Trio Quizzed
In GGngster
Execution

DETROIT, April 20 GN.S0.
Two men and a woman, arrested
when police and Federal agents
found "the biggest gangster
arsenal since prohibition days" in
a raid on their apartment, today

appearance of Jack Ekelman,
racket" labor organizer missing
10 days, the Thanksgiving Day

FEDERAL OFFENSE
Police said among the guns
found in their possession was
.38-caliber automatic converted
into a machine gun by a special
magazine that permits the dis
charge of a full round of car
tridges with a single pull of the
trigger. Possession of such a gun,
police said, is a Federal offense

had an agreement with Ekelman
in which he was given free rein
to organize butchers and Ekelman
was given monopoly on the
organization of BARRIERS.

N. E. DELEGATES
STUDY PLAN TO
unite CHURCHES
Two Bishops Oppose
Merger Proposal

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April 20
(IN.S0-Delegates to the most
important conference in the his
tory of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, today launched
debate on a question directly az
fecting the religious lives of some
100000 persons.
The question was unification
with the other two major branches
Of Methodism. the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, known as the North
ern Branch, and the Methodist
Protestant Church.
FINAL DECISION
The final decision rests with the
twenty-third quadrennial confer
ence of the Southern Church
which began here yesterday. Both
the Northern and the Protestant
Church have Endorsed the plan.
The merger has been attempted
at frequent intervals in past years.
There is a determined group on
hand to fight notification, led by
the laymen's organization for
preservation of the Southern
Methodist Church, and by two
dissenting members of the college
Of bishops.
For the first time, the tradi-
tional Episcopal address, delivered
at the opening of the conference,
did not bear the signatures of all
members of the college of bishops.
TWO DISSENTERS
The dissenters were Bishop War
rem A. Gambler, of Atlanta, and
Bishop Collins Denny, of Rich
mond.. In marked departure from
tradition, they presented min
ority address," in which they de-
clared they could not subscribe to
portions of the Episcopal address
which they termed "tantamount
to recommending" unification Of
the three churches.
The Episcopal address had re-
ferred to the proposed plan of uni
fication and had declared it was
worthy of thorough considera-
ton"

CHAMPIONSHIP ALMOST CERTAIN FOR THE WINNER
Manchester and Derby to Play for Spot in Hoop
 Finals
BY JOHN A. CLUNEY

Naugatuck's fleet basketball Grey hounds have lost but one game since the 1937-38 season opened last De- cember, and including more than twenty games, but tonight such a fine record will mean little or noth- ing if Naugatuck is beaten by a smart, aggressive Bristol team that many think will come through with the Class "A" championship of Con- necticut by beating Manchester or Derby tomorrow after disposing of the boys from the rubber borough tonight.
 Naugy Picked
 Yet, the combination of blazing speed, scoring power on the part of at least three Naugatuck regulars, and the old Naugatuck drive is good enough in the opinion of the writer to win a tight ball game. If either team is "off" the score may be Is points apart at the finish Nauga- tuck should have about five points the best of it otherwise, with free throwing to play very important part in the final result. Bristol's comeback from 13 point deficit within 16 minutes to win from Windham is the tipoff that there is another team from the Bell City with real chance to cop the crown. Naugatuck did not have to bear down too much in beating Stam- ford, which means that the boys could have saved themselves for the big effort tonight, while Bristol had to give everything it had to stay in the tournament.
 AS for Manchester and Derby, the biggest basketball surprise in a de- cade can come about if Derby, a class B school gets into the finals with Naugatuck, another Class B school, and comes through for the championship, both teams having eliminated all the so-called better teams from larger schools through out the state. Derby is a real "darkhorse" and "hot" one right now, having shot its way into the semi-finals, feat which no one gave it chance to do prior to the opening games of the playdowns.

BOROUGH NETMEN
 TIE SOMERVILLE
Y Volley Ball Champions ship to Be Decided Satur=
 day, March l9

Naugatuck, March II Results of the New England Volley Ball League last Saturday have just been received and Somerville has now tied Naugatuck for first place in the league standing. The Naugatuck combination has been in bit of a slump the past few. weeks and in addition has been hitting the hard part of the seasons schedule. Last Saturday Naugatuck dropped three games and won six. Somerville won all their games last Saturday.
 The final tournament of the league schedule will be held at Bridgeport March 19. At the time Naugatuck will meet Bridgeport, Boston and Somerville. Naugy should win easily from Bridgeport and Boston. Somerville also should win easily from these two teams but the outcome of the Naugatuck- Somerville match is a toss up.
 Both teams are very evenly and equally determined to win. This match will decide the league championship. Present stand ingS follow.

WELLES IN BIG
 TEST TONIGHT
Must Win From Baldwins to Stay in Title Race;
 Hillies vs Gents

Whether or not the Welles A. c. will meet the Raymond Hillies in a play-of for the championship of the Washington Park Community House league depends on the outcome of their game with the Baldwin Props tonight in the feature of two- game program. In the opening game the Raymond Hillies, first round winners meet the Gents. A win for the Welles will give them the championship of the second round while on the other hand a win for the Props will throw the second round scramble into three- way tie between the Props, Welles and Community club. The Welles with "Squint" Murphy, Rocco Rim aldi, Weenie Zenick, Johnny Minor and Ray Kozen in the lineup are favorites to take the Props into camp tonight. The Kennymen will depend on Charley Lewis, Dave Bartolini, Romeo, Mazzerella and Riccutucci to hand the Welles their first defeat of the second round.
 The Hillies, winners over the Gents on two previous occasions this year should be able to make it three in row but from all ac- counts the Gents are determined to gain their first triumph over the Doughboys in two years and will be at full strength for the game.
 Jim Tracy will be the eleventh man on the floor and the starting time of the first game has been scheduled for o'clock instead of 7:30 due to the novena at St. Fran ciS church.

North End Rambler
 RumbIings
(By Chick Kramer)


 If there ever was a fighting team the Ramblers are it. Even after dropping several close ones, they still show the determination of which winning teams are made. Keep it up, boys!
 The following boys rate orchids for their splendid showing in the basketball squint: Gerty, Longo, Monico, Sereduck, Verrastro, Rubo, Yasinski, Bacco, Fernandez, and not to forget the personality kid, Vito Rollo.
 If figures given to me are correct Ed Gerty, stellar Rambler star is leading the Rambler scoring col- umn. Take bow, Ed.
 Lou Chestone, the coach of the Ramblers, deserves praise for the fine job he has done this year. The boys want you to know they appre- ciate it, Lou.
 Ang Ella ln my humble opinion is one of the most improved players on the Ramblers. Ditto for Joe King Kong" Yesinski-Woo Woo.
 Captain Rocco Longo, star center passes this along to the boys: If more time were concentrated on playing than on arguing, it would be better for all concerned. Righto!
