 McLevy Mentioned"
 At one occasion, Attorney Benja- min Slade, who with Attorney John H. Cassidy appears to be most capa- ble of arOusing Mir. Alcorn's ire, josl1ed MT. Alcorn about his bald head. MT. Acorn has, on several occasions, taken smiling issue with the manner in which Slade speaks of TCasper" McLevy and the "So- cialistic" party. He has also created laughter by his reference to MT. Slade'S unsuccessful campaign for attorney-general, when the defense has alluded to his gubernatorial am bitions.
 Only yesterday, MT. Alcorn re- ferred to MT. Cassidy as a pencil pusher."
 In questioning one woman he re- ferred to Attorney Glade and Attor- ney George Crawford as "well known gentlemen" and in reference to Att torney James D. c. Murray used the expression, ''even better known"
 The fact is that counsel are not now under the strain which they will encounter when the actual presentation of evidence commences. At the present time the work of interrogating veniremen involves only four members of the defense staff, and represents no advance work other than some possible in vestigation of livelihood of the pros- pective jurors.
 Arguments Later
 That this is being done has been forcibly indicated by the manner in which counsel question or refuse to question veniremen. This is true of defense as well as state counsel.
 When the presentation of evidence commences, every member of the defense legal corps will undoubtedly participate in the arguments which develop.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-12-19

One hundred and 95 veniremen have been questioned and only eight have been acceptable. Fifty four have been challenged by the court; 66 by the defense and 67 by the state. One hundred and ten challenges are still available to the defense and 109 are left to the state. In three weeks of ques- tioning, the average of acceptance has been less than three week.
 During the past weekend, coun- sel and defendants scattered to their various homes in other cities and states. During the next few days 1t is expected that some ar- arrangements will be made concern ing the Christmas adjournment, if there is to be one.

POLISH JEWISH
 CAMP EPIDEMIC
More Than 600 of 5000 Refugees Are Down III
 With Influenza

Bef1tschen, Poland, Dec. 19-CUP) --Ofacials in charge of Polish- Jewish refugee camp on the German frontier reported today that an in- fiuellza epidemic threatened to de- velop as a result of a severe cold wave and that 10 of the refugees had gone mad.
 More than 600 of 5000 refugees, forced across the frontier from Ger many due to a recent controversy over passport regulations, were re- ported i'll of influenza and hundreds of others had colds. Two of those who became insane and 10 others have died, the camp executive said
 Fears were expressed by the camp officials that continued cold would cause widespread epidemic.
 Temporary barracks, including an unfinished mill, a dance hall and a gymnasium, were poorly heated causing sveere suffering from the cold. Crowds of refugees were hud- dled around fires built in whatever shelter was available, beating their hands together and stomping to keep warm.
 "A shortage of clothing and gloves is adding to our difficulties" the off, cial said.
 All men and women over 65 years of age-about 200 of them-were given permission yesterday to go to Poland to visit relatives. About 50 children whose parents were not at the camp also were permitted to leave for the interior.
 Our only salvation appears to be permission for the refugees to mi grate to other lands" the executive officer said. Tn any event, 1t appears we must spend the rest of the win- ter here"
 Snow hurries accompanied 8 dror in the temperature to IS degrees be- low zero Fahrenheit.

mer fishing trip that would take him
by warship to one Of three areas far
from the United States.
While final decision rests on when
Congress adjourns, it was said he is
thinking of boarding a cruiser at some
Southern port around mid-July to
strike out for the far-of1 Azores and
Madeira Islands in the lower Atlantic
in the Caribbean, or the Galapagos
Islands in the Pacific
Having trolled Florida waters last
December and the Western Gulf a

as looking for new fsherman's para

The vacation trip would take him
far from the political scene at a time
when many primary election cam
paigns are at their peak. It would end
soon enough, however. to permit a
speaking trip or two before late pri-
maries and the November election.
Mr.. Roosevelt has indicated indi-
| rectly his wish for reelection of GER
tain Senators and his friends said they

to bat for some others.
The trip probably would require q

months whirled stocks up 81 to more

The usually quiet Saturday session
on the Stock Exchange was turned

chiefly to defeat of the reorganization

other spending and lending drive to
stimulate business recovery.
Apparently. brokers pointed out
the administrations setback caught
the financing district by surprise.
Leading shares were taken out OF
the market in blocks of 1000 to 5000
shares at the opening. After a briei
lull, new wave of buying toward the
finish OF the short two-hour session
sent prices upward again.
In the first hour OF fast trading or

hands. Yesterday, in a full five-houl
session, the turnover was 1928, 200 and
Thursday only 330,350 transactions
we're recorded, the smallest since Sep
tember, 1884.
Steels. motors. chemicals. rails and
other groups went along with the ad.
vance in the broadest buying brokers
had witnessed this year.
The buying movement embraced
virtually all markets and ignored q

However, hope rose in financial quar-
ters the strong recovery swing in Sc
curitv markets might foreshadow ar
industrial pickup later in the year.
