 WPA Rolls Kept Up
 MT. Roosevelt said the added ap- propriation would allow WPA to maintain its rolls at the present ap- proximate total of 1,950,000 persons over the next five months. Unless granted, he said, a sharp reduction must be instituted. The increase also will allow "a reasonc ble measure of relief for those who have recently become unemployed and are in need"
 The increase requested by MT Roosevelt will make total ot $2,OO9, 100000 available during this fiscal year for relief purposes and would increase the prospective de- felt for the fiscal year to $1,338,- 100000.
 According to the best estimate available at this time," MT. Roose- welt advised Bankhead, "it appears that during the past three months approximately 3,00O,000 persons have lost their jobs with private em- ployers."
 This increase in unemployment could not of course, have been fore seen at the time the last relief ap- propriation was under consideratio
 Hundreds of thousands of needy unemployed persons have recently applied for relief work which could not be provided for them with the funds on hand.
 "It has become increasingly clear that these needs cannot be met un- less employment by the Works Progress Administration is increased immediately"
 The president said that the relief funds presently available permitted employment of an average of 1,7000,- 900 persons throughout the fiscal year.
 No Change in Finances
 Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., said there would be no change in the treaSury's financing plans between now and March 15 as a result of President Roosevelt's request for additional relief funds. He would not commit himself beyond that date.

 Mclaughlin answered, "Yes."
 Marihuana Addict
 In his opening statement to the jury three days ago, Mclaughlin declared that Mrs. Sohl smoked cig- arets when she was IA, and that three years ago she became 8 mari huana cigaret addict.
 Reginald Parnell, attorney for Miss Owens, indicated that her de- fense would be that she was domi- mated by, and became a Twill slave" of Mrs. Sohl.
 Mclaughlin announced that Mrs. Soh's husband, Frank, who is serv- ing a six-year term in reforma- tory for forgery, would testify for the defense. When Sohl entered court for the first time yesterday, his wife's stern, thin lips parted in a smile, and she waved to him.

tuary, 26, of Emerald street.
 Held under bonds of $500 for hearings tomorrow are: Anthony Urban, 21, of 159 Washington ave- nue; Eugene DeLillo, 32, of 34 North Elm street: and William DeLillo, 34 of 21 Water street.
 Officers Making Arrests
 Taking part in the arrests, with Chief Inspector Stevens in charge, were the following officers: Detec- tive-Lieutenants John Leary, Connie Shanahan, John Calvin, Edward McElligott, Henry Johnson, Matthew Balanda, Joseph Bendler, and Detective Anthony Mariana, all members of the detective bu- reau. also Lieutenants Fred Hickey and Patrick Moylan, and Officers Ernest Pakul and Patrick Hobart of the vice squad.
 Significant is the fact that at least two of the men arrested were al- legged members of the so-called North End Gang" whose crimes terrorized the city several years ago. This group, responsible for num- Der of armed hold-ups and bur- glaries, among them the robbery of policeman on duty, was rounded up and several of its members sent to state prison.
 Struck Too Near Center
 The arrests were apparently de- cided on when the burglary gang working in the city since last fall made so bold Tuesday night as to strike within a short distance of Exchange Place by attempting to break open safe at Everybody Market, at East Main and Brook streets. Only two nights before the same gang broke into the Laurel restaurant, 598 South Main street, and footed a safe of $450.
 CIimaxed Many Breaks
 These two crimes climaxed a series of burglaries which began last au- tumn. Since then, there have been at least a half-dozen safe robberies and some scores of burglarieS. Sim ilarity of the crimes led police to ascribe many of them to the same gang.
 Police were reticent about discuss ing the arrests today. Reports that several of the suspects had been definitely implicated in some of the recent crimes in Waterbury could not be confirmed.
 Tenth Man Arrested
 The police drive against local suspects resulted in 10th arrest this afternoon. LieutS. Matthew Balanda and Joseph Bender ar- rested Joseph Wasky, 21, of Sun crest avenue. on technical va- grancy charge. He was being ques- toned at headquarters this after lSoon.

WAGE CUT FEAR
 IN STEEL PACT

(Continued from Page D quire them.
 Indications that the union would fight any attempt to use the clause to reduce wages were seen ill state ments by Philip Murray, s. w. o. c. posalS and in a recent declaration by John L. Lewis that the CIO would fight vigorously any plan to decrease wages.
 Although the s. w. o. c. was un- successful in its attempt to obtain guarantee of no wage cuts, both Murray and Lewis hailed the in definite" extension as a victory for labor and a protection for the wages of approximately 240,000 workers af- fected by it.
 We are of the opinion" said Mur- ray, that the agreements definitely stem the tide of wage slashing which has been imminent through out the country. Heretofore there has been a decided heSitancy on the part of consumers to purchase steel, due to the belief in many circles that price slashing would take place. This was to be followed by wage reductions.
 "Hesitancy on the part of buyers should now be set at rest. Likewise should apprehension on the part of workers concerning wage reduc- tions."
 In Washington, Lewis declared:
 This action gives leadership to the confused and bewildered in busi- ness because it charts a definite course which all industry will do well to follow.
 Tt preserves the current wage structure and standards. It main- tains the buying power of labor except as curtailed by shrunken work opportunity"
 Worked Out In Conference
 The agreement, worked out in con- ferences between representatives of U. s. Steel and the s. w. O. C., extends indefinitely" the unions which was to have expired on Feb. 28. Leaving wages subject to pos sible readjustment, it retains the $5-a-day minimum and time and half for overtime. It also retains the 40-hour week, paid vacations for workers of five years service, the seniority system governing promo tions and lay-offs, fnd the system of grievance committees in the mills, and continues to recognize the union as collective bargaining agency only for its members.

Inglis, that justice has been assigned to follow the local case in its subsequent happenings.
 If at any time he may so choose, MT. Alcorn, may however, go be- fore the court before the comple- tion of the investigation and seek fees, as compensation to the date of application.
 In the event that grand jury is called, that expense will also be burdened by the state.

WARDEN SPEAKS
 ABOUT CAPONE

San Francisco, Feb. 10 (UP) - Alcatraz Islands Warden, James A. Johnson, announced today that Al Capone was lying placidly on a prison hospital cot, that his mental breakdown had been without viol- ence and that he was getting no special treatment.
 It was the warden's first official statement about his most notorious prisoner, and he was piqued by the reports and inquiries that have been made of the former Chicago gang leader since it was learned two days ago that he had lost his mind while serving the last year of his 11year sentence on Federal Income Tax charges.

HEMINGWAY SMART ACCIDENT CASE
Charges Dismissed Against Both By Judge T. S. Caro-
APPEARS in LOCAL POLICE COURT

Driving home from the airport
where he arrived after flying
down from New York Tuesday,
Ernest Hemingway, Spanish war
correspondent and author, was in
volved in an alto accident.
Happy over 3g with his wife
and children again, Mr.. Heming-
way, Mrs Hemingway, friend,
Otto Bruce, and two children were
driving in their car going to their
residence on Whitehead street.
They were on Simonton. They
came to United. There, accord
ing to police court testimony yes
terday afternoon, Mr.. Hemingway
brought the car to stop. On his
right were several tall brush
plants. Going across, there sud-
denly flashed into view on their
right a car driven by Samuel
Smart, WPA worker, with Tony
Arthur as a passenger. Slamming
on his brakes, Mr.. Hemingway
brought his car to stop, he testi-
fled. Here is where yesterdays
testimony is not clear Which car
struck the other was a question
for some debate. At all events,
the Smart auto, coming between
Is and 80 miles an hour, accord
ing to testimony, slid to the right,
hit the curb, turned over, and
slid exactly 101s feet, said exact
number having been determined
in the testimony of Otto Bruce.
Then there was really scene,
according to bystanders, in which
arguments flew fast and thick.
Both drivers were arrested and
brought to Police Court yester-
day.
Samuel Smart in striped polo
shirt, his face sunburned, and
Ernest Hemingway, serious, but
able to smile from time to time
during the proceedings, were the
principal centers of interest.
Young Patrick Hemingway
Hemingway's son, testified and
said his dad was going Is miles
an hour. How did he know that?
He looked at the speedometer
Attorney George Brooks tried to
make the child realize that his
