A similar organization is being
direction of Mrs. Joseph M. Parvis.
Between 200 and 300 wives of vet
Grams of the World War have already
joined this campaign in Baltimore,
where two years, ago in the Roosevelt
campaign, only % women composed
the same organization working for
the reelection of President Roosevelt.
More than 400 key women workers
in the Counties are organized for Sen
,ator Tydings, while only 175 key
women workers were organized for
the Roosevelt campaign in 1886.
In Baltimore City, committee of
1,O31 women has been organized into
Tydings City Wide Women's League
and are carrying on an active cam
paign for the Senator's reelection
under the direction of Mrs. Edward J.
Colgan, Jr., wife of former Senator
Colgan of Baltimore City.
The support of John L. Lewis and
the C. 1. o. has done more to drive
the farmer vote away from Congress-
man Lewis, and to line it up solidly
for Senator Tydings. The farmers
still remember the sit-down strikes
which threw million and half men
out of employment, cutting down the
purchasing power of the people and
helping to cause the low farm prices
which are now being suffered by all
farmers in Maryland. They remem-
ber, too, the recent attempt of the
C. I. o. to organize the crab packers
in Crisfield, which ended with the fore
ed departure of the would-be organi-
zers. The support of the c. I. o. for
CONGRESSMAN Lewis is causing farm
ers and watermen already favorable
to Tydings, as well as those who were
doubtful, to flock to his standard in
large numbers.
Reports are continually reaching
Baltimore that Mr.. Lewis may lose
his home County Allegany, to Senator
Tydings. In Allegany, business peo-
pie, trades peoples and the like are
solidly behind the Senator for renomi-
nation, together with unorganized La
Dor, and large section of the A. F.
of L., who are the mortal enemies of
the C. /. o. It isn't unlikely that
Senator Tydings may carry Congress-
man Lewis own county. The Con-
gressman opened his campaign for the
Senate in Cumberland and only 450
people turned out at the meeting.
When Senator Tydings opened his
campaign in Hartford County, where
he lives, more than 5000 people turn
ed out in a driving rain storm to the
largest political meeting ever held in
any county of this State, and gave
the Senator a notable ovation.

TYDINGS MAKING
GOOD PROGRESS
IN CAMPAIGN

Few campaigns in Maryland have
met with the early success which has
attended the campaign of Senator
Millard E. Tydings for denomination
and reelection to the United States
Senate.
In the Roosevelt Campaign in 1886,
there was organized Roosevelt Vet
erans' League composed of soldiers.
sailors and marines of all our wars.
This same organization has now come
out for Senator Tydings, has opened
headquarters in the Lord Baltimore
Hotel. in Baltimore, and, to date, has
a membership of 4,416 Veterans from
all counties of Maryland and all wards
of Baltimore City organized in the
Senator's behalf.
The Veterans who have already
signed up to support Tydings, far out
number those that worked for The
Roosevelt Campaign Committee. AT
the rate new veterans are joining the
organization to make Senator Ty-
dings' victory certain, it is likely tMre
will be 10000 veterans in the Ty.
dings' Veterans League before the
Primaries are held. This will aver
age twenty-five Veterans to a. Pre-.
cinct and will be an effective force
in carrying Maryland by a large ma
jority for Tyding.
The women of veterans families
too, under Mrs. Charles Conrad, are
perfecting an organization in eacl
County of the State. So far women'E
organization are functioning in Anne

LAUDINSKAS WILL
 TO BE CONTESTED
Two Canadians Have Made Claims to Part of the
 $7,OOO Estate

Further litigation involving the estate of the late Louis Laudinskas of this city was filed in superior court today when Mary Laudinskas Skinskys and Plus Laudinskas of Montreal named Charles and Anna Besasparis and others of this city defendants in $7,000 civil action.
 The two Canadians had previously filed an appeal to superior court from the admittance to probate of the late MT. Laudinskas' will. This action is also pending trial.
 Next of Kin Claims
 As the next of kin to the deceased, they are entitled to portion of his estate, the plaintiffs allege. Laudin- skas died March 13, 1887, leaving an estate of approximately $10,000, &C., cording to the complaint. The su- perior court action is based on the allegation that the defendants pre- vailed upon LaudinSkaS three days prior to his death, and caused him to draw will ia which they were named principal. beneficiaries. The plaintiffs say the man was incapable of drawing proper will at that time.
 They also claim that they were not informed of any probate pro- ceedings which were subsequent to the mans death. Tn their previous court action. they appeal from the action of Judge Dennis J. Slavm, who admitted the will to probate April 30, 1s37. Both actions may be tried at one time.

ADOLF HITLER
 STRUCK AT EDEN
He Denounced Journalists Who Are Trying to Bring
 on Another War

Berlin, Feb. 21-(UP)-Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, in that part of his ad- dress in which he attacked the League of Nations, communism and the asserted mendaciousneSS of the foreign press, spoke contemptuously of Anthony Eden, twice mentioning him by name.
 The speech was made few hours before Eden resigned as British for eign secretary.
 Asserting that Great Britain ought to be interested ill maintain ing the status quo against com muniSm, Der Fuehrer declared:
 Crack At Eden
 Every bolSheVization in any Eu- ropean country means shifting this status quo. I know that MT. Eden does not share this opinion. MT. Stalin shares it and admits to it, and ill my opinion Mir. Stalin is still more trustworthy connoisseur and interpreter of bolshevist ideas and aims than a British minister"
 In his denunciation of foreign journalists, whose lies" he said could drive nations to another war" Hitler remarked
 Recently MT. Eden rapturously spoke about various liberties in his country. One liberty, however, was omitted-liberty for journalists un- molestedly and unlimitedly to calum- niate and def1le other nations, their institutions, men and governments" /"

 Paris, Feb. 2O.-(UP).-Anot step in Adolf Hitler's avowed inten- tion to isolate France was seen here today in the resignation of British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden, which the French press termed the most severe crisis western dem- ocracieS have faced since the war. While the French foreign office was silent, the press voiced the fear that the French foreign policy of the last two years might be shaken to its foundations by the adoption of a new British policy, which Eden's resignation was believed here to in- dicate.
 The French cabinet will meet to- morrow under Premier Camille Chautemps with President Albert Lebrun in council of ministers to study the situation and to rush credit legislation for construction of two more 35,000 ton battleships. The British cabinet crisis left France in an embarrassing position with re- spect to Austria, and particularly in reference to her ally, Czechoslovakia. whom she is bound by treaty to sup port against an aggressor. Eden's resignation left the French without

Alcorn Agents Visit
 Office OF Town Clerk
Records Kept By Former Town Clerk Dora EgaH on Making of Voters Were Taken Away to
 Be Photographed

Records kept by former Town Clerk Dora A. Egan, bearing names of persons who were made voters just prior to the last municipal elec- ton, were under scrutiny today by agents of Special Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn.
 County Detective Edward J. Hick- ey and his assistant, George L.. Greer, questioned the present town clerk, Mrs. Mary Cougnlin Kilmar- tin pertaining to the records, this morning. Later III the day MT. Greer accompanied Mrs. Kilmartin to the Gebhardt studio, where pho tostatic copies of the records will be made for transfer to Hartford.
 Work Continues
 Work also continued today on the photographing of election records of the office of City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice. The 40 books of rec ords, containing names of all who voted or had the right to vote in the last election. have been photo stated. The work today was on records of vouchers issued to per- sons whose names were not on the list, but who were eligible to vote. These records were expected to be photographed shortly after one o'clock this afternoon.
 Is Sheets of Names
 About Is sheets of names of per sons who were made voters just be- fore the election were taken from Town Clerk Kilmartin's office this morning. Each sheet contains about 40 names, and according to officials, there are about 40 more sheets of such names in the files.
 These are expected to be taken to the photographers when the first Is are completed. AS in the instance of checking the records of the city clerk, no court order from Judge Ernest Inglis was necessary, for Mrs. Kilmartin remained with the records at all times they were out of her office.

 NaziS had it their way at first. But the opposition gathered strength as rioting developed. Mem bers of the Roman Catholic Youth organization began large scale dis tribution of hand bills praising Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg. So- cialists and communist youths be- gan gathering to join in counter action against the Nazis.
 The Austrian Youth" sub organization of the governmental fatherland front, began its pro- Nazi orientation with an issue of pamphlets emphasizing Nazi-like nationalism, and failing to mention Christianism or Catholicism which had been mentioned unfailngly heretofore in all declarations.
 These portentous developments occurred as the Nazi youths shout ed inside the university. Then the Nazis, after a staff conference, de- cided to evacuate. They dropped from the building and started a march toward the inner city, with police trying to disperse them and prevent a growing threat to order.

PLEASED
 EDEN RESIGNED
He Has Fought RecOgni= ton of Ethiopia-Other
 Nations Active in Crsis

Rome. Feb. 21-(UP)-Italian po- litical quarters were delighted today with the resignation of Anthony Eden as foreign minister in the British cabinet, hailing it as "an- other victory" for Benito Mussolini.
 Eden, because he has opposed rec ognition of Italy's conquest of Ethi- opia and his part in organizing League of Nations sanctions at the beginning of that war, is regarded by Italians an outstanding enemy.
 Official quarters refused comment, taking the position that it was an internal affair of another country and hence no affair of the Italian government. But it was reported in reliable quarters that the govern ment might express its mind in statement in the semi-offlcial pub lication Diplomatic Information" soon.
 The news of Eden'S resignation, coming immediately after Adolf Hit ler's speech, created muc hexcite- ment. It was believed here that Hit lers speech had hastened Eden's withdrawal because Hitler made plain that the Rome Berlin axis was stronger than ever. These political observers believed that the British cabinet has come to the conclusion

Overexpenditure of City Budgets to Be Shown
 When Officially Made
ROWLAND AUDIT FAR
 OW THAT AMOUNT
afIi.e lgen Accountant concern Has Just COm=
 pleted Work in Office

Over-expenditure of Water bury'S budgets to a total of approximately $6O0,000 will be shown III the report of Griffenhagel & Associates, Ltd, the concern which just has completed an audit of the 1887 accounts, The Democrat learned today from an unofficial source. This figure is nearly double the $330,000 which was dded up by accountants, working or Controller Sherwood L. Rowland nd reported at several meetings ince the Republican official took flee, Jan. 3.
 Whether this audit report will be resented today at the special leeting of the Board of Finance 3 o'clock was not known this oon. Whether the deficit" it is
 ported to show represents over expenditures carried through the eight years of former Controller Daniel J. Leary's tenure, likewise was not divulged.
 Rowland Audit Lower
 From reliable authority, The Dem ourat derived information that the figure offered by Controller Row land is far under the amount the Griffenhagen accountants find as either a deficit or a combination of over-expenditure which have carried through successive administrations. How this last would come about is not explained. But one explanation of the report might be analysed as showing that various bonds ordered sold in years before 1885 have not been issued, the expenses of various projects having been charged to the general fund.
 Criticism in Report
 In the report of James G'Robin- son, partner in the Griffenhagen firm, 1t is understood. that there exists criticism of various function ings of the administrations finan- cial program. Among these is the raising of question concerning the annual audits of the George A. Kingsley & Company accountants, currently engaged by the city. This concern has audited the accounts for ten years and an accountantcy company which merged with Kings ley & Company handled city ac- counts for the 10 years previous to that time, starting during the ad- ministration of the late Mayor VII liam H.

Twelve Hours After Eden Was JettisOned Former
 Conferred With Italy
RESIGNED CABINET
 MEMBER TELLS STORY
Commons Hears Him as It Did Others; But Peace
 With Italy Seems Near
BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent

BY RICHARD D. MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent
 London, Feb. 21-(UP)-- The Britis h government, having jettisoned Anthony Eden as foreign secretary, moved swiftly today for an agreement with Italy. Within 12 hours after Eden had resigned, Prim e Minister Neville Chamberlain received Dino Grandi, Italian am- bassador, and was informed, &C., cording to an unimpeachable source that Premier Benito Mussolini has accepted propositions which Cham berlain had conveyed to Rome last Friday. The terms of Mussolini's acceptance were not revealed, but it was believed MusSolini agreed to immediate. direct negotiations be- tween London and Rome on the basis of Chamberlain's plans to sidetrack the question of volunteers in Spain and certain other issues, in order to achieve speedy pact which most likely would involve British recognition of the Italian conquest of Ethiopia.
 EncOy Going To Rome
 Diplomatic quarters believed the next move by Chamberlain would be to send an envoy to Rome, prob ably Sir Robert Vansittart, perma- nent under-f foreign secretary.
 The Italian embassy was in almost constant communication with Rome, arranging for the formal opening of negotiations.
 In the wake of Fuehrer Adolf Hitler's speech and the dramatic resignation of Eden and Viscount Cranborne, parliamentary foreign undersecretary, interest centered on the house of commons, where a chamber crowded to capacity met to hear the official explanations of the crisis.
 Special precautions were taken to guard against demonstrations inside or outside the house While Grandi was with Chamberlain, a crowd of several hundred in Downing street was kept moving by police.
 Eden Reveals Reason
 Capt, Anthony Eden told a crowd ed. attentive house of commons to- day that he had resigned as foreign secretary because he could not agree that Italys attitude makes it ad- visable to hold a conference on bet ter relations between Italy and Brit ain at present.
 Eden implied that he feels Italy and Germany are violating interna- tional agreements.
 We are in the presence of the progressive deterioration of respect for international obligations" he de- clared.

NCHItcu EEtSS Stdh SOAACSpoiiuChIJ
 Washington, Feb. 21-(UP)--Unit- ed States foreign policy, based pri- marily on low-tariff economies and good neighbor' relationships but dominated just now by big navy defense program, stands unchanged today by spectacular European poli- tical events. Officials did not care to comment beyond that on the biz diplomatic week end.
 Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitlers re- statement of Nazi expansion aims should not, however, have surprised the state department in view of re- ports understood to have been sub- mitted by William E. Dodd before he resigned as United States ambas- sador to Germany.
 Dodd's reports, possibly discounted by the state department because of his anti-Nazi sympathieS, are be- lieved to have fixed the limits of Hitler,s European ambitions consid- erably beyond the scope of Der Feuhrer's address yesterday to the Reichstag in Berlin.
