THE AVERAGE AMERICAN AND THE EUROPEAN EMERGENCY

Aside from the Presidents messages urging peace, 1t is general impression that this country not very much concerned in the recent Czechosovakia emergency overseas now that it is under adjustment without open clash of need not worry much about it.
 But there is strong evidence that have not yet felt the reaction in America of the crisis in Europe clue to what we may anticipate be found in a news dispatch from Washington yesterday in which it was pointed out that Congressional tax experts studying several proposals for increasing income taxes to finance expanded armament program
 There is the kernel of the European nut The Munich pact in preserving peace at the moment revived one of the greatest armament races in all history. England France Germany, Italy, Russia and the rest of them hurried into action almost before the ink dry on the Munich agreements. Great Britain without hesitation announced gigantic armament building program Other nations doing sthe same thing. The best indication in the world that they realize they postponed war rather than established permanent peace is this armament race now in full swing.
 Is there any wonder that the Congressional perts have taken a renewed interest in national de- ,fense and considering ways and of raising money to build necessary Qualifications increase naval and air strength and generally prepare for adequate defense?
 As Senator Walsh said: Tt is quite apparent from what is happening in the world that more and attention is going to have to be given to air planes and I convinced must build up that feature Of national defense"
 Regardless of other world activity defense program is important, but with the feverish haste overseas it becomes paramount if to retain position world power and protect ourselves from foreign aggression
 And how is the average American effected by what was termed the Czechosovakia emergency? One plan under consideration by the Congressional com mittees which must raise the funds is the proposal boost the income tax ten percent basis of emergency.

CHIEF JUSTICE
 RUCC IS DEAD

 His wife, daughter and two sons were at the bedside when death came.
 Only last summer he suffered 8 similar attack of bronchial pneumo- mia and barely survived.
 Rugg's reading of the decision overruling appeals in the Sacco- Vanzetti case, though he did not write it, achieved him national prominence.
 Many of his law opinions are re- quired reading for law students in Massachusetts. These opinions be- came known for their fine knowledge of law and their oft-quoted prece- dents.
 Appointed chief justice Sept. 20, 1911, by then Governor Eugene N. Foss, Rugg later was suggested for the U. s supreme court during the administrations of Presidents Hard- ing, Coolidge and Hoover.
 When appointed associate justice of the state supreme court, Sept. 27, 1906, by former Governor Curtis Guild Jr., Rugg was the youngest man ever to hold that post. Likewise he was the youngest chief justice.
 Born Aug. 20, 1862 in Sterling, he was the son of Prentice Mason and Synthia (Ross) Rugg. In 1899, he married Florence May Belcher of Worcester. They had four children, three of whom now are living.
 Rugg graduated from Amherst College in 1883 and from Boston University Law School in 1886. In later years he was honored with law doctorates from Amherst, Har- yard, Boston University and Will Hams colleges.
 Admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1886, Rugg first was employed by Attorney John R. Thayer of Wor- cester. He was an office boy at first, but later joined in the partnership of Thayer & Rugg.
 Rugg, Republican, became presi- dent of the Worcester common council in 1895 and rose successively to assistant Middlesex district-At- torney in 1895, Worcester city solici- tor in 1897 and then to the supreme court.
 A friend and admirer of Calvin Coolidge Rugg made the Coolidge memorial address at a joint con- gressional session Feb. 6, 1883.
 Most referred to among opinions written by Rugg are sections relating to esthenics in law in the suits of nine advertising companies against the state public works department. This opinion, handed down Jan. 8, 1885, said in part:
 "It is, in our opinion within the reasonable scope of the police power to preserve from destruction the scenic beauties bestowed on the commonwealth by nature in con- junction with the promotion of safety of travel on the public ways and the protection of travellers from the intrusion of unwelcome adver- tising."

 TO FIND-STRIKE!

Puebla, Mexico, June 13-(UP)- A general strike was extended to- day to the towns tortilla industry.
 Women employed in mills grind ing corn for the cake, joined the strike of all unions affiliated with the regional federation of workers and peasants.
 Representative of business, work CTS and the federal government held emergency meetings to discuss the strike.

 Today, milk was distributed under the direction of federal soldiers. No meat was available. Other stalls in the market were open, but prices were high. Motion picture theaters maintained operation but had little business.
 Labor representatives predicted early settlement after reporting re- ceipt of a message from Gov. Avila Camacho of Puebla state allegedly recognizing the workers right to strike.

of those under arrest as result of the grand jury's charges and rec concentrations. Tuesday, June q has been set by Judge Ernest A. Inglis as the final day for filing motions attacking the informations of the bench warrant under which the 26 have been arrested to date.
 No Motions Yet
 No motions have been filed as yet, but there, is expectation that there will be several filed, taking is- sue with the procedure and legality of the probe, and perhaps seeking a change of venue for the trials.
 Groundwork for the probe of the 1887 election was set June 1-just before the adjournment when the jury questioned Republican town Committee Chairman J. Warren Upson; Democratic Town Commit tee Chairman John H. Crary and Rev. Bonnie w. Crowder, pastor of the Zion Baptist church. David Queen" Scully and Atty. Frederick Palomba were also called by the jury. All of course are subject to recall.
 Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn and his entire staff, who have been actively engaged during the past two weeks in the prosecution of criminal matters in the Hart ford superior court, will return to Waterbury tomorrow with the grand jury. County Detective Ed ward J. Hickey and George L. Greer planned to be in Waterbury today, undoubtedly for the purpose of sub poening witnesses and preparing the stage for tomorrow's procedure.

Collier had said he hoped to collect the money.
 Shortly after daybreak Saturday, he left here and headed toward Buena Vista peak. He fell into 8 stream that day and returned to Yosemite for a new pair of shoes.
 Sunday he started again toward the peak, which is 12 to Is miles east of this town, and about 60 miles almost directly north of Fresno.
 In the afternoon he found bits of wood on the mountainside which marked trial to the wreckage.
 He had to pick his way through snow, around jagged crevices and dangerously loose rocks to proceed upward.
 He was 20 yards from the main part of the plane when he saw and recognized it.
 T had found bits of the plane as I made my way up," he said. Be low, I could see where two pine trees had been broken off as the plane plunged toward the ground.
 He looked into the fuselage and countde all the bodies he could see but did not disturb them, he said. He saw brief case bearing the ini- tials of Salisbury and pilots cap. He picked up both these articles and took them to the rangers office as proof of his discovery.
 Today he was directing the party from ehere. The posse was under of L. A. Merriam, super intendent of Yosemite National park.
 The main body of men in the posse came from Yosemite, nearby on horseback. Wawona is as far as the roads are open to traffic and here the men put on skis for the rest of the trip. It will be late in the afternoon before they can reach the mountain pea where the plane is.

HARTFORD PROBE

Different from the practice now exemplified by the two grand juries which have been operating at Wa terbury and at Bridgeport is the method of Prosecutor Holden. He has used the regular city depart mental stenographers and clerical employees to prepare his case against the four coal company officials bound over to superior court Sat- urday. He has used regular police officers.
 This brought up speculation as to probable costs to the state of the grand jury actions now pending in New Haven and Fairfield county. At Waterbury, where Special Prose- cutor Hugh M. Alcorn, ST., states attorney for Hartford county, is functioning, the costs are mounting as the investigation goes into its thirteenth week tomorrow.
 While Prosecutor Alcorn has been engaged in the Waterbury inveSti- gation, Prosecutor Holden has de- veloped a situation n Hartford county which properly would come under the states attorneys office here. In Waterbury, Lawrence L. Lewis, the former New Haven states attorney at Waterbury, resigned af- ter being censured in the Acorn grand jury report which called for arrest of 27 persons later resulted in arrest of five more, one of whom, former Senator Nathan A. Spiro, a of Danbury, pleaded guilty and, on recommendation of Prosecutor Alcorn "he has been very helpful to the inyestigation"-was fined the amount of his bond, $1,- 800, by special agreement.
 Cost of the Waterbury grand jury at present is estimated at around $2O, ,O00, exclusive of MT. Alcorn's fee which, some reports indicate, will more than double the present ex- cense totals.

YELLOW RIVER
 IS ON RAMPAGE

which gives it its name, is 30 feet above the level of the plains at the normal high water mark.
 It happened, however, that tor rential rains in western China had swollen the river for many days past.
 Today, the Chinese charged that the Japanese artillery and airplane bombardments on the central front had weakened the dykes so that the flood waters broke through. The Japanese charged that Chinese troops were supervising gangs Of farmers in breaking the dyes at se- lected points.
 At any rate, the Dykes had been broken in the Kaifeng area between Suchow and Chengchow, and the river, having broken southWard threatened to block the path of Japanese units moving west and force them many miles farther south in their drive on Hankow.
 Working with fragmentary, un- confirmed reports, river experts said that if it was true that at one point the dyke was broken along a one mile reach, it was certain that thousands of square miles of terri tory would be flooded and that the loss of life might reach into the millions eventually.
 Neutrals expressed belief that the breaks in the dykes were due part ly to the Japanese shelling, partly to deliberate destruction by the Chinese in pursuit of the scorched- earth policy which they have adopt ed in their extremity, confident that the latent, almost unlimited power of their spraWlwing country and their hundreds of millions of people will beat Japan, in year or century.
 Such detailed reports as there were indicated that the river was really on the rampage this time.
 Chinese sources heard that floods were raging west of Chengchow, and that they were affecting the Lunghai railroad already. They as- serted that thousands" already had been affected in the Honan basin, that thousands of farmers were homeless and many drowned, that a 10-mile Waterhead was gushing southward, tending to flood the whole area between the Yellow Ri- yer and the Hwai River, 175 miles to the south. They charged that Japanese had cut the dykes at four places west of Chengchow to hind CT Chinese operations.
 They asserted that an area of 200 square miles about Chungmou, southeast of Chengchow, was flood ed and that some village were un- der water while the suburbs of oth- CTS were inundated. They said that water was 10 feet deep at Paisha, that already 700 men of Japanese Gen. Kenji Doihara's division had been drowned. that some of Doiha- ra's men were without supplies or means of retreat, and that there was one four-mile break in the dykes.
