sented at every board of finance meeting. There are many of them. And, to date, bulletin board" tells prospective bidders what the city needs in the line of supplies, con- trary to the publicity concerning this proposal.
 One of the items of patronage, witnesses related today, is the or- dering of great quantities of elec- trio light bulbs from the Curtis Art Company, owned by Republican friends of the controller. Ordinarily, the city has bought these bulbs from electrical supply houses, not station ary concerns. The business amounts to an estimated $3,000 to $40o0 an- nually.
 Laundry work is being sub-let out of town. The milk business has been taken from Brooklyn section concern, reportedly because the con- troller doesn't regard the firm as "local."
 Evidence of wholesale patronage is being hushed up by the publicity of the Republican, American with such stories as: Controller effects savings; controller asks competitive bids"
 The facts of the matter are avail able to all citizens for, by the con- troller's contention, they are public records"

 semble their machine guns, put their tanks together quickly and take up battle position. Then come big transport ships, carrying as many as 6,000 men. They land be- hind the lines of the parachute troops, discharge their soldiers and go back for more. In an incredib- ly brief time 10000 men are ready for battle.
 No European nation could match the size of the army Russia could put in the field, but she is handi- capped by the fact that she has to divide her forces between the far eastern and western fronts. Noth- ing links those two fronts except the double-trac trans-Siberian railroad, and transportation still is the weakest factor in Russia's de- fense system. The nation could muster 100000 men but whether she could equip them is uncertain. The vast distances of Russia, which defeated Napoleon after he had won all the battles, also would handicap mobilization at home. Russia has been trying to correct that for two years. A road has been built from Vlaivostok to KhaVarovSk. Military highways leading from Moscow to Minsk and KieV are nearly com pleted.
 Development of the airplane is RuSsia's answer to her vast distanc- es, and neutral observers are high in their praise of the Soviet air force. It has 50,000 men and the planes that have been developed are good. One of them, in particular, has proved it's mettle in Spain-the ! Snub-nosed 1-16 which is a CODY of ! the American Boeing fighter. It l can do between 250 and 28O miles an hour and the Russian pilots in Spain apparently have handled it well.
 There seems to be an impression abroad that the Soviet army is an unwieldy, leaderless mass now that Marshal Tukhachevsky and seven of his most brilliant Subordinates have been executed for political of- lenses. Such is not the case, for the Red army never subscribed to the theory of developing a few "Napo- Icons" Instead, it has concentrat- ed on efficient organization and a wealth of military brains is grad uated yearly from the war schools.
 Foreigners, in general, seem in- clined to overestimate the bad ef- feet on popular morale of the fre- quent "purges". They would do well 10 remember that Russians for 1000 years have been phlegmatic about political artists. There might be bitter feeling among individuals, but if war should be declared tomor- row patriotic enthusiasm probably would sweep the country and private grievances would be forgotten.
 Russia keeps constantly in mind the dangtr of attack from the east Newspapers have published reports
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-25

of a "maginot line" on the border of Manchukuo and there is little doubt that thousands of pill boxes and other Qualifications have been built there. To man that line of forts Russia keeps a far eastern army of between 100000 and 100000 on the eastern frontier. Between 800 and 1000 planes are stationed there. To support that big military estab- lishment the Soviet has settled thousands of former soldiers and their families on collective farms.
 Russia's navy is inconsequential when compared with those of other European nations, but she has 60,0O0 sailors available and apparently is planning to build up her floating power.
 More than any other European country, Russia is self-sufficient when 1t comes to food and war ma- terials. Almost every kind of min eral needed to equip an army and navy lies buried somewhere beneath her soil, although much of it is un- developed. She grows no rubber but contends that she now is manufact- uring synthetic rubber and that it is being widely used. One of the great grain-growing nations of the world, Russia had good harvest in 1887 and undoubtedly could feed herself if she went to war.
 Air raid precautions have been taken in all large cities, but they seem to consist chiefly of propa- ganda and inefficient gas mask stunts rather than a serious attempt to provide shelters and mask pro- lection for civilians.

yesterday. Levy was paid "a little less than $1O0,00O" for services to the city. The Community Bank & Trust company announced yesterday that MT. Levy has resigned as a director and chairman of the direc- torate board of that institution.
 Rep. Thoms was the last of the witnesses to be excused by the jury yesterday and he made his exit at about APO, but the jury remained in session until 5:20. It is believed that they were deliberating during that time. Mystified observers of this "deliberating" period became even more mystified when the an- nouncement was made that no ses- sion of the jury would be conducted today. Previously it had been be- lieved that the jury would hold a halliday session.
 Yesterdays session was the con- cluding one of the first three weeks of the jury's investigation and it is that they dwelt most in- tensely on the lobbying situation. The fourth week of the probe will open on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.

 H. R Bain's Rock Lad was in- jured and had to be destroyed.
 Battleship was lightly held in the betting at 40 to 1. Royal Danieli, owned by H. O. McNally, was IS to 1 and workman was 28 to 1. Arthur Sainsburys Blue Shirt and James V. Banks Cooleen started joint fav- orites at to l.
 Cooleen finished fourth. Mrs. J.. B. Shows Delachance, American owned, was fifth. Red Knight was sixth, Blue Shirt seventh, Hopeful Hero eighth, Under Bid ninth, Bachelor Prince tenth, Lough Cot tage eleventh, Provocative twelfth, and Drim last.
 The race was run in the fair time of 9:29 4-5, compared to the record of 9:20 2-5. The course had been soaked by rain but was run in clear sunny weather.
 It was an exciting race and well run. Royal Danieli and Battleship fought their way among the lead- CTS over every one of the 30 Jumps of the difficult course and success fully resisted challenge after chal- lenge.
 Delachance furnished the stiffest competition, having a liking for the course but weakened toward the end while Battleship and Royal Danieli fought their stretch battle which found them neck and neck at the end.

and the likelihood of war.
 "As a matter of fact there is some basis in Britain for the be- lief that economic conditions in this country will get better in short or der. No one could listen to the prime minister's speech in the house of commons without realizing the irn- portance of his announcement that the rearmament program is to be pushed ahead with speed never seen in peace time. British heavy industry will be keyed to peak pro- duction. Money will be spent rapid ly. Acceleration of trade here and the maintenance of high rates of activity seem inevitable.
 Unless the United States and Great Britain are able to better their economic positions, nothing else will matter much. We must get some permanent economic solution for unemployment, security for the worker and other fundamentals which have gone wrong and Amer ica has the manpower and resources to give the world lead"

Rep. Daniel F. B. Hickey of Stam- ford made their appearances in the afternoon.
 Other witnesses of yesterdays session were Judge John F. Mo- Grath of the local city court and Supt. of Police William J. Roach.
 Although he announced last night that the jury would not convene today, Special Prosecutor Alcrn re- fused to admit the reason for the recess The prosecutor said that the jury would not re-convene un- til Tuesday. He also refused to answer questions pertaining to the possibility of arrests and issuance of bench warrants.
 Rep. Thcms has represented Wa terbury for four terms in the Hart ford assemblies. Last year he was minority leader. He is a member of the law firm of Carmody & Thoms which received funds from the city during past years for legal services. He personally received $500 for representing the city in 1894 in at- tempting to receive larger emer- gency relief allotments.
 Rep. Hickey of Stamford was ma jority leader of the House at the 1885 General Assembly. He arrived early in the afternoon, accompanied by an unidentified companion, who is not believed to have been sub poenaed.
 Others who appeared on the top floor of the court house yesterday were the two representatives of the internal revenue bureau who were also seen Wednesday. MT. Alcorn indicated that he knew nothing of their activities. It is possible that they are checking sums received by certain persons from the city and comparing these with the income tax reports filed.
 Attorney Edward G. Levy, of New Haven, who has been the most steady witness of the jury during the past two weeks failed to appear

WCTU TO FIGHT

Hartford, Conn.,, March 25.-(UP) Members of the Women's Chris tian Temperance Union were urged today to combat the use of tobacco as well as liquor.
 Mrs. Lois B. Klinefelter, West Hartford, told regional WCTU conference to do what we can about tobacco.
 "Why do people smoker" she ask ed.
 They smoke" she added, 'to make them happy and avoid re- accessibility. They would rather miss a visit with their mother than miss smoke. They've got to, smoke. It's a chain around their neck"

Fenton of at least $2,300.
 When Mrs. Fenton learned of it she forced her husband to tear up the ticket. She also made him turn down an offer for half share in the ticket from a New York Syndi- cate. Then she had Fenton cable the sweepstakes officials at Dublin that she would not accept one cent of the prize money.
 Had she allowed her husband to accept the New York offer she would have won $4,950.
 The Fentons are members of the Gospel hall, an Evangelical church, and are devoutly religious. Fenton explained that his convictions against gambling are not as strong as his wife's but he did not criticize her.
 Fenton refused to name the horse he drew.
 Boston, March 25.-CUP) Nearly a half-million dollars in Irish sweepstakes prizes came to New England today.
 Two of the benefciaries held tickets on the winning horse Battle ship and will receive $150,000 each.
 At Bethel, Conn, Thomas C. Feeley, 45, a shy, retiring postal clerk, was too astounded by his good fortune to mako any plans for the future.
 In South Boston, however, freckled Michael Murphy, 28, said he would quit his $22-a-week job as a freight handler in a Somerville grocery chain warehouse and buy a little house in the country"
 Murphy took the day off to sit by the radio with his comedy wife and three-year-o daughter and listen to reports of the steeplechase at Aintree.

might facilitate the emergration of political refugeee' were not set forth in the note. In state depart ment circles 1t was believed, how ever, that it might do 8 great deal to assist those persecuted for racial, religious of political reasons.
 The invitations said specifically that the United States did not pro- pose that the immigration quotas of any country should be enlarged, and that private organizations should finance such emergency en- igrtion as might take place.
 "In making this proposal the gov- ernment of the United States has emphasized that it in no sense in- tends to discourage or intefere with such work as is already being done on the refugee problem by any ex- isting international agency" the an- nouncement said.
 "It has been prompted to make the proposal because of the urnegcy of the problem with which the world is faced and the necessity of speedy cooperative effort under gov- ernmental supervision if widespread human suffering is to be averted."
 The inference in state department circles was that to further the pro- iect, German and Austrian immigra- ton quotas in this country would be merged to permit the entry of more than 17,000 immigrants be- tween now and July l, when the quotas go into effect. Austria s quota for the fiscal year is 1413. Or Feb. l, 413 visas had been used, leaving 8 credit" balance of 1000. Germany's quota is 25,957. Up to Feb. l, 9004 visas had been issued, leaving balance of 16,935.
 Almost simultaneous with Hull's proposal, Rep, Emanuel Celler, (d) N. Y, introduced bill in the house to authorize the president to lift immigration quotas and permit refu- gees from racial religious or politi- cal persecution to enter the United States regardless of quota restric- tions.
 It apparently was Hull's idea that number of nations should band together to facilitate and speed up the departure of persecuted persons or groups, from Austria in par ticular.
 The statement that private or ganizations should undertake the financing of any emergency emigra- tion was interpreted as indicating that such organizations should set up in this and other countries ma- chinery to raise money to pay for the emigration, and to provide as- sistance to emigrants on their ar- rival.
