for more humor than seems to find
its way into the drama.
It has laughter, but 1t Is that
superinduced by the brilliant playing
Of Miss Bankhead. There are not
many people around who can handle
lines with 50 much facility, and she
does more than well by even some
of the less telling ones Of Miss Atkins.
Moreover, there is no laugh in all
the theater that can come close to
Miss Bankhead's husky one In in
ducing an audience to join her. She
uses it with great frequency In the
course of her disillusionment In IT
Am Different"
Rendering royal assistance to Miss
Bankhead are a number Of skilled
ladies and gentlemen. Among the
latter is John Emery, whose portrait
of a philanderer has just the right
color to beguile woman with pro-
found knowledge of philanderers
and their work. The understanding
husband, one of the most tolerant
males who ever found his way into
a modern triangle drama, is imper-
sonated effectively by the capable
Glenn Anders, who keeps the char
acter from looking like a sap In
spite of Miss Atkins writing.
On the distaff side, and ever so
happily, is Fritzie Scheff, who makes
a very nice thing of the mother who
uses intuition in dealing with un-
scrupulous modern females. Hala
Linda is the particular unscrupulous
female in Miss Scheff's life, and she
is very adroit at it. Without having
written a book on love, she demon
strates a fundamental knowledge Of
the subject which challenges that Of
Miss Bankhead. Margaret Seldom
appears briefly in a bit part that is
excellently done.
Kay Nielsen is responsible for the
three sets which are necessary to the
course Of untrue love as it meanders
through II Am Different" All Of
them are effective.

President Roosevelt Fig

Be Close to 5 Billion
BY LYLE C. WILSON

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Oct. 3.-UP)
The treasury will close its
books today for the first quar-
ter of a fiscal year which may
easily establish a Roosevelt
deficit record when the ac-
counts are balanced next
June 80.
That record Is held by the
fiscal year 1886 when the
treasury went into the red by $4,-
$4,000, 900. Mr.. Roosevelt's last es-
innate, made July 10 for the current
fiscal year, was that the net deficit
would be $3,9s4, 1857, 800.
Assumes too Much
On the basis Of an approximate
$700 600, 900 deficit in the first quar-
ter Of this fiscal year, it may be
estimated that the net at year end
would not exceed $1,000, 100000. But
such figuring must assume both that
emergency unemployment relief and
other spending recommendations
will not be advanced by the White
House and that congress will avoid
voting expenditures beyond budgeted
plans. Neither is likely Of realiza-
ton.

deficit exceeding the tremendous

COURT RULING

Liquor Dealers Counsel to

ments in accordance with the find.
ings Of State Referee Frederick M
Peasley in the appeals Of George F
Mulligan, Philip Becker and Hubert
G. Keenan, from the revocations Of
their liquor licenses by the state
liquor control commission, were filed
today by Attorney Thomas F. Nc
Grath. The motions will be argued
at the superior court short calendar
session Friday.
Referee Peasley found Saturday
that Mulligan and Becker did not
break the Sunday liquor law when
they sold beer with only a sandwich
on the Sabbath. In his commentary
on the law, he indicated, liquor
dealers understand, that a sandwich
may be considered a meal in accord
ance with the law, at least in the
late afternoon.
Referee Peasley stated, however
that Keenan, broke the law by SELL
ing liquor to two custimers who told
him that they had Just finished their
noon-day meal. He held that the
sandwich in this case was just a
cover"
Attorney McGrath said today that
the question "Is a sandwich a meal
will be referred directly to Judge
Earnest G. Simpson in superior
court Friday, when the motions for
Judgment in accordance with the re-
port are argued. The law on the
case will also be argued by Attorney
McGrath and Assistant Attorney
General Leo Gaffney, who represents
the liquor commission.
Judge Simpson will be asked to
file a memorandum of decision on
the matter, setting forth the definite
requirements for compliance with
the Sunday liquor sale law.
No ruling has yet been made. by
which the liquor dealers may def
nitely know whether a sandwich is
a meal in connection with the SUM-
day law.
Referee Peasley, by his report, I'm

Berlin, Oct. S.-(UP)-A modified
state of martial law was established
in the Sudetenland today as Ger
man troops advanced farther beyond
the former frontiers of Czechoslova-
kia.
While it was understood that
Adolph Hitler intends to begin
rehabilitation of his 100000 army
soon after completion of the occupa-
ton on Oct. 10, a decree was issued
providing that any offenses against
Germany in the Sudeten area would
be tried by court martial.
Gen. Wilhelm Keitel, commander
in-chief of the armed forces, and
Minister of Justice Franz Guertner
issued the decree. A spokesman for
the ministry of propaganda said
that "it would not be wrong to de-
scribe the state of affairs set up
under the decree as martial law"
This state of affairs will endure
as long as the military occupies the
Sudeten area-that is until the re-

Opens Fall Term With
Brief Session

Washington, Oct. 3.-(UP)-The

term at 1908 p. m. EST. today.
Only seven juristS were present
when the session opened.
One vacant seat was that of Ben
jamin N. Cardoza, liberal jurist who
died last July q few weeks after
conclusion of the court term. The
other was that of Justice James F.
McReynolds.
The first act O. Chief Justice
Charles Evans Hughes as he started
the tribunal into new session was
to pay tribute on behalf Of the
court to Cardozo.
After an 18-minute session the
court recessed until next Monday
when the first orders of the year
will be announced.
The chamber was filled to capa-
city. A crowd of 200 woud-be
spectators lined the corridor outside.
Among those in attendance were
Attorney General Cummings, Solicit
tor General Robert H. jackson, AS
sistance Attorney General James
w. Morris and Assistant Solicitor
General Golden w. Bell.
Hughes said the court had "suf-
fered an irreparable loss in the
death of one of our brothers" since
it last met in June. He said that
he and his colleagues were "inex-
pressibly saddened".
Cardoza's special qualities for
the judicial service were early recog-
nized," Hughes said, recalling the
New Workers. Is years as jurist.
When the late Justice Holmes
died, the chief justice continued,
Cardoza was chosen in response to
widespread recognition of the fit
ness Of his appointment"
The court then heard admissions
to the bar.

gument Of the Tennessee Valley

The woman has been held

that the state will not press the

very probable that lesser charge,

The situation is now that no def

SECRECY OF JURY
MINUTES FOUGHT
Supreme Court to Hear
Issue Affecting Local
Cases Tomorrow

Secrecy of minutes Of eXtraordin-
airy investigating grand jurieS will
be at stake tomorrow morning in
the supreme court of errors at Hart
ford. Arguments viii be heard on
appeals from opposite rulings which
were handed down in the Water
bury and Merritt Parkway investi-
cations. Tomorrow is the opening
day of the fall term Of the supreme
court.
The high court judges will hear
motions to erase all appeals, how
ever, before the actual arguments
on merits are heard. Should the
high court sustain the motions to
erase the appeals from the docket,
the arguments on the actual ap-
peals will be unnecessary.
Four of the ~ men accused Of
conspiring to defraud the City Of
Waterbury of more than million
dollars have appealed to the SUI
preme court of errors from the re-
fusal of Judge Ernest A. Inglis to
allow them to view the jury's min
utes. Seventeen others have Stipu-
lated with Special Prosecutor Hugh
M. Alcorn that they will be bound
by the decision of the high court in
the four appeals.
Special Prosecutor Alcorn has
filed motion to erase the appeals,
claiming that the defendants have
no right Of appeal. Should this mo-
ton be granted, the supreme court
will in effect rule that the superior
court has the final and discretion
airy power with regard to secrecy of
the juries' minutes.
