Boston, May 2-(UP)-Appear- ance of two red flags on Boston Common Mall during patriotic mass meeting at nearby Parkman bandstand caused an incipient riot yesterday.

WORKERS TRY TO. FREE EMPLOYER.
Manufacturer Was Con= victed of Contempt of
 Court; Went to Jail

Clinton, Mass, May 2-(UP)-A CIO delegation will leave for Wash ington this week to seek presiden- tial pardon for their employer, sen- fenced to jail for three months for contempt of court.
 The group, members of the Doll and Toy Workers union, contend that imprisonment of Ralph A. Freundlich, owner and president of the doll factory bearing his name, will force the plant to close and throw 500 persons out of work.
 "Freundlich assumes personal di- rection of his business and he is in close touch with all its details" said Harold Sontag, president of the union. we believe we can make the president see the urgency of our case"
 Besides a petition bearing the name of every worker in the fac- tory, the delegation will carry let ter from the Clinton selectmen and the Chamber of Commerce and will ask John L. Lewis, CIO chairman, to exert his influence to obtain an early audience with MT. Roosevelt.
 Freundlich was convicted six months ago in New York federal court of infringing a patent held by the manufacturers of the Betty Boop doll and was ordered to open his records for examination so that the court could assess damages.
 When the records were produced counsel for the plaintiffs charged they had been falsified. Freundlich was fined $l,000 and sentenced to three months in jail. The court de- nied Freundlich's appeal and or dered him committed May 10.

NAVAL BILL WILL
 BE BRUSHED AHEAD

Washington, May 2-(UP)--Ad- ministration leaders hurried Presi- dent Roosevelt $1,156, ,0OO 900 Naval Expansion Bill toward pas sage today under limited debate in the Senate.
 A final vote may come late today or certainly tomorrow. The bill aut- horiZes the construction of battle ships totaling 5000 tons and 43 other combat ships in a 10-year building program.
 Under an agreement obtained by majority leader Alden w. Barkley, D., Ky, no senator may speak more than once nor more than 20 minutes on the bill, and not more than once for 10 minutes on any amendment.
 The storm center of opposition to the bill has been the authorization for tonnage sufficient for construc- ton of three 45,000-ton battleships.
 The Bipartisan opposition bloc has attacked the increase in ton- mage voted by the senate naval af- fairs committee, contending that construction of 45,00O ton vessels would place the United States in the leadership of new world arma- ment race.
 Chairman David I. Walsh, D., Mass, has contended that it would permit the Navy to keep pace with the building program of any large power.

Special to The Demo,rat)

Washington, May - Principal stumbling block to participation of Waterbury in the National Housing Authority's low-cost housing funds may be eliminated if certain meas ures now in committee reach favor able report to the Congress, Water- bury, 1t is understood, is unable to meet the requirements of paying part cost at this time.
 Elimination of the provision re- quiring that local housing authori- ties contribute 10 cent of the project cost, which proposal as an amendment to the housing act is now before the house committee on banking and currency will do away with the principle obstacle delaying housing projects in Connecticut, Congressman Herman P. Kopple- mann of Connecticut, member of the committee said today The congress- man questioned Nathan Straus. ad- ministrator of the housing authority closely on this point when the lat ter appeared as witness before the committee few days ago.
 Kopplemann recalled today that when the original housing act was before his committee some months ago, he expressed the fear that the requirement. of 10 per cent local contribution would frustrate com- munities in Connecticut wishing to undertake housing projects. "Muni- cipalities whose administrations were opposed to low cost housing projects designed under this law would use this requirement. as an excuse for not undertaking a pro- ject," he said.
 Moreover, the Enabling Act in Connecticut he added. contains joker in that it prohibits the sale of bonds of a local Housing Author ity to anyone other than the federal government. This, in effect, would require a 100 per cent contribution by the federal government for projects in Connecticut if the 10 per cent local contribution were to be met through the sale of bonds of local Housing Authority"
 Kopplemann expressed himself as gratified that the United States Housing Authority is now recom- mending the elimination of a 10 per cent local contribution, which

NOVELIST MANN
 TO BE CITIZEN
His Native Germany Threw Him Down; Recognized
 as Genius

leveland, May 2-(UP)-Thomas Mann, recognized throughout the world except in his native Germany as one of the greatest living novel, ists, announced today that he would apply for United States citizenship this week. He will go to Toronto, Ont. for a lecture and will re-enter the United States under the German quota. Arriving in New York Friday, he will make the application there. When Adolph Hitler came to power in Germany in 1884 and the Nazi persecution of Jews began, Mann went into voluntarily exile although he is an Aryan. His decision then was: "If to be more German means to be less human, I can make only one choice"
 He never returned to Germany. The Nazis seized his home near Munich and revoked his citizenship. He has been travelling since on a passport of Czechoslovakia, which he called "A True Democracy"
 Testimonial Dinner
 His clothes and general appearance are those of an American business man. He is slender, with strong fea- lures and a closely cropped mus tache, quiet orderly in his manner isms and moderately liberal in his political beliefs. At testimonial dinner for him in 1884, there were such figures as Nicholas Murray Butler, Owen D. Young, Thomas w. Lamont, William Allen White and Sinclair Lewis.
 In 1929 Mann won the nobel prize for literature. His best known novels are Budderbrooks, which first brought him fame in 1901; the magic mountain, Joseph and his brothers and Joseph in Egypt. The latter two based on the bibicalstory.
 All his books are banned in Ger many and he is called an enemy of the Nazi regime. In lecture tours of the United States he has attacked the Nazis bitterly, while protesting love for his country. He has said: Those people who had overrun Germany for the time being, can't make me any less 8 German"

NURSE ADMITS
 DEATH OF BABY
duplicates Boston Electric Light Co. Offcial-BOth
 Under Arrest

Lowell Mass, May 2-(UP)-An unmarried nurse and a Boston cleo tric light official were both charged today with crimes punishable by death in the electric chair, after discovery of the body of newborn infant in the cellar of the young woman's former home in Billerica.
 Miss Margaret Claff1e, 26, formerly attached to Worcester State hospi- tai, admitted, police said, that she was the mother of the baby but in- sisted that the child was born dead. She was charged with murder and as result of her story. police later seized Harry Markus, 54, who lives with his wife in Roxbury, and charged him with being an accessory before and after the fact.
 Parents Questioned
 Not until she was confronted with her elderly parents as they were being questioned at Lowell po- lice headquarters did Miss Claffle tearfully relate her story. Police quoted her as saying that she first met Markus when he invited her for an automobile ride while she was walking on Huntington avenue, Boston. Later in February 1884, she left Boston City hospital, to which she had been transferred from Worcester, and went to live at her parents home in Billerica. Her par ents were shopping and she was alone in the house when the baby was born, she said. She believed the infant was born dead, she said but added that she was careful to do nothing which would tend to keep it alive.
 duplicates Markus
 Miss Claffiie at first insisted that she had buried the baby without as- sistance week after its birth but later, police said. she admitted that Markus had come to the Billarica house by arrangement and assisted her in the burial. Police said Markus admitted having known the young woman but denied being at or near the house when the baby was born and buried. Though Miss Claffiie said the baby was born Oct. 6, 1884, a medical examiner reported that the child had been dead not more than a year.

Housing Amendment

Measure Pending in Congress to Eliminate lO9e
 Project Cost-City Mentioned in Dispatch

he expects will meet the approval of his committee. Adoption of the amendment by Congress will clear the way for several projects which are now under consideration for Connecticut. Amendment to the Connecticut Enabling Act to permit the sale of bonds of local Housing Authority to others than the federal government could not be taken up until the next regular session Of the Connecticut Legislature in 1889. Congressman Kopplemann pointed out that amendment to the federal law, eliminatin the 10 per cent local contribution would clear this obstacle immediately.
 So far, he said, Bridgeport is the only city in Connecticut for which funds have been earmarked in the amount of $6,500,000. Progress of the project is being delayed because of Bridgeport's difficulty in raising the 10 per cent local contribution. The city proposes to furnish the streets, and other services, the cost or sewers, architectural, engineering which is to be repaid to the city out of the revenues of the project. However, all these items combined do not total the required 10 per cent local participation and Bridgeport is now endeavorlng to provide the balance of the 10 per cent in the form of cash.
 MT. Kopplemann said that Hous- ing projects are under. consideration also for Waterbury and Norwalk. In the case of the former, a Housing the city has been unable to raise Authority has been established but the 10 per cent contribution. A similar situation exists in Norwalk. While no Housing Authority has been established in Hartford, there is a good deal of favorable senti- ment for it's creation and a conse- quent housing project. Kopplemarn feels that all this could be facili- tated by the elimination of the 10 per cent local contribution require ment.
 Congressman Kopplemann report ed that he was informed by Ad- Nathan StrauS that all of the Housing Authorities Tor whom funds have been earlnarksd have been proceeding with their plans for the development of these
