BRITISH AWAIT
 FOR REACTION

London, Jan. A. (UP)-British officials waited eagerly today for re- action from Palestine on the first of their special Arab broadcastS, in- tended as a counter measure to Italian broadcastS which are held here to be anti-British.
 The answer came today-Arabs after listening to the program last night began to tune it out in favor of one from Italy which included songs by Abdul Wahab, favorite crooner of the near east.
 Arabian leaders from the coun- tries near Palestine were the prin- cipal speakers on the first program. There was 8 violin concert by four numbers, there was some recorded Arabian music, and there was a 15 minute news broadcast.
 Jacob Simon, United Press cor respondent at Jerusalem, reported that he listened to the broadcast in a suburban village cafe, the village being an Arabia none. The villagers at first alternated between the Lon don and Italian broadcasts, which ran simultaneously. Then, said Simon, the Arabs tuned out the Britis bone. They said that the British classical music was the turn- ing point. They liked Abdul Wahab.

Daughter or Ford Official Mysteriously Disappears

Ypsilanti, Mich.

The girl disappeared yesterday afternoon shortly after visiting at the home of her college sweetheart. Russell Hughes, at Dix boro, 10 miles from here.
 Bennett discounted theories that his brown-eyed daughter had eloped with Hughes, an amateur tap dancer, drummer and classmate of Miss Bennett at Michigan State Normal College here.
 T know she would have called me before this if she had gone of to get married" Bennett said.
 Obviously worn from long night of waiting while 1000 city, state and county police searched for his daughter, Bennett vas convinced that she was in some danger.
 Hughes, Bennett said, had visited Gertrude many times in the last few months. He addeds however, that

the boy had not been invited to a New Years eve party last Friday night. Bennett's fears were en- phasized by entry of G-men into the case, indicating possible concen- tration on an earlier theory of kid naping.
 Hughes was missing from his step- fathers home, where he and Ger trude visited at 3:05 p. m. yester- day. When they left, Hughes took an extra pair of shoes and a spare suit of clothes and said he would not return for the night.

 With the exception of three per- sons, one of these member of the board of aldermen of the minority (Democratic) party, this last not decided, the personnel of the board will remain the same, Mayor Hayes said.

Controller Rouland Rehires AH Employees
Eleven of Them at First Were Given Their Discharges Then Taken Back on Temporary Basis-Mystery
 Man in Office Not Present

Eleven employees of the controllers office were fired last night by the Republican Controller-elect Sher- wood L. Rowland. And "re-hired" on a temporary basis. That is, the tall offshoot of J. Warren Upson's organization gave noticet hat all Democratic members of personnel had reached the end of their con- siderable years of service, pending the appeal of Mayor Frank Hayes to the supreme court being found intellectual in reversing the superior court decision giving the controller right to hire and fire.
 They all will be 're-appointed" weekly until such time, if and when, the controller is upheld by the highest court. And, thereafter, it was indicated the "spoils" system will be in vogue ill the controllers office, with scores of persons angling for the posts made vacant by the wholesale firing of the veteran per- sonnel. Such is the situation to- day.

'CARTHY PLEA
 WAS OUTLINED
Man Doing 20 to 30 Years in State Prison Loses
 His Chance

The statute of limitations today proved a barrier to Dennis J. Mo Carthy plea for a new trial on a charge of being a third offender ill the Waterbury Superior Court. Judge Edwin c. Dickenson outlawed the plea in sustaining a demurrer filed several weeks ago by States Attor- claimed that McCarthy's plea should have been filed within three years of the date of sentence.
 Serving 20 to 30 Years
 Mccarthy is serving a 20 to 30 year term in Wethersfield State Prison. He was sentenced April 12, 1882, by Judge Newell M Jennings in the local Superior Court, on a charge of being a third offender. Assistant States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald argued the demurrer in Su- perior Court two weeks ago.
 Prepared By Mccarthy
 The petition for new trial, pre-. pared entirely by Mccarthy, and written in long hand, charges jury tampering, and also that he was given an extra sentence of five years for contempt of court. Judge Jen- nings originally made McCarthy's sentence 15 to 30 years, but obliged tremendously when Mccarthy de. fiantly asked, Couldn't you make it more, Judge?" To complete the technicalities of the case, the state is expected to file motion for judg- ment, which will entirely defeat the plea.

Tom Hefin Fights To Get Senate Seat OF Hugo Black

 There are three candidates: Rep resentative Lister Hill. who is gen. orally regarded as an ardent sup porter of the Roosevelt administra- ton; former Senator J. Thoms Hefiin, who announced that T will support Roosevelt when believe he is right" and Charles Williams, dirt" farmer.
 Observers believed that Hill would receive most of the labor vote and the votes of at least the more ar- dent Democrats.

YANKEE FIDDLER
 DISAPPEARING
Wareham Williams Bent= ley of BOzrah, 76, Is
 Still at the Game

BoNah, Conn, Jan. 4-(UP)-The last of the once-familiar Yankee peddlers" drove his horse and wagon along the roads of Bozrah, Franklin and Yantic today, completing his 5Oth year as an intinerant butcher without missing a day or taking a vacation.
 Wareham Williams Bentley'S white horse and white-covered wagon has been an accustomed sight in the three communities, regardless of weather, and no substitute has ever taken his place.
 Now nearing 77 years, Bentley remembers when snow drifts were so high-before the days of im- proved highways and plows-that he had to shovel a path to get through his route. He also remern- bers when he paid six cents a pound for beef "by the carcass" and pork was $3 barrel.
 Moved To Bozrah 1888
 One of F children, he settled here in 1888 from North Stonington, bought a white horse and a white wagon and set himself up in busi- ness. There has been an oft-re- peated observation, passed along during the years, that "one could set his watch when Bentley drove into sight"
 Despite his long hours and re- fusal to modernize his travelling shop, Bentley found time for town affairs and politics. He has been town clerk since 1895, treasurer since 1916, judge of probate froH- 1918 until 1880, and served two terms in the state house of representatives. He is a democrat.
