 Michael J. Shea, the defendant, is the father of Mary Shea, who was the driver of the car in which the plaintiff was riding at the time. The car is alleged to have left the road and crashed into stone wall, mainly because of the heedlessness and recklessness of manner in which Miss Shea was operating.
 Miss Driscoll claims her injuries make it impossible for her to pursue her usual occupation as book keeper. The trial is expected to last at least the remainder of the day. Attorney Walter E. Monagan and Attorney John s. Monagan ap- pear for the plaintiff, with Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis and Attorney J. Warren Upson for the defense.

Thomaston, Feb. IS - The board of Police Commissioners in Water bury will pass on the requests of officials of Thomaston and Water town to have those towns tied up with the Waterbury police broad casts, when it convenes tomorrow afternoon. The proposal, which has been advocated by Police Chief James P. (Taft) Ryan of Thomas ton for many years, would have the police cars of both Thomaston and Watertown tied in with the Water bury police radio system.
 This plan it is felt by the officials will greatly aid in the combating of criminal activities in that the sub urban towns will be notified at the same time that the local police are informed of crime, thus enabling them to be on the immediate look out for passing cars.
 No Objections
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach of Waterbury said he did not believe there would be any objec- tion to the installation of the syS- tenn. As a matter of fact, Superin- genio, Carmella Fontano, Giovanni Gallette, Justine Ribero, Carmella Rosa.

THE MONDAY 1885,

tors that they mean business, the
Swiss are contemplating an act
unique in their history, namely, the
appointing of supreme commander
of their army in time of peace. The
Swiss, with a hatred of militarism,
have almost considered that in time
Of peace the country needs no ON
Ger higher than a colonel. Colonels
command regiments, brigades, divi-
sions and army corps. But in war
time a general might be needed on
an hours notice, before the Swiss
could have time to elect him &C
cording to democratic principles.
Therefore, there Is a strong move
to have a general elected imme-
diately. The likeliest candidate is
considered to be the French-speak-
ing Col. Guisan. If this is done, it
will serve to show the world that
prosperity has not been able to
weaken the moral fiber of this an
cient, warlike people.

statements. Attempts to "synchro-
nize" the Swiss press are, to date,
failure.
But the attempt to work through
propaganda is somewhat different.
There are many thousands Of
Germans permanently resident in
Switzerland. Most of these-ac-
cording to Nazi methods-are more
or less obligatorily organized In Nazi
groups and 1t is their duty to propa-
gate Naziism and to aid Nazi
schemes.
Students Subsidized.
1t is proved that the German gov
ernment subsidies German students
Of the aggressive type who will 60
to the Swiss universities and spread
the gospel according to Hitler. It
is proved that there exists . Nazi
organization for propaganda. It Is
believed, popularity, that the chief
executive Of all this propaganda
is Nazi diplomat at Berne, Won
Dibra. This gentleman, who took
part in the Nazifying OF the Su-
detens, moved to Switzerland three
years ago. But the Swiss govern
ment claims that his behavior since
he arrived here has been entirely
correct.
Federal authorities admit that
there is constant propaganda from
Germany. They will not admit that
it has been increased or that 1t is in
itself dangerous. They deplore the
effect of threats against Switzerland
in Germany. These keep some of
the Swiss in nervous state in which
they react too strongly against sup
posed provocation.
An example was q small incident
in Berne recently. Endeavoring to
react against minor arrogance on
the part Of q Berne shopkeeper Of
German nationality, . small crowd
overturned q motor car with q Ger
man license only to discover that the
owner was Swiss.
Few See Immediate Peril.
The question is, does the German
danger exist and do the Swiss be-
lieve it?
Few doubt that the German dan
ger is potentially immense, but a few
Swiss believe it to be immediate.
They believe it depends upon France
and Great Britain whether the Nazis
will dare attack Switzerland. II
France collapses further, and Britain
is seeking other small nations to
throw to the Nazi wolves, then Swift
zerland's turn will not be long in
coming. If France and Britain be-
gin to understand conditions and
recover the courage which created
their empires, then, the Swiss be-
lieve, Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler will
hesitate some time before throwing
even his best troops against the un-
conquered Swiss In their mountain

Premier Benito Mussolini.
