 VICTIMS OF ATTACK

ing the integrity of the priesthood and the sisterhood and the sanctity of the home"
 The nun from whom the veil was ripped was Sister St. John, one of the oldest Catholic teachers in Providence. She was placed under a doctors care. The other two nuns were Sisters St. Francis and St. Catherine. All were of the order of Notre Dame.
 Screamed Allegiance
 Police were informed that the woman screamed her allegiance to the communist party as she at- tackled the nuns. She was described as about 35 and of foreign extrac- ton.
 Bishop Keough also blamed com munists for indecent literature that he said was flooding the state. -
 I'm going to attack this evil pub licly very soon," he said, land I'm going to attack individuals for the stand they are t..',ing, because 1t is nothing but the cheapest kind of cheap politics.
 We are in a dangerous period. When I started this campaign against obscene literature, did it because it constitutes a real dan ger took one glance at the filthy magazines, and then made up my mind-they must go."
 Similar Happening
 Saturdays attack on the nuns re- called similar occurrence of a decade ago. At that time the assail- ant subsequently, was identified as a demented woman with an anti Catholic complex. After examination by psychiatrists, she was commit ted to an insane asylum. Authorities were checking records to ascertain whether she had been released and was perhaps responsible for the more recent attack.

came on the heels of definite infor- nation that records of transactions between the city and the Geghan- Allerton Motor Company have been destroyed. The records, which were examined several weeks ago by AL corn auditors, were missing when the auditors sought to bring them to the jury's headquarters Friday.
 According to information from those close to the probe, the records would show that cars were pur- chased by the city for certain indi- viduals, and charged as accessories and repairs, etc.. Joseph Geghan, president of the old Geghan-Aller- ton company, and head of the pres ent Geghan Motors company has been subpoenaed by the jury, and will be an early witness of the We'd nesday session.
 Edward A. Madison and Henry Delvy, also aff1liates of the company have already been called as witnes- ses and have apparently testified.
 Records of Trust Co.
 The latest group of records, taken from the Waterbury Trust on Sat- urday, were packed in two cartons and a paper package. Whether or not any more records were taken from any other banks on Saturday could not be ascertained. Records ot the Citizens & Manufacturers Ma tional bank were brought to the jury last week by Carl Heebner.
 Names of witnesses other than MT. Geghan, who will appear on Wednesday could not be definitely learned today. It is believed, how ever, that all witnesses will be oi local residence. When the jury was excused last Friday, it was stipulated that they were not to resume ses- sions later than Wednesday mor- ming, but that they might be subject to recall earlier than that. It is be- lieved, however, that there will be nc session until Wednesday.
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn attended a meeting of the board of pardons al WetherSfield today.

 The Japanese retired after the British soldiers trailed along every time the Japanese attempted to es- tablish independent sentry posts. The Japanese took control of the area after the grenade exploded at 3 p. m. Sunday and retained it until early today. Hundreds of Chinese were searched and many were ar- rested.
 It was the second Japanese occu- patton of the foreign areas in the British-American zones of the set- tlem.nt within "A hours. British and American residents were resentful.
 The explosion, injuring nine Chi nese, occurred near the place where a Chinese bombed the Japanese victory parade" last December fol- lowing their occupat ton of Nanking Hundreds of Japanese arrived in motor trucks within few minutes and blocked off large areas around Nanking road near the large Chi nese Wing On and Sincere depart ment stores.
 The Japanese searched all buiId- ings over an area of more than F blocks, including the department stores and hotels. Municipal police aided them. It could not be deter mined whether they caught the grenade thrower.
 French In New Clash
 Early yesterday 8 French-Japan- csc clash was narrowly averted when Japanese, armed with rifles and ma- chine guns, invaded the French con- cession. They had heard that the Bank of China was shipping its gold reserves.
 French police reserves were dis patched to the waterfront and the concession authorities agreed to de- tain certain cargoes designated by the Japanese. For a half hour French wharf guards tensely faced the Japanese.
 The Chinese appeared to again have stalled the Japanese advance in southern Shantung province, but the latter retaliated with widespread air raids over the weekend.

 800 Agents in Italy
 Himmler, the gestapo chief. sent 500 of his agents to Italy long ago. Many of them have been wearing Fascist uniforms, cooperating with agents of the ovra in looking for po- lital refugees. Records of neWspa- per men, officials and others who will be near the chifetains have been examined. Several German Jewish and anti-Nazi newspapermen have been quietly invited to leave Rome in recent months.
 Foreign newspapermen have been asked to fill out long questionnaires and submit them with two photo- graphs to the authorities. Six other photographs are required for press cards incident to the Hitler visit. During HitIer's Visit
 During Hitler's visit no private in- dlividual will be permitted to receive & boarder or lodger without notify ing the police.
 Fascist officials have denied stout ly the recently published reports that thousands" of persons have been detained for safe keeping in an- ticipation of the Hitler visit. But they admit that for two weeks they have been rounding up numerous in- tellectuals. Italian, German and Aus trian Jews and others, and that non- -Fascists will be closely watched. German gestapo agents have pa- trolled the streets along with Fas- cist ovra operatives, examining pass' erSby.

other banks, including Bridgeport. New Haven and Darien institutions. Seek Payment Records
 It is believed that the collection of bank records is mainly for the pur- pose of searching out payments which were made to individuals or concerns for services to the city. All city payments are made by check, and presumably the Alcorn statisticians intend to search the bank sheets for records of city checks which were cashed.
 Checks representing payments to automobile concerns, attorneys, con- tractors, lobbyists and others aside from the regular payroll records are without doubt the prime concern of the record searchers.

 Last Were In Winter
 With another two months of spring and the long summer ahead some Nationalist sources were con- fident that two-thirds of final victory would be won and the last third virtually won" by winter.
 The battle for the Mediterranean areas, extending along front over 370 miles long, has been divided into two main sectors since Catalo- mia has been isolated from the rest of Loyalist Spain.
 From the French border to an estuary of the Erbo off TortoSa, the front line extends about 215 miles, most of which has natural defenseS. The rivers and streams are wide, ranging from 100 to 700 feet.
 From the coast north of CaStellon De La Plana to a position south of Teruel the second sector is about 155 miles long with bitterly tested pocket northeast of Teruel.
 Military authorities said that such extension of the, lines benefited Franco, permitting him to choose sectors where he may undertake either surprise moves or diversions.
 Take Their Choice
 Hendaye, French-Spanish Front fer, May 2-(UP)-Members of the Loyalist International brigades who sought refuge in the tiny republic of Andorra were given their choice by French Mobile guards today of returning to their native lands or enlisting in the French foreign le- zion.
 Several hundred Loyalist volun- teers fled into Andorra and refused to return to Spain. Many were be- lieved ready to enlist in the legion rather than face reprisals in their native lands. Poland has refused to receive the Polish volunteers. Many others were German and Italian anti-Fascists who would be imprisoned If they went to Ger many or Italy.
 Meanwhile, taking advantage of an enforced inactivity, the Nation alists were reported moving strong endorsements to the front for a new drive south along the coast as soon as the weather clears. Rain prevented all operations except ar- tillery duels along the coast.

good citizen of Germany.
 To favor the national community but to oppose the Nazi party, he said, was equivalent to favoring a fight for freedom but opposing an army.
 ITO be strong" he said, "One must root out forever the inner struggle, the watcnword must be 'ever again war but never again civil war, class struggle, controversy and quarrels." Goering, however, took occasion to say that Germany would not suffer Germans outside the Nazi Reich to be mistreated.
 we have proved we are able to protect our German Brethren" he said.

Arches of Gold, White

Arches of Gold, White
 Heavy imperial arches of gold and white, emblazoned with medallions and fountains of dreab-like propor- tions, lined the way.
 Imperial monuments along the route, like the Colosseum, the Arch of Titus, the forum and the obelisk were ready for floodlighting and il was arranged that the QuirinaI should resemble a huge floating palace, with 35,000 torches outlining it. The torches will be lighted simul- taneously by 180 experts.
 Along the triumphal way, in addi- ton to sea of Italian and German flags, were 80 bronze Roman calde- labra 30 feet high. Flag poles 20 feet high lined the empire way, to fly the Italian and German colors, and 100 bronze tripods 20 feet high were ready to blaze out in Hitler,s honor
 Various monuments were to be showered with flood lights of differ ent colors.
 Working for Success
 All Fascist leaders concentrated or the task of making the visit the greatest success, at the urgent de- sire of Mussolini. They were too busy to talk about, or apparently to con- slider, the actual diplomatic import ance of the visit. But the opinion is here that Mussolini is in the strong est possible position and that he will be the listener during the great CT part of any talks, because of his new British friendship treaty and the imminent prospect of a similar treaty with France. Jules F. Blon- del, French charge d'affaires, was ex. pected to confer with Count Galeaz- 20 Cianno, foreign minister, today It was forecast that the next con- versation would be deferred until after Hitler's departure May g.
 There were reports here that Hit Ter might suggest Italian German military cooperation, as an offset te the new British French agreement but that Mussolini was reluctant te consider any such cooperation.
 For this reason, i; was added Mussolini sought to speed up tht negotiations with France in order tS make himself even stronger from tht diplomatic viewpoint and to have { more solid basis for his own idea O an Italian-British- Branch German pact to keep the peace.

fiat chest, the protruding abdomen,
the weakening curves OF the spine
and faulty foot structure. These
can be corrected by the mainte-
nance of maximum health by gen.
eral exercise in the open air and
special exercises to straighten up
the back and shoulders, adequate
breathing and proper nourishment.
Special Indications Met
Besides this, several special In
dications should be met. First, is
attention to normal foot develop
ment. The normal foot of the in
fant is broad in front; toes are well
spaced, the space being greatest
between the great toe and its neigh
bor. This factor aids greatly IN
forming an adequate support for
the inner border of the foot, but
too often in childhood we see the
foot approaching the deformed
adult foot rather than that Of the
infant.
Pointed shoes, high heels, short
socks and short shoes, especially
the last two, are responsible for
this deformed foot. Crowding the
toes together with the great toe
angulated towards the others, ana
