Photo by Acme)

Joseph F. Sullivan, 43, of 217 At. wood avenue and George Hubbard 29, of 149 Woodland avenue, for mer employees of the Colonial Trust company, were given suspended jai terms of six months each when ar- raigned in superior court this morn ing on charges of making false en- tries on the books of the Colonial Trust company.
 States Attorney Lawrence l. Lewis, acting on information receiv- ed from Banking Commissioner Walter Perry, obtained bench war rants from Judge Frank P. McEvoy for the arrest of the two. Judge Me Evoy also imposed the sentence, and placed the two men on probation for a year.
 The sum involved n the disclosure was $2,625. All has been repaid, ac- cording to States Attorney Law renee L. Lewis, who also stated that he was satisfied in the belief that there was no intention on the part of the two to defraud the bank of any funds permanently.
 Personal plea for leniency towards the two men was made by Austin L. Adams, president of the Colonial Trust company. Sullivan, who was chief clerk of the saving and con- mercial departments at the bank had been an employe of the bank for 20 years. Hubbard, who was un- der Sullivan's jurisdiction, was teller in the savings department Both were discharged January 25 when the bank became aware of their ac- tions.
 Hubbard received no personal benefit from his part in the affair as all was used to pay employees and creditors of the Eastern Wood Prod uctS company, of which Sullivan is secretary and treasurer.
 All funds were returned to the bank within two days after the dis covery was made, January 25. At the time the falsifications were con- mitted, Sullivan was anticipating a loan of $2,500 from the Globe Finance company. This loan was to have been used to cover the false entries.
 Attorney Patrick Healey represent ed Sullivan and reminded the court of the states satisfaction that "there was no dishonest intentions whatso- ever"
 MT. Adams, president of the bank, in a statement to Judge McEvoy: T don't know exactly what it is proper to say. I do hope, however, that if you can you will show len- iency to the two men. I think MT. Hubbard is particularly deserving of it, and hope MT. Sullivan might be shown leniency alSo."

 The presidents harmony" con- ference will be attended by Sen. Jo- seph F. Guffey, State Chairman David L. Lawrence, Matthew H. McCloskey, Philadelphia co-leader, and J. David Stern, Philadelphia and New York publisher.

 The Lawrence -McC Closkey faction is supporting Charles A. Jones, Pittsburgh attorney, and claims suf- ficient votes on the Democratic state committee, which meets in Harris burg tomorrow, to make him the party's candidate.
 Stern is backing Luther A. Harr city treasurer of Philadelphia and former state banking secretary while Guffey is prepared to ask the state committee to change its rules and refrain from endorsing slate thus throwing the May IT primary wide open.
 State Attorney General Charles J Margiotti is an Independent candi- date for the Democratic nomina. tion, and Kennedy is expected te run as an Independent unless the party leaders bow to Lewis de- mands. Lewis and Kennedy con ferred here yesterday. but will moi participate in the White House meeting today.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, Feb. 24-CUP)-Sen. Hiram Johnson, R., Cal, described Great Britain's new diplomatic course today as a devastating blow to United States foreign policy but one that emphasized the desire of the American public to keep out of international entanglements.
 Johnson, an influential member of the senate foreign relations com- mittee and leader of the congression- al "irreconcilables," said that Bri- tain'S decision to work with the fascist powers was setback to the announced policy of Secretary of State Cordell Hull of taking ''paral- lel" action with democratic nations in international affairs.
 Then again, President Roosevelt said that we would quarantine all the wretched nations," Johnson said. T don't think we'll do that now that Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain is deaiiag with them.
 We have had an ocular demon stration of the Chamberlain attitude that will make us very much more cautious in the futuro. think there will be many more Americans now who will want to know what our for eign policy is"

Hayes Rowland Tilt Ouer Office Up Soon
Supreme Court Sets March For Arguments Jus= tices to Sit on Case at Hartford Hearing -Deci-
 sion May Be Held Up For Some Time

Arguments in the supreme court of errors phase of the Hayes-Row- land wrangle for supremacy in the controllers office will be conducted Wednesday, March 2, at II a. m. in the supreme court building at Hartford. Such, assignment was set down yesterday by Chief Justice William M. Maltbie and announced today. Several other local cases were also set down for argument during the same week.
 Although the case will be heard next Wednesday by the justices of the supreme court, no decision may be expected for considerable time thereafter, unless special considera- tion is given to the time element of the case.
 Position of all employees of the controllers office are jeopardized by the action. If the court upholds a decision handed down in superior court by Judge Edwin c. DickenSon, the present employees will be turned out and succeeded by selections of MT. Rowland. Should the supreme court find error in the decision, there is the possibility of new trial of the issue. Judge Dickenson held that the controller was responsible for the hiring and firing of his as sistants and that the mayor could only fire if he found just cause.
 Other Waterbury cases assigned for appeal hearings during the March term are as follows:
 Anthony Giancarlo against Theo- dore Karabanowski and others, as- signed for hearing Tuesday, March l, at 10:30 a. m. Assigned to follow directly are the cases of the Fidelity & Casualty Insurance company of New York and others against Sears Roebuck company; a1.d the case of Walter Stulginski against the Wa terbury Rolling Mills company.

BAT, BLACKJACK
 USED IN FIGHT
$5,OOO Suit Brought { Against Tavern, Patrons
 For Assault

Slugged with a baseball bat, 8 blackjack, and flying fists, because he refused to buy second drink in Brooklyn tavern, Gaetano Cimicato today filed suit for 1000 in the superior court, naming the owners of the tavern and his alleged aSsailants, defendants.
 The defendants are Joseph Sanda and his son, William, proprietors of the tavern, and Peter Strelkauskas, one of the alleged assailants. Att torney Joseph c. Guilfoile appears for the plaintiff.
 Entering the tavern, which is lo- cated on the corner of Washington avenue and Wagner alley, Cimicato ordered beer, he says in his com- plaint. At this point he was ac- costed by Strelkauskas and another man named Marine, who demanded that he buy them a drink. He com piled with their request, but when they demanded more he refused and started to leave. His path was barred, he says, and the two mn hit him several times, then dragged him into the kitchen of the estab- lishment, and subsequently, outside, where they continued beating him until he was Senseless.
 Cimicato claims the owners of the tavern should have made some move to assist him against the attackers. He also claims Sanda sold intoxi- eating liquors to Strelkauskas and Marine, and under the statutes, is responsible for their actions. The men were drunk, according to Cimi- cato. His injuries included two black eyes, several cuts and bruises about the body, especially to the chest and right leg, and several broken ribs.

Taihoku, Formosa, Feb. (UP) -(By Radio Telephone to Tokyo) The small foreign community of Taihoku escaped unhurt in yester- days bolnbings.
 The first attack caught the popu- lace by surprise but the second was announced by regular air raid warn ings.
 I was having tea at home of 8 friend when the second series Of bombs was dropped. They made a terrific noise. The earth trembled and people were reminded of dis astrous earthquakes of the past
 We were outdoors but were unable to see the planes.
 There was considerable rushing around but the people soon calmed.
 Today there is no evidence of ex- citement. business continues as usual.
 There was nothing to indicate whether foreign pilots were in volved in the raids. The height at which the attacking planes flew gave an element of mystery to the whole thing because it was impos- sible to discern with the naked eye whence the bombs were coming.
