Notifications also were a big factor in plans for an "axis" also-the de- fense lines on either side of the 875 mile Polish-RusSian frontier.
 This 875 mile stretch is only part of Russia's frontier, extending from the White Sea to the Black Sea via the Baltic and reputed to be almost impregnable to any attack from Europe.
 The Polish-Russian frontier is marked by parallel lines of barbed wire, one Polish, the other Russian, with a 12-foot mo mans land" in between.
 There is great secrecy regarding Russia's defenses. Some say the Rus sian defense zone is the deepest and widest in the world, extending back 90 miles and full of military traps of nightmare like haracter-buried mines, camouflaged swamps, great tracts of quicksand- soil capable of swallowing regiments. However much fiction was mixed with fact, it seemed certain that the Russian frontier was one of the most strong ly guarded in the world, and that frontiers opposite other countries were guarded almost as closely as

SENATE COMMITTEE ELIMINATES TAX
(Continued from Page D

of the house approved tax bill.
 The committee placed in the bill a provision to tighten the tax bur- den of corporations with net in- comes under $25,O00. Under the provision such corporations would be allowed to deduct the difference between their income and $25, ,00C before computing the IS per cent tax.
 For example, Harrison pointed out, a corporation has an annual net income of $10,O0O. The corpor- ation would be given a credit fo 10 per cent of the difference between $1O,000 and $25, ,000-which would provide 8 credit of $1,500. This would be subtracted from $10,00O and the tax would be imposed on the remainder, $500.
 The $8,5OO would be subject to the tax rate of IS per cent.
 Majority Leader Alben w. Bark ley, D., Ky, and Sen. Tom Connally D., Texas, Robert J. Bulkley, D., O.. and Robert M. LaFollette, F., Wis. voted against elimination of the un- distributed profits tax.
 With the full committee in at- tendance, there were IT votes in favr of the elimination.
 Harrison said that IS members of the committee favored the IS per cent rate: one voted for an 1872 per cent rate, and one for 1T per cent rate.

 war was a test of supply, aviation and the mechanical forces. Foreign observers estimate MusSolini has sent 2,000 planes to Spain to aid rebel Generalissimo Francisco Fran co.
 Italy is more thar "boot in the Mediterranean" now; she is an en- pire, and to protect that empire she is expanding her armed forces to challenge Britain's dominance along the water route that Italians call mare nostrum"-our sea. Ap- parently most of her reliance will be placed on airplanes and submarines.
 Conservative observers say that Italy now has 5000 planes, 2,000 of which are transports and auxiliary ships. The air ministry has $500 pilots in active service and 5000 more trained flyers could be called out on a days notice. By 1941, ac- cording to trustworthy information, Mussolini expects to have 5000 com- bat planes ill service, most of them high-Speed, long range bombers.
 Particular attention is being paid to submarines, apparently on the theory that they are formidable weapons in the calm Mediterranean. She has 120 in service already and by 1941 will have ITO.
 The nation now has 600,000 regu- lar troops under arms in Italy and the colonies. In addition, there are 100000 armed militiamen available. Back of that is a vast trained re- serve of 5,5000O0 and by calling up fresh classes of recruits, Mussolini could add another 100000 to his legionS. Italians under faScism be- gin marching and drilling as early as eight years of age and no youth ever gets entirely away from the martial spirit.
 During the current financial year she will place under construction 100000 tons of fighting craft. It will include two super r-dreadnaughtS of 35, 900 tons each which, for time at least, probably will be the most powerful fighting ships in the world.
 Italy's regular defense budget for the current fiscal year is $305, ,000, ,000 but the government would not hesi- tate to call for special appropria- tion if needed.
 Civilians have not been forgotten in the midst of all this war-like preparation. The government is stor- ing cereals as insurance against pos sible bad harvests. Use of coal, a precious commodity in this nation, is being reduced by identification of railways and industry. Within a few years the nation expects to manufacture synthetic rubber and cellulose and artificial wool already is being made from milk. Scientists are trying to find substitutes for oil and war metals, but much work re- mains to be done.
 The national air defense union has taken a census to determine which residents shall be allowed to remain in large cities during air raids. All others have been instructed when and how to leave.

 Parish Organizer
 The youngest of the English speaking parishes of Waterbury, SS Peter and Paul's, was established on April 15, 1920, with Father Mulcahy as it's first pastor. Under his energetic guidance a church, rectory, school and convent were constructed and the parish developed into one of the most poplar and active in that city.
 On October 29, 1886, Father Null cahy won distinction when he was made exeminer of the clergy by episcopal appointment.
 Father Mulcahy is a nephew of the late Rev. John A. Mulcahy, V.G., one of the very first builders of the Catholic church in this diocese.
 Since the founding of St. Joseph's college in West Hartford, Father Mulcahy has been one of it's most constant supporters. Sister Mary Consuela, B.A, of the college fac- ulty, is his sister.

Francis, Naugatuck, November 16 1929. On July 28, 1894, he was ap- pointed pastor of St. Michaels, Wa terville, where he has been ever since. AS a neighbor of Waterbury his close knowledge of SS. Peter and Paul parish qualities him as an able successor to Father Mulcahy.
 Rev. Francis c. Higgins
 The Rev. Francis c. Higgins was born July 3, 1893, at Pawcatuck, (Westerly) Conn, and attended St. Michael's school there. He made his preparatory studies at St. Thom- as Seminary and later went to St. Mary's Seminary, Baltimore, Md. He was ordained October 20, 1918, at St. Joseph's Cathedral, Hartford.
 On November 25 of the same year, Father Higgins was made aS- sistant pastor at St. Patrick's, Wa terbury.

from the city over the period 1931- 1887, for making a study of utility rates.
 That the jury is doting on that utility subject is easily seen. Charles J. Allen, district manager for the Connecticut Light & Power Com pany, was called before the jury at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and when he was dismissed he did not have the packet of papers which he bore as he entered.
 O'COnnOr Witness
 Charles s. O'Connor, corporation counsel for the past IA years, and an affiliate of the city's legal staff for 25 years, was another witness before the jury yesterday. He made his first appearance at 1:30, was excused at 2:15, returned again at 3 o'clock and was excused for the day at 6:30 yesterday.
 Attorney Levy spent the whole day in or in the vicinity of the grand jury room. He left with his wife and mother-in-law at sos. Special Prosecutor Alcorn indicated that all three have been dismissed for the time being.
 Charles E. Williamson, Bridgeport attorney, was also called back be- fore the jury in another surprise move last night. He arrived at about 5:30 and within Is minutes Harry E. Mackenzie, who spent the larg- est part of the day before the jury, was excused.
 Williamson Last
 MT. Williamson was the last wit ness to remain, and even after the jury had left he was still closeted with Detective Edward J. Hickey. MT. Alcorn has indicated that he has finished his querying of MT. Mac kenzie and MT. Williamson for the present.
 Practically all witnesses who formed the nucleus of the inveSti- gation during the past week have been dismissed flor the present" This would indicate that the jury will start on a new track in it's probe of municipal and lobbying affairs.
 Mrs. Levy and Mrs. Rosenblatt were brought to the courthouse shortly before o'clock by Detective George Greer, who was sent for them at 2:30 o'clock. AS Greer left the scene, Detective Hickey and MT. Levy also drove away in another car. The latter two returned two hours later, however.
 Smith Out of State
 Attempts to reach Collector of Internal Revenue Thomas s. Smith today for information pertaining to the two federal income tax bureau who were at the court house yesterday, were futile. Nature of the business of the men at the court house yesterday was likewise a mystery.
 An attache of MT. Smiths office in Hartford said that the two men were not from the Connecticut divis- ion. She also said that MT. Smith had left the state yesterday on busi- ness and would not return until some time tomorrow. She was posi- lively certain, however, that MT.
