FRANCE SHOWS
 SOLDIER POWER
50,O0O Sons of Veterans, Who Fought at Verdun
 Parade For King
BY RALPH HEINZEN United Press Staff CorrcspOndent)

Paris, July 2l. - CUP) - France gave King George VI vivid picture of her military might today, to back up her demonstration of friendship and her expression of willingness to cooperate in the problems of Euro pean diplomacy.
 Fifty thousand soldiers, sons of the men who at Verdun immortalized the pharse "They shall not pass, , paraded in the kings honor up the broad Avenue De Paris at Versailles.
 It was the biggest military process sion in France since the victory parade after the World War. It was the biggest ever accorded the head of a foreign state, and it matched in it's impressiveness the gigantic ris- plays which the totalitarian coun- tries have made familiar.
 Czech Problem Discussed
 Premier Edouard Daladier, Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet, Viscount Halifax, British foreign secretary, and Sir Alexander Cadogan, British permanent foreign under-secretary had discussed Adolf Hitler's pro- posals for settlement of the Czecho- slovak minority problem, the most dangerous political situation of the day. France had agreed to press Czechoslovakia, her ally, to hasten delivery of the text of proposed minorities statute to Konrad Hen

First Time Since 32 That This Has Happened;
 Governor Cross Pleased

Hartford, Conn.,, July 21.-(UP)- Gov. Wilbur L. Cross announced to- day that, for the first time since 1882, the state balanced its budget for the fiscal year ended last June 30.
 He reported a balance in the gen. eral fund of $630,029.96.
 T am particularly gratified," said the governor.
 This is the first time since 1892 that the general fund has shown a balance of receipts over expendi- lures during any fiscal year.
 The executive indicated worry over the condition of next years budget, when he said:
 "A reasonable estimate of the ex- pected receipts for the general fund during the next fiscal year indicates a considerable loss in income be- cause of business conditions during the first six months of this year.
 steps have been taken to curtail our expenditures in anticipation Of this probable loss of income in an effort to avoid deficiency for the present fiscal year."
 Coy. Cross reported that for the last llscal year, general fund receipts tot taled $24,530,2 ,272 IA. Expenditures were $23, ,893. .242.l8

 Los Angeles, July 21-UP)-The man who became hero overnight by "mistake"- discovered today how easy 1t would be to grow rich.
 All Douglas Corrigan needs to do is take part of the $15 surplus he has left from his aerial detour to Ireland and spend it for a foun- tain pen. The fellows with the con- tracts and the dotted lines are ready to do the rest.
 With cash offers still pouring into Dublin and into the modest Los Angeles home of his uncle, the Rev. S. Fraser Langford, no accurate estimate of the fortune awaiting him yet Is available, but a guess of $l00,000 would be conservative.

BY CHARLES J. MCDONNELL United Press Staff Correspondent

NOUltcu ETCSS OtdI OUETtSpUI1ucntD
 Dublin, July 21. - (UP) = Doug las Corrigan prepared today to part with the beloved $900 "crate" in which he flew the Atlantic "by mis. take".
 The plane was scheduled to be shipped home on the United States Maritime Commissions s. s. Lehigh. sailing from Northwall Quay in Dublin late today. So far as was known, Corrigan will not accompany 1t. Authorities gave him back his plane only on his promise that he would not try to fly home.
 The Lehigh will go to Belfast and Glasgow and from there to Balti- more.
 The unpredictable Corrigan ap- parently was prepared to depart tor home shortly, but was having good time here and still entertained Wist- full hopes of visiting London and perhaps meeting royalty.
 But he was not sure just what he would do. Nor was the world sure either since he turned up in Dublin after leaving New York's Floyd Bennett airport ostensibly for Los Angeles.
 There were reports around Bal donnel airport, where Corrigan landed Monday with the nonchalant announcement, T just came from New York;" that the nine-year-old "crate" would be exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution in Washing

Rowland, Backed By His Aide Purcell, Bemoaned
 Lack of Finances
CONTROLLER TRIES TO
 GRAB OTHERS CREDIT
Board of Finance w a s Ignored By Rowland in
 What Has Been Done

Contrary to his earlier con- tention, squelched by the Board of Finance about three months ago, Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland now finds that the city will not have to float temporary loans. In April, the controller backed by his aide, James P. Purcell, appeared. before the finance board on two occasions urg- ing that a temporary loan of about $300,000" be sought.
 Mayor Frank Hayes and the com- missioners explained to the control Ter that such procedure was needless inasmuch as tax payments would be available in time to prevent a fi- 11ancial emergency from threaten ing the controller. The latter said that he was nervous about city af- fairs, that there was only about $300,000 in the city treasury at the time and that he might not be able to meet payrolls."
 Points With Pride CD
 By specially-devised publicity, Controller Rowland now singles out his error of April by pointing with pride to the probability that no tenn porary loans will be necessary. He takes credit for paying of the last temporary loan of $1,500,000 al- though this was borrowed on tax warrants and Tax Collector William A. Ennis, who collected more than $3,000,000 in the May installment, is the head of the department to which the money accrued.
 Also, the controller points with

Lawyers, neWspapermen, sher- ifs, members of the extensive staff of Prosecutor Alcorn formed a preponderant majority of court room witnesses to the arrajgn- ment of most of the defendants today.
 Outside it was raining. Across the way on the far side of Leav- enworth street, possibly 200 per- sons awaited the appearance of the defendants about whom they had read in the newspapers. off, ficials of the state, of the city.
 But this was no factional group looking for opportunity to attain space in the newspapers under the control of any principal. These were the actual unem- ployed. those who had leisure and a little curiosity about the mat ter of "who- -done-it."
 Five women only were among those who occupied courtroom seats and one of these, lawyer, was member and officer of po- litical group opposed to the party to which many of the defendants have allegiance. Two of the wo- men had no particular point be- yond curiosity in being present. They were white-haired, unaware of the many qualifications of the legal battle.
 Across the way sat AlcOrn, De- tective George L. Greer, $1O-per- day special investigator, wearing his inscrutable and bespectacled mask of indifference. Principal ammunition provider County De- tective Edward J. Hickey, Alcorn's aide for more than a dozen years, stood with arms folded near the desk of Superior Court Clerk George H. Freeman. while his chief. Special Prosecutor Alcorn, made objection to Judge Inglis when the latter refused to set q trial date.

Todays procedure required less than 25 minutes. The accused were arraigned in groups of four, waived the reading of the information, en- tered their pleas of not guilty and returned to their seats. Had they not waived the reading of the 32- page informa tion, the hearing would have been much longer.
 Court Room Filled
 Although the courtroom was filled to capacity, the street specta- tors were not so numerous. At nc time did the crowd reach propor- tions of more than 150, and there were no disturbances. Those who did gather were dispersed by a heavy rainfall which started just before 10 o'clock.
 All spectators were kept at dis tance of more than 100 feet from the courthouse by police detail headed by Captain William J. Dug gan, Sergeants Joseph McEvoy Patrick Foley and Joseph Petit and including Patrolmen John Don- ahue, Joseph German, John Meeney and John Parmentier.
 Mayor Hayes Is First
 First of the defendants to be ar- raigned was Mayor Hayes, who also was among the first of the defend- ants to arrive at the courthouse.
 At exactly 10:02 a. m. by the courthouse clock, Judge Inglis en- tered the courtroom and the ar- raignment was underway, At the suggestion of Judge Inglis the ac. cused were arraigned in groups of fours and fives.
