Admirers Of Spanish LoyaIists Arrested
 On Gambling Charge
Exclusive Group Compared to Prominent Social Clubs; Members Play Cards, Drink Little Red Wine For
 Pleasure Campaign Funds

Today Judge Edward Mascolo iil city court heard evidence against IT accused of frequenting .garn- bling house, the rooming house pro- prietor, John Mas, 35, 175 South Main street, was charged with Sell- ing liquor without a permit.
 Prosecuting Attorney Frank T. Healey presented the arreSting of- ficers, Lieutenants Patrick Moylan Ernest Pakul, and Patrolman Joseph Cavanaugh, who raided the South Main street house Saturday night.
 Attorney Frederick c. Bauby of- fered in evidence a framed charter of the International Antifascist Solidarity, which was the English version of the name of the society bearing the title, locally, of Local 20 Waterbury, s. I. A. The members are friends of the loyalist govern ment in Spain, send contributions to their compatriots who are wagine war against fascism.
 The officers testified to the pres- ence of liquor in the kitchen adja- cent to the dining room where the card game was in progress.
 What. was red wine doing on ice?" Judge MaScolo asked Senor Mas, on the witness stand. Tt ought to be kept at room temperature"
 Sometimes they just cool it of, explained Attorney Bauby.
 Tha sala nf Iin,,nr aaatnf ..yas ,a,,t on ice by the judge.
 The judge asked witnesses wheth- CT they had regular meetings, a meeting place, for their anti-fascist gatherings and card games. He was told they met Saturday nights al the boarding house where seven members lived.
 'It's not different from the situa- ton at the Waterbury club" expost- ulated Attorney Bauby. "On Satur- day nights there members play cards, probably with an incentive. They don't play for nothing. These men had no meeting hall. There were no outsiders. They kept to themselves.
 Judge Mascolo Agreed
 "The members of this society are no different from those of other so- cieties in Waterbury" he concluded. They only lack luxurious surround ings. I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt on the gambl- ing charge and discharge them"
 Seventeen members of the Solida. ridad International Antifascists filed out of the courtroom anc meetings are expected to resume al of Saturday night.
 Those arraigned besides Senor Mas were: Frank Fehow, 3o; John Suarez, 34; and Jose Cara, 3s all of 175 South Main street; Jose AL varez. 36. of l85 Union street; Jo- seph Peresvives, 35, of Scovill street Philip Wives, 45, of 60 Jefferson street, Jose Alves, 2s, of 633 South Main street; Manuel Perez, 43, oi 42 Sheffield street Jose Salez, B. of ITS South Main street; Vincent Romero. 5l, of l99 South Main street.
