 MADE NEW RECORD
Knocks Nearly One Hour Off Mark Set By Tommy
 TOmlinsOn

Floyd Bennett Field, New York, Aug. 20-(UP) - Howard Hughes landed here at 8:56:5O a. m. (ED1) today after a reckord breaking flight from Los Angeles in his al- ready famous round-the world transport plane.
 Flying most of the way in the sub-stratosphere, he completed the trip in 10 hours, 35 minutes, 50 sec- onds, breaking the transport plane record set four years ago by Tom my Tomi]son, who crossed the coun. try in transport plane in II hours and five minutes.
 He took off from Los Angeles at 10:21 p. m. (EDT) and reported by radio only twice-at Alton, H., and Pittsburgh. He was never sighted Already, Hughes held the transcon- tinental record for speed planes - seven hours. 28 minutes and 25 sec- onds, which he set Jan. 19, 1887, av- eraging 332 miles an hour from Los Angeles to Newark airport.
 Flying at an altitude of 500 feet as he crosesd the airport adminis- tration building, Hughes turned the plane into wide circle and brought it down into Emile north wind. He taied up the runway and came to stop in front of 100 spectators, mostly airport attendants and news papermen, the only ones who knew that he was coming. His take-off from Los Angeles had been under mysterious circumstances with no announcement of his intentions.

Devey Seeking Conuict h Prison To Help Beat Hines

New York, Aug. 20- (UP)-Dis- trict Attorney Thomas E. Dewey to- day located in a California prison a bondsman for the late Dutch Schultz who may be returned as a star witness against James J. Hines, Tammany Hall leader on tria. charged with having sold political protection to the Schultz lottery mob. The bondsman, Max Silver man, located through police finger print records, is serving a term of one to IA years in San Quentin prison on a bad check charge. His possible entry into the Hines case became a sensation when it was re- ported that he had conferred with Schultz three hours before that mob leader was slain in Newark, N. j.. saloon in October, 1885, and that at the time Schultz was slain, he was going over the records of his pay ments for political protection. Dewey h9ped that Silverman might have -seen these records during his con- ference with Schultz.
 It has been charged by Dewey, but corroborated so far only by one witness, that Schultz's protection money was paid to Hines, a power ful district leader of Tammany. That witness was George Wein- berg, Schultz's lieutenant. indicted with Hines. He pleaded guilty and testified that Schultz paid Hines $l 900 down and $500 weekly after they, had conspired to monopolize all lotteries in the city.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-20

Other witnesse sincluded policy bankers who said that after Schultz had organized them, he compelled them to contribute to Tammany Hall political campaigns and to the Jimmy Hines Club" That was as far as Dewey had progressed toward discriminating Hines in the racket after presenting 12 witnesses. The trial was in recess over the week. end and Dewey was preparing the second phase of his case, an attempt to draw Hines name directly into the established background of out lawry and legal immunity for rack eteerS, when Silverman was discov- cred.
 Dewey immediately messaged Dis- trict Attorney Buron Fitts of Los Angeles requesting that he send a man to San Quentin and inquire whether Silverman would waive court proceedings and come here by plane to testify. Silverman was the bondsman who arranged for Schultz to surrender in Newark when he was a fugitive on federal income tax charges. of which he later was acquitted. It was reported at the time that Scnultz's gang was ready to put Silverrnan lon the spot for having played the boss for sucker" But relationships warmed again when Schultz was acquitted and it was reported that Schultz died owing Silverman $6.- 900.

State Chairman Smith and Sen. Culhane Groups Had
 Practically Agreed REPRESENTATION NOT
 EQUAL, SAYS CRARY So Chairman J. H. Crary Writes Letter to Pub=
 lie Explaining

Democrats of Waterbury, there will be a primary. Swift on the results of the all-night harmony" meeting of the conference committees of the peace group of State Chair man J. Francis Smith and the divergent unit of Senator George T. Culhane, came presentation of a list of dele gates to the several state conventions.
 The Democratic town committee received copy of this list. consid- cred 1t at a special meeting and, today, Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary, by unanimous vote of the town committee. announced that "it appears that the represen- tative Democrats of Waterbury have been cast aside. ... We ask MT. Smith to explain to the Demo- crats of Waterbury why 1t was neces- sary to place certain individuals upon several delegations and ne- glect names of other men, who are willing to work for Democratic suc- cess.
 Not Representatives
 Issue is made that the list is not representative" of the Democrats of the city and. thus, the statement of Chairman Crary, combining en- dorsement of the policies of Presi- dent Roosevelt, Governior Cross, United States Senator Augustine Lonergan. High Sheriff J. Edward Slavin, the re-nomination and cleo tion of our congressman, J. Joseph Smith," cites the following:
 Hundreds Asked Tickets
 "At the urgent and insistent re- quest of hundreds and hundreds of people, we have unanimously de- cided to present to the Democratic voters a primary ticket. The men and women named thereon will be those whose democracy cannot be questioned in any way. We have no quarrel with any candidate seeking public office" (Thereupon followed the endorsements of the officials cited).
 The factor on which is based the impending primary fight next Thursday, between the hours of 4:3O and 9:30 o'clock, the list of dele gates submitted by the "confer- ence" groups to the town commit tee is in the hands of the town com- mittee. Chairman Crary would not release it for publication until such time as the Democratic Voters Committee sanctioned this action
 Still Seek Harmony
 The latter group it was learned today, still hopes that some 'revi- sion" of the list may effect the long sought harmony, even following the announcement by the town com mittee that it will submit primary list. Thus, should the list be pub lished, it would create embarrass- ment" for any whose names might, be dropped in such a revision" a

ITALY, CATHOLIC
 PARTY IN PEACE
Fascist Party and Italian Catholic Action Society
 Agree to New Program

Rome, Aug. 20.-(UP).-The Fas- cist party and the Italian Catholic Action society reached an accord to- day ending dispute between the church and state over Italys racial program.
 An official communique announced new agreement fully confirming the agreement of September, 1881, between the Italian government and the society, regulating the activitie of Catholic Action.
 In 1881 agreement provided that Catholic Action could continue to function in Italy under the juris- diction of bishops of the church, but would refrain from all political activities and conflne 1t elf entirely to religious questions.
 This agreement ended months of dispute over alleged political activi- ties of the Catholic Action organ ization which broke out anew re- gently when Pope Plus strongly con- demned Italy's anti-Semitic racial program and defended Catholic Ac- tion.
 The new agreement was under tood to have been negotiated by 77-year-old Father Pietro Tacchi- Venturi, who negotiated the 1881 agreement.

People Versus Upson'
 Is C. O. 2. Split Slogan
Primary Fight in Republican Party Ranks Grows Bit= ter-Battle to Finish Against Ruling Powers
 of Faller=UpsOn Crowd
The "People" versus "Upson"


 Such is the aspect of the primary fight which impends for the Water bury Republican party with a legion of the racial groups and other op- ponents of the Faller-Upson new rules" lined up against Republi- can Town Chairman J. Warren Upson.
 Developments today are:
 Filing of a list of opposing dele gates as the Peoples ballot" by leaders of the foes of the new rules.
 Statement by Chairman Upson defending the rules.
 Evidence that fight-to-the- finish primary vote will disrupt Re- publican organization no matter who wins the delegates Tuesday.
 Peoples Ballot Coming
 Opposition to the nearly complete list of district leaders named by Chairman Upson resulted last night in the announcement by Attorney George J. Crocicchia, heading a delegation of officials of several po- tent Republican political clubs, that Peoples ballot" will .,s entered in at least 20 of the 32 voting dis tricts. Attorney Crocicchia attacked the "autocratic" rule of the town chairman by the new rules, depre- eating the deals" by which these rules were put over", contrary to the announced wishes of the town committee.
 Diverse Opinions
 Entirely diverse interpretations of the new rules and their effect on the Waterbury Republican party's progress were offered by Chairman Upson and Attorney Crocicchia. The former, in a statement yesterday, defended the rules saying that they placed control of the party in the hands of Republicans in the several districts and, thus, allow the party "to reflect the desires of each Re- publican elector more than ever be- fore"
 Adversely, Attorney Crocicchia contended that the rules did not represent the wish of the town com mittee; that they are "autocratic' and that the Peoples ballot" if given adequate support in the con test for delegates Tuesday, twill return the party to the principles oi representative government"
 The statement of MT. Crocicchis follows in part:
 Under the new autocratic rules of the lecal Republican rarty, which were adopted by . controlled town convention. (Continued on Page 2)

Waterbury may have two grand juries in simultaneous session dur ing the fall, it appeared possible to- day. In addition to the extraordi- nary grand jury which will resume its investigation into municipal af- fairs, a grand jury may be sum- moned and asked to return a true bill against Mrs. Thursa Grant Scott, 25, of 89 Sheffield street, who is held for the shooting of her 36- year old husband, Howard.
 States Attorney William B. Fitz- gerald has declined to comment on the procedure he expects to follow in the Scott case, but if he should seek to press charge of first de- gree murder against the widow he would have to apply to superior court for the summoning of a grand jury.
