Charlie the head of the flour boys,
il was considered the proper

that is what happened OF course.
Cookie claims that he and Mr.

Mccarthy. seconded by his able
father, told Cookie and Sam TO

 The next regular session of the general assembly will not convene until January.
 Tn view of this long period, Sen. Rabbett wrote, T respectfully sug- gest that you call Q special session of the general assembly so that Connecticut may take immediate steps to relieve this serious condi- tion."
 The governor, engaged in confer ences on relief and reconstruction, was expected to reply probably to- morrow.

PRESIDENT TO MEET
 WITH HIS CABINET
tcontinued from Page D

During the Italo- Ethiopian war, Italy continued to buy oil--the life- blood of her mechanized military machine-despite the embargo. Tn 1887 the law was strengthened to eliminate such loopholes. There is agitation now for further revision to permit shipments of arms to victims of aggressors.
 Invocation of the act also would withdraw protection from Americans travelling on the vessels of belliger- ents. Belligerents would have to pay cash and transport in their own ships raw materials not on the ern- bargoed list.
 Great Britain, France and their satellites-have piled up @ $l0,o00,- 100000 credit in this country which would be of great advantage to them if they had to pay cash for needed American materials. Germany and Italy have no such credit.

instructed on how to use gas masks which were being delivered.
 The transport board of London announced the closing of seven sub way stations at p. m. until further notice "for urgent structural alter ations" which obviously meant they would be used as air raid shelters.
 Attention centered on Chamber lain's speech.
 Czech Note Revealed
 At the same time the government made public a Czechslovak note, presented Sunday, rejecting Adolf Hitler's ultilmaturn for surrender of the Sudeten area as absolutely and internationally unacceptable" an- nouncing that czech oslovakia would resist with Gods help" and appealing to the two great western democracies, Great Britain and France, for aid Gin our hour of trial"
 The Czechoslovak note revealed how near Europe was at war, and the reason why Chamberlain de- cided to make an address tonight instead of waiting 1o hours to speak before the opening session of the emergency Parliament tomorrow.
 He decided to relay his speech by radio throughout the British empire and it will be rebroadcast in the United States and other foreign countries.
 He will speak at 8 p. m. @ p. m. EST) from the cabinet room of No. 10 Downing street, his official resi- dence
 It was believed that Chamberlain by publishing the Czechoslovak note and deciding to address the empire, was laying the historic record for the inceptions of 8 gen. eral war.
 He had appealed to Hitler direct ly. He had warned Hitler that Britain would back France in sup- porting Czechoslovakia Hitler had but repeated his ultimatum.
 Hinges On Saturday
 Hence, the situation seemed to be that If Germany marched into Czechoslovakia Saturday to enforce Hitler,s ultimatun, Europe would be plunged into a general war in which Premier Benito Mussolini had now bound Italy to support Germany.
 The inner cabinet, consisting of the Big Four" met today: Prime Minister Chamberlain, Foreign Sec retary Halifax, Sir John simon, of the exchequer, ana Sir Samuel Hoare. home secretary awaiting @ move from Hitler.

CZECHS PREPARE
 FOR GERMAN WAR
Continued from Page D


 Automatically, Czechoslovakia had placed herself in the hands of Great Britain and France, and was marking time until those countries decided whether Hitler's latest speech had reverted the situation back to where it was a week ago when Prime Minister Milan Hodza's government agreed to cede the su- deten area, or whether more sacri- fees would be demanded.
 Czechs had stood wfth stern faces and clenched fists during the speech, resenting especially Hitler's attack on President Eduard Benes, and re- iterating that i've shan't yield. The world will sec"
 They seemed to take for granted that Prague would be bombed at the outset of any hostilities. A group of 136 Americans left by special train last night for Budapest, vio Bratislava. A member of the Amer ican consulate escorted them. They included 65 Americans headed by Milton Shufro of Chicago, who had gone as far as the German frontier from Prague Sunday before deciding to return for fear that they would be interned in Germany.
 Most Britons had evacuated the city Saturday and Sunday. Except for 8 few members of the legation and newspapermen, the Americans remaining here were closly connect ed with the country.
 Authorities today gave the Ger man house here to non-Na1 Ger mans from the Sudeten area who had fled to the interior. There were accommodations for hundreds of these refugees. Meals were pro- vided them. The house originally was used by all German Czechoslo- walks and had been under Sude- ten control until the government confiscated it upon dissolving Kon- rad Henlein's Sudeten German party. The refugees to whom 1t was given today included German lib- erals, Socialists, Democrats and Communists.

COP COMMITTEE
 MEETS SATURDAY

Hartford, Sept. 27-(UP)-The Republican state central committee will meet here Saturday to act on the selection of e successor to the late Helen E. Lewis as candidate for secretary of state. Mrs. Lewis was drowned in the hurricane last week.
 The untimely death of Mrs. Lewis raises a question as to the proceed ure of the Saturday meeting as the Republican conventions this year failed to adopt routine resolution authorizing the state committee t0 i'll any vacancies. While committee men feel they have the right to name the substitute candidate, var- ious members of the party insist it will be necessary to call another convention.

N~SeA~ee@NaO~@ that Germany and Italy on one side, with about 100000 people, and Czechoslovakia, France, Russia and Great Britain on the other, with about 263 ,0oo, 900, would be in- volved within few weeks. It was the opinion of military men that in the early phases of such a war France would remain behind her Maginot line Notifications while Great Britain blockaded Germany in the Atlantic ocean and the Baltic Sea.
 Britain and France would be ex- pected to await action by Premier Benito Mussolini. If he joined Hit Ter, France would be expected to try to smash the Italian army with the object of knocking it out of the war, opening the way across north- ern Italy to attack Germany through Its back door, the southern Austrian frontier.
 The British navy presumably would aid the French navy to block ade Italy, at the Straits of Gibraltar and the Suez Canal.
 Warfare on the western front would be largely confined to the air, | the experts forecast.
 Admittedly if the French tried to smash through the mountainous re- Rions of northern Italy, they would have Q most difficult task but 1t has been done.
 It was believed that the Germans would go underground in their siegfried line forts, on the French frontier, and thus for some months military men would expect some- what static situation - neither France nor Germany wanting to test the others fortifications.
 Meanwhile, Britain and France would be gathering their tremen- dous reserves of men and money and materials for future eventuali- ties.
 In the event that Italy remained neutral for o time-a constant mem ace-their situation would be com plicated.
 Military men believed that the ini- tial phase of war, in which neither Britain nor France would attack Germany directly on land, might last for several months.
 Much depended, they said, on whether Russia was able to send airplanes only to Czechoslovakia or was able to start armies through Rumania, along Q i50-mile corridor from Russia to Czechoslovakia.
 It was believed that Britain at first would furnish France prin- cipally with air forces and mechan- ized forces, without trying to send Q huge expeditionary force as she did in the last World war.
 Militarly men forecast that Ger many would achieve spectacular suc- cesses in central Euope before the French and British could intervene effectively.
 France and Britain were at . dis advantage geographically. They could not get ct the Germans on land-one reason why Hitler refused to believe they would intervene.
 Hitler has nearly 500,000 men working on the Rhineland fortifica- ticns opposite France.
 With Belgium and Switzerland neutralized, the French and British could attack on front less than half as long as the western front In the lei4-lel0 war.
 As teh war progressed, Q possi- biiity was foreseen of an eventual attack on Germany from the Black seq, with Turkey as Q base. Tur- keys relations with Britain and Rus sia have been excellent.

EVACUATION OF
 PARIS IS READY
3,OOO,OOO Persons Warm ed to Be Ready-Test
 'BIackOut' Conducted

Paris, Sept. 27-CUP)-Each man, woman and child in this city of S,000,000 today was under specific orders of what to do at the first blast of the air raid signal.
 Within 24 hours all women and children would be evacuated to the open country; all men but soldiers. firemen and ambulance crews would be safely entrenched in bomb-proof shelters or trenches. An evacua- ton order would affect every per- son the same as general mobiliza- ton. Each would be assigned @ time and place to appear, to be carried to safety.
 Traffic would stop instantly on all streets and roads; if at night, the city would be plunged into absolute darkness.
 The art treasures of the Louvre, Versailles palace, and the other museums have been crated up for storage underground.
 The first test "blackout" was con- tiucted last night and although 8 few dim lights remained on, every preparation had been made to ob- literate all marks of the city from the air before Saturday, when France expects to know whether or not 1t will go to war with Germany.
 Newspapers notified the public of the rules which must be observed under threat of arrest.
 All civilians not needed in de- 1ense work were urged to evacuate the city at once and thousands were complying. Trains were crowded with outbound refugees carrying knapsacks, suitcases and bundles. Many children were taken away in groups by their teachers. They were headed for villages to be quartered in schools, houses or barns until places could be found for them with rural families.
 Embassy and consulate employees of all nations were asked to leave tho country, or at least leave the larger cities.
 Gasoline restrictions were lifted for families wishing to leave the city by automobiles.
 The government postponed the opening of schools indefinitely.

 This makes a total of 14 men who went to jail this morning or will surrender for incarceration by tomorrow on charges of violating the state lottery and policy laws.

 Altogether, 17 were given jail sen- tences, but two went to jail iinue- diately after sentence was imposed and the remaining IS were given continuances until today. One of the IS was today given a suspended jai lterm to replace the original term.
 The two men who went to jail
