Unity was forced to take off her clothes and she was searched from head to foot by police woman. l was searched but did not have to remove my clothes. I protested to the American legation about my treatment and asked that the case be followed"
 Asked how well he knew Miss Freeman Milford, whom Hitler once described as the perfect "Aryan' type, Rueff said:
 "I just happened to meet her through the British writer who was with us. She Is nice girl but l hardly know her. She is an ardent Nazi and I am not interested in politics. Furthermore, I am no Fascist"
 Rueff added that he hoped to re- turn to Munich today to resume his studies if he could get back the films, letters and notebooks which police held.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-06-02

At the time of the arrest Rueff was planning to return to Munich tomorrow to resume his studies there and it was understood that Miss Freeman-Mitford also was go- ing back to Germany after visit to the Sudeten German area of which Carlsbad is @ principal city.
 Rueff appealed to the American legation here for aid as soon as he was arrested.
 In an interview with the United Press describing the arrests, Rueff said at Carlsbad:
 This is the first time have ever been taken for an international spy and let me tell you it Is no fun.
 'The trouble started at Strerovice. on the Prague Carlsbad highway, Tuesday night. Czech .gendarmes stopped us and found an auto- graphed picture of Hitler in Unity's luggage. They immediately thought we were international spies.

Atty. Lewis Also Silent w h e n Interviewed on
 Subject of Resignation
SUPERIOR, SUPREME
 COURT JUDGES MEET
Action May Be Taken Next Monday - Jury's Report
 on Lewis Was Surprise

States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis has rendered his res ignation to Chief Justice Will. liam M. Maltbie of the Supreme Court of Errors, re. liable authority reported to- day. No comments or con- firmations could be obtained from MT. Lewis or Judge Maltbie, however. q have no statement to make" said MT. Lewis, when asked this morning if he has resigned. T won't say anything" was the way Chief Justice Maltbie greeted an inquiry as to whether the resignation had been received by him. He would not deny, however, that he had re- ceived it.
 Question Up Monday
 Judges of the superior and Su- preme courts are expected to take action on the problem at their ad1- nual meeting Monday, June 6. If MT. Lewis resignation is accepted, the judges will undoubtedly appoint a successor. Chief Justice Maltbie also refused to comment on this question.
 In office here since 1924, States Attorney Lewis resignation was, without doubt. precipitated by the report of the extraordinary grand jury, which. on May 19, censured him for failure to prosecute or ganized gambling and rackets which allegedly f1ourished here.
 Upson's Law Partner
 Oddly, Lewis is law partner of Republican Town Committee Chair man J. Warren Upson, in the firm, Bronson, Lewis, Bronson and Up- son. It was Upson who directed the campaign of the Fusionists in 1887, which led to the election of Sher- wood L. Rowland as controller, who brought to light the evidence which resulted in the grand ury impanel- ment.
 Lewis is also counsel to William J. Pape and the Waterbury Republi- can and American.

JUSTICE BLACK CALLED MASTER
New Republic Article Finds Him Excellent Addition
 to Court

New York, June 2-(UP)-The liberal magazine New Republic, in a review of Justice Hugo L. Blacks first year in the U. s. supreme court, described him today as "A master of the jurist's art, whose dissenting opinions fit together into coherent and articulate whole, in which there is not a radical line"
 The article was written by Prof. Walton Hamilton of the Yale Law school. He said that in writing of Black, it was the custom to "eXalt frumor and degrade fact" Speaking of Blacks legal writings, he said:
 "He sets down his opinions in simple, clear-cut language ntelligi- ble to the ordinary person. It may not have style as persons who affect to be men of letters know it, but if its essence lies in the ease with which verbal currency passes from mind to mind, the court has acquir- ed another master of style ..
 His relegation of citations to the footnotes is a revolution in more things than rhetoric. The Black style-as distinguished in its own way as that of Cardozo or Holmes is an expression of the way of mind and the manner of the man ..
 One who watches the decisions week by week is bit puzzled by the lines MT. Justice Black concurs in the result-'Concurs in the opin- ion except for paragraphs so and SO -DiSSentS alone
 His protest is usually against an upstart doctrine which came into the law little more than a genera ton ago :. Outside of the priest hood of the law, almost all men of substance and good will would &C., cept his attitude as common sense.
 Regarding Blacks future, Hamil- ton said: Tt is much too early to appraise the lasting work of Black. Here and there in the opinions are expressions that sound ominous. The references to Indiana and Califor- mia Gas sovereign States) may be nothing more than rhetoric; or they may indicate a failure to grasp the want of respect which national in- dustrial system pays to state boun- diaries As yet no legal clash between state and nation has drawn Blacks views into sharp relief"

American Youth Finds Snv Faint Isn't Much Fun

Miss Freeman Milford is "A. It has been reported that she and her sister Diana, the former Mrs. Bryan w. Guinness, met Hitler in a Mu- nich restaurant while they were art students. Both are strikingly beau- tiful blondes of the type which Ger mans admire as "AryanS." A friendship developed, and Unity has been prominent at many Nazi spec tacles. She went to Vienna to see Hitler's triumphant arrival there after the Nazi absorption of Aus tria.
 Field Marshal Hermann Goering, Hitler's right hand man, once de- scribed the Milford sis ters and his own wife as the most beautiful women in Germany.
 So enthusiastic is Unity's admira- ton for Nazism that she recently announced her intention of re- nouncing her British citizenship and being naturalized as a German citizen.

There after, it was passed over protest of the Democratic membership that the resolution was unchanged in con- text from the first resolution. Even Republicans on the board were agreed that the mayor would find identical reason for failing ot ap- prove the proposal.
 Amid comment of the Republican press and the staging of Republican rallies" at board meetings, the al- dermen fought over the investiga- ton resolution for several meetings.

WAGES, HOURS BILL
 CONFERENCE BEGINS

Washington, June 2-(UP) Sen ate and house conferees began de- liberation today to reconcile differ ences in wages and hours legisla- tion.
 As they met to discuss the senate and house versions of labor stand- ards. it was virtually certain that sectional differentials of sort wouldd be agreed upon. The univer- sal wage and hour standards pro- vided by the house bill probably will be eased to compromise de- mands for lower wages and longer hours in southern states.

Jury Stands Adjourned For Two Weeks-AlcOrn
 Busy in Hartford County
LAST ELECTION TO BE
 KEPT UNDER PROBE
Questioning of Rev. Mir. CrOwder High=Light of
 Yesterdays Session

While the Waterbury Ex- traordinary and Jury stood adjourned for two weeks, Detective Edward J. Hickey and George L. Greer of the Alcorn staff today pre- pared to set out on personal seaches for Phil Coppeto of Waterbury and Enoc n E. Borgnaes of New York, the only two of the 27 indicted by the grand jury who have failed to surrender for arrest. Spe- cial Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn and hio staff will also take advantage of the respite, by proceeding with regular criminal trials in Hartford County, and preparing for develop ments from the local conditions.
 Adjourned at
 The jury adjourned yesterday af- ternoon at o'clock and will not re- tlr.n to sessions until June IA. One week later, June 2l, all preliminary motions attacking the information of the bench warrant under which the 27 are accused of conspiracy, will be set down for hearing.
 It is expected that when the jury resumes Sessions 1t will continue with it's probe of the 1887 municipal elec- tion. Apparently this was the ob- ject of the probe yesterday when Rev. Bonnie w. Crowder, pastor of the Zion Baptist church, Republican Town Committee Chairman J. War rem Upson and Democratic Town Committee Chairman John H. Crary were queried.
 Search May Be Cause
 Although the adjournment was taken ostensibly to allow MT. Alcorn time for his various duties, there is also the possibility that the search for Borgnaes and Coppeto figured prominently in the decision. Hickey

This Will mean that the entire board now may act in manner similar to grand jury procedure; may call before the board city employees; may look over depart mental records; may make recom- mendations for the reorganization of various departments. The message explaining his approval will not be made public, however, until the meeting of the aldermen Monday night when the board will receive three vetoes, as well, of resolutions propounded by the Republican mem- bership and seeking the taking of steps toward suspension of the mayor and city officials pending outcome of the grand jury charges now con- fronting.
 Kingston Original Proposcr
 Originally brought before the al- dermen by Republican Aldermanic Leader George H. Kingston, the resolution, in the first instance called for appointment of com- mittee of three members of the board to investigate all city depart ments with view to attempting econ- omies which the proponents of the move said were indicated as essen tial in the light of potential deficit this year.
 This measure, opopsed by Demo- cratic Leader Thomas P. Kelly and the Democratic minority on the board, seven Democrats against eight Republicans, with Alderma1ic President Patrick M. Perriello voting to break the tie, was passed. Alder man Kelly remarked at the time that the board had not the power to delegate power to a committee but must act as a committee of the whole by the charter requirements. The mayor vetoed the measure for the reason cited.
