Going Up!

Waterbury felt the warm breath of midsummer today on one of the several longest days of the year" which vary by seconds in length through the period of yesterday, to- day, tomorrow and the day after.
 The thermometer over which City Plumbing Inspector James R. Walk CT is guardian at City Hall, showed close to 90 degrees at noon today and was rising. The high mark to- day may reach 94 or 95 degrees, it was estimated. but the humidity, rather than the heat, was the chiet annoyance.

Roosevelt Calls for Million
Dollars to Help Dis

WASHINGTON, Jan. %. CUP).
President Roosevelt appealed to
the nation last night through the
American Red Cross to donate
promptly and generously" at
least 100000 for the relief OF
Chinese civilians who have been
derived of their livelihood by
the Sino-Japanese war.
In a letter to Admiral Cary I.
Grayson, Red Cross chairman, Mr..
Roosevelt said he is "confldent"
that there is a widespread de-
sire on the part of our citizens in
every section of the country to
contribute TO a fund to aid IN
meeting the extreme distress of
millions of civilian people in
China"
Grayson said he had instructed
the Red Cross 3170 chapters to
take immediate steps to raise the
fund. ..
The presidents action in seek
ing funds for foreign relief dur
ing armed conflict, was believed
unprecedented since World war

Group on Inspection Tour
Escaped Narrowly at
Valencia Last Week

HENDAYE, Franco Spanish
Frontier, Jan. 25. (UP)-A Span
ish loyalist commrniQue asserted
last night that yesterdays insur-
gent air raid on the frontier town
of Puigcerda was designed to
wipe out a party of seven Brit
ish parliament members.
The parliament group including
a former member of the admiral
ty general staff, had been in
Spain on an inspection tour and
had a narrow escape last week
during an air raid on Valencia.
William Dobbie, laborite men,
Der of parliament from Rother-
ham and former lord mayor Of
York who led the party, said at
ter arriving in France that 1.-The
rebel planes have been chasing US
throughout our travels in Spain"
1t was quite likely" he said,
that Puigcerda was bombed be-
cause "they thought we might be
passing through"
All but one of the British men,
bers of parliament were labOlites
and staunch sympathizers Of the
loyalist cause.
They left Barcelona about
II 80 Sunday night, several hours
after the insurgent air squadron
raided Puigcerda and took a toll
of 80 dead, 20 wounded and
heavy property damage.
Puigcerda suffered most in a
series of Sunday insurgent All
raids in the north and along the
Catalonian coast which, accord
ing to the defense ministry in
Barcelona, accounted for so civil
ian dead, 100 wounded and great
destruction.
The defense ministry, asserting
that the enemy bombers were
seeking the British visitors in the
north, said:
THE rebel air force bombed
routes and centers of communica
tons between Barcelano and the
Pyrenees route on which the
British parliamentary members
were due to travel by automobile

EGGS FOR MATCHING
SUBJECT TO DAMAGE
In FIRST Is DAYS

Handling does more damage to
Matching eggs between the fourth
and fifteenth day of incubation
than at any other time, warns
Roy S. Dearstyne, head Of the
State college poultry department.
After the first fifteen days in
the incubator, eggs can take
great deal of punishment and
still hatch. Tests have shown. that
eggs with live embryos following
this period may be shaken VIC
lently, whirled rapidly, and lar.
red sharply with 4 minimum OF
damage. Only three per cent fail
ed to hatch.
When the same rough handling
was given eggs incubated between
four and fifteen days, "a per cent
of the eggs showed dead embryos,
Dearstyne declared. r.
.Incubating eggs damaged by
rough treatment which was not
severe enough to break the shells
usually showed broken yolk sacs,
or ruptured blood vessels in, the
growing embryoS. T..
Sometimes tremulous air cells
developed, but. if the embryo
lived. the air cells became fixed,
the State College poultryman ex-
planned 49,.
For long time there has been
popular belief that such distur-
Dances as thunder, rumblng
trains, dynamite explosions, and
earthquakes are likely to prevent
eggs from Matching. One of the
detectives Of the egg-handling eX-
pertinent was to determine the
validity of this belief. :,
Certain eggs were handled
carefully during the incubation
period. Others were subjected to
rough treatment, such as being
placed near blasting operations
which produced a shock so severe
as to break the shells of as many
as one-third of the eggs.
Dearstyne said that of thos"
eggs that escaped shell damage
from the explosion, 81 per cent
Matched, compared with an IS
percent hatch from the carefully
incubated eggs.

MIAMI'S MAYOR
is INDICTED IN
BRIDE CHARGE
Grand Jury Also Moves
Against Three Other
City Officials

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. IS. (UP)-
A special grand jury, investigat-
ing sensational charges that a Mi
ami city representative solicited a
$3.50, 900 bride to settle an cleo
trio rate controversy out of court,
yesterday indicted Mayor Robert
R. Williams and three other city
officials.
The indictments, each contain
ing two counts, were returned
against Williams, City Commits
sioners Ralph B. Ferguson and
John w. Dubose, and Thomas f.
Grady, Miami's rate and traffic
consultant.
Williams, Ferguson, Dubose and
Grady were charged with exact
ing remuneration not provided by
law and conspiracy IN connection
with the charges published ten
days ago by Bryan G. Hanks, pres
ident of the Florida Power and
Light Co., in half-page newspaper
advertisements entitled 81 won't
pay bride"
The four city officials were
served with capiases and were
freed after posing $4,000 bond
each. They declined to comment
on the indictments ION advice of
counsel"
The special grand jury which
indicted them was impaneled last
Monday by Judge Paul D. Barns
as the result of Hanks accusa-
tions, which touched off tempest
led to other allegations of corrup-
of charges and recriminations that
ton in city government.
Hanks, who appeared before the
grand jury four times, charged
that after a basis Of agreement
in the rate case had been reached
he was approached pv a city rep
resentative and told that the set
Element would be effective only
upon the secret payment of $780,
900.
Upon Hanks refusal, the power
company executive said, the city
commission passed a resolution
terminating the negotiations and
instructing the city attorney to
proceed with case now pending
against the company in the New
Orleans circuit court of appeals.
Hanks alleged the $250,000 was
to have been distributed in stated
proportions among certain of the
city authorities and agents" He
said the man who solicited the
bride had been "most active in
the negotiations" r9.. "

u. S. Leading In
World Synthetic
Rubber Exploit
Distance From Source
Forces Major Powers to
' Create Home Supplies
Telephone
Number
90

NEW YORK. Jan. 25. (UP)-
Research chemists in the United
States are credited with putting
this country in the lead in an in
ternational race for development
of synthetic rubber-like materials.
DR.. H. L. Trumbull, writing in
the Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering magazine, declared
the competition among the worlds
major powers is heightened by the
fact that every great industrial
nation depends for its supplies Of
raw rubber on sources thousands
of miles away.
While chemists in this country
have been developing synthetic
substances, scientists in other ma
tions have been engaged in a
scramble to produce similar ma
terials, Dr.. Trumbnll said. He de-
clared that only in Germany and
Russia have there been any
achievements which compare with
those in the United States.
German chemists have pro-
duced a material known as. 'Buna
rubber and this substance has for
months been specified in place OF
natural rubber in goods purchaS;,,
ed by the German government,
DIR. Trumbull said.
LARGE PRODUCTION
SCHEDULED
"Buna has been made available
in several grades, each of which
in some respects is said to eXcel
natural rubber. The imposition OF
an import duty of l. IA marks
ner kiio on crude rubber is said
TO be for the purpose of raising
money for additional factories Tor
synthetic rubber production IN
Germany, which the German gov
eminent hopes within the yea1
may attain a volume OF Z''ooo
tons. -
"The Russians are reported TO
be making synthetic rubber from
alcohol. Published results snow
that their product rs inferior 10
natural rubbers. -.
I'm the United States, Scleht-
lists have developed several rup-
ber-like materials which are ilno-
inc a wide variety of applications
"A recent advance of import
ance is the production and laDII-
cation of Koroseal, a novel syn
thetic composition in many re- :,
snects resembling cured rubber
