Questioned later, Levine refused to discuss it. The father, who has $30,- 900 ransom ready, assured the ab- ductors again yesterday, that they could negotiate without fear of po- lice interference.
 "The promise still holds good" he said. that no attempt will be made by the police or any other authority or any one else to follow or interfere with the go-between selected to de- liver the money"

Deputy Daniel J. Callahan was also present.
 Court House Aroused
 Reporters and cameramen gath cred in groups on the second floor, awaiting the appearance of princi- pals in the case, either for picture or interview. The court house as- stunned an air of importance which it had not known in many years.
 No witnesses were expected to be called today in the investigation. Judge Inglis advised the mel that they should confine their time today to organization purposes, the elec- tion of foreman, and the planning of subsequent activities.
 In his charge he dotted on the secrecy which the jurymen must maintain all throughout the inves- tigation. Special Prosecutor Alcorn, who will interrogate the witnesses refused to venture 8 guess as to the length of time the investigation might require.
 Hickey, Greer in Power
 With regard to witnesses brought before the jury, it seemed positive that the subpoenas would be served by Detectives Hickey and Greer, who also are special deputy sheriffs.
 T will offer no objection if Hickey and Greer serve the sum- monses," said High Sheriff J. Ed ward Slavin. He intimated that he only sought recognition of the sher- ifs office in the service of the sub- poenas
 A high plane of secrecy has been flung about the proceedings by the actions of Alcorn and Judge Inglis. The latter said today that he would only come here at the request of the jury or Investigating officials.
 Newspapermen Warned
 Newspapermen, in conference with Judge Inglis and Alcorn, before the outset of the court proceedings to- day, were warned not to interview any witness or prospective witness of the grand jury. Representatives VI CfCAJ 4lOOublC 1lCWOPdpCl hAlO service in the state were present.
 They were told that to violate that order would result in their being cited for contempt of court. "They are not to be interviewed" was the law laid down. The grand jury will swear all witnesses to secrecy, and if they talk, they too will be liable for contempt proceedings.
 No witnesses are to be photo graphed unless they give permis- sion, according to MT. Alcorn. Judge Inglis said he was taking this pre- caution to protect regulations of in- nocent persons. In the Merritt parkway investigation, all witnesses almost without exception have been questioned as to what they intended to testify, or had testified before the jury. This practice will not fol- low in the local investigation.
 Is Not Procedure
 Judge Inglis said that his decree with regard to interviews was not precedent. MT. Alcorn said that the statute provided that no person shall interfere with & state witness.
 First day of actual work by the jury will start tomorrow, when Sherwood L. Rowland is expected to be the first witness called. MT. AL corn has maintained discreet secrecy as to his intentions for summoning witnesses.

 By Fish, Game Group

The annual dinner of the Wa terbury Fish and Game Associa- tion will be held at The Elton March 31, 1t was announced at the organizations meeting last night. The principal speaker will be Ozark Ripley, famous sports authority.
 Charles A. Templeton was re- elected president of the associa- tion. Other officers named were H. c. Rice, first vice-president; Hugh J. Loughlin, second vice. president: Dr. Dudley Deming, third vice-president; Lewis F. Eastwood, treasurer and Walter A, Woods, secretary.
 The following were named members of the executive com- mittee: Andrew J. Cooney, Floyd Rasmussen, w lliam J. Latimer, Raymond c. Perkins, Floyd w. Wooster Peter FitzHenry and Les lie Baker.
 The association voted the sum of $150 for the purchase of pheasants and $150 for the fur ther propagation of trout. Dr. Deming stated that the state has cooperated by buying one pheas- ant for each one bought by the club.
 Trout which the club has been rearing in the pond owned by Charles J. DeBisschop will be distributed in six brooks in this vicinity. This is in acordance with an agreement with the state board of fisheries and game.

you may direct the special attor- ney for the state to prepare a suitable indictment which you will cause your foreman to endorse "a true bill". However, if you are dealing with some crime other than murder such procedure is not neces- sary. That is to say if you con- clude that some one should be prosecuted for some crime other than murder it is not necessary that such prosecution should be in- stituted by an indictment of the grand jury. It is entirely within the province of the special attor- ney for the state to initiate a prosecution by filing an information signed by him. The second method by which you may proceed, there fore, Is by filing a report stating that you find that there Is evidence which offers probable ground for the prosecution of such and such a person, or persons, for such and such a crime or crimes. If you do that I think you may rely on the special attorney for the state to take the proper steps to initiate prosecutions by filing proper infor- nations. On the whole, I appre- hend that you will find this second method of procedure, that is the filing of report, or reports bet ter method than the filing of for nal indictments if you conclude that some prosecutions should be started, but you are perfectly free to use either method.
 Conclusion
 If after full investigation YOU come to the conclusion that there is not probable ground for insti- tuting criminal proceedings against anyone of course you are not bound to make any report. The public in- terest in the affairs which you are to investigate, however, is such that would strongly recommend that you file some sort of a report and If it should eventuate that your in- vestigations lead you to the con- clusion that no probable ground exists for any criminal prosecution 1t would certainly be proper for you to file 8 report with the court saying so. You, of course, under stand that any indictment which you present or any report which you make to the Court of your findings must be one which has been agreed to by at least twelve of your number.
 "In Your Hands"
 I am now about to take a recess of the Court. After I do so you will be conducted to a room up- stairs which you may use from now on as a place for your sessions. Probably the most you can do today is to organize and make plans for your future sessions. From now on, however, the conduct of your sessions is entirely in your hands. As you proceed with the perform ance of your office you will bear in mind the solemn obligation which you undertook in the oath to which you assented. Will you bear continually in mind that you have sworn to diligently inquire after and due preSentment make of all breaches of the law which shall come to your knowledge, you will present no man from envy, hatred nor malice. neither will you leave any man unpresented from love. fear or affection or in hope of re- ward; but you will present cases truly as they come to your knowl- edge, according to the best of your understanding and according to law.

 Judge Inglis was asked by Attor- ney Peck to include in his charge to the jury that: l. No spectators be allowed in the grand jury room; 2. That they do the interrogating of witnesses by themselves; 3. That no Stenographers be allowed in the grand jury room; 4. That no counsel for the state be allowed in the jury room. These measures were de- scribed by Peck as in line with the necessity of secrecy of the investi- gation.
 Judge Inglis Answers
 Judge Inglis answered Peck with the statement that he had consid- cred these questions, but would al- low the states attorney and Sten- ographer Raymond w. Smith to enter the room during the investi- gation.
 Attorney Peck Withdraws
 Following the denial of his mo- lions, to which exceptions were taken, Attorney Peck withdrew from the courtroom, and Judge Inglis commenced his charge of the jury. Complete text of the charge will be found elsewhere in The Democrat. At the completion of the charge, Judge Inglls called recess, during which time the jury was led to the top floor chambers, where the in- vestigation will hold sway.

Of social porblems, he said.
Pointing out the great changes
which have taken place in industry
and society during recent years, he
told the lawyers that the industrial
development has meant the separation

Have We not lost somewhat of our

Paris Air Raid
Defense Broad
Master Plan Provides De-

BY HERBERT C. KING
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Jan. 81. (UP).-Al-
though attended by surprisingly
little publicity, the possible de-
Tense of the Paris region is fore
most in the minds of the authori-
ties.
Officials of the prefecture OF
the Seine department and pretec-
turc of police are working out de-
tails of a defense plan comprising
the dispersal of the inhabitants
of Paris in the eventuality of a
major air raid
1t was announced recently that
a special brochure entitled, What
to Do in Case of an Air Raid"
was being prepared and would be
ready for early distribution. .
Every Thursday, at noon, all
sirens throughout the city remind
citizens of the grim realities of
war with their lugubrious howl
ing. to make sure that they are
in good order and ready for an
"alert."
I'll DlNlDGb IN ~
To facilitate the task OF pas,
sive defense the City of Paris and
it's suburbs have been divided into
small sectors each Of which is to
be provided with bomb and gas
proof shelters. To help finance
these projects municipal auth0rl-
ties have been granted more than
100000.
Already some of Paris lowest
lying underground railway sta
tons are undergoing Transforming

special air conduits. These are
the stations Place des Fetes and

possibility of effectuating similar
