YOUNG WOMAN IS
 DARING BANDIT

Cambridge, Mass, Aug. 17.-UP) A comedy young woman who slap ped a gasoline station attendants face fast night and with two accom- plices robbed him of $1l was sought today. The robbery occurred at the dinner hour while hundreds of per- sons were passing the station, sit- uated on a main highway opposite police station. John A. Mac Naught Jr., 18 of 1006 Furnace Brook Parkway, Quincy, was alone in the station when the woman and two men he described as twins entered.
 The woman, wearing bright yell low dress, glanced around, then pointed to safe and demanded: "Open it up!" There's nothing in it. MacNaught replied, but the re- quest was repeated, "It's open-go look for yourself" MacNaught said.
 At this the woman struck him on the face and one of her companions drew a pistol and rapped Mac- Naught on the head. As the youth lay on the floor. the men ransacked the safe and finding nothing took a wallet containing $ll from Mac Naught's pocket and escaped in an automobile.

Broadside of State Tax Official Scores His Predeces sor for Changes Made-Shows Up Part
 of BIOdgett Record

Hartford, Conn.,. Aug. 17.-(UP) - State Tax Commissioner William H Hackett returned a broadside today to the charges of his predecessor William H. Blodgett, that inefflciency and extravaganza is rampant in the tax department and that "nepotism Is exalted"
 Hackett, a Democrat, succeeded Blodgett, a Republican, in 1883 Since then, Blodgett charged, the department has obtained numerous deficiency appropriations, increased it's personnel by 150 per cent and hired former brick mason for one of the key jobs.
 Hackett said today that increased administration costs were due to new duties imposed upon the depart ment by the legislature, such as the collection of the new corpora ton business tax and the new cig- arette tax"
 No Adequate Funds
 The legislature, he said, failed tc provide adequate funds to carry out the new laws. because fin estimating the cost of administration, 1t is not known what it will be-"
 During 1935-37, the commissioner declared, mot one dollar in addi- tional appropriations was authoriz- ed by the board of finance and con trol without it was first urged and recommended by the heads of the different divisions of the tax depart ment, all of which were appointed by MT. Blodgett himself"

ZIMMERMAN IS
 MUCH ASHAMED

Hartford, Conn.,, Aug. 17-(UP)- Weatherman Henry E. Hathaway hid his head in shame today be- cause his predicted temperature of 95 degrees yesterday failed to ma- terialize.
 The mercury hit a top of 92 de- grees, three degrees short of Hath away's prediction.
 The weatherman explained 1t this way:
 I'd have had my 95 except this alarmed New England weather changes every couple of minutes
 "As soon as set my weather for the clouds, the sun came out. If the clouds broke earlier we would have had temperatures of 98 and 99, busting all records wide open.

 Who Had Slips

BARCELONA HAS
 SOME TROUBLES
Two Members of Cabinet Get Out - MiIitarizing
 Plan DispIeasing
BY LEON KAY Limited Press Staff COrreSDOndent)

tOnltcu fTeSS StdII COTTcSpOnucHC
 Barcelona, August r.. tUP) - Premier Juan Negrin today replaced two members of the Loyalist cabinet who resigned because decree mili- tarizing all war industries and sea- ports conflicted with their ideals Of autonomous government for Cata- lonia and the Basque country. What approximated a minor ministerial crisis was reported in some Euro pean centers to involve the entire cabinet. This was untrue. Also un- true were reports of disorder in Barcelona. The city has been quiet and orderly.
 London Spoke of Executions
 Gondon rumors spoke yesterday of an execution of hostages" as the cause of cabinet crisis. These rumors were denied. It was regarded as possible, however, that there might be considerable dissention over the threatened execution of some loyalists convicted of treason able activities, including notably leaders of the trotskyist Poum party, or workers party for marxist unifi- cation. Ed)
 The cabinet ministers who resigned were Jaime Ayguade, Catalan Ma tionalist, as minister of labor, and Manuel Irujo, Basque Nationalist, as a minister without portfolio.
 Ayguade was replaced by Jose Moix Regas, unified Catalan social ist party, and Irujo by Tomas Bilbao, a Catalonian also and former consul general at Perpignan, France.
 Militarize Industries
 The cabinet at meeting August II decided to militariZe war indus tries and seaports in the interest of efficiency, so as to ensure unified control. Ayguade and Irujo resigned then, 1t was disclosed, and at the same time submitted explanatory letters to the government, Ayguade's letter. to which Irujo's was similar, said:

people-not for group of individ- ualS."
 Some Good Backing
 Although no official announcements have been made he is reported to have the backing of the Irish Re- publican club and Italian Republl- can club, and as president of the Young Mems Republican club he can be certain of support from that quarter. Meetings of at least one of these clubs will be held soon to of ficially endorse Mitchell for sena- tor.
 Mi. Mitchell is native of Water bury and a graduate of the Wash ington grammar and Crosby high schools. He is employed at the LuS Clock company as an engineer ir the production department.
 Known in Athletics
 Athletically inclined, he was an or ganizer and member of the South Ends, the football team which a few years ago outclassed all competition and won the state title.
 No public statement has yet been made by Senator Lawlor as to whether he will seek renomination and election. Representative Daniel J. Mahaney, a Democrat, assistant clerk of city court, announced early this week that he will seek the nom- ination. William J. "Tipper" Conley has also been mentioned as pos sible Democratic nominee.

 "Lly late summer or early fall" Dewey said, "the number of arrests among this group of racketeers had dropped in half"
 Made brazen by the Tammany leaders support, Dewey charged, Schultz and his associates decided ito advertise the fact that Hines was behind the racket"

HARTFORD MAN
 HELD AS FORCER
Fred Kenyon Will Prob- ably Be Turned Over to
 the Capital Police

Fred Kenyon, 2l. PIP Asylum street, Hartford, who was arrested here Thursday afternoon by De- tective-Lieutenant William Foley on a forgery charge, is wanted in Hartford to face seven counts of forgery. Local police will yield jur- isdiction to the Capital City and Kenyon will be returned there. The Hartford man, who was arrested here after allegedly forging check for $l10, is wanted in his home city for allegedly forging seven checks, for total amount of $280.
 Check in Hotel Elt0n
 Kenyon presented check at the Hotel Elton last Thursday. It bore the signature of Dr. J. J. McPart- land of Hartford. The Hotel did not cash the check, and investigation by Lieut.. Foley resulted in the arrest of Kenyon. In city court this morn- ing, the local case against Kenyon was continued to Tuesday. However the charge here will probably be nolled after Kenyon is arraigned in Hartford city court. Prosecutor Benedict Holden of Hartford has forwarded warrant for Kenyon's arrest. The seven checks were al- legged forged within the past three weeks.
