Bedtime Stories

tinued to find good things to eat
at several of his favorite eating
places, things of which he was very
fond and which had been put there
by the stranger, who visited the
Laughing Brook and the Smiling
Pool every day. At first, as you
know, Jerry had been very sus-

stranger was watching him. How
ever, he always tOk care to see
that the stranger had no gun with
him. Had the stranger had a gun
Jerry would at once have been sus-
picious and would have kept out of
sight. AS it was he would keep right
on working until the Stranger left
and then hurry over to see what
he had left for him. Jerry was
very happy and quite without fear.

ing that the winter was going to be
a hard one, and he intended to be
fully prepared for it. So he worked
hard making the roof and walls of
his house thicker than usual and
making his tunnels in the banks of
the Smiling Pool, so that no matter
how hard the winter might be he
would be comfortable.

good things were. But he had found
no trace of trap and by the end
of the week he had ceased to think
of traps at all.
The result was that now Jerry
thought of nothing but the good
things to eat and scrambled up on
the bank and the old log which lay
partly in the water, as carelessly as
he had been in the habit of doing
before the stranger appeared. His
one thought was to get those good

STATUTES QUOTED ON JAIL RELEASE
Section l725 Cited in Con- nectiOn With Grand

With much consideration appar- ently being given by the grand jury to the release of Waterbury prison- CTS from New Haven county jail last election day, the question has arisen as to the legal procedure for such release.

|Nazis Grab Austrian Ex : Chancellor,
 But Not His "Teu Tale" Documents

Dollfuss was assassinated by Nazi thugs, the letters between Schu- schnigg and Mussolini in which the Italian dictator expressed in burn ing words his horror at the crime which ended the life of his little Austrian friend.
 It is not known for certain, but it is believed many of the Mus solini letters not only pledged Italy to preserve Austria's inde- pendent entity as a nation, but also contained rather bitter and biting references to Hitler and the Nazi regime in Germany. This was before the famous Berlin Rome axis.
 There are hints that many of the documents may be printed in vol ume drawn up by one of Schusch- nigg's friends. But pressure is being brought to bear upon him not to do SO for fear of the vengeance that might be wrecked on the captive and helpless ex-Chancellor.

HEAVY FIGHTING
 NEAR CASTELL0N

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, June 22-(UP)-The heaviest fighting of the entire Mediterranean coast campaign was reported today from the Castellon front where the loyalists put up desperate resistance to the nationalist advance along the road to Valencia.
 Terrific heat and stifling dust made the Nationalist drive difficult. Despite the obstacles, the National ists reported they were making methodical if slow progress in their march southward, with Burriana and surrounding positions in the Seco river area their objective. Bur- riana is 36 miles from Valencia and 17 miles from Sagunto, the next important town in the path of the NationalistS.
 The Loyalists, according to dis patches from the Nationalist lines, were concentrated at three points on the Valencia highway, attempt- ing to hold up the insurgent ad- vance by bringing into play power- ful artillery units.
 Loyalist sources reported that their forces held back all National ist attacks, particularly in the Bur riana sector.

MINISTER, EIGHT,
 MARRIES MAN 2
Rev. C. E. Jaynes, "Called to Preach at 2" Weds
 Cleveland Couple

Rev. Charles E. Jaynes, eight yeasr old and three feet tall, who will be remembered by Waterburi- ans for his marvellous address at Buckingham hall one Sunday after noon last year, married 21-year old Florence Brinkman and Clifton Hoffman, 23, in Cleveland, last evening. The United Press said that Charles, said to be the worlds youngest ordained minister, per- formed the ceremony last night be- fore large crowd of wedding guests in the Four Square Gospel church, of which his parents are joint pas tors.
 He went through the proceedings without stumbling over the longer words of the ritual and concluded with the prayer, May divine grace crown this marriage" Then with a wave of his dimpled hands he told the husband to "kiss the oride".
 The little minister, who said he was "called" to preach when he was two and half years old, was ordained last summer. He has been preaching from time to time for several years, his mother writ ing the sermons. Her sermons are all right, he said, but he nccasion- ally feels she is over-zealous ir her interpretations of the piece of scrip ture which goes:

JAP AFFR0NT IS
 REPORTED TODAY
American Slapped By Jap= anese Sentry; New Jer-
 sey Man Involved

Shanghai. June 22-(UP)-A new Japanese-A American incident" was reported today in Nanking where an American was slapped in the face by Japanese sentry.
 Dr. J. c. Thompson, of New Brunswick, N. J., attached to the American-owned Nanking Univer- sity, was said to have been the vic- tim of the face-slapping. He was assaulted while attempting to pro- tect lis rickshaw coolie from beat ing by the sentry.
 John M. Allison, American. em- bassy official who remained in Man. king to look after American inter- ests there after the Japanese took the former capital in December, lodged a formal protest with the Japanese provisional authorities.
 Allison had his face slapped last Jan. 25, when he went to Japanese headquarters to inquire about a Chinese woman servant arrested by the Japanese at the Nanking university and taken to prison camp
 The Japanese authorities were said to have denied that the sentry slapped Thompson. They accused Thompson of interfering with the sentry in the performance of his duty.
 Allison refused to accept the Jap anese reply. He was said to have told the authorities that their ver- sion of the incident was unsatisfac- tory.
 Local consular officials declined to comment on the incident. It was understood, however, that addition al exchanges of notes between AL lison and the Japanese authorities brought no settlement.
 Meanwhile, reports from Hankow, the provisional Chinese capital where what probably will be the climaXing battle of the war is in the making, said that Japanese ma rines had landed on Namoa Is- land, north of the important port of Swatow on the southeast coast.
 Heavy fighting between the ma- rines and the Chinese garrison there took place throughout the night and during this morning, according to the Chinese reports.

CITY LEADS STATE
 IN SCARLET FEVER

Scarlet fever continued in prev ajence beyond the normal amount for the season in Waterbury today and five new cases have been added to the 16 reported last week by the local health department to the state.
 pr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, remarked that the cases are mild and, for that reason in main, have not been reported to the health department, as the law requires. Be- cause of the failure to report the Ncases, there has been spread of the infection, he said.
 Waterbury reported one case of diphtheria last week, two of measles. with one new case today; one case of whooping cough, with three new cases this week. But the 16 cases of scarlet fever here last week rep resented the greatest number of cases reported from any city in the state, the state health department figures showed.
 Meriden reported 39 cases of whooping cough and New Haven 10 during the past week.

By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 London, June 21.-Kurt von Sch- uschnigg, the blonde, good-looking ani last Chancellor of an indepen- dent Austria, is somewhere in Great Germany" under the surveil- lance of the dreaded Nazi secret police, the Gestapo, and the chances are that he will never regain his freedom.
 When Hitler marched an army in- to Austria and seized that country last March, one of the first things the Gestapo did was to make fev- erish search, not only of Schusch- nigg's personal papers, but of the Austrian archives. They came back with empty hands.
 Friends of the young Chancel- Tor had previously smuggled out of Austria a large number of vital papers. These are now said to be in safe deposit box either in France or England, beyond the reach of Hitler's minions.
 Dynamite In
 Schuschnigg's Story
 If ever Schuschnigg were to get his freedom and succeed in coming to country like England, France or America, he would be In a posi- tion to write sensational book that would make all Europe take notice.
 Section one would contain the documentary proofs of Nazi ma chinations in the affairs of Austria, the money that was poured in from Germany to organize the pro-Hit- lerites, the plots that were woven.
 Section two would be Schusch- nigg's own version of his famous interview with Hitler at Ber- chtesgaden in February this year. Schuschnigg went there at Hitler's insistence. He took along with him the documents just mentioned-or copies of them. He thought to con- front the Nazi leader with his proofs. At the back of his mind there was the belief that fear of publication of these documents might induce Hitler to let Austria alone.
 But he did not get much chance to talk. Nobody does at an "in- terview" with Hitler. The Nazi- dictator did the talking. He wav- ed aside Schuschnigg's documents. He entered into one of his usual Niagaras of angry, excited booming words, hour after hour. When it was all over Schuschnigg was almost 8 nervous wreck. It was then he
