the German campaign to exert a protective" interest over the Ger man minority in CzechoSloVakia, provided that Hitler's aims were achieved by peaceful means.
 On this second point, it was the belief in well informed quarters that the agreement meant just what it said - that Mussolini would give moral support to Germany but that Germany could not depend on Italys support if war resulted from it's campaign in behalf of the min ority.
 Hitler's Promise Unknown
 What Hitler promised Mussolini in return was not known. But sources whose information has proved ac- curate in the past expressed belief that he had promised not to under mine Italian influence in Hungary; to respect Italian trade interests in Central and Southeastern Europe, and to waive in Italy's favor any economic advantages that might derive from a nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War.
 The setting for tonights speech was an unusual one for the dictators

 Alarm at 6:26
 The alarm was received at 6:26. Engines and 2, Truck 3 and the booster engine from headquarters answered the alarm. Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion was in charge.
 Bremen quickly ran several lines of hose to the building and began to battle the flames. Some furniture and personal effects were taken from the building by firemen. Aid ing were Capt. William Duggan and Motor Patromlan Joseph Mccarthy, who had also answered the alarm. The two policemen gave the firemen considerable help.
 The outside of the house was dam aged but 8 little since 1t is covered with fireproof asbestos shingles. In the interior, however, the blaze swept up from the cellar through the flooring and along the walls.
 Mass of Flames
 When firemen arrived the interior was mass of flames, and it ap- peared that the entire structure was doomed. However, the blaze was kept from spreading any further, and the fire brought under control.
 Bremen on the night platoon, who answered the alarm, were re- lieved shortly after 8 o'clock by members of the day shift.

5000 DROWNING M|SHAPS YEARLY
All Waterburians Urged to Take Advantage of Red
 Cross Course

Coincident with the announce ment by the Waterbury Red Gross chapter of the beginning of class In life saving and water safety, John M. Burrall, chapter chairman, yesterday said that the Red Gross goal was "every American swim mer, and every swimmer a life saver."
 Thirty million American went swimming at various times last sum- mer," Mir. Burrall said. "Other un- counted millions found recreation k boating and canoeing, leaving no doubt that in the sporting field aquatics rank first in the number of participants as well as in the diversity of interest and activity.
 An average of 5000 persons drowned every year indicates the danger there Is in aquatic sports if those who take part are not taught the essentials of safety in the wa ter and the principles of first aid for tn 1se who may be drowning or

Waterbury Sends Largest County Group to Young
 Democrats Session

Resolutions urging support of the present national democratic admin istration under the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt were expected to highlight the sixth annual con- vention of the Young Democratic Clubs, Inc. of Connecticut in New Haven today.
 Committee meetings were held at Hotel Taft last evening. Today's general session will witness the elec- ton of officers. Waterbury having the largest representation from the New Haven County is expected to be recognized again in the distribution of honors. Last evening the name of Francis c. O'Donnell, president of the local club, was mentioned most frequently for the office of state vice-president. The county discus sions were led by Joseph Carolan of Waterbury, county president.
 It was apparent last evening among the delegates that a more militant spirit was in evidence among the leaders. Resolutions praising President Roosevelt, favor ing direct primaries, advocating elimination of the bar preventing state employees from participating in politics were among the measures under discussion last evening. They will be presented to the convention today in resolution form.
 Frank R. Odlum of Hartford was expected to be the keynoter of the speakers.

as neither is accustomed to making his big speeches across banquet table. The speeches will be broad- cast throughout Italy and Germany and broadcast in translation to other countries.
 Both Italian and German sources said that the speeches would be i'm portant, and the Germans-unlike the Italians-hinted that they might even contain some surprises for Eu- ropean statesmen.
 Exhausted Program
 Hitler, Mussolini, Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian foreign minister, Nnd Joachim Won Ribbentrop, German foreign minister, had about exhaust ed the program for their talks and it was understood that talks today concerned largely the winding up of various matters which had been dis cuSsed already.
 Hitler will have no big engage ments tomorrow, and he will leave for Florence Monday, so that today was the last big one of his visit.
 Mussolini had hoped to complete a series of demonstrations of ItalyS military potence with review and maneuvers by more than 300 fight ing airplanes today on the barren seashore of the Furbara airport 25 miles northwest of Rome.
 It began to rain heavily this morn- ing, however, and the air ministry announced that because the ground was boggy and the visibility poor the show would be postponed until to- morrow.

week of inquisition. No indications have been given as to the trend Of the probe next week, and observers are equally poorly informed as to the length of time the probe will continue. With Judge Ernest A. In glis assigned to the superior court bench here for an indefinite period, there is possibility that the jury will continue several more weeks before instituting any criminal procedure.
 It was speculated today that the Jury would embark on q new avenue of investigation next week and call several witnesses who have not as yet faced the inquiring group.
 Only five new witnesses were added last week to the long list which now represents those who have been before the Waterbury ex- traordinary grand jury. The week was the shortest of the nine to date in the investigation of Waterburys affairs and their ramifications, The jury did not begin sessions until Wednesday.
 Including the five new witnesses of the past week, there have been 145 called before the jury. The jury has conducted sessions on 5 days during the nine weeks of the probe Yesterdays session was the least momentous Of the 35-only two wit nesses being called--both of prev touB appearances.
 Despite the scarcity of new wit nesses, however, the week was one of the most spectacular if not the most spectacular of the nine. The appearance of Mayor Prank Hayes and Alderman Thomas P. Kelly to- gether with the subpoena of Con troller Daniel J. Leary were the high-ighting circumstances.
 The five new witnesses, in the order of their appearances were:
 Joseph P. Geghan, president Of the Geghan Motors Company, May {.

VentrilOquist's Dummy
 Is Progressive Big-Wig
(By NEA Seryice)

Eagle River, Wis, May 5.-A dummy is one of the most influ- ential members of the Progressive party up here in the mortimer end of Wisconsin. Hts name is Charlie Carter, and if that sounds like the name of Edgar Bergen's great lov- CT 1t may be because this Charlie once reposed in the same Chicago workshop with the irresistible Mo- Carthy.
 Charlie is, of course, a ventrilo- quist's dummy, and he's the ward of County Judge Frank w., Carter, whose reputation as a voice thrower is well known hereabouts.
 When the judge and Charlie start out campaigning for Pro- gressive candidate, the opposition usually finds its hands full. and Judge Carter already is oiling up the dummy's tongue for another turn around the political stump circuit.
 Charlie Vows Elm
 When Speaker Paul Alfonsi en- tered the race for the Wiscon- sin assembly in this district last year he appoined Charlie and the judge as his co-campaign man. agers, at Gov. Phil LaFollette's advice. LaFollette himself stumped two counties for Alfonsi, but pros rects for the Progressive ticket in this normally Republican section looked pretty bleak until Charlie Carter started wise-cracking.
 Charlie and the judge were billed for appearances at more than 30 towns, and they played to capacity crowds every showing. Charles quips were okay, too. Here's sample of the two-way con- versation:
 Judge: Charlie. you say you're real Progressive?
 Charlie: You got me right, pal.
 Judge: And yet you won't vote the Progressive ticket straight?
 Charlie: Well, don't think 50 judge.
 Judge: Tell me, Charlie, why not?
 Charlie: That's easy, judge-be- cause I'm a dummy!
 The Saturday before election the judge and Charlie drove 60 miles through a downpour to the little town of Winchester. The crowd at the rally that night didn't let them off the stage until nearly ? o'clock in the morning-and the Progressives carried Winchester almost 100 per cent. Alfonsi won the district in a walk.
 Judge Goes It Alone
 Charlie has scored many other notable political successes, but he has never campaigned for the judge. The judge apparently doesn't need help. First elected in 1919, Judge Carter is now serving his fourth consecutive six-year term.
 Besides his ventriloquism. the Judge is an expert magician. And Mrs. Carter and the two sons, Lyman and Frank, play just about all the musical instruments.
 The Carters have private thea ter in the basement of their home here in Eagle River. The family has the talent to put on variety programs of many different acts Which is what they do, frequently.

 For it is the first thought that brings on the second.
 No Name, No Address

 ITO my mother, wherever she is, this is to you:
 You will have no more heart- aches and grieving to do over an erring daughter. So I say not good- bye but aloha, and I have no one but myself and my father to blame 1t on.

 "P. s. Please sterilize these clothes and give them to someone who really deserves them-Gal in Grey"

 She was five feet, II inches tall, weighed 105, had brown hair and eyes.
 Bus In South Carolina
 Police learned that she had board cd bus in South Carolina Thurs day. She took a seat beside Miss Vernie Keen of New York and throughout the trip, Miss Keen said she talked continuously "as if she felt she had to establish herself as a person of consequence"
 She told Miss Keen she was a registered nurse, with special train- ing in brain surgery; that she was employed by a brain specialist who took her to Havana where he had operated on wealthy sugar planter
 She said she contracted malaria in Havana and lost 35 pounds. Miss Keen doubted this because her tailored clothes fitted her perfectly
 She told Miss Keen that the specialist had returned to New York and had messaged her to hurry here to assist him in & delicate op- eration to be performed Sunday morning. Then, she told Miss Keen she and the doctor would fly to Can- ada for another important case.
 She told Miss Keen she was 26 that her name was Patricia. At 6 stop, they weighed themselves. Mis- Keen said her companion weighed 105, and made the remark ther about losing 35 pounds.
 At Philadelphia she sent a post card, saying it was for an aunt ir New York.
