Loving and kind in all his ways,
Upright and just to the end of
his days,
Sincere and true in his heart and

A beautiful memory he left be-

A heart that was purer than gold
And to those that knew and

His memory will never grow
cold.
Loving wife and mother.

Poetic Thoughts
Mothers Vacation
BY MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

Mother is so glad the children grown,
That she's having time than she's ever known
For sister cooks and does the homework WE'LL
Brother he works and helps out a spell.
When one thinks how time has passed,
You see the knowledge they have amassed.
But of course, like all things born,
They have ways about them you grown
So when they progress in early lfe
And show that they would make good husband wife,
We know our struggles have not been in vain,
For they have proven that happiness produces pain
Out in life maybe away from home,
They have chance remember what they told
For real experience is what they'll get
When they find out there's else pay the

CAMERAS BARRED
 FROM COURT TRIAL
Judge Posts Ban on Pic- lures Being Taken,
 Sketches Drawn

Cartoonists as well as photograph CTS will be barred from applying their talents to the daily happenings in superior court, which pertain to the trial of the Waterbury conspir- acy cases.
 Chief Deputy Sheriff Daniel Cal- laham detected an amateur photo grapher and cartoonist yesterday in the act of snapping pictures of the court in session yesterday afternoon The youth was brought before Judge Ernest A. Inglis, relieved of his films, and warned that such pro- cedure would not be tolerated. The youth protested that he had no in tention of selling the pictures to any newspaper, but only wanted them as guides for his sketch.
 Judge Inglis advised Deputy Cal- lahan that in the future, artists as well as photographers must be barred.
 It is customary procedure in the Connecticut superior court to bar photographers while court is in ses- sion. From the very outset of this case, Judge Inglis has urged photo graphers even to refrain from taking pictures in the building while court is in session. In many cases the flashes can be seen in the courtroom although the picture is not being taken in the near vicinity of the room.
 Pictures may be taken in the cor- riders while court is not in session.

his feet with a counter objection. Special Prosecutor Alcorn argue l that only one attorney should par ticipate in the questioning of each venireman, and occasioned the caus- tic remark of You're not running this court" from MT. Crawford.
 "One at time," pleaded Judge Inglis.
 Undisturbed, Crawford shouted, ''The constant claim of MT. AL corn that jurors are being unfairly treated by the defense makes it more difficult to get juror in this case. No defendant will take juror who has the idea that he is being unfairly treated. I object to these repeated insinuations.
 Judge Inglis Takes Part
 Judge Inglis stated that nothing was called for at this time, and Alcorn continued in his claim that it was cross examination.
 Alcorn further objected to the

lenged by the defense. One of the principal points of her testimony was her admittance that she had visited socially, within the past 10 days at the home of Attorney and Mrs. Harold G. Ashworth. Attorney Ashworth is counsel to Defendant John B. Purdie.
 Notwithstanding the venireman claimed that such acquaintance would not prove embarrassing to her if she should be selected for the jury.
 q would be very willing to fol- low instructions, but would want to know why,'' was her commentary when asked by defense counsel how she would treat instructions from the court. She said that she would demand corroboration before ac- cepting testimony of accomplices as fact.
 Another defense challenge was utilized in the case of George Beach of Beacon Falls, who is employed as a rubber worker at Naugatuck. T don't want to get on the jury if l can keep off," was his comment. He also stated, "I- heard one radio broadcast about the case but turned it off when I found out it was Jas per McLevy speaking"
 His only interest in newspapers is contained in the sport sheets, ac- cording to his testimony. He srd- mitted reading the headlines only, concerning the conspiracy case. :.
 Seventy-five years old, ana nephew of a man who would not believe what he read in newspapers even if he knew it to be true,' G.. Fred Abbott of Middlebury, was ex- cused by the defense, after lengthy questioning. The venireman said that he would sooner not sit on the jury, but if he were chosen, would be governed entirely by the evidence presented, before making his judg- ment. He admitted having an opin- ion which would require evidence to remove, however.
 Another state challenge was re- quired to remove Louis W. Hitch cock of Wallingford, a member of the First Baptist church from the list. A fruit farmer, and former dairyman, he admitted reading some about the case, but denied having formed an opinion.
 Concerning MT. Alcorn's reputa- tion as states attorney, Attorney Murray asked, You still think it's good, don't you?"
 What would you have him think?" interposed MT. Alcorn.
 "I'd hate to tell you" said MT. Murray amid an uproar of laughter.
 Michael Petre, 68 a retired Sey- mour barber was challenged by the defense after being questioned briefly. With a heavy Italian "brogue" he explained that he had read little of the case, and had heard less on the radio, because I like to hear music most of the time."
 Although acceptable to the state. Harold E. Fowler of Guilford, a car- penter, was disqualified when chal- lenged by the defense. He said that he was too busy to read about the expose thoroughly.
 During the examination of Fowl CT, Special Prosecutor Alcorn ex- pressed the opinion, Tt is one of the highest privileges of a citizen to serve on jury"

Italy Demands German Help Against France

French as a final answer to the question of Germany's attitude to- wards the Italian issue.
 Ribbentrop gave his assurances, it was said, when Bonnet expressed to him the governments surprise at the new anti-French campaign in Italy.
 The German envoy at once said that, though the Berlin-R diplomatic axis continued as strong as ever, Germany had no part in the recent developments, it was learned.
 Bonnet and Ribbentrop arranged to issue final joint communique this evening, after further talks to- day, in development of their hope of real German French friendship based on the mo more war" dec laration which they signed at the foreign office yesterday.
 French leaders were optimistic that as the result of Ribbentrop's visit it would be possible to exist in cooperation with Germany, and they seemed to be counting on dis erect pressure on Italy by Fuehrer Adolf Hitler to terminal eItaly's campaign.
 Bonnet and Ribbentrop have talked at length of the Italian as well as other situations, and they were able to discuss economic CO., operation because Ribbentrop brought with him German economic experts. Economic negotiations are to be started here Saturday.

presence to the two counsel in the single examination, commenting that perhaps Crawford was speak ing for Slade." Here Attorney Slade voiced objection to the construction of that inSinuation.
 Attorney Slade Upheld
 The upshot of the argument was in the ruling of Judge Inglis that Attorney Slade had been proceeding upon his questioning in legal fash ion.
 He also ruled that if defense coun- sel believed in any instance that the special prosecutor was creating an unfavorable impression on a ven1re- man by his objection, then the de- fense counsel should ask him (Judge Inglis) to exercise his right of ex- cuse for cause.
 It was also stated by Judge 1ngl1s that the reason for the use of only four defense counsel i'll the ques- tioning of veniremen was in the in- terest of speed. He did not deny the right of Crawford to enter the queS- tioning which was started by Slade, but stated, Its running close to getting around the agreement"
 Crawford Recalls Something
 Crawford recalled that in the chamber session when the agree mert was made, Attorney Peck had reserved the right of other counsel to interfere ill questioning being conducted by an associate. The judge recalled that this was in the instance where the examining counsel ac- cepted, and another counsel desired to challenge venireman.
 His Only Reason
 'The only reason I rise,' said Crawford, lis to speed the process of getting a jury" He continued his tirade on the idea of creating an impression in the mind of the ven- iremen that they were nistreated by the questions of the defense law yers.
 ''If at any time you feel that the States Attorney is creating an inn pression I suggest that you ask me to exercise my right to excuse that venireman for cause, '' commented Judge Inglis as he sus- tained Attorney Shades questioning, and ordered MT. Stuart to answer the question to which MT. Alcorn had objected.
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn would have accepted MT. stuart, but he was challenged by the defense.
 68 Veniremen On Hand
 As the sixth day of the dramatic trial opened today, 68 veniremen were present, including 15 women August H. Wallace of West Haven was immediately excused by the court and without examination, after he told Judge Inglis that he knew one of the defendants.
 Another man, Herbert Wells o1 Southhury was excused only for the day, and will report tomorrow.

dividing commissions in the Park way sales was continuation of similar arrangement between Cooke and Kemp in other transactions, Wold answered:
 q dcn't think I can answer that question yes or mo-"
 Concerning erasureS on the firms ledgers, which the state claimed were made to substitute Cooke's name for that of Kemp with regard to com- mission payments, Wold said Cookes name had been written in on two oc- casions but he could not remember whose name had been erased.
 Four bank employees identified de- posit slips of Kemp and Samuel H. Silberman, Stamford real estate broker with whom the land agen also was accused of having Spl commissions.
 Maurice Erickson, Norwalk, who sold property to the state for $18,- 800, testified he paid Silberman $925 commission, that Kemp came to see him before the sale but that he was uncertain whether it was before or after Silbermann had been retained as his broker.
 The prosecution was endeavoring to show that Kemp had tipped" brokers as to the route of the park way before negotiations were start ed to acquire the rights-of-way and in return for this information con- spired with them to share in the commissions.

for "the call,' many sit around and chat, others read, and in many cases the remaining women have commenced to bring their knitting.
 Commissioner Harry Minor was the first defendant to enter she courthouse this morning. He ar rived shortly after 9:30 o'clock. It has been customary for him to be among the first arrivals from the start.
 Judge Ernest A. IngIis is also a very early arrival each morning, despite the fact that he cOmmutes from Middletown, his home.
 Although defense counsel deny it is their intention to keep women of the jury panel, it is noticeable that of the 13 women disqualified thus far, the majority have been by the defense. The state would have accepted at lease one woman.
 Mayor Hayes again was among the early arrivals today. Again he took over his regular seat and read a newspaper until court was called to order.
 Spectators have not viewed the trial thus far in any great num- Der. Again today there was plenty of vacant seats, and those occu- pied were taken for the most part by attorneys.
 Attornel James D. C. Murray is suffering from slight cold, and his voice is h0arse as he ques- tions each venireman.
