New York, June 22.-(UP)-Sec- retary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes and his vivacious 25-year old bride secluded themselves in today.
 They will leave soon by train for Ickes' Maryland farm near Wash ington.
 Although neither would disclose their plans, the slender, red-haired wife of the 64-year old cabinet member said they would almost certainly" leave today for Washing ton. After a short stay there, she said, they would go to "Headwa- ters Farm" near Olney, Md

BENSON LOOMS AS
 WINNER IN MINN.
Now 6,00O Votes Ahead of Petersen - Closest Pri=
 mary in States History

Minneapolis. Minn., June 22- (UP)-Gov. Elmer A. Benson ran up a lead of more than 5000 votes to- day in the close contest for the gu- bernatorial nomination of Mime sota's Farmer-Labor party.
 With less than 600 small and scat tered precincts of the states total of 3,739 remaining to be reported, it appeared likely that he had de- feated former Governor Hjalmar Petersen.
 The totals, from 3,153 precincts, as tabulated unofficially by the United Press, were:
 Benson, 185,838.
 Petersen, 179,264.
 Benson's majority, 6,574.
 In order for Petersen to overcome the governors lead in the remaining count. it would be necessary for him to poll majority of more than II votes in each uncounted precincts.
 There was a mathematical pos sibility that he might do so, but not even the strongest Petersen sup porter saw any actual hope of such a thing.
 The Benson margin was expected to be increased even more, if any thing, since a block of votes in St. Louis county, labor stronghold, was still to be reported. In that county the governor has run more than two to one ahead of Petersen.
 Harold E. Stassen, of South St. Paul, was an easy winner in the Re- publican gubernatorial contest. With 3053 precincts reported, he held an

JAMES ROOSEVELT
 UNDER TREATMENT
May Have Operation at Mayo Clinic to Remove
 Gastric Ulcer

Rochester, Minn., June 22.-(UP) James Roosevelt, the Presidents eldest son and secretary, may be submitted to an operation within the next week for removal of a gastric ulcer unless stringent course of treatments, which he is undergoing at Mayo clinic, produces a definite improvement in his condi- ton, the United Press learned from a reliable source today.
 If Mayo physicians decide to op- crate the informant said. it will not be before Tuesday. In the meantime every effort will be made to treat the stomach disorder by diet and rest.
 Final decision as to whether the operation will be performed rests with a clinic surgeon who is on vacation. He will return soon.
 The United Press learned from other sources that Dr. Waltman Walters, surgical head of the clinics gastric section. is on vaca- ton and is expected back Tuesday. He attended conference regarding the case when young Roosevelt en- tered the clinic last month for an examination. At that time the ail- ment was diagnosed as a small gas trio ulcer but Roosevelt's general condition was reported good.
 He arrived yesterday by plane and went immediately ot the clinic for another examination. His wife is expected here within few days.
 Dr. George B. Eusterman, chief of the gastric section. declined to comment about Roosevelt's condi- ton. However. business office at taches said they had learned his condition was "very good".

PUMP PRIMINC BY
 DOLLARS STARTED
Signing of Lending=Sp ing Bill By President
 Opens Money Dykes

Washington. June 22-(UP) - The public works administra tion opened the multi billion dollar pump priming drive against depres- sion today less than "A hours after President Roosevelt signed the lending-spending bill.
 The agency has had a major por- tion of its program ready for sev- eral weeks and later today will an- nounce the first grants to commun- ities for public construction under its $2,OO0,000,000 program.
 By the end of this week, PWA officials will have announced ap- proval of 2,0O0 projects costing about $6O0,0O0,00O. All were ap- proved by the president during the weeks Congress debated the recov- cry bill.
 The bill, including huge appro- priations for the unemployed through the works progress admin istration and PWA, and for farm CTS through price parity payments and the farm security administra- ton, had hardly been made law by MT. Roosevelt, when he declared that business was better than most people believe and predicted that it would improve.
 Simultaneously with announce ment at his home in Hyde Park, N. Y, that he had signed the bill, MT. Roosevelt said that he would broadcast a fireside chat from Washington Friday night. The to- pic will be general, he said, but it was assumed that he will explain the aims of the recovery program and give a general review of dom- estic economic conditions.
 MT. Roosevelt prefaced his an- nouncements by announcing fig ures which, he said, revealed that estimates of national income for the first three months of 1888 pointed to a 12-month total in ex- cess of $6O,0o0, 100000, compared with $69,800, 100000 for 1887. He cited this figure as definite im- provement over what had been an- ticipated for 1938- approximately $55, ,000,000,00O.
 Departing from the traditional White House rule, he allowed cor respondents to quote his summa- tion of the general economic situa- tion. It was:
 "There have been few rain- drops coming from the heavens that probably will be followed by much needed showers"

BOYS WIN PRAISE
 OF COURT JUDGE
Alertness, Intelligence Commended - Aided in
 Arrest of Thieves

The alertness and intelligence of two boys whose information led to the apprehension of pair of thieves was praised by Judge Edward Mascolo in city court today. The praise was for Louis Greatorex, 13, of g Watertown avenue, and Otto Paparazzo, 12, of 32 Wilson street, both pupils at Russell school, who saw two men steal two crates of tomatoes and crate of oranges from in front of a Fulton Market store at 9 Watertown avenue last Saturday morning and gave police the marker numbers of the mems car, and accurate des- cription of it, and detailed des- cripition of the men.
 The accused, John Dessano, 32, of 685 Berkshire avenue, Bridgeport, and Lawrence Johnson, 28, of 467 State street, Bridgeport, were sen tenced today to serve 30 days in jail. The court had deferred sen tence from yesterday. when the two lads positively identifiel the men as the thieves.
 If many adults had as much in- telligence as these two boys said Judge Mascolo, T don't think we'd have many complaints about crimes of this sort. The boys arc to be highly commended"

Timely Intervention of Rep. Smith, Senator
 Lonergan Aids City DELAY IN APPROVING
 PROJECTS IS FATAL Special Intervention Was Needed to Get Them In-
 cluded in Big Drive

Waterbury's WPA projects involving jobs of 400 pres ently employed here, jobs for 470 more men listed as eligi- ble by the welfare depart ment, were saved late yester- day by concerted action of Senator Augustine / Loner- gan and Representative J. Joseph Smith, of Waterbury. Informed by telephone by Mayor Frank Hayes that New Haven WPA authorities yes- terday had told him the projects employing the 400 local men would close down as of next pay day, Sem ator Lonergan and Representative Smith called on Washington WPA authorities and obtained approval for the blanket E88 WPA project providing for the employment of the 870 local men. Thereafter, the ap- pIoval was sent to Hyde Park for signature by President Roosevelt.
 Project Outline Held Up
 Mayor Hayes was told yesterday by WPA authorities that delay in submission of the Waterbury prof eet had resulted in failure of ap- proval of the matter involving an expenditure of about $800,000 here. William E. Kennedy, local WPA su- pervisor, reported that the projects outline, required by Washington authorities, had been held up for several weeks in the office of Con- troller Sherwood L. Rowland, await ing his signature.
 The controller had been directed by the board of finance at meet ing several weeks ago to sign the city's application for the federal money grants. When, few days ago, the controller did sign the ap- plication, the time for filing such requests for funds was past.

 TO PLEAD TODAY No Other Course, Ruled Judge in Denying De- murrerS of Defense
(BY A STAFF REPORTER)

Hartford, June 22-Three of four legislators arraigned in Superior Court here today on charges brought by the Waterbury Extraordinary Grand Jury that they accept ed bribes pleaded not guilty early this afternoon and elected trial by the court. It was indicated that they will not be placed on trial until at least the fall term, which begins in September. Judge Robert L. Munger in Superior Court over-. ruled demurrers brought by coun- sel for Representative John b. Thoms of Waterbury and former Representative Daniel F. B. Hickey of Stamford.
 Pleas Of Innocent <
 Rep. Thoms, Senator Joseph H.. Lawlor of Waterbury and Senator Matthew Daly of New Haven en- tered pleas of innocence as soon as the court had announced its rul- ing on the demurrers and on a mo- ton, brought on behalf of MT. Thoms, to strike out the charge brought by the state through Spe- cial Prosecutor Hugh M. Alcorn.
 Ex-Rep. Hickey who left the courthouse here after Judge Mum ger earlier in the day had ordered the taking of pleas postponed for an indefinite period, was to return here this afternoon. He was also ex- pected to plead not guilty.
 The court refused a request by Special Prosecutor Alcorn that the three accused who pleaded not guilty be forbidden to make any change in their election of trial by court. Judge Munger declared he could pass no such order.
 Denied Defense Claims
 In over-ruling the demurrers, af- ter arguments which lasted until early afternoon, Judge Munger de- nied claims by attorneys for Thoms and Hickey that the information was insufficient in that it did not allege InaC a corrupt bargain had been made for influence exerted by the legislators on behalf of any legisla- ton.
 There is no other course I can take" said the judge, adding that he did not plan even to file writ ten memorandum of decision. The information" he said, seems to be as clear as crystal"

POWDERS CUSTER DEMAND
Alcorn, Atty McDonough Argue Hotly Right to
 Prosecute Here

Judge Ernest A. Inglis of superior court today had under advisement the charges of Alderman Thomas P. Kelly, that Hugh M. Alcofn was never legally appointed special prosecutor in the local investigation and further than that, Lawrence L. Lewis was never legally disqual- fled from the case until he resigned as states attorney.
 Arguments on the quo warranto proceedings of MT. Kelly against Special Prosecutor Alcorn were heard yesterday afternoon in su- perior court, and Judge Inglis re- served decision. By his remarks, 1t is expected that Judge IngliS will consider the matter at least a week before filing decision.
 Alderman Rely, one of the N named for arrest by the grand jury, claims that upon the disqualified ton of Lewis, States Attorney Samuel E. Hoyt of New Haven should have been named to take over the investigation of the ad- ministration affairs. Through his counsel, Attorney Thomas F. Mc- Donough of New Britain, he main tained that Hoyt is the senior states attorney in New Haven county ana has jurisdiction in Waterbury.
 It was further argued for the de- fense that Alcorns appointment was illegal because there was no cause pending in which the state of Con- necticut was complainant. According to Attorney McDonough, this condl- ton is necessary before a special attorney may be named.
 Special Prosecutor Alcorn termed Attorney McDonough's arguments ridiculous" and silly" With refer ence to the defense counsels argu- nents he said, T had no difficulty

NO Airplanes At
 Thames Regatta

New London, Conn.,, June g -UP)-Lieut. Commander J. E. Whitbeck, commandant of the coast guard base, said today that airplanes would not be all lowed to land or take off from the Thames river Friday dur ing the Harvard regatta, nor would they be allowed to anchor during the races.
 A six-mile speed limit for spectators boats also would be enforced, he said.
 For the first time in many years only one observation train will be available, operating on the west side of the river. This will be composed of 5. cars, accommodating $500 passen- gers.
 The decision not to run an ob- servation train on the east bank was made because of the fact the varsity event will be run upstream, affording poor visibility of the course from the east side.
