Hawaii. Most people think first of pineapples. But sugar brings in three times as much.
 NO PLACE FOR
 SPECULATORS
 Financially, Hawaii is almost 8 monopoly. It is controlled by 8 group of companies known as the | Big Five" Originally it was five families. Today 1t has grown into many families, but 1t is still five companies.
 The Big Five" made Hawaii in the first place, by gambling millions on sugar plantations, and they don't see why late-comers should reap part of the gravy. Almost everybody in Hawaii de- pends, directl yor indirectly, on the Big Five" They I'll nthe islands on a theory of benevolent pater- nalism," and dn defending them selves they point to living standard for laborers far above that on the mainland.
 WHAT TO DO
 WITH THE LAPS
 Probably no evenings conversa- ton between white men in Hawaii has been held in the last 40 years that didn't get around to the "Japa- nese problem"
 Hawaii today has around 400,- 900 people, and third of them are Japanese. To the visitor, they ap- pear to be assimilating rapidly. But the white resident in Hawaii says No" White men in Hawaii don't like to think what the Japanese would do in case of war. But the U. s. army has it's ideas about that.
 Hawaii is no burden on the U. s. It supports itself. And now 1t wants to be made a state. At least, some people want it made state. But it probably won't happen as long as the army and navy have anything to say-and they have plenty. WORDS CANNOT

It was known rift had developed between Cooney, chairman of the powerful senate finance committee, and Spellacy, following the senator's s withdrawal from their law firm re- gently.
 A city-Wide caucus fight loomed.
 Meantime, at the state Capitol, word spread that friends of State Insurance Commissioner John A. Blackall, former state senator and ally of Lonergan, were urging him to seek the Democratic nomination for Acknowledgements.
 What BiackaIl Said
 Several of my friends have made a suggestion along that line, but I have taken no position, feeling my first duty is to do good job where I am"
 He refused to comment further.
 Persons close to Spellacy were in- clined to scof at possibility he might be senatorial candidate against Maloney in 1940. 1 Tt is logical,' one of them said that if Lonergan is reelected, the Democratic party would accept an- other senatorial candidate from Hartford?"
 But political observers close to the state picture regarded Spellacy's probably withdrawal as mayor next year as a highly significant event with far-reaching implications. The mayor and Sen. Maloney have a strong enmity, especially regarding patronage matters, and reliable sources said Spellacy would snatch at an opportunity to knock off ! the Meriden senator.

 The officers then picked up Sum ma for questioning, after learning that he had been seen on Mill street shortly before the car was reported stolen. He said it had been stolen from Railroad Hill street.
 Other Four Taken In
 The other four were then picked up and, after questioning, were held for court. Zastaury and Calo had been arrested on vagrancy charges shortly after the burglary yester- early last night.
 Police claim that the stolen tires, valued at more than $200, were taken after the burglary to the cel- lar of Calo's home. They were al legedly being taken to another hid ing place when seen by Motor Pa trolmen Murphy and Mccarthy last night.
 At headquarters today, it was said that one of the men had admitted taking part in the burglary, and that strong evidence against the others had been secured
 Detective-Li Lieutenant William Fo- ley took part in the investigation of the burglary yesterday.

JUDGE INCLIS TO

fendants have filed such motions.
 To date, all issues of the. case have been decided in favor of the grand jury and Special Prosecutor Alcorn. No one of the defense mo- tions has been granted in previous decisions of Judge Inglis. It is ex- pected that if these decisions are also adverse to the contentious of the defense, Judge Inglis will set time for filing and arguing demurrers. The majority of defense counsel stated Tuesday that they did not believe they would file any demur- rers.
 Motion to Quash
 The motion to quash the infor- nation contends that the bench warrant issued for the arrest of the 27 men, by MT. Alcorn is illegal. In the motion to quash filed by Mayor Frank Hayes, the statute of limita- tions is claimed as a defense. A large number of the issues set up in the motion to quash were included in the pleas in abatement which were denied last week by Judge Inglis.
 The motion to expunge asks that certain portions of the information as pertaining to individual defen- dants. be deleted as immaterial to that individual.
 Bills of Particulars Motions for bills of particulars ask that MT. Acorn be obliged to set up exactly what charges he in- tends to prefer against certain de- fendants. It also asks for the pres entation of dates for certain al- legged activities of defendants, as well as the date of the start of the alleged conspiracy and the date each defendant became party thereto.

And what is Hawaii today-4o years after?
 Well, it is national defense, sugar, pineapples Japanese and paradise.
 The pure-blooded Hawaiians have dwindled to 20,000-a mere 20th of the whole population. Yet somehow ther spirit dominates the personal ity of the islands, and the slow soft nc-j of the old Hawaii remains.
 Hawaii is thoroughly modern. Honolulu is magnificent city of 150,000, and it has everything you could find on the mainland except skyscrapers. It even has traffic jams. The streets are a bizarre mixture of kimonoed Orientals, fancy-shirted Hawaiians, white-linened business men and radiant tourists.
 There are tight major islands in the Hawaiian group, stretching for nearly 400 miles. Five are important and we!i-inhabited.
 All of the islands came from VOL canoes which spouted out lava until it reached far above the surface of the ocean. The centuries weathered the lava slopes, plant life took hold, and today the Hawaiian group is a luxuriant green garden.
 ISLAND
 STRONGHOLD
 From the governments stand- point, HaWaiis No. l virtue is na- tional defense. Pearl Harbor puts our navy 2,400 miles closer to the Orient than it could be if we didn't have Hawaii.
 Oahu Island (which contains Honolulu and Pearl Harbor) is probably the most fiercely fortified spot under the American flag. The army has full division there the only full division now under arms. Giant guns line the shore on both sides of Honolulu.
 So modern is the army's motor equipment, and so thorough the plans, that any point on the entire islands coast can be reached and defended in 40 minutes.
 InduStrially, sugar is dominant in

 and Austria in the next few years, the memorandum said:
 Apart from the ethical aspect of the problem it will be practically impossible to provide shelter and the possibility of making a new start for hundreds of thousands of Ger man Jews if they are driven out of Germany in a state of complete des- titution."
 A memorandum from the Jewish agency for Palestine, signed by Chaim Weizmann, asked the confer ence ito emphatically protest against persecution by any country of any section of it's inhabitants on racial, religious or political grounds, particularly against a policy of physical persecution. economic ex- termination and expulsion which has reached it's worst forms in Ger many and Austria"
 Hatred Increasing
 Signed by Rabbi Stephen $. Wise, the World Jewish Congress memo- randum pointed out that anti semitism was increasing in Poland, Rumania and Hungary. Because of this, the congress asked the con- ference to warn these countries that they do not have the right to drive out their Jewish citizens.
 The memorandum said that Jew iSh immigrants to South American countries have helped create new industries, thus increasing the eco- homie independence of these coun- tries. It urged countries with large, uncultiVated areas to open them up for settlement by Jews
 Myron c. Taylor, chief United States delegate, agreed to accept the presidency of the conference on condition that Senator Henry Ber- enger of France accept the honor ary presidency. The compromise ended 48-hour duel of politeness in which France and the United States sought to foist the presi- dency on each other.
 The result is that the United States, which invoked the confer ence, becomes more responsible than ever for it's success or failure, while the responsibility of France and other European powers is dimin- ished.

 Some Form of Election
 After the first year, it was re- ported, Franco hoped that some form of election would be possible to decide what should be the tu- ture constitution of the state.
 Any assurance by Franco that there would be no foreign domina- tion after the Civil War would be news of great importance to Great Britain and France. Any foothold permitted to Italy or Germany in Spain would be regarded as a direct menace to Britain and France.
 In this connection, reliable sources said that the cabinet went thorough ly into the Mediterranean situation at it's weekly meeting yesterday and that Viscount Halifax, foreign secre- tary, reported that the Earl of Perth, Ambassador at Rome, was unable to encourage the view that Britain and Italy might see the Mediterranean situation in the same light at pres ent.
 It was reported that Halifax said that Premier Benito Mussolini was eager that the British-Italian friend- ship treaty be put into effect before the summer recess of parliament due to start in three weeks.
 Spain Must Be Settled
 However, informants said that a majority of cabinet members in- sisted that there must be a com plete settlement regarding Spain before the treaty was put into effect.
 According to information, the gen. erAl tone of the Italian press in the last few days, the tone of Musso- lini's speech at Aprilia Monday in which he criticised the democracies and information regarding Italian airplane activity in the Balearic 1s- lands aided in hardening the cabi- net attitude.

ticn with troublous conditions.
 Thirty persons, 24 Arabs and six Jews, were killed and 63 Arabs and 10 Jews wounded in riots yesterday.
 The most serious incident was at Haifa where 18 Arabs and two Jews were killed and 60 Arabs and Jews wounded in fight at the munich pal vegetable market.
 The Kingsway, in the center of Haifa, was still smeared with blood today. There was blood in pools and on discarded shoes and cloth ing which lay in the streets and on sidewalks. First aid workers were busy all night long collecting cas- ualties. Ambulances and Stretcher bearers sought victims, and taXicabs and buses were communicated to take the overflow to hospital.
 Curfew Extended
 Because of this riot, authorities extended the curfew to start at 2 p. m. and end only at 6 a. m. at Haifa.
 Touvia Dounia, Jewish engineer ing contractor and brother in law of Dr. Chain Weizmann, president of the Jewish agency, died last night of wounds suffered in the Haifa fighting.
 As in previous cases, reports of the Haifa rioting conflicted. It had been reported that a bomb was thrown into an Arab crowd at the vegetable market and that Arabs retorted. Jews said today, however that the bomb was thrown after fighting started.
 Ten Arab policemen were held by British authorities today, charged with shooting indiscriminately dur ing riots.

Siege of Key Defense

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, July -,(UP) - Nationalist forces laid siege today to the town of Mules, one of the key defenses of Sagunto on the coast, immediate objective of the insurgents in their drive on Valencia.
 The Nationalists reported that the Lo-'alist lines had crumbled at both ends of a 100-mile front from Teruel to Sagunto. Forces under General Miguel Aranda stormed Mules in a drive toward Chilches. General Garcia Valino's Navareese infantry crossed over the first crests of the Sierra Espadan toward Segorbe and troops under General Jose Varela swept down the Turia river valley toward the junction of Teruel, Valencia and Cuenca provinces.
 NationaIists Held Back
 Only in the area around Mora dc Rubielos were the Nationalists turned back. At that point, a Loyal ist stronhold since the beginning of the war, the Natiopalists have been held back for weeks so that now their lines stretch in wide arc from the coast, throughout Mora de Rubielos to the north, and thence southward to the Valencia province border at Ademuz.
 With Varela ready to carry the war into Cuenca and Valencia prov inces for the first time since the conflict started two years sSyo Valino was only nine miles from Segorbe, across the Espadan ranges, and Aranda only Il miles north Of Sagunto.
