SIX WEEKS MORE
 OF WINTER LEFT
General Thaw Last Night Cleans Streets Giving
 Motorists a Break

A touch of spring came to Water bury yesterday with April rains which turned today to April sun and clouds with temperatures striv- ing toward the 50-degree mark.
 So vanished skating, the snow, the immediate belief that old ground hog saw his shadow and so, six weeks more of winter. But many were not minded to tempt the weather authorities by taking opti- mistic belief in the permanence of this winter spring, to mix the sea- sons somewhat.
 A general thaw last night re- moved ice hazards from many city streets and suburban highways, con- ditions which have kept motorists apprehensive through the last sev- eral weeks.
 There was no immediate an- nouncement by the park department that the baseball season would open next week at the parks. Which would indicate that Waterbury has a temperate climate, but not that temperate. February blizzards, such as those of 1926, have been known to make Connecticut a winter sport center into the first roaring days of March and beyond.

 FOR CIRL'SDEATH
Highway Commission Is Plaintiff; Deceased Was
 Killed in Local Auto

The administratrix of the estate of Miss Helen Newfield of New Brl- tain, who was killed last Decem- Der { in the same accident which took the life of Alfred J. Beaulac of Willow street, this city, has filed notice that suit for 5000 will be brought against the state highway commission.
 Beaulac and Miss Newfield were killed when a car driven by the former went off the road at Milldale in Southington.
 The suit will be brought By Mrs. Anna Brennecke, widowed mother of Miss Newfield. Attorney Irving l. Rachlin is counsel.
 In the notice to Commissioner Macdonald and the Southington officials, Attorney Rachlin states:
 Failure to provide and maintain suitable and sufficient illuminated signs or lighting equipment giving warning of said junction and the accompanying left turn to be made by the traffic proceeding from Cheshire to Southington caused the car driven by said Alfred J. Beau- lac, and in which car Helen New field was a passenger, to strike a post or posts at the apex of said junction. Also, the failure to erect and maintain a suitable and contin- uous fence or guard rail at the ap-- proach to the above mentioned bridge caused the car to continue through a gap or opening in the fence into the low ground between the two highways. While proceed ing into the low ground the car turned over and caught fire with the result that Helen Newfield was burned to death"

 We, who cherish freedom and democracy above all else realize the significance of your heroic and determined fight to save the democratic institutions of your young republic from it's enemies both within and without Spain. Your struggle sets a stirring ex- ample of all democratic peoples. AS members of one democratically elected Parliament to another, we Saluate you"
 Reaction Starts
 The general secretary of the Ma tional Catholic Welfare Conference Right Reverend Monsignor Michae J. Ready, made the following con- ment on the message:
 'The Barcelona government and it's predecessors have been respon- sible for the torture and murder of thousands of bishops and priests and nuns, the dissertation and destruction of hundreds of churchs and shrines, and the com plete denial of religious freedom" he said in a formal statement.
 Further evidence of the fine democracy of the Barcelona gov ernment is seen in the suppression of freedom of the press and the denial of every other liberty the 60 signers profess to hold dear.
 No such government, whether it is legally in power or not, whe- ther it can call itself democratic or not, deserves the good wishes and moral support of any con- scious upholder of our Constitu- tion.

kopplemann Explains
 Letter To Loyalists
Catholics of State Stirred By COngratuatory Message to Spanish Reds" Reaction Becoming Nationwide

The Catholic Transcript, official publication of the Hartford diocese, today refused to accept an explain atlon from Congressman Herman P. Kopplemann of Hartford that he signed good will message" to the spanish Loyalist because he is "op- posed to any form of dictatorship" and that his "only thought was for upholding democracy. The Trans cript asserts that sending a greet ing to 8 Communist government is strange way of upholding dem- ocracy."
 Explanation
 Congressman Kopplemann tele- graphed his explanation to the dio- ceSan publication when he learned that the paper planned to comment on his joining with group of con- SreSsmen in signing the message. He wired:
 Washington, D. c. Catholic Transcript:
 am advised that you contem- plate publishing an editorial on my having signed the greeting to the Spanish Parliament. I am opposed to any form of dictator ship. My only thought was for upholding democracy, aid with the same thought signed mess age of greeting to Prime Minister Ramon De Valera of the Irish Free State for which received letter of appreciation from Minister Michael MacWhite.
 Signed:
 HERMAN F. KOPPLEMANN. Tn answer, the Transcript says:
 The following is comment enough on the COngressmalis telegram:
 I. Sending greetings to Com munist Government is a strange way of upholding democracy.
 II. There is no parallel between sending a greeting to legiti- mate, duly-eIected, ard undis- puted Government, such as that of Ireland, and felicitating a Red dictatorship imposed upon the Spanish people against their will and manipulated from outside the borders of Spain.
 AS related yesterday in The Dem ocrat, prior to the receipt of Con- ,gressman Kopplemann's telegram, The Transcript said that the Hart ford congressman's signing of the message of greeting and goodwill to 8 "notoriously anti-Catholic trump government has disturbed and deep ly offended" Catholics of Connecti- cut.
 One of 60!
 Congressman Kopplemann was one of sixty members of congress who signed the message. Origin of the greeting" is hay, various sen- atOrs and congressman having been approached by different people. Several congressman have since repudiated their signatures, stating either that they did not sign or did so with a mistaken idea of the con- tent of the message.
 The good will message" said: To the members of the Spanish Parliament, meeting in Barce- Iona, February 1, 1888:
 We, the undersigned members of the Congress of the United States, are happy to send our greetings and good wishes to the spanish Parliament on the occa- sion of its regular session, con-

PILOT ESCAPES
IN GALE CRASH

Although his small single-seated
plane was virtually demolished
when a stiff wind carried it 400
yards beyond the landing field,
Edgar Kegley, 23-year-old student
pilot, of 1857 Church st. N. w.,
escaped serious injury when he
crashed near Queens Chapel Air
port, Nd, during yesterdays
storm.
Kegley, an auto mechanic, was
attempting to bring in his plane
against the wind when he saw a
storm was about to break. Plung-
ing from an altitude of some 100
feet perilously close to overhead
wires along Queens Chapel Road,
the youthful pilot was unable to
point his plane toward the airport.
Making a pancake landing near
the airport, the planes fuselage,
wings and undercarriage we're
crumpled beyond repair. The
pilot stepped from the wreckage
unhurt, except for minor cuts on
the head. He was treated at Sibley
Hospital.

George Washington University

George Washington University
is developing a lot of William Tells.
Archery is one of the four sports
on the physical education pro-
gram for women students, and is
becoming by far one of the most
popular, with scores of the fair
goods signing up for the classes.
A range has been set up down
by the Rejecting Pool, and three
times a week the classes are held
there, with the girls becoming de-
cidedly proficient with the bow
and arrows.
Aside from the sport-and it's
a great thrill when the arrow
speeds through the air and hits
the inner ring-archery is one of
the most healthful sports in the
world.
It brings about all the muscles
into play, and makes for that
lissom figure the girls so want.
In recent years there has been
a revival of archery at the uni
verSity with tournaments being
Nheld for the fair devoteeS.
