tions of the Wagner act in the

victed of crimes or pleaded guilty
in connection with the strikes.
Ends Legal TGngle
Today's decision cleared up a
legal tangle that developed when
the third circuit court Of appeals
in Philadelphia opposed theslabor
boards withdrawal Of its original
ruling against Republic last April,
forcing the case into the Supreme
Court. The high court ruled for
the board.
Preliminary findings were i'm
mediately issued by the board, and
after the company replied to these,
today's final decision was reached.
Back Pay Ordered
The order today also directed Re
public to give back pay to all strik-
ing workers since the date Of their
first application for reemploy-
ment.
If during that time the strikers
have earned money elsewhere,
that may be deducted, but if strik-
ers have been on relief, the COM
pany must repay to the various
relief agencies concerned all
money given to the workers, and
may then deduct these amounts
from back pay due to the workers.
The corporation also was ord

effect in MaSsillon, Canton,
Youngstown, Warren and Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Plan for Rehiring
Further, the board ordered Re
public to dismiss all workers hired
after the strike if necessary to
reinstate strikers.
If this does not make room for
unemployment of strikers, the
board directed:

Lindbergh, who recently was
the center Of an international

only American who has received

The controversy in which the

BECKWITH COUNTY
 CLUBS ORGANIZE
Litchfeld Democrats Plan= ming Extensive and
 Effective Campaign

Last evening the Advisory Board of the Beckwith for Sheriff Organ ization gathered at the White Eagles Home on Water street in Torrington for the purpose of discussing and completing organization plans for the newly formed Litchfield County organization.
 Every town in the County was represented at last evenings ban quet and the large gathering gave every indication that the Democra- tic party in Litchfield County this year is about to wage one of the most extensive and effective cam paigns it has conducted in its long and unsuccessful career here.
 Sheriff Sutherland A. Beckwith in speaking on the purposes of the organization advised his committee that the organization was open to all, regardless of their political faith.
 It is planned to organize local units of the Beckwith for Sheriff association in every town ill the county. If and when, this is &C., complished it will naturally mean that the Democratic party will have a most effective reserve to call into use.
 Even at this early date Beckwith, with the coming election in mind, is conducting one of the most in- tensive campaigns this county has ever seen. He is organizing First Offenders Clubs throughout the county. He is staging shows and movies for the children of the towns in the County, and this Saturday morning he is staging mammoth free show and movies for the school children of Torrington at Warmers theater.
 It is an accepted fact here that Beckwith is the most popular, most aggressive high sheriff candidate the democratic party has ever had in this county.

ARMISTICE MOVE IS ADvAN C|NG
Britain Wins P Oint in Spanish War = Russia
 Withdraws Objection

London, June D. (UP)-Great Britain won the first important move in efforts to arrange an armis- tice in the Spanish civil war today when Soviet Russia withdrew objec- tions to the British plan for evacua- tion of foreign volunteers.
 The Soviet, which had been hold ing up the plan, agreed to accept the method of counting volunteers, 8 division of the volunteers into four main categorieS and the restoration of land and sea control of the Span ish frontiers.
 Russia's acceptance of the non- intervention committee plan was announced after it was learned that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain intended to go beyond the scope of the committees work because he was not satisfied with its relatively negative efforts.
 8. B. Cagan, counsellor of the So- viet embassy, said at the committee meeting that Russia would cate- enforcement of effective land and gorically insist upon simultaneous  sea control. He said the British pro- posals did not guarantee effective sea control.
 If after 40 days withdrawal of vol unteers has not started, the Soviet will insist that land and sea control of the Spanish frontier automatic ally lapse. No further postpone ment of any kind or under any cir cumstances will be granted, Cagan said.
 The first major progress of the committee in many months coincided with Britain's decision to work ac- lively to arrange an armistice in the Spanish conflict; to seek pacific settlement in Czechoslovakia and eventual direct friendship negotia- tionS with Germany.
 It was Chamberlain's desire to try to effect an agreement that would end the war. Constant threat to European peace.

VARSITY VILLAGE
 NEW EXPERIMENT
Niagara University Expan= sion Demand With New
 Type of Residence

To meet demands of a rapidly growing student body, Niagara University today announced plans for the erection on her campus of a group of e-like collegiate residences that are expected to inaugurate new era in the prob- lem of campus accommodations.
 Work on the proposed project, which is to be known as Varsity Village" will begin shortly and will be completed and ready for occupancy by next October, if present plans materialize. The Vil- lage will be located northeast of the present group of buildings on the banks of Niagara's miniature lake.
 Enrolment Increasing
 The proposed residence plan will enable the university to answer an expansion question that has be- come acute of late. For several years student enrolment has been increasing heavily and taxing the institution to capacity. The erec- tion of the new residences will permit her to solve the problem in tWo-fold manner: CD by in- creasing her living quarters with modern and attractive residential facilities; CD and, as the col legians move into their new quar- ters, to use the other buildings for greater development of scho- lastic, academic and social activi- ties.
 In design the homes will be con- structed along lines of English Tudor to conform with the present group of buildings. They will vary in appearance and materials, some to be built of stone, others of brick, and others of half timber. The group, when completed, will surround a central commons. Each residence, featuring the advan- tages of home in college atmos- phere, will house from IT to 20 students.
 Specifications and plans for the project were submitted by Chester Oakley, prominent Buffalo (N. Y) architect, and have drawn favor able comments from many leading engineers and designers who claim that Niagara's residence scheme will be distinctly unique in uni versity life and will set a prece- dent that should become extreme ly popular in the future.
 Designed Shrine
 Oakley has designed drawings and plans for a number of pro- jects throughout the country, amongst them being Holy Name College in Washington, D. C., Stella Niagara, N. Y, and the fla nous Shrine of the North Amer ican' martyrs at Auriesville, N. Y.
 The construction of the Village will mark another step in the modern building policy of the university which began in 1926. Since then the university has erected Lynch Memorial, Faculty House, Hartigan Memorial library, an 18-hole golf course, Varsity football stadium, and seminary gymnasium. In addition, Alumni Chapel has been redecorated, and and last summer science labora- tories were completely renovated and enlarged.

FRANCE REv|SES
FOREIGN POLICY
By KENNETH T. DOWNS

MARSEILLES, Oct. 26 Q.N.S0
Frances most important political
meeting since the World War
opened here today with assembly
of the Radical Socialist Congress.
At this convention France will
begin to reshape her whole foreign
and domestic policies, which were
shattered overnight during Sep
TENDERS dramatic events culmi-
mating in the Munich accord.
MOVES LISTED
Highly important action which
the party of Premier Daladier is
understood to be planning includes
these moves:
/. An outright break with the
Communist party, which will
sound the death knel of the
popular front" government and
have widespread consequences.
2. Approval of the four-power
system of regulating the affairs
of Europe, with Britain, France,
Italy and Germany as the di-
rectors.
3. The greatest rearmament
program in the history of the
nation.
4. Drastic Tightening Of ma
tional discipline, with modifica-
ton of the 40-hour week laws
and other social legislation.
TWO PARTY SYSTEM
No government since the in
auguration of the popular front"
under Leon Blum in 1886 has
dared to take such measures, and
the fact that they are being put
forward now further shows Dala-
dier's growing independence from
the extreme leftistS.
Urgency of improved national
defense will be advanced as the
excuse for these steps toward die
tatorial reform, which will in the
end bring about the collapse of
the multi-party system and evolve
into a two-party system like that
of the United States.
