of my whole life and the most unex- pected is to find that a nation like Germany. which during the whole century was widely acknowledged at least among its intellectuals, as a happy, progressive nation. is now at this low ebb. Where is all this hard- earned reputation of learning gone? They are trying to put God out of his own church. It is insanity. Highly educated today, there's Ger many under the heel of little group that are trying to cast out

not only the Jews but God himself, and bring back the mythical, imag- inative Teuton. Did you ever hear of such insanity? This is intellect ualism gone mad"
 It was the cardinals second at tack upon Nazi Germany in two days. In message to Boston Jewry Friday he expressed sympathy for their German brethren who were suffering under dreadful scourge of hate" Jews attending the point services at Temple Mishkan Teflla prayed not only for peace, tolerance and brotherhood. but for the en- hghtenment and salvation of their prosecutors. Cardinal O'Connell's message of sympathy and a tele- gram from U. s. Senator David I, Walsh were read. "It should be a comfort for you to, know that all patriotic Americans are in sympathy with you," Walsh wired.
 U. s. Representative John w. Mo Cormack was introduced and pre- dicted that President Roosevelt would sever diplomatic relations and encourage economic reprisals' should the prosecutions continue ir Germany.
 The Rev. Norman B. Nash, presi. dent of the Massachusetts Fedora. ton of Churches, called Hitler s.thil Caesar who is demanding we Wor. ship him" and Dr. Frederick N.
