Nice Work, Judge! His Honor Has Sym pathy for One-Hand Driver and Girl
 Friend
BY THE OUT EASTER

We haven't any idea how the courts of Waterbury or surround ing towns would take it, but we reprint the story of young James Lucy, Jr., of East Hartford for the benefit of the young lovers of Waterbury and vicinity, in case they happen to be arrested for speeding by some energetic con- stable any one of these warm nights.
 The boy was arrested in the town of Berlin by Constable Or vile Ventres, who charged that little Jimmy drove his car with one hand while the girl rested her head on his shoulder.
 "Yes, sir, that is true" ex- plained Jimmy to Judge George G. Griswold of the Berlin town court. My girl was tired and needed rest, and I was rushing her home because her father told me if did not get her home early, would not be able to take her out again. I guess I speeded some, but I didn't want to run the risk of losing her, by mourning the ill will of her father"
 Judge Griswold smiled broadly at the nnocent-looking boy. and said:-
 Jimmy, under the circumstan- ces, I will suspend sentence, but don't go away so far in the fu- ture."
 Jimmy said he wouldn't, but he didn't guarantee not to have his girl get tired again.

PEACE IN SPANISH
 WAR IS HUNDRED
Neville Chamberlain Is Already to Reveal Plans
 Made to Date

London, June 22 (UP)-Hope that a truce might be effected in the Spanish Civil War within a com- paratively short time is gaining ground in responsible quarters here, it was learned today.
 A most reliable source said that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain intended in his speech in the House of Commons yesterday to disclose to thD world, in general outline, secret moves to promote peace in Spain, but that he was dissuaded at the last moment.
 Chamberlain was urged-by France, according to usually reliable mfor- mants-to omit references to the possibilities of peace. He agreed, it WIS added, accepting the suggestion that it would be undesirable at present to spread the idea that the path toward peace appeared smooth.
 Nevertheless, it was said, Cham berlain is most hopeful of ultimate success in his aim of ending the war by agreement. It was emphasiz- ed that he did not hope for i'm mediate peace, but for a truce with in time which would be short com- pared to the duration of the war itaelf.
 A reliable diplomatic source said that tenative peace feelers had been made recently from both Loyalist and Nationalist sides, not by leaders but by moderates who speak more directly for war-Weary masses of Spaniards.
 Basques, Catalans and some for mer half-left wing members of Parliament were said to be among those on the side of peace in the Loyalist ranks. On the Nationalist side, it was said that some members of the Fascist Phalangis:s had put out feelers with the support of ele- ments who are anxious lest Spain be faced with foreign domination
 Agreement has been reached in principle on removing foreign "vol- unteers" from Spain. But it is pre- dicted that the actual withdrawal even to a automatically "substan- tial" proportion, might not be ef- fected until next fall and Chamber lain does not want to wait that long to pursue peace efforts.
 The government hopes soon tc negotiate agreements on the last two points of it's Spanish war policy the degree of belligerent rights tc be accorded the Nationalists and payment of perhaps $7,500,000 which it will cost to evacute volunteers
