 The French view is that if that happens Italy's position will be gravely compromised in central Europe. France, however, is not bound to protect Austria-eXcept by League of Nations ties-as she would be bound to protect Czecho- slovakia, with whom she has an al- liance.
 Must Get Cabinet
 So serious was the situation here that President Albert Lebrun was reported to have asked Leon Blum socialist leader, to form a cabinet at once or to confess his failure, so that another man could form one. This would ensure a new cabinet before the Austrian plebiscite.
 It was understood that leaders felt new cabinet should be in office by this weekend because of the pos sibility of tension in relations be- tween Austria and Germany over the plebiscite.
 Blum sought to revive the popu- lar front by forming cabinet of socialists, radical socialists, union socialists and communists-a cabinet in which the communists, for the first time, would be included instead of merely voting in support.
 Radical socialists, who despite their name constitute the right wing of the popular front and do not like the communistic idea, met to consider their own participation.
 Disputed Each Other
 Leaders intimated that unless the radical socialists changed their minds they would not participate in cabinet of which communists were members. The communists, issuing statement affirming their willing ness to serve, did not facilitate Blums efforts to win over the radi- calls. Eager for compromise, Blum attended radical socialist meeting and intimated that he might be willing to keep communists out of the cabinet provided that several executives of the general Confedera- tion of Labor were included. This move, it was understood, would suit the communists. The radical so- cialists demanded that Blum give definite guarantees against any ef- fort to exert official control of for eign exchange and against any in- tervention in the Spanish civil war It seemed that the radicals would like to stay out of the cabinet but realized that, if they did, thei1 Edouard Daladier would lose con- trol of the combined fighting forces as minister of defense.

United Americans In
 Thomaston Organize
Action Last Evening in Forming Post Starts Merry
 Verbal Battle Among Residents of ThOmastOn

Thomaston, March 11-This small town seethed today with repercus- sions of the public meeting last night at Sons of Union Veterans rooms which saw George A. Holmes, of Southbury, former Ku Klux Klan official of the Naugatuck klan of some years ago, organizing an "out- post" here of his United Ameri- cans," the anti-Nazi group which re- suited from purchase of land at Southbury by the German-Ameri- can Volkesbund late last year.
 Opinion was divided today over just what purposes were to be the principal functions of the new or ganization. Townspeople, aware of Holmes past affiliation with the klan and the former affiliations of some of his associates in the United Americans, questioned whether the new group retained any of the tenets of the hooded knights" who spread over sections of Connecticut in fiery cross conclaves during a period eight and ten years ago.
 Support Given
 While certain labor organizations and the communists have supported the movement of Holmes since its inception at Southbury, following the restriction of the bund camp area into a residential district by the zoning commission of that town, the United Americans failed to find proportionate support at various meetings at Waterbury. Attendance at the meetings called by Holmes and his associate, Nelson Bellmay, of Waterbury, was reportedly small.
 Which raised the question here,

when about 15 persons gave lip serv- ice to the organization at last nights meeting, whether the same argu- mentS for a Thomaston unit of the United Americans was used as dur ing the meetings at Waterbury.
 60 Present
 While about 60 persons attended the meeting, fact that only a quar- ter of these agreed to join the move ment created some question over its acceptability here. Principal among the local joiners were Herbert Cleveland, named a vice president of the Thomaston unit, and William Delong, who was described as an or ganizer. Rev. Edgar Jackson, pas tor of Methodist Episcopal church, attended the meeting and Francis Selleck was reported as secretary of the local branch.
 In an address concerning the United Americans, Holmes said that the organization "has been eX- tending it's influence" and that it now has members in practically every city and town in Connecticut" He described that new units are being formed in many places.

 The specific charge against Whit ney so far is that he took securities from a trust fund established for his wife and sister-in-law, and pledged them to bank as security for a loan to his firm, Richard Whitney & Co. A state securities bureau hearing meantime has brought out evidence that Whitney had obtained possession of $798,000 worth of securities belonging to his customers.

some time, and firemen had to rip away roof shingles and sidewall clapboards to eXtinguish the fire.
 Front Not Badly Damaged
 The front of the house was not badly damaged by fire, but suffered much from smoke and water. Furni- ture not saved by the WPA men was almost all destroyed.
 Fire Marshal Den Lahey and his assistant, Capt. William G. Russell, were of the opinion, after an in- vestigation, that the fire originated in box of waste paper on the back veranda. How the waste matter caught fire is not known. The alarm was answered by Engines 2, and 10, Truck 3 and the booster pump.
 Scores of cars flocked to the scene, and traffic and onlookers were handled by a police detail, consist ing of Capt. William Duggan, Lieuts. Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan, Sergt. Charles Nolan, Motor Patrol man John Mcdonnell and Thomas Phelan and Patrolman William Hag- gerty.

Provisions Made
 Inasmuch as the 1888 budget for the Fire Department includes with in the item, regular salaries, $443,- ,- 242.50," provision for the stipulated appointments, it was pointed out that the additional appointments were planned when the budget was estimated last year. That they have not been made until now, and will be withheld until April 1, will mean the effecting of an economy of sev- eral thousand dollars. however, m the cost of the department for the current year.
 AS regards appointments by Mayor Frank Hayes to the vacancy on the Board of Education and that at the WigWam and to the post of Super intendent of Garbage Collection, it is reported that at least two of these posts will be filled within the next few weeks. Nothing definite has been decided as to nominees for these posts, according to an in- formant.
 Numerous Applications
 Speculation concerning the Fire Department appointments has caused numerous applications to the Board of Fire Commissioners and members of that board have been questioned as to probable action during the last month and a half.
 A number of changes in personnel of various departments are report edly ill the offing. Whether these will be effected within this month or April depends on several related developments.
 Rumor of these changes has been in the air for more than two months. But, along with the delay in making several appointments to fill vacancies on city bords, the mat ter has been held in abeyance.
 Whatever reorganization of city departments may result will be in line with an earlier pronouncement of the mayor as relates to economies. It is understood that conditions presently causing heavy drain in welfare costs and delays occasioned by lack of cooperation in the matter of providing the city's share of WPA funds have had their effect on the holding up of the program.
 The city, at present. is confronted with a serious unemployment prob lem, 1t was stated, and the import ance of city participation in the governmental projects currently em- ploying about 1900 laborers, as well as white color" workers, has been stressed by Mayor Hayes as various meetings of the boards this year.
 WPA Projects
 It was due to the insistence of Mayor Hayes that system was voted by the Board of Public Works, the Finance Board and the Board of Aldermen whereby Controller Sher- wood L. Rowland was instructed to provide funds from the available bond funds to keep the WPA proj- ects moving. The government will pay about $4O0,000 and the city about $109,000 for various projects during the next five months. Special projects have been approved by the boards at Fulton Park and Abbott avenue to provide employment for 323 men.
