STATE

Today is the last day in which to see "The Devils Party" starring Victor McLaglen and Sinners in Paradise" co-starring Madge Evans and John Boles, current attractions at Warner Bros. State theater. Tomorrow the State presents two Warner Bros. smash productions on the one big bill. Hit number one is Gold Diggers in Paris" the latest and most elab- crate of the Warner Bros. musicals, which promises to reach new high in entertainment. Most significant of all is the fact that it brings back to the screen, after three years absence, the one and only Rudy Vallee.
 That is an event in itself but the most important feature of this Gold Diggers" film is the motion picture debut of the extraordinary novelty band discovered by Vallee in St. Paul night club, which goes under the name fo Freddie Fishers Schnickelfritz Band" a sensational crew of mad musicians.
 Sharing the romantic and sing ing spotlight with Rudy is the luscious Rosemary Lane; doing the heavy dramatics is the brilliant Gloria Dickson, and contributing hilarious amusement is a group of star comedians which includes Hugh Herbert, Allen Jenkins, Mabel Todd, Melville Cooper, Ed Brophy, Curt Bois and Fritz Field.
 And then there are the "Gold Diggers" themselves, as luscious a group of chorines as Hollywood has to offer. Welded together by an hilarious story. Gold Diggers in Paris" promises the maximum in entertainment value.
 Hit number two presents "Where Were You Born?" the only picture ever filmed according to the mys- tic science of astrology, in fact the entire cast of this production was selected according to astrological calculationsl
 The picture is mystery thriller and is believed to be one of the most unusual filmed in years, interwoven with full quota of thrills
 Anna May Wong, Margaret Lind say, Lola Lane and Anthony Averill head the excellent cast.

Sentence of death shall be car- ried out and excuted upon you by the superintendent of the state pris- on as the executioner, his deputy executioner or such deputies as he may require to be present on some week day in the week set by the governor of the Stasc or Florida"
 Death in Electric Chair
 "At such time ard place, punish ment of death shall be inflicted up- on you by causing to pass through your body current of electricity sufficient in intensity to cause im- mediate death, and application of until you shall be dead"
 The judge ended by saying "may God have mercy on your soul"
 Mccall stood quietly, gazing at the judge, waiting to be returned to his cell on the 18th floor of the courthouse.
 Judgment Received Quietly The death sentence was received quietly by the crowded courtroom spectators remained seated until the prisoner was removed from the courtroom by Sheriff D. c. Coleman, several deputies, and half-dozen uniformed policemen. Then the crowd filed out slowly and silently.
 Jack Kehoe, the court-appointed defense attorney, said Mccall had not mentioned possibility of ap- pealing the sentence to the state supreme court.
 That and a request to Gov. Fred P. Cone to halt the execution were the only avenues open to Mccall to avoid the death penalty.

forthcoming before the middle of August. The audit firm offered to do the job on the basis of two months contract, at the rate cited, indicating that no complete proposal would be made within that space.
 The ideal treatment of Water- bury's financial crisis would be for the Griffennagen experts to combine their suggestions with proposals made through the mayor to the board of finance during such time as other employees of the firm were surveying the general situation in preparation for next years budget. it was remarked. This may be the eventual agreement between the city and the audit firm, a coopera- tive effort of city departments aid- ed by the specialists on city affairs from the audit firm.
 Present at the meeting of com- mittees last night at the confer- ence were Finance Commissioners Judge and John H. Goss; Chairman c. Arthur Dubois, of the aldermanic subcommittee. Aldermanic Presi- dent Patrick M. Perriello and AL derman Burton H. Walker; Control Ter Sherwood L. Rowland; and Registrars Derwin and Taller. AL though the matter of the voting machines and the canvass present. ed few obstances, once it was ex- plained that there would be no new expenditure necessitated by renting what machines are needed, by trans ferring available funds within the registrars office for the canvass the matter of city finances was dis cussed more than three hours.
 It was emphasized by both the aldermen and the finance commis- Sioners that economies of city gov- ernment must be made; that public sentiment seems adverse to levy of a special tax; and that the growth of Waterbury during late years calls for devising of budgetary matters by experts in advance of the coming year. Business conditions through out the country have created a general disruption in planned rev. enues not only in the municipal category but in state and the na- ton government to a degree that calls for considerable retrench- ment to provide balances and to prevent serious deficits.
 When the committee report is made today, with that of the mayor regarding possible further economies in city departments, Waterbury is expected to enter new phase of planned economy. Whether the Griffenhagen firm will be employed immediately, or later in the year will be principal consideration of the board either this afternoon or at the next meeting, it is antici- pated.

GRAND JURY IS IN ADJOURNMENT
(Continued on Page 9

Mascolo, was pushing its investiga- ton in the belief that several men were released from New Haven County Jail last election day for the purpose of voting.
 Mrs. Helen German, secretary to Judge Mascolo, delivered a pack age to County Detective Edward J. Hickey late yesterday afternoon Apparently it contained papers be- longing to Judge Mascolo.
 The other five witnesses called yesterday were not questioned, but remained in the court corridor throughout the day. They were City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice; Registrars of Voters Albert O. Taller and John T. Derwin; Michael Ber- gin and Michael J'Anthony, regis trars' clerks.
 While the jury is in recess, MT. Alcorn will undoubtedly confer with States Attorney Lorin w. Willis of Bridgeport with regard to the rul- ing which allows a defendant to inspect the jury's records - but not the minutes of deliberations. The ruling is now facing supreme court consideration.
 During the past few days while the jury was working, Assistant States Attorney Harold E. Mitchell has worked alone on the prosecu- ton of Hartford criminal cases. He will now be joined by MT. Alcorrl and son, Mead Alcorn.
 Since the jury handed out its scathing report of May 19, it has been working on an apparent "stagger" system, as it probed the last municipal election.
 After returning the report ar adjournment was taken until May "A when the election probe was in' stituted with the calling of three witnesses, Attorney Frederick w Palomba, David Queen" Scully. anc Harry A. Hanigan. The jury ther adjourned again for a week. unti May 31, when Major John w. Buck ley of Union, Attorney Richarc Ireland of Norwalk, and MT. ScullJ were called as witnesses.

judge said, having pleaded guilty to an abduction of one James Bai- ley Cash, Jr., for ransom, what have you to say why judgment should not now be rendered and sentenced im- posed upon you?"
 Mccall shook his head, indicat- ing he had nothing to say.
 Guilty Of Capital Offense
 Saying nothing" Judge Atkin- son continued, "the court in its judgment, and the court having heard the evidence in the case, finds that you are guilty of the crime of Kidnapping for ransom, the. same be- ing a capital offense under the laws of the state of Florida.
 Tt is the sentence of the law and the judgment of the court that you be remanded into the custody ot the sheriff of Dade County Flori- da, and be safely confined by the sheriff until such time as you shall be delivered to the superintendent of the state prison at Raiford, Flo- rida, and there you shall be kept securely until such time as the gov ernor of the State of Florida, by his warrant shall appoint for your exe- cution.

 Don't blame me for that"
 Hague said he opposes any "ism' that's against Americanism." He accused Norman Thomas, Socialist leader, of turning the party over to communism. At this point Thom- as, who was elected from Jersey City when he tried to speak at al! outdoor meeting, walked to a seat in the crowded court room.
 Ernst asked Hague:
 Under what circumstances have you the authority and legal right to take people in Jersey City and put them out?"
 Are you referring to the pres ence of MT. Thomas?" Hague asked
 T am referring to the basic proposition-whether you have the right to take human beings in Jer- sey City and put them out" Ernst explained.
 Circumstances a Cause
 "It entirely depends on the cir. cumstances," Hague replied. "TheTt is no putting out"
 "Is there any circumstance where you claim that the police have tht power to take human being ane remove him from Jersey City?' Ernst asked.
 "Yes, sir, there is," Hague said. While Ernst walked toward tht counsel table, his back toward tht witness, Hague began:a
 "Wait minute. Let me explain.
 "Oh, mo-" Ernst said.
 Opposition counsel interrupted tt say:
 MT. Hague was trying to ex' plain that the police take these peo. pie out of danger, for their owr safety"
 Ernst asked Hague if the United States Constitution permitted re- moval of persons from Jersey City
 "There are plenty of places where the police may escort persons to { place of safety" Hague replied. q think the mere creating of a police department gives power to escort people to a place of safety"

 At this time another adjourn ment was taken until June IA. - when the probe of the election was continued for two days. It appears that. this phase of the probe will be continued when the jury returns June 29. It is also pos sible, however, that another adjourn ment will be taken at that time.
 Defense counsel are at present preparing motions to be presented to superior court next Tuesday. Tha, a motion asking for the release o! the jury's evidence and testimony records will be made is certainty Attorney Patrick Healey, counsel fol Mayor Hayes and other defendants obtained certified copy of Judge Alfred 0.

The floors had been swept and cleaned by the two truck crews as to make it possible for all of us to survey the premises closely without falling over any loose boarding or plaster.

 The United States and Great Britain have taken undisputed lead in naval building, each having nearly 100 warships under construc- tion and many more authorized as soon as funds become available.
 Full details of the Japanese, Ital- ian and Soviet Russian programs have never been divulged. However, Italy is known to be building at least 75 fighting ships, while Japan is believed to have undertaken an equally large program. Russia is reportedly concentrating on sub marines and suicide fleets" of small, speedy torpedo boats.
 Germany is rapidly building up to it's pre-war strength, with at leasct 51 of the worlds most mod erdn warships being built or appro- priated for, and France has 45 craft on the ways.
 U. S. Takes Lead
 The United States holds slight edge over all contenders, with 94 ships being built, or for which money is available and will be spent as soon as shipyard facilities arc able to take the load. PreSi- dent Roosevelt has asked for five more warships, including two super dreadnaughts, one 20,000-ton air craft carrier and two cruisers and for experimentation with suicide fleet"
 Vessels already under construc- tion in the United States include four battleships, three aircraft car riers ,one heavy cruiser, Il light cruisers, 57 destroyers and g sub marines.
 At the discretion of the presi- dent this program will be augment ed by three battleships, two air craft carriers, nine cruisers, g destroyers and nine submarines.
 Following closely behind the United States is Great Britain with 85 warcraft being built and nearly that many more contemplated within the next few years. The mighty British armada, now the most powerful in the world, is being increased by the addition of five battleships, five aircraft carriers, IT light cruisers, 40 destroyers and IS submarines.
 German Limit Fixed
 The strength of the German navy is determined indirectly by the power of the British fleet, since a Lcndon- Berlin naval treaty fixes ths reich's sea defenses at 35 per cent of the entire naval power of the British empire.
 The NaZi government is rapidly building toward that goal, with the following ships under construction five battleships, two aircraft car riers, three heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, 12 destroyers and 25 sumarines.
 Meanwhile, Germany's two allies to check the spread of communism Japan and Italy-have embarked upon programs which are not known to the rest of the world.
 Italian Plans in Doubt
 Officials have considerable in- formation regarding Italian con- struction plans, as only two years have elapsed since the Fascist power bolted the 1886 international navay conference at London and muc hof the present program al. ready had been announced.

Carving of Wood
Is Ancient Art

DO YOU like to whittle? 1t isn't
strange if you do, for cutting and
carving wood is one OF the oldest arts
known.
AS far back as 1000 B. c. we know
that people liked to cut designs in
wood with a sharp instrument, and ex-
cavations in Egypt have shown that
people of that ancient time were skill
full at the art.
But today, in most parts Of the
world. wood carving exists only in the
hobby or pastime Of whiting. The
hand working of wood is too slow for
this rapid machine age. Only in Swift
zerland, France and, to lesser extent,
England, does the art hold its place
among other occupations, and even in
these countries there Is little demand
except for the work Of the most IA
nous carvers.
