 Birthday Parade
BY EDWARD w. BEATTIE Limited Press Staff Correspondent

BY EDWARD w. BEATTlE United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Berlin, April 20. - (UP) - A new German tank-the heaviest ever seen in Ger many was revealed at today's display of the armed forces on the 18th birthday anni- versary of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler. Nine Of the new war weapons, each carrying four inch gun turrets and several machine guns, rumbled down the Unter Den Linden before the review ing stands. Foreign military ob- servers described them as experi- mental.
 The parade included many other weapons developed in the last four years including anti-tank guns, heavy machine guns and long-bar- reled motorized heavy anti-air- craft.
 The new tanks were estimated to weigh 18 tons each. They had huge squad turretS from which 105 millimeter guns projected. They showed great speed and were re- ported to be easy to maneuver.
 The parade began at 11:15 a. m, after Hitler walked before the troops massed as the eastern end of Unter Den Linden and then took his place in the reviewing stand. It took exactly one hour to pass the stand.
 Austrian Infantry
 In the front rank and place of honor was the 14th Austrian In- fantry regiment from Linz, which because it has not yet become ac- customed to German methods was not required to goose step.
 The regiment was followed by horse drawn anti-aircraft and ma chine gun units, horse and bicycle cavalry, several batteries of 1O5 and 1853 millimeter field guns and howitzers, both horsedraWn and

George H. Kingsley and William Murray of New York, executives of the George H. Kingsley Company, appeared at the jury floor shortly after MT. Johnston arrived. The only other witness Of the morning session was Donate Pietroria, of Bristol, operator of grill. He was identified as man who hired out trucks and supplies to the City Street Department.
 Johnston Got Checks
 While the jury was engaged in an intensive investigation of lobbying, the name of the Electric Steam Sterilizer Company figured promi- nently in all newspaper stories. City records show that MT. Johnston re- ceived $18,956 from the city during the year 1897 for sale of bond is- sues. The sum was given to him in two checks, according to the rec ords available.
 Several members of the past two sessions of the General Assembly who might have had some connec- tion with the passage of bill tend- ing to be favorable to the Electric Steam Sterilizer Company, appeared before the jury several weeks ago.
 City Books Are Target
 It is believed that the jury con- centrated this morning on the city's books and their audits, which na- turally means that MT. Kingsley and MT. Murray were the testifying witnesses. Two members of the concern were called to testify dur ing the past two days, and another,

|NEW OPINION ON' COLLEGE DEGREE.
pr. OgIiby of Trinity Mini-
 niizes Practical WOrk" 1 of College Training

Hartford, November 2. = Dr. Ren- sen B. Ogilby, president Of Trinity College, in his annual report to the trustees Saturday, stated that the tradition of sending sons of college graduates to college indiscriminately carries too much weight these days, not only for the youth brought up in a collegiate atmosphere, but also for the children of ambitious par ents who want for their descendants what they did not get. He said also that the responsibilities of a small college in New England are compl- cated by the growth of state-sub- sidized institutions and the lower ing of Standards in other sections so that students go to colleges outside the New England area.
 Trinity will resist every attempt to evaluate our degrees in terms of practical worth, and we feel no urge to offer purely technical or voca- tiorlal courses" the report continued. we accept the obligation to select and train the scholars of the future" !" OEs OSIlpy dQuCO tAlAb U4A4VCAo1vACo have become conglomeratiors of pro- fessional and graduate schools and that small college can do much to give students a general cultured education.
 The president called upon the trustees for funds to complete buildings much needed on campus. In this plea are included field house, two dormitory units, the ex- tension of the library and admins tration building, and an addition to the general endowment of $1 ,000, ,000. Reports of 57 books and papers by the faculty were also made at this time.
 The dean was able to report scholarship at a high level. with the number of honor grades the highest in recent years. The average grade attained by the college body during 1937-1938 was 75.2 per cent, the highest in three years.
