BODY OF M'INTYRE
 TO BE TAKEN HOME

New York. Feb. 15-tUP)-The body of O. O. Mcintyre, columniSt, who provided millions of small-town readers with glamorous word pie lures of New York, will be removed tonight to his boyhood home at Gallipolis, O.. for burial tomorrow in Mound Hill cemetery overlooking his favorite river, the Ohio. The body will rest at the Frank E. Campbell funeral parlor on Broadway-the Broadway whose neon lights were like sparkling jewels to Mcintyre until this evening.
 Although Mcintyre is dead, his column: "New York Day by Day." will live for some time. His last column was written on Saturday, but he already had forwarded to his syndicate enough articles to last for more than three weeks, and 1t was believed that a number more still were in his apartment. The columns will run daily until all have been used.
 Mcintyre died yesterday of a heart attack. He would have cele- brated his 54th birthday and 30th wedding anniversary Friday. Mrs. Mcintyre, the former Maybelle Small of Gallipolis, will accompany the body to Ohio.

WRIGHT JURY HAS
 NOT YET DECIDED

Los Angeles, Feb. 15.-(UP)-The same jury that agreed in less than four hours that Paul A. Wright was guilt of manslaughter for killing his wife and his friend, John B. Kimmel, still debated today after a five-hour session, whether he was sane at the time he killed. The eight men and four women resume deliberations at g a. m. (noon ESTl. They had retired for the night at 10 D. m. after taking the case at s o'clock. Wright's second trial, where his plea of not guilty by req son of insanity was considered, re- quired one day. The facts already were familiar and it had been ex- pected that they would reach ver- dict quickly.
 The jury had three alternatives: CD that Wright was insane at the time of the shootings but is sane now. which would mean setting him free; CD that he was and still is insane, thereby consigning him to an asylum: (3) that he was and still is sane and responsible for his acts, making him liable to prison sentence of one to 20 years for manslaughter, of which he was found guilty in the original trial that ls ted a month.

YOUTHS RETURNED TO REFORMATORY
Picked Up Here in ROund- Up of Crime Suspects;
 Three Given NOlleS

Two of the 12 men arrested last week in a surprise police roundup of crime suspects were returned to Cheshire reformatory yesterday af- ternoon. The pair, Alphone Con- forti 9, of IS Hill street, and An thony Dvoskas, 22, of 82 South Leonard street, were taken into cus- tody by reformatory officials for al- legged violation of the parole.
 Three others arrested in the drive received nolles in city court when arraigned on vagrancy charges last week. The other seven will be ar- raigned tomorrow. Thus far, they are charged only with vagrancy Bonds of $2,0O0 have been set in each of these cases.
 Chief Inspector Joseph Stevens of the detective bureau, who direct ed the drive, said he did not know how much additional terms Con- forti and Dvoskas mus serve at Cheshire. Taking part in the series of arrests, in which pool rooms, tav- erns and other hang -outS were vis- tied, were all available members of the detective bureau and the vice squad.
 The arrests climaxed attempts on the part of the police to halt series of burgIaries about the city in recent months. Many of the burglaries in- cluded safe theftS and safe crack ings. The men arrested were all questioned at headquarters in re- gard to the crimes.

Tone Grateful For
 Tips On Employment
Employers Cooperation DislOses Intent of Scores Oi
 TneIigibles to Obtain Benefits

"The department wishes to thank the employers for their cooperation. They are helping to prevent abuse of the law. We hope that they will continue to be vigilant in exposing any fraud which comes to their at- tention."
 The commissioner explained that an employer is notified as soon as a former worker has filed claim and is apparently eligible to draw compensation. He may contest the claim if he desires. During the past few weeks, numerous business men, on the receipt of notification, have written to the department protest ing claims on the grounds that ap- plicantS have not left their employ and are working steadily.
 The status of claimants who are believed to be misrepresenting themselves is being investigated, MT. Tone said. Maximum penalties pro- vided by the Connecticut Act will be imposed whenever attempts to re- ceive are discovered, he warned.

Diagnostic Clinics
 Held For Children
Efforts to Give Corrective Treatment to Cripples Are
 Proving Successful; Health Authorities Pleased

The state department of health, according to its bulletin, is well sat- isfied with the results of the first two crippled children diagnostic clinics under the Connecticut state plan for crippled children services, held at the Windham Community Memorial hospital, Willimantic, and William w. Backus hospital, Nor wich earlier this month.
 Seventeen children ranging in age from one month to 18 years were brought to the Willimantic clinic and II chuldren ranging in age from six months to 19 year to the Nor wich clinic. Among the conditions presented for treatment were club feet, wry ttwisted) neck, hare lip, cleft palate, congenital heart dis ease, supernumerary diget, haccid paralysis (infantile paralysis and brachial palsy), spastic paralysis, post-traumatic deformatieS, scolio- sis, and rickets. Arrangements are now be ing made for treatment of such cases as come under the care of the division of crippled children, and for referral of the remainder to proper agencies.
 Cure Possible
 Most of the children had defects definitely amenable to treatment. It is no small source of satisfaction, the department said, to realize that Connecticut will now be able to give medical care to many such boys and girls who would perhaps have gone without treatment, or for whom treatment would have been too long delayed. In fact, one of the older boys at the Windham clinic had a wry neck which had never been treated, and which had resulted in serious deformities of the face, jaws, spine and chest. These latter deformities cannot now be cured, but could have been entirely averted if the boy had been treated early enough. At the same time, three other children, one an infant only a month old, were brought to the clinic because of wry neck. Their outlook is very different from that of the boy, and very hopeful.
 The department expressed its gratitude for the cordial cooperation given to it at the clinic by many people, and especially the hospital authorities. In summary, 1t may be said, the department declared, that the first crippled children clinics demonstrated 8 very real need for a medical and surgical service of this character, and conveyed a grateful sense of the welcome and cooperation that communities will extend to it. With such good omens attending these first efforts, splen- did future of solid usefulness can be predicted for the Division of Grip pied Children.
 Schedule
 The regular schedule for the five clinics now established will be as follows: Windham Community Me morial hospital, Willimantic, third Thursday of each month (except this month) 9 a. m.; William w. Backus hospital, Norwich. second Wednesday of each month, g a. m.; Danbury hospital, fourth Thursday of each month, g a. m.; Newington Home for Crippled Children, first Wednesday of each month, 1 p. m.; Stamford hospital, second Friday of each month, p. m.

Unprepared!

China has the courage, but not the machinery and equipment, to defeat Japan, said President Fran cis Cho Min Wei of Hua Chung College, China, in an address at the annual mems dinner at St. John's Episcopal church last night. A crowd of more than 200 men at- tended.
 When China is able to prepare for war, he said, she will be able with her population of more than 800 millions, to drive Japan com- pletely from the continent. China, he said, expected aggression on the part of Japan but was not ready for the major war that is now in progress.
 Most Chinese. he said, feel that the invasion of their country was inspired by the political and mill itary leaders of Japan, and have no grievance against the Japanese people.
