NATIONALISTS IN
 SMASHING DRIVE

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, July 11.-UP)-Nationalist forces prepared today to sweep down the Espadan mountain slopes toward Segorbe, key to the Loyalist defense of Valencia.
 An insurgent victory at Segorbe would enable them to move down the railroad and highway connect ing Teruel and Sagunto, the city which they have set as their i'm mediate objective on the drive on the former capital. They hoped to capture the city, an important steel center by July IT, second anni- versary of the war.
 On the coast, the Nationalists claimed the capture of Moncofar, small port four miles south of Mules which they took last Friday.
 The Nationalists still faced some of the strongest Qualifications ever built by the Loyalists during the war. As usual, their operations were preceded by widespread aerial bombings.

(Continued from Page D making money might have gone fol a long time without being discov- cred. But Smart pushed his luck too far, Pitts said. He was arrest ed on charges preferred by Mayer and, Pitts said made complete confession.
 Three years ago Smart, who wore tailored clothes and trimmed mustache, came to Hollywood. He got job at Metro Goldwyn- Mayer as $48 per week sound techn!cian and moved his wife and two daugh- ters into home at Westwood Vil- lage, one of the swankiest of the film colonies.
 A year later, in 1936, Fits said, Smart decided to defraud some of Hollywood's brainiest men. His weekly $48 hardly kept him in neckties, much less paid his rent, authorities said. Pitts charged that he represented himself as Mayors confidential agent.
 Through his next door neighbor Smart met President Aubrey Aus tin of the Santa Monica State Bank and negotiated $1O,000 loan on a note which Pitts said bore the forged signature of Mayer. Smart told the banker that Mayer had plenty of money, but wanted to pay Miss Mcdonald secret bonus. It was so secret, Mayer would deny all knowledge of the deal, if ap- preached, Smart said.
 Austin handed over the $lO,OO0, Pitts continued. A few months la ter, he said, Smart paid back the loan-having floatcd another one with Charles D. Case, one of his neighbors, for $l5,000 This sum, Smart said, would unable Mayer to give Eddy secret bonus.
 Smart's next transaction, he told Pitts, was his best.
 He borrowed $25,000 on another forged note, so that Actor Laugh ton could have a bonus. He bor- roWed the money from Gail Burck, attorney. Smart said E. B. Morgan and R. w. Grigg, investment brok- CTS, examined the deal and ap- proved it.
 Smart confessed further, Fits said, that when Burck wanted Mayer to sign new note for the $25 ,000, he had the lawyer mail the blank document to Mayors home. Smart said he hurried to Mayors house, talked Negro chauffeur into handing him the letter, signed Mayors name to the note. and mailed 1t back to Burck.
 Burck still wasn't satisfied He wanted to talk to Mayer. Smart said he fixed a telephone line whereby Burck talked not to Nav CT, but to Britton, who imperson- ated Mayer. That satisfied Burck and the money was forthcoming
 Last Saturday Smart tried to bor- row $37,500 from Attorney Max Fink with which to pay back the other. Fink refused. By then Mayer had heard of the proceed ings and notified authorities

CUMMINGS WILL
 FIGHT LONERCAN
Continued from Page D

consistent supporter of workmen,s legislation and frequently has met with machine opposition in his cam- paigns. Only last week Mayor Thomas A. Spellacy, Hartford, old guard leader, came out against Kop- plemann and in favor of Lonergarl, 1t was noted.
 Lonergan Splits Labor
 Lonergan repeatedly has stated his approval of New Deal aspirations but has opposed administration leg islation on many occasions. He re- gently was endorsed by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, but local labor unions, angered at what they considered premature" endorse ment, adopted resolution support ing Kopplemann. The looming Lon- ergan-Kopplemann battle forced a growing division in the Democratic party between left and right wing elements. On Saturday Labor Con- missioner Joseph M. Tone, another New Dealer, announced his candi- dacy for heutenant-governor, accen- tuating that division. Tone. like Kopplemann, almost always has met machine opposition in his cam- paigns. Political observers noted at once 1t probably was inevitable an alliance would be consummated be- tween the two men if the New Deal decided to fight Lonergan actively.
 MoNa;I Cftu yu x,,nrl
 Meantime, former National Con- mitteeman Arch ib aid McNeil, Bridgeport, continued actively to seek aid for his senatorial candi- dacy, which he announced two weeks ago. He has obtained scattered SUD- port from small communities. Party leaders, although considering McNeil as series" in his efforts to gain the nomination, continued to say he had no chance to win 1t. Certain anti Lonergan groups, they said, would fail to unite behind McNeil. Left wing circles pointed out Gov. Will bur L. Cross realized he needed New Deal supporters on the state ticket this fall when the executive told Young Democratic group late last week he favored nomination of New Deal supporters on the congressional slate.
 The governor named no names.

 T will be active for the passage and strengthening of liberal labor legislation" he said. q believe my record as chairman of the state NRA board, where 68 strikes and many other labor disputes were settled with the workers in every instance getting an increase in pay and shorter hours, guarantees this
 Dolan said his platform also would include support of government re- organization, federal control of pow CT rights, tax reduction, legislation to increase foreign trade and con- tinuation of the administration's reciprocal trade and continuation of the administrators reciprocal trade policy.

No Collision Found
 In Property Sale
Local Plaintiff Given Verdict of $l 279 Against Litc-
 field Bank-Charge of Fraud Dismissed

Judgment of $l,279.15 was entered In the Court of Common Pleas by Judge Edward J. Finn today, in favor of Mike Kochuk of Water bury against the Brooks Bank & Trust company of Litchleld. Kochuk is . former resident Of Litchfleld.
 Other defendants in the action John and Mary Labaha, former partners of Kochuk in a farming endeavor, were upheld in the deci- sion.
 The plaintiff claimed damages of 5000; an order to set aside the sale of his property by the Brooks Bank and Trust company to Mir. and Mrs. Labaha, and an accounting of the farms operations from the Labahas.

He charged that he had been defrauded by the sale of his interest in the farm by the bank, at the time he was recup- erating at the Middletown Hospital

for the Insane.
 "It is my conclusion that the plaintiffs infirmity has led him into an honest but mistaken belief that he has been defrauded," comments Judge Finn in dismissing all the plaintiffs charges that collision ex- isted between the bank and the Labahas in the sale.
 Kochuk charged that he really owned a half interest in the farm although his deeds of conveyance only recorded one-fourth interest Judge Finn says that the original deed of conveyance was drawn by Judge Hubbard-an able and true lawyer" and therefore there was no grounds for such charges
 Kochuk was sent to Middletown August 30, 1885 and the property was sold the following May II. Judge Finn says in his memorandum of decision that all charges of cruelty which Kochuk brought against the Labahas are unproven.

 First Employment Increase
 Meanwhile, the first increase in employment in several months was noted at the Waterbury Clock Co.,, where several scores of workers, laid off the last of the year, were called back today. These were in addition to the employees who have been working these last months but who had been on a weeks vacation.
 Other plants to which employees returned today after weeks vaca- tion are the Farrel Foundry & Ma chine Co.,, Lux Clock Co.,, Shoe Hardware Co.,, Benrus Mfg Co.,, and the Waterbury Tool Co.
 Officials of various of tr""- con- cerns concurred with MT. Goss in his views of the business situation locally. There seems to be a gen. eral stirring of new business de- mand but the volume has yet to meet the mark where production schedules will show sharp increase within the next few weeks, was the consensus.
