Sense of Sadness
WHEN you think of the men in the laboratories
" fighting deadly germs day in and day out
for the betterment Of the human race; when
you rush through the Hudson tunnels many
feet under the river and arrive in New York
and see those marvellous buildings standing
straight up in the air, it fills you with un-
bounded admiration. But you also have great
sense Of sadness to think that men toll and
strive for endless years to save humanity, con-
struct beautiful dream cities with their creative
minds and then turn around with the same re-
markable machine that God has given them,
their brain, and create forces to murder, destroy
and tear down the very things they have given
their lives to build.

the city. Each will be given an op- portunity to select the manner of trial desired.
 In connection with the attacks on the makeup of the information against the accused, Judge Inglis states: When it is borne in mind that the information charges in the main that all of the accused were parties to a single conspiracy and that all of the allegations of other specific acts are simply incidental to that main charge, it becomes ap- parent that the grounds of demurrer are not well taken"
 Conspiracy Not Barred
 Prosecution for conspiracy Is barred only after five years from the date that it ceased to operate" continues Judge Inglis. "It is there fore obvious that the conspiracy here charged is not barred by the statute of limitations"
 15 Filed Demurrers Only Is of the 27 accused filed demurrers to the information. Only 24 will be arraigned tomorrow be- cause two, Attorneys Charles Will iamson of Darien and Edward G.. Levy of New Haven have already entered not-guilty pleas-and Enoch E. Borgnaes is still fugitive from justice.
 In addition to Williamson and Levy, Harry Mackenzie of Bethel and Timothy Horgan of this city are the only ones who declined to take any defense measures whatsoever in pre- liminary to the arraignment.
 Claim of Coppetos
 Judge Inglis makes a special ref erence in his decision to the claim made by the two Coppetos and Pur- die, that the only charge against them is that they struck good bar gain with the city and that is no crime. "The fact is that they are charged with unlawfully conspiring with the other accused and that is a crime" says Judge Inglis.
 Allegations that the crimes charged were only misdemeanors, " as made by several defendants were answered by Judge Inglis: "The charge is that they were members of conspiracy and it is charged that the misdemeanofs were com- mitted in pursuance of that con- spiracy."
 Knowledge Claim
 One of the outstanding defense claims was that the accused had no knowledge that a conspiracy ex- isted. "If he was a member of the conspiracy it follows that he had knowledge of the fact that the acts which he did were being done in pursuance of that conspiracy" com- ments Judge Inglis. And all this is true whether the particular con- spirator was an original member of the conspiracy or joined 1t later"
 It was claimed that there is no connection alleged among the vari- ous groups. Judge Inglis points out however: "It is one single conspiracy which is charged"
 Not Concerned With Proof
 Judge Inglis says in ruling on a demurrer the court is not concerned with what the proof may be.
 Today's decisions by Judge Ignlis were in line with all previous de- cisions on preliminaries, which have

 and reception given them by Presi- dent LeBrun at his Elysee palace last night to mark the first day of their four day state visit. The king slept in the bed once used by Napo- leon; the queen in one that had be- longed to Marie Antoinette.
 Despite their late night the king and queen telephoned to London at 8 a. m. to talk to their little daugh- ters, Princesses Elizabeth and Mar garet Rose. Even by that time, all streets leading to the Champs Ely sees were damned with Parisians- school children who had played hockey and men and women who had remained away from their jobs.
 "The king brought his own fog along with him." some commented of the unseasonal haze which lay over the city.
 Tomb of Unknown Soldier
 King George, in the full dress uni form of field marshal of the British army, escorted by a mounted de- tachment of republican guards, drove through veritable hedge of French regulars to put his wreath on the Tomb of the Unknow Soldier.
 He rode in an open automobile. But protecting him were raised win dows of bullet proof glass.
 "Vive le roil" the crowds shouted in a roar that went the length of the Champs Elysee. to the Arc De Tri- omphe-built to commemorate the victories of Naponeon - beneath which the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier lies.
 The king saluted, placed his wreath on the tomb and saluted again. Then he walked around the Eternal Flame, and, after reviewing the guard drawn up in his honor, re- turned to his apartments in the for eign office on the Quai d'Orsay.
 With President and Mrs. LeBrun the king and queen embarked in a motor boat at the Quai dOrsay to go up the river, under the 300 year old Pont Neuf and past the Concier- gerie where Marie Antoinette was imprisoned until she was beheaded The river trip not only enabled the royal couple to see more of Paris but was a means of avoiding a long, slow drive through tortuous streets in any of which an assassin might turk.

Norwalk, Conn, July 20-(UP)- Captain Alexander Papana of the Rumanian air force today was forced to postpone transatlantic flight to Bucharest for at least month following landing accident at the local airport late yesterday.
 Papana's plane was damaged when 1t crashed into stone wall during landing. The planes flap pers refused to operate wher he came down, Papana said, causing the ship to go out of control. The un- der-carriage and propeller were damaged.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
 IN WASHINGTON

{ Harry Byrd or Senator Carter Glass has been appointed in Vir- ginia. One of Senator Pat McCar- ran's political enemies has been named U. s. district attorney in Nevada. The federal housing ad- ministrator for Maryland, who was in Senator Willard Tydings' pat ronage coop, has been fired.
 The four senators, anti-New Deal Democrats, are boiling with indignation at these snubs, which they allege are instances of Roose- velt,s retaliation against his foes Similar instances may become frequent between now and 1940 but these alone call attention to certain significant facts:
 Big federal jobs, especially in the states, and including even theoretically sacred judgeships, are traditionally items of political pie and it's practically unheard of to appoint a federal judge or other official without endorsement by the senator or senators belonging to the right party and represent ing his district.
 For five years Democratic sem atOrs have had their own men appointed judges, district attOr- neys, postmasters, marshals, WPA administrators, and so on, and the administration has made little if any effort to discriminate in patronage between New Deal and anti-New Deal senators.
 The fact that federal machinery in most states is manned by partisans who owe their jobs tc incumbent senators presents req stumbling block when Roosevelt attempts to defeat Democratic conservatives who have opposed his measures.
 SENATOR'S
 FIGHT BACK
 Byrd and Glass will fight the confirmation of Judge Floyd Roberts of Bristol, Va, "on the ground among others, that the President disregarded their recommendations They know well that Roosevelt nominated Roberts in order to aic Governor Price of Virginia-whc has been breaking up the Byro political machine and probably will run as a New Dealer for Byrd's seat in 1940-and New Deal Con- gressman John w. Flanagan, Jr. of Bristol, both of whom endorsed Roberts.
 Similarly, McCarran knows that Roosevelt's refusal to reappoint the McCarran man who has
 served four years as U. s. district attorney in Nevada and his re- placement of that man by an anti McCarran Democrat were not &C., tions taken without consideration of strong primary opposition which McCarran faces this year from Roosevelt candidates. McCarran also gets the point of Roosevelt's refusal to appoint any of the three men he endorsed for the Civil Aeronautics Authority created by law which McCarran pushed through Congress.

board last night with resultant re- buke for the controllers office.
 Controller Mistaken
 The controller, sti1l assuming that the $8,000 was intended for truck hire, oblivious of the street super intendent's explanation that more than t4,000 of the amount was in- tended for payment of back bills the controllers office has not paid last night continued to contend that the "$8,000 should be used to pur- chase three trucks. He failed te recognize, board members re- marked, that more than half of the amount sought by transfer has been charged to other appropriations ir the sewer and street departmentt and that his accountant, Purcell had recommended to 6upt. Fleming the seeking of the 5000 transfer to adjust the matter.
 Sewer Dept. Trucks
 Sutp. Fleming estimated that the sewer department will require two IF ton trucks for B weeks at $1 an hour, or $2,300 and one 3-tor truck for the same period at $1.2t an hour for $1,437, a total of $3,737 He reported the rates the city is paying per hour and the rates the government has set for WPA jobi as follows:
 One and one-half ton trucks WPA, 1.25: city, $1: tWo-ton trucks WPA, $l.50; city, $1; 21s ton trucks WPA, $2; city, $125: 3h ton trucks WPA, $2.50; city, SIPS; 5-ton trucks WPA, $2.75: city $1.50; 6-ton trucks WPA, $6; city, $2; 7-ton trucks WPA, $50; city g.

Judge Alfred o. Baldwin granted G. Edward Kemp, indicted land agent, the right to inspect the jury minutes. He also granted States Attorney Loren w. Willis of Fair field county the right to appeal the case to the supreme court. Proceed ings in the Merritt parkway trials are abated by the pendency of the supreme court hearing on that ap- peal.
 Judge Baldwin Unmenti0ned Judge Inglis, in his decision on the motions for inspection of the jury's minutes, did not specifically mention the decision of Judge Baldwin.
 He did, however, point out the difference between indictments as issued by the grand jury (such as was done in the Merritt easel, and the arrest of individuals on informa- ton, as was accomplished here.
 It is expected that at the ar- raignment of the accused tomorrow, some mention of the appeal will be made with regard to its effect on proceedings.
 Eight Questions The eight questions which Attor- ney Crawford seeks to have the su- preme court answer are as follows 1. Whether the court erred in holding that the testimony given before the grand jury as distin- guished from the deliberations and votes of the grand jury, is required by law to be kept in secrecy after the accused has been informed against and arrested.
 2. Whether the court erred in holding that it is the rule and po- Hey of the law to keep secret the testimony given before the grand jury after the grand jury itself has, through the medium of a volumin- ous report, made public substan- tial part of such evidence, and also has made public the action of the grand jury on said evidence through the subscription to said re- port of the individual names of the grand jurors. 3.

EXPECT 0. K.
OF PWA GRANT
Oh Elections of PWA Officials to
Project for School Are
Cleared Up.

The tangled situation that caused
PWA officials to reject the local school
boards request for grant OF about
$4,000 has finally been Strengthened
out, and school officials are expecting
momentarily to receive word that the
project, which includes new seats for
the Washington auditorium and lights
and bleachers on the football field has
been approved.
The board adopted resolution at a
meeting held Monday night authorizing
the treasurer to earmark $4,000 for the
sponsors share of the project.
The PWA had rejected the request
for funds on the grounds that no cleo
ton had been held here-which wasn't
necessary-and that no funds were i'm
mediately available. The money has
now been earmarked and the authori-
ties notified that no election is re-
quired, so their objections have been
met.
The total expenditure for the project
calls for about $4,000 and this was not
the amount of the grant asked from
PWA, as recently reported by the
Miner. PWA provides for As per cent
of the total expense, while the schoo,
district furnishes SIS per cent.
