Heads OF Audit Co.
 GiDing Testim ony

Enoch Borgnais, has allegedly fled to Sweden in violation of a subpoe- na served by an Alcorn aide.
 The jury, in only summonsing four witnesses during the morning, indicated that the four would be questioned at length. It is almost certain that the jury will question the Kingsley officials in connection with the disappearance of Borgnais, and attempt to find out if they were aware of his intentions to sail abroad.
 MT. Johnston was the first of the morning witnesses to arrive, and he entered the building almost imme- diately in front of MT. Alcorn and his staff. MT. Murray and MT. Kingsley entered more than an hour later. These three were sub- poenaed by Detective Hickey, who left Waterbury Monday afternoon for New York and remained there until last night. It was during this trip that it was discovered that Borgnais the auditor had left the country and sailed for Sweden.
 Utilities In Case
 Utilities entered the foreground of the Waterbury extraordinary grand jury again late today when George B. Browning of George B. Brown ing Incorporated of New York was called as a witness. He was accom- panied by two men, one of whom was identified as Attorney Phil Slavitz of the firm, Schechter and Sulzberger, New York, utilities law yers. ...
 A check for $4,20O was given to Browning by the city under a street lighting appropriation. There is be- lieved to be some connection be- tween him and Attorney Edward G.. Levy of New Haven, who received in the neighborhood of $100,000 from the city for making a survey of lighting rates.
 The men appeared before the jury at about 12:30 and were immediate ly excused. They will return this afternoon.
 Witnesses questioned by the jury during the morning session yester- day were the only persons recalled in the afternoon session. Not a single new witness entered the jury building after the 1 o'clock recess, with the exception of Attorney Ralph Coppeto who stopped mo- mentarily at the jury floor to ob- tain some books.
 Miss Daisy Lord, teacher at Wilby high school was excused shortly after o'clock, and is not expected to be recalled. Finance Commissioner John H. Goss, a wit ness for two hours in the morning session, did not appear after the lunch hour. Nor did Claims Attorney Vincent A. Scully, who was 10- minute witness in the morning per- iod.
 Francis Troy and John Meaney, of the Kingsley auditing concern, were other witnesses excused early from the afternoon jury sitting Others, who remained until the lat

DEMOCRATS OF
 SOUTH ATTACK

Washington, April 20 (UP) - Southern Democrats opened an at- tack on the new wage-hour bill to- day as administration leaders sought Republican support to win clearance from the House rules committee and bring the measure to the floor for consideration.
 Rep. Robert Ramspeck, D., Ga, member of the labor committee which drafted the new measure, fil- ed a minority report charging that the bill is unconstitutional, arbitrary and discriminatory to the south.
 The minority report heralded a Jefection of southern Representa- tives, complicating administration hopes to win a rule from the rules committee to bring the bill to the floor. Rep. Joseph Martin, R., Mass, assistant House minority leader, was viewed as the controlling factor in the fight to jam the bill through the rules committee.

Adolf Hitler Giuen
 New Celebration
Continued from Page D

Hitler's engagements included re- ceiving hundreds of Nazi party chiefs and sub-chiefs and foreign diplomats. He was to attend also the premiere of the finally con- pleted motion picture of the 1886 Olympic games made by Miss Lenl Riefenstahl, the official Nazi Olym- pics photographer.
 Building Decorated
 Public buildings throughout the greater Germany were decorated ln the Fuehrer's honor, and there were parades in all garrison towns.
 Ninety-five hundred men Of the army, navy and air force, including infantry. cavalry, tank and armored car units, machine gunners, anti aircraft crews and heavy artillery men, arrived here last night to take part in the big parade, and took po- sition behind the old Imperial Pal ace this morning for their march along Unter Den Linden to the Brandenburg gate.

motorized, more than 50 anti-air- craft weapons of all sizes and nearly 75 anti-tank guns as well as the usual motorized and foot infantry attachments and representatives of the navy and the air force.
 Hitler stood stiffly throughout the parade and saluted regularly as various units and flags passed. Cheering crowds along Unter Den Linden jokingly noted that the Aus trians marched with less snap than the Germans.
 Hitler Shakes Hands
 At the conclusion of the parade Hitler shook hands with the chiefs of the various armed forces and thanked them for the spectacle. He then went by automobile to the chancellory.
 Today was undoubtedly the hap piest birthday of Hitler's life be- cause of the absorption of his native Austria into the German Reich.
 Nearly 10000 troops, represent ing every branch and every weapon of the new army which Hitler formed in defiance of the Versailles treaty, paraded in his honor.
 Hitler stood in his reviewing stand in Unter Den Linden, opposite the war memorial, to take the salute fro mthe German troops and those from the Linz and Steyr garrisons of the Austrian army who marched past.
 Hundreds of thousands of people who, whatever they may have thought of Nazism once, were now caught in a wave of enthusiasm re- sultant from the Austrian merger, cheered as the troops passed.
 Truckloads. of Presents
 Truckloads of birthday presents arrived at Hitler's chancellory. Members of Hitler youth organiza- tions, boys and girls, were detailed to open and sort the presents from all over Germany and Austria - cushions, food, wood carvings, needlework, and the usual complete assortments of baby clothes. The food was sent at once to the Nazi welfare organization for distribution to the poor today, and nearly all of the other presents, including the baby clothes, will be handed to the welfare organization later.
 There were unconfirmed reports in Vienna that an amnesty, for German and Austrian political offenders of some categories, might be announced in connection with the birthday celebration.

France Adds 2, 900 Planes To Air Force

expects to begin business negotia- tions with Count Galeazzo Ciano, foreign minister, tomorrow on the proposed Italian French friendship treaty, it was understood today.
 Blondel was expected to receive his instructions from Paris tonight on the conduct of negotiations, and to seek an appointment at once with Ciano.
 It was regarded as significant that the closely controlled Italian news papers quoted French forecasts that it would take but 10 days to reach a friendly agreement, though nat urally detailed negotiations would take lonlger. Some diplomatic quar- ters expressed belief that Premier Benito Mussolini would liketo see the establishment of an informal British -French-1talian cooperative understanding before Adolf Hitler arrived May 3 for his visit.
 Italians Deny It
 Italian officials deny any such in tention, but the prevalent belief is llldU lO buy differences with France as he has done with Great Britain. Such a policy could lead him toward the old "Stresa front" of Brit ish-French cooperation against Ger many or toward a four pouer agree ment including Germany in which the "Rome-Ber]in axis" of coopera- ton would be merged. The second possibility is considered the ljkelier one.
 Despite official assertions that the Italian-B British understanding did not weaken the Rome Berlin axis" in any way, fascists admit privately that Mussolini is slowly loosening his ties with Germany. One fascist, commenting on the favorable" re- action in Berlin to the Italian-B Brit ish agreement, said:
 "Berlin's so-called satisfaction at the signature of the Anglo Italian accord is just as sincere as our pub- licly expressed pleasure at Hitler's annextion of Austria"

 Seven Arrests Made
 Seven persons have been arrested and charged with attempts to hoax Levine out of his money. The most recent case occurred only yester- day when Federal Bureau of h. vestigation agents announced the arrest of Frank Joseph Maltese, p, and Pasquale Parisi, 26. Maltese was bold enough to walk into Le- vines office, toss a note on the lawyers desk and demand payment of the $30,000 then and there. In return, he promised to release Peter, unharmed, on the streets of Harri- son, N. Y, within six hours.
 Parents Decision Slowly and painfully Levine and Mrs. Levine came to the conclusion that the boy might be dead. Who ever seized the boy left few clues in New Rochelle, suburban community where the Levines live. Federal, state and local police were unable to turn up clue. Thousands of Boy Scouts, going over every foot of ground for miles around the Levine Home, found nothing.
 Attempts to make contact with the kidnapers through clergymen intermediates resulted in silence. Levine's repeated assurances that all doors were open to the kidnapers brought no results. Levine posed for newsreel pictures which showed Peter riding a bicycle, playing a piano and walking on the street.
 T ask the public to watch out for my boy" Levine said in the newsreel.

 Where He Will Visit
 Elsewhere it was said McNutt would visit Australia, New Zealand Borneo and India, then go to Tur- key and the Balkan countries and probably Austria and Spain. On that schedule he would arrive in the United States in November. If he makes such a survey as MT. Roose- vclt's representative, the journey is likely to be interpreted as friend ly gesture from the White House and at least an intimation that MT Roosevelt had not decided to use against McNutt the veto power he expects to have in the 1940 Demo- cratic national convention.
 McNutts political plans are fig uring in national as well as Indiana politics as Washington adjusts it. self to the evidence that key mid- dle western state already has an active favorite son" candidate for the 1940 Democratic nomination But some observers profess to be confused by the suggestion that MT. Roosevelt, who has not shown par tiality for a McNutt candidacy so far, would underwrite a world tour in his behalf.
 VAN NUYS HACKERS
 A group of Senate veterans of the battle against the judiciary reor- ganization bill met meanwhile to help Sen. Frederick Van Nuys, D., Ind, obtain reelection against a combination of New Deal-McNutt opposition.
 MT. Roosevelt was drawn into the campaign against Van Nuys by Gov Clifford M. Townsend who chose the White House steps, moment after leaving the presidential office, to read the bolting senator out of the party. But last nights tes- timonial dinner honoring Van Nuys could not be said to have been wholly in challenge either to MT Roosevelt or the McNutt organiza- tion, which controls the Democratic party in Indiana. It seemed to be aimed at both of them.
 Touch Of Mystery
 There was a touch of mystery about the affair. Sen. David I Walsh, D., Mass, was host at the Columbia Country club. But bott he and Van Nuys and their office employees professed ignorance of the guest list. Walsh said he merely was host and that Van Nuys hac named the guests. Van Nuys saic 1t was Walsh's show.
 Few senators who might have been expected to attend, admitted when questioned that they would bt there. Among them, all frequent opponents of New Deal policies were: Senators Peter G. Gerry, D. R. l., Josiah w. Bailey, D., N. C.; and Royal s. Copeland, D., N. Y Senators Tom Connally, D., Tex. Joseph c. OMahoney, D.. Wyo., ano Francis T. Maloney, D., Conn. would have been present except fol previous engagements. The party which began with about g guests wound up with fewer than dozen on Walsh's estimate.

SCHILLER CASE
 TAKES NEW TURN

(Continued from Page D as can be ascertained the state has never been placed in either cate- gory.
 No arguments or evidence were presented in court this morning. Af- ter the stipulation of facts was presented, Judge Inglis reserved de- cision and ordered briefs filed with in a week. States Attorney Law renee L. Lewis, prosecuting the case, explained that had the funds been those of the town, the offense would come within the statute without a question.
 Under the present circumstances, however, there is considerable ques- tion, and there is possibility that the case may go to the supreme court for final clarification.
 Stipulation of Facts
 The stipulation of 1ac:s as sub mitted by state and defense to Judge Inglis is as follows:
 l. The accused was the duly elected town clerk of the Town of Naugatuck, State of Connecticut, during the year 1897.
 2. As such town clerk the ac- cused during the month of April, 1887, received payment of hunting, trapping, angling, combination and special combination license fees in the total amount of $1,41300, which fees he, as such town clerk, failed to remit to the treasurer of the State of Connecticut as required by law, but spent the money thus re- ceived for his own purposes.
 3. And as such town clerk, the accused during the month of Janu- ary, 1897, received payment of hunt ing, trapping, angling, combination and special combination license fees in the total amount of $399. which fees, he, as town clerk, failed to re- init to the treasurer of the State of Connecticut as required by law, but spent the money thus received for his own purposes.
 The real situation was that Schil- Ter was Town Clerk of Naugatuck, but in issuing licenses for angling, etc, he was an agent for the state.
